I've visited several dispensaries recently and I agree, they're long on schwag and short on knowledge. One answer is to secure a good grower. They're out there. Oddly, many folks think growers are dripping with money. Perhaps some are but most growers are barely making it pay. I grow medical grade, sun grown cannabis for my own use and for two others who are quite ill and physically unable to participate. We produce one crop annually that fills the jars for the coming year. My patients contribute financially to offset the fixed costs of stock acquisition, soil, amendments, propagation, water, labor, drying, curing, weighing, etc.  It's production farming so I recommend getting as close to the source as possible and avoid the dispensary blues.

04/24/11--19 year-old Ashley Bashore ran down Hubert Tunuchuk and fled, leaving him to die.  She was charged with "failing to render assistance" (!) and sentenced to 18 months.  Do blondes have more fun?  They apparently get away with vehicular manslaughter of Yup'ik people!

02/06/13--17 year-old Murphy Gross got high, stole daddy's SUV and T-boned another car, killing young mother of two Catherine Cope.  He got 8 months--the Judge felt he could be 'rehabilitated'.  Translation, he was white and Cope wasn't.

07/19/14--17 year-old drunk driver Alexandra Ellis ran down 51 year-old bicyclist Jeff Dusenbury, killed him and fled.  The victim was white this time, but so was Ellis' daddy.  And he was a well-connected lawyer.  She got a year.

03/12/16--26 year-old Native man Arnold Demboski, driving a snowmobile drunk, struck and killed a DOG. The Magistrate characterized his actions as '...an act of terrorism," a potentially capital crime.

THIS is why we need fewer white judges.

Health care is not a free market and never will be.  Free markets, by definition, have transparent pricing and the consumer has a choice to buy / not buy.  If you have a serious illness, the choice of buy / not buy health care isn't a viable option.  And when was the last time you saw any medical provider post the cost of their services upfront for comparison shopping?

I am sorry Craig. There's no point for you to come. They'll shoot the very last one soon enough, so it's not worth planning. I would forget about Denali. However, it's probably best because the natives, the new natives, sound rather hostile and they might be liable to shoot you too. They'd shoot anything that crawls, slithers, or walks on two or all four on this God's good earth.  Yes, sadly, the wolves stories will end here.

Denali will become a different kind of wildlife attraction for tourists, and more of them, as I understand.

Cheers.

What BS!!  If there are crimes involved, get on with the trial.  There will eventually be civil lawsuits, so get on with them asap.  The people who had damage to their properties are already getting screwed by the borough as far as valuations (and therefore, taxes) are concerned.  Now it appears as if the State is going to mess with these people, too, by lessening the crimes and punishments these irresponsible idiots committed.  Disgusting!  So much for the State watching out for innocent citizens!

This is not a headline.  This says five years; Obama ran eight years ago saying he was going to 'fix' the VA

The Arizona Republic
 " Investigators from the Office of Inspector General found that, as of September 2014, the Veterans Health Administration had about 867,000 pending applications from prospective patients. They were unable to break down those numbers due to “serious data limitations” but estimated that three-quarters of them were created more than five years ago and therefore inactive. The report says more than half of the enrollment forms did not even have application dates.

More significantly, about 307,000 enrollment records -- more than a third of those backlogged -- were from veterans who are listed as dead by the Social Security Administration. That is more than six times the number estimated by Miller. However, according to inspectors, data was so unreliable they could not tell how many of those applicants had sought medical care, or verify dates for their deaths."

I agree with the writer's assessment of the sad state of current affairs.

Politics is a bloodsport.

Alaska Governor Bill Walker won with the support of the general population. He promoted a fiscal plan that fairly spread the pain of the fiscal crisis.  He wrote it in pencil. He solicited input.  He marched it around the state.  He got broad public support.  The cornerstone of his plan is fairness.  I know this first hand; I spoke to him about it myself.

Then, the Body, which created the fiscal mess, comes back with SB128- putting the fiscal burden on every man, woman, and CHILD in the state. PFD reform is not a good stand alone answer. The public will not abide a PFD raid; perceived or real!

To make matters worse, the Governor applauds the enemy when he needs to go right back for support to his strongest constituency, the general public and demand a better fiscal plan.

This constitutes a sad political strategy to shift the blame from the GOP, to the governor.

Yeah I don't think borrowing money w a very bleak economic outlook for the city ,and state is a good Idea. Stop spending money, and don't raise taxes on oil companies they will invest somewhere else. If you don't the change in oil prices will be more painful than necessary. when you have a market based mostly on oil every time it goes up you raise your  budget then when it goes down you need to reduce your budget. It's like the guy who's house goes up in value but instead of being happy they have equity they borrow the new amount then when it goes down they cry about still owing more than they can sell for. Whe the economy does good you save some because the markets will always have ups and downs. also now OPEC has competition these low oil prices  may be some what permanent. Raising oil tax equals less oil production. The state legislature is being sued, and evicted out of it's building in anchorage thats the level of competence you are dealing w.

I have a lot of experience with GOP family and co-workers. I can even bring up an idea or a proposal, and they may be for or against it on the basis of the information involved. Once I tell them the GOP supported or was against it, they strangely go against their initial assessment, and fall in line with the GOP party line. Ledbetter Act, allowing women to sue for pay discrimination based on gender, not 180 days from the 1st offending paycheck(like SCOTUS decided), but 180 days from the time the woman first learned of the discriminatory lower pay. My conservative relatives liked that, and thought it fair--until they found out the GOP opposed it. Then they were firmly against it. Wiretapping under Bush? Not a problem! Same program under Obama? Invasion of their privacy! I see the lockstep attitude much more in the GOP ranks. Sure, some exist in Dem ranks, but it is far more prevalent in my experience with GOP voters.

Yes, that is the review process we go through to comment. The three comments we see are determined by random chance, not by topic, author of the comment, or social psychology. The idea is you take a step back, look at some other random comment in another thread (with a click available to catch context), and rate that one as civil, or not. 

I don't know about social engineering, that may be a bit too grandiose. I think of it as all of us pitching in to moderate, instead of depending on one person, or some software to screen words and phrases. We each spend our 10 second, and the system works better. I hope.

Commenters, please, the comments here as I write this are as funny, collectively,  as the average Saturday Night Live comedy skit. Have you seen Mr. Trump on television, ever? Have you read any of his interviews? 

Why is it that people who like his candidacy seem to ignore what he actually says? Normally in politics the supporters believe the politicians, and the rest of the world doesn't. In this case, we have the oddity of swarms of supporters who clearly don't believe that their own candidate means what he says.  And the rest of us do. 

And a special comedy award to the idea that objecting to his bigotry makes a person a bigot.

Governor Walker is new on the block and yet he has proposed a solution to our fiscal problems.  He barred his teeth to the legislative leadership today when he "unsheathed" the veto pen regarding the LIO purchase.   Those facts and that gesture are creating political credibility with Alaskans.  The old war horses who created this disaster just kept putting duct tape over the warning lights so as not to be bothered.  For example, they did nothing between sessions to address this fiscal dilemma.   As long as the CBR remains they will not be bothered.   Oh, they may feign concern and take actions to  perhaps reduce future expenditures ; however, nothing I have seen has eroded my faith in the prediction of Lyman Hoffman who stated last spring that they will do nothing this year to put our fiscal house in order and won't until after the election and then after the savings are drained.

The fact that we even have knowledge of a world with this many attacks is unique in history.    As efffective in creating terror that their name imply's, those are not incidents of global wars between any of the superpowers.

That doesn't mean there aren't exceptions of course Motley.     But I've watched young people in my circle of friends/family travel to Laos, Vietnam, Combodia and they traveled with other young people from other parts of the world.

Most Alaskan oil & gas experts & leaders testified to the Legislature; Do Not Pass HB 247! 

It kills the oil industry and shuts TAPS down with 90% of the state's income and all the PFD income!
 
Oil Price will go up next year! The Saudi oil glut will pass but taxing the state oil workers out of business and keeping oil and gas investment out will ruin Alaska under SB 130 (tax oil workers to death), HB 247 ( tax oil investors out of Alaska for decades)!!

The solution is clear: don't panic and use the $ 10 Billion in the Constitutional Reserve to pay the prepared Capital Budget and do no harm, next year oil prices may increase and all will be well.

If not Alaska will still have over $ 6 Billion in Constitutional Budget Reserve to pay the next year's Capital Budget! 

With $ 3 Billion left over for the following year! 

It is wrong to pass HB 250, it takes Alaskans money & HB 245 takes the Permanent fund so Government can better pay themselves at the people's expense!

Use the savings!

My cousin worked for many years as a special education teacher in a small Oregon district.  He finally left because he was, most of the time, the district's only qualified special-ed person.  There was often no support or alternate ways to meet the needs of students.  He was asked to do more than he could do.  

I also see this issue through my service on the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission, where we consider both requirements for special ed teachers and, sometimes, the consequences when teachers are asked to do more than they can do.

What matters is not what the law requires, because the law is an abstraction.  What matters is what people are capable of doing on the ground.   Governments will get the results that are possible, not the results that are theoretically correct.  

If the government's reaction to unmanageable situations is to issue orders that cannot be obeyed, it is time to revisit the underlying issues and how society has chosen to resolve them.

Mr .Gerson has said a lot of words bemoaning the fact that Trump isn't a conservative and telling us what a conservative isn't.  

What he has failed to define is what those 'conservative ideals' are that are apparently being ignored by those who hold them and why voters should support them.  

"Conservative" is like "Socialist"; meanings vary from person to person.  

Social conservatism is different than fiscal conservatism, for example.  Which brand of 'conservatism' did Gerson espouse when he worked for George W?   Why did the voters throw Brother Jeb Bush under the bus?

If fatigue is the primary symptom, its important to rule out Sleep Apnea as a possible cause. I was once given a clinical diagnosis of Lyme and the treatments didn't do anything to my symptoms. A long story short, it turned out that the problem was nothing more than Sleep Apnea. Unfortunately, the Lyme doctor, along with several other medical practitioners including naturopaths, allopaths, cardiologists and an endocrinologist even considered or mentioned it. It stayed under their radar. 

A friend of mine who thought he had Lyme asked his doctor about Sleep Apnea and the doctor said to him "Oh you don't look like you have Sleep Apnea" which is like saying "Oh you don't look like you have Type O Blood." Totally incorrect. Sleep Apnea can be only diagnosed with a Sleep Study and its worth getting if only to rule it out as a causative factor. Turned out my friend has severe Sleep Apnea and using a CPAP machine has given him his life back. 

Same with me. I doubt if I ever had Lyme!

You must be joshing! And then there's that word "deserve" again. By what logic or evidence does every worker "deserve" a $15.00 per hour wage? Some workers "deserve" to be fired because they lack the traits necessary to keep their jobs and fulfill their part of the labor/owner/management contract. Until these sorts can resolve their problems that lead to their chronic unemployment, they "deserve" nothing beyond perhaps a hand up in becoming functional employees.

Don't forget to watch this tonight (4-14-16) at 6:30pm on KTUU.
Alaska Gov. Bill Walker will deliver a 15-minute “state of the budget” speech on KTUU Channel 2 on Thursday evening.
Walker’s speech, at 6:30 p.m., will be followed by two five-minute responses — one from a member of the Legislature’s Republican-led majorities and another from a member of the Democratic-led minorities.

The Carousel is a dump.  I recently went there on a Sat. night with a date only to be the only patrons there. The owner instantly started up the fryer in the kitchen and blew the nasty stench all around the place in an effort to get us to order food.  Just nasty.......we left.

ME --- Utter nonsense. Under 2% of Oregon is urbanized

Saynt----"Whether we grow up or out, we cannot do so indefinitely into the future.
ME -- Why not? In case you haven't heard, the Earth's fertility rate has been declining for almost 1/2 century. OF course the sleazy green money grubbers don't want you to know this because the need to scare you into sending them money to pretend to solve the (non-)problem.

Furthermore, growth is highly subsidized by taxpayers, and yet it never pays for itself. See: http://www.fodorandassociates.com/rpts_and_pubs.htm
ME Somehow we grew for 150 years without bankruptcy. So this is more bull crap from the anti-growth zealots. Next you'll try to convence us that we should get out of $0.25/passenger-mile cars for $1.00 per mile buses or $1.60 per passenger-mile toy trains. http://www.debunkingportland.com/top10bus.html

The writer shouldn't feel too sorry for Chile because they turned against their home-grown socialist problem in the 1970s, rather than become another technological and economic backwater like Cuba.  Today Chile is arguably one of the best-run countries in the western hemisphere, economically and politically.  Arguably they are even more 'progressive' than the USA - after all, they have already elected a woman president!  ;-)

Chile is not a 'third-world' country by any stretch of the imagination, despite what the writer of this letter implies.

Why is it anyone else's fault you make $10 an hour? You chose that career path, don't take it out on people like Richard. He paid for health insurance while he was employed, and those payments guaranteed he'd also have coverage whenever he retired. That's not free, that coverage was paid for. You're obviously jealous someone else planned ahead for their future and are now reaping what they sow.  Of course Richard would be satisfied with his cushy life, he worked for it! The point you are missing is there *are* people who literally sit and do nothing; saw it with my own eyes as a volunteer working with a family and the single mom with 3 kids completely lived off the government for years. What did she do with her time? Played video and computer games all day. No joke.

Hi DC,

Regarding this quote:  “Oregon’s long flirtation with exclusion laws had finally ended. But while the exclusion laws were rarely enforced, the tragic legacy of the laws was that they discouraged blacks from coming at all.” p. 171  What evidence does Nokes present that "... the tragic legacy of the laws was that they discouraged blacks from coming at all.”  Opinion is fine but opinion as fact is disingenuous.

I think the Mims Memorial is a great idea and a great addition to Eugene.  If Eugene was smart, the city would develop a self guided walking tour that is sort of like a scavenger hunt where the strollers/walkers move from site to site.  My wife and I have seen and done these in other cities, Asheville, NC has a particularly fun and interesting one.  If you are ever for it, walk the solar system in Eugene.  Make sure you touch each and every planet, to include the sun.

in other words they knew Oregon voters would kill $15 an hour minimum wage, and pushed through this stupidity while they could.
 I am disabled and unemployable. federal laws suspends the minimum wage law and restores my right to negotiate my own wage for the work I render. I can legally work for less than the minimum wage so that I can attain employment as is my right. What this profound stupidity has done is kill trickle up economics 101, and is going to force people to work under the table illegally in order to gain employment. This is not equal rights and equal opportunity. Jobs that once provided priceless opportunity to attain skills and experience needed to attain better paying jobs now require skills and experience to attain. Once again democrats are stripping citizens of our rights to expand the liberal plantation.

Did anyone notice the slant to the left in the story? The Legislator is asked several times to justify the bill as if he's committing a crime. Those who oppose the bill are made to look like victims. No substantive reasearch on automatic pay raises, why should we be giving pay raises to Public employees while private sector is laying people off by the hundreds. Never ask unions to justify the pay raises. Why? Because the Reporters are from the far left over there at the Dispatch just like at the Former, Daily News.
Output: No
Many Eugene businesses quietly produce product, pay their employees, and contribute to the local community.  We never hear about them.  The RG ignores them.  What is it that the software companies want?  Is it just their egos that they want to inflate with coverage?  Would be nice to learn how much the heavily hyped software companies contribute as a percentage of the total local economic activity.  I suspect it is very small.  The new Avago semiconductor plant expected in the near future will likely by itself dwarf the contributions of the software industry, but we hear so little about them.

Mea culpa on the comment relating to a move from an area near the tracks to the South Hills.  It was an unnecessary little anti-elitist "dig" and I apologize.  I do realize a lot of the folks in the South Hills have had their homes for decades and bought them for a mere fraction of what they're worth now.  Of course all that increased value does is impact your property taxes (up to the time of Measure 5).  Our little farm is worth about 20 times what we paid for it in 1971.  That's a "so what" unless we're willing to "sell out the farm."  Like those many folks in the South Hills, we're not ready to do that.

Craig Medred needs to find an honest job instead of impassioning people state wide against this individual.  This kind of garbage does nothing to help prevent domestic violence it only helps perpetuate it.  Pushing offenders into the dark, slaughtering their name state wide, gives them no incentive to seek help.  It only further hurts and enrages.

I am a stand me up at the gates of hell, won't back down type myself.   but there are some real ugly consequences to splitting that dem vote.  personally, I think Bernie is savvy and classy enough to not push the issue as did nader.  he also can see the writing on the wall.  nader was....a sick man.  he had had some significant strokes and he wasn't himself.  he would have never put himself before a ...what seemed like a personal agenda.  Bernie is much bigger than that.  if he gets the nomination, hot diggity - I will sing his praises. but if he doesn't , please don't nader us.

The people following Sanders are all the ones expecting a handout.. Free school,  free health care,  free insurance.. THESE folks are the reason Alaska is turning into a welfare state.  NO ONE WANTS TO WORK. Sanders is so old,  he's older than Reagan when he took office.  These people think he's going to make women make the same income  as men.  I'm a woman.  This is A LIE.  That will never happen and your silly for thinking that can.  Your SKILL defines your wage people.  Grow up.  It infuriates me to share this state with people like this.  It's truly sleeping with the enemy.  I work my ass off.... And it's NOT TOO GIVE YOU MORE FREE stuff.  The editor commented the immigrants are all dressed nicely.  Of course they are!  They are scared because when TRUMP takes office and cleans house things will be getting back to the America people remember!!!  Not this force everything down the working man's throat because of your GREED.  Disgusting.

Patricia Blair: Instead of coming across as an insensitive hater, try tapping into the Aloha Spirit & have some empathy.

Public servants, especially on the Congressional level are saturated with many problems, cares & concerns. I would venture to say that it is quite a demanding job, especially for those who serve from Hawaii, having to travel all the way to D.C.

Mark Takai made a promise to his constituents & to the State of Hawaii to serve his term. He is keeping his promise. Many politicians who get voted into office, find a better opportunity, bails out of the office BEFORE their term ends. Then the public is outraged, for lack of commitment.

So, even in the face of a life threatening illness. Mark could step down, but then we the taxpayers would have to foot the bill for the special election!

Furthermore, what specific votes did Mark miss? We're those votes crucial for Hawaii? How many votes that had something to do with Hawaii did Mark miss?

HAMAU! (Peace be still!) Aloha!

I fail to see how this restaurant is celebrating colonial rule. Yes, the name of the restaurant and some of the items on the menu reference colonial rule. However, where does it say they are celebrating it? For example, a Holocaust museum does not celebrate the Holocaust because it contains the name in its title. Nor does it celebrate the Holocaust because it is full of pictures of gas chambers and emaciated bodies. The museum does, however, act as a point of remembrance and history. No doubt, children visit the museum and find out about the Holocaust for the first time. How many kids know about colonialism? Maybe they can learn by going to places like this restaurant/cafe.

I fail to see how the owner is celebrating or embracing colonialism. It happened and we should NEVER forget, the events shouldn’t be forgotten about and swept under the carpet.

Finally, if you don’t like it, don’t go. There are much more important things to worry about. Donald Trump, for one.

It's probably due to our newest industry:  cannabis cultivation.  There is so much money to be made in marijuana that a lot of young people have stopped looking for traditional jobs and probably aren't that interested in unemployment benefits.  There is a lot of money to be made trimming buds and it's a job you can do at home in your spare time.  Marijuana, IMHO, is also the reason that Oregon has become the most moved to state in America.  Marijuana, legal and black market, will stimulate a lot of local spending.
