Carroll had been
battling Lewy body
dementia for more
than eight years.

•Oregon State Police arrested a Pilot Rock father for
drunken driving after he and his teen daughter crawled from
the wreckage of his pickup.
Philip James Herrera, 39, was driving his Ford F250

Judge denies petition for
gender-neutral designation
MEDFORD (AP) — A
judge has denied a Medford
resident’s request to identify
as neither male nor female.
Jackson County Circuit
Court Benjamin Bloom on
Thursday denied Amiko-
Gabriel
Oscar
Blue’s
petition, saying he does
not believe Oregon law
allows him to grant her a
neutral or non-binary gender
designation.
Blue says she was
surprised by the judge’s
denial, since a Multnomah
County Circuit Court judge
in June allowed Jamie
Shupe to legally change to
a non-binary designation.
Experts believe it was the
first ruling of its kind in the
U.S.
The Mail-Tribune reports
that judges in Oregon have
delivered mixed decisions on
the issue though most have
said neutral or non-binary
designations are not allowed.
Blue said she has never
identified as male or female.
Another judge denied a
similar request she made in
2015.
