Wallowa County Chieftain News wallowa.com April 5, 2017 A9 Gov. Brown announces plan to house vets Measure 96 funds will be used to end veterans’ homelessness Governor Kate Brown met with Oregon veteran commu- nity leaders during a recent visit to the Lebanon Veterans’ Home and called on the Leg- islature to support additional investments in veteran ser- vices and to provide a home for every veteran in Oregon. Speaking to residents, staff, and veterans’ advo- cates at the Lebanon Veter- ans’ Home, Governor Brown announced that a better than expected revenue forecast by the Offi ce of Economic Anal- ysis reported an additional $200 million in state revenue, decreasing the budget gap in the next biennium from $1.8 billion to $1.6 billion. With that increase in revenue and veteran’s community strong advocacy, Brown supports using gen- eral fund money for current veteran services and ensuring that new Measure 96 lottery funds be focused on expand- ing services for veterans. “With these additional re- sources, I am calling for fur- ther investments in veteran services and a focused initia- tive to end veterans’ home- lessness in Oregon,” Brown said. Brown also last week di- rected the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs and Ore- gon Housing and Community Services to combine forces and work with front line part- ners to marshal state, federal, and local resources with non- profi ts, faith-based organiza- tions, and others to expand veterans’ housing.

No, not tape recorders –– we’re talking those musical instru- ments you fi rst learned tunes on in grade school. These recorders, however, are much better than the plas- tic ones you played at school. The ensemble of Denise Hat- tan, Dave Felley, Beth Gilm- ore, Cynthia Seaney and Nancy Ames play four different types of recorders: bass, alto tenor and soprano. Their group is called Prevailing Winds En- semble and they’ll be perform- ing at the Grande Ronde Sym- phony Association’s Chamber Concert April 15. Also performing will be Saxiphobia Northeast. That group is made up of Elburn Cooper on soprano sax; Donna Evans on tenor sax; Keith Van Vickle on alto sax; and Russ Hunt on baritone sax. The saxophone group will play music from the rare saxo- phone music library of Elburn Cooper and will feature com- posers from Bach to Berlin to Gershwin to lesser-knowns from more modern times. Doors open for the event at 6:45 p.m. with music starting at 7:30 p.m. at 86 Hawthorne Drive in La Grande. The per- formance is titled “An Evening with Sax and Winds.” Refresh- ments will be available. Season chamber concert pass holders get in by fl ashing BARGAINS OF THE MONTH ® While supplies last.
