Update: Drag racer Doug Herbert's sons killed in accident
Our kids have always been our best friends and the bond between the two of us. As you can imagine, the loss we are both feeling for Jon and James at the moment is unimaginable. As brothers, they were always together and were each other's best friend. Jon loved music and cars. He was a dreamer, happy, peaceful, and was most pleased when everyone got along. James loved to skateboard and ride dirt bikes, but he had the kindest heart and was compassionate to all. Our very special boys also loved their little sister, Jessie, who already misses her big brothers. Our family is deeply grateful for the wishes and prayers from our friends, the community and the boy's classmates at SouthLake Christian Academy. Our boys would not like everyone to be upset and cry right now, so please smile when you think of them.
Craigslist or Crimeslist?
In Beaverton, police find a prostitution ring operating in a local motel. And in Gresham, a couple steals and resells utility trailers for years. All of these accused or convicted criminals have one thing in common – they committed their crimes with the help of Craigslist (www.craigslist.org), the wildly popular Web site for buying and selling property and services, as well as finding a job, a roommate or a date. Portland police recently busted a theft ring using Craigslist to sell thousands of dollars worth of stolen property. Following up on a tip that a stolen laptop computer was sold on Craigslist, police served a search warrant on a house in the 9600 block of Southeast Holgate Boulevard and recovered an estimated $30,000 worth of stolen electronic goods, power tools, an LCD TV screen, iPods, car stereos and other consumer products.
