though the private

casionally runs deep enough to
change the direction of the lives he
comes in contact with. He recently
talked a former prostitute into re
turning to school at Portland Com
munity College.
Local law enforcement officers
are supportive and impressed with
his results.
“The police are absolutely
amazed," Jenkins said.
His effectiveness at cleaning
up the streets has been noticed
by PC C ’s Cascade Cam pus as
well.
Much of the area is owned by
the college or lies within its expan
sion plan.
He has approached the college
about contracting services to pa
trol Albina south of Killingsworth
w here sev eral vacant houses
owned by the college have been
broken into.
Jenkins thinks the partnership
would be positive for PCC and the
neighborhood.
Jenkins has made such a differ
ence outside his own apartment
building, that he is beginning to
lighten the frequency of his pa
trols. He thinks it all comes down to
community livability and personal
accountability.
“I would really like to see more
people show respect for them
selves and each other,” he said.

W eaver was arrested on Aug. 13 on charges
o f raping his 19-year-old son’s girlfriend. His
distraught son, Francis W eaver, told em er
gency dispatchers after the alleged rape that
his father had adm itted killing A shley and
Miranda.
“I’m sorry that any o f this even happened,”
Francis W eaver said Tuesday on “Good M orn
ing A m erica.” “ I hope that now that (the g irls’
fam ilies) have closure and everything, they
can go on with their lives and live their lives as
good as they can.”
He w ould not give specifics on why he
believes his father killed the girls, saying public

com m ent could hinder prosecutors’ efforts.
The younger W eaver said he w ould have
called 911 even without the alleged rape.
“ It was inevitable,” Francis W eaver said.
“My father probably knew that I was to come
forw ard, and he ju st did that as a grand finale
to his sick schem e.”
Last sum m er, Ashley had accused W ard
W eaver o f m olesting her, but he denied the
allegations and was never charged. Fam ily
m em bers and friends have said they had a
close, and at tim es inappropriate, relationship.
W eaver’s father, W ard Francis W eaver Jr.,
is on death row in C alifornia for two m urders.
A raped and m urdered w om an’s body was
found buried in his yard in 1982.

Barbara Lee
Lee said she voted against
President B u sh 's w ar resolution because it
was a “blank check” that usurped congres
sional pow ers and the Constitution.
“It gave the president the authority to use
force against any nation, organization or indi
vidual that the adm inistration deem ed neces
sary,” she said.
“T here was no tim e frame, no organization
m entioned, no country.
“I believe that w hile we must fight terror
ism. we cannot engage in actions that could
spiral out o f control and lead to more violence
and deaths."
O f course, most A m ericans disagreed with
her. A nd some o f them let her know.

“People don’t plan to be famous, but the fact
is that sometimes there are pivotal moments in
our history when someone stands up and speaks
out,” Piercy said. “It can make a great difference
in the way we proceed as a country."
