WASHINGTON Thirty members of the Oregon National Guard, mainly military police, leave Friday for Washington D.C. to help with security for Joe Biden s presidential inauguration.
The 1186th Military Police Company has been to D.C. for many inaugurations.
Sgt. Alicha Smoot will lead a squad as they guard the U.S. Capitol building. She does not think this mission will be all that different from years past.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KGW) Thirty members of the Oregon National Guard, mainly military police, leave Friday for Washington D.C. to help with security for Joe Biden s presidential inauguration.
The 1186th Military Police Company has been to D.C. for many inaugurations.
Sgt. Alicha Smoot will lead a squad as they guard the U.S. Capitol building. She does not think this mission will be all that different from years past.
“I mean, we’re trained to respond to volumes of crowds – be able to maintain safety for everyone, if its individuals in the crowd or our fellow agencies we’re gonna be working with, Smoot said. And I don’t think the mission is going to change with past or recent events.

ONTARIO
Since voters overturned the city of Ontarioâs ban on recreational marijuana dispensaries in 2018, and the first one opened its doors in June of 2019, a total of seven dispensaries have established, two are on the way and there will be limits on how many more can open after that.
The most recent dispensary to get the required licenses from both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and the city is The Bud House on the corner of Northeast Second Street and Northeast First Avenue.
Once a dispensary opens in an area that meets all required 1,000 foot buffers from schoolâs and other dispensaries, it limits the area in which another dispensary can open within the city limits, which includes Ontarioâs urban growth area.
