Electric vehicle maker raises nearly $20M
Arcimoto via AP
This undated photo provided by Arcimoto shows elec-
tric vehicles produced by the Oregon-based company.
They’re also much smaller.
Three fit into a typical
parking space.
The vehicles can travel
70 miles on a fully charged
standard battery pack or 130
miles with an extended range
battery.
Arcimoto in the coming
months plans to establish
a larger production facility
at an undisclosed location
in Eugene — home to
Two more accused of stealing
mom’s purse after school shooting
financing for the startup — a
small player in an industry
dominated by Tesla and
major
traditional
auto
makers. Arcimoto had 1,778
preorder customers as of
Tuesday. It hopes to deliver
its first vehicles by the end
of the year and the rest of the
pre-ordered vehicles by the
end of 2018.
Frohnmayer said the
company’s goal is to dramat-
ically increase production in
2019 and build at least 10,000
vehicles.
In its monthlong IPO that
closed Friday, Arcimoto sold
stock for $6.50 a share.
In its initial June
prospectus, Arcimoto said it
hoped to raise $10 million
through the stock sale, and
planned to raise an addi-
tional $18 million within 15
months.
“Raising nearly $20
million — almost double the
original target — will let us
move faster,” Frohnmayer
told the newspaper.
On track to deliver
first vehicles this year
EUGENE
(AP)
—
Arcimoto, an Oregon-based
electric vehicle company,
raised nearly $20 million in
a recent initial public offering
and its founder says the firm
is on track to deliver its first
vehicles to customers this
year.
Arcimoto shares will
begin trading Thursday on
Nasdaq under the ticker
symbol FUV. That stands for
“Fun Utility Vehicle,” which
is how the company describes
its vehicles with seats for a
driver and one passenger,
three wheels and motorcycle
handlebar-style steering.
The price of the compa-
ny’s base model price is
$11,900 — about a third of
the price of a typical electric
car, the company said.
At 1,000 pounds, the
vehicles are about one-fourth
the weight of a standard car.
BRIEFLY
the University of Oregon.
Company founder Mark
Frohnmayer’s late father
— former Oregon Attorney
General Dave Frohnmayer
— was president of the
university from 1994-2009.
The company employs
23 people and will hire
more people as production
increases, Frohnmayer told
The Register-Guard.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Authorities have arrested
two additional suspects accused of stealing a purse from
a car as parents searched for their children after last
week’s high school shooting in Washington state.
The Spokane Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that
37-year-old Renee Mann and 39-year-old Larry Flett
were arrested Tuesday evening on investigation of theft
and vehicle prowling. Mann also faces identity theft and
forgery charges.
Another woman, 33-year-old Nicole Jensen, was
arrested Monday. She’s accused of theft and forgery.
Authorities say the three broke into a vehicle
belonging to a mother of a Freeman High School
student. She had parked her car on Highway 27 and
rushed to the school to find out whether her child was
safe following the Sept. 13 campus shooting.
A 15-year-old boy is charged with killing one
classmate and wounding three others.
Authorities earlier said the suspects racked up more
than $36,000 dollars in fraudulent charges.
Court overturns conviction
of Oregon man who shot wife
PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Court of Appeals
has overturned the conviction of a man who pleaded
guilty to killing his wife.
According to court documents, Peter Zielinski of
Keizer told police he suspected his wife had been having
an affair and found text messages and e-mails that
confirmed his suspicions.
Police say the man told them 38-year-old Lisa
Zielinski looked at him with disgust and asked him to
leave her alone on the January 2011 morning he shot her.
Zielinski entered a conditional guilty plea in 2013,
giving him the right to appeal the conviction that sent
him to prison for 25 years to life.
In its opinion Wednesday, the Appeals Court said the
trial judge wrongfully excluded expert testimony that
Zielinski had been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder,
which he was to offer in support of a defense of extreme
emotional disturbance.
Governor, Hispanic lawmakers vow to defend Latinos
“The comments that Attorney General Jeff
Sessions made yesterday while in Portland do
nothing to make America great. Instead, they
incite fear and chaos, and undermine
Oregon’s workforce and our economy.”
SALEM (AP) — Oregon
Gov. Kate Brown and
Hispanic
members
of
the
Legislature
vowed
Wednesday to defend Latinos
in the state, including those
who entered the country
illegally.
In a ceremony marking
Hispanic Heritage Month in
Oregon, Brown denounced
U.S. Attorney General Jeff
Sessions’ comments he made
to law enforcement officials
in Oregon. Sessions urged
locales whose police don’t
cooperate with federal immi-
gration agents to reconsider
their policies, and said federal
grant money cannot be given
to sanctuary cities.
“The comments that
Attorney
General
Jeff
Sessions made yesterday
while in Portland do nothing
to make America great,”
Brown said. “Instead, they
incite fear and chaos, and
undermine Oregon’s work-
force and our economy.”
Rep. Teresa Alonso Leon,
the first immigrant to be
elected to the Oregon Legis-
lature, said the state’s Latino
population has increased 72
percent since 2000 and the
number of businesses owned
by Latinos rose by 44 percent
— Kate Brown, Oregon Governor
between 2007 and 2012, with
Latinos in Oregon owning
over 6,000 businesses.
“We are growing. We are
powerful, and we are here
to stay,” said Alonso Leon,
adding: “It is important to
build a better future for those
who come after us.”
Alonso Leon, a Democrat
who is from the predomi-
nantly Latino town of Wood-
burn, was brought to the
U.S. illegally from Mexico
as a child. Her family gained
permanent residence status
under a Reagan-era amnesty.
She became a U.S. citizen in
2012.
Rep. Diego Hernandez,
a Democrat representing
Portland, told those gathered
in Brown’s ceremonial office,
including the consuls from
Mexico and Guatemala, that
there is “a lot of hate and
xenophobia in our commu-
nities, especially here in
Oregon.”
Hernandez
said
he
has gone through a rough
period. Hernandez was
recently cleared of a rumor
that he maintained a list of
female lobbyists, ranking
them by “attractiveness and
certain physical attributes,”
Willamette Week, a Portland
newspaper, reported Tuesday.
Hernandez has said the rumor
was due to racism, prompted
by his Latino heritage and
because he advocates for
immigrant rights.
He had requested the
inquiry to verify the allega-
tions and identify the source
of the rumor. The office of
the legislative counsel said in
a letter that the investigation
had shown the rumor was
false, but that investigators
were unable to identify the
source.
Meanwhile, a group called
Oregonians for Immigration
Reform is seeking signatures
of registered Oregon voters
to place a measure onto the
November 2018 statewide
ballot that would seek to
repeal a 30-year-old statute
that made Oregon America’s
first sanctuary state. The law
prohibits law enforcement
from detaining people who
are in the U.S. illegally but
have not broken other laws.
Oregonians for Immi-
gration Reform said it needs
88,184 signatures.
“Illegal aliens can and do
harm the American citizens
to whom Oregon owes its
foremost responsibility,” the
group’s website said. “For
this reason, enforcement
of U.S. immigration law
is central to the duties of
Oregon’s police departments
and sheriff’s offices.”

PORTLAND (AP) — A Forest Grove man says U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents mistook
him for a man who is not in the country legally.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that ICE agents
approached Isidro Andrade-Tafolla and his wife on
Monday near a Hillsboro courthouse after a protest
against recent ICE arrests outside the courthouse.
Andrade-Tafolla says the agents showed him a photo
of a Hispanic man that they were searching for that they
believed was him.
The U.S. citizen says the only thing he and the man
in photo have in common is that they are both Hispanic.
The agents left after a separate agent confirmed that
Andrade-Tafolla was not the man they were looking for.
ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice declined to comment
on the encounter.
Corrections
An article in Wednesday’s East Oregonian incorrectly
stated that Umatilla County appraises the value of the
Tollgate Store & Restaurant at $272,430. That figure is the
property’s assessed tax value. The East Oregonian works
hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors. If you
notice a mistake in the paper, please call 541-966-0818.
