Knute Bue- hler have failed to cinch the Independent Party of Oregon nomination for governor. The nomination went to Brownsville cabinetmaker Patrick Starnes, the only candidate listed as an IPO gubernatorial candidate in the voters’ pamphlet. Starnes said his pri- mary victory was a rebel- ond with about 25 percent, while Brown secured just 12.5 percent. “The number of write- ins that Brown and Buehler attempted to get to win cross nomination shows that they saw the importance of it, and the fact that Buehler was as close as he was is quite an achievement,” said Rob Harris, a co-chairperson of the IPO council. “Even though Starnes won the nomination, the tallies between Brown and Buehler indicate that Brown 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low NATIONAL CITIES Albuquerque Atlanta Atlantic City Baltimore Billings Birmingham Boise Boston Charleston, SC Charleston, WV Chicago Cleveland Dallas Denver Detroit El Paso Fairbanks Fargo Honolulu Houston Indianapolis Jacksonville Kansas City Las Vegas Little Rock Los Angeles Hi 89 90 75 80 62 89 77 66 90 85 88 81 96 92 83 97 62 85 87 93 89 90 94 102 94 77 Lo 70 73 59 57 51 71 54 60 74 59 75 64 77 61 67 74 45 64 74 75 69 73 75 78 73 61 W pc t s s pc t pc c t s pc pc s pc pc pc pc pc pc t pc t s pc s pc Sat.

Even then, risk remains as banks face a range of compliance rules by accept- ing marijuana-linked money. The Bank Secrecy Act requires that banks know their customers well enough to ensure they are not engag- ing in money laundering, said Julie A.

The Mountain West Credit Union Association and the Maine Credit Union League said in a joint state- ment that the legislation would “provide the certainty we need ... to service this growing industry.” The measure, which faces an uncertain future in Congress, does not legalize marijuana nationally. But it takes steps to allow banks to handle marijuana funds without the risk of federal prosecution.

The shortage of bank- ing services has been a major obstacle to the indus- try, often forcing businesses to conduct sales and pay vendors and taxes in cash, sometimes in vast amounts that can become targets for criminals.

Marijuana is legal in some form in about 30 states, but companies that grow or sell it often are locked out at banks. Their money isn’t wanted because the drug is illegal under federal law and transactions tied to pot pro- ceeds could expose financial institutions to money-laun- dering charges. The bipartisan measure — which received tentative support from President Don- ald Trump — would ensure states have the right to deter- mine the best approach to marijuana, without federal interference. It also includes language intended to address the banking gap caused by the federal ban. The legislation has been praised as a strong step, but “standing alone, it’s likely not a silver bullet for the banking problem,” said Cal- ifornia pot industry attorney Nicole Howell Neubert, a member of a state task force -0s has a lot of work to do with I voters.” While the IPO makes up less than 5 percent of Ore- gon voters, some, includ- ing Harris, believe the par- ty’s voting behavior serves as a bellwether of the state’s second-largest voting bloc — those who are registered with no political party. The group, also referred to as nonaffiliated or indepen- dents with a lowercase “i,” consist of more than 836,000 electors and rank second in number only to Democrats.

Lindy Farr, of Red- mond, died Wednesday, the Deschutes County Health Department officials confirmed. The 67-year-old Farr was admitted June 7 to the ICU at St. Charles Redmond after she was experiencing trouble staying awake. She was placed on a ventilator Saturday, then airlifted to Oregon Health & Sciences University in Portland on Sunday, where she died, The Bend Bulletin reported. “She was in good health,” said Farr’s neigh- bor and friend, Sheila Hart. “You would have never in a million years thought she would have been gone in a week.” About 35 percent of those infected will die from the disease, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hantavirus exposure usu- ally occurs after breathing in the virus when rodent urine and droppings are stirred up into the air, according to health officials. People also can become infected when they touch mouse or rat urine, droppings, or nesting materials that contain the virus, and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth. The disease is not spread from person to person. “A lot of times it will happen after an area has been closed up for a while, a summer home or a barn, something like that,” Heather Kaisner said, a spokeswoman for the health department. They go in and they do spring cleaning, and there are mice droppings everywhere.” Farr and her husband lived in Redmond but also maintained a home in Cul- ver. Farr had traveled there before Memorial Day, Hunt said. The case is the 23rd han- tavirus infection in Oregon since 1993. Corrections The address for Pendleton Art + Frame is 36 S.W.
