Your Ears. Your Brain.
Your Hearing.
You hear with your brain, not your ears.
Studies show that individuals with hearing loss experience
a 30-40 percent accelerated rate of cognitive decline * . This decrease
in brain stimulation may contribute to brain atrophy * . The greater the rate of
hearing loss the faster the decline of memory and thinking * . Exciting new hearing
aid technology works to augment these natural processes for clearer, better
hearing, just like the brain intended.

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

launch local initiative petition
The Second Amendment Preserva-

to Umatilla County.
Gun rights advocates are collecting
signatures to get an initiative on the
November ballot that would restrict
Umatilla County from using any

rights.

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.
