Oregon lawmakers consider
banning livestock discrimination
Bill would prohibit
species-specific
restrictions by
county governments
By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI
Capital Bureau
SALEM — An incident
of prejudice against pigs near
the state capital has Oregon
lawmakers contemplating a
broader prohibition against
livestock discrimination.
A landowner in West
Salem is facing a prohibition
against raising pigs on prop-
erties smaller than 10 acres
due to a species-specific
regulation by Polk County’s
government.
The dispute has caught
the attention of Rep. Paul
Evans, D-Monmouth, and
Rep. Brian Clem, D-Salem,
who have proposed a bill
that would ban county ordi-
nances that generally allow
livestock but forbid certain
animals.
“It’s weird to exclude one
particular species,” Evans
said during a March 23
hearing on House Bill 3016.
Evans drew a parallel
to George Orwell’s classic
book, “Animal Farm,” in
which all animals are equal
but then some become more
equal than others.
Species-specific
live-
stock restrictions seem to
run counter to the philos-
ophy of Oregon’s “right to
farm” law, which disallows
local restrictions against

common farming practices,
he said.
Such
prohibitions
are also at odds with the
growing movement toward
local foods, which requires
that farms be located close
to urban areas, Evans said.
“It was curious to me that
swine were called out,” he
said.
In the case that spurred
the proposal, though, the
situation is complicated
because the property is
located within the “urban
growth boundary” for
Salem, but isn’t actually
within the city limits, Evans
said.
The “right to farm” law
only applies to land zoned
for farming and forestry
uses, said Mary Anne Nash,
public policy counsel for the
Oregon Farm Bureau, which
supports HB 3016.
The West Salem prop-
erty in question is within
a suburban residential
zone, though the county
may rezone the property
to resolve the conflict, said
Mark Nystrom, policy
manager of the Association
of Oregon Counties.
The Association
of
Oregon Counties opposes
HB 3016 due to its “all or
nothing” approach to local
livestock regulations, he said.
It’s possible that some
county governments will
simply decide to ban all
livestock in certain zones if
they’re not allowed to have
species-specific ordinances,
he said.
Nystrom also pointed out
that in “Animal Farm,” it
was the pigs that ended up
taking over the property and
becoming the oppressors.
The exchange elicited a
comment from Sen. Betsy
Johnson, D-Scapoose, who
was waiting to testify on
other legislation related to
shellfish, but said she was
grateful the committee was
considering the swine-re-
lated bill.
“I’ve spent countless
nights worried about porcine
presence in populated
areas,” she said.
Spacewalking astronauts prep station for new parking spot
CAPE CANAVERAL,
Fla. (AP) — Spacewalking
astronauts prepped the
International Space Station
on Friday for a new parking
spot reserved for commer-
cial crew capsules.
The
250-mile-high
complex already has one
docking port in place for
the SpaceX Crew Dragon
and Boeing Starliner, which
should start carrying up
astronauts as early as next
year. Friday’s spacewalk
set the stage for a second
docking location. A new
docking device will fly up
late this year or early next.
NASA astronaut Shane
Kimbrough disconnected
all four cables from an old
docking port, using some
extra force on one. He
looped a spare tether around
the balky cable and pulled,
and off it came. “Nicely
done, Shane,” Mission
Control radioed.
On
Sunday,
flight
controllers in Houston
will move the old port to
provide better clearance
for the future ships. Then
on Thursday, the crew will
conduct another spacewalk
to secure the unit.
Until the new crew
capsules come on line, U.S.
astronauts will keep riding
Russian rockets to orbit.
As Kimbrough worked
on the docking port and
replaced a computer-relay
box, French astronaut
Thomas Pesquet hunted for
signs of an ammonia coolant
leak in outdoor plumbing.
The leak, while still small,
has worsened recently, and
NASA wants to pinpoint the
location.
“No leaks. No flakes
whatsoever,” he reported.
During their 6 ½-hour
excursion, the spacewalkers
also replaced a pair of
Japanese cameras, greased
latching mechanisms on
the end of the big robot arm
and even tackled some extra
work.
Their
crewmates
welcomed them back inside,
wearing
special
black
glasses and face masks,
after Kimbrough reported
there was a yellow chalk-
like substance on one of his
gloves. As an added precau-
tion, both of his gloves were
bagged before they came off.

Drive-thru coffee
shop opens in
Pendleton
PENDLETON — Some-
times all it takes is a clever
name and a social media
presence.
After a slower start than
expected when it opened on
Wednesday, business picked
up on Friday morning for
the Pendleton Ground-Up,
a drive-thru coffee shop at
1803 S.W. Emigrant Ave.
“This morning I got
my ass kicked,” co-owner
Megan Miner said with a
smile, attributing the jump
in customers to word-of-
mouth on Facebook.
Miner said she has
owned a few coffee shops
in Bend and was interested
in getting back into the
business when she and her
husband moved to Pend-
leton a couple years ago.
With some persistence,
Miner was able to buy
the shop, which formerly
housed the Pendleton Coffee
Bean before it moved to
Main Street.
Miner was concerned
that the Ground-Up’s play
on words might rankle
people associated with the
world famous rodeo, but
she said she got the OK to
keep the name from some
Round-Up Association
board members.
The Ground-Up serves
all the cafe staples like
coffee, tea, espressos,
smoothies and frappes in
addition to pastries from
Eden’s Kitchen.
Miner said she was also
open to suggestions for new
menu items from customers,
like breakfast sandwiches.
Cummins to close
Pendleton shop
PENDLETON — A
Pendleton diesel engine
retailer and service shop is
packing its bags and moving
to Pasco.
Operations manager
Eric Smith said Cummins
Northwest’s Pendleton
store is moving because its
223 S.W. 23rd St. location
doesn’t have enough room
for further expansion,
especially given the large
commercial businesses that
surround it like Wal-Mart
and Safeway.
Smith said some of
Cummins Northwest’s six
employees will transfer to
the new Pasco location, with
an expected move date set
for May or June.
Cummins Northwest
is a regional subsidiary of
Cummins Inc., a Columbus,
Indiana-based company
with more than 7,800
dealers and distributors
around the world.

RadioShack to
transition to
Sprint store
PENDLETON — The
Pendleton RadioShack
couldn’t escape the
struggles of its parent
company and is in the
process of closing, but the
Melanie Square storefront
probably won’t become
vacant.
RadioShack employees
declined to comment
Friday amidst signs
advertising the store’s
impending closure, but
RadioShack’s landlord did
share some information on
the development.
Darren Dickerhoof, the
Corvallis-based owner of
Melanie Square, said that
Sprint has informed him
that they will be assuming
the lease as the space
transitions to a Sprint store.
RadioShack partnered
with the mobile phone
company when it declared
bankruptcy in 2015, but
a second bankruptcy
declared March 8
didn’t seem to save the
RadioShack half of the
Pendleton store.
The RadioShack
website states that the
company will shut down
at 185 stores across the
country.
RadioShack is one of
