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.”

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.

Andrea Williams, executive director
of immigrant rights organization Causa
Oregon, said Causa has been keeping an
eye on the initiative ever since it was
filed.
“The last thing we need is our local
law enforcement resources being used
for federal immigration purposes,” Wil-
liams said.
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.
When President Donald Trump re-
leased an executive order that halted
federal funding to sanctuary cities and
allowed law enforcement to perform the
