In Loving Memory
Linda Kaye Marfell-Pitts
Linda Kay Marfell was bom July 23,1943, to
Chester and Maxine Marfell in Minneapolis,
Minn. She passed away Aug. 21, 2010, after
suffering a heart attack.
Linda was a graduate of Madison High
School, class of 1961, and had remained friends
with many of her classmates.
Shortly after high school, she married
Marshall Pitts and together they had three
sons, Jerry, Chip and Jason. Jason died in
infancy, Linda and Marshall later divorced.
Linda loved to travel and had visited most
of the world. She was especially fond of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She was
an avid bowler and belonged to leagues for over 40 years. Her teams
bowled in tournaments all over the country.
She owned Oregon Plating Company on Southeast Sixth Avenue for
about 30 years and recently retired.
Preceding her in death was her father, Chester. She is survived by her
mother, Maxine and sons, Jerry and Chip; grandchildren, Libby, Travis
and Christopher; brothers, Peter and Scott Marfell; and sister: Connie
Marfell.

Minimum Wage Increase Coming
New rate of
$8.50 takes
effect on Jan. 1
Beginning Jan. 1, the minimum
wage for workers in Oregon will
raise from $8.40 per hour to $8.50.
A ccording to the Oregon Bu­
reau o f L abor and Industries,
which announced the raise M on­
day, the 10-cent increase is tied to
this y ear’s 1.15 percent cost of
living increase for inflation, as
revealed in the August Consum er
Price Index.
“It is critical, with our economy
still straining to regain its m om en­
tum, that O regon’s lowest wage
earners not lose ground by falling
behind inflation. At the same time,
this modest increase will not shock
businesses in a way that hurts the
econom ic recovery,” said BOLI
C om m issioner Brad Avakian.
In 2002, voters approved the
adjustment in Ballot Measure 25,
which requires an annual minimum
wage adjustment based on changes
in inflation as defined by the Con­
sumer Price Index.

announce an annual wage increase
from $8.55 later this fall, Oregon has
the highest minimum wage rate in
the country, according to the U.S.
Department o f Labor, and is one of
10 states that annually adjust the
minimum wage to keep up with eco­
nomic conditions.
For the people struggl ing to main­
tain above the poverty line during
such economic hardships, a bleaker
picture is painted. Under the new
wage, a full-time minimum wage
worker will earn $ 17,680 a year.
Though a single, 20s-something
student who bikes to their part-time
job and school might cheer the 10
extra cents increase, a full-time mini­
mum wage worker with a family of
three and car payments to make,
would need to earn greater than
$8.80 per hour to climb above the
federal poverty line.
Steve Robinson, analyst for Or­
egon Center for Public Policy, is
confident that a higher minimum
wage is good for the economy, be­
cause it puts money in the pockets
of low-income workers.
“They tend to spend that money
quickly and locally, and that helps
maintain and create other jobs,” he
said.
