home state.
His family moved there in
1948, when he was 10 years
old, and he graduated from
Bristow High School and the
University of Oklahoma,
where he majored in drama
while his interest in folk music
grew and eventually predomi-
nated.
Clap and sing along to Tom
Paxton standards, such as
“The Last Thing On My
Mind,” “Ramblin’ Boy,”
“Bottle of Wine,” “Whose
Garden Was This?” “Goin’ to
the Zoo” and “The Marvelous
Toy.”
During the daytime on
Saturday, concert-goers can
listen to additional folk music
from the following perform-
ers: Larry Potts, Sky in the

realize that we are not finan-
cially able to run the pool. This
is where SRAC comes in and
the funding they would need to
bring in to retain a pool.
“We are exploring whether
or not SRAC is going to be
able to raise enough funds to
make the pool viable. We are
exploring all options, wellness
center, community center,
meeting place, all the different
options that came out of the
meeting last Friday.“
Bomb
from 1A
connected with the local case,
when Portland police were
searching for a man who they
said has been involved in a
number of criminal pursuits,
during one of which police
allege the suspect threw pipe
bombs out the vehicle’s win-
dow during a chase. None of
the bombs detonated, but they
were fully functional, police
said.
Lt. John Pitcher of the FPD
said that a motive for placing
the bombs has never been
clear.
in setting up its food assistance
program.
“I am honored,” Woodbury
said, “but I feel like there are
so many people here in town
more deserving of this award.
This town does so much for so
many, and there are people that
don’t get the recognition they
should receive. I’ve been
blessed. This community has
given more to me than I could
ever give back.”
Three SRAC members will
make a presentation to the
Mapleton School Board
tonight. Their goal will be to
get approval from the district
to seek funding for the pool.
“We hope to get the blessing
of the district that if the fund-
ing is acquired then the district
would sign the documents nec-
essary, such as grants, and take
seriously the plan to revive the
pool,” Hesse said.
The meeting starts at 6 p.m.
in the library of the Mapleton
High School at 10868 E.
Mapleton Road.
The Portland Police Bureau,
after receiving a tip, arrested
Neal Allen Panschow, 44, on
Dec. 21 in Multnomah County.
The bureau said that Panschow
has outstanding warrants in
Multnomah and Tillamook
counties.
The materials in the four
pipe bombs ejected from the
eluding vehicle, a 2002 silver
Honda Civic, connect the
Florence and Portland inci-
dents.
Florence and Portland
police reports will be present-
ed to the U.S. Attorney’s
office, which may file federal
charges.
