be a short speech, followed by the march
heading west on Burnside and turning
onto Stark Street heading east. The march
then gets back onto SW Broadway, past
Pioneer Square, turns left onto Madison,
and finally gathers at Terry Schrunk Plaza.
PERC estimated anywhere between
1,500-3,000 participants in the march,
but held out hope that this number could
grow larger as the date approaches. The
group plans to also hold a large public
strategy meeting on November 10 to dis­
cuss what has happened since Proposition
8, the outcomes of the Washington and
Maine initiatives, and to map a strategy
for the future.
Portland Equal Rights Coalition meets
every Monday night at 7 p.m. at the
Dorothy Day Catholic Workers House
(330 SE 11th Ave.) in Southeast Portland.
The group is actively looking for more
volunteers, and is planning on meeting at
The Roxy (1121 SW Stark St.) on Friday,
October 16 at 9:30 p.m., and Holocene
(1001 SE Morrison St.) during Gaycation
on Saturday, October 17 at 9:30 p.m. to
distribute fliers and educate people about
the march.

Campaign To Recall
Sam Adams Update
As Jasun Wurster tallied petitions on
Monday, October 5 collected over 90 days
of volunteer canvassing, word came of a
new recall effort, this time with paid signa­
ture collectors and the reported financial
backing of over a dozen area business
leaders. An organizational meeting was set
to take place October 14, though Just Out
had no further details, nor names, as of
press time.
Chief petitioner and spokesperson
Wurster, whose grassroots Community
to Recall Sam Adams campaign raised
upwards of $18,000 in cash and in-kind
donations, said representatives from a new
group calling itself Portland Future PAC
approached him before the campaign’s
conclusion about launching a profession­
ally run recall effort.
Over 32,100 signatures were needed by
the October 5 deadline to qualify a recall
election for the ballot. Wurster claimed
he had about 30,000 signatures, collected
from over 700 volunteers, which he would
turn over to the new group to use as a
starting-point for the next signature­
gathering campaign. Oregon law does not
prohibit a second group from mounting a
recall bid.
Portland Future PAC filed paperwork
with the Secretary of State’s office on
Friday, October 10, with plans to submit
its own petition to the Portland City
Auditor’s office by the end of the month.
Like Wurster and Co.’s campaign,
Portland Future PAC would have 90
days from filing to assemble the re­
quired number of valid signatures from
registered Portland voters.
Wurster announced he would not
play a role in the new effort, and that
new leaders would soon step forward,
though he, along with Community to
Recall Sam Adams Treasurer Theresa
McGuire, were listed as contacts for
Portland Future PAC. Calls to W urster
and Portland Future PAC had not been
returned as of press time.Just Out will
continue to follow the story in print and

Imperial Sovereign
Rose Court Corona­
tion to Name New Rose
Emperor, Empress this
Weekend
Portland’s oldest GLBT organization
will hold its 51st coronation Saturday,
October 17 at the Melody Ballroom (615
SE Alder St.) to crown Rose Empress LI,
and Rose Emperor XXXVI.
Scott Seibert is the only candidate in
contention to be crowned Rose Emperor
XXXVI during Saturday’s ceremony, while
Ciara Dela’Rosa and Candi Wrapper are
candidates for Rose Empress LI. Were
Candi Wrapper—who was crowned
Rose Empress XXI 30 years ago—to be
crowned, she would be the first Empress to
be crowned twice.
The coronation ceremony is themed
“From Broadway to Hollywood: A Night
of Musicals,” and the evening will begin
with a Broadway-type production, said
Rose Emperor V Frank Schreckenberger,
in addition to various invited entertainers.
Friday, October 16 will celebrate
decades’ past Rose Court royalty at
Embers Avenue (110 NW Broadway) for
“A Monarch’s Reception.”The affair begins
at 5 p.m. with a no-host bar. The “Out of
Town Show” starts at 7 p.m., featuring
monarchs from outside of the Imperial
Sovereign Rose Court. Tickets are $15.
Past Rose Court royalty will also be a
major part of the coronation ceremony,
with 50-year anniversary honorees down
to 10-year anniversary honorees giving
presentations. The ceremony will also
commemorate the yearlong reigns of
Rose Emperor XXXV J.L. Thompson and
Empress L Krystal Lynn Benoit. Voting
for the coronation took place on October
11, and the evening will culminate with
the announcement of the winners.
“The most important part of the corona­
tion is that it’s a celebration of the court’s
involvement in the community, the exten­
sive fundraising that’s been done through­
out the year for various charities, and the
scholarship,” explained Schreckenberger.
Saturdays Coronation 2009 kicks off at
6 p.m. (doors at 5 p.m.). Tickets are S50. Get
more information at www.rosecourt.org.
