Worker loses foot in rare accident ■ CONSTRUCTION: A wall fell on the foot of Rodney Schultz last Monday during work on Bean West By Michael Hines Oregon Daily Emerald A construction accident at the Bean Residence Hall July 21 was the worst the project manager has ever seen. A portion of a brick wall fell on the right foot of a 2G Con struction worker, project manag er Dave Coleman said. Rodney Schultz, a 2G Con struction employee for three years, was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center, where his foot was later amputated. Schultz was released Monday. The accident was due to hu man error. “We’ve analyzed it,” Coleman said. “It was a mistake in judg ment.” The wall had less support than officials had calculated, Coleman said, and the result was the par tial collapse of the wall. This was the only major acci dent during the two-summer Bean construction project, Hous ing Facilities Director Nancy Wright said. Last summer, Bean East was renovated. The work this summer is in Bean West, near East 15th Avenue and Agate Street. The accident occurred at the Southwest corner of the building near the crosswalk on 15th Av enue. Although, as the accident proved, the Bean construction zone can be dangerous, the pro ject has been relatively safe, Cole man said. He said that 2G Construction takes measures to keep non workers from entering the site. “We accost anybody who ap proaches the site and ask them to leave if they do not belong,” Coleman said. The company also secures the excavation points and has some fencing in place. Most of the current work on Bean is being done on the inside, which may make the building look safer, he said. Coleman estimated between 35 and 40 workers are on the site be tween 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. “It’s kind of a confined site,” he said. This causes some extra danger. Space does not exist on the site to load and unload trucks, so ma terial handling is done in the street. Coleman urges that people use caution when traveling through the area because of the trucks and occasional flaggers. “The main danger is from the activity,” he said. The project is on schedule, of ficials said. The construction will finish in the middle of Septem ber. “They did an outstanding job last year,” Wright said, “and they’re doing a great job this year.” 2G Construction hopes to con tinue to employ Schultz in some capacity after his recuperation, Coleman said.

Witnesses said they heard the engine of the Cessna 172 sputtering about 2:50 p.m. just before it plunged into the neighborhood just north of Camp Withycombe, an Oregon National Guard training base. The crash occurred just 50 feet from the nearest house, but no one on the ground was injured, said Damon Coates, spokesman for the Clackamas County sheriffs office. The pilot, Mike Rhoten, 19, and his best friend, Josh Critchett, 17, were killed. Emily Takahashi, 17, was taken by helicopter ambulance to University Hospital in Port land. She was in critical condition with severe head and abdomi nal injuries and a fractured pelvis, hospital spokesman Marlys Levin said. All three teenagers were from the same area in Clacka mas where the crash occurred, Coates said. Rhoten apparent ly had brought his friends along for the ride. “The pilot’s parents say he was working toward his com mercial pilot’s license and was logging as many hours as pos sible,” Coates said. “He was flying on a daily ba sis. He was on one of those ex cursions today. Tonight, he planned yet another trip.” Rhoten had leased the plane from Aurora Aviation, but it was unclear whether the com pany owned it, Coates said.
