EARTHLINK INTERNET HIGH SPEED INTERNET in four years, Oregon ranks 48th for high school gradua- tion rates. And the state ranked 39th in 2015 for child food inse- curity, with about 22.5 per- cent of Oregon kids facing malnutrition. But that’s a slight improvement, as the state’s overall rate of food insecurity continues to decline, accord- ing to an October study from Oregon State University. “The strength of the Ore- gon economic recovery appears to have finally had a positive effect on reduc- ing food insecurity,” wrote Mark Edwards, a profes- sor of sociology at OSU’s School of Public Policy, in an October report. “These positive trends being noted, Oregon continues to have a food insecurity rate that is statistically significantly higher than the rate for the U.S. as a whole, representing about 560,000 Oregon adults and children in food insecure households.” $ 49.99/mo. first 12 months HyperLinkh High-Speed Internet Satellite Internet Connection speeds up to 75 Mbps* What you get with HughesNet Satellite Internet: ! 50X faster than DSL!!** !

The legislation, approved by a bipartisan 20-1 vote, would renew farm safe- ty-net programs such as subsidies for crop insur- ance, farm credit, and land conservation and extend the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, widely known as food stamps, which helps feed more than 40 million people. It also includes provi- sions known as the Timber Innovation Act, sponsored by Oregon Sen. Jeff Merk- ley, which would create a new research and devel- opment program under the USDA for mass timber and calls for studying the environmental footprint of wood building construction while analyzing potential impacts on wildlife. The panel’s approval comes as farm country is struggling with low prices and a potential trade war that could depress farm commodities prices further. The legislation was drafted along traditionally bipartisan lines to ease its passage through the closely divided Senate, where Dem- ocrats have significant influ- ence over most legislation. Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., worked closely with top panel Democrat Debbie Stabenow of Mich- igan to produce the legisla- tion, which aims to reduce fraud in the food stamp pro- gram but avoids controver- sial efforts to impose stricter work requirements and pro- visions to restrict eligibility. “We’ve put our political differences aside,” Stabe- now said. The House measure, which failed last month because of an intra-GOP battle over immigration, promises greater job train- ing opportunities for recip- ients of food stamps, a top priority for House lead- ers like Speaker Paul Ryan. Democrats say the House measure is poorly designed and would drive 2 million people off of the program. A re-vote is likely in com- ing weeks. The current food and farm bill expires at the end of September and Roberts acknowledged that enacting the legislation this year will be difficult. A short-term extension is a likely option. “To those who say pass- ing a farm bill in this envi- ronment is a daunting task, I say together we can get it done,” Roberts said. “We must embrace the attitude of our producers — optimism and ingenuity.” The measure includes legislation by Senate Major- ity leader Mitch McCo- nnell, R-Ky., that would legalize the production of industrial hemp, which is generally barred because hemp is related to mari- juana, even though it con- tains little of that drug’s key psychoactive ingredi- ent, known as THC. McCo- nnell secured a hemp pilot program in the most recent farm bill in 2014 and views the crop as a good replace- ment for tobacco. McConnell hopes to bring the measure to the Senate floor before the July 4 recess. The measure would limit subsidy payments to farmers earning less than $700,000, down from $900,000. It seeks to block states from gaming the food stamp program to win addi- tional funding, and reautho- rizes two subsidy programs that form the backbone of the farm safety net. Sen. Charles Grass- ley, R-Iowa, was the sole “nay” vote. He objected to the measure’s hemp provi- sion, saying it should have been handled within the Judiciary Committee that he chairs. Correction The June 13 story “Rules for containers, guest houses unpacked at city council meeting” misquoted Rhonda Sallee. She asked whether the proposed rules for ship- ping containers would apply to those already in place.

Save the Children used five main data points cor- responding to events that “end” childhood: infant mor- tality, malnutrition, dropping out or delaying graduation from high school, violence and teen births. Oregon has the nation’s eighth-lowest infant mortal- ity rate, and has relatively low rates of teen births and violence against children. But its low high school grad- uation rates and compar- atively high rates of child malnutrition drive down the state’s overall ranking.

A report from Save the Children places Oregon 24th among states in terms of how its rural children are faring economically. About 21.6 percent of children in Oregon’s rural areas live in poverty, while 16.1 percent of children in Oregon’s urban areas were considered impoverished, according to the study. Nationally, 14.1 million, or 19.5 percent, of Ameri- can kids live in poverty, a rate that exceeds most other countries in the Organiza- tion for Economic Cooper- ation and Development, a 37-member group of nations with advanced economies. Researchers used data from the 2016 American Community Survey, pub- lished by the U.S. Census Bureau, to determine rural and urban poverty rates among kids. The Census Bureau defines the poverty threshold in 2016 as an annual income of $24,339 for a family of four with two children. In most states, rural child poverty is higher than pov- erty among children in urban areas, consistent with a decades-long trend in the U.S., the Save the Children study found. “Growing up in poverty is one of the greatest threats to healthy child development,” the study states. “When young children grow up in Hi 64 71 71 69 71 67 71 72 80 71 77 70 67 79 61 66 79 78 74 69 74 71 69 67 67 75 76 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 NATIONAL WEATHER TODAY Fri.
