BRIEFLY
Medford’s home-grown pot proposal:
locked gardens, no odors
Former U of Oregon
president remembered
for long public service
MEDFORD (AP) — The city of Medford is
considering rules to keep the odors in and the thieves out
once home-grown pot becomes legal in Oregon on July 1.
The Mail Tribune reports the city is considering an
ordinance requiring marijuana gardeners to prevent
odors from wafting
into the neighborhood.

small grows aren’t
likely to generate
complaints from neighbors. They say gardeners could
consider strains that aren’t so pungent, or they could
grow indoors.
For security purposes, the draft ordinance would
require locked enclosures with fences 7 to 8 feet tall.
They could be of chain link with small openings, wood,
masonry, stone. Plants couldn’t poke out above the
fence.
The council will look at a draft ordinance Thursday.

Tributes are being paid to Dave
Frohnmayer, former president of the
University of Oregon and former Ore-
gon attorney general, who died Monday
at the age of 74.
“He was a lawyer’s lawyer,” said
former Gov. Ted Kulongoski, who like
Frohnmayer was attorney general and
also began in elective politics as a state
representative from Lane County.
“There are few times when people
come into our lives who have as much
talent and character who have such an
effect on us — and he was one of those
people.”
Gov. Kate Brown, also a lawyer, is-
sued this statement Tuesday:
“I am heartbroken at the loss of my
wonderful and brilliant friend Dave

Frohnmayer was born July 9, 1940,
in Medford. His father was Otto Frohn-

grated from Germany and graduated in
1929 from the University of Oregon law
school, which his son would one day
lead as its dean. His mother was Mar-

Otto Frohnmayer died in 2000, and
MarAbel Frohnmayer in 2003.
After high school graduation in 1958,
Dave Frohnmayer attended Harvard
University, where he earned a bachelor’s
degree in 1962 and went on to a Rhodes
Scholarship at Oxford University. He

Oregon is reflected in a

earned his law degree from the Univer-
sity of California at Berkley in 1967.
He was a special assistant to Elliot
Richardson, then the U.S. secretary of
health, education and welfare, before he
returned to Oregon in 1971.
For a decade, he taught at the law
school. As a volunteer, he was an ad-
vocate for Oregon’s open meetings and
public records laws, which lawmakers
passed in 1973.
Frohnmayer won an Oregon House
seat in 1974, the same year Kulongoski,
also a lawyer, was elected from a neigh-
boring district in Lane County. Frohn-
mayer was a Republican, Kulongoski a
Democrat.
Frohnmayer was elected attorney
general in 1980, defeating Democrat
Harl Haas, then the Multnomah Coun-
ty district attorney. He was re-elected
in 1984 and 1988, the second time with
both Republican and Democratic nomi-
nations.
He ran for governor in 1990, but lost
to Democrat Barbara Roberts in a race
where an independent anti-abortion
candidate drew a modern-day record
13 percent of the votes. Roberts became

Frohnmayer resigned at the end of
1991, with a year left in his third term as
attorney general, to become dean of the
University of Oregon law school.
In mid-1994, he was chosen as the
15th president of the university. He re-
tired in 2009.
Frohnmayer is survived by his wife,
Lynn; sons Mark and Jonathan, and
daughter Amy. Also among survivors
are a brother, John, who lives in Cor-
vallis and is a former chairman of the
National Endowment for the Arts, and a
sister, Mira.
Two of his other daughters have died,
both of Fanconi anemia, a rare blood
disease. Katie died at age 12 in 1991,
and Kirsten at age 24 in 1997.
In 1989 he and his wife founded the
Fanconi Anemia Research Fund to pro-
mote the search for a cure.
The family statement issued Tues-
day notes that Frohnmayer kept his own
health problems private:

complicated by the intense public at-
tention that inevitably accompanied his
lifelong commitment to public service.
He was adamant that his own health is-
sues would remain private.
“Except for the immediate family
and Dave’s closest friends, he was able
to accomplish this and continue a full
public schedule to the end.”

SPOKANE (AP) — Authorities are searching for a
man who was caught on video running down a street
in the small town of Sprague, Washington, carrying a
toddler in an apparent kidnapping attempt.
The video from a surveillance camera shows the
boy’s young sister chasing after the man, who set the
boy down and ran off on Sunday.
Sprague is about 40 miles west of Spokane on
Interstate 90.

believe the man is a resident of the town of about 500
people.
Magers says most likely he was passing through
Sprague.
The boy, 22-month-old Owen Wright, was unhurt.

Russell was arrested Feb. 20 and held in a women’s

Members of Congress and U.S. Ambassador to Japan
Caroline Kennedy worked for her release, which was
announced Monday. The family wrote an apology letter,
saying she didn’t intend to break the law.
Russell told The Oregonian she was shocked to be
arrested, but the detention facility was “not anything
terrifying.” She says she had bento meals and did daily
chores.
