By Ryan Horlen Evergreen staff Fourteen years ago, Oregon passed its Death With Dignity act. This controversial piece of legislation gave certain ter- minally ill patients the option to receive life-ending medica- tion. Oregon is still the only state with such a law in place. A nearly identical piece of legislation will be placed on the Washington state ballot this year. I-1000, if passed, will give terminally ill, men- tally sound patients the option to end their own life with a lethal dose of medication.

Micky Ray Gordon pleaded guilty last week in Wahkiakum County Superior Court to charges of animal cruelty, illegal hunting with hounds and criminal trespass. The Longview man was one of four members of the poaching ring to be convicted of wildlife-related offenses. The group was accused of trespassing on private timber land to poach elk, deer, bobcat and other animals. Records show the poachers hit five counties in Washington, and parts of Oregon and Idaho before undercover Fish and Wildlife officers busted them.
