Café fills hunger for comfortable place to talk about spirituality

Four initiative petitions
were filed Friday in Tigard,
Tualatin, King City and Sher-
wood that could, if approved,
force a public vote on financ-
ing for any new rail systems
in those cities.
The petitions are similar to
two filed in Clackamas County
and Milwaukie that could re-
quire county officials to back off
providing funding for a new
$1.49 billion MAX line there, ex-
pected to open in 2015.
Petitioners in Washington
County are unhappy with the
way TriMet andMetro are focus-
ing transit dollars on rail sys-
tems throughout the region, and
hope to put the issues on the
Sept. 13 special election ballot,
letting voters in Tigard, Tuala-
tin, Sherwood and King City de-
cide whether they want their tax
dollars to support the project.
If approved the petitions
would create four separate mea-
sures — one for each city — to
amend the cities’ charters pre-
venting them from contributing
to possible MAX light-rail lines.
John Kuzmanich, a spokes-
man for the petitioners, called
the initiative a “true grassroots
movement” saying voters de-
serve a voice when it comes to
these multimillion-dollar proj-
ects.
“This way voters and the peo-
ple can have their way,” he said.
“But putting it on the ballots in
(Tigard), Tualatin, Sherwood
and King City we can allow peo-

Opponents of

The two 13-year old boys
accused of setting a March
19 fire that heavily damaged
Tualatin’s Living Savior Lu-
theran Church appeared
separately before a Wash-
ington County Judge this
week.
The judge ordered that the
teens be held in separate loca-
tions until their next appear-
ance, May 2, at which time they
will enter pleas to several
charges.
The Harkins House Juvenile
Shelter, where one of the de-
fendants will be housed, is in
Hillsboro, just a few blocks
from the juvenile courthouse.
The remaining defendant has
been placed under house ar-

It was touted as the “bat-
tle you had to see to be-
lieve.”
Monday’s episode of the
NBC singing competition “The
Voice” saw Tigard native Jus-
tin Hopkins eliminated after a
battle against teammate and
friend Tony Vincent.
In February, the 31-year-old
singer/songwriter from Tigard
rocked his way to securing one
of 12 seats on musical coach
Cee Lo Green’s team. The real-
ity show has singers from
across the country compete for
a $100,000 recording contract
with the help of celebrity men-
tors.
Singers must “battle” other
singers in duets and the win-
ners move on to the next round
of the competition.
On Monday, Hopkins had to
face Vincent, a singer and for-
mer Broadway star, serenad-
ing audiences with their rendi-
tion of Journey’s “Faithfully.”
Cee Lo Green said he was
impressed and moved by Hop-
kins’ performance, but chose
