Oregon's Prison System - things you should know but don't!
Feb 13, 2020 12:00 PM
Oregon's prison system badly needs review! Fifty years ago (when the crime rate was higher) Oregon's population was 2.2 million and our three prisons housed less than 2000 people. Today our population is 4.2 million and we have 15,500 people in prison in over 20 facilities. We spend more on prisons than we do on Higher Education! Many of our prisons are in remote areas - long distances from families and visitors. Frankly, they got there as "economic development" more than sound planning! Oregon's Dept of Corrections and Youth Authority are lead by extremely competent professionals who are striving to make thoughtful changes. The Public needs to know what's going on! Roger and Trevor have a story you need to hear!"

How to Get Control of Overeating and Unhealthy Eating Habits
Jul 09, 2020 12:00 PM
Who does not love to eat? Food is enjoyable. Sharing meals with others is a profoundly human experience. But so many of us develop unhealthy eating habits: eating too much or too frequently, eating unhealthy and junk foods, developing cravings for sweets and snacks. These conditions cause many people to gain weight, possibly become obese, and end up with lifestyle illnesses such as type 2 diabetes.
As a medical professional, I have been researching the human impulse to overeat for more than 20 years. I have studied how we know when we are hungry and how we know when we feel full. In this talk, I will discuss what science tells us about how to gain better control of your eating habits. I will talk about our body's natural mechanisms that, if we pay attention to them, can help learn to eat better. For example, "eating like a toddler" is actually a great way to modify your eating habits. I will discuss why 3rd party diet programs and pre-prepared foods are seldom useful in changing your eating habits for the long-term. And most of all, I will help you see how YOU can regain control of your enjoyment of eating without gaining weight (and even losing weight if you need to) while avoiding or reversing type 2 diabetes.

Multnomah County Library Bond Measure
Jul 16, 2020 12:00 PM
Our Multnomah County Libraries are a community treasure: a safe, welcoming place that opens the doors to reading, learning, and opportunity for all. Every part of our community depends on our libraries. But our libraries are mostly very small, and most buildings are out of date. We have the 4th busiest library system in the country, but we are 102nd in terms of square footage. They regularly turn families away from children’s reading programs because of lack of space. And East Portland and East County – which are home to 40% of County residents – have only 20% of library space, despite serious need for library services. Now is the time to help our libraries by giving them more room, more efficient and modern operations, more safety, and the ability to serve more members of the community. Join Zoom Meeting

Turning Pandemic into “Pen”demic
Jul 23, 2020 12:00 PM
So what does a touring cowboy poet do when pandemic cancels a full schedule of performances? Well, in Tom Swearingen’s case, he uses the better part of the first four months at home completing a book project begun more than four years ago. The result, Reflection, is a collection of 46 of his post popular poems. Swearingen tells stories of the people and land of the American West through original poetry that is often inspired by his own experiences and observations from the saddle. Some are humorous, others serious, and all entertaining. Tom brings his stories to life with rhythm and rhyme and a storytelling style that makes him a popular performer at western music and cowboy poetry festivals throughout the West. Tom is 2019 International Western Music Association Male Poet of the Year and two-time winner of the National Finals Rodeo Cowboy Poetry Contest. Each of his live concert albums have been finalists for IWMA Cowboy Poetry CD of the Year. And now, his book Reflection is receiving praise from first-readers. "Here’s a superb gathering of poems by a master wordsmith. The poems are totally candid, positively well crafted, and will ring true for aficionados of tasteful humor and heartfelt, thoughtful poems that will leave a glow in the hearts of listeners and readers. Tom’s honesty and delightful personality gleam throughout." Join Zoom Meeting https://edwardjones.zoom.us/j/97772984845?pwd=Q1B3SEc2VWhVV2pIKzBvYmt6Yi9XUT09
