October 31st, 2005 8:37 AM On Saturday, November 5, 2005 at 12 noon at the Clackamas County Volunteer Connection, located at 603 12th Street, Oregon City, Oregon, American Medical Response (AMR) will turn over an ambulance to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office to use as a Community Education/Crime Prevention/Citizen Corps van. Management representatives of the Sheriff's Office and AMR will be present. This event will be in conjunction with the Volunteer Connection's Fall Open House, which runs from 10 am to 3 pm. In early 2003, Deputy Mark Koberstein of the Sheriff's Office Community Safety Action Team asked the Clackamas County AMR Manager Phil Moyer if they might have a decommissioned ambulance to donate. In May 2005, AMR transferred a 1996 ambulance to the Sheriff's Office. With grant funds from Citizen Corps and a generous in-kind donation from Gillespie Graphics in Wilsonville, the van was repainted, refurbished and labeled with logos from the various Citizen Corps components, which are Neighborhood Watch, Volunteers in Police Service, Citizen Emergency Response Teams, Medical Reserve Corps, Fire Corps and Communities Organized Against Disaster. Clackamas County was among the first in Oregon and the Nation to start a Citizen Corps Council, which was coordinated by the Volunteer Connection Director Pam Vick and Project Manager Barbara Karma. This is a natural connection, as Citizen Corps is made up of citizen volunteers in their communities and the Volunteer Connection (a Points of Life Foundation chapter) are the experts at recruiting and sustaining volunteer efforts in our County. The new Crime Prevention van provides the one-man Crime Prevention team with the means to go any place in the county and present effective training and community education. The van is outfitted with a computer, printer, digital camera, photo printer and has AC power to use those devices in any location. It also contains canopies, table. Future additions will include a TV/DVD/VCR player and Iris Scan technology to assist parents with child identification. Additional questions can be directed to Deputy Sheriff Mark Koberstein, (503) 353-4441. Contact Info: Deputy Mark Koberstein Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Phone: 503-353-4441

“RETIREMENT? I STILL HAVE 15 TO GO…..” Mark Koberstein Retirement happens. Just like death and taxes, you can dodge it all you want, but it will eventually happen. Try to do it on your terms. PERS Tier One folks that are eligible to retire need to take a close look at how long they want to work versus what they will get out of any extra years in the new IAP account (Tier Three). This is a basic 401(k) type account that all of our retirement contributions have been going into since January 1, 2004. The rate of return is not guaranteed. Regardless of what ‘tier’ you are under, you need to start planning for your retirement from day one. A healthy deferred comp account and maxing out your Police & Fire Units will actually help you each month compensate for what you lose when you take a PERS retirement. The average loss of wages is about 10 - 20% of your current take home (no OT junky and no huge vacation & sick sell back, which don’t help a lot anyway). If you want to talk about retirement, feel free to come by the CCPOA office and visit. Call me at (503) 655-4070. Mark. The CCPOA Union News is published monthly by the Clackamas County Peace Officer’s Association and is intended for the exclusive use of the members of the CCPOA.

Cycling for a cause By Ellen Spitaleri The Clackamas Review, Sep 7, 2011 Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts and his 14-year-old son Ryan are looking forward to the three days when Cycle Oregon will pass through the Oregon coast, but "Leg 6," maybe not so much. “It is going to be 85 miles, all uphill, from Powers to Riddle, with an elevation of 3,500 feet,” Roberts said, while Ryan added, “They call it the ‘Stairway to Heaven.’” Roberts and his son will team up in more than just name during the 500-mile bicycle ride – the pair will be riding a tandem bicycle, with Roberts as the lead rider, and Ryan in back. Cycle Oregon runs from Sept. 10 to Sept. 17; it begins and ends in Sutherlin, passing through Cottage Grove, Reedsport, Bandon, Powers and Riddle. “We can go pretty fast on the flats and downhill,” Roberts said, adding that uphill will be “way harder.” And there is one more aspect; all Cycle Oregon riders pick a charity to support, and for Roberts and his son the choice was easy – the Clackamas County Peace Officers’ Benevolent Foundation, which supports orphan relief and rescue, among other issues. The organization was founded in 2005 by Steve Hyson and Mark Koberstein, with the original intent to help police officers who were injured or killed. For a variety of reasons, the foundation decided to broaden its focus, to also help children at risk and victims of crimes, and to educate the community about law enforcement, Koberstein said. “When John Van Huizen, a retired Clackamas County deputy, came to us and told us he needed a conduit for a fundraiser to help orphans in Liberia, we took that on as one of our causes,” Koberstein said. “When John came back from a trip to Liberia, he was emotionally distraught by the plight of orphans in Liberia, where 300 children a day die,” from causes related to AIDS and physical abuse, Roberts said. With the benevolent foundation’s help, an orphanage for 50 children was built and local volunteers visit frequently to help carry out its mission. “Our goal now is to raise $22,000 to buy bunks, desks and furniture,” Roberts said, adding that the plight of the orphans “makes us feel fortunate for what we have.” Family affair While Roberts and his son are pedaling their way through Oregon, Roberts’ father, Jim, will be riding in a support van, carrying food, water and gear. Jim Roberts first started riding in Cycle Oregon in 1992, and next year, when he turns 80, he plans to ride it again, along with other family members. “I first rode Cycle Oregon two years ago with him and my mother. There was one leg that was all uphill to Crater Lake, and I didn’t think they could make it, but they did,” Roberts said. His father, a well-known figure in the county, has always been an inspiration to him, Roberts said. |
