event in nearby Roy Raley
park to coincide with the
fireworks.
Driskell made the $1,000
offer last year after finding
out there would be no
fireworks in 2017. He said
he has great memories of
watching the show from
his grandmother’s porch,
and didn’t like the idea of
everyone leaving town to see
fireworks.
Imsland and Driskell are
also working to assemble a
cleanup crew after the event,
and they both plan to be part
of the Fourth of July parade
earlier in the day. Imsland
also said he is working to
make sure the event stays
funded in future years.
BMCC: ‘Hands-on is huge’
convention, Livingston said.
They hoped to show their
high school counterparts that
attending college is more than
just sitting in a room with
four white walls listening to
lectures.
“Hands-on is huge,”
Livingston said. “BMCC has
relevant stuff.”
Lilian Woods, a freshman
from Sandy High School,
worked with Juniper Cosner
of BMCC mashing soil into
ribbons using their hands,
analyzing its fragile, loamy
makeup. Woods, who is in
her first year of FFA, said she
hopes the program will even-
tually lead her to scholarships
to help pay for her college
education.
Though Woods said she
does not come from an agri-
cultural background, she likes
working with animals and
believes doing FFA can help
her become a better public
speaker.
Ethan Akers, a senior at
Heppner High School, said
FFA has taught him leader-
ship as well as practical skills,
such as welding and operating
heavy equipment — the latter
of which he intends to pursue
for a career.
“(FFA) has opened up a
whole bunch more career
opportunities,
honestly,”
Akers said.

weren’t competing in an
event, or waiting for the next
workshop to begin.
Livingston, who is also
director of marketing for the
college, said the activities
were meant to give kids some-
thing to do during downtime,
as well as introduce them to
agricultural programs offered
at BMCC.
“Nobody likes to walk
up and talk to someone they
don’t know,” Livingston
said. “But if they have a little
something interactive, they’ll
do that. That inspires the
conversation.”
Apart from the saddle
exercise, FFA members could
test their skills in soil judging,
practice welding patterns with
crackers and spray cheese, or
fly a tiny drone around an
obstacle course marked by
orange ribbon and blue and
yellow balloons.
The event was originally
envisioned to be a compe-
tition between BMCC and
other collegiate FFA teams,
but Livingston said the
scheduling did not work out
because many schools were
on spring break.
Six students from BMCC
willingly gave up the first
five days of their own spring
break to participate in the

7 GOP candidates face off
in Oregon gubernatorial debate
KEIZER (AP) — Oregon Republican gubernatorial
candidates go back and forth on several topics, but they all
agree the state’s Democratic Gov. Kate Brown must go.
Seven candidates during a debate Saturday in Keizer
blamed Brown and Democrats in the state legislature for
what they see as Oregon’s biggest problems, including poor
high school graduation rates, lack of accountability for public
officials and high taxes, the Statesman Journal reported .
Bend businessman Sam Carpenter called for the end
of the “32-year progressive far-left reign of terror” and for
Republicans to take control of not only the governorship,
but both legislative chambers.
Carpenter even made it clear that he has no interest in
working with Democrats.
“There’s no more crossing the aisle,” he said. “We’ve
been doing that for 30 years. We need to go in there and we
need to fix it.”
Candidate Greg Wooldridge, a former U.S. Navy pilot
and a social conservative, received 40 percent support
in a straw poll in early March at the annual conservative
Dorchester Conference; Carpenter received 20 percent.
State Rep. Knute Buehler was absent from the debate,
which was hosted by Oregon Women for Trump. Buehler
received 29 percent support at the conference.
Buehler is considered by many to be the most likely
Republican to face Brown in the November general election.
He has about $1.9 million on hand as of Sunday for his
gubernatorial run — far more than the combined total of his
primary opponents.He also has state government experience
and the support from top Republicans in the state, including
House Republican Leader Mike McLane.
The Oregon gubernatorial election will be held Nov.
6. Incumbent Democratic Gov. Brown is eligible to seek
election to a full term after winning a special election in
2016 to fill the void left by John Kitzhaber.
Oregon assault weapons ban
petitioners turn in signatures
SALEM (AP) — Petitioners for an initiative that
would restrict the sale of assault weapons in Oregon have
submitted some of the signatures necessary to make the
November ballot.
If the batch submitted Monday in Salem includes at
least 1,000 valid signatures, the attorney general will begin
the ballot title drafting process. Petitioners must ultimately
submit 88,184 signatures by July 6.
The initiative opposed by conservatives will likely be
appealed to the Oregon Supreme Court, and petitioners
cannot gather signatures during an appeal.
Penny Okamoto, executive director of Ceasefire Oregon,
tells the Statesman Journal she’s concerned a months-long
legal review will leave too little time to collect signatures.
Okamoto says if they fail to make this year’s ballot,
supporters of the ban will push for it during the next legislative
session. If that fails, they will try for the 2020 ballot.

candidate Greg Wooldridge speaks at a debate hosted
by Oregon Women for Trump on Sunday at the Keizer
Community Center in Salem.
Scores of neglected horses
seized from Oregon property
TERREBONNE (AP) — Sheriff’s deputies and volunteers
seized 83 horses from a property in Central Oregon.
Deschutes County officials tell KTVZ that many of the
animals had signs of hoof neglect. They were moved from the
property in Terrebonne to an animal-rescue ranch in southeast
Bend.
A requested welfare check brought deputies to the property
late Saturday, and removal of the horses began Sunday. It took
nearly 12 hours to move them all.
The rescue came a little more than a week after the
Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office seized 53 dogs from a
breeder’s property in La Pine.
