Roberts said in her inaugural
address on |an. 14. 1991 "We
understand its unpin ations and
its limitations and we will deal
decisively with those issues
In the end. though, the prop
erty tax limit and its resulting
squeeze on the state's finani es
proved to la* too much for Roberts
to handle during her rocky first
term in office
Roberts' announcement that
stie s dropping her rv-eltx lion bid

down-to-earth individual who
has tried to help those who exist
in the shadows of life

working to promote the rights of

minorities and homosexuals

Still. Roberts and her ud\ ist-rs

Gov Roberts, who found It hard to govern Oregon with diminishing
funds, announced she will not seek re-election.

In her 'state-of-thc-state

avoid state budget cuts
At the tune Kolierts said leg

But lawmakers blamed the defeat
on the governor's dec isions not
to work i loselv with them and to

Roberts had spent the year

Senate Republican Leader
Gordon Smith has said he thinks
Roberts is "a wonderful human
being" who just never was able
to exert leadership on crucial
Measure 5 issues
'Measure 5 and Barbara

Governor urges
women to enter
world of politics
PORTLAND (AP) - Gov.
Barbara Roberts is urging
more women to enter poli
tics.
A day after she announced
she would not run for re
election, she told an audi
ence in Portland that politics
offer women a chance to
moke a difference.
Roberts spoke Saturday
morning at a campaign
school run by the Oregon
Women’s Caucus. She told
the nearly 150 women candi
dates and campaign staffers
that she saw nothing strange
in her recommendation.
Roberts, who's now 57, has
decades of experience in pol
itics.
Although sen ing only one
term as governor, Rolterts has
been on the ballot !5 times,
for six offices ranging from
the local school board to the
governor’s seat.
In all those years, she lost
only one race. She says it
was the first time she ran.
and she didn’t like losing.
Roberts, who became Ore
gon's tirst woman governor
in 1990, says public service
offers hard work and contin
ual challenges — but also
offers community honor and
sheer fun.
Roberts announced Friday
she would not campaign for
a second term, citing person
al and professional concerns.
She says she couldn't do her
job. herself or her family jus
tice and still find the time to
run a campaign
Skis, snowboards hit by thieves on the slopes this winter
SKATTI.l. (A!1) — Crime in Washington
lakes on a ( lulling aspect liuring the winter
Nearly 300 people have lost more than
$122,400 worth of skis and snowboards at
Snoqualmio Pass, Stevens Pass and Crystal
Mountain ski areas situ e late No\ ember
"What skiers don't realize is that a lot of
people who frequent ski areas aren't skiers,
said Mike Hunter, a kungfiountv deputy sher
iff assigned to the western half of Snoqualrnie
pass a lul of those are there for only
one reason — to steal,"
The number of thefts is down a bit from
previous ski seasons, her.a use poor weather
iias keep skiers away from the Cas< ade slopes
Hut thefts had been increasing at a 10 percent
annual clip. Hunter said.
So far this season, 26 ski and snowboard
thieves have been arrested at Stevens Pass,
seven at Ski Acres and Hyak, and three at
Crystal Mountain as of late last week If a thief
isn't caught, the stolen items are likely gone
for good
"Lose a pair of skis or snowboard, and
trai king (hum is like trying to find a needle
in a haystack." said kittitas County sheriffs
deputy Dan Papinoau, who patrols the east
side of Snoqualtnie Pass
Part of the problem is the tradition of sim
ply leaving equipment stui k in the snow or
at unattended racks while the owner stops for
a rest or refreshment
"Someone may be watching closely,”
Hunter said, "and as soon as the owner dis
appears into a restaurant or whatever, the
move is made and the skis or snowboard are
gone."
Randy Anderson, head of private security
at Stevens Pass, was reluctant to discuss the
profile he has worked out of the stereotypi
cal ski or snowboard thief.
In general, though, security officials watch
for people not dressed for skiing who loiter
around ski racks; |>eople carrying more than
one pair of skis or two snowboards to a vehi
cle in the parking lot: and people examin
mg different sets of skis at a rack
Anderson re« ently spotted a man follow
ing another skier After the skier split his skis
on two different re< ks, ttie thief grabbed them
and headed for the parking lot.
"At first he said he picked up the wrong
skis But he soon confessed." Anderson said.
Stevens Pass lias a video-camera system
that also helps. Earlier this month, when a
skier reported his skis stolen, security offi
cials viewed the tape and saw the theft
“Using his clothing as a guide, wo soon
spotted him at the lifts and made the arrest."
Anderson said.
Officials say skiers and snow-boarders
should take time to record serial numbers and
place identifying marks on their equipment.
They also recommend paying a small fee to
stash equipment at attended ski racks.
"It's only a fraction of the cost for a day
of skiing." Papineau said. "Would you leave
your wallet or expensive stereo equipment
on a restaurant table without watc hing it?”
