WITH TH
LAW
J by Gregory P. Oliveros
Q.
W h a t is negligence? A. Negligence is a legal concept called a Tort. The
meaning o f a T ort is, “ a wrong; a private or c iv il wrong or injury resulting
from a breach o f legal duty that exists by virtue o f society’s expectations
regarding interpersonal c o n d u c t” The meaning o f negligence is, “ failure
to exercise that degree o f care which a person o f ordinary prudence (a
reasonable person) would exercise under the same circumstances.” To
establish a case for negligence, the com plaining party called the p la in tiff,
must prove:
1.
service. Residence rate reductions range
from 19 cents to 38 cents m onthly and
business rate reductions range from
$2.22 to $7.83 m onthly,’ ’ according to
US West Oregon Vice President and
CEO Marsha Congdon. “ Also, cus
tomers w ill receive a one-time credit
up o f up to $24.17 for each current
residence line and up to $60.69 for each
regular business phone line.”
The one time credit is based on the
number o f months the customer has
had the service since January 1, 1990.
“ I f customers have reduced their number
o f lines or disconnected service be
tween January 1. 1990 and December
31, 1991, they may be eligible for an
additional one-time credit,” Congdon
noted. US West is enclosing a credit
form in all Oregon customer b ills and
the defendant, the other party had a duty to conform to a specific stand
o f conduct for the protection o f the p la in tiff against an unreasonable
risk o f injury;
the defendant breached that duty;
the defendant breach was the factual and legal cause o f the p la in tiff’ s
injury;
there exists damage to the p la in tiff’ s person or property.
Q. W h a t is an example o f negligence? A . A n automobile accident where the
p la in tiff asserts that he/shc has suffered either personal and or property
injury because o f the defendant’ s negligent driving.
Q.
M u st the p la in tiff file a law su it in o rd e r to collect damages fro m the
defendant? A. A s a g e n e ra lru le .n o . Damages, “ is monetary compensa
tion which the law awards to one who has been injured by the action o f
another.” Many negligence cases are settled before the p la in tiff brings
form al legal action by filin g a com plaint w ith the court.

The new regulatory plan continues
OPUC overview o f service quality w ith
added benefits fo r both the company
and its customers, according to Cong
don. “ The agreement provides US
West pricing fle x ib ility to respond to
competition, a broader range for earn
ing and a process to share revenues
w ith customers on an ongoing basis.
Customers w ill benefit through the rate
reduction and a five-year “ freeze” on
basic service rates, possible revenue
sharing, and high quality o f service
requirements.”
Revenue sharing from the com
pany’s 1990 operations appeared in bills
last month and w ill continue through
December, 1992, Congdon added.
“ Residence customers began receiv
ing a 44 cent m onthly credit w hile
$1.35 is being credited m onthly fo r
each business line.”
US West first proposed a new set
o f regulatory rules in 1988 to reflect
growing competition for some services
w hile balancing the need for stabilized
basic service rates and m aintaining
service quality. Telecommunications
services are divided into essential
and “ non-essential” categories. Es
sential service rates, such as those for
local basic access are effectively fro
zen for five years. Prices fo r non-
essential services, like C all W aiting or
special business line services can be
adjusted to adjust competition and other
market conditions.

WHEN DORIE MILLER BECAME
OUR COUNTRY'S FIRST WORLD WAR II HERO,
THE REAL BATTLE BEGAN.
Finally, the President of the United States intervened on
Miller's behalf. And in May of 1942, Seaman Third
Class Dorie Miller became the first African-American
to receive the Navy's highest medal, the Navy Cross.
In honor of Black History Month, the Chrysler
Corporation salutes Dorie Miller. His heroism did more
than just earn him a medal. It opened the door which led
to America’s armed forces becoming truly representative
of all its people. In the process they became the most
powerful force for freedom in the world today.
On December 7, 1941, Dorie Miller, a Black
messman, leaped to the anti-aircraft gun of a fallen
comrade and proceeded to shoot down two to five
Japanese fighter planes while under heavy enemy fire.
It was a truly amazing feat. Especially in light of
the fact that he had never fired an anti-aircraft gun in
his life, because the Navy did not give Black servicemen
weapons training.
For his courage and gallantry he should have been
awarded the Navy Cross without question. But certain
powers felt America wasn't ready for a Black hero, so they
downplayed his deed. That’s when the real battle began.
Civil rights groups, Black newspapers and even
white liberals joined forces. They began fighting for
Miller to receive the recognition he rightfully deserved.
