Timbers Army sends Cascadia consumers to the game
March 27th, 2012For the second year the Timbers Army included Cascadia on its short list of organizations that they support with tickets to the popular local Major League Soccer team’s preseason games.
From Angela Markham at Cascadia’s Rain Garden in Wilsonville: ”The first game, our staff member Meghan (also a huge Timbers fan) took a great group of guys. They had Pizza at Hot Lips and found great seats in the upper levels of the TA section. Two of the guys are huge Timbers fans and attended several games last season with our facility. They were very excited to see the Timbers play again, see captain Jack (who is their favorite Timber), and just be back in Jeld-Wen. For the 3rd guy, it was his very first Timbers match, but he was very excited. The other guys helped him find Hot Lips pizza, helped him find his way around Jeld-Wen, and taught him some of the cheers. Our staff member began to tell him the basic rules of soccer and he explained that he that played soccer as a young adult in the Portland area. They enjoyed the game very much.”
Thank you Timbers Army!
Derald Walker quoted in Oregonian and OPB stories about police response to suicides
February 15th, 2012Portland Police Chief Mike Reese Tuesday morning went on the offensive, defending his officers’ use of force as he presented a report to a downtown public safety group about the increasing number of suicidal calls to police in the city.
“We’re trying to do good in a very broken system,” Reese said, speaking in the Rose Room of City Hall.
Quotes from Derald Walker:
“The problem is with the system that fails to provide the supportive preventive services,” Walker said.
“Walker said the best way to approach someone who is suicidal is to take your time, be empathetic and supportive, and help the person solve their problems and recognize there are other options than taking their life. But he said that when someone is suicidal and under the influence of alcohol or drugs, it’s a “highly unpredictable situation.”
