Appeal Tribune Wednesday, July 26, 2017 3A Anytime Fitness treads into Soles4Souls cause JUSTIN MUCH STAYTON MAIL Anytime Fitness in Silverton an- nounced that it’s taking local steps into a global cause of fighting poverty. Through Sept. 15, the gym, located at 703 McClaine St., #F, will be collecting gently used shoes for Soles4Souls. Robin Williams of Anytime Fitness, who is the local ambassador for the Soles4Souls, said that people’s unwanted gently-used shoes help create meaningful opportuni- ties in developing nations in need. Soles4Souls is a non-profit social en- terprise based in Nashville, Tennessee, which describes its vision as “disrupting the cycle of poverty” through a mission aimed at the “distribution of shoes and clothing around the world.” Williams said the shoes collected in Silverton will be delivered to Soles4Souls. The nonprofit social enter- prise creates sustainable jobs and pro- vides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world; it has distributed more than 30 million pairs of new and used shoes in 127 coun- tries since its 2006 founding. "Anytime Fitness Silverton is a strong supporter of Soles4Souls’ mission, and we hope to take a big step in providing the organization with the new and gently used shoes they require to disrupt the cy- cle of poverty around the globe,” Wil- liams said. Soles4Souls orchestrates the distribu- tion of the shoes through micro-enter- prise programs that create jobs in devel- oping nations. “We’re so grateful for volunteers like our friends at Anytime Fitness," said Soles4Souls President and CEO Buddy Teaster. "It’s individuals and businesses like these that are the heart of our or- ganization.” Sources from the nonprofit cite a 2012 World Bank estimate indicating roughly 900 million people live on less than $1.90 per day. Consequently, adequate foot- wear is an issue affecting many, and that increases the risk of infections and para- sitic diseases. “The simple truth is that almost any- one with a closet has shoes they don’t wear or an old pair that will just end up in a landfill,” said Williams. “Give those to us, and know that you are taking a step to making the world a better place for all of us.” For information, contact Anytime Fit- ness, 503-873-7033.

Legislators urge police to enforce immigration laws LAUREN E HERNANDEZ STATESMAN JOURNAL Three Oregon legislators are spear- heading an initiative petition that would repeal the Oregon law prohibiting local and state police from enforcing federal immigration laws. Rep. Mike Nearman, R-Independ- ence, Rep. Sal Esquivel, R-Medford, and Rep. Greg Barreto, R-Pendleton, certi- fied a ballot title with the Elections Divi- sion for Initiative Petition 2018-022, which is proposed for the November 6, 2018 General Election. The trio is hoping voters will support repealing Oregon Statute 181.850, which states law enforcement agencies may not use agency money, equipment or per- sonnel to detect or apprehend people who are only violating federal immigra- tion laws by being foreign citizens in the United States. Oregonians for Immigration Reform, an organization calling for an end to ille- gal immigration, is “cosigning” the ini- tiative, said communications director Jim Ludwick. “Every nation has a sovereign right to set its own immigration policies and we believe the state statute is in violation of federal law,” Ludwick said. “People should have the chance to vote on this.” Ludwick said OFIR plans to lead a community campaign which includes providing information to residents an gathering signatures for the initiative at places like the Oregon State Fair and oth- er public venues. “We’re going to start a vigorous proc- ess to make sure we overturn the sanctu- ary state of Oregon,” Ludwick said. 88,184 signatures are required to cer- tify the initiative for a ballot measure, according to the Oregon Secretary of State Elections Division. Rep. Nearman and Rep. Barreto did not respond to requests for comment. Rep. Esquivel was out of state and could not be reached by publication time. functions of immigration officers in January, local and state police officials said they would not alter the way they op- erate. Salem Police, Marion County Sher- iff’s Office and Oregon State Police stat- ed they would follow state law as long as it an Oregon statute. Ludwick said, however, local and state law enforcement should follow fed- eral law. “People need to understand the cost of illegal aliens on the state of Oregon,” Ludwick said. The prospective petition is currently in an appeal period. Registered voters have the opportunity to submit com- ments and requests for the Oregon Su- preme Court to review the ballot until Monday, July 31.

She said Causa has passed 14 inclusiv- ity resolutions across Oregon cities and counties that vow to not allow city re- sources to be used to enforce federal im- migration law. Salem City Councilors voted unanimously to pass the resolution in February. Williams said the initiative would un- due the bipartisan effort in 1987 that brought ORS 181.850 into law, which she says was in response to accusations of police racial profiling.
