Planners: Anthony Raguine, Matt Martin, Zechariah Heck Re To: Commissioners Anthony DeBone, Phil Henderson, and Tammy Baney To: Deschutes County Planning Division Community Development Director, Nick Lelack, Planners: Anthony Raguine, Matt Martin, Zechariah Heck From: River Springs Estates Property Owners Association and Odin Falls Ranch HOA Re: Reference File#247-L8-000047-AD Date: February 3,20L8 We oppose approval of the proposed land use request of Cascades Estate Farms LLC to establish a commercial marijuana grow facility at 6829 NW 55th Street, Redmond, Oregon, We oppose this application for the following reasonsl . We fear for the physical and mental safety of our children and residents, many of whom are retired, We selected this community for its safe and healthy environment. o Criminal activity dealing with black market marijuana is on the rise in Oregon as stated inThe Oregonion, The Chicago Tribune and lhe Bend Bulletin ( SEE HIGHIIGHTED ATTACHMENTS) .. Security issues are of the greatest importance. Those involved in criminal activity and especially teens have easy access from BLM land to the proposed Marijuana Grow facility. Security is a concern to us whose properties lie adjacent and contiguous and to the Marijuana Grow Facility, According to the Bend Bulletin, this kind of facility gives 'fuel" to theft and criminal activity. o What are the security measures that are monitored? Security lights turned off from 7 pm to 7am when theft and criminal behavior are most prevalent are not good deterrents. We have children and families who want to walk our properties without fear of trespassers and thieves. o We fear for our safety. o lt is not a remote area as declared by the applicant. The greatest number of homes are not on 55th Street but on 69th street which is much closer to the proposed grow facility. There are 297 homes in Tetherow Crossing and 58 homes in the RSEPOA and Odin Fall Ranch HOAS. These homes and other residences surround and are contiguous to the proposed grow facility. o The area is not suited for this kind of commercial or agricultural use. No such use is in the surrounding area of family homes. lt is an incongruent use of property. Historically, the land was originally used for cattle and then subdivided for small non- commercial family homes with backyard hobby farms. o lt will reduce the value of homes surrounding the site and specifically the gated communities of Odin Falls Ranch and River Springs Estates. o The grow facility will, of necessity increase the use of privately owned roads not intended for heavy trucks,( water trucks, heavy farm equipment, commercial vehicles, transports etc.) r The roads this enterprise will use are privately owned and the maintenance is paid for by the surrounding HOAS and communities. There is no guarantee the Cascades Estate Farm is going to pay for an appropriate fair share of the wear and tear on the roads. o According to the regulations all residents on a privately owned road must be contacted personally to give approval for the use of business sponsored traffic. Has this been done? lf yes, please provide the documentation. o The addition of this Grow Facility's need for 15,000 extra gallons of water monthly from what is now an aquifer that is not able to meet the needs of the present residents for their household needs . This presents a very critical environmental situation. We have had wells go dry in this area as a result of people needing to deepen their wells. The applicant has requested permission to use his well . He, may need to dig a deeper well in order to have enough water for his commercial facility. Who will monitor the water draw- down? And What and who is the enforcement? r The value of our homes is at stake here. We all worked hard to create and maintain well-tended properties, so we can sell them, when feasible, for a fair market price. This marijuana facility with all its detriments to safety, peace and quiet and environmental issues willdefinitely not enhance the value of our property. o The county will lose tax revenues as our properties recede in value. r To test our belief that a marijuana growing facility in the midst of one's residential community would devalue our homes, please ask anyone hoping to buy a home in our area if this would cause them not to buy the home and/or ask for a great reduction in price. We, the HOAs and residents, would be happy to poll perspective buyers. r We asked our realtor his opinion, and he said yes, he feared it would be a detriment. o We are a suburban residential community with families. This is not an appropriate area to place a marijuana growing business. We understand the need for medical marijuana growing facilities. However, in a residentialfamily-oriented housing area it is not rational nor safe. o We did not carefully select and invest in our properties and their locations to have a commercial enterprise forced upon us. The time allotted for a rebuttal and the gathering of concerns as stated in the Notice of Application was ten days from January 26, a Friday. Our HOA President received this notice February 1. lf one adds in weekends and not receiving the notice until one week had already passed, we did not have the stated time allowed to gather our petition and our responses. Commissioners, we voted for you to care about our safety and the safety of our natural resources. We recognize that business enterprises are essential for our country to function. Many of us have owned or been emploVees of private businesses. We support private enterprise. The LOCAMN of this grow faciliW is the concern. lt is a misfit. Please do not approve of the proposed Marijuana Grow Facility at 6829 NW 66th Street, File # 247- 000047-AD. Let's put a moratorium on establishing such grow facilities until there is greater control of the production, sale and location requirements. lf not regulated wisely, it is a product that can bring crime and vlolence into our communities.

  • 275. – Part One
    275. – PART ONE 275. Clifford (1994) Okay, here’s the deal: I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but if you are anywhere near a television right now I need you to stop whatever it is that you’re doing and go watch “Clifford” on HBO Max. This is another film that has a 10% score on Rotten Tomatoes which just leads me to believe that all of the critics who were popular in the nineties didn’t have a single shred of humor in any of their non-existent funny bones. I loved this movie when I was seven, and I love it even more when I’m thirty-three. It’s genius. Martin Short (who at the time was forty-four) plays a ten-year-old hyperactive nightmare child from hell. I mean it, this kid might actually be the devil. He is straight up evil, conniving, manipulative and all-told probably causes no less than ten million dollars-worth of property damage. And, again, the plot is so simple – he just wants to go to Dinosaur World. There are so many comedy films with such complicated plots and motivations for their characters, but the simplistic genius of “Clifford” is just this – all this kid wants on the entire planet is to go to Dinosaur World. That’s it. The movie starts with him and his parents on an plane to Hawaii for a business trip, and Clifford knows that Dinosaur Land is in Los Angeles, therefore he causes so much of a ruckus that the plane has to make an emergency landing.

  • MIAMI UNIVERSITY the Graduate School Certification for Approving
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certification for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Stephen Hess Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ____________________________________ Director (Dr. Venelin Ganev) ____________________________________ Reader (Dr. Gulnaz Sharafutdinova) ____________________________________ Reader (Dr. Adeed Dawisha) ____________________________________ Graduate School Representative (Dr. Stanley Toops) ABSTRACT AUTHORITARIAN LANDSCAPES: STATE DECENTRALIZATION, POPULAR MOBILIZATION, AND THE INSTITUTIONAL SOURCES OF RESILIENCE IN NONDEMOCRACIES by Stephen Hess Beginning with the insight that highly-centralized state structures have historically provided a unifying target and fulcrum for the mobilization of contentious nationwide social movements, this dissertation investigates the hypothesis that decentralized state structures in authoritarian regimes impede the development of forms of popular contention sustained and coordinated on a national scale. As defined in this work, in a decentralized state, local officials assume greater discretionary control over public expenditures, authority over the implementation of government policies, and latitude in managing outbreaks of social unrest within their jurisdictions. As a result, they become the direct targets of most protests aimed at the state and the primary mediators of actions directed at third-party, non-state actors. A decentralized state therefore presents not one but a multitude of loci for protests, diminishing claimants‘ ability to use the central state as a unifying target and fulcrum for organizing national contentious movements. For this reason, decentralized autocracies are expected to face more fragmented popular oppositions and exhibit higher levels of durability than their more centralized counterparts. To examine this claim, I conduct four comparative case studies, organized into pairs of autocracies that share a common regime type but vary in terms of state decentralization.

    Understanding Siteswap Juggling Patterns A guide for the perplexed by Greg Phillips, [email protected] Core rules (for all patterns) Synchronous siteswap (simultaneous throws) C1 We imagine a metronome ticking at some constant rate. Some juggling patterns involve both hands throwing at the Each tick is called a “beat.” same time. We describe these using synchronous siteswap. C2 We indicate each thrown object by a number that tells us how many beats later that object must be back in a hand S1 The right and left hands throw at the same time (which and ready to re-throw. counts as two throws) on every second beat. We group C3 We indicate a sequence of throws by a string of numbers the simultaneous throws in parentheses and separate the (plus punctuation and the letter x). We imagine these hands with commas. strings repeat indefinitely, making 531 equivalent to S2 We indicate throws that cross from hand to hand with an …531531531… So are 315 and 153 — can you see x (for ‘xing’). why? C4 The sum of all throw numbers in a siteswap string divided Rules C2 and S1 taken together demand that there be only by the number of throws in the string gives the number of even numbers in valid synchronous siteswaps. Can you see objects in the pattern. This must always be a whole why? The x notation of rule S2 is required to distinguish number. 531 is a three-ball pattern, since (5+3+1)/3 patterns like (4,4) (synchronous fountain) from (4x,4x) equals three; however, 532 cannot be juggled since (synchronous crossing).
