New COVID-19 cases per day
n annual spring tradition is set to re-
turn to the Pendleton levee system
and river parkway.
For the 10th year, as many as 700 goats
will be herded throughout the riparian area
by the Umatilla River to graze on riverside
vegetation, clearing away potentially flam-
mable brush in the process, according to
a press release from the public works de-
partment.
According to the press release, the goats are
in town on another city-owned property and
will be moved to the levee soon.
The goats will start at the upriver end of
the levee at the end of SE Byers Avenue near
the Ken Melton Little League Park. They will
work their way from the east end of the levee
through town and make a second pass before
leaving town, the release said. The goats are
typically on the levee for four to six weeks.
The goats will be penned in by an electric
fence and guided by trained dogs or goat-
herds. Pedestrians with dogs are urged to
keep their pets leashed and under control.
A herd of goats eats its way east along the north bank of the
Umatilla River in May 2020. The goats are returning to the
Pendleton levee system and river parkway.

STATE BRIEFING
Hillsboro Police arrest man suspected of killing
roommate who disappeared in 1999
A Tennessee man has been arrested on suspicion of killing his
former roommate more than two decades after the roommate
was first reported missing to Hillsboro Police.
Kenneth Todd Gipson was arrested May 3 at his home in Del
Rio, Tennessee, on suspicion of killing Anthony “Tony” Kennedy,
who was last seen alive in July 1999.
The two men were roommates in Hillsboro at the time of Ken-
nedy’s disappearance, according to Hillsboro Police, and Kenne-
dy’s vehicle was also reported missing at the time. The car was
later found abandoned in a parking lot near their home. Kennedy
was 22 at the time of his disappearance.
Hillsboro Police said they began reexamining Kennedy’s case
in 2018 but did not specify what prompted them to reopen the
investigation or how they connected Gipson to Kennedy’s disap-
pearance. Police also did not specify whether Kennedy’s body has
been found or say when they think he was killed.
Gipson is being held in a Tennessee jail and is awaiting extradi-
tion to Oregon. He is expected to arrive in Oregon on June 5.
Portland bus driver shot while driving passengers
A TriMet bus driver was shot Saturday night while driving pas-
sengers, the Portland Police Bureau told local media
A bullet hole was found in the windshield, and the driver was
being treated at a nearby hospital for what appeared to be a gun-
shot wound to the shoulder. The incident happened shortly after
7 p.m.
There were no reports of injuries to passengers on the bus. Po-
lice are investigating.
“We are shocked and saddened to have one of our coworkers
hurt while serving our community,” TriMet said in a statement.
“Our thoughts are with our operator, and we pray he will make a
full recovery.”
Black community leaders draw crowd for Portland march
More than 100 people gathered in Portland on Saturday for
a rally and march against gun violence organized by a group of
Black faith and community leaders. The “March Against Murder”
drew speakers from across the city, all of them Black men and one
woman who has lost two sons to gun violence. Their message:
that government officials and the community need to step up to
curb the epidemic of gun violence that’s swept through the city.
Portland has had 33 homicides in 2021, including four in the
past week and a half alone. That puts the city on track to surpass
its annual record for homicides of 70, set in 1987.
Royal Harris, a Multnomah County Health Department em-
ployee and former gang outreach coordinator for the city, orga-
nized Saturday’s event. “This is about the community,” Harris told
the crowd. “This is about people who talk about this all the time.”
In a speech that drew on his pastoral experience, Portland school
board member-elect Herman Greene urged the crowd to reach out
to Black boys and men, particularly those at risk of recruitment into
gangs. “I’ve got to talk to people nobody wants to talk to,” he said. “If
you want to stop shootings, you need to talk to shooters. If you want
to stop the killings, you need to go where the killings are happening.”
Other speakers said Black Portlanders need more institutional
support. Lakayana Drury, the executive director of a nonprofit
that works with at-risk youth, called on Portland Public Schools
to hire 100 Black teachers over the next 10 years.
