victim sues
COCC
PORTLAND (AP) — The
family of an Oregon homi-
cide victim has filed a federal
lawsuit against the commu-
nity college that employed
the man charged in the crime.
Police say Edwin Lara
kidnapped Kaylee Sawyer
in July 2016 while working
as a campus safety officer at
Central Oregon Community
College.
The lawsuit filed Monday,
July 24, in Eugene asserts
the woman accepted a ride
from Lara, believing he was a
police officer she could trust.
Instead, she became trapped
in a patrol car equipped with a
cage and doors that wouldn’t
open from the inside.
The lawsuit alleges the
college failed to do an ade-
quate background check on
Lara and was negligent in
providing officers with uni-
forms and vehicles made to
resemble police.
Lara and three campus
officials are also listed as
defendants. Lara has pleaded
not guilty to murder and other
crimes.

BEND (AP) — A recently
study states Oregon outdoor
activities generate more than
$16 billion annually.
The Bend Bulletin
reports the Outdoor Industry
Association’s study released
on Wednesday updated state-
by-state breakdowns of the
impact the outdoor recreation
industry has on each state.
The study states Oregon’s
outdoor activities revenue has
grown by more than 28 per-
cent since 2013.
In addition, 69 percent of
Oregonians surveyed in the
study said they participate in
outdoor recreation each year,
which is up from 60 percent
during the previous survey.
The raw economic num-
bers place Oregon in the mid-
dle of the pack among western
states, well behind California,
Washington and Colorado,
but ahead of Nevada, Idaho
and Utah.
