What about "don't use" don't you understand? Oct 1st law prohibits cell phone holding and using in running automobiles. Here are the exceptions:
- When using hands-free or built-in devices, if you are 18 years of age or older.
- Use of a single touch or swipe to turn your device on and off, or start and stop a function within your phone (navigation, music, phone call, etc.).
- When parked safely, like being stopped in a designated parking spot or pulled to the side of the road. However, it is NOT legal to use the device when stopped at a stop sign, or in traffic.
- While providing or summoning medical help and no one else is available to make the call.
Just TOO DARN cute! Welcome "Teddy" the Bear to Gresham's Outdoor Public Art movement! Unveiled in front of Boccelli's Ristorante, the evening before the 35th Annual Teddy Bear Parade.

Defining Moments
Featured Speakers:
Ann Schatz
Meet Ann, the first female sportscaster in two major markets as she inspires audiences to challenge the status quo and develop a plan to achieve breakthrough personal and professional results.
Hear how Franz's defining moment changed the direction of his life and became a story to share and will teach us how to tell our stories. Seen on Oprah and The Today Show, he is a
New York Times bestselling author.
Lisa Sedlar
Lisa quit a great CEO job at a thriving and growing Portland grocery store (New Seasons) to start a risky new venture of her own. She has "leveraged" that insanity to keep her business momentum pushing forward, and will share her experiences and lessons with us.
Her defining moment is like no other. Dying on stage is the last thing you'd expect from an Emmy-award winning actress. Her story is a series of lively and poignant presentations that will touch and inspire any audience

Treasure Hunt at the Beach
 Beginning in mid-October, local glassblowers conceal brilliantly colored, signed and numbered glass floats along the 7.5 miles of public beach in Lincoln City. This year more than 3,000 floats will be hidden among the coastline for lucky beachcombers to find. Train your eyes above the high-tide area and if you find one, it's yours to keep.
