Avakian, 54, becomes the third Democrat in the race, joining state Sen. Richard Devlin of Tualatin and state Rep. Val Hoyle of Eugene. Secretary of State Jeanne Atkins, appointed to the post in March, does not plan to run. The secretary of state is in charge of registering corporations, applying election laws, auditing government agencies and maintaining the state archives.

Avakian described Oregon as “ahead of the curve” when it comes to elections, but he said it can improve participation and engagement. Boosting civics education in schools is a good place to start, he said.

Terms of the deal announced Tuesday were not disclosed. Stumptown, based in Portland, started in ,QYHVWPHQW¿UP76*3DUWQHUVERXJKWD majority ownership position in the company in 2011. Stumptown now operates 10 stores in Portland, Seattle, New York and Los Angeles and describes itself as a pioneer of the cold-brew coffee movement. The companies say Stumptown will continue to operate independently but will have access to Peet’s resources and scale. Privately held Peet’s, which is based in Emeryville, California, says it hopes to capitalize on Stumptown’s leadership position in premium and cold brew coffee.

The online writings by Laurel Harper date from a year ago to nine years ago and offer fresh insight into the gunman, 26-year-old Christopher Harper-Mercer, and his relationship with his mother. The Associated Press didn’t speak with Harper about the postings, but in them she offered an email address that is linked to her. Harper and son shared an apartment outside Roseburg. Investigators have recovered ¿UHDUPV ² VL[ IRXQG at Umpqua Community College, where the killings occurred, and eight at the apartment. Neighbors of mother and son in California, where they lived before moving to Oregon in 2013, have said Harper-Mercer and his mother would go target shooting together. Investigators say Harp- er-Mercer’s mother has told them the son was struggling with some mental health issues. In her online postings, Laurel Harper talked about her love of guns and her son’s emotional troubles but there are no hints of worry that he could become violent. “I keep two full mags in my Glock case. And the ARs & AKs all have loaded mags. No one will be ‘dropping’ by my house uninvited without acknowledgement,” reads a 3-year-old posting. She was referring to a Glock handgun and to PLOLWDU\VW\OHULÀHV$*ORFN DQGDPLOLWDU\VW\OHULÀHZHUH among the weapons seized after the Roseburg shooting rampage. Laurel Harper wrote in another posting: “I love the long guns & I have an AK-47 en route.” She complained about gun-control efforts in “lame states.” She posted several times that her son had Asperger’s syndrome, a mild form of autism. One posting reads: “He’s no babbling idiot nor is his life worthless. He’s very intelligent and is working on DFDUHHULQ¿OPPDNLQJ´ She wrote that she read aloud to her unborn son from Donald Trump’s “Art of The Deal.” Investigators have not yet said whether they suspect a motive in last Thursday’s shooting rampage, where Harper-Mercer killed eight students and a teacher before killing himself. While living in California, Harper-Mercer graduated from a learning center for students with learning disabil- ities and emotional problems. His parents divorced when he was a teenager and he lived with his mother. Harper-Mercer’s father, Ian Mercer, still lives in California. Over the weekend he said he had no idea his son had any guns.

Celebrate Your Loved Ones in Our Veterans Day BAKER CITY (AP) — Baker City RI¿FLDOVVD\WKH\PD\QRWQHHGWRLPSRVH mandatory water restrictions this year, as the drought-depleted water supply is keeping up with demand. The Baker City Herald reports that the 11 streams and springs in the city’s watershed are producing about 2 million gallons per day. Public Works Director Michelle Owen says that’s less than half the volume typical for October. Owen says residents are sticking to the voluntary water curtailment request the city made three months ago, with demand averaging about 2.6 million gallons per day. Those levels, combined with the possibility that demand will drop with the temperature, have Owen saying she does not foresee mandatory restrictions.
