The Portland cowboy performer known as Leapin’ Louie Lichtenstein, who whips around a 55-foot lasso as his specialty, recently went to Cairo, Egypt as part of Clowns Without Borders, doing shows in disadvantaged communities.
He was joined by Robin Lara, who combines classic skills such as knife-juggling and unicycling with 21st century clowning.
“In our roles as news gatherers, reporters and editors, we have a responsibility to be informative, fair and entertaining, while also being clear and concise with our stories. In Portland, it’s all about delivering news that readers want to read about, while also covering news that needs to be covered.
“We also want to be competitive against other news media outlets, and provide Portland Tribune and Pamplin Media Group readers with quality stories they can’t read elsewhere — or do a better job on stories covered by our competitors. “With the Tribune’s Metro Life section, it’s our goal to publish stories and photos that not only catch the eye, but keep the eyes of readers while making them think and feel. Through our website and newspaper pages, we strive to do a variety of stories from many different walks of life. Human interest stories, we call them."
