NORCOR serves as the regional jail for four neighboring counties: Gil- liam, Hood River, Wasco and Sherman. The jail also houses detainees in ICE custody that federal immi- gration officers bring to and from the jail. The jail’s website says it will continue to house ICE detainees, but will no lon- ger accept ICE detainers for people who come into the jail on local charges. The new policy went into effect April 2, according to NORCOR’s website. BRIEFLY Ex-student alleging sex abuse by principal files $5M lawsuit EUGENE (AP) — A former student who police say was sexually abused by a former principal has filed a $5 million lawsuit against the Springfield School District, former district Superintendent Nancy Golden and former district human resources director Roger Jordan. The Register-Guard reports the suit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Eugene by attorney Barbara Long who’s representing the alleged adult victim. The victim is not named. School and police documents say former Academy of Arts and Academics principal Mike Fisher abused the victim beginning in 2007 when she was 14 and continued into adulthood.

PORTLAND (AP) — Mike Abbate, the director of Portland Parks & Recreation, has announced his resignation. The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports that Abbate told city officials on Monday that he is resigning “to pursue other opportunities.” The 60-year-old Abbate wrote to the city that being the director was the greatest honor of his professional career. Abbate’s resignation comes as his bureau is facing the prospect of a steep budget cut. Mayor Ted Wheeler has proposed a parks budget of nearly $200 million, which is nearly $10 million less than the previous year’s budget. The budget includes plans to close two community centers and eliminate several jobs, among other budget reductions.

WINDS — Founded Oct. 16, 1875 — The jail in The Dalles is no longer honoring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers for people entering on local charges. The Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facil- ity in The Dalles, known as NORCOR, officially changed its policy last month after settling a law- suit with a man who claimed officials at the jail violated his constitutional rights, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. The policy change and lawsuit show NORCOR honored ICE detainers, despite a 2014 court ruling that found ICE detainers did not provide independent authority to jails to hold peo- ple past the time when they Astoria Baker City Bend Brookings Burns Enterprise Eugene Heppner Hermiston John Day Klamath Falls La Grande Meacham Medford Newport North Bend Ontario Pasco Pendleton Portland Redmond Salem Spokane Ukiah Vancouver Walla Walla Yakima (in mph) June 6 Associated Press Caldwell 80/49 Medford 74/48 PRECIPITATION May 15 John Day 66/43 Ontario 80/50 49° 44° 28° (2002) 24 hours ending 3 p.m. Month to date Normal month to date Year to date Last year to date Normal year to date Sunrise today Sunset tonight Moonrise today Moonset today New First Albany 65/47 Eugene 65/48 TEMPERATURE Yesterday Normals Records 85° 56° Spokane Wenatchee 66/45 72/51 Tacoma Moses 64/48 Lake Pullman Aberdeen Olympia Yakima 75/50 61/43 58/49 64/47 75/49 Longview Kennewick Walla Walla 63/49 69/53 Lewiston 77/52 Astoria 67/49 59/49 Portland Enterprise Hermiston 69/51 Pendleton 61/39 The Dalles 75/52 68/50 73/53 La Grande Salem 63/42 67/50 Corvallis 64/47 HIGH 78° 47° Seattle 65/50 ALMANAC Yesterday Normals Records 70° 48° Today SUNDAY Sunny, pleasant and warmer 62° 46° Wednesday, May 9, 2018 Single copy price: $1 Tuesday through Friday, $1.50 Saturday -10s -0s showers t-storms 0s 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low National Summary: Locally severe storms will pester the middle Mississippi Valley as rain soaks the Upper Midwest today.

The credit rating agency Moody’s Investor Service says in a study released Tues- day that legalizing recreational use of marijuana brings gov- ernments more money than it costs to regulate it. Despite high taxes on the legal sales of the drug, the rev- enue accounts for a small por- tion of government budgets. In Colorado, the first state to legalize recreational use, a marijuana tax brings in the equivalent of about 2 percent of the state budget. In Washington state, gross revenue from marijuana legal- ization equaled 1.2 percent of general fund revenue in the 2015-17 state budget. Most of the states that have legalized marijuana earmark the revenue for law enforce- ment, drug treatment and other specific programs, which doesn’t help the states’ finan- cial flexibility. Likewise, Moody’s described the revenue effect as minimal on local governments in states with legalized pot. Creating revenue for the state is one argument propo- nents use for legalization in New Jersey. Gov. Phil Mur- phy, who supports the effort, is planning on having an addi- tional $60 million in taxes from legalized marijuana in the next fiscal year.
