  • Darlene Kay Hooley 1939–
    ★ current members ★ Darlene Kay Hooley 1939– united states representative democrat from oregon 1997– A former Oregon public schoolteacher, Darlene Hooley began a long climb in state politics in the 1970s, inspired initially by defective equipment at a local playground. Hooley served in city, county, and state government for 20 years before winning election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1996. During her tenure in Congress, Representative Hooley has focused on identity theft and data security, education funding, affordable health care and prescription drug coverage, Image courtesy of the Member the National Guard, and veterans' health care. Darlene Olson was born on April 4, 1939, in Williston, North Dakota, to Clarence Alvin Olson and Alyce Rogers Olson. When she was eight years old, her family moved to Salem, Oregon. Darlene Olson earned a B.S. in education from Oregon State University in 1961, and pursued postgraduate work at Oregon State University and Portland State University from 1963 until 1965. She also taught reading, music, and physical education in Oregon. Darlene Olson married John Hooley, a fellow teacher, and they raised two children, Chad and Erin, before they divorced in 1997. The lack of city response to playground equipment maintenance issues at a local public park, where her son had fallen off a swing onto the asphalt, convinced Hooley to enter politics. In 1976, she was the first woman elected to the West Linn city council. Four years later, she earned a spot in the state house of representatives, where she served until 1987. In the legislature, she chaired the environmental and energy committees where she helped pass energy conservation measures, recycling legislation, and a rewrite of land use planning laws.

  • STUDY AREA #1 HILLSBORO-BETHANY Overview
    STUDY AREA #1 HILLSBORO-BETHANY Overview 2010 2035 Growth Growth % Households 17,614 21,339 3,725 21% Employment 28,491 50,506 22,015 77% Summary About 75% of households are within ½ mile of regional destinations such as schools, shopping centers and major employers – slightly above county urban area average. Employment is expected to increase 77% by 2035, while households increase 21%. HILLSBORO-BETHANY CONNECTIVITY Study Area #1 Findings Street network and intersection density is below county urban area average. Roads and intersections are generally far apart, due in part to large industrial properties in the study area. Roads have relatively few dead-ends or cul-de-sacs. ACTIVE HILLSBORO-BETHANY TRANSPORTATION Study Area #1 Crossing Spacing on Major Streets Average: 0.26 miles Longest: 0.97 miles on Sunset Highway Findings Trail and Sidewalk coverage is better than county urban area average. However, critical gaps remain on Rock Creek and Waterhouse Trails. Bike facility coverage is slightly below county urban area average. Several arterials, including NW 185th Avenue and Cornell and Evergreen Roads, were improved to county standard in the past 15 years. However, several major gaps in the sidewalk and bike lane network remain, including West Union Road. Crossing spacing on Sunset Highway and Brookwood Parkway are well over typical (¼ mile).

  • Wopr Paper 01869.1
    Bureau of Land Management, Western Oregon Plan Revisions Office 333 SW 1st. Avenue, Portland, OR 97208 RECEIVED JAN 1 0 1008 I am very concerned with the direction the Bush Administration is headed with the management of nearly 2.6 million acres of federal forests under the Western Oregon Plan Revisions. The changes the Bureau of Land Management is contemplating will unravel the protections of the landmark Northwest Forest Plan, and will lead to water pollution, degraded habitat, and increased conflict and controversy. The Bush Administration would place half of the public land that the BLM manages - and most of our best old-growth BLM forests - in "Timber Management Areas" to be c1earcut every 80 years. The Bush Administration's preferred alternative proposes to clearcut 110,000 acres of Oregon's old-growth (120+ years) and build 1,000 mile of new logging roads every decade while creating over 100,000 miles of new Off Highway Vehicle Emphasis Areas - all at the expense of roadless areas, threatened species, water quality and non-motorized recreation. Shockingly, the proposal ignores the role that these forests play in regulating the climate. Most Americans want federal land managers to embrace thinning second growth forests, safeguard communities from wildfire and protect what remains of our nation's ancient forests. Indeed, many Oregon forest managers are already moving beyond the conflicts of the past. By focusing on previously logged public forestlands - many of which are now overgrown and in need of thinning - they are providing wood to local mills while actually improving conditions for fish and wildlife and keeping saws out of precious old-growth forests.
