be treated in Bend, said Councilman Victor Chudowsky. "It's an interesting thing," he said Thursday. "Until now we've heard basically nothing from the public ... which led us to believe everything was OK." Unhappy neighbors pushed back Wednesday, providing City Council with complaints about the proposed DiamondTREE dispensary. One, a proposed facility lies inside the 1,000foot buffer zone state law prescribes between marijuana dispensaries and schools. Another neighbor cautioned City Council to consider the "social and socio-economic" impact of what some-

Nearly a third of dropoutsare going to work By Danielle Douglas-Gabriel The Washington Post

WASHINGTON Teenagers drop out of high school for all sorts of reasons: lack of motivation, little support from parents, poor academic

performance. But for some low-income students, the decision to leave is purely economic. Many are going to work so they can start making money to help their families. Using data from the 2008-2012

American Community Survey, researchers at the Urban Institute found that nearly a third of the 563,000

teenage dropouts left school to work. These 16- to 18-year-olds were disproportionately male and Hispanic, and ended their education either at the beginning of high school or nearing the end.Roughly 75 percent ofthem are native-born Americans. See Dropouts /A4

18 to 24, who are more

interested in having experiences than owning things, are "most excited" about the

sharing economy. And of people PwC surveyed who are familiar with it, large majorities say the sharing economy makes life more affordable (86 percent) and more convenient (83 percent). Those qualities likely also have more to do with the growth of companies like Airbnb than the vague allure of "community." PwC does point out one
