“Ma’am, are you pleading
guilty to these charges because
it’s what you did?” Geyer
asked her.
“Yes,” Sosa-Martinez re-
sponded.
“Has anyone threatened
you in any way to get you to
enter these pleas?” Geyer then
asked.
“No,” Sosa-Martinez said.
“Has anyone promised
you anything, other than the
promise of the state to make
a certain recommendation?
Other than that, has anyone
promised you anything to get
you to plead guilty today?”
Geyer asked.
“No,” Sosa-Martinez re-
sponded.
At the time of the fatal fi re,
Sosa-Martinez already had a
court case against her for child
neglect. She pleaded guilty in
March 2012 and was on pro-
bation, but police found her
with drugs again in 2013.
“I understand you have a
probation violation pending
right now in docket number
11C47710,” Geyer said to So-
sa-Martinez during the June 9
hearing, which lasted less than
15 minutes. “Do you under-
stand that if you plead guilty
in this case, you will almost
certainly be found in violation
in probation in that 11C case?
Do you understand that?”
“Yes,” Sosa-Martinez re-
plied.

personnel responded to a fi re
call at the Sosa-Martinez resi-
dence. The body of her son
was found inside shortly after
fi refi ghters arrived.
A witness told the Keizer-
times Sosa-Martinez did not
go back in an attempt to save
her son and instead “started
texting like nothing was hap-
pening. We couldn’t fi gure out
what the hell she was doing.”
Some clues were provided
in the initial court appearance
for Sosa-Martinez a few days
after the fi re.
“(There was) the use of
marijuana by the defendant’s
admission on the day that her
child passed away,” Marion
County deputy district attor-
ney Katie Suver said at that
appearance. “The defendant
has a history of marijuana use
which has resulted in ongoing
criminal sanctions.”
Suver also referenced Sosa-
Martinez pleading guilty in
2012 to child neglect and not-
ed the mom had been found
in possession of marijuana
twice since then.

“It will be kids friendly
from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily,
with a kids menu,” Case said.
“It’s a segment we want to
serve.”
The plan, according to
Case, is to eventually be open
from 7 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. each
day, which means having a
staff of least 20 employees (up
from four) by opening day.
While reaching the entire
family, Case noted there will
also be full lottery and a pub
atmosphere for adults after 9
p.m.
“It will be a bistro pub, with
an emphasis on the food,” he
said.
Fred Martin, one of the
employees for the Graues, will
be continuing with the new
ownership.
“I’m super excited,” Martin
said. “It sounds like an awe-
some concept and a great op-
portunity.”
Case has visions of being
highly visible in Keizer.
“We want to outreach and
be involved in local schools
and sports organizations,” he
said. “We want to really be-

“If he wants to run it, he can
come part of the community

Case said his group was
looking to open outside of the
Portland area a few months
ago and came across The Pub
in February when it was for
sale.
“This was one of many
locations we looked at along
River Road,” Case said.
“This is an excellent location,
with residential and business
around. The proximity to both
go ahead and do that. The
schedule can be adjusted on
really hot days if we want to
run it because of weather con-
ditions.”

and to I-5 were big factors. We
also didn’t have to build this
into a restaurant or build from
the ground up.”
Denny Graue confi rmed
on Tuesday he had sold The
Pub after having it for sale
about four months.
“The support wasn’t that
great,” said Graue, who had
turned the business into a
sports bar. “We were los-
ing money. We found an op-
portunity in Silverton with
Towne House Restaurant and
Lounge. The place is very well
established, with a good repu-
tation in town.”
After making such a big
change at The Pub, including
the addition of a number of
TVs, Graue admitted he was
hoping for more success.
“It was disappointing, but
if the business isn’t thriving
there’s no use in keeping go-
ing,” he said. “There are so
many bars along River Road,
the city can only support so
much. The reputation of the
place after Don Porter passed
got worse and worse. We were
trying to fi x the mistakes of
everyone that came after him.”

“Robert and I have evalu-
ated the options of increasing
the operation of the Splash
Fountain to provide additional
opportunities for the com-
munity to enjoy this amenity,”
Lawyer said at the time. “We
have determined that we can
operate the Splash Fountain
on Mondays and Tuesdays
from noon to 5 p.m. without
a signifi cant impact to the op-
erations budget for the parks
system.”
