    June 5, 2020 150 YEARS OF NEWS FROM A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE CatholicSentinel.org VULNERABLE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Farmworker advocates, including a Catholic physician, step in to protect workers deemed ‘essential’ but who live in the shadows of society By Katie Scott OF THE CATHOLIC SENTINEL Kneeling on damp soil, a mask-clad Magdalena Galindo vigorously shakes a bundle of freshly uprooted greens, sending small pieces of earth into the air. Several weeks ago a fellow worker at the Willamette Valley farm became ill from COVID-19. “I’m worried about the virus,” said the 38-year-old before wrapping the cilantro stems in a barcode-bearing twist tie. “The mask is uncomfortable but makes me feel safer.” Oregon hasn’t yet had a widespread outbreak of the virus among farmworkers, but health experts and service organizations, including Catholic Charities of Oregon, report a growing number of confirmed cases and note that summer harvest is just underway. Agricultural workers often are housed in close living quarters and labor side by side in fields and orchards, Rolando Velasco sprays sanitizer in a bus that transports farmworkers at Siri and Son Farms in St. Paul. After pressure placing them in “a uniquely vulnerable situation,” said from advocacy groups, Oregon workplace safety regulators issued emergency rules to protect agricultural workers from Aaron Corvin, a spokesman for the state’s Occupational outbreaks ahead of peak harvest season.

  • Age Quod Agis
    Jesuit High School • Portland, Oregon • Summer 2010 Age Quod Agis JESUIT COUPLES CONTINUE THE TRADITION 57-Year-Old Smith Gym Gets a Facelift Smith Gym Remodel (photos below): Smith Gym, home to many an athletic contest over the years and now also host to the well-attended Friday liturgies, recently underwent a series of major renovations that transformed the gym’s space. Amid the dazzling improvements, the spirit and history of Smith Gym are still very much alive. The large round shield with the Crusader from the earliest years of the gym remains in its prominent location on the west wall (one of the artists is Dick Matteri, a friend of Dick Gedrose ‘61). When the trusses were prepared for painting during the remodel, several handwritten names and signatures from the 60s and 70s (when the gym was also used for drama productions) were discovered. Here are some of the key improvements: • New sound system, new basketball backboards, and new super structures. Four of the six backboards are motorized, which was part of last year’s improvements. • All new electrical, including a new circuit breaker panel, a few new outlets and new switching for the lights. • All new energy efficiency. Includes high output lighting that can be switched into many different configurations. • New theatre lighting for special occasions. Includes wireless dimmer. • All new paint, top to bottom, including the old steel trusses. Columbia Painting (owner is Chris Lagozzino ‘68) did the paint job. • All gaps in the restored fiber glass panels were cleaned and caulked (which will help improve insulation).
