Although the Airport Road extension is less than a decade old and was paid for with a temporary 4-cent gas tax, staff told the council that the city should prioritize the UAS industrial park instead of the property off Airport Road, which would still need additional investment before it would be shovel ready. The council took the first step in prioritizing the UAS park by approving a $356,359 booster station and a reser- voir design at a meeting on Tuesday. At a meeting with the East Oregonian editorial board Wednesday, Steve Chrisman, economic development direc- tor and airport manager, made the case that the UAS range is doing enough business that it requires the millions in new investment. The federal grant would help build new hangars at the airport, and Chrisman said See DRONES/3A ed Man arrest ht nig after late bbing double sta A patchwork life One dollar Bros. via AP Ocean 8 For showtime, Page For review, Weekend 5A EO Weekend Weather PENDLETON Officials hope drones can lift airport out of debt $25 million investment planned at new UAS industrial park o baker on cks Colorad Justices ba dding cake refusal same-sex we SOUND LIFESTYLES/ OF 1C One dollar HERMISTON GRADU For times and places see Coming Events, 6A Start by believing A 2018 AWARD Catch a movie of 2016. as little as 0.5 percent In some categories, start of benchmark at the were able to meet of the school year, no less the year.

Gun rights advocates are collecting signatures to get an initiative on the November ballot that would restrict Umatilla County from using any resources to enforce state or federal laws that will “infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” The initiative designates the county sheriff as the authority to decide which state or federal laws meet the definition of Fri 82/52 unconstitutionally infringing on those rights. Umatilla County’s chief petition- ers are Jesse Bonifer of Athena and Kevin Pettey of Hermiston, but Boni- fer said similar efforts to pass an ordi- nance with matching language are taking place in counties around the state. Four — Wallowa, Coos, Curry and Wheeler counties — already have passed a Second Amendment Preser- vation Ordinance through their county board of commissioners or, in Coos County’s case, via ballot initiative. “This is a firewall for anyone com- Hermiston grads toss their mortarboa rds into the air Thursday night Turning the tass el at the Toyota Center in Kennewick.
