Oregon receives $500K to
State aims to preserve original
assist veterans in 10 counties constitution, warts and all
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
PORTLAND — The
Oregon Department of
Veterans’ Affairs
said
Monday it will receive
grants worth a combined
$500,000 to provide free
transportation to medical
appointments for military
veterans living in 10 rural
counties.
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.

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

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

to 22 counts, including
irst degree manslaughter,
assault and drunken
driving.
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.

moved into this building, it
never was in an environmen-
tally controlled space.”
These days, the constitu-
tion is kept with 250 million
other pieces of paper, all
at a chilly 65 degrees with
45 percent humidity in the
archives building.
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.
