  • Jim Serrill Testimony
    Dear Chair Greenlick and Members of the Committee, My name is Jim Serrill, though I’m best known as “Timber Jim”, the first mascot for the Portland Timbers. Being "Timber Jim" wasn't just a stage act; I was a career line clearance tree trimmer for nearly 40 years. Late in my "day job" utility career, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My work truck partner developed the same type of cancer. His experience has been much worse and more painful than mine. Ten men in my industry were diagnosed with cancer as well. It wasn't long after I was diagnosed that I learned that railroad workers, firefighters, truckers, miners and others like me who worked with diesel engines and diesel exhaust face an increased risk of several kinds of cancer. There was a sticker on my wood chipper that stated "this machine is known to cause cancer and reproductive harm in the State of California." I took this as a cautionary warning - not as a possible reality. I faced a fair amount of risk as an electrical worker. I made choices about how to work safely while climbing trees near high voltage power lines and working with chainsaws. OSHA law requires all utilities, contractors and government agencies to recognize and mitigate workplace hazards. A simple axiom exists: "if it's not safe, don't do it.” I also made choices about what I ate, drank, how much sleep to get and how to take care of my health. But I had NO choice about exposure to diesel exhaust.

  • Jimmy Conway OASA Article 2017.Pages
    Jimmy Conway - a local Soccer Legend In late 2009 local soccer legend, Jimmy Conway, was diagnosed with ‘Trauma Induced Dementia’. Since that time the local soccer community has come together once a year to recognize and celebrate Jimmy’s contribution to the game of soccer. Jimmy was born in Dublin, Ireland and went on to play for the famous ‘Stella Maris F.C.’ and became a youth international player for the Republic of Ireland. He progressed up the football ranks and signed as an amateur with ‘Bohemians FC’ before signing for Fulham F.C. prior to the 1966 season. Over a 12-year period he played 316 league and 44 ‘cup' games for Fulham and scored 67 league and 9 ‘cup’ goals during that period. While at Fulham he played as a losing finalist against West Ham United at the famed Wembley stadium, in front of 100,000 fans in the 1975 F.A. Cup Final. Jimmy was ‘capped’ 20 times for the Republic of Ireland and played alongside some of Ireland’s greatest ever players e.g. Johnny Giles. Conway was transferred to the Portland Timbers in 1978 and played 61 matches scoring 7 goals and 14 assists during that period. In 1979 Conway was named Timbers captain. He was appointed assistant coach/ captain in 1980 and went on to work as an assistant coach during two periods at the club 1978-80 and 2001-05. Conway received his USSF (US Soccer) ‘A’ license in January 1991 and was appointed a member of the USSF National Coaching Staff in 1994.

  • Football School Terrific Teams Teaching Notes, 2021
    These notes have been written by the teachers at the CLPE to provide schools with ideas to develop comprehension and cross-curricular activities around this text. They build on our work supporting teachers to use quality texts throughout the reading curriculum. They encourage a deep reading of and reflection on the text, which may happen over a series of reading sessions, rather than in just one sitting. They could be used to support whole class, group or individual reading. We hope you find them useful. Before You Start As you read through the book it would be helpful to use a group journal to organise and store discussions and responses to the text. The book comprises fifty short chapters about fifty teams; every child could read about every team, but it would allow readers to develop a wider range of reading behaviours if you allocate teams to individual pupils, pairs or small groups of readers for them to read then summarise and report back on to the group. This approach would afford good opportunities to practise close reading, re-reading, thinking aloud and summarising alongside skimming, scanning and questioning. Throughout the book, you may need to — or children may be inspired to — conduct extra research around the people, events and aspects shared. Look for ways to support this authentically, sharing with children the ways in which they could go about this. This includes investigating how to find and recognise credible sources and how to ensure they are fact-checking information that they locate. All of this will lead to a richer and deeper understanding of the text and may also encourage children to research topics of their own interest and write about these.

President. Visionary. President Adam Ristick desires to set up the platform of leadership this year, bringing new meaning to what ASWPC does and what they represent. “I serve as a median between Dr. Cook and the student body,” Ristick said. He explained how it is his job to be a bridge connecting the administration and the students. In his eyes ASWPC needs to be proactive, coming to the students to see what they need and how ASWPC can support them. Ris- tick wishes to redefine heart filled service in this school. The question “How can we affect people’s lives?” is only one of many. Ristick wants to be there for the students and allow for opportunities for students to be involved in all aspects of the school. “Any institutional change takes years of consistency,” Ristick said. This year ASWPC intends to “build the foundation that makes room for growth and allows change.” At the end of the day, he hopes that students will benefit from their work even after he leaves.

Ours is a profession under attack, facing technological transitions and real economic challenges. And yet, despite all that, the work produced in our region shines as an example to the rest of the country. We have the largest region by size and, I believe, the best quality of journalists, producers, writers, editors, directors and talent in the nation. We can all be very proud. Tonight, we honor you. We salute our extraordinary Silver Circle inductees, applaud the outstanding work from our Student Award nominees and recognize our remarkable scholarship recipients. We also pay tribute to those we lost this past year. It will be an evening to remember. Events like this don’t just happen. Our board of governors and our committees give countless hours to do our chapter’s work. From nomination parties to award ceremonies, scholarship recruitment to social media campaigns, and show production to entry judging, these dedicated volunteers work the entire year to honor the best. I thank each of them for their service and I invite you to join us. Send me an email if you’d like to get involved. I also especially want to thank our executive director Diane Bevins and her team at Association Services Inc.

Nonetheless, there is a recent emergence of American supporters groups that exhibit characteristics similar to those outside of the US. This ethnographic study focuses on one such group, the Timbers Army, to explore how they construct their own unique supporter identity and to understand how participants come to see the group relative to their understanding of the world at local and global levels.
