Sharing the Limelight Teen group barges in on Rihanna’s party ( AP) — There may have been no signature moment at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, but there was a signature sound: the screams of teenage girls wild about One Direc tion. It stopped just short of a British invasion, but the hunky teens in the boy band won three awards on Thursday night's show and barged in on Rihanna's party. Rihanna kicked off things with a spicy performance to open Thurs day night's show, then ended it by taking the show's top honor, video of the year, for her steamy hit "We Found Love." "Doesn't my girl Rihanna look sexy tonight?" Katy Perry asked the crowd after the performance. And the night's lead nominee did, showing up in a pixie cut and a figure-hugging, elegant scoop- backed white dress before chang ing into a flowing red outfit for her medley of new single "Cockiness (I Love It)" with rapper A$AP Rocky and "We Found Love." She brushed imaginary dust from her shoulder as she walked to the stage to thank fans and her creative team. The camera returned to the pop star often — except when it was on One Direction, which provided the night's most screamed-over perfor mance. The band won best pop video, best new artist and most share-worthy video. Chris Brown pulled off something of an upset in the best male video category. Rihanna's former boy friend won for his self-directed video "Turn Up The Music," beating out several top stars, including Drake, who tied Rihanna for most nomina tions with five. Brown also won for best cinematography. M.I.A. was the night's only other multiple win ner, taking two off-camera awards for direction and cinematography. MMMMHI Education Leader c o n t i n u e d f r o m page 10 Ladd said she is also devoted to strengthening community ties. “One of my goals as a board member is to help the community see PCC as fully theirs, that it is part of the fabric of the community for learning, dialoguing and gathering. PCC is a resource for workforce development as well as gaining credit in high school, hearing a thought provoking lecture, or earning a de gree. I want the people who come on campus, regardless of race or socio economic status... to feel it’s their home.” Ladd holds a Masters Degree in Education Policy and Management from Harvard University and is a board member with Camp Fire USA, is a board member of the Portland Leadership Foundation and is a steering committee member with the Cradle to Career Initiative. Williams died in July after more than two decades on the PCC board. Ladd will have to run for election in the May Primary to keep the Zone 2 position, which serves north and northeast Portland and Columbia County. Dwight A. Terry Oregon License CO-3644 Amy S.
