Homelessness in Corvallis, a personal story

Corvallis-Benton board finalizes homeless recommendations

A Corvallis-Benton County advisory board has forwarded 12 recommendations on homelessness to elected officials. The Corvallis City Council and the Benton County Board of Commissioners are scheduled to review the report of the Home, Opportunity, Planning and Equity Advisory Board, known as HOPE for short, at a joint meeting May 20. The votes at a virtual meeting Wednesday to approve the recommendations culminated a 16-month process of data gathering and public engagement aimed at producing better coordination of services for the homeless. “Let’s take a breath,” said Julie Arena, the program coordinator for Benton County. “You all have done an excellent job of navigating one of the most difficult problems in our community.”

Friends of late Corvallis activist Ed Epley turn out to pay their respects

On the way to his final resting place, Ed Epley paid one last visit to the Benton County Courthouse. Epley, a dedicated anti-war activist, helped organize the peace vigil that has been held outside the downtown Corvallis landmark every day from 5 to 6 p.m. since Oct. 7, 2001, when the United States launched an invasion of Afghanistan in reaction to the 9/11 attacks. On most of those days, the vigil began with Epley pulling to the curb in his vintage Volkswagen bus and passing out signs to his fellow protesters. Russia accused the West on Wednesday of descending into hysteria over the jailing of opposition politician Alexei Navalny, and the Kremlin said police had been right to use force to break up protests over his imprisonment.
