Local area para-athlete Dennis Connors has turned tragedy into triumph in his life beyond the armed forces
Beaverton’s Dennis Connors has a unique story, but at the same time he doesn’t. The former Marine and war veteran has lingering effects from his time defending our country, and further effects from a stroke he suffered four years ago. But while still coping with the sadly common residuals from an experience many can’t relate, along with the tragic results of a compromising health scare, the 39-year-old has made the most of his circumstances, much of which he attributes to a sport that’s now taking him to Paris for the upcoming Paralympic Games.

WATCH: Llamas Roaming Around Airport West of the Gem State
Anxiety and stress overwhelm many of us, and everybody has different ways of dealing with it. For some, they need a day off work to rest and escape society, while others may need therapy, medication, or other treatments. Some face their anxiety and stress head on and try to treat it, while others are in denial and try to escape it and hide it. One common way that has helped handle these diseases is by finding an emotional support animal to help calm them and deal with the anxiety that life throws their way. Recently, someone took their emotional support animal to the airport, and it wasn't one that you would expect to see roaming around the airport.

Primus, Coheed And Cambria Stir Up Mosh Pit Of Heavy Metal Nostalgia In Oregon [Photos/Videos]
A diverse crowd gathered near Portland, OR on Friday for a concert at McMenamins Edgefield featuring Primus and Coheed and Cambria. When it was announced back in February, the co-headlining tour took some by surprise, seeing as Coheed’s heavily conceptual prog rock falls outside Primus’ psychedelic music festival milieu, though upon reflection, the pairing makes perfect sense. Primus has always had a strong footing in both the heavy metal world and jam band scene thanks to Les Claypool‘s idiosyncratic style and eclectic taste. The band recently toured with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer—both fronted by Tool singer Maynard James Keenan—and its heavy metal street credit may have actually peaked around the time that Coheed blew up on a national level with help from games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, which also featured tracks from Primus.

Why “Excited Delirium” is a Fraud
In June 2024 the Mental Health Association of Portland held its Law & Mental Health Conference with a focus on psychosis. Joanna Naples-Mitchell presented “Why ‘Excited Delirium’ is a Fraud”. In March 2022, Physicians for Human Rights published a report which she co-authored titled “Excited Delirium” and Deaths in Police Custody: The Deadly Impact of a Baseless Diagnosis, which found that “excited delirium” has racist origins, lacks a scientific basis, and should not be used as a diagnosis or cause of death. She reviews the report’s findings and the sweeping changes in law and policy that have followed.
