Staff Writer On 1st Street at the 510 Museum & Art Space, the museum has new photographs featuring scenes throughout the heart of Peruvian and Ecuadorian forests and towards their Pacific coasts.This event is being held and organized by Jan Rimerman November 13th and 14th. “My travels takes inspiration from my great aunts who were first-generation Italian-Americans, whose creative spirits could be seen in the beautiful garments they created using salvaged materials from their life’s work as seamstresses and tailors in New York City’s burgeoning garment district,” Jan Rimerman, the hostess of the event, states at a previous interview in Oregon. “Like them, I take pride in creating work with my hands and taking pictures of the lands I get to visits.” Rimerman states on her website “Jan... will present the Art & Culture of Peru & Ecuador in two evenings at the 510 Museum & ARTspace… These evenings will expose you to the light, pulse & magic of the land & the people.” At the showing, artists will present an hour and a half of photographs, stories and give the viewers a glimpse of their latest adventure in South America. There will also be food and an art showing nearby of the local areas where they traveled. This showing is going to be held on November 13th and 14th beginning at 7AM and ends at 9PM at the 510 Museum and Art Space on 1st street in Lake Oswego. And because it is an hour and a half long, some may look at the stunning artwork in the gallery while they wait, or enjoy the gourmet meal and visit with others they meet; but one thing they will do together, look at the lovely pictures of a visit to Peru and Ecuador.

Staff Writer The Earth is an unstable place in many ways. There are wars and national feuds, but right now tectonics are the focus. Scientists have predicted that a massive earthquake could devastate the Pacific Northwest sometime the next 50 years because of a place called the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is an area spanning from southern Alaska to California where two tectonic plates (Juan de Fuca and North America) are colliding. In history this zone has been a hotspot for tectonic activity. It caused the volcanic eruption that created Crater Lake, and it also was the cause of the Mt. Saint Helens eruption in 1980. Historically the last major earthquake in this area was in January, 1700, and only the native peoples experienced it. Now the next major earthquake is about 75 years overdue. Also scientists have estimated the velocity for the earthquake is a 9.0 at worst. But do not fear, scientist have also said that the chances of a 9.0 earthquake is about one in ten. Chances are that there will not be a 9.0, but something slightly less extreme something like a 8.0-8.6. However, in the case of a massive 9.0 earthquake, a tsunami is likely to follow about 15 minutes after the shaking stops. Scientists say that it would take about a year to get all systems such as sewage, water, electricity and roads working again after the earthquake and tsunami hit. But don’t worry, as this is not the apocalypse. It is just a scientific issue. This is indeed a problem, but not a problem that students of LJHS should be worrying about. This is not a huge apocalypse level disaster, although this earthquake will be a problem. The future earthquake will be a natural disaster, but one that our community can handle if prepared.

Staff Writer On november 5th , E.coli took over Chipotle. 27 Chipotle locations are shut down in Oregon and 37 people have come down with E. coli. Experts say that it can be on anything such as lettuce, tomatoes , onions, and possibly even spices. After they figure out what caused the E. coli outbreak, they will then track back to the people and ask what food they ate that day. Experts also track the food from where they get it out of the ground to where they get it delivered at the location, meaning that people track it from the farm to the restaurant Chipotle will re-open when the stores are scrubbed down and have bought new resources, (food) and of course gets a passing grade from the health association. It may take a while for crowds to return to Chipotle because people want to be safe rather than sorry, and it will take time for people to get used to it. Most of the people who got E.coli are in Oregon, and in the Portland area. A woman in Washington sued Chipotle after eating a burrito bowl, and more lawsuits are pending. The CEO from Chipotle specifically said “The safety of our customers and integrity of our food supply has always been our biggest priority.” They also said that they work very hard to get super fresh all natural ingredients, and if they have to, enhance food standards to keep people safe. Anyone who had recently eaten at Chipotle on the days in question were called by health officials who asked if they are ill and vomiting or have bloody diarrhea. Health Officials then requested that people showing symptoms seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms often last for 1-10 days after contact. Also the cases of E.coli are supposed to rise as more diners learn of the outbreak. Even though this will hurt their sales and profit they make, It’s a serious thing that Chipotle has to take care of. Image by Pamplin Media Group By Grace Erickson
Staff Writer Molly Rahe, a local business owner, has owned her shop Elizabeth Jewelry for about one year, but she has been in the handmade goods business for approximately 20 years. She started her business with seven dollars and in exactly one month she had $70, and from then on she kept doubling and doubling and getting better and better tools which helped her make better products that brought in more money. Her shop is in Westlake Village and she sells to other shops and wholesales her product to famous brands such as Made in Oregon. She also shows her product at bazaars and craft fairs along with other artists. She has also been interviewed because of her success for the Lake Oswego Tribune and a few other newspapers. She is considered an anomaly because of her successful growth. When asked about advice to give to entrepreneurial small business hopefuls, she says, “Starting your own business is multifaceted; there is no one element that is more important than another. The most important thing you can do is stay organized when you're analyzing the multiple aspects of business, and above all, never forget there's always a lot to do.” When Molly was six years old she found out that her birthstone was a ruby and she got very excited about wanting a ruby ring. She specifically remembers going over to her grandmother's house for a holiday and they presented her with the ruby ring. Being six years old at the time, she looked at it and instinctively know that it's glass. Thinking it was costume jewelry, she broke the ring, letting the pieces fall to the ground. This was so unlike her personality, which has three core qualities: integrity, balance, and respect. The point of that story was that even though it was a gift she was not going to stand for less, as she explains that one should “Never discount your personal values and strengths.” When asked for further advice, Rahe explains, “I can't really narrow it down to one; there are really three things that I live by. One: do it afraid. Two: do not wait for your circumstances to be ideal. Three: do your best with what you have on hand.” |
