Saint-Exupéry
Kyle Evers Patterson, a
bright star to all who knew
him, passed away unexpect-
edly on July 29, 2022. He
was 44.
Kyle was born to Danny
and Christine (Forney) Pat-
terson in Astoria, on July
7, 1978, to the delight of
his older siblings, Kelley
and Tiff any. He grew up in
Knappa and enjoyed sports
and outdoor activities of all
kind.
He attended Hilda Lahti

Knappa High School. After
graduation in 1997, Kyle
enlisted in the U.S. Army
and was deployed to Bosnia
and Herzegovina in support
of Operation Joint Endeavor.
Following his military
service, he worked for sev- friends easily. His greatest
eral seasons in the commer- love was his family and his
cial fi shing industry, both many friends, who were also
on the Columbia
like family to him.

Q: What are my options
for replacing a

Gubernatorial candidate Betsy Johnson signed a petition to put her name on the November ballot in June.
Johnson: ‘They want a better Oregon’

“Why did they do this?”
she asked. “They love Ore-
gon. They want a better
Oregon, free from partisan
paralysis.”
Johnson left without tak-
ing questions from gathered
press.
State elections offi cials
now have until Aug. 30 to
determine whether Johnson
has collected enough valid
signatures. They’ll do so by
sampling petition sheets at
random and using statistical
analysis to fi nd out if she has
met the threshold.
With some high-pro-
fi le endorsements and hefty
donations from fi gures like
Nike co-founder Phil Knight,
Columbia Sportswear CEO
Tim Boyle and heavy equip-
ment dealer The Pape Group,
Johnson’s presence on the
ballot has seemed inevita-
ble since she announced her
candidacy last October. She
has so far outraised Demo-
crat Tina Kotek and Repub-

KOTEK HAS RAISED NEARLY $6

lican Christine Drazan,
though both of those women
have ratcheted up fundrais-
ing in recent weeks.
With Johnson’s candi-
dacy likely to be affi rmed in
coming days, the question
before her is how to solve
the tricky math problem of
winning as a nonaffi liated
candidate.

paign is aimed at both

ing gubernatorial races and

former high-ranking legis-
lative Democrat is as stri-
dently critical of the status
quo under her former party
as many Republicans, and
has not hesitated to insult
her opponents or members
of the media even as she
touts a vision of bipartisan
bridge-building.

play spoiler for one major
party candidate or the other
than be able to attract parti-
san voters she’ll need to win.
Johnson’s presence in the
race is one reason Repub-
licans feel especially hope-
ful this is the year they break
a long losing streak for the
governor’s seat.
As of Tuesday, John-
son had reported raising
more than $10.2 million in
the race, with $4.6 million
still in the bank. Kotek has
raised nearly $6 million in
total, with about $1.3 mil-
lion on hand. Drazan has so
far attracted about $6.1 mil-
lion, but currently has less
than $500,000.
While summer is typi-
cally a slow season for state
campaigns, all three women
have visited county fairs and
other events in recent days,
and all three have spent large
amounts on TV advertising.
They also participated in the
race’s fi rst debate in late July.

A:
Many options exist to address
this situation. Factors which
determine the best option are patient
interest, position of tooth, position
of gum level, height and width of the
bone, esthetic concerns and challenges,
condition of adjacent teeth, and patient
expectations. Available options to
consider and discuss are doing nothing,
fabrication of an economical removable
“flipper,” construction of a fixed bridge,
and placement of a dental implant
supporting an implant crown. The bridge
and implant options are the most durable,
esthetic and pleasing options to consider.
