Hogan, who suffers from

It broke her heart, she
said, to see how people
treated Cheryl.

Of the News-Register
Radical reforms have
taken place at the Yamhill
County Juvenile Corrections Division’s detention
facility in McMinnville:
It’s youthful inmates are
now being allowed to lean
against its walls.
That may not seem like
a radical departure from
past practices. However, in
a facility known throughout the region for its tough,
unyielding attitude toward
incarcerated kids, it represents a sharp break from
policy that has held sway
since the place was built
in 1996.
Scott Paasch, manager
of the Juvenile Corrections
‘We want kids staying alert and prepared
during the day. It helps them go to sleep
at night.’
Scott Paasch
Manager of Juvenile Corrections Division
Division, said intense
deliberation led to the
change.
Leaning represents worrisome behavior to him,
he said. If you have time
to lean, you have time to
dream.
“We want kids staying
alert and prepared during
the day,” Paasch said. “It
helps them go to sleep at
night.”
Still, provided that the
new-found freedom to lean
doesn’t get out of hand,
Paasch said he and his
staff are willing to risk the
danger of the occasional
unscheduled nap.
Many authorities like
Yamhill County’s tough
reputation for the handling
of juveniles.
Officials in Polk County
have no juvenile detention
facility of their own, so they
send their young offenders
to McMinnville. And Polk
County Sheriff Bob Wolf
said he likes seeing kids
from his county get a dose
of tough love.
Defense attorneys aren’t
so enthusiastic.
Megan Bishop, who
defends juvenile suspects
in both Yamhill and Wash-
ington counties, would
rather see her charges
incarcerated in Hillsboro
than McMinnville. And the
fact that kids are now being
allowed to lean against
the walls in McMinnville
hasn’t changed her view.
“The corrections staff
are lovely people, but they
have a very distinct attitude
when it comes to juvenile
corrections,” she said. “I
feel like there has to be a
happy medium. The kids
aren’t being rehabilitated,
they’re being punished.”
She said, “The fact of the
matter is that adult prisoners have more rights than
these kids do in Yamhill
County.”
Bishop said it may not
be so much that local
corrections officials are

Court reschedules plane foreclosure hearing
A hearing on a motion
by Umpqua Bank, which is
seeking to proceed with the
foreclosure sale of 15 airplanes and replicas housed
at the Evergreen Aviation
Museum, has been rescheduled for April 16.
The planes are owned by
Evergreen Vintage Aircraft,
a holding company subsidiary of the now-defunct
Evergreen International
Airlines. EVA filed for
bankruptcy
protection
in U.S. District Court in
December in an effort to
block the sale, which it
argues would unfairly favor
one creditor over others.
The bank argues that
because EVA has repeatedly defaulted on tens of
millions worth of loans,
and has failed to raise
the money by selling the
planes, the bank is entitled
to do so.
The planes also were put
up as collateral against a
debt to World Fuel Inc.
In all, Umpqua says, they
secured $41 million in
bank loans and $9.1 million in accumulated fuel
charges.
The bank has succeeded
in finding a buyer. Erickson Aviation LLC, owned
by Erickson Inc. founder
Jack Erickson, who recent-

If the deal isn’t allowed
to proceed expeditiously,
the bank says, Erickson has
threatened to back out.
Umpqua says it had to
scour the world to find a
willing buyer. It is crucial
that the deal be allowed
to proceed, bank officials
argue.

Carol Hogan’s sister,
Cheryl, died this winter in
a tent outside McMinnville
Cooperative Ministries.
Hampered by lack of
transportation for the regular dialysis sessions she
needed to keep her alive,
she succumbed to kidney
failure.
Between 75 and 100
people packed the Carnegie
Room of the McMinnville
Public Library Feb. 21 to
discuss the homelessness
issue. But homelessness is
more than just an “issue”
for Hogan.
For the past three years,
her sister’s final years, it
has been a daily struggle to
survive — one they shared
until Cheryl’s death. Now,
Carol Hogan is facing the
challenge on her own.

The News-Register Staff
The McMinnville Wine &

Sip!, will be celebrating its
21st anniversary of fun and
fundraising for St. James

tour of Wine Country.
Generously co-sponsoring the event are the folks at
the Eola Hills Wine Cellars.
They’re old hands at the

cycling tours since the mid1990s.
Joining them in the March
15 endeavor is The Principal
Financial Group, a multibillion-dollar investment
management and consulting company known for its
animated triangle television
commercials. Portland’s

Vietnam Memorial seeks fallen vet photos
Fourteen Yamhill County
residents died in the Vietnam War, but only eight
are pictured on a website
honoring the 58,300 Americans who died in Vietnam.
Supporters are launching a
campaign to come up with
photos of the other six.
The effort to post photos
of everyone lost in Vietnam
— from all over the U.S.,
not just Oregon or Yamhill
County — is being publicized by a Hawaii woman,
Janna Hoehn.
She started collecting
photos of the fallen Vietnam
veterans from Maui County,
where she lives. Next, she
went on to gather photos
from her hometown in California, then the entire state
of California. Now she’s
working her way across the
country.
“The response has been
amazing,” she said. “I have
collected more than 1,200
photos since May 2013.
With your help it will be
more.”
She is seeking photos
of these six veterans from
Yamhill County: Sheridan
residents David M. Barrett
and Ronnie O. Bigelow,
who died in 1968; McMinnville residents Jon W.
Layton III, Roger W.
Shipley and Michael G.
Turner, who also died in
1968; and Newberg resident Edward H. Johnson,
who died in 1972.
The other fallen vets
from Yamhill County,
whose photos have already
been posted, are William A. Oberg, Lafayette,
1965; Richard E. Traster,
McMinnville, 1968;Robert D. Buswell, Willamina,
1969; Brian L. Wilson,
Amity, 1970; Robert Altus,
Sheridan, 1971; and Newberg residents William W.
Newton, 1960, Michael C.
Kamph, 1967, and Dick E.
Whitney, 1969.
Photos can be submitted
to Hoehn at neverforgotten2014@gmail.com
.
They will be posted at the
“Wall of Faces” online
memorial at www.vvmf.

an arm of its Hatfield
School of Government, will
teach the course.
The course will teach
leaders how to enhance
their community’s ability
to prepare for, respond to,
recover from and mitigate
against all forms of disaster. It will help them better
assess risks, identify vulnerabilities and establish
management procedures.
Topics include the indentification of hazards and
vulnerabilities, fostering of
community preparedness
and mitigation, value of
partnerships, use of citizen
volunteers, roles of church,
business and civic groups,
mission of emergency
managers and responders,
and involvement of elected leaders and the general
public,

THE JOY OF SOCKS
The Yamhill Community Action Partnership hopes to blow the
community’s socks off
by collecting masses of
socks and piling them on
the Capitol steps in Salem
to raise awareness about
homelessness.
YCAP is participating
in a statewide campaign
to collect 20,000 pairs
of socks for a display
Wednesday, March 11,
coinciding with the Oregon Housing Alliance’s
Housing Opportunity Day.
The socks are designed
to represent Oregon’s
20,000 homeless students.
Afterward, they will be
donated to homeless services providers around the
state.
Lee Means, who heads
YCAP, said studies show
homelessness is a major
reason for high school
dropout rates. Unfortunately, she said, some
children are dropping out
even before they get to
high school, as they have
changed schools so many
times and missed so many
days they just can’t keep
up.
Housing advocates are
hoping to persuade legislators to allocate $20 million
to the Emergency Housing
Account and State Homeless Assistance Program.
The EHA funds a rental
assistance program and
SHAP a homeless shelter
network.
“Socks are the most
requested item at homeless
shelters across the state,”
said Oregon Housing Alliance Policy Manager Omar
Carrillo. “Gathering 20,000
pairs of socks on the Capi-
tol steps will be a striking
and poignant reminder of
the kids, parents and individuals who experience
homelessness in Oregon
communities.”
YCAP will be collecting socks at 1317 N.E.
Dustin Court until Friday,
March 6. Donors can also
purchase socks online
and have them shipped to
Neighborhood Partnerships, an arm of Oregon
Housing Alliance, at 310
S.W. Fourth Ave., #715,
Portland, OR 97204.
Additional information,
including a link to packages of low-cost socks

happy to share additional
details at 503-472-0457.
POT TALK AT OLCC
The Oregon Liquor
Control Commission’s final
public forum on the promulgation of rules governing
the pending legalization of
marijuana — the eighth in a
series of eight — is set for 7
to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March
11, at the Hallmark Resort,
744 S.W. Elizabeth St. in
Newport.
“Hearing first hand from
community members is vital
to our public process,” said
Chair Rob Patridge. “The
OLCC needs to hear from
you. What should marijuana
regulation look like in your
community and throughout
Oregon?”
The forums are the first
steps in a year-long public
rulemaking process that will
include monthly commission
meetings and rules advisory
committee meetings.
“OLCC is committed to
a transparent and inclusive
public process to help us
implement the law in a way
that protects children, keeps
our communities safe, and
brings the recreational marijuana industry into the regulated market,” Patridge said.
Under the new law,
possession of recreational
marijuana becomes legal
on July 1. OLCC will begin
accepting applications for
commercial licenses in January. The first retail outlets
are expected to open late
next year.
BIRD FLU IN TUMALO
Bird flu has been detected
in a flock of domestic birds
in the Deschutes County
community of Tumalo, near
Bend. That has prompted a
response from the state and
federal departments of agriculture.
Bruce Pokarney, a
spokesman for the Oregon
Department of Agriculture,
said the property has been
secured and no additional
cases have been reported.
He said officials are in the
process of establishing a
quarantine zone in the area
to prevent further domestic
exposure.
Affected is a flock of
about 90 birds, including
chickens, ducks and turkeys,
that had been accessing
ponds also frequented by
wild migratory waterfowl.
Pokarney said bird flu is
common in wild birds and
it is not unusual for wild
waterfowl to carry multiple
strains.
Bird flu has been
reported in domestic birds
in Washington and Idaho as
well as Oregon.
The Deschutes County
outbreak is Oregon’s second.
The first was in Southern
Oregon’s Douglas County in
December.
Pokarney said the strains
of bird flu detected in the
three Northwest states pose
some risk to public health,
but at a very low level.
He said the virus has not
been detected in any commercial poultry operations
in the Northwest, and does
not affect poultry meat or
egg products. He said they
remain safe to eat.
Joanne welcomes all inquiries at her confidential voice mail 503 3586933. She also offers a sliding scale fee option for those in need of
more affordable services. Joanne looks forward to hearing from you!

The historic building at
Fourth and Evans streets in
downtown McMinnville is
in the final stages of what
builder Dennis Gaffney
called a complete “gut and
stuff.”
Gaffney, vice president
of JHC Construction, is
directing renovation of
the building. It has housed
numerous McMinnville
businesses since the early
20th century, including the
News-Register through the
mid-1970s.
By the middle of March,
it is scheduled to
become
corporate

operating from
quarters on
Third Street.
Fee Stubblefield, founder
and president of The
Springs, said he and his
employees need more elbow
room. “ This was a great
opportunity,” he said.
“Right now, we are out
of the space,” he said. As a
result, he said, “Half of our
people are working in Sherwood.”
The renovation will give
The Springs 5,396-squarefeet, according to Gaffney.
He said JHC Construction is
handling the work, and has
removed just about everything but the exterior walls.
“It’s a complete remodel
with completely new bathrooms, new windows and
new everything,” Gaffney
said.
Since the newspaper
moved out of the building,
the space has been used as
county clerk overflow area
and put to various other
uses.
Stubblefield declined to
say how much the renovation is expected to cost, but
said it’s been an interesting process. “We’ve found
something interesting things
in the walls,” he said.

Most West Coast ports bustling again after labor deal
OAKLAND — Nearly
all West Coast seaports
began the work week with
crews hustling to load and
unload cargo ships previously held up amid a
months-long dispute over
a new contract for dockworkers.
The exception Monday
was the Port of Oakland,
where problems persisted
three days after negotiators
for the dockworkers’ union
and for employers reached
a tentative agreement covering all 29 West Coast
ports. Those ports handle
roughly one-quarter of
U.S. international trade, an
amount worth about $1 trillion annually.
In Oakland, nine ships
were at berth and ready for
cranes to move cargo Monday, but only one was being
worked due to what port
spokesman Mike Zampa
called a “temporary shortage of experienced crane
operators.” He said port
officials expected experienced crane drivers to
return for the night shift.
Other Oakland dockworkers were still putting
containers that already had
been unloaded onto trucks
and trains. The port handles about 10 percent of the
coast’s total seaborne trade.
Operations at the other
West Coast ports from Seattle to Southern California
appeared to be back to normal. The job of restoring
the free flow of goods will
take at least two months —
and more like three at the
Port of Los Angeles, the
nation’s largest.
Put in a line, the cargo
containers sitting on ships
off the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach on
Monday morning would
stretch 731 miles. Stacked
up, they’d rise more than
300 miles — higher than
the orbiting altitude of the
International Space Station.
There are smaller, though
substantial, backups in San
Francisco Bay and Washington’s Puget Sound.
Negotiators for the International Longshore and
Warehouse Union and the
Pacific Maritime Association of companies that own,
load and unload massive,
ocean-going ships reached
a tentative deal Friday
night. Leaders for both
sides pledged to keep labor
peace on the West Coast
waterfront as their respec-
tive members vote on the
deal.
The union’s 13,000 voting members could make
their decision in April,
though the timing is not set.
The maritime association
has not said when it expects
its members to vote.
The issues in Oakland
marked the second day of
disruptions.
A labor-management dispute related to work breaks
escalated to the point that
the port shut down Sunday.
An arbitrator ordered
a return to work on the
night shift after finding that
longshoremen took part in
illegal work stoppages.
Melvin Mackay, a spokesman for the local union
branch that covers Oakland, did not return calls
requesting comment.

Anti-vaccine
mothers discuss
their reasoning
amid a backlash
By GOSIA WOZNIACKA
Of the Associated Press
LAKE OSWEGO — One
is a businesswoman and an
MBA graduate. Another is
a corporate vice president.
The third is a registered
nurse.
These three mothers
— all of them educated,
middle-class professionals
— are among the vaccine
skeptics who have been
widely ridiculed since more
than 100 people fell ill in
a measles outbreak traced
to Disneyland. Critics question their intelligence, their
parenting, even their sanity. Some have been called
criminals for foregoing
‘Contrary to
common sentiment,
we are not antiscience.’
Michelle Moore
Lake Oswego mother who did
not vaccinate children
shots for their children that
are overwhelmingly shown
to be safe and effective.
“Contrary to the common sentiment, we are not
anti-science,” said Michelle
Moore, a businesswoman
who lives in the affluent
Portland suburb of Lake
Oswego with her 2½-yearold twin girls. “I’m not
opposed to medicine, and
I think vaccines have a
place. We think it’s a medical choice, and it should be
researched carefully.”
The backlash, much of
it from people who fear
unvaccinated children could
infect their own kids, has
been so severe that dozens
of anti-vaccine parents contacted by The Associated
Press were afraid to speak
out. But a handful of mothers agreed to discuss their
thinking.
Moore, an MBA graduate
who runs an agriculturerelated business, traces her
feelings to the time she took
Lariam, a supposedly safe
anti-malaria medication.
Instead, she said, the drug
saddled her with multiple
health complications. She
questions whether the government knew about the
risks at the time. Health
officials now acknowledge
Lariam can cause severe
side effects, some of which
can be permanent.
That experience broke
Moore’s trust in the medical
establishment and launched
her on years of research
into how vaccines can affect
people’s health. When she
got pregnant, Moore and
her husband delayed immunization for Sierra and
Savannah.
“It was not an easy
decision,” she said. “The
thought of something happening to them because we
chose not to vaccinate is terrifying. But I have so many
questions, and I do think it’s
the right decision for our
family.”
Nancy Babcock of Spokane, Washington, says
people who share her opinions “are being vilified and
ostracized.” Babcock, a vice
president at a bank, told her
daughter about her doubts.
Then her daughter and her
husband looked into the
issue, and they decided not
to immunize their two children.
“In a community with
many young people, those
who don’t vaccinate are
feeling a lot of pressure,”
she said.
Nationwide, parents who
seek an exemption from
vaccine requirements are
still in a tiny minority. The
median total exemption rate
for kindergartners during
the 2013-14 school year was
just 1.8 percent, according
to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. But
some individual schools or
communities have higher
exemption rates, at times
approaching 60 percent or
more.
The parents who spoke
to AP recounted spending
hundreds of hours review-
ing medical studies, books
and news stories and networking on social media.
They cited cases of children
who were supposedly hurt
by vaccines and the existence of a government-run
vaccine injury-compensation program. And they
worried about the oversight
of pharmaceutical companies that reap profits from
vaccines and are shielded
from liability when a vaccine causes harm.
Moore said she read a
1998 study published in
The Lancet journal by Dr.
Andrew Wakefield, who
raised the possibility of a
link between the measlesmumps-rubella vaccine,
bowel disease and autism.
She said she knows the
study was later discredited
and retracted. She believes
the research was inconclusive.
Moore concedes that
the vast majority of studies show vaccines are safe,
but she says some research
points to inconsistencies,
unknowns or negative
effects that deserve further
investigation.
And while autism is still
a concern, Moore and others also worry about how
exposure to chemicals, bad
nutrition and stress can
affect genes and health.
They say large doses of
synthetic additives found in
vaccines, including aluminum and mercury, can harm
the immune and digestive
systems and brain.
The CDC has phased out
a mercury-containing preservative in vaccines as a
precautionary
measure,
and the agency says vaccines containing aluminum
pose extremely low risk to
infants.
These parents say they
should be able to decide
whether their child undergoes a medical procedure
— a decision, they say, that
goes to the core of what it
means to have freedom of
choice.
“I have the right to decide
what to put into my child’s
body,” said Heather Dillard, a mom in Springfield,
Missouri, who is also a
registered nurse. “Nobody
has the right to put toxic
chemicals into my son’s
bloodstream. That’s taking
my rights away, and it’s very
scary to me.”
Dillard said she decided
against vaccinating because
her first child was born a
preemie and has autism.
Dillard does not believe vaccines caused the autism, but
the disease led her to do a
lot of research about health.
She says she now chooses
to build her son’s immunity
naturally, through diet, while
avoiding shots or other medication.
Moore said she does worry
about affecting children who
are immune-compromised
and cannot be vaccinated.
Before visiting friends with
babies or young children,
she said, she always informs
them her twins are not vaccinated “so they have the
power to make a choice.”
She also keeps the girls
home at any sign of sickness.
If Oregon were to take
away the right to a vaccine
exemption, Moore said, she
would likely home-school
her twins. She’s keeping an
open mind about vaccinating
as her children get older, but
hopes more studies on the
long-term effects of vaccines
can help dispel her doubts.
“I worry about living in a
society that’s progressively
more intolerant toward any
dissent,” Moore said. “All
scientific advances have
come from questioning the
status quo.”

Police begin probe into leaked Kitzhaber emails
By HANNAH HOFFMAN
Of The Statesman Journal
The Oregon State Police
last week began a criminal
investigation into emails
leaked from the state’s
Department of Administrative Services regarding
former Gov. John Kitzhaber’s behavior while in
office, at the request of
agency director Michael
Jordan.
On Friday, Jordan also
launched his own internal
human resources review of
two high-level managers
inside DAS, both of whom
have been placed on paid
administrative leave.
The two reviews are not
necessarily linked, spokesman Matt Shelby said, and
no one has been placed on
leave related to the criminal
investigation.
Gov. Kate Brown’s office
did not request either review
and is not involved, Shelby
said, other than to remain
informed of any findings.
Brown’s office directed all
questions to DAS.
The emails in question
included thousands of
pieces of correspondence
between Kitzhaber and his
fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, as
well as at least one email
between Kitzhaber and his
private attorney.
That email appears to
have breached attorney-client privilege, Shelby said,
and the leak itself appears
to have violated the state’s
internal information security policies.
Kitzhaber had requested
DAS delete the emails, in
a Feb. 5 email from his
executive assistant Jan
Murdock, but staff at the
agency raised concerns that
the request was inappropriate and ultimately refused
to do it.
OSP will decide whether any criminal activity
occurred in leaking those
emails, Shelby said.
Meanwhile, Jordan has
made several changes inside
the department since Willamette Week, Portland’s
alternative newspaper, published a story about the
emails on Feb. 18.
First, he reorganized the
management structure for
the Enterprise Technology
Services (ETS) division of
DAS, which housed those
emails.
Going forward, Chief
Information Officer Alex
Pettit will oversee the division, and Stefan Richards,
the state’s chief information
security officer, will manage the division’s security.
The ETS division provides IT services across
state agencies, and it was
already undergoing a comprehensive review of that
function, Shelby said,
which played into Jordan’s
decision to change its leadership structure.
The division is also coordinating with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation on
fulfilling a host of criminal
subpoenas.
In addition, two highlevel managers have been
placed on leave.
Michael Rogers, the
interim administrator of
ETS, and Marshall Wells, a
member of the management
team, are both on paid leave
and are the primary focus of
the HR review, Shelby said.
Jordan informed his staff
of the criminal investigation on Wednesday, shortly
after Brown was sworn in
as governor.
“Bottom line, this comes
down to trust. Trust in our
ability to securely store sensitive information; trust in
our process to determine

Alaska becomes 3rd state with legal marijuana
By MOLLY DISCHNER
Of the Associated Press
JUNEAU,
ALASKA
— Smoking, growing
and possessing marijuana
becomes legal in America’s
wildest state Tuesday, thanks
to a voter initiative aimed at
clearing away 40 years of
conflicting laws and court
rulings.
Making Alaska the third
state to legalize recreational marijuana was the
goal of a coalition including libertarians, rugged
individualists and smallgovernment Republicans
who prize the privacy rights
enshrined in the state’s constitution.
But when they voted
52-48 percent last November to legalize marijuana use
by adults in private places,
they left many of the details
to lawmakers and regulators
to sort out.
Meanwhile,
Alaska
Native leaders worry that
legalization will bring new
temptations to communities
already confronting high
rates of drug and alcohol
abuse, domestic violence
and suicide.
“When they start depending on smoking marijuana,
I don’t know how far they’d
go to get the funds they
need to support it, to support
themselves,” said Edward
Nick, council member in
Manokotak, a remote village
of 400 that is predominantly
Yup’ik Eskimo.
Both alcohol and drug use
are prohibited in Nick’s village 350 miles southwest of
Anchorage, even inside the
privacy of villagers’ homes.
But Nick fears that the
initiative, in combination
with a 1975 state Supreme
Court decision that legalized
marijuana use inside homes
— could open doors to drug
abuse.
Initiative backers promised Native leaders that
communities could still have
local control under certain
conditions. Alaska law gives
every community the option
to regulate alcohol locally.
From northern Barrow to
Klawock, 1,291 miles away
in southeast Alaska, 108
communities impose local
limits on alcohol, and 33 of
them ban it altogether.
But the initiative did not
provide clear opt-out language for tribal councils and
other smaller communities,
forcing each one to figure
out how to proceed Tuesday.
November’s
initiative
also bans smoking in public, but didn’t define what
that means, and lawmakers
left the question to the alcohol regulatory board, which
planned to meet early Tuesday to discuss an emergency
response.
In Anchorage, Alaska’s
largest city, officials tried
and failed in December to
ban a new commercial marijuana industry. But Police
Chief Mark Mew said his
officers will be strictly
enforcing the public smoking ban. He even warned
people against smoking on
their porches if they live next
to a park.
Other officials are still
discussing a proposed cultivation ban for the wild
Kenai Peninsula. But far
to the north, in North Pole,
smoking outdoors on private
property will be OK as long
as it doesn’t create a nuisance, officials there said.
While the 1975 court
decision protected personal
marijuana possession and
a 1998 initiative legalized
medicinal marijuana, state
lawmakers twice criminalized any possession over the
years, creating an odd legal
limbo.
As of Tuesday, adult Alaskans can not only keep and
use pot, they can transport,
grow it and give it away.
A second phase, creating a
regulated and taxed marijuana market, won’t start until
2016 at the earliest.
And while possession is
no longer a crime under state
law, enjoying pot in public
can bring a $100 fine.
That’s fine with Dean
Smith, a pot-smoker in
Juneau who has friends in
jail for marijuana offenses.
“It’s going to stop a lot of
people getting arrested for
nonviolent crimes,” he said.
The initiative’s backers
warned pot enthusiasts to
keep their cool.
“Don’t do anything to
give your neighbors reason
to feel uneasy about this new
law. We’re in the midst of an
enormous social and legal
shift,” organizers wrote in
the Alaska Dispatch News,
the state’s largest newspaper.
There’s no such pullback
for former television reporter
Charlo Greene, now CEO of
the Alaska Cannabis Club,
which is having its grand
opening on Tuesday in
downtown Anchorage. She’s
already pushing the limits,
promising to give away weed
to paying “medical marijuana” patients and other “club
members.”
Greene — who quit her
job with a four-letter walkoff
on live television last year
to devote her efforts to passing the initiative — plans a
celebratory toke at 4:20 p.m.

Commissioners to discuss
Yamhelas Westsider trail grant
By NICOLE MONTESANO
The Yamhill County commissioners will hold further
discussions Thursday on
the Yamhelas Westsider
Trail rail-to-trail project, in
response to a staff request
for authorization to pursue
a state Parks and Recreation
Department grant for rightof-way funding.
They are slated to meet
at 10 a.m. in Room 32 at
the Yamhill County Courthouse.
At their informal meeting
Monday, the commissioners argued at length over
the trail proposal. Commissioners Allen Springer and
Stan Primozich favor it, but
Commissioner Mary Star-
rett is adamant opposed.
She argued Monday
‘I’ve said
repeatedly, I hope
that’s what the
National Parks
Service grant will
help address.’
Laura Tschabold
Yamhill County Administrator
that it’s still not clear who
will cover the cost of trail
maintenance over the long
haul. Grants and Special
Projects Manager Jayne
Mercer noted the plan is for
volunteers from the non-
profit group Friends of the
Westsider Yamhelas Trail to
maintain the trail, but Starrett said she fears volunteer
enthusiasm will eventually
wane, leaving the county to
pick up the slack.
Primozich said the group
is committed to provided
for trail maintenance,
whether it actually performs
the work or hires it out.
County
Administrator
Laura Tschabold reminded
Starrett that the previous
commission approved pursuit of funding for the project
without having a complete
maintenance plan in place.
“I’ve said repeatedly, I hope
that’s what the National
Parks Service grant will help
to address,” she said.
The aim of that grant is
to fund a consultant contract with someone who has
worked on similar projects.
The consultant would help
the county complete its plan
for building and maintaining the trail.
The grant Mercer wants
to pursue totals $430,000.
To be awarded through the
Local Government Grant
Program, the money would
cover purchase of three
miles of additional rightof-way along an 17-miles
stretch of abandoned rail
line running from St.
Joseph, between McMinnville and Lafayette on
Highway 18, and a point
near Gaston, just past Hagg
Lake.
Willamina to name new superintendent

unyielding as that they are
unimaginative.
“Yamhill County seems
to have an ingrained reluctance to be creative,” she
said. “The premise of juvenile justice is supposed to
be rehabilitative rather than
punitive, and I fear that the
juvenile department and
juvenile detention have lost
their way.”
Paasch said he understands
perfectly

difference between adult
and juvenile offenders.
“I’m not a big proponent
of juvenile detention being
like adult jail,” he said. “We
only have them for a few
days. We want them to have
the least traumatic experience they can have in here.”
That doesn’t mean a stint
in juvie is going to resemble a holiday at the Ritz,
though. After all, he said,
it is a detention center. And
that, he said, means that
even everyday items like
pillows may have weapons
potential, thus have to be
banned.
That galls juvenile
defense attorney Paula
Lawrence. Even the vilest
inmates in the state penitentiary system are issued
pillows, Lawrence said. But
kids locked up in Yamhill
County have to make do
with Naugahyde mattresses
whose raised ends simulate
pillows.
Lawrence said it hardly
takes the place of a real
pillow.
“Some people hug their
pillow,” she said. “It’s not a
stationary thing.”
Paasch said the pillow
issue isn’t keeping him up
at night.
“They have to be without
the comforts of home for a
few days, but they manage,”
he said. “We also have to
consider scabies and lice.
You always have to measure risk versus reward.”
There’s a risk of pillowrelated injuries, Paasch
said. It’s no joke, he said,
noting, “I personally witnessed a pillow do some
serious damage to an individual here in detention.”
That contention doesn’t
convince Lawrence.
“It’s a mindset that has
to be addressed,” she said.
With more definitive
rules, they said, investment
in Pendleton’s range would
become easier.
Chrisman said three
developers are showing
interest in building at the
Eastern Oregon Regional
Airport and are continuing
to make progress on signing
two companies to contracts
to test at the range.
The airport is also continuing to garner interest
from private developers to
build new hangars, with
Chrisman saying he could
easily see six new hangars
at the airport within a year
and a half.
“They create the barriers to
not having things. There’s
no statutory reason you
can’t have pillows.”
Sometimes, Paasch said,
something is withheld due
to statute or policy. But in
other cases, it’s just a matter of money.
One of the common
knocks against the county’s
juvenile detention facility is
the lack of an outside recreation area. All the kids have
now is a dank room where
the sun trickles in through
high windows.
The architecture of the
detention facility, and the
rest of the property at Sixth
and Evans streets, doesn’t
allow for an outside recreation yard, Paasch said.
Besides, he said, there’s no
budget for one.
State law requires detention facilities to offer
outdoor recreational facilities, as well as facilities for
arts and crafts work, Bishop
said. “I am concerned about
the options for these kids,”
she said, as Yamhill County
is violating state law when
it comes to recreational
amenities.
Paasch responded by saying money for renovation of
the existing recreation room
is included in the budget for
the next fiscal year, beginning July 1.
“It won’t give them all
the exposure to the outdoors they want,” he said,
awning was already in the
facility’s capital budget for
the year, he said.
Bishop said Washington
County offers many more
options for young offenders
and their families.
For example, it offers free
electronic home monitoring
as an alternative to incarceration. “It ends up being
cheaper for them than getting a bed in Multnomah
County,” she said.
In Yamhill County, monitoring runs $12 a day, and
requires a $50 deposit up
front.
But Bishop said, “We’re
He said Yamhill is the
only county in the state
where there have been no
incidents of youth-on-youth
or youth-on-staff violence,
and he thinks it’s because
the county runs such a tight
ship. “We take great pride
in those sorts of things,”
he said.
Lawrence agreed that
kids who spend time locked
up in Yamhill County are
well-controlled. But in her
view, they are too well-controlled.
She said the center’s
young charges aren’t

the eye or move their hands

added, an inmate asked her
if it was OK if he scratched
his nose while she was talking to him.
“They’re very well
trained, but that’s the
problem,” Lawrence said.
“They’re trained.
“They don’t teach them
to make the right choices.
They teach them to make no
choices.”
She noted, “Statistically,
we have more youth in
detention than larger counties.” And she said, “That
should be troubling to people.”
‘We need to find
some way for these
kids to see the

“but it will let in more sunlight. I’m envious of some

meet regularly with Paasch
and his staff to raise issues.
Lawrence said lack of adequate recreational facilities
is a frequent topic.
“I have had a reasonable
relationship with them, but
we need to find some way
for these kids to see the
sunlight,” she said. “Right
now, it’s a privilege for
them to to be in a room
where they can see the sun.”
County officials found
money in the budget to
install a metal awning over
the security entrance to the
detention facility earlier
this year, after the NewsRegister ran a Nov. 4 story
about visitors having to
stand in the rain for hours.
The fact the awning went
up within weeks of the
story is purely coincidental,
Paasch said. Money for the

talking about indigent people who can barely make
rent.” And she said the
burden on poor families
doesn’t end there.
“This is one of the few
counties that assesses attorney fees on kids,” she said.
“The kids end up paying
between $400 and $800.
“We need to provide
them options. We’re dealing with very poor people,
and kids don’t have money.
You’re putting a huge financial burden on them.”
All this is counterproductive to rehabilitation,
Bishop said.
“There has been a lot of
focus nationally on how
we’re treating kids in detention,” she said. “If we’re
treating these kids like
criminals, they’re going to
be criminals.’
“We want these kids to
be contributing members of
society as adults ... We want
to rehabilitate these kids.”
She said, “Yamhill County has been an eye-opener
for me.” She said the kids
themselves aren’t complaining, but that’s because
they are just kids.
“Kids are not the first
ones to say anything or
even know something is
wrong,” she said. “As far as
they’re concerned, they’re
being punished and whatever happens just happens.
“They don’t know when
to say it’s not all right. It
never dawned on me that
they weren’t seeing the sunlight. They don’t know how
to complain.”
Paasch disputed her
claim.
He said it’s easy to
complain. In fact, he said,
“There are all kinds of horror stories about just about
everything in a jail,” he
said.

Church, 125 S.E. Cowls St.,
on Jan. 29. McMinnville
police gave this account:
the community needs to
move beyond an “us” and
“them” mentality and see
everyone as part of a seamless whole.
“Fear blocks out any
solution,” she said. “We
need to get rid of fear.”
Few specific solutions
were offered, but Nate
McKay, who helped Harkema organize the meeting,
said one of McMinnville’s
most pressing needs is a
24/7 drop-in center where
homeless people can go to
take showers, do laundry
and warm up.
Susan Alley said she
would like to see more
coordination among local
helping agencies.
“In the five years I’ve
been in McMinnville, I’ve
not seen the nonprofits
working together,” she said.
“There’s a ton of money out
there. We’re just not using
it right.”
Concerns about local
homelessness moved to
the fore when leaders of
McMinnville Cooperative
Ministries began letting a
small number of homeless
people pitch tents on church
property downtown. City
officials sent the church a
letter Dec. 11 declaring the
tents are a public nuisance,
ultimately subject to up to
$500 a day in fines if not
remedied.
The victim had just
arrived at the church for
an Alcoholics Anonymous
meeting when Greenslade
approached and slashed
him in the arm with a
razor blade. Greenslade
exclaimed, “Gotcha, there
you go,” before fleeing in
a car.
The victim, who did not
require hospitalization, said
he had attended AA meetings with Greenslade on
numerous occasions.
The next day, Greenslade
was picked up by an Oregon State Police trooper
‘I’ve done some pretty crazy things in my
life, especially in the last two months. Yet
everyone deserves a pillow, a blanket and
a bed.’
Mark Riche
Homeless man
City and church officials have been discussing
the issue since, sparking a
wider community conversation.
Harkema has assembled
about a dozen activists in
support of what he calls
the COMPASS Center,
COMPASS standing for
Community
Outreach
of McMinnville Posting
Action Sharing Sanctuary.
He envisions it as a sort of
“one-stop shopping” solution to homelessness.
A homeless person coming to COMPASS would
find dormitory-style accommodations as well as access
to food, clothing, laundry,
computers, child care,
telephone service, medical attention, mental health
counseling, job services
and even education and job
training.
Harkema said the center
would cost millions of dollars. He thinks up to 70
percent of the construction and operation expense
could be grant-funded, but
acknowledged seeing it
through figures to take a
number of years.
In the meantime, he said,
the community needs to
pursue less ambitious alternatives.
Mark Riche, who has
spent the past few years
on the street, said efforts
should focus on the basic
needs of shelter, job training
and transportation. Those
are essentials, he said.
Other things, such has
access to mental health
care, can come later, he
said, though he admitted that mental illness is a
major problem among the
homeless.
“I’ve done some pretty crazy things in my life,
especially in the last two
months,” he acknowledged.
“Yet everyone deserves a
pillow, a blanket and a bed,”
he said.
The Rev. Michael Sayler, interim pastor at First
Baptist Church, said he
has heard concerns voiced
about extending services
for violating his probation
on 2012 convictions for
fourth-degree assault and
harassment. He was carrying a knife at the time.
The charges from the new
case were added later.
The case against Holt
arose Feb. 8, when McMinnville police were called to
a fight at the Muchas Gracias Mexican Restaurant,
220 N.E. 12th St. They gave
this account:
Holt arrived in a vehicle
and confronted two men.
He got out and punched
one of them in the face for
having allegedly pushed his
girlfriend.
When Holt attempted to
throw another punch at the
first man, the man’s companion put his arm up to
block it and was stabbed.
Holt then resumed punching his original target.
Holt told responding
officers he didn’t stab anyone. He admitting having
punched one of the men
several times, but said he
was merely defending his
girlfriend.
Neither of the victims
required hospitalization.
serving as a draw for other
homeless people.
“What if we’re successful?” he said. “Will our
success draw more people
to the community for services?”
Sayler doesn’t share that
concern. He said he’d like
to see McMinnville serve
as a model for other communities.
Harkema said he will
review the notes from Saturday’s meeting, then call
another one for more discussion.
This is only the beginning of the process, he said.
The most important aspect
of the meeting, he added,
is that people are talking
about the issue.
Whitney Ferwerda said
one of the virtues of this sort
of meeting is that it gives
people a place where they
can talk openly and frankly.
That’s rare, she said.
“There’s no safe place
except here,” she said. “So
go us!”
Whatever people say
when it comes to homeless
people, Hogan hopes everyone remembers the “people”
part is more important than
the “homeless” part.
“I’m one of the ... homeless, but the Bible I’ve read
says we’ve all sinned and
fallen short of the glory of
God, so you’re no better
than me,” she said.

BINK AND YOU’LL MISS HIM
Grizzlies senior Binkerd paces McMinnville
swimmers at OSAA state championships
By ROCKNE ROLL
GRESHAM – Fatigue, travel
and an elite competitive field had
no chance of separating Owen
Binkerd from his time to shine.
McMinnville’s super-sprinter
brought home a grip of medals
from the weekend’s OSAA
Swimming State Championships
at Mount Hood Community
College as the Grizzly boys took
12th place in the team standings,
much of it due to Binkerd’s
blistering performances.
Binkerd took third place in
the boys’ 50-yard freestyle,
swimming a 21.89 second
qualifying time and a 21.80
secodn run in the finals. Binkerd
also turned in a 47.93-second
qualifier and a 47.89 in the
finals of the 100-yard freestyle
to take fourth.
“He had a really good meet.
He’s had a really good year of
training, he work hard for it and
it really paid off,” McMinnville
swimming coach Jason Hafner
said. “He was right at his
lifetime bests. The big thing is,
when you’re racing at the state
meet, it’s a pretty even field
so you don’t get a lot of open
water. To go right at his best in
that was a really good swim.
There’s a lot of turbulence
because you’ve got a whole
field of guys at that speed.”
Binkerd was also part of the
boys 200-yard medley relay
team that won the consolation
final in 1:41-05 to take seventh
place and shave almost a second
and a falf off their 1:42.43
preliminary time.

SALEM – The McMinnville
wrestling team was wellrepresented in weight class finals
at the OSAA Class 6A Special
District 5 Championships, held
Friday and Saturday at Sprague
High School in Salem.
But how well are the Grizzlies
set up for state?
In all, nine McMinnville
wrestlers will attend the OSAA
Class 6A State Championships,
held at Veterans Memorial
Coliseum in Portland on Feb.
27-28. As a team, the Grizzlies
compiled 299.5 points for second
place, behind district champion
and host Sprague (378 points) and
ahead of third-place McNary (261
points) in the nine-team district.
“We had a really good
tournament. Felt like we could
have moved 2-3 more kids
through but I am very happy with
the 9 we qualified,” McMinnville
coach Shawn Keinonen wrote in
an email. “They are all tough kids
and should score/wrestle well at
the state meet.”
Of the nine state qualifiers,
eight made it to the finals of
their respective weight classes,
with three winning district titles.
Alvaro Flores and Aspen Nelson
were dominant at 106 pounds
and 113 pounds, respectively, in
earning district crowns. Bobby
Crowston won two matches by
fall, one by technical fall and one
by major decision at 145 pounds.
“(Nelson) was so dominant,
pinning all four of his opponents
and never going past half way
through the 2nd period,” Keinonen
wrote. “Bobby looked amazing
on his feet, again, just being a
takedown machine. Alvaro won
some close matches but wrestled
very smart to win his first league
title.”
The runner-up finishes were
disappointments in the moment
but delineated the overall strength
of the team. Manny Humlie (138
pounds), Dalton Donaldson (152
pounds), Alex Kiess (160 pounds),
Josh Blanchard (170 pounds) and
Brian Barnes (195 pounds) made
their respective finals.
“Manny Humlie and Dalton
Donaldson really were on the
wrong end of some horrific calls
in the finals that cost both of them
their matches,” Keinonen wrote.
“Brian Barnes, Josh Blanchard
and Alex Kiess also all lost tough
matches in the finals.

season is complete
By ROBERT HUSSEMAN
1. Owen Binkerd, McMinnville
swimmer. In a whirlwind of
a week for Oregon sports, the
senior’s individual effort stands
out in the hearts and minds of the
News-Register. Binkerd capped
off an outstanding career with
a third-place finish in the Class
6A boys’ 50-yard freestyle (21.80
seconds) and a fourth-place finish
in the 6A boys’ 100-yard freestyle
(47.89). Binkered, the only
McMinnville swimmer to qualify
for the state championships’
second day, helped the Grizzlies
to a 12th-place finish on the boys’
side. Congratulations to a standout
young man and competitor.
2. Portland Trail Blazers. The
NBA trade deadline came and
went on Feb. 19 with a flurry
of excitement – 38 players in
total were traded, or 8.4 percent
of all players under contract –
and national observers are in
agreement that Portland got better
with a single deal.
The Trail Blazers acquired
guard Arron
Afflalo from the
Denver Nuggets
for
Thomas
Robinson,
Victor Claver,
Will Barton and
a first-round
draft
pick.

(career
percentages of
45.5 from the
field and 38.4 from the threepoint line) but is mostly regarded
as a defensive presence. He is
expected to be the first man off the

Robinson, Claver and Barton
all had their moments – Barton,
in particular, earned the nickname
People’s Champ from the fans
– but all are inferior players
who could not be relied upon
for significant contributions in the
playoffs. Afflalo can, and landing
him has excited the admittedly
excitable Rip City faithful.
3. Yamhill County prep
wrestlers. The county’s individual
talent on the mat is impressive, but
the depth is the real story. Thirty-
five wrestlers will participate
in the Class 3A, Class 4A or
Class 6A state championships,
with Willamina represented by
14 wrestlers and McMinnville
represented by nine wrestlers. This
upcoming weekend at the OSAA
State Wrestling Championships
will be a busy one.
4. Oregon State women’s
basketball. The Beavers clinched
at least a share of the Pac-12
Conference championship and
won its 25th game of the season
Sunday at Utah, a school record.
Pick a statistic, and OSU is
excellent at it; eight nationally
in field-goal percentage (46.6),
fifth in assists per game (19.4)
and second in defensive rebounds
(31 per game). The sky remains
the limit for the best college
basketball team in Oregon.
5. George Fox women’s

from Yamhill County, as Linfield
fans might prefer to say, has
been awesome. The Bruins blew
through the Northwest Conference
(25-0, 16-0 NWC) and are the No.

according to the NCAA. George

is 24.1 points per game, the fifth-

ADAIR VILLAGE – Back on
top, with a vengeance.
Willamina captured the OSAA
Class 3A Special District 2
championship this weekend at
Santiam Christian High School
while qualifying 14 of its 16
wrestlers for the OSAA Class 3A
state championships. It was the
seventh district title in the past
eight years for the Bulldogs.
Willamina racked up 262
points at the district tournament
to bring home the championship,
beating out Scio (228 points) and
Harrisburg (200) for the honor.
Dayton finished fourth with 163
points; Sheridan scored 55 points
for eighth and Amity had 41 points
for ninth in the 10-team district.
“I was really impressed with
how our boys competed,”
Willamina coach Ariah Fasana
wrote in an email. “Our crowd was
large and vocal, the team had so
much support, it was an exciting
atmosphere. This group of kids
has really worked hard this season,
everyone is at every practice and
ready to go, it has been nice not
to have to deal with ‘off the mat’
distractions.”
Three Yamhill County wrestlers
took home district championships
on Saturday. Willamina junior
Michael Reyes, a returning state
champion, pinned all three of his
opponents to win the 126-pound
weight class. Bulldogs junior
Austin Howard, a returning state
finalist, outlasted Dayton senior
Jared Tompkins in the 160-pound
final, 2-0, to claim the district title.
The 138-pound final pitted a
pair of former state champions in
Sheridan senior Justin Acuff and
Dayton sophomore Jared Henry.
Acuff outlasted Henry in a 15-3
major decision for the fourth
district championship of his career.
SALEM – In a hostile
environment at South Salem
High School, McMinnville
boys basketball controlled
the tempo and executed
with precision in building a
28-15 halftime lead.
Ten second-half turnovers
later – eight of which came
in the third quarter – the
lead was a fading memory.
“They turned up the heat
a little bit,” Grizzlies coach
Willie Graham said. “They
were able to get to the
basket a little more, but off
of turnovers they had a head
of steam.”
South Salem outscored
McMinnville 44-20 in the
second half en route to a
59-48 victory Friday night.
Tanner Autencio filled
up the stat sheet for the
Grizzlies with 17 points, 10
rebounds, seven assists and
two steals. Kyle Brooker
and Joey Chapman had six
points apiece, with Brooker
adding four rebounds.
Senior Matthew Long
missed the game with
a shoulder injury; he is
doubtful for tonight’s
Senior Night game against
Sprague. His absence led
in part to Aaron Baune’s
first varsity appearance; the

Longtime Vikings head
coach Sherri Murrell was
fired on Feb. 18; at the
time, PSU had a 3-21
overall record. That said,
it’s not about a coach being
fired, even one who has
lasted eight seasons. It’s
not about the only openly
out coach in NCAA
Division I (Murrell has
spoken often and publicly
of her experience as a
lesbian in major college
sports) being fired. It’s
about firing a coach with
five games remaining in
her team’s season, as the
PSU administration did,
insisting that she leave
before the Vikings’ season
concludes.
There’s an old saying
among athletic directors:
what

immediately. Immediately,
however, does not apply
in-season. One more
example of poor decorum
for an athletic program that
seems to know nothing but.

Altman, Oregon men’s
basketball coach. Altman,
in conjunction with the
University of Oregon,
filed a counterclaim this
week against a woman
who accused three UO
men’s basketball players
of sexual assault. The
counterclaim refutes the
woman’s allegation that
Altman knew that one
of the accused, Brandon
Austin, had previously
been under investigation
for sexual assault at his
first academic destination,
Providence College.
Altman and the university
have a sworn statement
from Austin’s mother,
Tammy, stating that she did
not tell Oregon coaching
personnel about allegations
against her son. The woman
who accused the basketball
players stated that Tammy
Austin admitted to telling
Oregon coaches about
the investigation. There
is a serious gray area that
would merit legal and
procedural consideration.
Of course, that doesn’t
change the perception of
the situation: the University
of Oregon and its highpaid basketball coach
are suing a rape survivor
over Altman’s inability
to perform a background
check on a prospective
student-athlete, one of the
requirements of his job.
The 2014-15 iteration
of the Ducks upset No.
9 Utah on Sunday for its
20th win of the season,
likely securing a spot in
the NCAA Tournament in
the process. Altman will
collect $20,000 for the
privilege.
Oregon has never made
the NCAA Tournament in
three consecutive seasons,
and apparently Altman’s
winning touch is so
valuable that the state’s
flagship university will
spend tax dollars defending
it in court against a victim
of sexual assault.

Dayton first loss of season
Stull, Nelson shoot Amity
into 3A state playoffs
By ROBERT HUSSEMAN
By ROCKNE ROLL
INDEPENDENCE – Dayton boys
basketball is no longer undefeated.
So now what?
The Pirates lost the Class 3A West
Valley League playoff championship
game, 55-48, to Horizon Christian on
Saturday night to finish the regular
season and league playoffs at 25-1.
Dayton was awarded the No. 1 seed in
the OSAA Class 3A playoff bracket and,
of course, was recognized as regularseason champion. That the loss occurred
against the Hawks, the No. 2 seed in
Class 3A, lessens some of the sting.
“We want to win every game we
play,” Pirates coach Ron Hop said. “We
competed (against Horizon); we just
didn’t compete efficiently.”
Therein lies the most important truth
in Dayton’s defeat: if the Pirates are to
achieve their lofty goals in the 3A state
playoffs, they must continue to sharpen
their skills and execution.
“We just looked tired, not so much
physically as mentally,” Hop said. “We
looked rusty.”
Dayton started out well enough, scoring
on eight of its first nine possessions and
taking a 17-7 lead in the first quarter.
Horizon Christian guard Austin Forrester
drained a three-pointer in the final
seconds of the first quarter to cut the
Hawks’ deficit to seven before fellow
guard Trent Pihas took over offensively.
Pihas shared WVL Player of the Year
honors with Pirates guard Zach Bernards,
and the pair sparred throughout the game,
to the delight of the crowd at the Panther
Pit at Central High School. Bernards
struggled with his outside shooting but
made up for it with aggressive drives
to the basket, finishing with 16 points.
Pihas, however, made four of his eight
three-point attempts and scored 19 of his
game-high 29 points in the second half.
Dayton led 42-37 early in the fourth
INDEPENDENCE – Amity head coach
Justin Amaya listed out five keys to victory
before the Amity Warriors played Santiam
Christian in Saturday’s Class 3A West
Valley league third place game at Central
High School.
One of them was “swagger.”
“Swagger, which equals winning, which
equals fun,” Amaya explained. “Which
equals Coos Bay, hopefully.”
His Warriors are just one game away from
a trip to the south coast after securing a spot
in the 3A State Championship bracket with
a 48-43 win over the Eagles at the Panther
Pit to take the third seed from the WVL.
For Amity, Saturday was a bit of a grudge
match. The Warriors had lost both of their
regular-season contests against SC, and
Amaya said his players felt like there was
some unnecessary showboating by the
Eagles.
“I told them, ‘This is about pride today.
Go out there and show them that you’re
not going to put up with that nonsense.’
Dancing on the court, jumping up and
down, pounding your chest. There’s a spot
for that, but sometimes it’s just too much,”
he said.
There was no backing down to be seen
for either side through three up-and down
quarters. Jamie Stull knocked down three
triples in the opening three frames and
scored 14 points, tied for the team lead with
Lance Nelson, in what Amaya described as
one of his best games of the year.
“I saw the first one go down, and I
thought, ‘This might be my night.’ I just
kept the confidence high and kept shooting,”
Stull said. “Everybody had faith in me. It
was an awesome feeling.”
And while Stull provided critical scoring
in the first three frames, a laundry list of
Amity bench players upped their game to
provide the defense needed to keep it tight.
“Kolton Rohde had the best game of the
year for us,” Amaya said. “Jared Ojua,
Pirates guard Zach Bernards (11)

quarter but scored three points in the next
seven minutes, with Pihas and catching
the Hawks up. Horizon led 47-45 at
the three-minute mark when the Hawks
successfully passed the ball around to
drain two minutes of clock. Horizon
guard Trevor Tillema caught one pass on
a running stop but was not whistled for a
traveling violation, to Hop’s dismay.
David Parsons of Horizon finished the
possession with a basket with 49 seconds
remaining, and the Pirates had to foul to
give themselves a chance.
“We didn’t make the free throws and
layins when we had them in the second
half,” Hop said.
“We battled to the end. The only
disappointment is, we didn’t play our
best game.”
Guard Zach Spink “started the game
like gangbusters,” in Hop’s words, and
finished with 14 points. D.J. Flowers
contributed 10 points.

Charles Weigart. It was really our defensive

time to get Lance’s swagger going.”
“Swagger” is perhaps the best way
to describe Amity’s fourth quarter. The
Warriors opened the frame on a 13-1 run.
Santiam Christian set up a man-to-man
defense, and the Warriors saw an “open”
sign on the basket.
“The way we feel is that, when teams
go man, we feel really good,” Amaya said.
Nelson and Devin McShane beat a path
to the basket and scored 12 points in the
quarter, though the game drew close at the
end thanks to Amaya’s one disappointment
of the day – a 5-for-19 team performance
at the foul line.
“It felt amazing. We just kept grinding.,”
Stull said.

Haddeland, ‘Cats beat PLU
in game; Lutes take series
Linfield baseball ace
pitcher Chris Haddeland was
a preseason All-American.
Saturday afternoon, he
showed Pacific Lutheran
University why.
Haddeland spread out
seven hits without a walk
as he went the distance and
shut out the Lutes in a 3-0
victory for the Wildcats in
their Northwest Conference
opener at Roy Hesler Field.
A ninth-inning double
was the only time a Lute
got into scoring position on
Haddeland without the help
of a Linfield error, of which
there were three. Haddeland
struck out eight and allowed
multiple hits in an inning
just twice, finishing the job
in 119 pitches.
The ‘Cats offense backed
him up with the winning
run in the second; Jo Carroll
drew a leadoff walk and
came in on an RBI fielder’s
choice from Chance Laboda
after Scott Schepige’s
double put him on third.
Linfield’s added two more
for insurance in the fifth
when Eric Lawson’s oneout single was followed
by a stolen base and
consecutive doubles from
Ben Andrews and Carroll,
with Andrews driving in
Lawson and Carroll sending
Andrews home and sending
PLU starting pitcher Chris
Bishop to the showers.
Bishop was charged with
the loss, giving up four
walks and six hits in 4 1/3
innings.
The
Lutes
left
McMinnville with the last
laugh, though, as they took
the nightcap of Saturday’s
doubleheader 5-2 and won
the rubber match on Sunday,
6-3, packing a series win

By ROBERT HUSSEMAN
Exceeding Your Expectations
INDEPENDENCE – For three
quarters against rival Amity, Dayton
wing Teddi Hop had a shooting
performance to forget.
Hop, a junior, had made three
of her 13 attempted field goals
to that point. In the third quarter,
she had been whistled for traveling
twice while Amity parlayed a 23-18
halftime advantage into a 34-26
lead entering the fourth quarter.
“I told myself, I’d better start
hitting shots or we’re going to lose
this game,” Hop said.
Hop responded with 10 points
in the fourth quarter as the Pirates
forced overtime with the Warriors;
Shawnie Spink’s layup in the
waning seconds tied the game at
41. In the extra session, Hop made
a three-pointer on Dayton’s first
possession and the Pirates outlasted
Amity for a 48-45 victory.
“We’ve never played in such a
loud environment,” Spink said.
“We’ve never been district champs.
We put that pressure on ourselves.”
The Amity-Dayton rivalry lost
no luster in Saturday’s Class 3A
West Valley League playoff
championship game, transplanted
to The Panther Pit at Central High
School in Independence. The elated
Pirates (22-3) and disappointed
Warriors (22-5) were named
co-champions of the WVL in a
postgame trophy presentation. Even
if the Amity players did not feel
like co-champions, the trophy was
a veritable token of appreciation for
a strong performance.
“It’s a tough mental one because
we had them up by 10. They fought
back in,” Warriors coach Reg
McShane said. “The thing that hurt
was, we didn’t shoot well from the
free throw line.”
Amity made nine of 22 free
throws in the game, to be precise.
Not good. (Dayton fared little better,
shooting 7-of-14 from the line.) The
Warriors attempted six free throws
in the game’s final two minutes and
made only two of them.

her to scratch the 100-yard
freestyle to conserve energy,
but she also put up good
splits in the girls medley
relay and 200-yard freestyle
relay.
“We declared a false
start because she was still
sick. She was sick over the
whole weekend and did an
outstanding job on the relays
and that 100 back,” Hafner
explained. “To come back
and swim near her best time
and break a minute both
days, she’s really tough.

makes it doubly hard.”

To eaT:
Dayton guard Shawnie Spink (11) scored nine points against Amity.
Amity’s lead stemmed in large
part from driving to the left side of
the line, where the Pirates struggled
to stop the Warriors. Caitlan Dumler
(12 points) turned in an aggressive
performance off the bench, while
Maddie Worthington (eight points)
was the recipient of several passes
to the low block on drives.
“We weren’t pushing them to
their weak hand,” Hop said.
Hop finished with 22 points,
leading all scorers. Spink brushed
off a slow start of her own with
nine points, and Kalina Rojas added
the finals while the girls
short freestyle relay swam
a 1:42.19 in prelims and a
1:42.25 in the consolation
final tot take eighth place.
Those relays, both boys
and girls, had been a strength
for the Grizzlies all season.
“The boys in final won
the consolation heat, and
they all improved their times
from the day before. The
200 free relay, that was a
good race. That was a pretty
fast field,” Hafner said. “All
in all, I was happy. We were
hoping to get a couple more
swims. But we weren’t 100
percent healthy. I’m proud
of the kids.”
Between sickness and
the energy it took to sweep
the district championships,
the Grizzlies were not in
peak condition from top
to bottom, but they battled
through.

beat were top-10 teams

Gallery to open Mystery of Edwin Drood
Charles Dickens died before he
finished writing a thriller called
“The Mystery of Edwin Drood.”
No offense to Dickens, but that’s
actually a plus when it comes to
a stage play based on the partial
manuscript: It gives the audience
a chance to decide how the story
ends.
“The audience votes about who
the detective is, who the murderer
is — if there’s a murderer — and
who the lovers are,” said Seth
Renne, who is directing the musical comedy.
Gallery Theater will present
the uniquely crafted show Friday
through March 21 on its main
stage at Second and Ford streets
in downtown McMinnville. The
show starts at 7:30 p.m. Fridays
and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays.
Tickets are $17 for adults and
$15 for seniors and students. On
the first Saturday, Feb. 28, tickets

“Edwin Drood” has many elements of a traditional British
music hall production, Renne
said. It includes broad comedy,
farce, melodrama and slapstick.
There are lovers, villains and an
actress who makes her living as a
male impersonator.
“It’s Dickens; it’s dark,” Renne
said. “But the way it’s set up is
very, very funny.”
The play also uses the playwith-in-a-play format.

The show — the one Gallery

in newspapers at the time of his
death.
Some of the efforts maintained

McMinnville High science teacher Jared Larson standing on arctic tundra during the fellowship program trip.
By STARLA POINTER
Jared Larson saw his first
wild polar bears during a trip to
the Arctic in 2012 — big males
hunting for food and mothers
shepherding their babies away
from potential danger.
One moved within a few feet of
the National Geographic Explorer, the ship on which Larson
and other science teachers were
traveling through the icy waters,
which took them within 600
miles of the North Pole. “The
bear was curious,” the McMinnville High School teacher said,
acknowledging the feeling was
mutual.
The polar bear seemed to be
just as interested in the ship and
its passengers as the teachers
were in the Arctic wildlife. As
people clicked cameras from the
deck, the bear checked them out,
sniffing them before ambling off
across the pack ice.
Just another day in Svalbard,
the bear might have said if it
could talk. Ice. Cameras. Scientists.
But for Larson, it was anything
but. Getting an up-close look at
polar bears in the wild was an
awesome part of his fellowship
with the acclaimed Grosvenor
Teacher Fellow Program.
The program is designed to
give K-12 teachers first-hand
experience in geographic awareness and ocean stewardship.
He was paired with several
other fellows during the trip,
including a bear and bee expert.
“I brought the working-with-kids
aspect” to the learning experience, he said.
He said he suspects he was
chosen, at least in part, thanks to
his work with the McMinnville

Education Foundation on the
district’s science experiences program for elementary students.
Larson teaches a variety of
science courses at Mac High. The
current lineup includes forensic
science, forestry and advanced
placement biology.
In the latter class, he will
be using his Arctic trip as a
springboard for teaching ecology, thereby passing on what he
learned about geographic awareness and ocean stewardship.
Although he enjoys and values
what he does, he didn’t plan to
become a teacher.
He fell for fish as a child and
spent happy hours fishing with an
older cousin and his grandfather.
In school, he enjoyed science,
especially biology. Those interests led him to set his sights on a
career as a fisheries biologist.
He started college at the University of California at Davis,
then transferred to Linfield.
Linfield didn’t have a fisheries
biology curriculum, but it proved
a much better fit for him otherwise.
“I knew the professors, they
knew me,” he said. “It was awesome.”
Besides, he was interested in
a girl from McMinnville, Mindy
Legard.
After graduating in 1995,
Larson went to work in the
Oregon State University fish
lab while he searched for other
opportunities in fisheries. Then
he and Mindy, now married,
began to discuss the possibility
of his joining her in the teaching
field.
“I went and watched Chris
Chennell teach,” Larson said,
recalling the days he spent with
the longtime science teacher, now
retired. “Then I did my student
teaching with him.”
Not long after Larson joined
Mac High in 1998, Tony Vicknair, then assistant principal,
was formulating the school’s
new career pathways program.
He noticed Larson’s background
with fisheries biology, and chose
him to start a program in that
area.
Now his classroom includes
large fish tanks, as well as a
range of tools used in biological
sciences and the specific courses
he teaches: skulls and skeletons;
fossils and models; birds’ nests;
hardhats for the forestry program,
body outlines for faux murder
investigations in the forensics
class; even a cat-toy size stuffed
version of the E. coli bacteria.
Outsid,e there’s a small courtyard with a pond, small trees,
native plants and other flora.
Taped to his desk is a frequently
posted sign, “At Rotary Park. Be
back at end of period.”
To Larson, science is a core
subject, as important as reading
and math. It teaches key concepts
that everyone needs as a citizen
of the earth, a family wage earner
and a critical thinker.
“Your understanding of science
impacts how you interact with the
world on a daily basis,” he said.
People can use scientific skills,
such as interpreting graphs, to
make all kinds of judgments —
how much credence to give to
claims printed in a voter’s pamphlet, for example.
And knowing how the earth
works helps a person make
choices such as which type of
car to buy, whether to walk to
work or whether to buy local
products. That doesn’t mean

everyone has to make
the same choices, Larson
said; rather, that they have
the capacity to make an
informed decision.
He said he wants his students to discover ways to
care for the earth, its wildlife and oceans. They need
to understand that humans
always have an impact on
the places they visit or the
resources they use. “When you leave, could
someone tell if you’d been
there or not?” he said he
asks them, telling them
their goal is to “be in the
wild and not leave a trace.”
That’s something Larson and the other fellows
kept in mind when they
were exploring the land
and ice of Svalbard. Not
only did they want to protect fragile ecosystems, he
said, but they also wanted
to preserve the flora and
fauna for future generations.
“We were always cognizant of being intruders in
their space,” he said. “We
didn’t get close enough to
disturb them ... we wanted
to ensure we can experience this, and our kids can,
and their kids can.”
They spent most of their
trip on the Explorer, 3a
56-foot research ship.
The ship isn’t luxurious, he said. He bunked in
the same type of quarters
as the crew, a small, barebones cabin with a 12-inch
porthole.
But even with minimal
accommodations, the trip
was ripe with opportunities for a teacher, he said.
“No matter where you are,
there are amazing things to
flocks of seabirds.
There are no trees. Any
wood used by Svalbard’s
early residents washed in
on the tide from locations
as far away as the equator.
Today, lumber is shipped
in. And wood still washes
ashore from far flung places, Larson said.
So does beach trash,

‘I tell kids, your trash here will get to
the ocean. It may end up on a beach in
Svalbard or some other country, or it may
become part of the permanent collection
of garbage fouling the sea.’
see and bring back to show
others,” he explained.
The ship was based at
Longyearbyen, originally a
coal-mining town that has
reinvented itself as a tourist
destination.
The city is the capital
of Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago at latitude
78 to 80 degrees north
— northwest of mainland
Norway and northeast of
Greenland.
Glaciers cover parts of
the islands. Despite the
year-round chill, plants
grow — lichen, purple saxifrage and other hardy flora
that can survive the harsh
conditions. Larson’s photos
show some areas that are
a vibrant green with plant
life fertilized by the large
labels that easily identify
its origins — including
fast food wrappers from all
over the globe.
It’s a terrible thing to
see, he said, but the photos he took of beach trash
in Svalbard are a good
learning tool: They help
convince students about
man’s impact on the environment.
“I tell kids, your trash
here will get to the ocean,”
he said. “It may end up
on a beach in Svalbard or
some other country, or it
may become part of the
permanent collection of
garbage fouling the sea.”
Svalbard’s west side
is touched by the warm
West Spitsbergen Current,
which keeps the coast free
of ice. But to the north and
east lie sea ice where polar
bears live. That’s why the
islands, once known as
Spitsbergen, were renamed
with a Norwegian term
meaning “land of the white
bear.”
In the year Larson visited,
the ice had receded more
than in most years.
It changes constantly.
Larson said scientists look
at the thickness and density
of the ice over the long
run, rather than its spread
or decline from one year to
the next.
For the bears, though,
annual changes in pack ice
make a big difference.
The low level in 2012
meant many polar bears
were visible. While that
was good for visitors, who
wanted to capture them on
camera, it was bad for the
bears, which were forced
into the open in search of
food.
“They were starving,”
Larson said.
That meant the observers had to be extra careful
when they left the ship.
Humans could look mighty
tasty to hungry bears, he
noted.
In addition to polar
bears, Larson said, “We saw
all kinds of amazing wildlife.” Many species of birds,

said that might make him
sound like a lightweight
composer, but he’s really
created a great production
with “Edwin Drood.”
It’s a fun, but challenging, show for the cast. Each
actor must learn several
variations, which he or she
may or may not be called
on to perform on any given
night.
“We’ve staged and
rehearsed all of them,” said
Renne, adding that he is
“incredibly lucky” to have
such a wonderful cast.
The director appeared
in a production of “Edwin
Drood” when he was
studying theater at Western
Oregon University.
“You just never know
what the audience will do,
and that keeps it fresh for
the actors,” he said. “You
have to be prepared for
anything.”
The actors also need to
be prepared to sing songs
that flesh out their characters, so they must learn
several sets of lyrics to
accommodate the voting.
Each potential murderer,
for instance, has a song
that’s uniquely his or hers.
The live band also has to
be ready to play what the
audience requests.
Depending on how the
audience votes, the production can vary a little or a

They saw reindeer, as
well. Svalbard is the northernmost habitat for these
mammals, and they look
different here than they do
at more temperate latitudes.
The arctic reindeer have
adapted by developing
shorter legs and more
massive bodies. It helps
them retain as much heat
as possible.
They don’t need the long
legs of reindeer found in
warmer climates, Larson
said, because they don’t
have to depend on speed to
escape predators on the ice.
While the reindeer, polar
bears and other animals
were all memorable, he
said, a herd of walruses
was noteworthy for another
reason.
They are the smelliest
creatures he’s ever encountered. “Their whole diet is
shellfish,” he explained.
But the walruses didn’t
give the human visitors a
second glance — or even
sniff. “They just did their
thing,” he said.

School science teacher
Jared Larson enjoys
opportunities to take

with
science
experience field trips at
the elementary school
level as well.
He serves as district coordinator of the
experiences, such as
one in which kindergartners visit a meadow
to study bugs or another in which students
visit Miller Woods to
learn about soil, water
and other aspects of the
outdoors. “I’ve been
called the Miller Woods
guy,” he said, noting
that children remember
seeing him from year
to year.
Larson said the science experiences have
been great for students
of all ages.
The program depends
on Mac High’s environmental science classes
and students interested

themselves. They help
their younger peers
with experiments and
observations.
Larson said he has
also enjoyed working
with the adults who
staff the elementary science experiments: Ryan
McIrvin, who coordinates the high school
helpers; Teresa Crain,
who oversees each
experience; Michelle
Barf, who makes sure
students have the materials, equipment and
critters they need for
science projects; and
the district’s cadre of
elementary teachers.
The experiences give
him a chance to get out
in the field as well, as
do some of his high
school classes. And if
school doesn’t take him
outside, he goes out on
his own, as he loves
to fish, hike and enjoy
nature.

he said.

Having gathered from
all the pistol shots what
was going on, the express
messenger, a Mr. Butler,
readied his shotgun and
waited to see what would
develop.
Soon someone thumped
on his main door. “Open
up here, or I’ll blow you to
hell,” the robber yelled.
Cautiously leaning out
the other door, Butler cut
loose with a charge of
buckshot at the shadow
beating on the side of the
car — but he must have
shot high, because the robber whipped around and
fired at his muzzle flash.
The woodwork behind
Butler’s head splintered.
Butler pulled the trigger
again, but his second barrel
didn’t fire. Dodging back
into the car, he started feeling around for his box of
shotgun shells.
“As I was groping
around to find it he suddenly threw a big bomb in
the car, and I knew it was
time to get out,” Butler
told the Roseburg Plaindealer afterward. “I was
taking a good many chances to get out, but I knew
that if I had stayed there I
would be blown to pieces
the next minute. I jumped
out on the river side of the
car, a jump of about six
feet, and ran, gun in hand,
into the coach behind. The

explosion, splintering

because they worried about
being shot or “made” by
one of the passengers.
In any case, “the
passengers were not subjected to the mortification
and indignity, to say nothing of the financial loss,
of a ‘stand and deliver’
ordeal,” the Plaindealer
writes. “Nevertheless,
there was a hasty concealment of valuables and
those who were traveling

Western bandit, gave their

Washington, where he
apparently hoped to find
fresher pickings.
He did — and he found
something else, too. About
halfway between Tacoma
and Steilacoom in Washington, he threw down “the
gauntlet” on a streetcar
full of passengers and
started relieving them of
their valuables. One of his
victims — the superintendent of the streetcar line,
a Mr. Dame — pulled a
revolver on him. The air
for a moment was thick
with smoke and lead, and
when it cleared away, Mr.
Dame had been shot in the
arm and one of the passengers had taken a bullet in
his leg.
As for Jack Case, he was
lying in the gravel beside
the car, stone dead.

from one to nine. level: CHALLENGING
For the week oF February 23 — February 27
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There could be some negative
reaction to your tough stance when making a recent decision.
But overall, your efforts result in well-earned recognition and all
that can follow from that.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your financial situation seems
confusing, even for the fiscally savvy Bovine. Maybe it’s the
conflicting advice you’re getting. Check it out before things get
too tangled to unknot.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A relaxed attitude goes a long
way in helping you deal with any of life’s irritants that might be
popping up this week. You’re also a reassuring role model for
others in the same situation.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspect favors creativity,
which should persuade you to work on your artistic projects.
If time is a problem, prioritize your commitments so that your
work isn’t compromised.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Scrutinize all the job offers that
interest you. Most are honest and worth considering. But a few
might not be completely forthcoming about what the job is and
what the salary and benefits are.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unexpected snafu
could delay the completion of a project you’re eager to finish.
Find out what’s causing it, fix it, and if you need help, don’t be
shy about asking for it. Good luck.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An idea that could
be helpful to you comes from an unlikely source. Listen to it.
Discuss it. If necessary, adjust it. If it looks as if it might work
out quite well, go ahead and use it.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Be careful about
allowing someone to share a very personal secret with you.
This could cause problems down the line with others who are
involved in that person’s private life.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A cooling
down of a relationship could be the result of neglect, unintended
or not. To save it from icing over, you need to warm it up with a
large dose of hot Sagittarius passion.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This is a good
time to get involved with a number of family matters that involve
money and other issues that might jeopardize the closeness
between and among family members.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Cheer up. That
difficult person who appears to be deliberately stalling your
project might just need to be reassured of the value she or he
brings to it.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Good news! Expect to
feel re-energized now that you’ve gone through that stressful
energy-depleting period involving a lot of changes. Now, go out
there and show them what you can do.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a warm, giving nature that
inspires many to follow your example.
