HOAX: Hodgen said alert system worked well
sage was too dramatic. “I take
full responsibility for that.”
That fear prompted multi-
ple people Friday evening to
contact the East Oregonian
about the message, which
detailed a woman being shot
in her vehicle by passengers
wearing bandannas over
their faces driving on coun-
ty roads north of Pendleton.
The message also warned
that the suspects “may stop
at a ranch for cover.”
Hodgen said public safety
is his top priority, and at the

inequities, similar to today’s
problems in Oregon.
“Now, the answers to these
questions are complicated — I
know that — and no one per-
son, least of all me, has all the
answers,” Kitzhaber said.
“But if we begin by asking
the right questions, I know we
can make progress, because an
Oregon economy that moves
some of us forward while
leaving others behind dimin-
ishes progress for everyone.”
Kitzhaber, a Democrat
who turns 68 in March, was
sworn in by former Chief
Justice Paul De Muniz for a
fourth term. He was governor
from 1995 to 2003, and after
sitting out eight years, was
elected to a record third term
in 2010. He was re-elected
Nov. 4 by just under half the
1.5 million votes cast.
Kitzhaber was an emergen-
cy-room physician when he
was elected to the House from
a Douglas County district in
1978. Two years later, he was
elected to the Senate, where he
served for 12 years, eight of
them as Senate president.

that arose from a high-speed
chase through the Palouse re-
gion on Saturday.
Idaho authorities have
issued a separate arrest war-
rant for Lee for investigation
“I was inspired because of
his passion and sincerity and
his courage to speak from the
heart and to say what needed
to be said,” Kitzhaber said.
“And from the moment he
died in Los Angeles I knew I
wanted to commit my life to
public service.”
During last week’s Oregon
Business Summit, Kitzhaber
embraced its goals of linking
school with work, boosting
the economies of rural com-
munities, and modernizing
transportation systems.
“But even if we are suc-
cessful in implementing
these goals — all of which
I support – we will not suc-
ceed in giving all Oregonians
a greater share of prosperity
unless we have the courage
and honesty to question one
fundamental fact: the inher-
ent contraction between a
growing economy and the
increasingly desperate plight
of hundreds of thousands of
our fellow Oregonians,” he
said.
“I think we can all agree
that this situation is not only
unfair — but that it serves to
widen the disparities that di-
vide us and makes it more dif-
as a community.”
Incorrect cutline information appeared in the top photo of “Children’s Rodeo receives do-
nations” (Jan. 10, Page 2C). The photo shows Jennifer Sweet, Sandy Murphy, Linda Smith,
Casey White-Zollman, Mike Ledbetter and Jill Ledbetter, and the check for $3,107 from the
Let’er Buck Room to the Children’s Rodeo.
A story in Saturday’s “Progress 2015” edition reported Hill Meat Company in Pend-
leton has not made products with “unlabeled allergens,” such as peanuts, since late 2013.
Hill Meat president Nicole Sorensen said labels listed any allergens, but the company then
stopped using allergens altogether.
The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors. If

KITZHABER: Will turn 68 years old in March

much,” he says.
Earlier in the day, the Leg-
islature organized for its next
two years. All 60 representa-
tives and 16 of the 30 senators
took their oaths for new terms,
Democrat Peter Courtney of
Salem was chosen for a sev-
enth two-year term as Senate
president, and Democrat Tina
Kotek of Portland for a sec-
ond two-year term as House
speaker.
Democrats hold an 18-12
majority over Republicans in
the Senate, and 35-25 in the
House, their largest margins in
six years.
Kitzhaber said in advance
that his address would draw
upon the lessons he had
learned in 36 years in politics.
His parents were part of
what has been dubbed the
“Greatest Generation,” which
went on to build the prosper-
ous U.S. society that emerged
after World War II.
“I grew up in an era where
people still believed in their
government, and saw it as a
vehicle through which they
could come together and do
amazing things for our whole
society that individuals could
not possibly do by them-
selves,” he said.

Still, in spite of the tone of

court appearance in Whit-
man County later in the day
on a felony charge of elud-
murder and one count of at-
tempted murder. Idaho au-
thorities will seek the return
of Lee to that state.
Lee was arrested in Wash-
ington state after he lost con-
trol of his car and it crashed
off U.S. Highway 195.
Police believe that on Sat-
urday he shot and killed his
adoptive mother, landlord
and a manager at a fast-food
restaurant in Moscow that his
parents frequented. Lee also
is a suspect in the shooting of
a Seattle man who survived
with critical wounds.
The shootings shocked
the quiet town of 25,000
people, home to the Univer-
sity of Idaho.
Investigators
searched
Lee’s car and Moscow apart-
ment late Saturday night,
Duke said, and found two
semi-automatic pistols, re-

shootings was Lee’s adop-
tive mother, Terri Grzebiel-
ski, 61, who was shot at her
home, police said.
Police said Lee then head-
ed to a Northwestern Mutual
his landlord, David Trail, 76,
an insurance agent, was shot.
Also shot and wounded was
Michael Chin, 39, of Seattle.
The shooter then drove to
the restaurant and shot man-
ager Belinda Niebuhr, 47,
who died at a hospital, Duke
said.
It’s not clear if Lee knew
the woman.
Lee drove to Pullman,
Washington, where police
spotted his black Honda. The
chase stretched over 25 miles
before Lee crashed north of
Colfax.
Lee was taken to a Colfax
hospital for treatment of mi-
nor injuries then booked into
the Whitman County Jail.
