That’sthanks to the inability of the WhiteHouse and Congress to figure out away to restore $85 billion in acrossthe-boardbudget cuts — known as“sequestration” — that took effect onMarch 1.AMMCON makes parts for the U.S.Navy’s submarines and aircraft carriers,and defense cuts forced by sequestrationare expected to hit aircraftcarrier construction and maintenanceprograms. As a result, therecould be a direct hit on jobs in Hillsboro.“The carrier and submarine programs,combined, account for half ofour annual sales,” Grow said. “Thebalance of our business is related tomanufacturing components for heavyequipment and pump manufacturing.Any delay or cuts in funding for theprogram will have a direct impact onour business and our employees’jobs.”Grow said he wasn’t interested inassigning blame for the latest fiscalcrisis in Washington, D.C., but his impatiencelevel is sky-high.“My personal opinion is that bothparties need to negotiate for the bestinterest of the country,” Grow pointedout. “Both parties agree cutting inParts foraircraft carriersare an essentialelement ofAMMCON’sbusiness.this fashion is a bad idea, but they areunwilling to take serious steps tosolve the problem.See AMMCON / Page A14By JIM REDDENThe Hillsboro TribuneUpdating the 2020 Vision, building aPublic Works building and fighting topreserve its share of economic developmentprojects are among the newtop priorities of the Hillsboro CityCouncil.The council set its priorities for 2013during a daylong retreat on Saturday,Feb. 23.

The dog’sappearance apparentlyenragedGeorgeAllen Mason,Jr., who was driving by with hiswife, Saraya Gardner.“The guy who attacked us,he was turning left and he wasalready yelling at us, saying‘You f—-ing fags, this is un-American, your poodle is thewrong color,” said Beltier. “Heinstantly speeds up, makes a U-turn, gets out of his car and heliterally hits me in the back —in the middle of the crosswalkon 185th.”Tool attackAccording to Beltier, Masonreturned to his car, grabbed along screwdriver or wrench,and returned to attack himagain, hitting him in the back ofthe head with it.“I was shouting at him to justknock it off, we didn’t do anythingto deserve this,” saidMark, who was holding Beautywhen the attack occurred. “Tojust get out of your car all of asudden because you don’tagree with someone’s pink poodle— that’s just unheard of.I’ve never seen such a thing —especially in such a busy intersectionin the middle of broaddaylight.”Other motorists immediatelycame to help, running Masonoff and getting his license platenumber.“It was just amazing. A lot ofthe community members herein Tanasbourne and Hillsborostarted honking their horns athim, shouting at him to knockit off and get off. One of themeven blocked his escape route.He tried to go in the oppositedirection of traffic to escape.And that’s how they got his licenseplate number.

Garner is charged withInterfering with a Police Officerfor her reluctance to cooperatewith the investigation.Beltier is pleased Mason ischarged with a bias crime.“I’m personally happy (to) apoint, but I also hope that whateverhe gets sent to, I hope theyput him through a program,maybe to teach him about diversity,counseling, letting himknow that this is not acceptable.It’s 2013, things change,”said Beltier, who did not requirehospitalization.Beltier is a Portland CommunityCollege student with a fulltimefood-server job. He movedto the area three years ago tobe with Mark. They live on theborder of Beaverton and Hillsboro,and the attack happenedin Hillsboro.As for their dogs being dyedunusual colors, Beltier said afemale friend suggested doingit for fun because he was feelingstressed out by work andschool.“All we used was Kool-Aidfor this.

The Hillsboro Tribune Friday, March 8, 2013NEWS A5GOING COUNTRYFOR THE CANNONSKurt Van Meter sings to aid jailed ex-cop’s Forest Grove familyKurt Van Meter of Tualatinis a Hillsboropolice officer, a singledad, a former rodeobull rider and a rising countrysinger.He’s also a loyal friend tojailed ex-cop Tim Cannon ofForest Grove, who buoyed himthrough some tough times severalyears back.Tonight, March 8, Van Meterwill play a benefit show at aHillsboro Elks lodge to help hisbuddy’s wife and children in thewake of a shootout five weeksago at Cannon’s home in ForestGrove.“Tim has helped me througha lot of personal stuff,” Van Meter,36, said Sunday. “When Iwas going through my struggleswith my ex, battling forcustody rights for my children,we would get our patrol vehiclesdoor-to-door and talk, ortalk when we would clear a call.“I went to Tim because he isa country boy from Montanaand I grew up around thetoughness of the cowboy culture.To me, Tim embodiedtoughness.”‘My heart broke’Lisa and Tim Cannon werethere for Van Meter when heopened for country rocker DavidAllan Coe three years ago inone of his first sold-out shows.“They were in one of the firstrows,” Van Meter recalled ofthat May 2010 performance inPortland’s Roseland Theater.Since then, Van Meter hasplayed to crowds of 5,000 atCountryFest in WaterfrontPark and shared the stage withblues singer Ty Curtis andAmerican Idol-bred singersBritnee Kellog and Crystal Bowersox.He hopes to break intothe big-time soon.Now, as Tim Cannon’s criminaltrial for assault and attemptedaggravated murderlooms in Washington CountyCircuit Court, Van Meter iscoming to the aid of his formercolleague and his family.“When I heard about whathappened, my heart broke,”said the divorced father of twoboys. “At the end of the day heis my brother. I choose to loveTim.”It was an easy “yes” for VanMeter when Alana Ambrose ofBeaverton, wife of Hillsboro PoliceOfficer Vin Ambrose, askedhim to play at tonight’s fundraiserdance for Lisa CannonSupporters, a group she createdto help the Cannons, whohave two young children.He accepted the invitationright away.“We want to create enoughcash flow for these guys so thata year or two years down theline, they’ll have something tofall back on,” Van Meter said.“The structure of Lisa’s life hasbeen shattered, so she has torebuild. The most tangible waywe can help is by raising moneyto support Tim’s family.“I believe we can come togetheras a community for thisfamily,” he added, “and there’sa tremendous amount of healingthat comes through music.”Volatile incidentLisa Cannon, a civilian employeeof the Forest Grove PoliceDepartment, called 9-1-1the evening of Jan. 20 to reporta domestic disturbance afterher husband, who she said hadSTORY BYNANCY TOWNSLEYbeen drinking, allegedly pinnedher to the floor inside theirhome on 37th Avenue. Shebroke free and locked herselfand their 6-year-old daughterin an upstairs bathroom whileTim Cannon exchanged gunfirewith officers from three agenciesin one of the most volatileshootouts in the last 20 years.No one was killed, and TimCannon eventually surrenderedto police.Van Meter — who grew up inKlamath Falls, played footballat Oregon State University androde bulls for the Beavers onthe collegiate rodeo circuit —said the incident was a symptomof the enormous amount ofpressure felt by those in lawenforcement.“It’s very stressful. Peopledon’t understand the checksand balances police officershave to go through on a dailybasis,” said Van Meter, whoworked for the Benton CountySheriff’s Office in Corvallis beforejoining the Hillsboro departmentin 2007.“Police work is a risk management-drivenculture now,”Van Meter said. “What we do isdangerous.”Tim Cannon’s commendationfile, released by Hillsboro Policeearlier this month, confirmsthat. It reveals numerousencounters with burglars, carthieves and neighborhoodprowlers. Cannon and anotherofficer won a “life savingaward” last year for an incidentin October 2011 in which theyhelped save the life of an injuredand suicidal man.A high-speed chase in Hillsboroand Cornelius on Nov. 21,2009, which ended with policekilling 28-year-old gunmanShawn Schumacher of Hillsboro,sorely tested Van Meter’sprofessional mettle — and sethim on a road to fulfilling a lifelongdream.“I remember seeing the barrelof his 50-caliber Desert Eagleand the muzzle flash (thevisible light of a firearmblast),” said Van Meter. “Hemissed me, obviously. But thatwas really the impetus for meto go do this music thing — lifeis short.”That close call, coupled withTim Cannon’s aberrant behaviorand subsequent arrest, havedeeply affected Van Meter andother officers.“Warriors have wounds,” hesaid. “We have psychologicaland physical wounds ... it’s justthe nature of our business.“I pray that the officers whoresponded to (the Cannon) callwill heal mentally and physicallyfrom what they wentthrough.”Dabbled in musicA country music fan since hewas a boy, Van Meter wouldsometimes sing as he walkedthrough the hallways at theHillsboro Police Department’sWest Precinct. “The guys wouldjoke, ‘Hey, don’t quit your dayjob,’” Van Meter said with alaugh. “But I still kind of dabbledin it.”Soon he was doing jam sessionsat Duke’s Country Barand Grill in Southeast Portlandand joining a group of aspiringElks danceLisa Cannon and her twochildren moved back intotheir home on 37th Avenuenear Forest Grove HighSchool Feb. 16, after volunteersrepaired bullet-damagedwalls. But the familystill needs help.So the Hillsboro ElksLodge, 21865 N.W. QuatamaRoad, is holding a benefitdance for the family from 7to 11 p.m. tonight, Friday,March 8.Tickets are $10 and mustbe purchased prior to theevent from CynthiaO’Donnell, 503-640-0409, orBonnie Hadley, 503-702-4004.musicians at the Rock CreekTavern on Old Cornelius PassRoad.“They had a guy with a bluegrassband, and each personthere would take turns gettingup and singing something,” VanMeter said. “It dawned on methat maybe I could do this.”In the last three years VanMeter has opened for nationallyknown artists Chris Young,Josh Thompson, MontgomeryGentry, Craig Morgan and Coe.The fact he’s been asked to joinsuch stellar company still boggleshis mind.“I feel like I’ve gained a followingby standing on theshoulders of giants,” the soloartist said.

A6 NEWS The Hillsboro Tribune Friday, March 8, 2013COMMENTARYPCC’s nextpresident isa key hirePortland Community College — Oregon’slargest educational institution — is aboutto settle on its next president. This decisionis the most significant one the PCCboard of directors will make for the next severalyears. It comes with inherent risk, but also opportunity.Selecting a leader for an institution of PCC’s importanceand complexity is tricky business. Theygot it right nine years ago when they hired PrestonPulliams, who is retiring at the top of hisgame.But we have frequently seen large public agencieswaste precious time and suffer damage totheir reputations after making the wrong choicefor a top administrator.PCC can’t afford to stumbleMeet thecandidatesAll three finalistsfor the PortlandCommuntiy Collegepresident’s post willbe meeting the publicat the RockCreek Campus eventcenter in the nexttwo weeks.■ Tod Burnett, 4p.m., March 11■ Jeremy Brown,2:30 p.m., March 14.■ Richard Durán,11 a.m., March 18.More details at pcc.eduwhen tens of thousands ofstudents depend on it to providethe skills they need tofind good jobs. With its threecampuses and seven additionalcenters, PCC’s contributionto the Portland area’sprosperity is immense.The college’s impact is evidentin Hillsboro, wheremore than 1,000 students aretaking classes at PCC’s RockCreek campus, a satellite facilityat the corner of 8th Avenueand Baseline.Located a few steps from adowntown light rail stop, theHillsboro Center offers easyaccess to an array of classes,from digital photographyand introduction to psychology to intermediate algebraand English as a second language.PCC’s connection to the city grew even strongerTuesday night, when city councilors agreed to kickin $100,000 to fund a new initiative aimed at shepherding50 low-income, first-generation college studentsthrough their entire higher educational careerby offering supplemental financial aid, personalcoaching and other academic support.Access to higher education is critical not only tothe students themselves, but to prospective localemployers who fuel the local economy.That’s why it’s vital now for the community topay close attention — and offer its participation— as the PCC board narrows its field from threepresidential finalists to one.Like a Swiss Army knife, a community collegemust be capable of multiple functions. So must itspresident. He or she is part administrator, partlobbyist, part fund-raiser and part cheerleader.Beyond that, PCC’s next president must besteeped in knowledge about higher education.All three finalists for the PCC job meet the basicrequirements. All have served as college presidentselsewhere. Success here in the metro area,however, won’t be dependent primarily on experience.Often, less tangible qualities — dogged persistence,humility and the ability to listen — arethe key to whether a public leader is a championor a flop.The next leader at PCC must continue to forgerelationships like the one city councilors movedforward this week in Hillsboro.And, the next president needs to be someonewho wants to remain in Portland and accomplishlong-term goals. Nothing of lasting consequencecan be achieved in a couple of years. So, the boardshould rule out any candidate looking at this jobas a short-term step to something better.PCC’s next president also must be able to maintainpositive relations with the board, the community,students and employee unions. That requirementshould exclude anyone who is driven primarilyby ego or a sense of individual — versuscollective — accomplishment.While the PCC board will choose the person toreplace the retiring Pulliams, the larger communityhas a role to play in the process. Beginningnext week, the public can meet with each of thethree candidates on various dates. These forumsand the ensuing public feedback will lead up tothe announcement of a new president in April.We have no doubt that all three candidates willdemonstrate the necessary skills, but what thepublic can help determine is whether the chemistryis right between the college community andthe person who would be its next leader.Gandhi’s words still resonate todayTuition equity is good forstudents, stateam a non-traditional college student atI Pacific University, who is strongly insupport of House Bill 2787, the tuition equitybill currently being considered by theOregon state Legislature. I have returnedto school after many years, and althoughthe price of tuition has been steadily increasingI am still able to attend.However, for many undocumented studentswho have lived in Oregon most oftheir lives, this opportunity does not exist.They are required to pay non-resident tuitionat our state universities, which overthe course of four years can equate to$114,000 at the University of Oregon, comparedto $37,000 for residents.The tuition equity bill will bring thesecosts within reason so that these studentswill be able to continue their education.This is not a “handout” and it is importantto understand that undocumentedstudents will still not qualify for federal orstate financial aid. They will have to meetthe same admission standards that areset for every student. This bill will alsoboost the revenue of our state universitieswhose budgets are stretched thin.I want to thank our state representativesfor passing HB 2787 through theHouse and urge the Senate to do thesame.These students are our neighbors, children’sfriends, and call Oregon home, sowhy not give these students access to theeducational opportunities they haveworked so hard for and deserve?Brenda TevisHillsboroRobotics team eyes futureThe American educational model of todaywas, in many respects, developedin the 19th Century, when the UnitedStates saw the need to prepare a workforcefor the industrial revolution. Theforesight to tie education to work forcewas instrumental in powering Americato become a world leader by creating apipeline of employees that, in turn, createdgreat national prosperity.Today’s work force needs are driven byGUESTCOMMENTRuss DonderoAs an undergrad at WhitmanCollege I wrote my thesis in1964 on the Indian independencemovement of 1947. I readextensively about Mahatma Gandhi andJawaharlal Nehru, who led India throughthis turbulent year.As a consequence I was very anxiousto hear Arun Gandhi speak at PacificUniversity’s Forest Grove campus lastThursday about his famous grandfather.One of his main points was that violencetakes two forms: passive violence and activeviolence.Passive violence happens when we dothings in everyday life that degrade nature,such as wasting resources of theEarth. Active violence occurs when wereact against someone who we feel hashurt or is a threat to us.In the former case, many things we doin everyday life are destructive to natureand to those who are harmed as a resultof such waste. Active violence can be inthe form of psychological or physicalharm to others.Arun Gandhi kept coming back to hispoint that how we react to a sense of injusticeor injury is a matter of choices wemake, not the result of a presumed inherentviolence within human nature.We often confuse conflict with violenceon either the psychological orphysical level. Conflict is a natural phenomenonof life. It’s part of the humancondition. Facing conflict can make usgrow stronger; it can also diminish us.Do we deny it, do we submit to it or dowe confront it on the interpersonal or sociallevel? If we embrace conflict as naturalbut take a stand against those formsof conflict that diminish us or others,then we can grow from it.Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. —a student of his teachings — added anotherdimension as to how we confrontviolence in the political world. Both advocatedand acted on the principles ofnon-violent resistance.In a world suffused with violence, it’shard to imagine non-violence. In theUnited States, non-violence is a hard sellgiven our history of revolutionary violence,civil war and military hegemony.And yet the most transformational movementin American politics, which continuesto shape us to this day, is the civilrights movement, guided by Gandhi’s visionof non-violent social transformation.While the dialectic of violence andnon-violence were a part of the politicallandscape in the 1950s and 1960s, it’sclear that the nation found the scenes ofBull Connor, his dogs and fire hoses morallyrepugnant.Sadly, change came with a high humanprice shouldered by the FreedomRiders, the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee, the Congress of RacialEquality and ultimately claimingMLK, as Gandhi in his day. But suchcourage, sacrifice and commitment toREADERS’LETTERSdigital, mobile computers, robotics andtechnology.Glencoe High School students understandwhere opportunities lie and are embracingSTEM (Science, Technology Engineeringand Math) studies — by buildingrobots — to prepare for the future.Today and tomorrow, the Glencoe roboticsteam (The Shockwave) will meetwith more than 60 teams from Oregonand Southwest Washington at Portland’sMemorial Coliseum in a tournament faceoffof six-foot-tall robots playing competitiveFrisbee golf.

Gandhi was a very savvy politicianand used non-violence strategically,as did MLK.It would be a disservice to the memoryof both these great men if we misunderstoodthat, like Jesus, their purpose wasto not merely help us transform ourselves,but to literally transform theworld.So yes, by all means work on makingyourself a better person, a less-violentperson in the myriad of ways imaginable.But ultimately this can only be done ifwe work together to create, as King said,“the beloved community.”Start with little acts of kindness. Butonly through collaboration can we notonly improve ourselves but also transformthe world. As King said the nightbefore he was slain, “I may not get therewith you, but I can see the PromisedLand.”That’s why I have a passion for politics,as frustrating as it can be. Withoutdemocratic politics there can be no nonviolentrevolution. Every day is a newday. If you can’t believe in that, then youare left with the bile of the cynic.Keep hope alive.Russ Dondero is professor emeritus, Departmentof Politics and Government, Pacific University.Read his blogs at russdondero.squarespace.com.The National Rifle Association tells usthat the only way to stop a bad guywith a gun is a good guy with a gun.Okay, but who’s stopping the good guys?Recently, the Hillsboro Tribune reportedthat a local good guy cop with multipleweapons terrorized his wife and child;then when 10 good guy cops arrived hethreatened to kill them. More than 50shots were fired, injuring two and tearingup the house. No bad guys in sight.Why, I ask the NRA, do their prescriptionson guns not make me feel more secure?George EvansForest GrovePipeline problems may neverhit Washington CountyCitizens of Washington and Yamhillcounties take heart with regard tothe natural gas pipeline issue.In Clatsop County, Oregon LNG is proposingto build their export terminal on,and run the pipeline through, shiftingsandy wetlands that have been drilled to350 feet without finding bedrock.The terminal is to be located directlyon the Pacific Rim earthquake zone. Theterminal (and start of the pipeline) is proposedto be located right at the mouth ofthe Columbia River, directly in the path ofthe resulting tsunami caused by an earthquake.But this may not happen first if a hurricanestrikes the proposed terminal site asone did December 1-2, 2007. Winds averaged119 mph for 34 consecutive hoursand topped out at 150 mph (think HurricaneKatrina).Upon leaving the terminal, the proposedpipeline is to pass under theWarrenton shopping mall, past the Lewisand Clark Fort Clatsop National HistoricRegister site and then through numerousslide areas on its way up to your area.So you see, the odds are that we in ClatsopCounty will suffer the ruptured pipelineexplosion, thus saving what is left ofyour land, after eminent domain is usedto force the pipeline through your area.Oh, did I mention the proposed terminaltower would protrude up and into theoften fog-shrouded Astoria Regional Airportspace?So, fight on!Carl DomineyAstoriaHillsboroTribune©2012 Hillsboro TribunePUBLISHERJohn Schrag503-357-3181jschrag@hillsborotribune.comEDITOR IN CHIEFKevin Harden503-546-5167kharden@HillsboroTribune.comADVERTISING DIRECTORHarvey Berkey503-357-3181hberkey@HillsboroTribune.comCIRCULATION MANAGERKim Stephens503-546-9818kstephens@commnewspapers.comSALES ASSISTANTKathy Fuller503-357-3181NEWSWRITERSJim Redden503-546-5131jredden@HillsboroTribune.comJennifer Anderson503-546-5138janderson@HillsboroTribune.comSaundra Sorenson503-546-0748biz@HillsboroTribune.comEDITORIAL ASSISTANTStephanie Haugen503-357-3181OBITUARIESobits@HillsboroTribune.comSPORTS EDITORStephen Alexander503-939-8896sports@HillsboroTribune.comWEB/PHOTO EDITORChase Allgood503-357-3181callgood@HillsboroTribune.comARTS EDITORJill Smith503-357-3181arts@HillsboroTribune.comWEBMASTERAlvaro FontanWEB SITEwww.hillsborotribune.comCONTACT503-357-3181P.O.

A10 NEWS The Hillsboro Tribune Friday, March 8, 2013TriMet: Open labornegotiations in question■ From page A1last Friday, dragging both the OregonDepartment of Transportationand a Multnomah County CircuitCourt judge into the fray. Results oftheir involvement remained unknownpress time, adding to growinguncertainty about the status ofthe relationship between the agencyand its union.State collective bargaining lawdoes not allow strikes by union ATU757. TriMet supports changing thatlaw this session to allow strikes insteadof mandatory arbitration, butthe union is opposed to it.TriMet has 2,052 employees whobelong to the union and 141 who donot. ODOT workers spent much ofMarch 1 inspecting portions of Tri-Met’s light rail system after theunion publicly declared it unsafe. Ina Feb. 22 press release, ATU 757President Bruce Hansen laid out aseries of accusations against boththe MAX trains and sections of thetracks.‘Life-threatening’ situationIn his letter and interviews withthe press, Hansen said over 100doors were in danger of falling offolder MAX trains because they arenot being properly maintained. Healso said drivers cannot see wellenough out of the new trains todrive safely. And Hansen complainedsections of the track in theLloyd District and near the GatewayTransit Center are so deterioratedthat TriMet has ordered drivers toslow down when approaching them.“The situation is life-threatening,and management is not listening tothe workers’ concerns,” Hansensaid. “What upsets our folks is thatTriMet has plenty of money to hireexcess numbers of highly-paidmanagers, but no money to keep upwith basic maintenance of the system.Management is willing tobleed the operations budget dry inorder to expand a light rail systemthat its workers know is fallingapart.”TriMet officials disputed Hansen’saccusations, saying the systemis safe. Safety and Security ExecutiveHarry Saporta said the trainsand tracks are receiving requiredmaintenance and scheduled repairs.And spokeswoman RobertaAltstadt dismissed the charges aspart of a dues-supported public relationscampaign by the union tomaintain its health benefits.“The ATU leadership has createdfalse claims about the safety of theMAX system,” Alstadt said. “Theseclaims are absolutely not true. Thisis all part of the ATU leadership’s$600,000 public relations smear campaignto divert attention away fromthe need to bring union health carecosts under control and reform thecontract.”ODOT had not released its findingsby press time.Contract questionsAs the inspection was occurring,attorneys for TriMet and ATU 757were appearing before MultnomahCounty Circuit Court Judge LeslieRoberts. TriMet has asked the courtto require the union to attend collectivebargaining sessions connectedto its next contract. Union officialsare refusing, saying TriMet will notopen them to the public, as requiredby state law. TriMet denies thatstate law requires collective bargainingsessions to be open to thepublic.During a nearly two-hour hearing,Roberts and the attorneysparsed the meanings of words andphrases in two sections of Oregonlaw. One covers public collectivebargaining, which says labor negotiationsmust be conducted in openmeetings.The other covers open meetings,which only requires them of thepublic governing bodies. Union attorneyGregory Hartman arguedthat TriMet’s negotiating team is agoverning body, while TriMet attorneyErik Van Hagen countered thatit is not.No other government in Oregoncurrently opens its labor negotiationsto the public, including the cityof Portland and Portland PublicSchools.Roberts gave both sides untilMarch 8 to submit additional briefs.She did not set a deadline for herruling.Clackamas Countyofficial wows WEA crowdJohn Ludlow pledges towork with WashingtonCounty, Metro in futureBy JIM REDDENThe Hillsboro TribuneClackamas County Chairman JohnLudlow unexpectedly stole the spotlightat the February meeting of the WestsideEconomic Alliance by pledging to workwith other governments in the region.Ludlow made the statement after beingasked if he had any comments following apresentation on legislative priorities forthe Port of Portland and Clackamas andWashington counties. Moderator EdTrompke, a land-use attorney, singled Ludlowout in the audience as the meeting waswinding down.Standing to face the crowd of elected andbusiness leaders, Ludlow admitted thatmany political observers thought theClackamas County Commission would descendinto chaos after he defeated ChairwomanCharlotte Lehan and Tootie Smithdefeated Commissioner Jamie Damon inNovember. Ludlow countered that althoughthe five-member commission had engagedin a few “spirited debates,” it had consistentlycome together to support the prevailingside.“I’ve been on the losing side of a few 3-to-2 votes myself and I accept that,” Ludlowsaid.Washington County Commissioner AndyDuyck thanked Ludlow for his comments,saying his appearance at the meeting heraldedthe opening of an ongoing dialogueover regional issues.“I applaud the spirit ofcooperation. We are a region.None of us standsalone,” Duyck said.The question of thecounty’s role in the regionarose after Gary Schmidt,its government affairsmanager, said a majority ofLUDLOW the commission would bein Washington, D.C., thisweek to lobby for the transportation prioritiesset by the Joint Policy Advisory Committeeon Transportation of Metro, theelected regional government. Trompkepointed out that the commission does notsupport all of JPACT’s priorities. Ludlowand Smith ran against TriMet’s Portlandto-MilwaukieLight Rail Project, whichJPACT endorsed.Schmidt responded that CommissionerPaul Savas, the county’s representative onJPACT, had been allowed to state their positionon the issues, then agreed to supportthe prevailing side. Ludlow concurred, sayingthat people can disagree without beingdisagreeable.The WEA is a nonprofit organizationcomprised of governments and businessesin western Clackamas and Washingtoncounties. It discusses current issues atmonthly breakfast meetings at the EmbassySuites Hotel in Tigard.In addition to Schmidt, the other presenterswere Washington County governmentrelations manager Jonathan Schlueterand Port of Portland regional governmentrelations manager Lise Glacy. Allthree of them said preparing industriallands for development, and increasingfunding for public schools were top prioritiesof the 2013 Oregon Legislature.IF IT’S ON PAPER, WE CAN PRINT IT!Spring 2012gardeningngeloA withPamplin Media Groupand AutoTrader.comjoin forces to put youin the driver’s seat.Color Your Gardena Petitti exclusive collection!Container Gardeningmore impact - less work p21Annuals,Perennials & NurserySee what’s NEW for ‘12Patio-tastic!turn your patiointo a vacationdestinationIf you are in need of customprinting, give us a call!It doesn’t matter what the piece is, or how you plan to distribute.

A14 NEWS The Hillsboro Tribune Friday, March 8, 2013AMMCON: Uncertainty puts brakes on orders■ From page A1Delaying the overhaul of anaircraft carrier — a multi-billion-dollarship critical to ournational defense — is a veryshort-sighted and poor decision.”Strong militaryEmployees at the AMMCONplant, just north of Highway 26on West Union Road, expressedworry about their jobsas well as frustration with thepolitics of the federal government.“I’m“Everythinghas to be apartisan fight.It’s ridiculous.It’skindergarten.”— Randy Growconcerned,obviously,”said RayBerovic, amachinistwho hasbeen withthe companyfor 20years. “Itcould affectourjobs. Not only that, but our nationalsecurity also. That’s a bigconcern of mine. I feel verystrongly that it’s very importantto have a strong military.”Berovic said the federal governmentcould find other areasto cut that would not have suchdevastating impacts on employmentand military readiness.“I’d like to see the government,on both sides, work togetherwithout butting heads,”said Berovic. “This has beensteady employment for me, andI’d hate to see people lose theirjobs. Anybody not worriedshould be.”AMMCON, which has been inbusiness since 1973, currentlyemploys 45. If the current cutbacksstand, many of those employeescould lose their livelihoods,and Grow said the sandin the hourglass was runningout.“If Congress does not restorefunding, we will definitelyhave to cut staff,” Grow explained.“The news on Feb. 8that the overhaul of the USSAbraham Lincoln would be delayedis placing jobs in jeopardy.Since that decision was announced,additional contractswe expected to receive havebeen delayed indefinitely. Wecurrently have enough businessto maintain our workforce for approximately sixweeks at current levels beforelayoffs will be necessary.”“We could lose 25 percent ofour staff is my guess. About 10people,” said Randy Grow,AMMCON’s vice president.“The military orders have alwaysbeen a constant and abuffer, but the backlog is nolonger there. And if we get tothe point where shipyardsclose and dismantle — to try toget that back again? I don’tknow how you would get thatback.”Darrell Grow added that theheavy-handed budget slashingcould have a counterproductiveeffect, and end up costingtaxpayers even more money inthe long run.“Our company is one of morethan 2,000 suppliers in thiscountry that support aircraftcarrier construction. Thesesuppliers have unique and criticalskills that are in jeopardy,”he said. “For example, we haveNavy-certified welders. To becomecertified, you need to bean exceptionally skilled welder,and then you must pass amultitude of tests that takeRay Berovic,who has workedas a machinistfor AMMCON for20 years,believes thedefensecutbacks thatwent into effecton March 1 notonly threatenlocal jobs, butalso couldweaken thenation’ssecurity.HILLSBORO TRIBUNEPHOTO:DOUG BURKHARDTmonths to perform and tens ofthousands of dollars to certify.“If we have to lay off thesewelders, critical skills will belost. And when the Navy doesdecide to continue the program,they will experience delaysand increased costs.”Orders downTom Lingelbach, AMMCON’swelding foreman, said he hasalready seen a downtick in ordersbecause of doubts aboutwhether funding will be availablein coming months.“Our orders are way down,”said Lingelbach, who has beenwith AMMCON since 1997.“We usually don’t see ordersthis slow until December. Evenour commercial business hasslowed down. This has createdso much uncertainty.”Lingelbach said some of hiswelders who have been certifiedto weld for the Navy havebeen put to work on commercialjobs — which they areoverqualified for.“It takes so long to get someonecertified for military welding,and I don’t know how longwe can keep them working,”Lingelbach said.U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici(D-Ore.), who represents thecongressional district that includesHillsboro, blasted herfellow representatives for theirinability to work toward a responsiblesolution. She warnedof serious economic impacts tothe state and to the district sherepresents if funding is not restored.“Once again, Congress’ failureto do its job may lead tothousands of Oregonians losingtheir jobs,” Bonamici said.“Oregonians don’t want to seepartisan battles. Familiesthroughout our state continueto struggle because of laggingeconomic growth, a lack of jobsand underfunded schools.“They sent us here to fixthese problems, but insteadCongress has become the problem.”Randy Grow said he is disgustedwith the inaction he’sseeing in Washington, D.C.“Everything has to be a partisanfight,” he said. “It’s ridiculous.It’s kindergarten.”Dan DeHaven, a machinistwith AMMCON for the past 13years, put the ongoing partisanbattles in the nation’s capital inperspective.“We have to cut something,but there are places to cutwithout leaving an aircraft carriersitting unfueled,” DeHavensaid. “It seems like theywant to do that to see how I’llvote. It’s stupid. It’s a 2 percentcut, which we can afford, butdo it in the right areas.

NEWS A15The Hillsboro Tribune Friday, March 8, 2013Intel helps bring film ‘Girl Rising’ to Portland■ Global effort brings filmabout educating girls to OregonBy RACHEL SEIGNEURThe Hillsboro TribuneThe Intel campus istypically known to bethe high-tech SiliconValley of Hillsboro,but for decades the companyalso has invested in educationalopportunities for childrenin the U.S. and aroundthe world.Most recently, the companyformed a partnership with10x10, a New York-based globalsocial action campaign, tobring the film “Girl Rising” toPortland.The feature film, which premieredMarch 7, follows ninegirls in nine developing countriesaround the world.The girls share their ownjourneys as they pursue theireducational dreams, and thefilm shows how those dreamscreate a ripple effect andchange the world aroundthem.Recent international newsabout the educational plight ofyoung girls in developingcountries came into focus aftera violent incident in Pakistanlast October.Teenage activist MalalaYousafzai, a Pakistani girl,stood up against the Talibanfor girls’ rights to an education.She was shot by a memberof the Taliban, accordingto news reports.The 15-year-old spent fourmonths recovering from herinjuries in a hospital andspoke on camera last monthfor the first time since survivingthe murder attempt.The United Nations set asone of its Millennium DevelopmentGoals that by 2015, bothboys and girls in developingcountries would be able tocomplete at least elementaryschooling — which is not thecase for girls now.According to the United NationsEducational, Scientificand Cultural Organization(UNESCO), 39 million girlsworldwide are currently notenrolled in school and are denieda secondary education.But there is hope, advocatessay.“Education is a powerfulcatalyst for change,” saidJill Eiland, a Northwest regionspokeswoman for Intel.Elizabeth Nye, executive directorof Girls Inc. of NW Oregon,will speak on a panel afterthe Portland film premiere.She says the movie is relevantfor Portlanders because harassmentin school is a majorproblem for girls everywhere.“What girls around theworld are experiencing is notthat different from what girlsare experiencing here in theU.S.,” she said.The film, directed by LosAngeles-based Richard Robbins,follows a young Cambodiangirl named Sokha, whoescaped the garbage dumpwhere she lived as an orphanto become one of the top studentsat her school.It also follows Ruksana, livingon the streets of Calcutta,India, who was given a chanceto escape those streets whenGirls check videoat a World Visiondrop-in centerin India as partof the film ‘GirlRising,’ whichfollows the livesof young womenin ninedevelopingcountries.she attended school.Then there is Suma fromNepal, who at the age of 6 wassold into forced labor but whonow uses her education tofight for other girls’ freedomin her native country.

I am confident Michaelwill use a recruitment processthat attracts the best and brightestin law enforcement. Hillsborodeserves no less.”Tensions related to hiringNo reason was given for Sullivan’sdeparture. He will be out ofthe office on vacation leave thisweek, according to city officials.However, the wording of Sullivan’sletter — he noted the “controversythat surrounded the recruitmentprocess” related to hishiring in 2010 — points to possibletensions within the policedepartment regarding the choiceof Sullivan.Sullivan, who was hired bythen-City Manager Sarah JoChaplen, previously served asthe police chief of Woodland, Calif.,and came with nearly 30years of law enforcement experience.“I made a decision to conducta national recruitment processopen to both internal and externalcandidates,” Chaplen explainedin a June 1, 2010 pressrelease announcing the selectionof Sullivan. “My goal has alwaysbeen to fill this important positionwith the person who bestfits the needs of our world-classpolice department and community.Chief Sullivan’s commitmentto working closely with thecommunity he serves, combinedwith his extensive law enforcementexperience, complementsthe established values of our policedepartment.”In a Monday press release announcingSullivan’s resignation,Brown said Sullivan “strove forprofessionalism and led with integrity”during his time at thehelm of the Hillsboro Police Department.“We wish him well in his futureendeavors,” Brown added.Union president happyNot everyone expressed regretto learn of Sullivan’s departure.The resignation was welcomedby the president of theunion representing the city’srank-and-file police officers.Hillsboro Police Officer PaulHess and attorney Mark Maklersaid relations between Sullivanand the officers had become increasingly“strained” over time.They said some of the problemswere the result of new policiesand procedures adopted by Sullivanthat they believed rancounter to the department’s traditionalcommunity policing approach.“The department was growingFor fastcash!2245 Baseline St., Cornelius(Across from Fred Meyer)503-530-8119State Licensed PB-03880686.071812Openeverydayat 9 a.m.more interestedin process andnumbers andless interestedin the well-beingof its employees,”saidHess, presidentof the HillsboroPolice OfficersLOUIEAssociation(HPOA).“Before Sullivan, the police departmentpracticed communitypolicing. Sullivan said he wanteda patrol-oriented department,which doesn’t work in Hillsboro,”added Makler.As proof of the growing strain,both Hess and Makler pointed toa lawsuit and two unfair laborpractice complaints filed againstthe city of Hillsboro by theHPOA. The men declined to discussthem in detail because theyhave yet to be resolved. The lawsuitis scheduled to go to trial inearly April.Hess and Makler said they didnot know what role, if any, unionactions played in Sullivan’s departure,adding that they arelooking forward to working withinterim Police Chief Ron Louie,who headed the departmentfrom 1992 to 2007 and hasstepped in as interim chief in thewake of Sullivan’s departure.They said both Louie and LilaAshenbrenner, who succeededhim, had better relations withthe community than Sullivan.Ashenbrenner retired in 2010and was succeeded by Sullivan.Cell phone snagThe lawsuit and complaintsstem from an on-duty automobileaccident by Officer DavidMorst in September 2012. Morsttold Washington County Sheriff’sdeputies who respondedthat he was distracted by his cellphone.The Hillsboro Police Departmentinitiated an internal affairsinvestigation into the accident,and demanded the phone.Morst declined to turn it overwithout being subpoenaed, citingprivacy concerns. Morst andHPOA then went to court to preventthe department from obtainingthe phone without a subpoena.They have so far obtaineda temporary restrainingorder and a preliminary injunctionagainst the city from twoWashington County CircuitCourt judges.In early December 2012, thedepartment adopted a new policyrequiring employees to turnover their cell phones under certainconditions without subpoenas.HPOA filed an unfair laborpractice with the EmploymentRelations Board against the cityon Feb. 1 for not negotiating thepolicy with the union as requiredby the current collective bargainingagreement.HPOA filed a second unfair laborpractice agreement twoweeks later, charging that thecity was refusing to reimburseHess and two other departmentemployees for time spent testifyingunder oath during a depositionsrequest by the city for thelawsuit. The three had been subpoenaedby city attorneys.Freecheckupcould saveyour life.The Tuality/OHSU Cancer Center isoffering a free head and neck cancerscreening clinic to help WashingtonCounty residents with early detectionand prevention of these treatable cancers.9 a.m. to noonSaturday, March 16Tuality/OHSU Cancer Center299 SE 9th Ave., HillsboroFree!No registrationrequired.For more information,call 503-681-4200 or visitwww.tuality-ohsu-cancercenter.org2023.030813Louie named interim chiefThe city is already gearing upfor the process of finding a newpolice chief. Louie, who wasnamed to lead the police departmenton an interim basis as thecity launches its search for a permanentreplacement, started inhis new role Monday.“Bringing in Louie was part ofmy activities over the weekend,”Brown explained. “I gave him acall and he was excited to step upin an interim role. Louie metwith the staff and everyone ishandling it positively and professionally.Chief Louie already hasthe respect ofthe staff. He“It was hispersonaldecision. Itwas hiscall, and Irespect it.He’s goingto bemissed.”— City ManagerMichael Brownhas a lot of experience,and Iwas pleased hewas able to stepin on a quicktimeframe. Hehas a lot ofcredibility.”“I’m a fan ofRon Louie,”said Rouches.“He and I thinkthe same. He’svery innovative,very communicative.”Rouchesadded that he believes city administratorshave tried to keepthe police department from talkingabout the resignation orabout what might have gonewrong between Brown and Sullivan.“City Hall has told us, ‘It’s oursto talk about, not yours,’” Rouchesexplained. “There were discussionsbetween the city managerand the chief, but I don’tknow what they were about.”Chief’s letter: ‘Much remains unfinished’Brought to you by this newspaper in partnership withIf nobody knows what’s going on,nobody can do anything about it.This is the entire text ofHillsboro Police Chief CareySullivan’s letter of resignation,sent to City ManagerMichael Brown on Friday,March 2:I have reached the difficultdecision to resign from myposition with the city effectiveMarch 9, 2013, in order topursue other interests. It hasbeen my honor to serve thecity of Hillsboro as its chief ofpolice for the past two andone-half years. I am pleasedwith the many accomplishmentsand initiatives by HPDstaff over the past few years,though I regret that much remainsunfinished. I hope andtrust you will continue tosupport these initiatives andspecifically the project toprovide long-term facilitiesfor the Police Department.My time at Hillsboro hasbeen exciting and full of challengesbeginning with thecontroversy that surroundedthe recruitment processwhen I was hired, and ofcourse others. HPD staff roseup to meet these challengesand I know they are preparedto face the challenges that lieahead.As I depart I am comfortableknowing that the staff ofHPD is committed to the deliveryof excellent police services.From the onset I havebeen impressed with the caliberof staff at the HillsboroPolice Department. They aresome of the brightest andmost capable police staff Ihave seen in more than 34years of law enforcement.I would like to thank thecity of Hillsboro for the opportunityafforded me andwish you all the best.Sincerely,Carey F.

The Hillsboro Tribune Friday, March 8, 2013NEWS A17arts &ENTERTAINMENT‘Comical Gallant’ returns after 300-year napBag&Baggagetakes on ‘MerryWives’ adaptationBy EMILY JENSENThe Hillsboro TribuneBy CARI HACHMANNThe Hillsboro TribuneCOURTESY PHOTO: CASEY CAMPBELLJohn Falstaff (Gary Strong) enjoys the antics of Anne Page (ArianneJacques), Mistress Ford (Megan Carver) and Mistress Page (CassieGreer) when Bag&Baggage performs an updated version ofShakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” comedy in Hillsboro.John Dennis’ script“The Comical Gallant”hasn’t been performedon stage since 1709.Now, more than 300 years later,it will come to life again atthe Venetian Theatre in Hillsboro— but this time with atwist.“We are doing it in the styleof a black and white 1950stelevision sitcom,” says directorScott Palmer, who haslaced Dennis’ script —itself anadaptation of Shakespeare’s“The Merry Wives of Windsor”—with live-action jingles,Mad Men-inspired decor, andsharp 1950s-style costumes. Totop it all off, the entire productionwill be done in grayscale,with everything from themakeup to the props designedto mimic the look of black andwhite television.“The text itself has a lot ofthis whittling down of layersand getting to the singular focusof the characters,” saidCassie Greer, who will beplaying Mistress Page. “AndScott discovered that correspondedreally well with thewhole acting approach of1950s television.”That approach is simplerthan the more “psychological”acting training performers receivetoday, Greer said.“It’s soft characters, it’sphysical comedy,” she said.“It’s big, it’s a little bit brash,but also a lot of fun.”The amalgam of Shakespeare,Dennis, and Palmerinfusedtheater culminates inthe lengthy title: “The MerryWives of Windsor, or the AmorousAdventures of the ComicalKnight Sir John Falstaff.”Though the action of theplay is set in mid-20th centuryManhattan, the bones ofShakespeare’s original plot remainintact. Anne Page,daughter of the influentialMaster and Mistress Page, isin love with Mr. Fenton. Herparents, however, have otherplans for Anne, each wishingfor her to marry a differentsuitor. Anne calls on the titlecharacter, Sir John Falstaff, tohelp create a series of diversions,and hilarity ensues.The show pays homage to“not only the stylistic time period,but also a very particulartime in media history,” saidset designer Megan Wilkerson.Just as Dennis’ adaptationreflected his Restorationerasensibilities, so does themonumental shift from radiobasedentertainment to televisionin the 1950s.Palmer believes that thoseearly years of television paralleledthe work of 18th Centurydramatists like Dennis, whoappropriated “a previous era’sentertainment for use in anew time, and altered it fornew artistic sensibilities,”much like adapting Shakespeare.Gary Strong, who plays Falstaff,has enjoyed the processof developing his character inthe context of 1950s-style acting.“Right off the bat I took himto be a braggart with an egothat would not quit. He is veryconfident in himself and hisactions, and it shows in eachstep,” he says. “The ’50s performancestyle helps with thisphysicality. Every movementis fluid, specific and slightlyelongated.”Strong has reveled in researchingthe golden age oftelevision in preparation for‘Dance yoga’ comes to arts centerDance demoKalabharathi Dance Company performsat 2 p.m. Saturday, March 3at the Walter Cultural Arts Center,527 E.

She opened herschool in 1981 to carry out thetradition and teach children asyoung as six the classical SouthIndian dance, Bharathanatyam.Decked out in traditional, vibrantsilk costumes and jewelrythat marks the body’s acupuncturepoints, 40 Kalabharathicompany dancers and two double-headeddrum players (mridangists)will perform atthe Walters Cultural Arts Centerin Hillsboro Saturday afternoon.In India, Vanka said, dancesupposedly has mythological beginnings,handed down to humansby Lord Shiva, the God ofDance.Classical Indian dance isbased on something deeperthan movement, said Vanka. Referredto as “dance yoga,” it isrevered as an art form thataligns mind, body and spirit.There are five classical danceforms in India each distinct totheir own region and all detailedin a 2000-year-old Sanskrit textcalled the “Natya Shastra.”Comparable to Aristotle’s “Poetics”and attributed to the yogilikeSage Bharata, it is a completeliterary work on drama,dance and music, and is arguedto be the foundation of fine artsin India.Portions of the text are requiredreading for students atVanka’s dance school.This is where students learnthe many intricacies that makeup Indian dance. Children learnhow to express the eight principal“rasas” or emotional responses— love, pity, anger, disgust,heroism, awe, terror andcomedy — through facial expressions,hand gestures andbody movements.The goal is for the dancers toconnect to the audience nonverbally.“You lead the audiencein a very happy state of mindand that happiness is broughtout by the quality of the dance,”Vanka said.The dance is always accompaniedby classical music, drumsor the sitar.It a takes students about sevenyears to master the basics beforethey are ready for their firstsolo performance. The event iscelebrated as a graduationwhich reflects the child’s abilityand discipline and parents’ commitmentto the art.Last year, Kalabharathi witnessedits first ever Indo-Americangraduate: a child with an Indianmother and an Americanfather. “That’s a counting glory,”said Vanka. “These children aretruly the pioneers because theyare carrying the art form forward.”With two branches in thePortland area, The KalabharathiSchool of Dance enrolls about 60students between the age of 5and 17. It is recognized by manyof the Indian cultural organizationsin Portland as the premierschool of dance with a high caliberof graduating students.Company dancers perform inschools, at community eventsand international festivals aswell as with other local multiculturalperformance groups suchas Portland Taiko and Ten TinyDances, which performs in Beaverton.“The most important thing isfor more people to see the innerbeauty of the dance,” said Vanka,“and when dancers aretrained well that comes out automatically.“If you can bring happinessand peace to this world for evenone hour, then you’ve done yourjob.”Now on stage■ “Merry Wives” plays at 7:30p.m. Thursdays, Fridays andSaturdays and at 2 p.m. SundaysMarch 7 through 24 at theVenetian Theatre, 253 E.

In fact, the troupe hasmade such a strong impressionon audiences that the cityof Hillsboro awarded the companya $30,000 grant to put towardits productions in 2013.“Scott grew up in Hillsboroand has very deliberately decidedto keep this company inHillsboro,” said Greer. AlthoughPortland holds biggeraudiences and a wealth of actors,it’s important to Palmerto keep his own exuberanttake on theater in his hometown.“Theater is not just somethingthat you go and sit inthe audience and watch andare removed from,” addedGreer. “It’s really interactive.There are real people right infront of you, and that’s a living,breathing exchange.”H BUFFETOpen7 Days/Week50Thursday thruSaturday10am - 5pmor byAppointment398486.021413March Irish SpecialCorned Beef Hash & EggsOne of our very tasty Breakfast Specials...this hash is made with our own slow-roastedcorned beef and topped with two eggs.Served with choice of toast and a sideof creamy horseradish sauce.See all specials: www.reedvillecafe.com7575 SE TV Hwy, Hillsboro OR | 503-649-4643International Super Buffet% OFF!20% to 50% OFFENTIRE INVENTORY503-359-1006 Cell: 503-550-3155robsteevesimports@gmail.com2331 23rd Avenue (corner of 23rd and Cedar)WWW.ROBSTEEVESIMPORTS.COM2017.0308132015.0227131959.022013LOWER PRICES: TICKETS, CONCESSIONS & 3D!
