employee parking lots. Some o f the
heists occurred around Northeast
Airport Way, Jantzen Beach and
Portland State University, some­
times two or three locations a night
and often with help from an accom-
plice. Georgioffsaid that Pavlicek is
also alleged to have stolen three
trucks and two motorcycles, having
a particular affinity for Ford trucks
and U-Hauls parked at motels.
Detectives said they got a break
in the case whfcn Pavlicek left some
papers with his name on them in a
truck he was prowling near the air-
port that he backed away from after
being confronted by the owner. The
papers were passed along to police
by the Portland o f Portland.
The big break came on July 3,
when a PSU security officer con-
fronted Pavlicek about a stolen ve-
h id e he had on the campus.
With Pavlicek in custody, offic­
ers obtained search warrants for
several locations in Estacada where
they recovered the loot.
North Precinct Commander Jim
Ferraris said that there were teach­

“If we don’t have people making
reports we can’t re-unite them with

said Merkley in a press re­
lease. “Unfortunately, the
Columbia River Basin has
long been contaminated with
harmful toxic chemicals that
pose a serious threat to hu-
man health, to fish and wild-
life populations, and to the
livelihoods of many Orego-
mans.
The Columbia River Ba­
sin encompasses the largest
river in the Pacific North-
west and one of the largest
river systems in the U. S.,
which still lacks a dedicated
restoration program and
funding. While eight million
people inhabit the basin, dan­
gerous pollutants such as
polychlorinated biphenyls and
other chemicals plague the
river.
The bill will provide grants for
projects prioritized by local stake-
holders to implement a basin-
wide Toxics Reduction Action
Plan and, in the lower Columbia
