The Q uestions:
mograms from the Oregon and southwest
Washington affiliate o f the Susan G . Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation as a result of a
high-profile public outreach effort. “T h is...is
a direct result of our frustration that so many
Northwest women need critical breast health
services and don’t know that the local Komen
Foundation provides these services year-round
to women in need,” executive director Sue
Fratl said.
The campaign includes a series of televi
sion
announcem ents
airing
in
the
Portland/Vancouver market and throughout
the state of Oregon as well as a 24-hour hot
line. It seeks to increase the number of women
helped by local Komen programs by spotlight
ing the health services available in the com
munity, many o f which are offered free or at
reduced cost.
Since the campaign hit the airwaves in mid-
April, the affiliate has seen the number of calls
to the hot line triple. “In the first six months of
the year, the local Komen affiliate has provided
more than 1,300 breast exams free of charge to
local women,” Fratt added.

M urderer S enten ced
he man who murdered former Portlander
Eric Franklin Plunkett will spend the rest
of his life in jail, PlanetOut.com reported
July 10.
The gay 19-year-old was killed Sept. 28,
2000, in his dormitory room at Gallaudet Uni
versity in Washington, D.C. Joseph Mesa, 22,
murdered another student, 19-year-old Ben
jamin Varner, in February 2001 before police
arrested him later that month.
A judge handed down six life sentences
without a chance for parole. Mesa also received
a 50-year sentence for burglary and robbery in
Plunketts case and 60 more years for burglary
and robbery involving Varner.
Attorneys reportedly tried using the “gay
panic” defense, blaming the murders on “rage
resulting from an
unwanted
ad
vance.” Police tes
tified the actual
motive was not
hate but robbery.
Plunkett grew
up in Portland and
attended Oregon
School for the Deaf
in Salem. He gradu
ated from Minneso
ta State Academy
for the Deaf in
1999.
Gallaudet is the
only liberal arts
university for deaf
students in the
world. Plunkett was
elected secretary of
the Lambda Soci
ety, a gay and les
bian campus group,
a few days before
his death. in
