will be turned over each month to
the Palestinian Authority. Israel had
frozen Palestinian government assets
during the past 32 months of violence.
• Palestinian VEPs, such as lawmakers
and security officials, will be allowed to
travel freely between the West Bank and
Gaza Strip. They have needed permis
sion from the Israeli military to travel.
• Israel will release 100 detained sus
pected militants and review the cases
of other prisoners for possible release.
The Israeli concessions — report
ed on Israeli television and confirmed
by officials—followed a promise from
the Palestinian leader Abbas to work
forcefully to put an end to suicide at
tacks and a surprising promise that he
could secure a complete cease-fire by
Hamas in coming days.
He told an Israeli newspaper that he
could negotiate similar arrangements
with Islamic Jihad and other groups.
Hamas leaders in Gaza City told
Knight Ridder on Thursday that if Ab
bas could secure an agreement to re
lease prisoners and to end taigeted at
tacks on Palestinian militants, the group
would consider a temporary truce.
Another Palestinian militant group,
however, the A1 Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade,
issued a statement Thursday saying
they would not conform to any cease
fire: “We reject the road map to hell
and any cease-fire until the rights of
the Palestinian people are restored
without condition,” said a statement
faxed to news agencies.
A1 Aqsa has launched the most sui
cide attacks against Israelis in the last
three years. Hamas attacks, however,
have been more deadly.
Violence in the past month has
killed nearly 50 people and wound
ed hundreds.
With all the world looking forward
to the arrival of Bush for the Mideast
peace summit next week, Palestinian
suicide attacks or a major Israeli mil
itary offensive before then could now
only be viewed as acts of sabotage,
analysts say.
According to the text of the three
phase road map, each side must issue
“unequivocal” statements of support for
the peace process. Israeli leaders must
issue a statement “calling for an immedi
ate end to violence against Palestinians
everywhere.” Palestinians, for their part,
must reciprocate with a statement “call
ing for an immediate and unconditional
cease-fire” against Israelis anywhere.
On Sunday, Israel did endorse the
road map, but with reservations and
a promise from Washington that its
concerns would be addressed later.

began thinking business.
“I began importing out of Eng
land and selling them around Eu
gene and even out of the trunk of
my car,” Hill said.“I saw an unful
filled need in the marketplace.”
By 1986 Hill’s company had sold
close to 10,000 pairs of pants. The
pants were quickly becoming popu
lar, but Hill said he wasn’t as interest
ed in creating other products just yet.
“At that time, I was still running,
and I was very busy,” he said. “I was
also very niche oriented. I wanted to
focus on doing one thing well.”
Over the years, SportHill has taken
on an expanded line, selling pants,
tops, vests, jackets and even under
wear. In the early 1990s, it developed a
line made from a material it calls 3sp,
which is 100 percent polypropylene. It
can be used in low temperatures, and
it is lightweight and dries easily.
Mary Robertson, a manager at
REI, said their best selling product
is the 3sp pant, which is marketed
for cross country skiing. She said
customers use the pants for a wide
variety of sports.
“It’s a fantastic product for this
climate,” Robertson said. “The
pants are comfortable, durable and
even flattering. There's nothing bet
ter than a good pair of black pants.”
Shawna Solomon, a University
student and manager at Run Proath
letic shop, said one reason she en
joys SportHill is their local appeal.
“It’s really good to support local
business, and they’re an easy com
pany to support,” Solomon said.
“I’ve had people say they’ve had the
tights last for 10 years.”
SportHill supplies clothing to
many high school and university
teams, as well as the Canadian Na
tional and Olympic Ski Teams, and
markets its products worldwide.
Though Hill no longer runs com
petitively, he can still be found out
in the field — he’s coached the
Pleasant Hill High School distance
team since last spring.

the opposite direction, hit the con
crete median and became airborne,
striking the cab of his truck.
The impact shattered Smith’s C
7 vertebrae, and left him quadriple
gic. He currently has no movement
or feeling in his legs and limited
movement in his arms and hands,
his mother, Marilyn Smith, said.
Noah Smith spent most of win
ter term at Good Samaritan Hospi
tal in Portland doing physical ther
apy and is currently undergoing
physical therapy at the Lokomat
Clinical Trial at the Rehabilitation
Institute of Chicago.
“His goal is to be able to walk
again,” Marilyn Smith said.
At the Lokomat Clinical Trial,
Smith attends therapy three times a
week, and with the help of a ma
chine, he practices walking.
“The idea is that as time goes on,
he’ll support more of his own body
weight and re-leam to walk by repeat
ing the motions,” Marilyn Smith said.
Much of the student’s therapy is
made possible through the help of
family, friends and even strangers
donating their time and money.
Lauren Armstrong, a University
senior and cast member in “This Ship
of Fools,” became good friends with
Smith several months before the ac
cident. She said she never could have
foreseen such a horrible thing hap
pening to such an “angelic person.”
“This accident took all of us by sur
prise,” she said. “None of us expected
this to happen to him. He struggled
really hard to stay positive. Because
he was such a loving friend, people
were coming to see him in droves.”
Smith has automobile insurance
and insurance through the Universi
ty’s Health Center, but the driver of
the other vehicle was uninsured. Mar
ilyn Smith said her son’s insurance
does not cover the costs for his med
ical needs. The family decided not to
file a lawsuit against the driver be
cause there were no available assets.
Members of the University and
the local community have made
several contributions to Smith in
the past six months. The biggest
contribution was generated from a
fundraiser held in Hood River,
where the Smiths received a dona
tion of about $30,000.
Pour Babies performed at Lord
Leebrick Theatre Company and
earned $900, which they donated to

Smith, and the family also received
i?4,000 in donations from a local
bank account at Pacific Continental
Bank, established in Smith’s honor.
“I can tell you that we’ve been re
ally overwhelmed by the generosi
ty,” Marilyn Smith said. “This has
truly been the brightest spot since
the accident.”
Before the accident, Smith was
working toward a major in Spanish
and a minor in theater, but now he
is uncertain when he’ll return, his
mother said.
“He wants to return, but it’s really
too soon to determine when he
will,” Marilyn Smith said.
For now, Noah Smith is expected
to move back to Hood River at the
end of June, and this weekend he’s
going on one of his first outings since
the injury — camping with other pa
tients from Lokomat Clinical Trial.
“He’s maintained a positive atti
tude, considering his situation,”
Armstrong said.
