Craft Center to move to new home soon n

Fond memories of old facility linger as crafters look forward to new home

By Alex Cameron THE DAILY BAROMETER

Covered in clay, several crafters sit working their mound into something beautiful. Skilled hands shape formless gobs, teasing the material as it whirls before them. Five-gallon buckets filled with glaze drip and gush. The room is earthy and warm from the kiln, and quiet pervades the space: Everyone is completely absorbed in their art.

At the Oregon State University Craft Center, community members, students, faculty and staff enjoy the pleasures of crafting in a workspace that offers all they need. The center includes materials and equipment for many different crafts, including glasswork, sewing, silkscreening and woodworking, all right at their fingertips.

The facility is open to all members and offers classes from the beginning to the advanced level.

A membership fee is charged to all new members, but classes are optional (and ungraded), and the payment gives access to each shop once a safety orientation has been completed. The facility is open seven days a week and late on weekdays in order to accommodate the sleepless schedules of the students who use it.

Winter term, the craft center will be moving to the new student experience center, which is currently under construction. The shift will be to a smaller, but nicer space on Southwest Jefferson Way. Crafters will be moving to the basement of the new SEC building and are optimistic about the change of scenery.

“We’re looking forward to it,” said Marilyn Hinds. Hinds co-teaches stained glass with Sally Ishikawa and has been coming to the craft center for 11 years. She has seen the place evolve over the last decade, and now she will witness a complete

change in facilities.

There are benefits to the move. The current home of the craft center has been experiencing some plumbing issues, causing small floods when the sinks don’t drain properly. The place is quite old and has had problems with draining.

Additionally, the frequent use of the space causes accumulated buildup of residues from the various crafting processes. The members are grateful that they will have access to clean workspaces that are free of wear and tear and toxins. Nonetheless, they have a lot of good things to say about the old facility.

“The Craft Center is a good way to get in touch with your creative side, especially for programs that are mathematically or scientifically focused,” said Ann Bernert, a senior in bioresource research and international studies. “You get your clothes messy in all the right ways.”

Bernert started with the Craft Center as a freshman. She focuses mainly on ceramics, but wishes to do woodworking in the future.

Angela Leff, a stained glass crafter, uses the Craft Center as well.

“I don’t know of any other place like this where you can go and use so many different things,” Leff said. “It’s inspiring to see all the different work people are doing here.”

The move to the SEC will bring the Craft Center closer to the Student Events and Activities Center and Associated Students of Oregon State University. The new building will allow most aspects of student life to be jampacked into the same area.

Student Health Services recommends flu shot Sleeper sharks may be surprise Flu shots protect individuals, help create group immunity

By Lynda Bradley THE DAILY BAROMETER

As the wet winter weather moves into Corvallis, a chorus of coughs and sniffles on campus serves as a reminder that flu season is in full swing.

Flu shots are currently available at Student Health Services. Both SHS and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend anyone older than 6 months of age be vaccinated against the flu. The vaccine is effective in preventing the flu with minimal side effects, therefore protecting not just individual students’ health, but the entire campus’, which could mean saving a lot of time that would be lost while fighting the flu.

SHS still has many vaccines available, including both the common needle vaccine, delivered into the arm, and also a nasal mist vaccine.

Both are effective in preventing the flu. The nasal mist vaccine is not available for people older than 50 years of age.

predators of Steller sea lions THE DAILY BAROMETER

The Steller sea lions of the Gulf of Alaska have been in trouble since the 1970s. There has been a 20 percent decrease in the population from 40 years ago.

Ten years ago, Markus Horning, an associate professor in the Marine Mammal Institute of Oregon State University, decided to find out why the sea lions were continuing to struggle.

To start understanding why populations hadn’t bounced back even with their addition to the endangered species list, Horning first looked at the problem animals. These problem animals are the sea lions that die or don’t reproduce.

The next issue was that these problem animals aren’t easy to collect data on. So Horning, along with the company Wildlife Computers, developed a device to get data on the problem Steller sea lions. They developed tags that are implanted into young sea lions and stay with them their entire lives. Once the animal dies, the device comes out of the body, floats to the top of the water where it then transmits

Student attendance at games on the rise Sports, page 5

to a satellite information about light, temperature and air.

Researchers then receive an email alerting them that one of the subjects has died and are given the information the tag has been collecting.

Horning has received 17 emails from the tags; 45 animals have been tagged in the past 10 years.

Fifteen of these 17 deaths thus far are the result of predation. It was previously thought that predation did not play this large of a role in the mortality rates of Steller sea lions.

What was unusual about the information received from a couple of the tags was that the tags detected cold temperatures for four to six days before they sensed light and air and began transmitting the collected data, meaning the tag had been ingested by a cold-blooded predator.

They knew the culprit in the deaths could not be the suspected white sharks and salmon sharks, as they have semi-warm blood. The next suspect for the killer was the sleeper See SEA LIONS | page 4

Voters make history on sugar taxes, fracking, GMOs

By Tracy Loew

STATESMAN JOURNAL

SALEM — All eyes were on Oregon Wednesday as voters watched Measure 92, which would have required labeling food with genetically modified ingredients, narrowly get defeated.

The measure ended up being the most expensive campaign in Oregon history, drawing nearly $30 million in combined contributions.

Opponents, including Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer and PepsiCo, raised more than $20 million.

But expensive battles over science topics were being fought

across the country.

Here’s a roundup of the big ones: Sugar taxes: Voters in two Bay Area cities considered levying taxes on sugary beverages. Soda companies contributed a combined $8.7 million to fight them.

In Berkeley, a penny-perounce tax passed easily, with 75 percent voting yes. Berkeley will be the first U.S. city to impose a beverage tax.

In San Francisco, a proposed 2-cent-per-ounce tax got a majority of the vote, but failed because it needed a two-thirds vote of approval to win.

GMO agriculture: Voters in Hawaii’s Maui County approved a

temporary ban on the cultivation of genetically engineered crops until a study to analyze health and environmental impacts is completed.

Opponents, including Monsanto and Dow Agrosciences, contributed almost $8 million to fight the proposal, making it the most expensive campaign in state history.

Fracking: San Benito County became the first county in California to prohibit fracking, or hydraulic fracturing. Fracking bans also were on the ballot in Santa Barbara and Mendocino counties, drawing a combined $7 million from opponents.

Meanwhile, Denton became

the first Texas city to ban fracking.

The Texas Oil & Gas Association already has legally challenged the ban.

Fracking uses water and chemicals to break up oil-containing rocks. In some areas it has caused earthquakes and water pollution.

Mining: In Alaska, voters overwhelmingly approved a measure that would require legislative approval for a controversial gold mine proposed for Bristol Bay. Wildlife: Michigan voters defeated a proposal to allow hunting of wolves. However, a legislative measure still in the courts could override the vote.

Former West Salem coach pleads guilty to sex abuse

By Carol McAlice Currie and Laura Fosmire STATESMAN JOURNAL

SALEM — The nearly year-long sexual abuse case against a former assistant girls basketball coach at West Salem High School is finally coming to an end, as Emrance Berger appeared in Polk County Circuit Court Tuesday to plead guilty to sexually abusing a player on the team.

Berger had initially been scheduled for a two-day bench trial before Judge Sally Avera, set to begin Tuesday.

But instead, just days after a settlement hearing was held, Berger agreed to plead guilty to two counts of second-degree sexual abuse and no contest to another count of the same charge.

In return, a sodomy charge and multiple other sexual abuse charges were dismissed.

The case started in February, when Salem Police announced that they had arrested Berger on accusations that he had a sexual relationship with a female basketball player.

Reaction in the community was almost unanimously shock. Berger had been employed by the Salem-Keizer School District as a coach since 2012 and worked for several years prior to that as a volunteer.

Many were appalled by the allegations, and a number of people who knew Berger personally were swift to come to his defense.

According to court records obtained by the Statesman Journal, the victim gave a statement to Salem Police Det. Jeff Staples on Feb. 11 detailing the abuse, which occurred in 2013 when she was under 18 years of age.

In the statement, the girl described going on a driving lesson with Berger, who instructed her to drive to his house. There, he “took (her) clothes off, kissed her, touched her breasts and vaginal area, digitally penetrated her and orally sodomized her. That after, (Berger) told her not to tell anyone or he would go to jail.”

The girl went on to describe other incidents, including several times when Berger touched her vaginal area and kissed her while she was watching a movie in his office.

She also described how Berger would ask her sexually-charged questions, ask about boyfriends and become angry if she didn’t respond. “(She) told Jeff Staples that (Berger) would threaten (her) with exposing their relation-

ship ... that (Berger) threatened to commit suicide if (she) ended the relationship,” court records read.

Additionally, Berger was accused of having sex with another victim, between Jan. 1 and Nov. 7 of 2007.

This second girl approached Salem Police shortly after the Statesman Journal first reported Berger’s arrest in February. Now in her early 20’s, she told police that she had also been sexually abused by Berger when she was a student at West High.

She claimed that she and Berger, while he was her coach, had begun a sexual relationship when she was 17 years old, which continued past her 18th birthday.

But while Berger pleaded guilty to charges involving the first victim, he pleaded no contest to the allegations brought by the second victim.

Berger’s case has brought West Salem High School under scrutiny, raising questions about whether other coaches or school administrators were aware of inappropriate relationships between Berger and female team members.

The answers remained unclear Tuesday.

But court records show that Berger’s defense attorney, in preparing for the previously scheduled trial, sought to find out if any records or statements had been made complaining of abuse.

Subpoenas were issued to West Salem’s athletic director Bryan Sutherland, school behavior specialist Terra Yates and to the Polk County Department of Human Services.

The defense was looking for records — family background information, placement assessments, behavioral assessments, psychological evaluations, incident reports, and daily reports.

And in April, Berger and his attorney filed a motion to compel the Salem-Keizer School District to produce “all records pertaining to (both victims) ... including, but not limited to, any and all notes taken by any West Salem High School representative concerning allegations of sexual abuse by (Berger), or statements made by an (sic) of the above referenced individuals concerning sexual abuse.”

Luke Reese, an attorney for the school district, responded to the subpoenas. He claimed that he had reviewed the requested records, and found that they didn’t relate to

the case.

“I have reviewed those student records and have not identified any reference to Mr. Berger, or any allegations of abuse or misconduct of any kind,” Reese said in a statement. “I have informed Mr. Berger’s attorney that the requested student records do not relate to his client or the subject of this case.”

Prosecutors chimed in, conceding that Berger was “entitled to any materials regarding an investigation by West Salem High School into complaints of inappropriate conduct between (Berger) and the victim in this case.

“It is known that West Salem High School did interview (the victim) in January of 2014 and at the time it was denied that there was any abuse occurring,” the state’s response continued.

However, the prosecution denied giving Berger all of the requested documents, calling the motion “overbroad” and “tantamount to a fishing expedition.”

The January interview is referenced at another point in the records, taken from a February police report, which details a conversation between Terra Yates and the victim. Yates had met with the victim in the administrative offices of West Salem High School and asked about some rumors of “weird contact” between Berger and the victim.

According to court records, the victim responded that, “This is ridiculous; parents have started these rumors up because of playing time.”

Yates continued to press, asking the victim if their relationship had ever been “more than coach-athlete” and if she had ever “had any type of sexual contact or relations with Em Berger?”

The victim continued to deny the abuse, saying: “No, this is so dumb; it all started from people who are jealous.”

Just last month, former girls’ head coach Jason Unruh and another assistant girls’ hoops coach, Jim White, voluntarily resigned without notice or explanation.

The Statesman Journal has filed public records request with the school district seeking communications records between school officials and players’ parents.

Sentencing for Berger is scheduled for Friday.

Forest service trying to make good on wilderness photography rules SALEM — The U.S. Forest Service is ready to clarify to the public controversial rules that govern commercial filming and photography in federal wilderness areas.

After stories in the Statesman Journal and the Oregonian revealed that the agency planned to require journalists -- and even some members of the public -- obtain a special use permit to film video or take pictures in wilderness areas, the rules became a nationwide controversy.

Every member of Oregon’s congressional delegation denounced the rules and members of both the U.S. House and Senate sent letters to the agency demanding changes.

But Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell said the rules have been misinterpreted and that members of the agency are looking forward to working with the media and public to clarify what is and is not allowed.

The Forest Service is holding an open house from 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 13 at the Mazamas Holman Auditorium in Portland to “give the public an opportunity

to meet with U.S. Forest officials one-on-one, gather information and have questions answered.�

As for the clarifications, Tidwell addressed some of the controversial issues in a letter released this afternoon. He emphasized the press would have a wide degree of freedom in wilderness areas for newsgathering. He added that amateur and professional photographers would not need special use permits in most cases.

The question of why the Statesman Journal was originally given conflicting information was not immediately clear. “We believe the Chief’s letter speaks for itself and supersedes any other language in our regulations that might conflict,� Forest Service public affairs specialist Glen Sachet said in an email.

The rules, which were set to be finalized this month, have been in place for four years but were enforced sporadically. The Forest Service extended the deadline for public comment to Dec. 3 following the outcry.

One organization that has been impacted is the popular television show Oregon Field Guide. In the past decade, the Forest Service has tried to make the Oregon Public Broadcasting

show submit to a permitting process prior to filming in the 36 million acres of wilderness managed by the agency. “I think this is pretty clearly a step in the right direction,� said Steve Amen, host and executive producer of Oregon Field Guide. “At the same time, this is just a memo. The regulations are still out there and until they change the wording, we’re still not ready to give up the fight.�

“Journalism is not to be considered a commercial activity for purposes of the regulations or our permit policies on any (National Forest Service) lands,� he wrote. “Journalism includes, but is not limited to: breaking news, b-roll, feature news, news documentaries, long-form pieces, background, blogs, and any other act that could be considered related to news-gathering. “To further help differentiate between journalism and other activities, the following question should be asked: Is the primary Originally, Forest Service offi- purpose of the filming activity cials told the Statesman Journal to inform the public, or is it to that any reporter, filmmaker or sell a product for a profit?

Oregon pot availability still many months away

By Christian Hill

THE REGISTER-GUARD

EUGENE — Oregon voters approved the recreational use of marijuana Tuesday, but it may be wise for residents to wait before taking a celebratory toke.

Adults ages 21 and older will not be able to legally possess or grow marijuana until July 1, under the measure.

While the measure technically will take effect next month, the sections allowing legal pot possession do not take effect until next summer.

And residents won’t be able to buy marijuana from a state-licensed retailer until sometime in 2016 after the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has adopted rules to regulate the new marketplace and granted growers, wholesalers and retailers licenses.

After Tuesday’s vote, “the only thing that is going to change is that the OLCC is going to start the (rule-making) process,� said Dave Kopilak, a Portland attorney and primary drafter of Measure 91. “Outside of that agency, none of the laws for us normal citizens are going to change for the next seven months or so.�

There are more immediate ramifications after Oregon became the third state in the nation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana after Washington and Colorado.

Alaska and Washington, D.C., also legalized recreational marijuana Tuesday.

Lane County-area police and court officials say they will discuss how to enforce and prosecute existing marijuana laws in the interim, between the measure’s approval and July 1.

And the chairman of the Oregon Senate Judiciary Committee said he expects lawmakers will tweak the measure when the legislative session starts in February.

Measure 91 lets adults possess up to eight ounces of marijuana and grow up to four marijuana plants at home, with additional allowances for pot in solid and liquid form.

They can possess and give up to one ounce of marijuana away from home, but are barred from using the drug in public.

The measure also establishes a legal marketplace where license holders can grow, process and sell recreational marijuana.

Although the measure takes effect next month, it doesn’t amend the state’s criminal marijuana laws until July 1. “We wanted everyone to maybe take a breather and see what had to be done,�

Kopilak explained.

OLCC Chairman Rob Partridge said the agency’s first order of business will be to go before the Legislative Emergency Board in December to secure funding to ramp up the new regulatory program.

Then, he said, agency officials plan to hit to road to get input ahead of drafting the new rules, including from public safety and school officials and medical marijuana representatives. “It’s critical that we get into the local communities and listen because that’s where the rubber meets the road,� said Partridge,

Klamath County’s district attorney and a former state lawmaker.

The measure requires the OLCC to adopt these rules by Jan. 1, 2016. No later than Jan. 4, 2016, the agency must begin accepting license applications for growers, processors and retailers and, according to the measure, can’t “unreasonably delay� the processing and decision on an application.

Partridge said the agency would strive to meet those deadlines but “a lot of intervening factors,� including legislative changes and any court challenges, could alter the timeline.

State Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, said he expects state lawmakers will tweak the measure. “We’ll probably be fine-tuning the measure to ensure that it provides what Oregonians expect in a regulated industry,� said Prozanski, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

He declined to provide many details, but he did say two areas that lawmakers would take a look at are edible marijana products and items that could be attractive to children, such as lollipops and gummy bears.

Prozanski characterized as a “non-starter� any thoughts of allowing a city or county to impose a local marijuana tax.

Measure 91 imposes a state tax on marijuana, and it bars local taxes. Numerous local governments, including Springfield and Lane County, already have adopted local taxes in the hope of getting in ahead of when the

measure takes effect.

Prozanski said the measure specifically preempts local taxes. Allowing them, he said, raises the price of marijuana and defeats the measure’s purpose of getting customers to buy from a regulated marketplace rather than drug dealers.

Kopilak said he’s open to legislative changes “that are consistent with the themes of the (measure) and not, ‘We think it’s better this way.’�

Locally, courts and law enforcement are grappling with how to enforce existing marijuana laws with legalization on the horizon.

Oregon voters decriminalized possession of less than an ounce of marijuana more than four decades ago, making it an offense akin to speeding. Possession of between one and four ounces is a misdemeanor, while possession of more than four ounces is a felony.

Springfield Police Chief Tim Doney said he planned to meet with the officials from the municipal court and city prosecutor’s office in the next week or two to discuss the way forward.

Eugene city prosecutor Susan Triem said she’ll have the same conversation with her colleagues. “We are still working on that,� she said.

Melinda McLaughlin, spokeswoman for the Eugene Police Department, said the agency’s stance would remain unchanged for the time being.

Voters defeat driver cards for undocumented Oregonians

By Amanda Peacher

OREGON PUBLIC BROADCASTING

PORTLAND — Oregon voters rejected Measure 88, a referendum on the state law that would have allowed driver cards for Oregonians who can’t prove they’re in the country legally.

The vote overturns a state law that passed last year but had not yet gone into effect. The failure of the driver card measure maintains the status quo, so undocumented residents will still not be able to drive.

Cynthia Kendoll led the opposition to Measure 88. She says the majority “no� vote sends a strong message. “Voters aren’t interested in giving a stateissued photo ID to people that are in our country illegally,� says Kendoll.

Proponents of the measure were disappointed Tuesday night.

The Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division estimates that tens of thousands of Oregonians who can’t currently drive legally have been affected by the outcome of the measure.

Carol Lewis celebrated at the campaign party for Measure 88 opponents on election night.

“I’m a little bit tired of people saying that this is okay, for illegals to have a driver’s card,� says Lewis. “And I’m concerned that we’re going to have to do this again.

She says she’s advocated against driver cards for the past decade, when the issue has come before the legislature or the governor.

Supporters of Measure 88, including nonprofit organizations, labor unions, businesses and churches, said it would make roads safer by allowing all drivers to carry insurance. Opponents, including several state representatives, the Sheriffs of Oregon Political Action Committee and other local officials, said people living in the country illegally should not be able to get a driver card.

If Measure 88 had passed, Oregon would have been the 11th state in the nation to provide driving privileges to undocumented residents.

Backers of Measure 88 say they hope to send the driver card issue back to Oregon voters in the future. Cynthia Kendoll and other opponents say that now that they’ve won, they may turn their attention to other issues related to immigration.

Tidwell also sought to clarify this point. “I also want to emphasize that commercial photography only requires a permit if the photography takes place at locations where members of the public are not allowed, or uses models, sets, or props,� Tidwell said. “If the activity presents no more impact on the land than that of the general public, then it shall be exempt from permit requirements.�

Comments from Forest Service officials, along with language in the rules led many to believe that hobbyist photographers would need to get a permit if they wanted to sell their work.

When asked directly whether amateur or professional photographers would need a permit to take pictures in wilderness areas and sell their work, Liz Close, acting director of wilderness for the Forest Service, told the Statesman Journal: “It’s not about who is doing the filming, but whether it reaches

Study suggests review of labor laws necessary for reliable electricity THE DAILY BAROMETER

When the power goes out, much is at stake. So much, in fact, that labor laws concerning electric utilities should be reviewed, according to a study done at Oregon State University by Assistant Professor in the College of Business, Inara Scott.

“It doesn’t seem that dire until a storm hits, or somebody makes a mistake, and then you are risking a blackout,” Scott said in the OSU press release. “You have to consider the magnitude of the potential harm to the public. Without power, you can’t pump gas. Cell phones may not work. Water systems are threatened. These are big problems.”

Under the National Labor Relations Act, which covers employees’ and employers’ rights with the interest of the greater community in mind, many courts have found against utility companies in labor disputes, according to the press release.

“If workers strike or are locked out of their jobs during a labor dispute, a utility might operate just fine, or there could be a major problem,” Scott said in the press release. “The problems caused by an electrical outage are not easy to predict and the consequences can be severe.”

When the NLRA was enacted by Congress in 1935, electricity did not play such a pivotal role in society. Now, a constant supply of reliable electricity is crucial. Many labs on campus, for instance, depend on electricity to preserve their research.

“The current law does not reflect the times,” Scott said in the press release. “The courts need to look at these cases differently because the role of electricity in our lives has changed.”

Scott’s study was published in the Energy Law Journal. news@dailybarometer.com

Oregon election bucked anti-democratic trend in nation

By Saul Hubbard THE REGISTER-GUARD

EUGENE — On a very bad night for Democrats in key races all across the country Tuesday, Democrats in Oregon bucked the trend, holding on to the governor’s mansion and a U.S. Senate seat, while growing their majorities in the state House and Senate.

When the dust settled Wednesday, Gov. John Kitzhaber had overcome a scandal-plagued final month of the campaign to hold off a challenge from Dennis Richardson, U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley had trounced Monica Wehby by almost 20 percentage points, and Democrats held a 35-25 advantage in the House and at least 17 seats in the 30-seat Senate.

Democrats and their allies, public employee unions, also helped persuade voters to crush Measure 90, the top-two primary election system which Democrats saw as a potential threat to their recent dominance of Oregon politics, by a 2-to-1 ratio. (The Oregon Republican Party also opposed Measure 90.)

There were setbacks for Democrats too, however: voters soundly rejected, Measure 88, which would have granted drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants. Not a single Democratic legislator voted against that concept in 2013, and House Democrats even voted to rewrite the measure’s ballot title this year in a way that would have made it more favorable to its supporters.

Voters also resoundingly said “no” to Measure 86, a new state

FLU SHOT n Continued from page 1 effects or illnesses from the vaccine in her great length of time working at SHS. According to the CDC, the effectiveness of the vaccine depends on the age and health of the person being vaccinated and the match between the flu viruses in the vaccine and the viruses being spread.

The vaccine is most effective in healthy children and adults.

endowment fund to pay for college scholarships, the brainchild of Democratic state Treasurer Ted Wheeler, who is considered a possible future gubernatorial candidate.

Contrasted to sweeping Republican wins across much of the rest of the country, Oregon’s results were “very remarkable,” said Jim Moore, a political science professor at Pacific University.

“In the last few midterm elections, Republicans have made big gains” in Oregon, he said.

Both Moore and political analyst Bill Lunch, a retired Oregon State University professor, said the Democrats’ success was a mixture of slowly-shifting demographics as well as factors specific to this election.

Lunch said that the last decade has seen “a slow erosion of votes for Republicans and slow increase in votes for Democrats” statewide.

“What is going on is happening slowly, incrementally, and there are exceptions. But (demographics) are moving in the direction of the Democrats,” he said.

Added Moore: “We’ve seen a sort of gentrification of the whole West Coast in recent years. And that’s created a West Coast blue bubble.”

This year, Republicans in state legislative races were hampered by weak candidates at the top of the ticket in teh form of Wehby and Richardson, Moore said.

“The Republican side has lost its farm team” of high-profile candidates, he said. “Candidates who have come close to win-

ning (statewide offices) have not run again...(and) the Republican side no longer has strong advisory circles that help recruit and train good candidates like the Democratic side does.”

Lunch said Democrats may have benefited from two ballot measures, marijuana legalization and GMO labeling, which helped boost turnout among younger voters.

“My guess is that (backers of those measures) probably did have some success in increasing the number of young people voting, but not as much as they wanted,” he said.

Attacks on an unpopular President Obama — a big key to GOP successes in midwestern and southern states — weren’t a major part of Oregon’s election.

Steve Candee, a politics instructor at Lane Community College, said he believes that’s because Oregon is one of “the pockets of the country that is still supportive of (Obama) and his basic agenda.”

Lunch agreed.

“If (Republicans’) private polling had shown Obama was as unpopular here as those states, they would have done more to tie Merkley to Obama,” he said. “There was some of that in Oregon, but nothing like in other states.”

As for measures 86 and 88, Moore said those failures had more to do with poorly run campaigns than strong pushback against a Democratic agenda.

For Measure 88 to pass, “politicians from both parties needed to get out there to cut ads last summer about why

they supported that specific (driver license) policy,” he said.

“Instead it just became a vote about immigration, which is the hot-button issue in the country right now.”

Candee agreed that Measure 88’s backers “didn’t market their issue well” or push back enough “to counter all the fears that were being raised by the other side.”

“It’s not enough to tell people something is the right thing to do or that it makes sense,” he said.

On Measure 86, Moore said voters weren’t necessarily opposed to the scholarship endowment due its potential costs because “pocketbook issues were passing in many parts of the state last night,” he said.

“It was more of a confusion issue,” he said. “It was technical bill, and there was no real campaign to put a face on it and explain what it would change.”

State legislative leaders had different takeaways from the election results and how full Democratic control would shape the 2015 legislative session.

House Speaker Tina Kotek, a Portland Democrat, said voters had responded to Democratic candidates’ support for increased funding for public education at all levels, and job creation.

“In a year when voter interest wasn’t particularly high and the national narrative wasn’t particualrly favorable, we ran effective campaigns,” she said.

In addition to seeking to bolster funding for K-12 schools and Oregon’s public universities, Kotek said she expects

discussions next year about a statewide mandatory sick leave policy for employers; raising the state’s minimum wage; renewing Oregon’s “clean fuels” program which aims to reduce the amount of carbon in car and truck fuels; and automatic voter registration for Oregonians who get or renew a driver’s license.

Lawmakers may also try to revisit the issue of drivers’ licenses for illegal immigrants, she said, describing the defeat of Measure 88 as “a disappointing loss for our state.”

“I don’t know where we go next” on that issue, she said. “We still have the challenge of making our roads safe.”

House Republican Leader Mike McLane of Powell Butte said that, while the election saw “a national Republican wave that stopped at the Cascades,” many of the state legislative were very close. In several cases, Democratic incumbents narrowly held on to their seats after outspending their GOP challengers.

Asked about the top of the Republican ticket, McLane said: “I don’t believe that Dennis Richardson impacted the (Oregon) House races. The U.S. Senate race speaks for itself. It was not a close race.”

“Republicans need to be known less for what we’re against and more for what we’re for,” McLane added, in describing his takeaway from the election.

“We also need to combat the demonization of Republicans that has occured at the hands of the public employee unions and extreme environmentalists.”

and auto-immune disorders are less likely to build immunity as well as healthy individuals could. In addition, elderly individuals are less likely to build the same immunity after the vaccine that younger individuals would be able to.

The flu is not just one virus — it is many different strains.

According to the CDC, the flu shot is designed to protect against different forms that the flu could come in, usually about three or four strains.

Scientists predict which strains will be the most relevant and also the most deadly for the upcoming flu season, and design the vaccine to be effective against those strains. The CDC finds that when the vaccine is well predicted, it reduces the risk of contracting the disease by about 60 percent, on average, in the United States.

Despite these assurances from the CDC and Student Health Services, some still question the effectiveness of the vaccine itself. Toshiaki Wada, a sophomore in exercise

and sport science, will not get a vaccine.

“I don’t think it works well,” Wada said. He got the flu shot while in high school, and then still got the flu later in the season.

Gen Nakamura, an international student, does not feel vaccination is worth it.

“It takes time and money,” Nakamura said. He also said he believes his immunity is strong enough to fight off a flu infection.

But some students feel it is better to avoid sickness as much as possible. Hanna Hagler, a sophomore in fisheries and wildlife, got vaccinated and said her parents and doctor encouraged her.

In recent national news, Marysue Grivna from Florida became paralyzed from acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), a rare brain infection, shortly after receiving a flu vaccination last year, bringing the safety of vaccine into the public eye. According to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, ADEM can be caused

by certain viruses and also some vaccinations. However, ADEM is extremely rare. The MSS cites that it is thought to affect fewer than 4 in one million children per year. Exactly how many of these cases can be attributed to the flu vaccine is unknown, but they are fewer than the number of cases caused by the disease itself.

“If I get the flu, I’m far more likely to get ADEM than from the flu vaccine,” said Juan Dumois in an interview with WTSP addressing Grivna’s paralysis. Dumois specializes

in pediatric infectious disease at All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.

By comparison, the CDC estimates that from the 19761977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths ranged about 3,000 to 49,000 people.

“This has raised some eyebrows and ruffled some feathers,” Horning said.

As the name might suggest, sleeper sharks are not known for agility and predation prowess. Many researchers doubted that the sleeper sharks would be responsible for such damage to sea lion populations.

Horning said that many questions still remain about sleeper sharks, but they are still the likely candidates for predation on Steller sea lions in the Gulf of Alaska.

Horning also said that the numbers of sleepers sharks as well as their range still need to be researched further to obtain actual values.

“This is speculative, but we may find sleeper sharks in all oceans of the world,” Horning said.

Currently, sleeper sharks are only accounted for in the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. news@dailybarometer.com

Oregon State beat Cal during last meeting, Golden Bears have not lost game since

Redshirt freshman Jordan Villamin runs drills during practice in preparation for the Oregon State Beavers’ next game.

The Oregon State men’s soccer team is coming of its bye week, which gave the players a chance to rest their legs, recover from any injuries and prepare for their final three games of the season, all of which are on the road.

In the first of their final three games, the Beavers (9-6-1, 2-4-1 Pac-12) must travel to Berkeley to take on Cal (11-3-1, 4-2-1), a team that has shot-up the rankings to find themselves at No. 7 in the nation.

The Beavers handled the Golden Bears with ease in their last matchup on Oct. 5 when the Beavers — behind a pair of hat tricks from senior forward Khiry Shelton and freshman forward Timmy Mueller — exploded

for six goals. They held the lethal Cal offense to only two goals when they met in Corvallis on Paul Lorenz Field.

Since that October matchup, both Cal’s and Oregon State’s seasons have taken different routes. Since the blowout loss, Cal has gone 4-01, including two victories over the former No. 1 team in the country, the UCLA Bruins.

The Beavers, on the other hand, were unable to build momentum following the victory, as they have gone 1-3-1, including a loss to last place San Diego State.

Cal, which boats the top-scoring offense in the nation averaging 2.64 goals per game, has also scored 11 goals since their last game against Oregon State.

For the Beavers to win this game, they will need a strong performance from their backline, which has two veteran seniors in midfielder Will Seymore and midfielder Brenden See MEN’S SOCCER | page 6

VILLAMIN n Continued from page 5 hurt,” Villamin said. “I knew I was going to play this year, but I didn’t know how significant my playing time was going to be. I’m happy with what I have right now; just happy to be playing.”

What’s unique about Villamin is his tremendous size. Standing at 6-foot-4-inches and 240 pounds, the freshman receiver has the sort of size that Oregon State hasn’t really had at the receiver position. Looking back at Oregon State’s top receivers of the past 15 years, all of those players are around six feet tall or shorter.

Chad Johnson — also known as Chad Ochocinco — and Mike Hass were both 6-foot1-inch, Markus Wheaton was 5-foot-11-inches, Brandin Cooks was 5-foot-10-inches, Sammie Stroughter was 5-foot10-inches and James Rodgers was only 5-foot-7-inches.

“I feel like it helps because

sports@dailybarometer.com • 541-737-2231 not a lot of defensive backs are that big, or they’re not as big as me,” Villamin said. “I try to use my body like in basketball, boxing out and using my length to push them away and catch the ball.”

Despite his size and despite the numbers he’s compiled recently, Villamin is still a very young receiver doing most of his learning on the fly. This has caused its fair share of growing pains, as the receiver has made mistakes that are typical of young receivers.

Most apparent of those mistakes are dropped passes, and Villamin had a drop in the end zone against California among others.

“Oh my God, I just didn’t look it in,” Villamin said of the potential touchdown. “I caught it. I got too excited and I looked away, and then it just came out of my hands. You live and you learn, understand that you have to look it in first and then go play.”

The fact that he’s been so productive so early in his

college career is a testament to receiving coach Brent Brennan. Throughout the year, Brennan has emphasized putting in maximal effort on every play each Saturday, as well as every rep each day in practice. To be a reliable receiver means paying attention to detail – knowing the playbook, running the correct routes, making sure the footwork is as efficient as possible, developing a rhythm with the quarterback, knowing where to look to find the ball, and the list goes on and on.

“In the game, actually, the little things are what have helped me make plays,” Villamin said. “Run full speed on each play, focus in on each play - I did it in the game and we’ve gotten positive results.”

His desire to learn as a young receiver coupled with the size advantage he has bodes well for his future, even if his present isn’t all that refined just yet.

site progression has taken place.

The 2014 season is actually on pace to have the most OSU students in attendance at football games in school history. At this rate, more than 43,300 students tickets will be distributed for this season’s home games, compared to 38,251 from last year and 41,002 two years ago (there are seven home games this year and in 2012, but were only six last year).

Less than 9,000 OSU students received tickets for the Utah game on Nov. 16, more than any other game on record, according to the OSU ticket office and Assistant Athletic Director Cecil Hairston.

The Nov. 1 matchup with California drew about 8,000 students, the third-most ever behind only this year’s Utah contest and the 2008 USC game The official numbers of student tickets only dates back to 2002, but the student attendance before 2002 was likely “not even close” to today’s numbers, according to Steve Fenk, associate athletic director for communications.

For the OSU football program, the vision for increased student support has been in motion for years, including the planning behind the 2005 Reser renovation.

“When we opened up the new structure (in 2005), it was as much designed with the students in mind as anyone else,” Fenk said.

One of the biggest ways to emphasize the students was to place the student section directly behind the team’s bench, which is not the case for most Division-I stadiums.

“I feel like it’s a lot louder here,” said sophomore wide receiver Rahmel Dockery, who played at Washington State before transferring to OSU. “They’re closer, and especially since the student section is right there. The people are a lot more energetic and a lot louder.”

“I’d like them behind the other bench better, but there’s a rule about that,” added head coach Mike Riley with a laugh.

There are multiple reasons for the uptick in student attendance, not the least of which being the expansion of sections where students can actually sit.

The south end zone — sections 125 to 127 — and even parts of the west side of the stadium, directly across from the designated student section, have been opened up as de facto excess student sections. This increases the

maximum allowance of student tickets to be handed out. In past years, student attendance was capped at the roughly 6,000 seats in the student section on the east side of Reser.

In addition, the Pac-12 administration prioritized the improvement of smartphone coverage this offseason in an attempt to draw more students to games.

The Pac-12 worked a deal with AT&T to provide coverage in every stadium and became the first conference to update all venues, including Reser, with full wireless capacity.

The idea is simple: the experience at the stadium must be better than watching it on TV. Otherwise, students won’t come, and if students don’t come, the football program is in trouble.

“We always felt that it was important to have the students be a major part of the atmosphere at Reser Stadium — the team feeds off of student involvement at the games,” Fenk said.

“In many ways, the students lead the charge of fan involvement overall.”

Not all Pac-12 schools have fared so well, both in student and overall support. OSU’s upcoming opponent Washington State played at home against USC on Saturday in front of a home crowd that, albeit in poor weather, was “bizarre,” according to Tom Hager of the MoscowPullman Daily News.

“I got to the game about an hour before the game started and it was totally empty,” Hager said. “And as each minute was approaching toward kickoff and the fans weren’t (arriving), I was like, ‘what is going on here?’ The stadium just never filled.”

Hager estimated that there were 2,000 or 3,000 fans left when the third quarter began in a foggy game in which the Cougars lost, 44-17.

On the other hand, UCLA has boosted student attendance 58 percent since head coach Jim Mora was hired in 2011.

For the OSU players, the extra students have brought some added intensity during games.

“It has been a little louder on game days,” said senior linebacker Michael Doctor. “It’s good to have the support and everything from the fans and make the atmosphere that much better.”

Doctor said the loudest he’s heard Reser this season was in the third quarter against California when sophomore safety CyrilNoland Lewis dashed through the Golden Bear offensive line for a sack.

“I haven’t heard it that loud probably since the Rodgers brothers were here,” he said.

Though there have been

more students this year than in years past, Doctor and his fellow seniors can also point to the beginning of their OSU careers to show the support they’ve seen from Beaver Nation.

“Even that 3-9 season (in 2011) there were still a lot of fans (in Reser),” said senior running back Terron Ward. “Of course, when we had that long winning streak my sophomore year (in 2012), it was crazy around here. The fan support has always been here since I’ve been at Oregon State.”

The only requirement to get a student ticket is to show valid student ID when the ticket office opens the Monday morning before a game. This week, the OSU athletic department handed out cookies and hot drinks to students who had camped out to get the best seats. When they were still at OSU, James and Jacquizz Rodgers were known for bringing donuts to the tailgaters.

“That’s always fun to see,” Doctor said of the Monday morning ticket line. “I’ll go out there and talk to them a little bit before I go in and start my day.”

“If those guys are out there in the morning just to get tickets to see me play, why can’t I go out and practice and have that same energy, or go out in a game and have that same intensity?” Ward added.

Ward had a special interaction with the fans on Saturday against Cal when he scampered for a fourth-quarter touchdown to give the Beavers a 31-27 lead.

After crossing the south goal line, he continued through the end zone towards the fans.

“The adrenaline’s running through me, they’re really close, actually,” Ward said. “They’re yelling at you, they see you, you’re making eye contact. I guess it’s human nature to go up and give a fan a high-five. I guess I’ve got to stop doing that before they give me a flag.”

The home schedule is backloaded for Ward and the Beavers.

Four of the five November games are in Reser, including the Civil War on Nov. 29. The Beavers, at 4-4 on the season, know they need to win some games in order to keep the fan attendance up.

“We’ve got to put a better performance on so they can come out even more,” Ward said.

“They’ve been doing a great job.”

A win against WSU would be a point in the right direction, still leaving two home games and a road trip to face Washington before the regular season ends.

“There’s no place like home right now,” Doctor said.

Make yourself visible during rough weather days

Be responsible D if you smoke pot in July regon voters decided to legalize their own version of the “green fairy.”

Measure 91 passed with flying colors and Oregon joined states such as Colorado and Washington, which initially blazed the trail toward legal marijuana.

News publications, stations and Facebook statuses alike lit up with excitement over this new addition to state law Tuesday morning.

You could almost say the state is on a bit of a high from the ballot measure results.

Given this new addition, citizens of Oregon could carry up to eight ounces of cannabis — provided they are over 21 — and grow up to four plants at a home.

The state will successfully regulate the production of legalized marijuana and will collect a $35 tax-per-ounce, and this will filter itself around for schools and police officers.

The money, not the pot.

Don’t worry about noncommercial marijuana — your four plants at home will be safe and sound.

But before you run out and celebrate this new addition to our state legalities, there are a few things you should know.

As of right now, in this moment, marijuana is not actually legal.

Until July 1, 2015, recreational marijuana is still technically illegal.

You will get arrested if you smoke it in front of cops or individuals with the ability to call the cops prior to the legalized date, so don’t.

Remember that many employers will still prefer employees not smoke at all. Naturally, you’ll want to avoid smoking on the job.

Let’s not forget about the individual in Washington who lost his job after he was recorded as one of the first individuals waiting at a legal dispensary.

This might sound like an unfortunate letdown, but it makes sense in its own way. Case in point, someone who decides to post party pictures all over the Internet may likely have similar complications in the professional world.

Legal or not, it’s still wise to make smart choices when it comes to consumption. This goes for all substances.

Heaven forbid we drink too much coffee in the newsroom and get weird because of “the jitters.”

But for all that is good in this world, even when pot officially becomes legal: Please don’t drive while smoking it — you could endanger others, get arrested and be very sad when sitting next to “Murder Joe” in the holding cell.

So be sure to keep all this in mind now that Oregon voters let the measure pass.

Smoke responsibly when July arrives.

High-tech marvels enhance, improve agriculture

T

he agriculture industry is changing every day.

We are developing new and innovative technologies that are making production easier, cheaper and quicker than ever before.

While the big corporations are leading the pack in innovation, the family farmers aren’t far behind.

Last spring I had the opportunity of speaking with Katie Fast, the vice president of public policy for the Oregon Farm Bureau.

“We are now using more technology in agriculture than ever before,” Fast said.

In fact, many farms are implementing more than just tractors to get the job done.

According to Fast, by utilizing new technology, “we can more effectively manage our land while increasing the efficiency of production.”

This is incredibly important as the world population continues to climb.

We have to produce more food, on less land, with the same resources we are already using.

Think that is impossible?

Well, it’s not, it’s just difficult.

You see, the growing population is putting pressure on the arable land — land we can farm. Until farms are built in space — about as likely as constructing a Death Star — we will have to work with what we have.

Essentially, we are doing more with less.

But let’s get back to the robots and lasers.

At the Oregon State University Food Innovation Center in Portland, OSU researchers, in partnership with the Oregon Department of Agriculture, have developed a laser labeling method for labeling fruits.

A laser imprint system engraves the outermost layer skin.

While it doesn’t hurt the fruit, it enhances food security in labels that can’t be peeled off.

In the Eastern part of our state, remote-controlled aircraft have been used to fly over potato fields in Hermiston, Ore. These aircraft are part of OSU’s efforts to help farmers boost yields while cutting costs.

OSU scientists have used various cameras attached to the aircraft to detect plants that aren’t getting enough fertilizer or water.

“The key is to discover plants that are just beginning to show stress so you can find a solution quickly, so the grower doesn’t have any reduced yield or quality issues,” said Phil Hamm, director of OSU’s center in Hermiston.

“This, in turn, can save money.”

These remote-controlled aircraft are early warning systems for plants with issues, as well as an opportunity for growers to reduce costs by being more efficient in water and fertilizer use.

The Mayfield Farm located in Aurora, Ore. has continued to make strides in sustainable milk production through technology.

The 450-head dairy is robotically milking many of its cows with a Voluntary Milking System.

The VMS, a robotic milking system, essentially allows cows to milk whenever they wish with little human involvement.

The robotic milking system allows Mayfield to redistribute their labor to other jobs on the dairy, such as caring for the cows and herd management.

These are the kinds of technological advances that are changing the way we See CHRISTENSEN | page 8

Senate shifts leave Merkley, Wyden in minority Kitzhaber: Fourth-term direction unclear

PORTLAND TRIBUNE

PORTLAND — Before Oregon U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley easily won re-election Tuesday night, he was facing the prospect of becoming a minority member of the U.S. Senate.

Republicans picked up five seats toward control of the Senate before the polls closed in Oregon. They won a sixth seat a short time later.

Although Merkley was quickly declared the winner in the race against Republican Monica Wehby, the election night crowd of Democrats in the ballroom of the Hilton Hotel was more subdued than might be expected.

PORTLAND — Gov. John Kitzhaber survived a bruising campaign to win an unprecedented fourth term Tuesday night. Now, as Kitzhaber prepares for his second turn as a lame-duck governor, political insiders are watching to see if the governor still has the political capital to broker the type of high-profile agreements that characterized his third term.

Kitzhaber and his fiancée, first lady Cylvia Hayes, could still face ethics investigations after questions arose late in the race regarding Hayes’ private consulting role.

Hayes stopped serving as an unpaid policy adviser to the governor while the Oregon Government Ethics Commission looks into her role, and she was absent Tuesday night during the governor’s victory speech.

The commission will consider some of those questions Friday at its regular meeting.

Kitzhaber said in a statement Tuesday night that he was “keenly aware that I stand here tonight because Oregonians stuck with me under difficult circumstances. I do not take that for granted, and I will not let you down. During this campaign you have risen above the noise and distractions and chosen to focus on the real challenges facing Oregon.”

The governor’s victories during his third term included a

The towns are small, the folks are nice and they don’t care about who you are or where you came from.

Such places included in “Forgotten Florida” include Cedar Key. This old fishing village offers a little bit of everything.

Boasting a small, close-knit community, there are no hotels or chain restaurants — just your vintage mom-and-pop diners.

You can also take sunset cruises and go on fishing expeditions. To be clear, this place isn’t for everyone.

If you are looking for the traditional blue aquatic waters of the Gulf of Mexico right at your doorstep, or are wanting to dance the night away to the red lasers and smoke machines of the club scene, turn away now.

The perfect thing about

package of bills known as the “grand bargain,” which cut public pensions and raised taxes, that state lawmakers passed after the governor called them back for a special session in fall 2013.

Kitzhaber has talked of an even more ambitious goal for his fourth and last term: an overhaul the state’s tax system, which he started discussing with business and labor groups even before he announced last winter that he would seek a fourth term as governor. The governor successfully worked with labor and anti-union interests earlier this year to keep opposing measures off the ballot this fall, in an effort to prevent an acrimonious fight that could have undermined discussions of tax reform.

“The governor has shown a real ability to pull people in to work across the aisle,” said Phil Keisling, a former Oregon secretary of state and director of the Center for Public Service at the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University. “I think he will continue to be a pretty vigorous chief executive,” Keisling said.

“But he will be a lame duck, for a second time.”

Governors draw power from the fact they are elected by the entire state said Len Bergstein, a political consultant who owns Northwest Strategies, Inc. Although Bergstein would not rule out Kitzhaber’s ability to achieve another “grand

bargain,” Bergstein said the closeness of this election left Kitzhaber without a clear mandate.

“I can’t imagine that anybody can say with a straight face that there’s any mandate that’s come from Oregon voters,” Bergstein said.

One aspect of the election that could help the governor is his party’s stronger majority in the Oregon Senate, where Democrats gained an edge of at least 17 to 12 on Tuesday night. One race, District 15 in Washington County, remained too close to call Wednesday between incumbent Republican Sen. Bruce Starr and Democrat Chuck Riley.

The Democrats’ 16-14 majority in the 2014 session meant the party sometimes fell short of the votes it needed to pass priority legislation, when powerful Scappoose Democrat Sen. Betsy Johnson crossed the aisle to vote with Republicans on key legislation.

However, it is unclear if Democratic lawmakers will be willing to expend much of their political capital on major initiatives from a lame-duck governor when lawmakers have their own priorities, such as clean-fuels and expansion of early childhood education.

Democrats also gained one seat in the House, which they will lead over Republicans, 35-25.

“Forgotten Florida” is that it follows its own rules.

Following the beat of their own drums, they do things differently.

The town is usually in bed by 10 p.m. and the community usually carpools with bicycles and golf carts, all of which never seem to get locked up.

The whole experience is based on trust for fellow human beings, and the only pressing values they have is that you respect your surroundings, be kind to your neighbors and give everyone a fair shake.

Here, nothing else matters except relaxation and your environment — and why shouldn’t it?

I mean, the place looks like the forest scene from “The Lion King” where Timon and Pumbaa sing “Can you feel the Love Tonight.”

It’s a place for “biking, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, tubing, fishing and walking,” according to CNN — pretty much the whole “ing” family.

What really gets the people going is how cost effective the whole dynamic is.

The many towns and villages

in “Forgotten Florida” are not expensive at all.

Even though green is very important, you don’t have to spend a lot of it to make an impact.

If “Where the Red Fern Grows” had a baby with the Keyes, the by-product would be this amazing place. Clam chowder?

You bet that they have the best you’ve never tasted yet.

Manatees? You bet your boots they have those delightful creatures with paddle-like flippers and a spin on bodyimage that says “Why should I care?”

But don’t just take my word for it.

Feel free to choose your own path, even if it means doing things a little differently. Take a break from everything that causes you stress and go to “Forgotten Florida.”

It’s a place that’s usually overlooked and forgotten, but maybe it shouldn’t be. t
