On December 4, 2016,
friends and family of Toshi-
hiko Murata will celebrate
his life with a memorial
service at 2:30 p.m. at the
Pendleton Center for the
Arts, 214 N. Main Street,
Pendleton, Oregon.
Toshihiko Murata was
born February 26,
1963, in Kobe,
Japan, and was
raised in Otsu-shi,
Shiga, Japan. He
first came to the
United States in
1981 to participate
in the World Peace
March, where he
met his future wife,
Mary Jane Bagwell.
He returned to Murata
Oregon in 1984 to
pursue his educa-
tion, earning a Bachelor of
Science degree (1988) at
Pacific University in Forest
Grove and his doctorate
in sociology (2001) at the
University of Oregon in
Eugene.
Toshihiko worked for
Blue Mountain Community
College (BMCC) as the
associate vice president of
institutional effectiveness,
beginning in October of
2015. He was a research
analyst and the adult basic
education
accountability
coordinator for the Oregon
Department of Community
Colleges and Workforce
Development for more than
nine years before accepting
the AVP position at BMCC
and moving to Pendleton.
Prior to working for the
State, Toshihiko was a
partner at Northwest Survey
and Data Services, a survey
research firm in Eugene. He
also worked with Oregon
Survey Research Laboratory
at the University of Oregon.
After 20 years together,
Toshihiko and Mary Jane
married on November 24th,
2000. They have been best
friends and inseparable
companions for more than 35
years. Toshihiko and Mary
Jane began their relationship
on the World Peace March,
walking from Venice Beach,
California, to New York City
in 1981-82. The trek lasted
eight and a half months. In
1983, Toshihiko published
a book documenting his
journey: “I Walked 7000
kilometers Across America
... A March for Peace Across
the Continent.”
Toshihiko had a number
of talents and was accom-
plished in many different
areas and hobbies. He
enjoyed running, reading,
and writing poetry. He was
a talented artist,
creating pieces in
watercolor, pencil
and ink, wood-
working, metal arts
and jewelry and
clay. He studied
horticulture
and
took great pleasure
in caring for his
orchids and African
violets, as well as
the green onions
he grew for his
morning
soba.
Toshihiko was an avid cyclist
and enjoyed building bicy-
cles for specific purposes.
He was also a member and
officer in Toastmasters while
living in Salem.
His friends commented
that Toshihiko was a brilliant
thinker. BMCC President
Cam Preus, who had known
and worked with Toshihiko
for a number of years, offered
this special observation: “He
was a person who kept his
own counsel,” she said. “He
was quiet. He spoke when he
had something to offer.”
Toshihiko is survived
by his wife, Mary Jane
Bagwell; his mother, Atsuko
Matsukawa Murata; his
sister, Hiroko Hiroi, broth-
er-in-law Takaaki Hiroi and
neices Misako Hiroi and
Ayako Hiroi; and sister-
in-law Alice Gachupin,
nephew Courtland Gachupin
and niece Apple Freeman of
Portland. He is also survived
by an uncle, Noburo Murata,
and aunts Kyoko Kanzaki,
Noriko Murata and Yoshiko
Yamamoto.
He is preceded in death
by his father, Ryuichi
Murata, and by his paternal
and maternal grandparents.
In lieu of flowers, the
family wishes that donations
be made in Toshihiko’s name
to the BMCC Foundation to
support student scholarships.
Please contact Margaret
Gianotti at 541-278-5775.

Grain industry innovator Dwayne Andreas dies
Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. —
Dwayne Andreas, the farmer’s
son and college dropout who
turned the grain-processing
company Archer Daniels
Midland into “the super-
market to the world,” then
saw it rocked by a price-fixing
scandal, has died. He was 98.
Archer Daniels Midland
spokeswoman
Jackie
Anderson on Wednesday
confirmed Andreas’ death.
The company did not imme-
diately provide additional
details, including a cause of
death or where he died.
Under Andreas’ guidance,
the company changed the agri-
cultural world. Andreas used
his influence and friendships
with politicians including
former House Speaker Tip
O’Neill, former Sen. Bob
AP file photo
In this 1995 file photo,
Archer Daniels Midland
Chairman Dwayne An-
dreas speaks at a news
conference in Decatur, Ill.
Dole and former Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev to
encourage federal subsidies
for corn and grain farmers,
maintain huge overseas
markets and help turn ADM
products, including high fruc-
tose corn syrup, into staples of
the American diet. Gorbachev
was among the international
figures who trekked to the
company’s longtime head-
quarters in Decatur, Illinois,
to see Andreas. The company
moved its headquarters to
Chicago in 2014 but still has
more than 4,000 employees in
Decatur.
Andreas sometimes tried
to downplay his influence and
his company’s. But in a 1990
Fortune magazine story, he
said, “How the hell could you
run a business like mine if you
didn’t have communications
with the people who make the
big decisions?”
Andreas, who became
CEO of ADM in 1970, stepped
down in 1997, the year after
the company pleaded guilty
to price fixing charges and
agreed to pay $100 million
in fines. The scandal also sent
three men, including his only
son, to prison. Andreas left the
chairman of the board post in
1999.
The price-fixing scheme
was recounted in Kurt Eichen-
wald’s 2000 best-seller “The
Informant!” and was turned
into a 2009 film starring Matt
Damon.
ADM was a sleepy
regional
agricultural
processing company when
Andreas became CEO. His
use of political clout — and
his aggressive acquisition of
smaller companies and expan-
sion into new markets — built
ADM into one of the world’s
largest agricultural processing,
marketing and distributing
companies.
Carroll Lee Davis, a
longtime resident of Pend-
leton, Oregon, passed away
Saturday, November 12,
2016, at his home. Carroll
had been battling Lewy body
dementia for more than eight
years.
Carroll was born to
parents Lillian and
Jesse Davis in Salt
Lake City, Utah.
He grew up in
Pocatello, Idaho,
until his freshman
year of high school,
whereupon
his
family
moved
to Boise, Idaho.
Carroll graduated
from Boise High
School in 1952, Davis
and attended Boise
Junior
College.
In 1953, Carroll
was drafted into
the United States
Army and served in
Korea.
On April 18,
1960,
Carroll
married
Eulah
Munns in Coeur
d’Alene, Idaho. The
couple lived for a Caption
short time in Boise,
Idaho,
before
moving to Pasco, Wash-
ington, for 10 years, and
finally settling in Pendleton,
Oregon, in 1973, where
Carroll lived the remainder
of his life.
Carroll worked in the
small loan and finance
industry for many years. In
1973, he began working as
a credit manager for Wood-
pecker Truck & Equipment,
until his retirement in 1995.
Carroll had many inter-
ests, and in retirement had
more time to experience
traveling with his wife Eulah,
friends, and other family. He
traveled to several places
both foreign and domestic,
including Wales, where
ancestors on both sides of
his family originated. Carroll
often times explained that he
was a “double Davis,” as his
mother’s maiden name was
also “Davis.”
Carroll developed a
passion for oriental rugs and
items from antiquity.
Until his illness became
pronounced, Carroll enjoyed
several activities such as
golfing, skiing, and walking
for exercise.
Carroll
was
a 33rd degree
Scottish Right Free
Mason, and main-
tained membership
in the Idaho Grand
Lodge of Ancient
Free and Accepted
Masons.
He is survived
by his wife, Eulah
Davis, Pendleton,
Ore.;
children
Jesse Davis and
his partner Carlos
Carrada-Ortiz,
Portland,
Ore.,
Paul Davis and
his wife Maria,
Pendleton,
Ore.,
Ninetta Munns and
her husband Ron,
Walla Walla, Wash.,
and Owen Davis,
Pendleton, Ore.;
and grandchildren
Emily
Davis,
Bailey Davis, Mackenzie
Davis, Zachary Armstrong,
and Preston Armstrong.
Carroll was preceded in
death by his parents, Jesse
and Lillian Davis, brother
Robert “Bob” Davis, and
sister Dorothy D’Amico.
