Pat Dooris: August 2006 Archives
I travelled to New Orleans with the Oregon National guard days after the city flooded.
I've reported on a variety of stories over twenty one years in the news biz. Traveling to New Orleans with the Oregon National Guard left me with memories of a destroyed and dirty town---deserted except for the barking dogs. My worst memory there involves a dog stuck in a house across the street from a conven... Detectives have always fascinated me. I think its cool to be able to look a pieces of the puzzle and figure out the who and why behind it all. That's why its amazing to think about what fire investigators do. I interviewed Rich Stenhouse today. He's the lead fire investigator for Portland Fire. He told me he considers every fire scene a crime scene. He tries to rule the crime in or out as he pores over the evidence. And the fir...
Pipe bomb stories often leave me rolling my eyes. It seems we get calls every once in awhile about some device found somewhere---but my impression is that most are the work of a couple kids proving they paid attention in chemistry or physics class. The Salem pipe bomb story proved much different. Thu...

8/08/06 Sometimes in the world of tv news the days are hectic and vaired. Today photographer KC Nolen and I began by covering a news conference featuring the head of Mercy Corps. Neal Keny-Guyer talked about his trip to Lebanon last week. It proved a powerful and moving experience ... especially because he live...
COVERING GAS STORIES Okay...I admit it. Sometimes we may cover gasoline stories too much. But today's story was different. BP is shutting down a huge oil pipeline that supplies a gob of gas (official reporter term) to refineries in the Northwest. A bunch of that ends up going into our cars and trucks in Oregon and Sout...
I've always been impressed by military families. I remembered why again today. I interviewed Debi Bosworth who has a 29 year old son in Afghanistan. And yet, when she began talking about her son and her fear about where he is...
I covered the death of a toddler today in Hillsboro. Her name was Dulce Hernandez Onofre. She was 19 months old. She died yesterday at the hospital. Police charged Dulce's mom's boyfriend in the death. We still haven't gotten the details, although I spent most of the day trying to dig them out. As a jo...
The grass is green and the young trees with their green leaves are stretching toward the sun at the "New Columbia" development in North Portland. At Mccoy Park a few handfuls of kids play on swings or sit under the shelter...or stand near the dancing water fountain with parents. Across the street bare plywood w...
TV people are often late to events. Military people are often early. When the Portland Air guard invites us to events...they invite us early to protect us from ourselves. That's how photographer KC Nolen and I ended up at the gate to the airbase at six am this morning to get on a plane that left at eigh... |
