Local family steps up
with shoe drive
UMATILLA — A Umatilla family
is hosting a shoe drive to raise money
for RettSyndrome.org.
Megan and Brandon Brown’s 3-year-
old daughter is impacted by the rare
syndrome and they are hoping to collect
300 pairs of shoes by October. All sizes
and styles of new or gently used shoes
can be donated. Megan Brown said the
effort raises money through the sale of
the shoes by “micro entrepreneurs” in
Third World countries.
Rett Syndrome is a rare neurologi-
cal disorder that is mostly diagnosed in
females. It impacts cognitive, sensory,
emotional, motor and autonomic func-
tions of the brain. It is sometimes misdi-
agnosed as autism, cerebral palsy or as a
non-specific developmental delay.
Shoe collection sites in the area
include Neighbor Dudes, 405 N. First
St., Hermiston; the Hermiston branch
of Banner Bank, 101 E. Main St.;
Peach Tree Produce, 81700 Peach Tree
Lane, Umatilla; and by contacting the
Browns at megan@pittraffic.com or

Climate change group to
discuss hemp production
PENDLETON — A discussion about
economic and climate justice opportu-
nities for Eastern Oregon in hemp pro-
duction is the topic for the upcoming 3rd
Tuesday Climate Conversation.
Joshua Walker, of the Eastern Ore-

speak Tuesday at noon at Prodigal Son
Brewery & Pub, 230 S.E. Court Ave.,

Walker graduated from the Uni-
versity of Washington with degrees in

tle University School of Law. He then
embarked on an 18-plus year career in
sales and business development.
After working for private and public
companies in information technology,
internet communications, and cyber
security, Walker changed gears again.
He has been researching and pursuing
sustainable and efficient crop produc-
tion for food, fuel, fiber, and medicine
in the form of hemp, as a path toward
addressing environmental and social
justice, as well as climate change issues.
EOC3, which meets monthly, seeks
