ChastityGlass is beautiful.
Her blonde hair falls in waves, just barely grazing her
tanned shoulders.Shewearsglasses, sometimes, andherun-
lined face is rarely without a small, comforting smile. She
looks like she couldbe a surfer, orpossibly a librarian.
What sets her apart from the scores of other blonde, tan
and happy 30-somethings from California is a poem tat-
tooed onher right forearm:
“i am scared
ofbeing scared…
and so,
I amnot
even if i am.”
She was 27 years old, living inHollywood and recently
dumped when shemet AnthonyGlass, a handsome video
editorwhoworked atheroffice.Theywere instantly attract-
ed to each other, exchanging poetic and increasingly flirta-
tious emails and quickly falling in love. Just a fewmonths
after they starteddating, their love story, a storyofwhat she
calls “thatyoung20s lovewhenyou startmakingplans,”was
unexpectedly and indelibly altered.

Crook Countymay have one of
the highest unemployment rates
inOregon, but thosewho earn an
income make more on average
than most the state’s other coun-
ties.
A recent report compiled by the
U.S. Department of Labor’s
Bureau of Labor and Statistics
revealed that Crook County ranks
fourth in weekly wage among all
36 counties for Fourth Quarter
2012, and second out of the 31
counties with fewer than 75,000
residents.
Washington County tops the
state at an average of $1,101 per
week, while Multnomah County
averages $988, Benton County
$918, and Crook County $908. All
four counties exceed the state
average wage of $871 per week,
but three of them fall short of the
$1,000-per-weeknational average.
