The money from the Veterans Administration will go to transportation agencies in Baker, Gilliam, Grant, Lake, Harney, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Wallowa and Wheeler counties, all of which have a population density of fewer than seven people per square mile. Nearly 9,500 veterans live in the Oregon counties and many must travel hours for treatment at Veterans Administration medical centers in Bend, Portland, Roseburg and other cities, said Tyler Francke, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Oregon has secured the grants since 2014. The irst year, it received $400,000 because only eight counties participated, but in 2015 Lake and Harney counties joined the program and the state netted $500,000 — a maximum of $50,000 for each county, he said. “When you’re talking about these counties, really no matter where you’re going you’re looking at a pretty big trip,” he said. In Wheeler County, Oregon’s least populous county with just 1,441 people, the grants help Wheeler County Commu- nity Transportation provide service to 33 veterans who range in age from 75 to 95, said Linda Glawe, a dispatcher. The drivers are all volun- By ANDREW SELSKY Associated Press teers, she said, and trips to veterans medical centers can easily make for a 14-hour day. Some riders try to donate $5 or $10 for the lift, but most live on limited incomes, she said. The grant money helps make up the difference when one trip can mean $60 in gas alone. “It’s a blessing because it helps us stay aloat,” Glawe said. Last year, programs in the 10 participating counties logged more than 274,600 miles and spent 9,871 hours on the road, Francke said. The 5,453 trips accounted for nearly half of the trips provided nationally under the Veterans Administration’s Highly Rural Transportation Grant program, he added. Nearly 300 counties in 25 states qualify as highly rural counties and can apply for the grant money. SALEM — Inside the white-marble state archives building, way in the back of a cavernous room, lies Oregon’s original constitu- tion. It’s in poor shape, and among its fading pages is a clause from an ugly chapter in the state’s history that completely conlicts with its progressive image. Now, the state is trying to raise funds from schoolchil- dren and others to restore the leather-bound document, and to buy a special case to preserve and display it, warts and all. They’ve raised one-tenth of the amount needed so far. On a recent morning, State Archivist Mary Beth Herkert walked past rows of laden shelves that mechan- ically shift at the touch of a button. She got to a door, spun a wheel like one on a submarine hatch, and walked inside a vault. There, sitting in a box on a shelf, was Oregon’s founding document. Herkert carefully opened the constitution with gloved hands. Some pages were starting to fall out. The vegetable ink on linen paper is fading after 159 years. It could be even worse, considering how the docu- ment was kept for decades. For many of those years, there isn’t even any record of where the constitution was stored, Herkert said. She could not conirm one account that the constitution was saved from a ire that destroyed the Oregon State Capitol in 1935. “That it is not in awful condition, I think, is pretty remarkable,” Herkert said. “Until 1990-1991, when we BRIEFLY Kitzhaber opposes Measure 97 PORTLAND (AP) — A former Oregon governor has broken ranks with his fellow Democrats to protest a proposed business tax. The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports that former Gov. John Kitzhaber on Sunday night posted an argument against the tax on his website and on Facebook. Gov. Kate Brown, also a Democrat, backs the tax proposal called Measure 97. It would create a new gross receipts tax on speciic kinds of Oregon businesses with $25 million or more in sales. Kitzhaber says he agrees that corporations could afford to contribute more to close Oregon’s budget deicit and help support public services. But he argues that the revenue generated by Measure 97 would be too much and wouldn’t necessarily ix anything. Kitzhaber resigned in February 2015 after an inluence-peddling scandal. Woman pleads guilty to two drunken crashes GRANTS PASS (AP) — A Grants Pass woman has pleaded guilty in connection to two drunken driving crashes, one of which resulted in a passenger’s death. The Grants Pass Daily Courier reports that 23-year-old Breanna White pleaded guilty on Friday Corrections Pendleton Round-Up concessions director Karl Farber was misidentiied in a story that ran on Page 6A of the weekend edition of the East Oregonian. The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

Police say White lost control of her car Aug. 6, 2015, causing her vehicle to roll over and land on its top. White was ejected along with four other occupants of the vehicle. One person died in the crash and others suffered serious injuries. An investigation by the Oregon State Police found White was connected to another August crash that was never reported to police. She drove off the road and into a fence, injuring three people. Want Year Around Outdoor Space? W e’ve Got A Solution!

Written by white men in 1857 after a constitutional convention, it contained a clause prohibiting black people from residing in Oregon. That clause was approved in a popular vote, along with a ban on slavery. That made Oregon the only state admitted to the Union with an exclusionary clause in its constitution. The exclusionary clause remained until it was repealed in 1927. That history reverberates even now. Oregon’s population is only 2.1 percent black, compared with 13.3 percent for all of America, according to the 2015 U.S. census.
