2B ܂ WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 2018 ܂ APPEAL TRIBUNE New July 1: Minimum wage, transport tax Connor Radnovich Salem Statesman Journal USA TODAY NETWORK Oregon workers will see a minimum wage hike and a new transportation tax effective July 1, courtesy of new state statutes. According to the Oregon Employment Department, about 13,000 jobs in Marion and Polk counties paid the current $10.25 minimum wage or less in the third quar- ter of 2017. Those workers will see a 50 cent bump as the rate increases to $10.75 per hour in this region. Workers in the Portland area will see the minimum wage grow to $12 per hour (a 75-cent increase), while more rural parts of the state will also get a 50 cent in- crease to $10.50. The Oregon Legislature passed this law in 2016, building in a set increase in minimum wage until 2022, at which point the wage becomes tied to inflation. Sa- lem's 2022 minimum wage will be $13.50 per hour. About 7.4 percent of jobs in Oregon — a little more than 160,000 — paid the minimum wage or less in the third quarter of 2017, according to the employment de- partment. .001 percent transportation tax The massive transportation package that passed in 2017 included a raft of revenue-raising proposals, one of which being a small percentage tax on employee's wages. The .001 percent transit tax withholds $1 of salary for every $1,000 of wages. For a worker earning OBITUARIES Steven Sidney Wareham Nov. 23, 1943 — June 24, 2018 Steven Sidney Wareham, 74, of Silverton passed away Sunday, June 24, 2018. He was born Nov. 23, 1943, in Cozad, Nebras- ka, to Jim and Ruby Wareham. His hobbies included hunting, fish- ing, golfing and working in his vegeta- ble garden. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl; Steven brother, James Wareham; son, Craig; Sidney daughters Terri Hienz, Kris Price and Wareham Kim Mitchell; nine grandchildren, sev- en great-grandchildren and a wide- spread of family and friends who loved him deeply! There will be a viewing at Unger Funeral Chapel from noon to 7 p.m. Friday, July 6. Services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 7, at Miller Cemetery with a cel- ebration of life service to follow at 1 p.m. at First Christian Church. Arrangements and additional information are provided at www.ungerfuneralchapel.com. $50,000 per year, $50 will now go toward financing public transportation projects and improvements statewide. Workers in Oregon won't have to do anything as the tax comes online. Application will be similar to the personal income tax — employees pay the tax, but em- ployers are responsible for withholding it from wages. A seismic retrofit of the Center Street Bridge in Sa- lem is among the projects funded by the transporta- tion package. Changes for public schools A handful of laws affected public education passed during the past couple legislative sessions are also ef- fective starting Sunday, in advance of the 2018-2019 school year. Among them are two laws that change communica- tion requirements in difficult situations in public schools. If a student alleges sexual misconduct, House Bill 4150 requires school districts to notify students and their parents when the investigation is concluded, what violations occurred and what the district is doing to ensure the misconduct doesn't happen again. Lawmakers involved in the unanimous passage of the bill said it's a good first step, but they will revisit the issue in 2019. For students with Individualized Education Plans or 504 Plans who have placed themselves or others at risk of physical harm, House Bill 3318 requires school districts to conduct a behavioral review and an inter- Workers in the Portland area will see the minimum wage grow to $12 per hour (a 75-cent increase), while more rural parts of the state will also get a 50 cent increase to $10.50.

Sara Gelser, D-Cor- vallis, is to better identify why kids are acting a certain way so a plan can be put into place that will mitigate future issues without simply removing the student. "We really need to do a better job of understanding," Gelser said. "Taking kids out of class just kicks the can down the road."

Capt. William Fugate is accused of harassing his then wife on two occasions in May and June of 2017. Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said he reviewed five additional domestic violence al- legations against Fugate, but the statute of limita- tions had already expired on those accusations, ac- cording to a news release. “Unfortunately, domestic violence is far too com- mon in our community,” Hummel said in the release. “These allegations against William Fugate are similar to hundreds of domestic violence cases my office prosecutes every year.” Fugate was initially placed on paid administrative leave in March when the allegations came to light. He has been with the State Police for almost 11 years. “While Captain Fugate is entitled to due process, the Oregon State Police strongly condemns acts of do- mestic violence, which is especially alarming and dis- graceful when involving a police officer,” said Travis Hampton, Oregon State Police superintendent, in a news release. “Conduct of this nature is grossly unac- ceptable and employees that engage in these actions have no place in law enforcement.” Fugate will be arraigned 1:15 p.m. July 10.

Thomas Porter Eldred Oct. 26, 1946 — June 12, 2018 Thomas Porter Eldred was born on Oct. 26, 1946, in Minot, North Dakota. The fourth of five children of Porter and Dawn Eldred, Tom graduated from Silver- ton Union High School in 1964. He enlisted in the U.S. Army following graduation and served as a Dental Technician in Vietnam. Returning home following his service, he held var- ious jobs, including working at Orville Roth’s new grocery store, before going to work alongside his fa- ther as a custodian at Mark Twain Junior High. While an injury later in life cut his working career short, he supplemented his income by mowing lawns and recycling cans, and was well known for both. He also spent considerable time maintaining a connec- tion to the elderly who had entered local care facil- ities and was a formidable family historian, valuing the memory of our older generations. He helped de- liver meals for the Senior Center and was always will- ing to help someone in need. He spent many years rescuing and providing care to cats who were either stray or orphaned once their family members had passed away and was known by many as the Cat Man. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters Linda Gentry and Sally Meisenheimer; and niece Robin Gentry. He is survived by sisters Lorna Stein- berger and Jane Bolton; nephews Keving and Kyle Palmer, Mike Steinberger, Darin and Corey Meisen- heimer, and Jason Satern; and nieces Lisa LeFran- cois, Kasey Jones and Amy Bruntz. He is also sur- vived by his final housemate, Boomer. In keeping with his wishes, no formal services were held, but we had an informal gathering to re- member Tom at the Home Place Restaurant on Sat- urday, June 30. Donations in Tom’s name can be made to the Sil- verton Senior Center, Salem Friends of Felines, or our local VFW.
