While working for several years in the field, she is also a mother of five with children ranging from 9 to 25 years old. “Raising five children and life experience has taught me as much as my graduate school,” she said. “I’m a firm believer in life experience. “I’m in the process my self of balancing work and fam ily, ’’Rustcontinued.

Refinancing saves taxpayers Clackamas Community College has refinanced a portion of its $9.5 million bonded debt in order to take advantage of lower interest rates, saving taxpayers money. The bonds were approved by district voters in 1989 to help fund construction of a Learning Resource Center and the Oregon Advanced Technology Center in Wilsonville. Gary Dirrim, Dean of College Services, anticipates acu- mulativesavingsof$403,400over the life of the 20-year bonds. The savings were achieved by refinancing $7.3 million of the original bond issue, which had an average interest rate of 6.7 per cent The proceeds of new bonds are issued at an average interest rate of 5.2 percent. Dirrim said it was diffi cult to estimate the impact of the bond refinancing on individual tax rates, but he anticipated that future rates should fall approxi mately one-half to one cent below the original estimate of 9 cents per $1,000of assessed property value. ' “If a student is a taxpayer then it will cost them less in prop erty taxes because bond market interest rates have dropped,” Dirrim said “This won’t impact college operations.” The current rate paid by taxpayers on Clackamas* general obligation bond is 8.4 cents per $1,000 assessed value. All bonds will be retiredin 2009. Grisham's 'Pelican Brief' now a new movie ■ The latest major motion picture based on the author's bestselling novel Is reviewed by Michele Myers Staff Writer "The Pelican Brief," star ring Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts, is an adaptation of John Grisham’sbookofthesamename. Aspiring Tulane law Stu dent, Darby Shaw, (Roberts) un covers an “unlikely little theory” on who assassinated two Supreme Court Justices. The theory be comes known as 'The Pelican Brief.'

By a string of unlikelies, Shaw’s “brief ’ finds its way into the White House and the hands of the bad guys. Of course, in D.C., there’s little difference. The bad guys now want Shaw dead and the Pelican Brief quieted. Gray Grantham, (Wash; ington) a Washington Herald re porter, is alerted by Shaw after her boyfriend/professor and an FBI agent are killed. Together they do some far-fetched detective work while dodging the killers and car bombs, to get the confirmation they needed to bring down the money-hungry bad guys and the White House. "The Pelican Brief fol lows Grisham’s book much more closely than his other movie, "The Firm." Those who were disap pointed by the way-outta-there ending in the movie version ..of "The Firm" will find comfort with- knowing that only a few facts and happenings are twistedHollywood style in "The Pelican Brief.” Roberts does some of her best work here as Shaw, refresh ing after so many mediocre roles. Washington definitely stole the show as he portrayed an even more dynamic role than was written in Grisham's novel ver sion. He is strong, cool and much more attractive than thebookmade him out to be and this adds to the Hollywood style variation at the ending. 'The Pelican Brief - a good flick.
