read, her “top picks” based
on the interviews.
But she also likes to “leave
the door open” in case a men-
tor has “a gut reaction read-
ing a profile, something I did-
n’t think about, something
that’s in the profile that tugs
at their heartstrings that did-
n’t come up in the inter-
view,” Ziegler said.
Making a match and call-
ing the Little with the good
news is a favorite part of the
job, as is introducing a Little
to their Big for the first time.
But that’s only part of the
story. At any given time,
Ziegler has between 45 and
50 Big/Little matches to
maintain in both Hood River
and Klickitat counties. She
checks in with new pairs
each month to “make sure
the matches are going well, if
there are issues I can help
troubleshoot or mediate —
that’s my primary goal,” she
said. For established match-
es of a year or more, she
checks in quarterly.
While the mentoring com-
mitment is one year, Ziegler
finds most matches stay to-
gether an average of three.
Some go on even longer: She
has one match spanning 11
years, with the Little gradu-
ating from high school this
spring. All matches automat-
ically close when the Little
graduates high school.
Matches can close for
other reasons, though they
typically fall into one of two
categories: Relocation of the
Big (in which the Little has
the option to be paired with a
new mentor), or the Little no
longer requiring mentoring
services.
“Sometimes Littles out-
grow the match — they’re in
high school and busy with
school, sports, friends and
other things, and if they’re
doing well and are well ad-
justed, then we have no prob-
lem closing up the match,”
she said.
One common misconcep-
tion about mentoring is that
you must possess certain
qualities in order to volun-
teer. “A lot of people feel they
don’t have the right skills to
be a mentor, but you know, if
you’re over 18 and you’re re-
sponsible, and would enjoy

age can be delivered. This
bill was introduced at the re-
quest of Cascade Brewing
Company, a Portland brew-
ery.
Rep. Johnson noted in an
interview with the News that
the legislature continually
encounters archaic legisla-
tion governing alcoholic bev-
erages that needs to be modi-
fied “as the craft brewing in-
dustry continues to grow by
leaps and bounds.”

SB 320: Allows for food es-
tablishments located inside
residential dwellings to sell
limited amounts of baked
goods and “confectionery
items” to the public without
being regulated by The State
Department of Agriculture.
The food can only be sold to
the “end user” of the product
and cannot be sold to entities
such as stores, restaurants,
caterers, etc.
Annual gross sales of the
products are not allowed to
exceed $20,000. The food
products must not be “poten-
tially hazardous,” meaning
they require temperature
controls to prevent food-
borne illnesses, and they
must have a label informing
consumers that the food is
“homemade and not pre-
pared in an inspected food
establishment.”
SB 408: Allows for the ap-
propriation of funds for the
creation of exhibits at the
new Oregon Military Muse-
um as well as for capital ex-
penditures to help establish
and maintain the museum
and to pay salaries for muse-
um administrators.

spending about eight hours a
month being a friend to a
kid, you have what it takes,”
Ziegler said.
The program is particular-
ly in need of Big Brothers be-
cause those are the requests
most often received. The
waitlist is “a little lopsided”
— more boys put in requests
to be Littles, while more
women volunteer to be Bigs.
When she’s not working on
matches, she’s working on
one of several events put on
by BBBS throughout the
year. This week, she’s been
confirming guest speakers
for an upcoming mentor
training Feb. 7, as well as lin-
ing up volunteers to work at
the annual Lasagna Feed and
Raffle fundraiser on Feb. 13.
And last Saturday, BBBS
held its annual mentor ap-
preciation lunch in honor of
National Mentoring Month.
Ziegler also helps coordi-
nate special activities for
Bigs and Littles to enjoy to-
gether. Every summer, Big
Winds puts on a paddling
clinic and the Gorge Wind-
surfing Association a wind-
surfing clinic, and in the
spring and fall, BBBS puts on
a party at the Hood River
Aquatic Center.
Ziegler earned a Bachelors
in Sociology from Whitworth
University in Spokane,
Wash., in 2009. Her first job

SB 439: Creates the Out-
door Education Account,
which appropriates funds to
the Oregon State University
Extension Service for the
purpose of implementing
outdoor school programs for
fifth- and sixth-grade stu-
dents.
The pro g rams are de-
scribed in the legislation as a
“six-day, residential, hands-
on educational experience
featuring field study oppor-
tunities” to help students
lear n about the natural
world as well as the impor-
tance of natural resources to
the state’s economy and the
importance of preserving
them.
The bill would take $44
million from the general
fund and deposit it into the
Outdoor Education Account
for the biennium starting
July 1, 2015, when the legisla-
tion is scheduled to take ef-
fect if it is passed.
SB 482: Allows Oregon

Committee to advise the de-

graphic regions located with-
in the Willamette Valley and
Columbia River corridor.”
The Pacific Northwest Man-

scribed in the legislation as a
“collaborative alliance” of
governmental, educational,
and manufacturing entities.

64 Growler Station plans
to open in April
ing as an independent living
skills trainer in Yakima,
Wash., helping young adults
aging out of foster care.
When husband Jeremey got
a job at Cloud Cap, a local
technology company, in 2010,
the couple moved to Hood
River.
Because her Yakima office
covered Klickitat County,
Ziegler continued to work
with foster children from a
satellite office located in her
home. Ultimately, she decid-
ed she wanted something
more — hours and an office
setting — and applied for
Match Coordinator position.
What keeps her coming
back to her cubical each day
is simple: “The prospect of
finding just the right men-
tors for the kids on my wait-
list,” she said. “Some kids
are easy to match, but others,
not so much. Some kids sit
on my waitlist for two years
before I’m able to find the
right mentor for them. But
when I find the right one, Lit-
tles and their parents agree
that it was worth the wait.
“I guess you could say I
like the challenge,” she
added. “And I love that feel-
ing of meeting a prospective
mentor and just knowing
which Little they would be
great with. Calling the Little
and their parents with the
good news makes me walk on
air for the rest of the day.
And introducing a Little to
their Big brings happy tears
to my eyes every time.”

In April “64” Growler Sta-
tion and Tap House will open
in historic downtown Hood
River, at 110 Third St. (most
recently the location of The
Chocolate Lab; it’s half a
block down from Oak).
While growlers can be
filled at just about any brew-
ery or licensed outlet, this
will be Hood River’s first full-
fledged growler station.
Owners Lorraine Lyons
and Rod Steward, long-time
White Salmon residents,
plan to immediately recycle
a portion of their profits into
Columbia Gorge area non-
profits.
They have dubbed their
idea “Kegs for a Cause” and
are passionate about making
good for the community and
integral part of their bottom
line. Lyons and Steward re-
ceived a start-up loan from
the Mid-Columbia Economic
Development District on the
condition that they have a
certain amount of cash col-
lateral. They are 19 percent
short on the cash require-
ment and plan to make up
the difference using social
media and Indiegogo, a popu-
lar crowd funding website.
They’ve signed a lease and
will offer a rotating selection
filing in the course of an in-
vestigation. Specifically the
law says that “in conducting
a routine or spontaneous in-
vestigatory activity” or “in
conducting an investigatory
activity in connection with
an investigation,” a “law en-
forcement officer may not
rely on age, race, ethnicity,
color, national origin, lan-
guage, gender, sexual orien-
tation, political affiliation,
religion, homelessness or
mental disability as an iden-
tifying characteristic or cir-
cumstance of an individual.”
Law enforcement cannot
rely on these factors “except
in a specific suspect descrip-
tion related to a criminal in-
cident or suspected criminal
activity, to select an individ-
ual for or subject the individ-
ual to the routine or sponta-
neous investigatory activi-
ty,” or “to the extent that
credible information rele-
vant to the locality or time
frame links the individual to
an identified criminal inci-
dent or criminal activity.”
The legislation describes the
parameters for a “routine or
spontaneous investigatory
activity” as including “an in-
terview, a detention, a traffic
stop, a pedestrian stop, a
frisk or other type of bodily
search and a search of per-
sonal or real property.”
The bill also requires pro-
cedures for complaints to be
filed and investigated and
disciplinary actions to be
levied against offending offi-
cers. The Attorney General
may publish a report of the
findings, but names are re-
quired to be redacted “to pre-
vent disclosure of personal
identifying information of
law enforcement officers and
complainants.”
SB 492: Amends a law al-
ready on the books govern-
ing leave for employees who
are victims of domestic vio-
lence, harassment, sexual as-
sault or stalking or are the
parents or guardians of a
minor child or dependent
who is a victim of the same
crimes. Allows victims to use
accrued sick leave or person-
al business leave in addition
to paid vacation time.
HB 2648: Creates Outdoor
Education Account. See SB
439.

SB 336: This bill would
take $900,000 from the gener-
al fund for the biennium
starting July 1, 2015 and ap-
propriate it to the Oregon
Health Authority in order to
“establish parity in the fund-
ing formula for school-based
health centers.”
The legislation declares an
emergency and would go into
effect July 1, 2015.

First, a BIG correction:
The Jan. 28 article on the
new group Breweries In The
Gorge got two things wrong:
the spelling of the first name
of president Christine Ellen-
berger, and the alliance’s
acronym; it’s BIG.
Breweries In The Gorge
brings together 11 breweries
in Oregon and Washington
for collective marketing, pro-
motion and events. BIG has
created a map that will be
out soon, along with the web-
site
www.breweries
inthegorge.com.
BIG will have a strong
presence at the Feb. 14
Zwickelmania event, the an-
nual statewide brewery open
house event held each year
on Presidents’ Day weekend.

and local wine. There will be
ample space for visitors to
relax and enjoy a pint.
Customers will also be
able to bring in or purchase a
refillable growler container
and take their selections
home. “We’d like to turn Ore-
gon’s love of craft beer into
an opportunity to give back
to the community,” said
Lyons.
64 will open its doors in
April and have already gar-
nered the support of local
brewers and restaurateurs.

Full Sail brings out
Double Bock
Full Sail Brewing has an-
nounced the release of Dou-
ble Bock in its rotating line
of beers called the Full Sail
Pub Series.
Executive brewer Jamie
Emmerson describes it as
“lush and full-bodied with
hints of caramel, coffee and
chocolate in the aroma fol-
lowed by flavors of caramel
and dried figs with a long
creamy smooth finish.”
Double Bock (ABV 7 per-
cent IBU 34) is brewed with 2
row Pale, Munich, Caramel,
and Chocolate Malts and
hopped with Santiam and
Perle hops. This gold medal
winner will be available in
six packs and on draft.
SB 337: This bill would
take $1.4 million from the
general fund for the bienni-
um starting July 1, 2015 and
appropriate it to the Oregon
Health Authority to establish
11 new school-based health
centers. The legislation’s
summary does not state
where those health centers
might be located.
The legislation declares an
emergency and would go into
effect July 1, 2015.
