XAVIER—Joseph
F.
Xavier, Jr., born June 26,
1931, in Puâ unÄ nÄ,
Maui, Hawaii, passed away
in the early morning hours
on Jan. 13, 2020, in Port-
land, Ore.
Joe was born and raised
on the island of Maui and
graduated from St. Antho-
ny High School in 1950.
He was 10
years old
when the
Japanese
att a c ke d
P e a r l
Harbor
and he of-
ten spoke
about the Joseph Xavier
effects
that day had on his family,
friends and beloved Ha-
waii.
As a young man, Joe
moved to the mainland and
attended Woodbury Uni-
versity in Burbank, Calif.,
graduating with a degree in
Business Administration.
He met the love of his
life, Nola Carter, at UCLA
and liked to brag about
how he had been married
three times (to the same
woman).
On their 50th wedding
anniversary, at Joe’s insis-
tence, they renewed their
Identity released of deceased Florence woman
On Jan. 26, at approxi-
mately 9:50 a.m., the Lane
County Sheriff ’s Office
received a report of a de-
ceased female at Terwillig-
er Hot Springs off Forest
Service Road 19 in eastern
Lane County.
Investigation indicates
that 25-year-old Kaylee
Marie Price of Florence had
been at the hot springs with
two friends when she expe-
rienced a medical event.
Lifesaving efforts were
initiated by bystanders and
taken over by Upper McK-
enzie Rural Fire Protection
District personnel before
Price was pronounced de-
ceased.
As of Friday, the Lane
County Medical Examin-
er’s Office had not released
the cause or manner of
death, but foul play was not
suspected.
TSA to begin requiring new ID to board aircraft
Something big is hap-
pening Oct. 1 of this year.
If you aren’t paying atten-
tion, it might mean miss-
ing your flight out of PDX
or any other airport across
the U.S.
On that date, the Trans-
portation Security Admin-
istration, or TSA, begins
requiring a new type of
identification to board a
commercial aircraft. The
new ID must be compliant
with something called the
Real ID Act. It’s designed
to keep people safer in the
air, but if someone tries
to board an aircraft using
their current Oregon driver
license starting in October,
it won’t work. That’s be-
cause the current Oregon
driver license is not Real ID
compliant.
Oregon DMV will begin
offering a Real ID option
on July 6, 2020. To fulfill
the demand of nearly 1
million Oregonians who
will want the Real ID op-
tion, DMV would have to
issue 32 licenses a second
every business day from
July to October. That’s just
not possible.
If someone doesn’t have
a Real ID compliant form
of ID at the airport, TSA
will put them through an
alternate identity verifica-
tion process that could take
an hour or more, and peo-
ple may miss their flight.
There is an answer for
Oregonians: obtain and use
a passport or passport card.
The cost of getting a new
passport card is roughly
equal to that of getting a re-
placement license with the
Real ID option — and peo-
ple can apply now at one
of over 76 acceptance sites
across Oregon.

By the way, Washing-
tonians already have the
option of getting a Real ID
compliant driver li-cense.

resident, go to https://id-

Joe spent most of his ca-
reer working in the univer-
sity system. First at UCLA,
then UCSB, and finally at
the University of Washing-
ton (Go Dawgs!). During
his career, Joe had the op-
portunity to meet many
dignitaries and celebrities
including the Grateful
Dead, President Ronald
Reagan, HRH Queen Eliz-
abeth and Kareem Ab-
dul-Jabbar.
Joe loved to talk and
share stories.
After he retired from the
UW, he and his wife moved
to Florence, Ore., where
Joe spent much of his
time volunteering in the
community with the Elks,
Make a Difference Day and
Neighborhood Watch.
Joe is survived by his
wife Nola; daughters Marie
Xavier (Bonnie Jeffs), Julie
Martin (Niels Martin); and
his four beloved grand-
