fuels?”
“Those are 49,000 students that are go-
ing to be impacted by this curriculum,
that’s 49,000 future voters,” she added.
Swanson also says that new legislation
will ban any and all textbooks that oppose
the idea of man-made global warming.
“Any textbook that hints at the idea that
man-made global warming is not valid,
any disagreement with that idea at all,
will be banned,” Swanson said.
“The goal of education for sustainabil-
ity is to change the cultural, religious, so-
cial, economic and political structure of
our nation,” she added by reading from
her book “Training for Treason.” As the
audience clapped and agreed, Swanson
fi nished by explaining that “climate liter-
acy is a front for the communist agenda.”

began arguing over a rifl e
scope. Police testifi ed that they
recovered 27 shell casings from
Roa’s weapon following the in-
cident. Roa’s attorney told the
jury in his opening statement
that his client does not remem-
ber fi ring at the offi cers, and Roa
later claimed that he blacked out
after feeling a sharp pain in his
back, coming to only while the
police dog was biting him.
On Friday morning, Roa took
several victims of theft-related
charges from the shop. At the
time, Roa pleaded “no contest”
to two counts of Attempted
Theft I related to a weapon and
a silencer that were ordered by
customers and for which he ac-
cepted payment and failed to
deliver the weapons. As a con-
dition of a plea deal reached in
that case, Roa was ordered not
to use or possess fi rearms dur-
ing his probation, over the ob-
jection of his lawyer.
“This development is nice
for us as an electrical company
because it allows us to build up
our facilities,” he said. “And if
we’re going to build up those fa-
cilities, we defi nitely want them
to use them.”
The utility has already been at
work installing the new equip-
ment that Currier said should
help minimize outages in the
area around PakTech. Other
preparations such as tree trim-
ming and increasing the size of
certain transformers has already
been underway, and EPUD will
work directly with PakTech to
design the system that will serve
the company directly, according
to Currier.
“The new revenue we receive
from this customer will help
spread the cost of improve-
ments,” he said. “This has been
a great example of a civic part-
nership between a utility and a
city government.”

the stand in his own defense,
saying he didn’t want Olson to
think that he shot at him direct-
ly. He also claimed that he was
only fi ring rounds at his friend’s
feet and did not intend to injure
anyone.
Roa operated the machine
gun shop downtown for several
years until it closed in 2011.
In March of 2012, he received
a six-day jail sentence and fi ve
years’ probation and was or-
dered in Cottage Grove Munici-
pal Court to pay restitution to
to accelerate our investments
to improve our reliability and
capacity,” he said.
Kwikee, the company that
manufactured stairs for rec-
reational vehicles in Cottage
Grove until it closed its opera-
tions here in 2007, didn’t re-
quire near as much electricity as
PakTech will when they begin
production here this fall, Cur-
rier said.
