Rust: Newest member at FRC
| continued from page 1
Besides Rust’s educational back
ground — mas ter ’ s degree in early
childhood education from West
ern Oregon State College and a
bachelor’s degree in elementary
education from the University of
Utah — she also has plenty of
experience. 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. Sheretumed
to graduate school to obtain her
masters degree when her young
est of five was 2 years old.
“It is hard work being a
parent and there is really no for
mal education,” Rust said. She
wants to let young parents know
that she is there to help give sup
port.
Some of Rust and the
FRC plans for the future are to
bring in additional programs to.
work with the family, including
the fathers and grandparents. Rüst'
would also like to set up a family:
day once a month for young par
ents and their children to get to-<
gether with other families.
“Instead of working with?
the individual we would like to
work with the family as a whole,”
Rust replied. .
- “Ilove.whatldo.Icould
not have a better, job. I value what
I do. It is nice to know you feel you
can make a difference,” Rust con
cluded.
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.'

rector did a good job of just gloss
ing over the reason as to why
Shaw would want to investigate
the killings and why the FBI and
CIA couldn’t solve the case.
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. Two thumbs up if
you haven’t read the book yet
One and a half thumbs up if you
have.
