Judge orders Pasco teachers back to school
By DONNA GORDON
BLANKINSHIP
Associated Press
A judge on Friday ordered
striking Pasco teachers to
return to school on Tuesday,
one week after their walkout
began, while contract talks
continued in Seattle under
threat of another strike.
Teachers were also on
strike in the South Whidbey
Island school district, while
Spokane narrowly avoided
a walkout by all school
employees when a tentative
contract agreement was
reached Thursday.
Calling the Pasco strike
illegal, Franklin County
Judge Alex Ekstrom granted
an injunction requested by
the Pasco School District to
force teachers back to the
classroom.
Union president Greg
Olson told teachers after the
ruling was announced that
the union had not decided
whether teachers should
return to school after the
holiday weekend. He said a

decision would be made in
the next few days.
Ekstrom wrote in his
order that failure to fully
comply might subject viola-
tors to contempt of court
sanctions, but he did not set

set for Tuesday.
“The continued strike
activity by the association
and its members is causing
great harm to the district,
its students and the public,
which is substantial, imme-
diate and irreparable,” the
judge wrote.
Classes had been sched-
uled to begin Tuesday in
Pasco, but schools have
been closed all week as
Anti-California stickers placed

think they’re going around to
agents who have properties
that have sold over ask price
and putting anti-California
stickers.”
Fenwick, of Premiere
Property Group, said some-
body covered her name on
one of her signs, replacing it
with a phrase: “STOP THE
BUBBLE.” Both Fenwick’s
and Irvine’s listings were
in North Portland’s Arbor
Lodge neighborhood, they
said.
“People think that our
signs magically appear,”
Fenwick said. “But they
don’t. We pay money for
them, and it’s none of their
business to be putting stickers
on them.”
Irvine eventually sold
the house where the sticker
appeared for $450,000 — to
a man from New York, he
said.

PORTLAND — Port-
landers apparently upset
with the direction of the local
housing market are slapping
“no Californians” stickers on
For Sale signs in the city, real
estate agents say.
When one of Lori
Fenwick’s buyers sent her a
picture of one of the stickers,
she took it to a real estate
group on Facebook to see
if any other agents had seen
them around town.
Three other agents replied
they had. One of them was
Quinn Irvine, of M Realty.
Somebody plastered one of
the stickers — showing a
silhouette of California with
a “No Smoking”-like red
slash through it — on his
sign outside a house on North
Burrage Avenue.
“A lot of these homes are
going into bidding wars and
going over ask price,” Irvine
said. “And a lot of these guys
Jeld-Wen makes

North Carolina
opinions wherever they want,
but it sucks that they’re doing
that.”
She and Irvine acknowl-
edged that they are dealing
with a lot of out-of-state
buyers, many of whom do
come from California.
“I’m dealing with a couple
of San Francisco buyers,”
Irvine said. “One guy’s cash.”
But both agreed that
out-of-state
buyers
are
coming from everywhere —
not just south of the Oregon
border.
“There’s
the
lowest
inventory we’ve had in
over 10 years, and people
are frustrated,” Irvine said.
“They’re basically blaming
Californians for raising their
real estate prices.”
Fenwick, who grew up in
Portland, said, “the more the
merrier” when it comes to
new residents.

PORTLAND (AP) —
Oregon’s once-largest
private company has
made a quiet exit, leaving
its global headquarters
in Klamath Falls and
moving to Charlotte, North
Carolina.
The Oregonian reports
a spokeswoman for the
multinational window-
and-door manufacturer,
Jeld-Wen Holdings Inc.,
FRQ¿UPHGWKHFRPSDQ\¶V
big move Thursday.
Darcie Meihoff said the
company’s transition has
been a slow one.
Executives initially
denied rumors that
Jeld-Wen would move to
Charlotte, but it moved in
2012 to be closer to East
Coast customers.
When the company
sold its ownership for
$871 million in 2011, it
employed about 1,200
people in Oregon at its
headquarters and factories.

though she’ll probably have

“They are standing up
for things that are good for
my kids,” Droker said as
she watched one of her sons
climb down a two-story
rope-and-metal tower.
One of the items on the
teacher’s contract wish list
is more recess time. None
of the schools in Seattle has
the amount of recess time

recommends, said Droker,
an educator working in early
learning.
“The kids need to play
more,” she said.
