Some experts are saying that there is plenty of gas in the U.S. It’s just the matter of rerouting and getting it to where it needs to be while the pipeline is being restored. Let’s be real, there is no shortage when it comes down to humor and laughing through a situation.
PENDLETON â Mental health issues and protections for family farms were some of the starter topics during a virtual town hall Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden held Sunday, May 2, for residents of Umatilla, Union and Wallowa counties. The Democrat broached the topic during the first question of the day, asked by Umatilla School District Superintendent Heidi Sipe, about federal support for students as the country rethinks ânearly every aspect of educationâ following the pandemic. Wyden addressed standardized testing, saying this year it seems best for teachers to address learning loss in the classroom rather than taking time out for standardized testing. He said schools will need additional funding to help students catch up after lost learning opportunities, and pointed out the American Rescue Plan includes funding for schools to do just that through summer learning opportunities and other strategies. He said he is also concerned about studentsâ mental health and wanted to see funding to adequately address those needs.
