Former Sen. Margaret Carter of northeast Portland is co-chair of a committee that wants to re-in-
corporate the historic C.W. Parker carousel from Jantzen Beach into a new public attraction such as
along the waterfront, downtown or in urban park setting. Carter is pictured with one of the horses
from the 1921 carousel, which was disassembled and stored away in 2012 when the Janzen Beach
Mall was torn down and redeveloped. Before that it delighted families for generations at the former
Jantzen Beach Amusement Park.

Russell Courtier and Colleen Hunt
On Tuesday, a Multnomah County jury delivered
guilty verdicts against Russell Courtier, a member
of the white supremacist prison gang European Kin-
dred, who struck and killed black teenager Larnell
Bruce with a car outside a Gresham 7-Eleven in
2016.
Courtier, 40, was convicted on all three charges
against him: Murder, hit–and-run, and intimidation,
the last of which is a hate crime charge. His co-de-
fendant, Colleen Hunt, 37, faced the same charges,
but pleaded guilty to manslaughter during the trial.
The murder and hit-and-run verdicts against
Courtier were unanimous; the intimidation charge
was 10-2, which is enough to bring a conviction for
any charge other than murder in Oregon.
The prosecution argued that Courtier was moti-
vated by white supremacist beliefs when he took the
wheel of Hunt’s red Jeep Wrangler and ran down
Bruce, killing him. Witnesses said they heard Hunt
yelling “get him, baby!” and “run him over!” She
later admitted to egging on Courtier.
