Despite robust write-in
campaigns, Gov. Kate
Brown and Rep. 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

Proposed U.S. banking fix for
marijuana may not open all doors
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
A proposal in Congress to
ease the U.S. ban on mari-
juana could encourage more
banks to do business with
cannabis companies, but
it appears to fall short of a
cure-all for an industry that
must operate mainly as a
cash business in a credit card
world.
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

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.

Redmond woman
dies from hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome
REDMOND (AP) —
An Oregon woman has died
from hantavirus pulmonary
syndrome, a disease trans-
mitted through rodent drop-
pings, health officials said.
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.
