TODAY
U.S. CAPITOL BREACH | FEDERAL INVESTIGATION
Today is Thursday, March 25, the
84th day of 2021. There are 281
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 25, 1911, 146 people,
mostly young female immi-
grants, were killed when fire
broke out at the Triangle Shirt-
waist Co. in New York.
In 1634, English colonists sent
by Lord Baltimore arrived in
present-day Maryland.
In 1776, Gen. George Washing-
ton, commander of the Conti-
nental Army, was awarded the
first Congressional Gold Medal
by the Continental Congress.
In 1915, the U.S. Navy lost its
first commissioned submarine
as the USS F-4 sank off Hawaii,
claiming the lives of all 21 crew
members.
In 1931, in the so-called “Scotts-
boro Boys” case, nine young
Black men were taken off a train
in Alabama, accused of raping
two white women; after years
of convictions, death sentences
and imprisonment, the nine
were eventually vindicated.
In 1947, a coal-dust explosion
inside the Centralia Coal Co.
Mine No. 5 in Washington Coun-
ty, Illinois, claimed 111 lives; 31
men survived.
In 1954, RCA announced it had
begun producing color televi-
sion sets at its plant in Bloom-
ington, Indiana.
In 1965, the Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr. led 25,000 people to the
Alabama state capitol in Mont-
gomery after a five-day march
from Selma to protest the denial
of voting rights to Blacks. Later
that day, civil rights activist Viola
Liuzzo, a white Detroit home-
maker, was shot and killed by Ku
Klux Klansmen.
In 1985, “Amadeus” won eight
Academy Awards, including
best picture, best director for
Milos Forman and best actor for
F. Murray Abraham.
In 1987, the Supreme Court, in
Johnson v. Transportation Agen-
cy, ruled 6-3 that an employer
could promote a woman over
an arguably more-qualified man
to help get women into high-
er-ranking jobs.
In 1988, in New York City’s so-
called “Preppie Killer” case, Rob-
ert Chambers Jr. pleaded guilty
to first-degree manslaughter in
the death of 18-year-old Jennifer
Levin. (Chambers received 5 to
15 years in prison; he was re-
leased in 2003 after serving the
full sentence.)
Ten years ago: Canadian op-
position parties brought down
the Conservative government
in a no-confidence vote, trig-
gering an election that gave
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
a clear Conservative majority in
Parliament.
Five years ago: A suicide
bomber believed to be a
teenager blew himself up in
a soccer stadium south of the
Iraqi capital, killing 29 people
and wounding 60. The Rolling
Stones unleashed two hours
of thundering rock and roll on
an ecstatic crowd of hundreds
of thousands of Cubans and
foreign visitors in Havana; the
free concert came two days after
President Barack Obama con-
cluded his historic visit to Cuba.
One year ago: The Senate
unanimously passed a $2.2
trillion economic rescue pack-
age steering aid to businesses,
workers and health care systems
engulfed by the coronavirus
pandemic; the largest economic
relief bill in U.S. history included
direct payments to most Amer-
icans, expanded unemploy-
ment benefits and $367 billion
for small businesses to keep
making payroll while workers
were forced to stay home. The
number of U.S. deaths from the
pandemic topped 1,000.

Brothers are first Oregonians to be charged
— Associated Press
BY MAXINE BERNSTEIN
The Oregonian
FBI agents have arrested two Oregon
brothers who are accused of breaching
the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Matthew Leland Klein, 24, and Jon-
athanpeter Allen Klein, 21, are the first
Oregon residents to be charged in the
Capitol riot.
The younger brother has described
himself as a Proud Boy and was cap-
tured in a Jan. 5 photo wearing a Proud
Boy PDX shirt, according to the FBI.
The Kleins were captured on video
inside the U.S. Capitol.
The two each face charges of aid-
ing and abetting in the obstruction of
an official proceeding, obstruction of
law enforcement during civil disorder,
destruction of government property,
entering and remaining in a restricted
building or grounds and disorderly
conduct in a restricted building or
grounds, according to court records.
Both were arrested Tuesday. Mat-
thew Klein was arrested in Sherwood,
and Jonathanpeter Klein was arrested in
Heppner, according to the FBI.
Indictment unsealed
On Dec. 27, the younger Klein noti-
fied his employer that he wanted to take
time off from work during the first of
the new year, from Jan. 4 through Jan.
8, so that he and his brother could at-
tend the “Stop the Steal Rally in DC,”
according to an indictment unsealed
Wednesday.
The brothers obtained airline tickets
More arrests expected
More than 300 people have been
charged in connection to the Jan. 6 riot
at the U.S. Capitol. Authorities have said
they believe at least 100 more could
face charges.

two days later to fly to Philadelphia on
Jan. 4 and then onto Washington, D.C.
on Jan. 5, according to the indictment.
They paid cash for their plane tickets.
The Klein brothers are accused of
storming the Capital shortly after 2 p.m.
Jan. 6.
Matthew Klein assisted members of
the crowd, who had breached the Cap-
itol’s restricted grounds, by using a po-
lice barricade to climb a wall and gain
access to an external stairwell leading to
the Upper West Terrace of the Capitol,
the indictment says.
Minutes later, Jonathanpeter Klein en-
tered the Capitol building through a door
on the northwest side of the Capitol.
Jonathanpeter engaged in “a celebra-
tory exchange with an identified mem-
ber of the Proud Boys,” and entered
the Capitol building on the northwest
side, the indictment says. While there,
the indictment says, he greeted another
person, saying “proud of your (exple-
tive) boy!”
By approximately 2:29 p.m., Jona-
thanpeter Klein and his fellow rioters
had made their way from the Senate
side of the Capitol, through a line of law
enforcement officers in the Capitol’s
Crypt, to the House of Representatives
side, before they proceeded up a flight
of stairs to the Capitol’s Rotunda, ac-
cording to the indictment.
After the brothers exited the Capitol,
they forcibly opened a secured door on
the Capitol’s north side.
When federal law enforcement offi-
cers responded, Matthew Klein put on
protective goggles and advanced toward
the law enforcement officers holding a
Gadsden flag affixed to a flagpole to in-
terfere with police efforts to disperse the
crowd, according to the indictment.
“The defendants joined together to
wrench open a secure door on the Cap-
itol’s north side. Behind that door, law
enforcement officers tasked with pro-
tecting the Capitol and its inhabitants
prepared to fend off yet another wave
of attacks from the unruly crowd,” As-
sistant U.S. Attorney Paul T. Maloney
wrote in a detention memo unsealed
Wednesday.
Investigators also found photos of
the Klein brothers attending a Sept.
7 rally at Oregon’s Capitol in Salem,
where about 100 supporters of Trump,
including members of the Proud Boys,
traveled to the state capitol building and
clashed with about 20 Black Lives Mat-
ter protesters.
The Kleins’ cases will be handled in
the District of Columbia. Both remain
in custody.
Smith Rock
In 2020, Smith
Rock State Park
and Deschutes
County officials,
joined by
property owners
near the park,
partnered to
install signs
that read “NO
PARKING ON
SHOULDER.”
But up to 200
visitors each day
keep parking
along the roads,
prompting the
sheriff’s office in
March to begin
giving citations.
Continued from A1
Work on the new plan was
delayed last year due to the
pandemic, but there is a re-
newed focus this year, Davey
said.
How to handle parking is the
top priority, he said. The new
plan will look at redesigning
the existing parking areas to
accommodate more visitors.
“We are going to look at how
to reconfigure parking to give
us control back so we can con-
trol the capacity of the park
and stop the flood of cars com-
ing in,” Davey said.
Davey appreciates the sher-
iff’s office prioritizing parking
enforcement outside the park.
In the past few years, more

people kept parking along the
county roads, but there were
no warning signs telling them
not to park.
Deputies didn’t have the au-
thority to ticket people, Davey
said. Now they do.
“They couldn’t really enforce
it,” Davey said. “You have to
have a no parking sign for the
county sheriff to take action.”

OBITUARY
GEORGE SEGAL • 1934-2021
‘Goldbergs’ star more than a comic actor
Larry Ray Porter
April 2, 1948 - March 19, 2021
BY ANDREW DALTON
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — George Segal,
the banjo player turned actor who
was nominated for an Oscar for 1966’s
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and
worked into his late 80s on the ABC sit-
Segal
com “The Goldbergs,” died Tuesday in
Santa Rosa, California, his wife said.
“The family is devastated to announce that
this morning George Segal passed away due to
complications from bypass surgery,” Sonia Segal
said in a statement. He was 87.
George Segal was always best known as a
comic actor, becoming one of the screen’s biggest
stars in the 1970s when lighthearted adult com-
edies thrived.
But his most famous role was in the harrow-
ing drama “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
based on Edward Albee’s acclaimed play. He
was the last surviving credited member
of the tiny cast, all four of whom were
nominated for Academy Awards: Eliz-
abeth Taylor and Richard Burton for
starring roles, Sandy Dennis and Se-
gal for supporting performances. The
women won Oscars, the men did not.
To younger audiences, he was better
known for playing magazine publisher
Jack Gallo on the long-running NBC series “Just
Shoot Me” from 1997 to 2003, and as grandfa-
ther Albert “Pops” Solomon on the “The Gold-
bergs” since 2013.
In his Hollywood prime, he played a stuffy in-
tellectual opposite Barbra Streisand’s freewheel-
ing prostitute in 1970’s “The Owl and the Pussy-
cat;” a hopeless gambler opposite Elliot Gould in
director Robert Altman’s 1974 “California Split;”
and a bank-robbing suburbanite opposite Jane
Fonda in 1977’s “Fun with Dick and Jane.”
Larry Ray Porter, 72, of
Sweet Home passed
away unexpectedly on
Friday. He was born in
Bend to Glenn D. and
Kathleen Rae (Young)
Porter.
He resided in Bend
with his family unti l
they moved to Albany
in 1985, living there for
17 years.
Larry was a man of
faith who was a devoted, loving, caring husband
and father. He gave his all to his family and friends.
He enjoyed playing music, hunti ng, computers, and
playing golf. He had a charismati c personality and
loved to visit with people while adding a good joke or
two in the conversati on to bring a smile and laughter.
He was a hard worker and worked as a Laborers
Union Offi cial for 26 years and was a Member of
Laborers Local 915/121/737 since June of 1967.
He married Catherine Elaine Denman on June 18th,
1967.
Larry had three children: Kari Ann and her husband
Frank D. Hatf ield, Kevin Ray Porter (deceased), Kelly
Lee Porter; two grandsons: John Ray Porter, Chase
Dalton Porter; other close relati ves were Lee and
Claudine Clinton (deceased) and their children: La
Rae, Dan, Tim, and Kimberly; along with his brother-
in-law Richard Newman and his daughter Britney.
He was preceded in death by his parents Kathleen
and Glenn Porter; brothers: Garry, Denny and Roger
Dale Porter.
Larry will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
