The Elgin City Council voted to take down a stop sign and erect a yield sign on 10th Street to alleviate some complaints by community members at last night's meeting.

SALEM — Oregon lawmakers on Tuesday advanced a proposal aimed at closing a loophole in state privacy laws that recently let a man go unpunished after he took photographs up a teenager's skirt. The state Senate unanimously passed the bill, which would make it a misdemeanor to surreptitiously take photos up women's dresses without their consent. A teachers union proposed the measure after a student took so-called upskirt cellphone photos of an educator and shared them online. The Senate vote came three months after an Oregonjudge ruled a 61-year-old man did nothing illegal when he snapped photos up a teen'sskirtin a Targetstore. ''You've probably seen in the news reports that currently the tactic of what's known as upskirting is not covered for various reasons," saidSen.Floyd Prozanksi,a Eugene Democrat.'This bill will, in fact, cover the infractions, the conduct and hold people accountable for that."

By Cherise Kaechele The Observer

Chris Holmgren, owner of Elgin's new gun manufacturingbusiness, Calico Light Weapons Systems, has two Chapter 13 bankruptcies that followed him from Washington County where he owned two similar businesses. Calico Weapons moved to Union County &om Cornelius in 2014. Holmgren said in a previous interview that residents in that area west of Portland didn't appreciate what his company manufactures.

$56,000 in back taxes for Calico Weapons for the years 2007 through 2013, and nearly $600 &om another gun manufacturing business he owned, Dual Smoking Gunns, that has been dissolved. Dual Smoking Gunns was located in Beaverton. Under Chapter 13, a company is able to reorganize its debt and make payments against its back taxes with interest added to the total amount

due. Both Elgin Mayor Allan DufFy and CityAdministrator Brock Eckstein said they did not know about Holmgren's bankruptcies. "I don't think that changes any business relationship they have with us," Eckstein said."We're happy to have them. It's not really our business to know that." Belt said Holmgren filed the bankruptcies himself and has set up a payment plan. She said payments were recei ved in February andApril, but that Holmgren missed a payment in Marchand another due May 15. Holmgren is being represented by Michael O'Brien, an attorney from Clackamas. O'Brien declined to comment because he could not reach Holmgren to get permission to speak publicly about the situation.

Despite Elgin's excitement for the business, the company has an'F" rating on the Better Business Bureau website with 18 complaints lodged against it in the last three years. Twelve of the complaints cite delivery issues and six involve problems with the product or service. Holmgren bought Calico Weapons in 2006. Holmgren decided to move its world headquarters to Elgin because of the region's dislike for his gun manufacturing company, he said in a previous interview. He said he was looking forward to moving to a more "region &iendly" area like Elgin. Contact CheriseKaedrele at 541-7S64234or dcaechele@lagrandeobserver. com.Follow Cherise onTwitter @/goKaeche/e.

When Oregon is a lock to be in an NCAA Regional, the Ducks hold a public watch party at a local restaurant. On Monday morning, it was a private viewing with the coaches in George Horton's office and the players in the clubhouse. "I didn't have the courage I guess to be watching with them," Horton said. ARer falling to 28-22 earlier this month and well ofF the tournament bubble, the Ducks won nine of their last 10 games to get back into contention for the postseason, a run that concluded with back-to-back extrainning wins over Pac-12 Conference champion UCLA. Yet on Sunday night, one prominent college baseball website still had Oregon as the last team out of the 64team field. "We were definitely anxious, it was hard to sleep last night because you never know,"juniorfi rstbaseman Scott Heineman said.'That made us a little nervous, but we were confident. We felt like we put ourselves in a

good position." Just nine minutes into the hour-long television broadcast to unveil the bracket,

the 37-23 Ducks popped on the screen as a No. 3 seed

in the Springfield (Mo.) Regional.

TRAGK Continued from Page 8A made the podiumin three events: the javelin, highjump and triplejump. Union's girls won a state title in Class 2A and brings back the majority of its team next spring. Elizabeth Herbes throws herself into each race and runs with a football or boxing mindset where she literally attacks the track. The junior won the 200 and finished in the top-three in four events. Junior Elly Wells resembles the Energizer Bunny — she just keeps going and going, never appearing to tire. She took second in the 3,000. On the boys side for the Bobcats, Trevor Verhelst will be back for his senior season aker a spectacular weekend in Eugene while leading Union to a second-place finish in Class 2A.Verhelst won the 400, and took second in the 100 and 200 while running on the second-place 4-by400 relay team.

"It was like we had just won against UCLA in walkofF fashion, we just went nuts, everyone hugging each other," Oregon pitcher Cole Irvin said."It was a great feeling, just fun. Not knowing if we would get in or not was difficult because you are fighting for your life for the pastfi veor six weeks and we did our part. That the committee felt we deserved a regional bid was nice." Oregon was the second-tolastteam toearn an at-large bid from the committee

Iowa (39-16) is making its first postseason appearance since 1990 after finishing second in the Big 10 at 19-5. The Hawkeyes were on track to host a regional until losing four of their final six. Iowa is hitting.273 as a team, led by Tyler Peyton at.352. Eric Toole and Jake Mangler are batting .309 and.303, respectively. All three starling pitchers have an ERA under 3.20 led by Calvin Mathews at 5-3 with

headed by Central Michigan athletic director Dave Heeke, a former Oregon senior associate athletic director. UCLA is the No. 1 overall seed even after Oregon beat the Bruins with a walk-ofFsingle in the 11th inning on Saturday and Sunday. 'There is not much doubt in my mind that if we had not won Sunday, we weren't in," Horton said. The Ducks are in a regional for the fourth year in a row and the for fifth time in seven seasons since reinstating the program in 2009. sWe're obviously excited," third baseman Mitchell Tolman said."I felt like we've worked pretty hard the last month or so.

ANIMAL WELFARE

NEWYORK — Wal-Mart's push to get its suppliers to give farm animals fewer antibiotics and more room to roam is expected to have a big impact on the food industry, experts say. Though thesteps arevoluntary, Wal-Mart, which sells more food than any other store, has a history of using its retail muscle to change the way products are made and sold across the retail industry. Wal-Mart told The Associated Press that it's asking meat producers, eggs suppliers and others to use antibiotics only for disease prevention or treatment, not to fatten their animals, a common industry practice. The guidelines also aim to get suppliers to stop using pig gestation crates and other housing that doesn't give animalsenough space.They're alsobeing asked to avoid painful procedures like de-horning or castration without proper painkillers. Other major companies, including M cDonald's Corp.,Nestle and Star-

bucks Corp., have already pledged to reduce or eliminate the use of gestation crates for pregnant sows and otherwise improve animal treatment. But activists hailed Wal-Mart's steps and said its guidelines would be one of the most sweeping and could become the blueprint for the food industry. Concerns are growing that antibiotic
