BUILDING TRAILS, TRUST - Pamplin Media Group

By JIM REDDENThe Tribune

Suburban communities need more infrastructure funding for balanced growth

to occur in the region, says re-spected local planner John Fregonese.

Speaking at a Thursday lun-cheon hosted by the Home Build-ers Association of Portland, Fregonese said he agrees with Metro’s assumptions that a dis-proportionate percentage of fu-ture growth will consist of new apartments in the city of Port-land.

“There is ca-pacity in Port-land. The math is there,” said Fregonese, who was Metro’s planning direc-tor in the 1990s before becom-ing a private consultant.

But Fregonese said a large per-centage of newcomers would also move to surrounding cities with walkable neighborhoods — if they can be built.

Plans already exist or are un-derway for such neighborhoods in Hillsboro, Beaverton, Gresh-am, Wilsonville, Tualatin, Sher-wood and Pleasant Valley. Some

would be located in areas where Metro expanded the urban growth boundary for new devel-opment over the past two de-cades.

Metro has added around 22,000 acres to the UGB it has adminis-tered since 1978. But although it has helped fund planning in some of them, little construction has occurred, in part because of the daunting cost of providing the infrastructure they need, such as roads, water lines and sewer systems. That is largely because of the prevailing think-ing that new development must pay for itself, Fregonese said.

“Gresham, Pleasant Valley, Hillsboro, they should all be slam dunks, but they’re not,” he said. “The problem is infrastructure fi nancing.”

South Hillsboro is a good ex-ample of the regional problem. It is being planned for about 10,000 new homes in addition to some mixed-use centers and public ser-vices. But paying for the required infrastructure could add as much as $45,000 to each home, making

Amy Carlsen Kohnstamm delivers the good news to supporters. Kohnstamm dethroned three-term incumbent Portland Public Schools Director Bobbie Regan in a narrow and expensive race.

By SHASTA KEARNS MOOREThe Tribune

Unoffi cial results for Port-land Public Schools’ board of directors showed Amy Carlsen Kohnstamm winning by a narrow margin Tuesday evening in the most hotly contested race of the four open seats.

With most of the ballots counted, Kohnstamm was lead-ing Bobbie Regan 44.6 percent to 40 percent.

“I feel great,” Kohnstamm said at her election night party at The Plant in the 900 block of Southeast Alder Street.

Across Portland, the mood at three-term incumbent Regan’s election party was more som-ber.

“I have to believe there was a bit of an anti-incumbent mood out there,” Regan said. “I’m not sure how much this is about me.”

Regan said despite her ef-forts to audit recent double-digit administrative salary in-creases, the public seems to have associated her with the controversy.

Regan political consultant Liz Kaufman agreed. “When people are unhappy with the status quo, they vote for change, and that’s what happened. ...They affi liated her with the ad-ministration,”

Kaufman said, adding: “If I

were the school superinten-dent, I would take that as a vote for discontent with the leader-ship of the schools.”

Regan said she’s not sure where she’ll turn her energies to next.

In her closing remarks to her supporters Regan said: “In the end, it’s not important who’s on the board, it’s what they can do for our kids.”

Kohnstamm said it was time for change. “People want change in our schools,” she said. “I really benefited from that appetite for change.”

This will be Kohnstamm’s fi rst term on the board of the largest school district in Ore-gon.

“I truly believe that there’s nothing more important to the health of the city than the schools,” Kohnstamm told sup-porters in her acceptance speech. The Lincoln High School cluster parent was for-merly co-chair of the All Hands Raised district-wide schools foundation.

Anthony, Brown and Rosen win convincingly

Winning in Zones 1 and 2 are Julie Esparza Brown and Paul Anthony.

NARROW VICTORY

BUILDING TRAILS, TRUST Metro public process balances conservation and recreation

By JENNIFER ANDERSONThe Tribune

Twenty miles northwest of Portland, in the shadows of Forest Park — both literally and fi guratively — sits 1,300 acres of former timber land called the North Tualatin Mountains.

There aren’t any famous trails there, or landmarks, be-cause it’s in its infancy as a public natural area.

Metro acquired the land with voter-approved natural area bonds in 1995 and 2006, and just last year began the process of developing a conser-vation plan that will guide pub-lic use at the site.

The process will wrap up with the last of four open hous-es this fall and a comprehen-sive plan adopted by the Metro Council soon after.

The North Tualatin Moun-tains project is signifi cant for

several reasons: ■ It will include a small por-

tion of off-road cycling trails for mountain biking, which is re-stricted at Forest Park and Riv-er View Natural Area in Port-land by Portland Parks & Rec-reation.

■ It will be a crucial connec-tor in the regional trail system that will eventually lead from Portland to the coast. “Right now, all of Portland’s trails are essentially cut off from any re-gional trails that exist,” says Jim Thayer, an expert on the wildlife corridors of Forest Park who serves on the North Tualatin Mountains 11-person stakeholder committee. “This would be the fi rst way to con-nect to it.”

■ And while it will be open to many uses — including hik-ing, trail running, wildlife view-ing, picnicking, habitat restora-

tion, conservation education, volunteer projects and other us-es — it would not be open to dogs, either on- or off-leash.

Thayer — who’s authored a book called Portland Forest Hikes and blogs at foresthiker.com — has a problem with that.

“We’re using public monies to build trails,” he says. “Sixty-two percent of Oregonians have pets. They’ll be unable to use the trails unless they leave the dogs at home. I’m trying to get (Metro) to make an exception because it is a regional trail. However it’s part of their char-ter, under Title 10, that prohibits dogs in any natural areas.”

Despite the argument for dogs, Metro’s process is moving along smoothly for other inter-est groups — especially moun-tain bikers.

“They’re doing a really good job of trying to balance the pro-tection of natural areas and the public’s desire to access it,” says Andrew Jansky, who represents the Northwest Trail Alliance on the stakeholder committee. “What they’re doing is really setting the tone.”

Others agree. “They’re trying to make it a

thoughtful process,” says Jinnet Powel, a St. Johns resident and Skyline School parent who’s been involved in the efforts. “They have a lot of factors to balance.”

“Personally, I look forward to trail running, hiking and biking with my family,” Powel adds. “I am hoping that there will be some gentle, single track moun-tain biking trails suitable for our 9-year-old daughter to learn on. A fun trail doesn’t have to be a fast trail.”

Share and share a bikeAbout 75 people showed up at

Skyline School on May 6 for the most recent open house for the North Tualatin Mountain plan-ning process.

They weighed in on three op-tions for off-road cycling — sep-arate use trails, shared use, or a hybrid of the two.

A total of 9.2 miles of potential singletrack trails are included in the concepts, but it’s unlikely that that much will ultimately be built to start.

“Metro will likely start small to make sure we get it right when it comes to off-road cy-cling, keeping in mind that pro-tecting habitat, water quality and wildlife are our top priori-ties,” Metro spokeswoman Yux-ing Zheng says.

Still, mountain bikers are cel-ebrating the effort, and excited to soon have a piece of public land near Portland be open to the biking community.

Jansky envisions it as a po-tential place to hold events like Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day, hosted by the International

Mountain Biking Association on the fi rst Saturday of every Octo-ber.

“We’re hoping for as long a trail to ride as possible,” he says. “Our wish is for the ability to connect the area via existing roads so you can ride out, ride to the other roads and create a meaningful ride.”

Design for both So how can Metro proceed

with allowing mountain biking when it was such a big sticking point for Portland Parks in the Forest Park and River View dis-cussions?

For one, there is no litigation to complicate the North Tualatin Mountains discussions.

For another, Metro has quashed the two main argu-ments naysayers have used to restrict mountain biking from other areas: that they can’t coex-ist with other users, and they can’t coexist with the ecology of the site.

Jansky, the Northwest Trails Alliance member, is also a life-long mountain biker who’s worked as a trail engineer for riverfront communities in Ore-gon for the past two decades.

He says the two primary argu-ments against mountain bikes are solved with proper trail de-sign.

“Trails are designed with modern thinking for that specif-ic social issue,” he says. “This place has ups and downs, lots of obstacles to control speed, and not too many sustained down-hills,” which naturally slow bik-ers’ speed.

The typical average cross-country speed is 5 to 7 miles an hour, he says. On a bike ride with his family last weekend, he watched his speedometer and saw he was going an average 4 miles per hour.

“If you design it so the differ-ence in speed between hiking and biking is not too much, the argument goes away,” he says.

Jansky points to other sys-tems — in Hood River, Sun Val-ley, Boise, Spokane, Bend, Cam-as, and elsewhere — that have

struck a balance between recre-ation and conservation.

“Everybody has fi gured out the multi-use problem,” he says. “Everyone except Portland, and Marin County, (Calif.).”

There’s also a lot of miscon-ception about who mountain bikers are and why they’re out there, Jansky says: “People don’t run over the plants. We don’t go off trails. We stay on them. That’s why we volunteer our time and efforts to build and maintain them.”

Thayer, the Forest Hikes au-thor, can vouch for the value of proper trail design.

“I’ve spent considerable amount of time in the Tillamook Forest,” he says. “They’ve built very nice trails there that are dual-purpose for mountain bik-ers and walkers. ... It’s really just an issue of how you design the trails. I think that can be done in a way that can be satisfying to both parties.”

That’s Metro’s line of think-ing.

“We believe we can fi nd a way to protect sensitive habitat while still allowing the public to access them,” says Dan Moeller, Met-ro’s interim Natural Areas Pro-gram director. “While I’d never say everyone will ever be 100-percent pleased with the re-sults, I hope at the end of this our stakeholders will feel they were part of an open and re-spectful process that considered their input and put forward the best proposal.”

Susan Watt lives across the road from one of the parcels, and has sat in on nearly all of the stakeholder meetings and open houses.

She recently retired from her job as a construction manager for Portland Parks & Recreation, and wasn’t involved in any of the Forest Park or River View public processes but knows the dynam-ics are challenging.

“To make everybody happy ... it’s an impossible task,” she says. Considering the ban at For-est Park and River View, it’s “all the more reason for Metro to al-low mountain bike access in the

North Tualatin Mountain area.”

Saying ‘no’ doesn’t solve the problem

Each summer for the past two years, the Northwest Trail Alli-ance has worked with Portland Parks & Recreation to hold a weeklong mountain bike sum-mer camp for 25 kids.

They provided volunteers, scholarships and instructors for the kids and took them to Ven-tura Park Pump Bike Track in East Portland, Sandy Ridge Trail, and the 3-mile EasyClimb loop trail in Cascade Locks — the latter which Jansky and oth-er volunteers designed and built in recent years at a total cost of less than $5,000.

This year, Jansky says NWTA made the decision not to contin-ue the summer camp due to the fl ap over River View.

Mountain bikers held two pro-test rallies in March to protest the park bureau’s ban at River-view, which came in the midst of their public process.

When it came time to coordi-nate a camp this year, they thought, “this is going to be hard to get people to want to do this. The trust is broken.”

But Jansky says the mountain bike community looks forward to restarting the camp in future years and expanding it:

“We want to rebuild and move forward.”

Mayor Charlie Hales will soon lead a public process to examine opportunities for off-road cy-cling across the city, which Jan-sky is grateful for.

In the meantime, those in-volved in the North Tualatin Mountain planning laud Metro’s process so far.

“We have a growing diversity of users of natural areas,” Thay-er says. “Older people, younger people, more spending time out there — everything from dog walkers to people on singletrack mountain bikes to children to runners. And we have to design accordingly. I think they’re real-izing that simply by saying no, it doesn’t simply solve the prob-lem.”

them financially unrealistic. Hillsboro planners are currently trying to fi gure out if there are public sources — such as a local improvement district — that could be formed to reduce that cost.

Other potential project areas face similar challenges, either now or once their plans are com-plete. They include North Cooper Mountain in Beaverton, the Ba-salt Creek area between Wilson-ville and Tualatin, the Springwa-ter community in Gresham, the Stafford Basin in Clackamas County, and Sherwood West in Sherwood.

According to Fregonese, some governments in other parts of the country provide far more money for such projects. Texas especial-ly supports growth, he said, and sells tax-free bonds for develop-ment.

Fregonese points to two suc-cessful project areas where infra-structure funds were found — Villebois in Wilsonville and Oren-co Station in Hillsboro, which was already inside the city limits when development started. Both are walkable neighborhoods fea-turing a mix of single-family and multifamily housing, with nearby amenities.

Fregonese said those are the kinds of communities that could balance future growth in the re-gion if infrastructure funding problems can be overcome. He urged those at the luncheon, which included many of the re-gion’s top home builders, to work with the suburban governments to identify fi nancing solutions.

Portland plays by different rulesMuch of the new develop-

ment in Portland is not required to pay for itself. That’s partly because of the city’s aggressive use of tax increment fi nancing to subsidize growth in urban re-newal areas, a redevelopment tool available only in existing urbanized areas. City leaders also have secured state and fed-eral funds to help build transit lines that support redevelop-ment projects in areas such as the Pearl District, South Water-

front and the Lloyd District.But Portland also routinely in-

creases the capacity of its infra-structure in areas where growth is predicted to occur. A good ex-ample is the Southwest Ventila-tion and Capacity Improvements Project currently being under-taken by the Bureau of Environ-mental Services. It is an expan-sion of the Southwest Parallel In-terceptor sewer system, which handles approximately 80 per-cent of the sewage from the ridge-line of the West Hills west to the Washington County line and Highway 26 south.

The $3.5 million project is in-stalling about 1,000 feet of 24-inch concrete pipe along Southwest Taylors Ferry Road and 800 feet of 48-inch concrete pipe along Southwest Virginia Avenue. One purpose is to help the Southwest 68th Avenue Pump Station han-dle stormwater when it goes on-line. But another purpose is to help accommodate future growth in the area anticipated in the city’s Comprehensive Plan.

One project likely to benefit from the expansion is Macadam Ridge, a subdivision of 46 new single-family homes proposed in the hills above the intersection of Southwest Macadam Avenue and Taylors Ferry Road. The project is working its way through the city planning process. If ap-proved, it will be the fi rst tradi-tional subdivision built in Port-land in many years.

If the project proceeds as pro-posed, BES will assess the devel-oper an estimated $259,118 in Sanitary Sewer Service and Stormwater Management sys-tem development charges for the 46 houses. The money will help cover new sewer pipes into the development. But the Southwest Ventilation and Capacity Im-provements Project will already be finished and operating by then.

At the very least, such capacity expansion projects amount to no-interest loans to developers. If the developers do not repay the por-tion they use, that means all Port-landers are supporting the new growth, whether they know it or not.

with 77.4 percent of the vote over 19-year-old Portland State Univer-sity student Andrew Davidson’s 22 percent.

At 53.6 percent, Anthony — a longtime parent activist and Chief Financial Officer at a Beaverton-based global fi nancial fi rm — pulled out a major lead over his three op-ponents. Milagro Theater owner José Gonzalez, another favorite to win in that zone, garnered 28.2 per-cent of the vote.

Together with unopposed Zone 7 parent activist Mike Rosen, this sig-

nals a major shift in the district to-ward a slate of candidates who have been critical of PPS administration and Superintendent Carole Smith. Recent controversies over the ad-ministrative pay increases, dispa-rate treatment for students of color and several mid-year departures of principals have marred the district.

The PPS candidates also blasted through campaign fi nance expecta-tions with a combined total so far of about $344,000 in contributions. The lion’s share went to Regan ($130,000) and Kohnstamm ($118,000).

Kohnstamm says she felt like she needed to raise that much to pres-

ent a serious challenge to Regan.“The money is just stupefyingly

amazing,” says Jim Moore, a politi-cal science professor at Pacifi c Uni-versity. Moore says a well-heeled incumbent in a school board race might expect to raise around $5,000 to $10,000. “So we’ve blown that out of the water.”

The voter turnout in this election was 17.1 percent of the county’s reg-istered voters — signifi cantly high-er than the 15.6 percent in an equiv-alent special election in 2009.

Combined, PPS candidates raised nearly $5 for every vote counted.

With the fi rst drumbeat that reverberated through the Robert Ford Auditorium at Jefferson High School, Portland Public Schools’ Na-tive American Student Rec-ognition began.

The May 13 event was held in honor of the 45 Native Ameri-can students who graduated

this year, rewarding them with honor sashes and a culturally relevant celebration. The event is not mandatory and 17 of the graduates showed up to re-ceive their honor sashes.

The graduates have over-come great odds. While Native American students make up a shrinking percentage of PPS’ student body — just 0.9 percent in 2014, according to district counts — they tend to top the charts in undesirable statistics. They are the least likely PPS ethnicity to graduate on time (47.4 percent) and one of the most likely to be suspended or expelled (15 percent of boys, 9 percent overall).

“We have a lot of barriers. We have a lot of obstacles, and yet our culture is strong,” said Karen Kitchen, a Title VII In-dian Education project manag-er at PPS, who added that she is proud and inspired by the annual event. “It’s not about who isn’t here. It’s about who is here.”

School board Directors Pam Knowles and Greg Belisle came to show their support along with Superintendent Carole Smith, who said they came to celebrate all of the tribes “on whose land we, as a school dis-trict, respectfully operate.”

After clearing a hurdle at the Portland Public Schools board last week, a unique housing project is on track to break ground this Sep-tember.

The Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) is launching Generations, a $22 million project that will turn the 3.5-acre Foster Elementary School site in Lents into a mul-tigenerational Native Ameri-can-focused housing complex with six classrooms, two day care rooms, a health center and a longhouse for gatherings.

The project stems from the efforts of 17 partner organiza-tions, including the city of Port-land, Multnomah County, Ore-gon Housing and Community Services and the Oregon Child Development Coalition.

But the project hit a speed bump when PPS Directors Tom Koehler and Bobbie Regan challenged the agreement pre-sented to them for a vote May 5. They settled on a compromise a week later at the May 12 meeting.

Koehler says the trouble lies

in these new frontiers for a K-12 school district: social ser-vices, housing and pre-kinder-garten education.

“The lines between educa-tion and social services are be-coming increasingly blurred, and the way we are dealing with that in this community is partly through partnerships with the social service part of the world, and that’s good,” he said. “But as we move into that, we need to be clear about who is paying for what and why.”

Koehler presented an alter-native resolution that slightly

lowered the percentage of PPS’ financial commitment and spelled out a desire to find more funding partners.

Regan agreed and said a $5 million commitment in ex-change for six classrooms seemed too expensive. “As I look at the cost of the project, it’s not making a lot of sense to me.”

Fresh blood at Multnomah ESDIn unoffi cial results, Stephen Marc Beaudoin

is leading his Multnomah Education Service District board race 53.9 percent to incumbent Doug Montgomery’s 35.4 percent.

“This was a race about moving away from the drama and trauma of the past year,” said Beaudoin, the executive director of PHAME (Pacifi c Honored Artists, Musicians, and Entertainers), a performing arts nonprofi t for people with disabilities. “I think the results very clearly mean the agency is ready to move for-ward in a new direction.”

Siobhan Burke, who joined in Beaudoin’s election party at the Artslandia magazine space on North Interstate Avenue, also won her seat by a solid margin. She was at 73.9 per-cent with 67,293 ballots counted.

Burke is a paraeducator working with chil-dren with special needs at the Pioneer School. She is also active in PAT Solidarity, a group supportive of the teachers union and highly critical of the Portland Public Schools adminis-tration. She ran against consultant and fi scal

conservative Kay Bridges, who had 25.5 per-cent of the vote in unoffi cial results.

Beaudoin beat out Montgomery for the At- Large district seat, as well as Wolf PAC Oregon Director Colby Clipston, who garnered 9.68 percent.

Beaudoin raised $20,648 during his cam-paign and spent $19,666. None of the other fi ve candidates raised more than $750, the trigger for fi ling requirements with the Oregon Secretary of State.

The county-wide umbrella district handles the special education, alternative education, school nursing and other needs of its eight constituent school districts. It has faced a number of problems over the years, including recent controversies over the ousters of 2014 Oregon Teacher of the Year Brett Bigham and Superintendent Barbara Jorgensen.

Michael Durrow was unopposed for his Posi-tion 5 seat and won 96.47 percent of the vote.

about the project during public meetings or to the Portland Tri-bune. He abstained from voting on the agreement, but did not recuse himself.

Director Greg Belisle joined fellow board members Pam Knowles and Ruth Adkins in denouncing Koehler’s changes for coming late in the three-year multilateral process to bring them to the resolution that would start construction.

“The fact that we’re arguing over, again, $70,000 or under $100,000 just on principal, I think that, to me, it epitomizes bad faith bargaining,” Belisle said May 5 to loud applause from NAYA supporters. “I think that’s reactive and bad policy.”

Adkins agreed. “I think it’s wrong to nickel-and-dime a val-ued partner when we are a much larger entity.”

Generations aims to close achievement gap

The Generations project’s first phase — a $10 million housing project — is fully funded without PPS money. It will offer living space to 30 el-ders and 10 families who will agree to foster Native Ameri-can children.

Though Native Americans account for approximately 1 percent of the population in Multnomah County, they make up 22 percent of the county’s foster children. Inter-generational trauma and a re-markably recent past of forced relocation, prohibition of cus-toms and religion, forced ster-ilization, and other racist treatment have taken their toll.

According to a 2011 study, Portland is ninth in the nation for its population of urban Na-tive Americans, but its

achievement figures lag far behind those of similar cities.

With Generations, NAYA hopes to close that gap by of-fering supportive foster homes and early childhood education in a supportive, cul-turally relevant environment.

“This is a hugely innovative partnership that is designed

to support our most vulnera-ble students in this district and our students with the low-est graduation rates,” said Su-perintendent Carole Smith. “It lets us do business differ-ently and really support our Native students differently.”

NAYA Deputy Director Rey España says that despite the last-minute board controversy over the agreement with PPS, the numbers for phase two of the project — an approximate total of $12.5 million for the classrooms, longhouse activi-ty center, health center, eco-nomic development center — are still subject to change.

“Final costs are still in ne-gotiation,” España said. “Some of the final actual cost projection may change be-cause of how the building will be shared by PPS.”

From pre-kindergarten to grade 12, Portland Public Schools currently oversees the education of about 750 Native American students. Among them, they represent 115 tribes each with unique customs and traditions. Their education is provided in part through the Title VII Indian Education de-partment of PPS, funded in part by federal dollars.

The reasons Native Ameri-can students struggle so much in the district are varied, but according to keynote speaker Anton Treuer, there is a com-mon theme: lack of roots.

“We have history, but that doesn’t mean we are history,” Treuer told the assembled crowd of approximately 100 fam-ily and community members.

Treuer, author of 13 books and professor of the Ojibwe

language in Minnesota, has nine children. He offered up the example of his 13-year-old son, who is a skilled trapper and ardent provider for his extended family. But the boy was getting into trouble at school, triggering an Individ-ualized Education Plan meet-ing where educators offered up reward-and-punishment systems, such as sticker charts.

“This kid is from a totally dif-ferent culture,” Treuer said, adding that he explained to the school that his son thrived in-stead on relationships and mu-tual respect. Using these con-cepts, the school was able to approach him differently, and now he is excelling in school. “I think most schools fail to do that.”

Treuer acknowledged sever-al public health factors that al-so negatively impact Native

American acheivement — high rates of drug and alcohol abuse, as well as an unusually high rate of diet-related diseases like diabetes. The U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Ser-vices reported in 2009 that American Indians are 2.3 times more likely to have diabetes than non-Hispanic whites and that children are being newly diagnosed with diabetes at an alarming rate — 110 percent from 1990 to 2009.

Treuer says that with an Austrian Jewish father and a Ojibwe mother, his family’s ef-forts to keep their Native tradi-tions and language alive have been the key to their overall success.

“Ultimately, I think that made all the difference, be-cause nothing can stop an In-dian who knows who he is.”

Oregonians are still against tax increases, even after the Or-

egon Supreme Court’s rejec-tion of PERS re-forms that threatens to punch an $870 million hole in the state budget in two years.

That’s what a recent poll by DHM research found. Even after being told of the PERS prob-lem, 47 percent of re-spondent disagreed there was a need to raise taxes to pay for public services. Only 43 percent agreed taxes needed to be increased.

The partisan divide was even more stark. While 72 percent of Democrats agreed it was time to raise taxes, only about 16 percent of Re-publicans and 34 per-cent of Independents felt so.

“At this point, it doesn’t look like the Su-preme Court’s PERS earthquake has shaken things enough to mobi-lize Oregonians in sup-port of increased taxes to maintain funding for public services. How many aftershocks would it take, and for how long would they need to hap-pen, to change things? Hard to tell,” DHM co-founder Adam Davis wrote in the Oregon Capital Insider newslet-ter published by the Pamplin Media Group and EO Media Group. To subscribe visit: oregoncapitalinsider.com

Hales continues building war chest

Mayor Charlie Hales continues to rake in big contributions for his 2016 re-election cam-paign.

Hales already has raised more than $70,000 so far this year. Recent

large contributions in-clude $5,000 from Foot-wear Specialties Presi-

dent and CEO Henry Pat Ritz, $5,000

from local devel-oper James Winkler, $1,500 from Hales’ for-

mer employ-er HDR Inc.,

and $1,000 each from construction

magnate Mark Bruun, land-use consultant John Fregonese, and ar-chitect Michael Mc-Cullough.

Hales was accused of worrying about his re-election when he with-drew his support for Pembina Pipeline Corp.’s proposed pro-pane terminal. But no viable candidate has an-nounced against him yet and only state Treasurer Ted Wheeler is even thought to be consider-ing it.

Novick, Caleb start raising money

In the meantime, Com-missioner Steve Novick is lagging far behind Hales when it comes to raising money for his 2016 re-election campaign.

Novick has raised just under $9,000 so far this year. His largest contri-butions include $1,250 each from developer John Russell and attor-ney Barry Stein, and $1,000 from New Seasons co-founder Stan Amy.

That’s still better than Novick’s only announced opponent, however. Con-cordia University pro-fessor and activist Nick Caleb only has raised $2,720 so far this year. No contribution is more than $500.

But that’s still more than Commissioner Amanda Fritz, who also is up for re-election next year, has raised. She hasn’t even filed a re-election committee with the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office yet.

Oregon lawmakers have advanced a tentative com-promise aimed at resolving a confl ict between taxicab companies and services such as Uber and Lyft, which con-nect people with rides in pri-vate cars through apps.

The compromise, endorsed Monday by the House Rules Committee, would impose in-surance requirements on Uber and Lyft to cover private drivers while they are con-nected to those transporta-tion networks. But the re-quirements appear similar to what Lyft says it already pro-vides in insurance coverage.

House Bill 2995 also would set up a work group to be con-vened by Gov. Kate Brown to study the issue further and make recommendations by Jan. 13, ahead of the 2016 ses-sion.

The new version is aimed at resolving a conflict between the new transportation net-work companies and taxicab companies, which pressed lawmakers for insurance re-quirements to apply to Uber and Lyft.

The House Transportation Committee had moved the orig-inal bill to the Rules Committee without a recommendation.

“This is why we are at dead-lock,” said Rep. Vic Gilliam of Silverton, the top Republican on the Rules Committee. “I se-riously hope we can work this out, and I think we can get there.”

The bill heads to the Legisla-ture’s joint budget committee, which would fund the study.

House Majority Leader Val Hoyle, D-Eugene, the Rules Committee chairwoman, said further changes to the bill may occur there.

Uber and Lyft were cleared in April to operate in Portland for a 120-day pilot project. Uber stopped operating in Eu-gene after a hearings offi cer concluded that it violated city codes.

“I’m pleased to see us mov-ing ahead with a statewide bill that establishes insurance re-quirements and a study to help fi gure out how to proceed in the future,” said Rep. Phil Barnhart, D-Eugene.

Coverage is proposed at $1 million overall for the company.

For the private driver par-ticipating under Uber or Lyft, minimum coverage would be $50,000 per person for death or injury, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 for property dam-age.

Private drivers also would have to meet Oregon’s current coverage requirements for personal injury protection and

against uninsured and under-insured drivers.

The bill specifies that re-quirements can be met by any combination of insurance from the private driver and the transportation network com-pany.

Of note are the lobbyists representing both sides. Broadway Cab is represented by Stephen Kafoury, a former Democratic senator from Port-land.

Uber and Lyft do not have in-state lobbyists.

For the April 8 hearing by the House Transportation Committee, Dennis Stefanit-sis, a counsel for Uber, came in from New Jersey; Rachel Stern, who represented Lyft, came in from InState Partners in St. Louis.

Oregon would join the other states where legislators could remove the governor and four other statewide offi cials if voters approve a ballot measure cleared Tuesday by the House.

The 47-12 vote moved the pro-posed constitutional amend-ment to the Senate. If cleared there, voters would decide the matter in the November 2016 general election.

The issue arose after influ-ence-peddling allegations that led to the resignation of Gov. John Kitzhaber on Feb. 18. Kitzhaber could be removed

from office otherwise only through a recall election — which under the Oregon Consti-tution could be initiated after six months into his new term — or through a felony conviction. A federal investigation is continu-ing of Kitzhaber and fi ancée Cyl-via Hayes.

“Most people in Oregon feel we already have the power (to impeach), and we do not,” said House Majority Leader Val Hoyle, D-Eugene.

Impeachment would apply to the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general and labor commissioner.

The constitutional amend-ment would require a 60 percent vote by the House (36 of 60 mem-bers) to impeach an offi cial on grounds of malfeasance, corrup-tion, neglect of duty, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

The Senate would then con-duct a trial. A 67 percent major-

ity (20 of 30 members) would be required for removal of an offi -cial.

Impeachment is a political process, and does not preclude criminal charges.

“This resolution is not a weap-on and should never be used as such,” said Rep. Jodi Hack, R-Salem, the other fl oor manager. “It is a tool for accountability of the executive branch and should be exercised for only that pur-pose.”

But Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, was one of a dozen op-ponents of the measure.

He said the recall election, which is a century old, has served Oregon well. No state-wide offi cial has faced an actual recall election, although several attempts were mounted against Gov. Barbara Roberts in the 1990s. None obtained the neces-sary signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Gov. Kate Brown announced Monday that Salem’s Salam Noor should replace Rob Sax-ton as deputy superintendent of public instruction at the Or-egon Department of Educa-tion.

“Salam has worked success-fully to improve graduation rates, close the opportunity gap and provide new learning oppor-tunities to engage students and help them prosper beyond high school,” Brown said in a state-

ment. “Throughout his career, Salam has shown that he can en-gage diverse stakeholders in an authentic way and deliver re-sults. I’m confi dent in his ability to bring people together to re-move barriers to student suc-cess.”

Noor, who was recently made director of academic planning and policy at the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Com-mission, will need to be con-fi rmed by the 2015 Oregon Legis-lature for the top education spot in the state.

Nancy Golden, the chief edu-cation offi cer for the state-spon-sored think tank the Oregon Ed-ucation Investment Board, said she was pleased by the an-nouncement.

“Salam brings deep expertise from years in leadership roles

spanning the education continu-um and has a proven track re-cord of implementing initiatives to improve student outcomes,” Golden said in a statement. “His previous work at the Depart-ment of Education, the Higher Education Coordinating Com-mission, Salem-Keizer School District and as a professor at multiple universities make him uniquely qualifi ed for this role.”

Noor was assistant superin-tendent and chief academic offi -cer of the Salem-Keizer School District for six years.

Saxton announced his retire-ment from the ODE on April 8, to take effect June 30. He will lead the Northwest Regional Educa-tion Service District, based in Hillsboro.

By JIM REDDENThe Tribune

Two weeks after Presi-dent Obama visited Nike to pitch his new international trade treaty, the Portland area once again is at the center of the raging nation-al debate about whether

such deals help or hurt the American economy.

Obama spoke May 8 at the Nike campus in favor of so-called fast track trade legisla-tion being considered by Con-gress. The legislation, co-sponsored by Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, must pass for the U.S. Senate to vote on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade treaty currently being negotiated by the White House with 11 Asian nations.

However, on Monday, AFL-CIO President Richard Trum-

ka denounced the TPP at a press conference about 10 miles from the Nike campus. He said it would reduce American jobs. Trumka also criticized the fast-track legis-lation, which would require a relatively quick up or down vote on new treaties in the Senate with no amendments.

Then the next morning, Trumka’s business counter-point, U.S. Chamber of Com-merce Chair Tamara Lund-gren, defended fast-track and the TPP before the Portland Business Alliance. Lundgen, who is also president and CEO of Port land-based Schnitzer Steel, was the key-note speaker at the organiza-tion’s annual meeting.

“Oregon is one of the most trade-dependent states in the country. Roughly half a mil-lion jobs in Oregon are depen-dent on international trade,” said Lundgren, who described new trade treaties like the TPP as essential for keeping America globally competitive.

The local events show that Oregon and the Portland re-gion are playing outsized roles in the dra-ma unfolding in Washington, D.C. Wyden’s co-spon-sorship of fast track — officially known as Trade Promotion Au-thority — gave it bipartisan credi-bil ity because the other two sponsors are Re-publicans.

B u t Wyd e n and almost all other Democrats in the Senate voted against allowing debate to begin on the legislation last week be-cause the version favored by Republicans did not include enforcement provisions they wanted . Af ter handing Obama a very public defeat, Wyden and most other Demo-crats quickly reached a com-promise with Senate Republi-cans that let debate start this week.

Trumka and Lundgren showed how polarized the sit-uation has become in Wash-ington, D.C. Trumka person-ally criticized the Democratic

members of the Oregon con-gressional delegation who are supporting fast track. In addi-tion to Wyden, they are First District Congresswoman Su-zanne Bonamici, Third Dis-trict Congressman Earl Blumeanuer and Fifth District Congressman Kurt Schrader. In contrast, Lundgren person-ally praised them for support-ing fast track, along with Re-publican Second District Con-gressman Greg Walden, who is also supporting it.

If fast track passes the Sen-ate, the battle will then move to the U.S. House, where some progressive Democrats and conservative Re-publicans have already spoken out against it. T h ey i n c l u d e Democratic Fifth D i st r i c t C o n -gressman Peter DeFazio, who has been urged to run

against Wyden in the 2016 pri-mary election by some fast track opponents. DeFazio has ruled out such a challenge.

Ironically, Lundgren said she and Trumka appeared to-gether at a Washington, D.C., press conference last week to urge Congress to approve more federal funds for infra-structure projects — a top pri-ority for both business and labor.

“There’s no space between us on that,” Lundgren said.

In a Feb. 26 letter to Pembi-na Pipeline Corp., Mayor Charlie Hales expressly com-mitted to bring the company’s proposed $500 million pro-pane terminal before the City Council for a vote.

A little more than a month later, before an April 7 Planning and Sustainability Commission hearing, Hales pressed commis-sion chairman Andre Baugh to move the propane project for-ward so the City Council could vote on it.

Then, in a surprising about-face, Hales said May 6 that he op-posed the propane terminal he’d been championing, and urged the company to withdraw the project, planned for Port of Port-land property in North Portland. Hales subsequently removed the propane terminal hearing from the City Council’s June 10 agen-da.

Opposition clearly was grow-ing among Portlanders alarmed by safety issues and about the city becoming a channel to ex-port fossil fuels to Asia.

Hales also might have given up hopes of passing the $6.2 mil-lion-a-year fee to offset carbon emissions that the Planning and Sustainability Commission pro-posed as a condition of approval. Money from the fee could be used to install more solar energy and other projects to lower car-bon emissions. That might help defl ect criticism that the city re-cently named a “climate action champion” by the Obama Ad-ministration was about to ap-prove a major fossil fuel export terminal.

Hales’ turnaround came as Pembina and Port leaders were raising objections to the carbon fee. On the afternoon of May 7 — the day Hales publicly an-nounced his new position — the fi rst negotiating session on the carbon fee and other matters was slated to take place between the city, Port and Pembina, said Eric Dyck, Pembina’s project manager for the Portland termi-

nal development. That session was canceled.

Pembina offi cials never said the $6.2 million carbon fee was a deal-killer, but they are now openly criticizing the idea.

“That’s 20 percent of our oper-ating costs; it’s not insignifi cant,” Dyck said in an interview Mon-day. “It’s quite arbitrary how it’s done.”

Planning and sustainability commissioners devised a simple formula that assessed the fee on 20 percent of the propane to be exported, calculating that was the share that would drive up carbon emissions. But some uses of propane, such as replacing wood or coal, fi gure to reduce carbon emissions, so Pembina is concerned by the back-of-the-envelope math involved.

That was an “ad hoc idea, on-the-fl y policy setting,” said Stu Taylor, a Pembina senior vice president.

In Hales’ Feb. 26 letter to Pem-bina, released Monday by the company, the mayor noted that “from the beginning, safety has been my key concern.”

Pembina offi cials argue they addressed on-site safety issues with an exhaustive independent review. Indeed, critics of the proj-ect were praising Pembina’s safety record and safety precau-tions by the end, and shifted their concern largely to rail transport of propane, which is beyond Pembina’s control.

But in his public statement an-nouncing his opposition, Hales focused on environmental is-sues. “I do not believe Pembina has made the case as far as Port-land’s environmental standards are concerned,” Hales stated.

Pembina officials can only guess what he was referring to, as the mayor wasn’t specifi c. “It would be nice to have a discus-sion about how he arrived at that, but we didn’t have the op-portunity,” Dyck said.

Dyck and Taylor said the may-or’s decision could be a worri-some precedent for other busi-nesses, because it wasn’t based on an objective standard set by the city. “What do they do to the next business?” Dyck said. “Mayor Hales has taken the goalposts and removed them from the fi eld.”

Pembina offi cials have invest-ed more than $15 million in the project, partly on the strength of early support from the mayor. They’re clearly not willing to give up just yet.

They have prepared more re-sponses to concerns about the environmental footprint of the terminal, arguing that the mas-sive amount of electricity used at the terminal will be offset by the purchase of green-power credits from Portland General Electric. They’ve also done a thorough reading of the proposed 2015 up-date of the city/county Climate Action Plan. The propane termi-nal would not have a signifi cant impact on the city meeting its carbon reduction goals, based on the methodology in the plan, Pembina says, because products shipped through Portland are not assessed.

For now, Pembina officials and their supporters in the busi-ness and labor sectors are lobby-ing the other four city council-ors, hoping one of them might step up and place the Pembina hearing on the City Council agenda.

“The mayor himself asked us to be patient with the process,” Dyck said. “We’re patient.”

But Hales directly oversees the Planning and Sustainability Bureau, and usually councilors get wide berth to manage their bureaus. It would be a somewhat audacious move for other coun-cilors to second-guess him on this issue — especially when the mayor is up for re-election next year.

HALES VS. PEMBINAExcerpts from Hales’ Feb. 26 let-ter to Pembina:

If Pembina supplies safety and risk assessments by March 16, “we commit to following public review process within the following timeline.” Then the letter cites Planning and Sustainability Commission hearings on March 17 and April 7, with an expected vote on April 7.

“If the PSC votes to take action, the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability will timely fi le the necessary ordinance and support-ing documents to move the rec-ommendation to City Council for its deliberation and action.

“I understand your company’s concerns about the length of our decision-making process. However, it is important that the city deliber-ates major public decisions in a thoughtful and open manner.”

For the fi rst time in sev-en years, hard-working Oregonians will be re-ceiving a kicker pay-

ment due to Oregon’s unique tax law. However, along the way something has changed in Sa-lem regarding the kicker. Ore-gonians who have a kicker check coming will not be get-ting a check, they will now have to wait to get their money from Salem on their next tax return.

The obvious reason for this is the state wants to apply kick-er refunds to folks who have past-due taxes or who owe back child support. However, why do hardworking, law-abiding citi-zens have to pay the price for these folks who can’t seem to do the right thing? The state will make interest on the mon-ey they hold for several extra months; do we get part of that interest they will be making off our money? Of course not.

The state should not be al-lowed to willy-nilly force every-one to wait on their money be-cause something quietly changed in the Legislature. Or-egonians voted on the kicker law not once but twice, and it is now part of the state Constitu-tion. This is not what Oregon voters voted for, to allow Salem to hold on to our money.

Dear Salem, we want our

money on time, not when you decide to send it to us, thanks.

Include African-American kids next time

I am writing in response to the Amazing Kids supplement to the May 5 Portland Tribune.

I applaud your decision to provide Oregon youth with a positive refl ection of their con-tributions to their communities and schools. With just 25 youth highlighted, this piece is clearly just a snapshot of the amazing kids in Oregon.

This is why I am so disap-pointed to see the lack of repre-sentation of youth from the Af-rican-American community. Given the high visibility of these amazing youth in my community, it is shocking to see them missing from this snapshot. Given the unique barriers and challenges faced by African-American youth in Oregon, and the many statisti-cal odds these youth leaders must defy to succeed, I expect that they would be celebrated along with their exceptional peers.

Though I am sure it was unin-

tended, this supplement left me saddened for these youth and pained to think what this omis-sion must tell them about how their accomplishments are viewed — or not — in this piece.

When presenting a snapshot

you should be aware of what your exclusions communicate about who matters in Oregon. In my community, African-American youth leaders play a critical role in paving the way for a promising new genera-

tion. You could have created an entire supplement about their important contributions. Please let me know if you would like some introductions.

{ INSIGHT }

When two trains fi lled with dignitaries traversed the new Tilikum Crossing over the Willamette Riv-

er on Friday, May 15, they were em-barking on the offi cial inaugural trip for the MAX Orange Line.

But this celebratory event also could be viewed as an ending of sorts.

There’s a real dan-ger the Orange Line will be re-membered as the

last big transportation project to be completed in the Portland area for years to come.

After decades of steady investment in transportation alternatives in the metro area, our region has arrived at an uncomfortable place: It has no ma-jor freeways, bridges or commuter rail lines in the funding pipeline, and its leaders have no idea where future money for large transportation proj-ects will come from.

The Orange Line, which will open to the public in September, has repre-sented a nearly $1.5 billion infusion into the Portland-area economy. Even

if you don’t believe light rail is the best use of transportation dollars, it’s hard to ignore what the Orange Line investment has meant in terms of lo-cal jobs over the past few years. Nor can you dismiss the immense mone-tary value of development that will occur along its path in the next sever-al years.

Transportation is an essential driv-er of the region’s economy, and for that reason — if no other — it is im-portant that recent conciliatory talks occurring in Salem be continued until they produce a compromise on a transportation-funding package.

Prospects for such a package have been bleak because Democrats in the Legislature pushed through a low-carbon fuel bill earlier in the 2015 ses-sion. Republicans had warned that they would withdraw from transpor-tation discussions if Democrats in-sisted on passing the legislation, which made permanent Oregon’s low-carbon fuel standard.

Business groups, local government offi cials and others have been pres-suring both political parties to move

beyond this impasse and instead con-sider what’s best for their constitu-ents and, indeed, the entire state. If no transportation bill moves this ses-sion, everyone loses — rural resi-dents, urban commuters, farmers and manufacturers alike.

So it was encouraging to see a re-port from the Pamplin Media/EO Me-dia Capital Bureau last week stating that Gov. Kate Brown and legislative leaders from both parties are meet-ing to talk about transportation com-promise. Ideas include making modi-fi cations to the low-carbon fuel legis-lation in exchange for Republican support for a transportation-funding package.

Early this week, the two sides were still far apart, with Republicans ask-ing for complete repeal of the low-carbon fuel standards — something Democrats are unlikely to do. None-theless, some sort of accommodation ought to be possible.

This is mostly a fi ght about sym-bols. The low-carbon fuel standards will have no real effect on climate change. They simply send a message

that Oregon is a state that cares about climate change. On the other hand, the fuel standards aren’t likely to be as economically onerous as Re-publicans believe.

The real damage to the environ-ment and to the economy would come from inaction on transportation. More traffi c congestion means more pollution and less commerce throughout the state.

Money for transportation is becom-ing scarce at all levels of govern-ment. Like the Oregon Legislature, the U.S. Congress cannot get beyond partisan divides to address what should be a fundamental function of government — paying for roads, bridges, highways and transit.

Oregon, however, has taken pride in its ability to rise above such pet-tiness. Highways are not a partisan issue. Republican and Democratic lawmakers will fail their constitu-ents if they leave Salem without acting on this matter and providing a funding stream for the next gener-ation of transportation improve-ments.

Action on transportation funds is crucial

Re: Jennifer Anderson’s articles in the April 2 Tribune on the Colum-bia biogas plant and

Metro’s plans for trash:Everything we do produces

waste streams. Our problems come from treating wastes as garbage to be disposed of instead of assets for energy production. Using integrated biotechnologies to extract energy as effi ciently as possible at every step possible from both our waste streams and agricultural products would take us a long step closer to ending our dependence on fossil fuels, and we’d do a far better job of cleaning up our wastes.

A farmer grows corn. People eat the corn, its highest, best use. The stover — stalks and leaves — is still full of sugars that can be extracted to make ethanol, in-stead of increasing food prices and world hunger by putting corn in gas tanks. What is left is most-ly yeasts that are mostly protein,

and only at this point do you feed any of the corn to live-stock. The ani-mal manures are mixed with the correct amounts of oth-er farming wastes (like bed-ding straw) for most effi cient gas production, and biodigested on site.

It is more effi cient to burn the gas to cook and make hot water and heat well-insulated buildings with 90-plus percent effi cient fur-naces than it is to burn it in a 30 percent effi cient reciprocating en-gine to make electricity, so put it to its highest, best, most effi cient use — which should be a mantra for everything society does.

The solid remnant from the di-gester is sterile, stink-free fertil-izer. The liquid leftovers, com-bined with the CO2, (about half the gas produced) could be used to grow algae for biodiesel. Once the oil is extracted from the al-gae what’s left is carbohydrate and protein — animal feed, fi sh food, more ethanol, chemical

feedstocks — and the algae cleans the water nicely.

People ate the corn. Their wastes, mixed with the right amounts of food waste or shred-ded lawn and garden debris, go to a biodigester designed to make methane as effi ciently as possible, not just to clean sew-age. This cleans up three waste streams at once, and produces clean, carbon-neutral, natural natural gas.

If the feedstock could be kept clean of heavy metals, petro products, etc., the solid remnant from the sewage biodigester would be a better soil amend-ment than when it went in, ster-ile, and far less odiferous. When/where putting it on fi elds — or forests, the soil of which we have strip mined with several genera-tions of trees — is the best use, it’s valuable fertilizer. If we can’t clean up our sewage, it can be pyrolized — volatiles cooked out to recover liquid hydrocarbons that can be turned into diesel and gasoline (e.g., Fischer-Tropsch process), and the bio-char left from that is mostly car-bon, so pumping it back down old oil wells would sequester car-

bon from the atmosphere. Or burn it to generate electricity, and the ashes are a feedstock for a low-carbon geopolymer ce-ment, a replacement for insanely high-carbon-footprint Portland cement.

As on the farm there is still a liquid waste stream, full of nutri-ents, and about half the gas pro-duced is carbon dioxide. Com-bine those to grow algae, which nicely cleans up both, and gets another energy cycle out of the CO2 before releasing it back to the atmosphere. Press the algae for oil for biodiesel, which is a far better fuel than ethanol or meth-anol or hydrogen or biobutanol or any other biofuel being devel-oped — more energy dense, less volatile, easier to store and transport, non-toxic, and easily cleaned up, when spilled, by harmless bacteria.

And at approximately 45 per-cent, small euro turbodiesels are cleaner and more effi cient than electric cars powered by a 30 per-cent effi cient (with line losses) coal-fi red power plant — electric cars run on coal, people! — and half again as effi cient as a gaso-line (or methane) engine. We

will need algal hydrocarbons to replace petroleum for the plas-tics industry, too, once we blow through the world’s oil. We should be investing in the tech-nologies that make the most sense.

The right algae grown in clean feedstocks, once pressed for oil, is mostly carbohydrate and protein, vitamins and minerals — animal feed; or extract the carbs to make more ethanol, and the remnant protein is still animal/fi sh food. But if the right algae are grown in clean feedstocks, the carbs and proteins and vitamins and miner-als left once the fats have been re-moved are a virtual health food and could end world hunger, al-most as a byproduct of develop-ing a clean, sustainable transpor-tation fuel.

And all of this essentially from making most effi cient use of a crop of corn.

We should be investing in the technologies that make the most sense.

TRIBUNE PHOTO: JONATHAN HOUSEBrett Burmeister waits to dig into his burger at Cartlandia, the 30-food cart pod on Southeast 82nd Avenue that was the fi rst in the city to get a liquor license. Now a dozen others have followed suit.


A couple of years ago, Port-land’s food carts — beloved by hipsters, downtown busi-ness people, neighborhood folks and tourists alike — of-fered strictly PG fare. Now, they’re all grown up. Nearly a third of the city’s food cart pods now serve beer, wine or cocktails. Thirteen of the 36 food cart pods citywide have in the past two years sought and received liquor licenses from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.

Thanks to a set of OLCC re-strictions on the licenses, the infusion of alcohol hasn’t had any ill effect on the industry. “We haven’t seen any public-safety impact at these business-es,” says Christie Scott, an OLCC spokeswoman. The OLCC board

approved the restrictions as per-manent rules last Friday, for the first time differentiating food carts from other outdoor areas like patios and sidewalk seating.The rules limit customers to no more than two drinks at a time (16 ounces of beer or cider, 6 ounces of wine, or 2 ounces of distilled spirits); except to allow two people to share a standard 750-ml bottle of wine, and three people to share a 64-ounce pitch-er of beer.“No minors” signs must be posted, and there’s no drinking

Jay Harris is an intelligent man, not given to snap judgments or irrational beliefs. There’s a Ph.D. in his closet and a lifetime of teaching in his past. And yet, when it comes to his sense of personal safety, Harris willingly confesses that how he feels makes no sense.

Harris says he feels less safe, more vulnerable to crime, than he did 20 years ago — even though he knows statistically he’s safer. He has lived in the Northeast Portland Kerns neighborhood since 1981.

He’s not alone.“People are basically

afraid,” says Portland State University criminol-ogist Kris Henning, who has been studying people’s attitudes toward crime. “Most people believe (crime) has gone up, that we’re at epidemic levels,” he adds.

What Henning knows is that crime in Portland is at a historically low level. Vi-olent crime is about half what it was 25 years ago. In Henning’s view, it’s im-portant to fi gure out why there’s such a disconnect between reality and peo-ples’ perceptions, because

often the perception affects reality.People who feel unsafe develop a more negative attitude toward police, according to Henning, and are less likely to assist police in fi ghting crime in their neighborhoods. People who feel unsafe, Hen-ning says, don’t visit downtown or they venture out from their homes less frequently, which hurts the

Portland economy and makes everyone less safe because street activity is a crime deterrent.Jay Harris and his wife haven’t stopped leaving the house. But a year ago, the two of them went out for a short walk and when they returned they found

Bike envoygears upfor fun


There used to be a time when cyclists in Portland would whoop and holler dur-ing videos of other cyclists blowing past stop signs, weaving in and out of traffi c and disobeying the rules of the road.

Not any-more, says Ayleen Crotty, a self-pro-claimed “bike culturalist” who’s pro-duced dozens of bike-themed events, rides and festivals in Portland since 2002. “We don’t do that here,” Crotty says. “We share the road. It’s actually how we’re living, staying alive, getting around to our friends’ houses, school and work. Nowadays we don’t have that in Portland, and we don’t need it.”

That’s not to say that the bike-obsessed in Portland take their cycling too seriously. To the contrary, 38-year-old Crotty, who lives in Woodlawn, has made it her mission to make Portland’s bike culture as fun and quirky as possible. While advocates lobby for more bike infrastructure and funding and entrepreneurs come up with new cyclist-friendly innovations, Crotty has found her niche. “I stay focused on the fun and flair, and leave the advocacy and politics to others,” she says. Working as a photographer and event marketer by day, Crotty has founded many of

Susan Lehman, a Portland Police Bureau advocate for sex assault victims, talks with a former homeless woman who has been victimized several times on the streets.

There are days, more than a few, when Susan Lehman feels, if not torn, at least tugged by the pos-sibility of what could be done. Lehman works as a Portland Police Bu-reau sex abuse victim advocate. Her job is to help women who have been raped.On the job, she is as like-ly to hug a teenage girl who has been sexually abused as she is to spend an entire afternoon lining up shelter for a victim who is homeless. At night, she occasionally fi nds herself in tears, having success-fully maintained the pro-fessional barriers her job requires, saving emotional reaction for her private time. And sometimes, in her private moments, Lehman gives way to the feelings she is not allowed to voice on the job.

“I have thought to myself, I would like to get this bad guy off the street,” Lehman says. Lehman is one of two victim advocates hired fi ve years ago by the Portland Police Bureau after a 2007 city audit determined that Portland had a remarkably low rate of conviction in sexual assault cases. Too many victimized women, the audit noted, were not coming forward to work with po-lice, and not following through to testify after their assailant was arrested.It was hoped that advocates working with assaulted women might help prose-cutors achieve a higher conviction rate, as

George T. MackinAugust 11, 1918 to

May 14, 2015George T. Mackin passed

away on May 14, 2015 at age 96 at Mary’s Woods in Lake Oswego, Ore., where he had resided for ten years. When he departed, he was surrounded by his five children (David, Tom, Kathy, Ann and Susan) and one granddaughter, Allison Mackin. George was born on August 11, 1918 in Portland, Ore. to Thomas and Meryl Mackin. He was raised in North Portland’s Kenton Neighborhood and lived most of his adult life in Lake Oswego at 1890 SW Glenmorrie Terrace, where he made many lifelong friendships.

George graduated from Jefferson High School in 1935. He went on to attend the University of Oregon from which he graduated in 1940 with a business degree and a proud member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

As an officer in the ROTC, George entered the U.S. Army Eighth Air Force at the beginning of WWII, during which he piloted a B-17 bomber as captain of the Hell’s Angels crew in the 303rd Bomb Group. After his tour of duty, he returned to Portland with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He also received the Distinguished Flying Cross along with military honors from the French government.

After the war, on a blind date, he met the love of his life, Barbara T. Skelley. On September 25, 1948, they were wed at a Catholic ceremony in All Saints Parish in Portland.

George worked in the lumber industry, beginning with Fir Pine Products, and soon started his own company, Oregon Moulding and Lumber Co. After operating for many years from an office in Portland’s Pittock Block, he moved to Lake Oswego and set up shop in Lakeside Plaza, an office building at the east end of Oswego Lake near the Lake Theater. Several years later, George purchased the building, and, for a long time, served as its on-site owner/manager.

George loved to read and was a huge sports fan of Oregon Duck football, the Portland Trail Blazers basketball and professional golf. He was president and an active member for many years of the local Rotary chapter, sat on the board of the Citizens’ Bank, served as president of Our Lady of the Lake parish council and was a member of the Oswego Lake Country Club.

Predeceased are George’s parents (Thomas and Meryl), sister (Francis), two younger brothers (Bob and Joe) and wife Barbara, who passed away in 2012. George is survived by sisters, Margie Tursek and Ruth Bjornsen; five children: David Mackin, Tom Mackin, Kathy Mackin, Ann Finley and Susan Boe; and nine grandchildren: John Mackin, Christina Mackin, Chad Ellars, Allison Mackin, Shaina Mackin, Stephanie Foster, Rachel Finley, Steven Boe and Chris Boe.

There will be a funeral mass said in George’s honor at the Provincial House Chapel at Mary’s Woods in Lake Oswego at 11 a.m. Friday, May 29. An on-site reception will follow the mass after which George and Barbara’s ashes will be interred at Willamette National Cemetery after a private family service with full military honors.

Carol Dwyer StraderJune 12, 1931 to May 6, 2015

Carol Dwyer Strader was born in Portland, Ore. to Eddie and Margaret Dwyer. Carol attended St. Stephen grade school, Holy Child Academy and graduated from the University of Oregon in 1953. She was a member of Pi Beta Phi.

In 1954 Carol married Chuck Strader and they moved to Lake Oswego to raise their family; two sons and a daughter.

Carol enjoyed golfing and was active at Waverley Country Club. She was a past president of the Women’s Board as well as a former 18-hole captain. Carol was also involved with Junior League, The Seminary Tea, The Town Club and Eldorado Country Club, to name a few.

In 1988 she became a real estate agent and worked for Cronin and Caplan, and later Windermere.

She is survived by her children, Ted (Janet) Strader, Tim (Lisa) Strader, Kathleen “KC” (Vince) Strader-Moore; six grandchildren; one great-grandchild and her sisters, Frances (Dale) Ramsay and Judy (Bernie) Albers. Chuck preceded her in death in 2009.

Funeral services have been held.Donations may be made to the American Diabetes

Association.

Robert F. Johnson, 88, a long time Sandy resident, died from age related causes on May 15, 2015.

At his request, no services will be held.

Robert was born in Belfry, Montana to Joseph F. and Calista T. (Stober) Johnson. He was raised and educated in various towns in Montana and Oregon because his dad was in heavy construction, so they moved often. Robert graduated from Sandy High School in 1944. His senior year he enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II and served aboard the USS Towner, an AKA 77, in the South Pacific for a little over a year. In 1947, Robert met a local girl (Barbara Earlley) on a blind date. After going together for two years they were married on April 22, 1949. They have always lived in the Sandy area and raised a family of three children.

Robert worked for PGE for 32 years and retired in 1985. He enjoyed working on their acreage, using his tractor and planting a variety of plants and trees. He was chairman of the board of Cliffside Cemetery and spent many hours in seeing to its maintenance. In earlier years, he liked to go hunting, fishing, golfing, and enjoyed playing with his grandchildren.

Survivors include his wife Barbara of Sandy; son, Charles R. of Vancouver, WA; daughters, Cheryl Fischer of Damascus and Janice Hughes of Oregon City; nine grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren; and sister, Betty Wolf of Sandy. He was preceded in death by his brother, Howard Johnson.

015 Marilyn J. “Lynne” Curtis

January 6, 1927 to May 10, 2015

Marilyn J. “Lynne” Curtis passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on Mother’s Day morning, with family by her side. She was 88 years old. Lynne was born in Kansas City, Missouri, to Arthur and Charlotte Johnson. After her father died when she was only 12, she was raised by her mother with much help from her mother’s siblings, who had no children of their own, and who called her “Red,” the color of her hair. They provided many enriching experiences for the young girl, including summer stays in Washington, D.C. and a farm in Charlottesville, Va. as well as a trip to Havana prior to the Cuban Revolution.

Lynne married Wesley B. Curtis in 1952, her husband of 41 years until his passing in 2003. They raised a family in Tuckahoe, New York and Hudson, Ohio. After losing their daughter, Vicki, to a tragic accident in 1978, they retired in Oregon in 2000 to be with their remaining children and grandchildren.

Lynne is survived by her son, Jeff Curtis, Portland, Ore.; daughter, Charlotte “Candy” Lanfear, Dexter, Ore.; and much-loved grandchildren, Ian, Paul, Matt, Max and Emma, as well as a great-grandson Asher, all of whom brought her great pride and joy.

Lynne was a very loving and supportive mother and grandmother. She had a strong love of knitting, crocheting and stitchery, evidence of which is proudly displayed throughout her home and those of her family. She enjoyed time spent with her friends in her bi-weekly knitting group, as well as her time spent with friends in her book group. She was a volunteer for the Wilsonville Library, and while in Ohio, volunteered at the Stan Hywet Historical Home.

Lynne was an avid spectator of all sorts of sports, both on TV and, most importantly, on the fields of her grandchildren’s sporting events. She was the “team grandma” who often showed up with a platter of cupcakes for the team’s post-game treat. She was closely connected to her grandchildren’s activities and passions, always there to cheer them on. Even when it became difficult to walk to the fields, she would make the effort to come and watch from her car.

Lynne will be missed by her friends and family, and fondly remembered as a chatty, cheerful woman that cared deeply for others, and who was willing to do anything to support her family.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 26 at the Charbonneau Country Club in Wilsonville, Oregon. The family welcomes all who had the good fortune of knowing her.

James Eldon BushnellJune 10, 1930 to April 25, 2015

Long time Lake Oswego resident Jim Bushnell passed away April 25, 2015. He was 84 years old.

Eldon, as he was known to many family and friends during his youth, was born in Redmond, Ore., the second of two sons born to Story and Velda Bushnell. He grew up in the Bend/Redmond/Prineville area, graduating from Bend High School in 1949 and then from the University of Oregon in 1954, where he earned a degree in business administration.

He married his high school sweetheart, Marjorie Peak, in 1953. Married for 59 years, she preceded him in death in 2012. The couple spent the first few years of their marriage in Camp Chaffee, Georgia and Fort Benning, Arkansas, while Mr. Bushnell served as a first lieutenant in the US Army Armored Infantry – 5th Division during the Korean Conflict. After the completion of his service, Mr. Bushnell began a 25 year career with Shell Oil Company. The couple lived in Oregon and then California and was eventually transferred back to Lake Oswego, where the family lived until 2005. After retiring from Shell, Mr. Bushnell remained very active and he began a second career in 1980 when he and his wife purchased the Lake Grove 7-Eleven on Boones Ferry Road. When the couple finally retired for the final time in 1995, Jim enjoyed spending his free time attending or watching the Oregon Ducks play football, volunteering at the Oregon Convention Center, and he was also a voracious reader. He was very involved at Christ Church Episcopal Parish. Survivors include his three daughters and sons-in-laws, Linda and Greg Berning of Oregon City, Karen and George Ross of Seattle, and Kristi Bushnell of Tualatin, and two grandchildren, Chris and Maddy Ross of Seattle.

Per Mr. Bushnell’s request, a quiet family service was held at Christ Church Episcopal Parish in Lake Oswego.

Remembrances, if desired, maybe sent to Legacy Hopewell House Hospice, 6171 S.W. Capitol Highway, Portland, OR 97239.

We will miss you, but now it is time for your “Happily Ever After”. We love you.

The Portland Community College board voted Monday night to part ways with Jere-my Brown, the college presi-dent.

Board members unanimous-ly approved a separation-in-service agreement that re-moves Brown from the position he has held for less than two years. The agreement included a $300,000 severance payment.

“This is a mutual parting of the ways,” Deanna Palm, PCC board chairwoman, said after the May 18 meeting. “The board and Dr. Brown realized they were each heading in dif-ferent directions and have agreed to this separation-in-service.”

Palm said the board “thanks Dr. Brown for his service,” and “wishes him well in future en-deavors.”

Under the four-page separa-tion agreement, Brown will be on paid leave (with full bene-fi ts) until June 30, when his em-ployment with PCC officially ends. On July 1, Brown will re-ceive a payment of $100,000 (minus withholding) for wages. He also will be paid for his un-used vacation time.

On Jan. 10, 2016, the college will pay Brown $200,000 in wag-es (minus withholding).

PCC also will pay $11,080 to Brown’s attorney, Judy Snyder of Portland.

In exchange, Brown agreed to release the college from any

claims arising from his separa-tion.

In an email sent to PCC fac-ulty and staff Monday after the board vote, Palm wrote that the agreement takes effect imme-diately and “will enable Dr. Brown to explore other profes-sional opportunities.”

Applying for other jobsThe board made the decision

after an executive session (closed to the public) early Monday evening. It was the third executive session the board held after it was report-ed in late April that Brown was among the candidates applying for the chancellor’s job at Ar-kansas State University Mid-South campus in West Mem-phis.

Arkansas State University System officials whittled the list of more than five dozen hopefuls for the job to four fi -nalists May 5. The university hopes to hire a new chancellor by July 1.

The Arkansas Democrat Ga-zette reported April 20 that Brown was among 54 candi-dates for the job. The newspa-per sought the candidates’ names in a public records re-quest.

News reports about Brown’s application for the job may have prompted two executive sessions by the PCC board on April 24 and again April 29. The board’s closed meetings fo-cused on talks with the col-lege’s attorneys.

The board asked Executive Vice President Sylvia Kelley to take over PCC’s day-to-day op-erations during Brown’s transi-tion until an interim president can be appointed, which could take about a month.

Board members are expect-ed to begin a national search for the next PCC president.

Five-year strategic planBrown took the reins of Port-

land Community College on July 1, 2013, becoming its sixth president since the college’s launch in 1961.

A native of Manchester, Eng-land, Brown served as presi-dent of Dowling College on Long Island and of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, part of the state’s public university system, prior to arriving to PCC. At Dowling, Brown helped sup-port an increase in applications, retention, annual giving and a variety of new academic pro-grams. During his four-year watch at Edinboro, the univer-sity saw record high enroll-ment, retention and annual giv-ing. Brown’s tenure there also included oversight of more than $200 million in new and future construction projects.

Before these roles, Brown was the provost and vice presi-dent for academic affairs at the State University of New York in Canton from 2003 to 2007.

During Brown’s tenure, PCC created a comprehensive fi ve-year strategic plan that was well received by students, fac-ulty and support staff to guide future PCC strategic initiatives and investment priorities.

PCC is Oregon’s largest post-secondary institution and 19th largest in the nation, serving about 90,000 full- and part-time students. The college has four campuses, eight workforce training and education centers, and 200 Portland-area commu-nity locations. The PCC district covers 1,500 square miles in northwest Oregon.

SALEM — A bill to regu-late medical marijuana is headed to the Oregon Senate for a fl oor vote, after law-makers voted unanimously to move it out of a special Senate committee Monday evening.

The legislation would re-quire the Oregon Health Au-thority to begin tracking the movement of medical pot through the supply chain, and it would limit the size of canna-bis gardens, particularly in residential neighborhoods. Cit-ies and counties would gain a 180-day window in which they can permanently ban medical marijuana stores and proces-sors, but the bill would also al-low patients to have cannabis products delivered to them from suppliers around the state.

Lawmakers want to regulate medical marijuana to stop di-version of pot into the black market. No one knows how much pot people currently grow under Oregon’s medical marijuana program, but Rob Patridge, chairman of the Ore-

gon Liquor Control Commis-sion, has estimated as much as 75 percent of medical cannabis is sold on the black market here and in other states.

In 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice issued guidance to states with legal marijuana sys-tems in a document known as the Cole memorandum. Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole wrote that federal prose-cutors would focus on drug traffi cking and other priorities, but would challenge states with legalized marijuana if they do too little to prevent leakage into other states where the drug re-mains illegal.

The bill passed by the com-mittee Monday night also in-cludes a long list of provisions that apply to both the medical marijuana program and Ore-gon’s new legal recreational pot system, which takes effect July 1.

For example, the bill would set packaging and labeling standards for all marijuana items and allow the Oregon Health Authority to set rules to license and accredit marijuana testing labs. It would also re-quire the agency to set health and safety standards for edible cannabis products and concen-trates.

The vote Monday was not surprising. All members of the Senate committee voted last week to support a nearly identi-cal medical pot bill. However,

they did so as part of a joint House-Senate committee, and the legislation failed due to op-position by House Democrats. Lawmakers spent most of the spring working on that bill.

The Senate committee vote puts pressure on House Demo-crats, or potentially a different House-Senate committee, to work out a compromise.

Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Port-land, said Monday night she expects the legislation will eventually go to the budget-writing Joint Committee on Ways and Means, where law-makers can tweak language in the bill.

The disagreement at the House-Senate committee last week centered on a provision to allow city councils and county commissions to ban medical marijuana dispensaries and processors. House Democrats pushed for an amendment that would automatically refer any ban to voters, while House Re-publicans and senators from both parties cast their votes for an amendment that would set out a citizen initiative process for voters to challenge the bans.

The opt-out provision is im-portant to Republican lawmak-ers and lobbyists for city and county governments. Twenty-six counties and 142 cities in Oregon have adopted moratori-ums on medical pot dispensa-

PHILADELPHIA —

Many of the symptoms associated with ‘growing old’ are actually signs the body is running on empty.

For a man, the precipitous drop in the hormone testosterone can be life-changing; degrading the quality of erections, reducing sexual desire, and stamina. There’s more.

A Slow LeakLow ‘T-levels’ can also trigger insomnia,

premature aging of the skin, increased body fat, muscle loss, depression, and worrisome mind and memory problems .

The good news is that restoring testosterone to optimal, youthful levels is a fairly easy process.

The bad news is that it’s painful and expensive.

One has to endure repeated doctor visits, blood tests, painful injections deep into large muscles, or the daily application of ineffective, expensive adhesive patches or messy topical creams.

Now, there’s a better way, say doctors.

Essence of ManIn the quest to keep aging men young

and vibrant, scientists looked beyond human testosterone to discover an ensemble of natural fi re-starters and sexual enhancers that re-kindle a man’s sexual powers by naturally elevating testosterone.

This can make any man a better, stronger lover, and also improve his overall well-being, and confi dence.

The breakthrough is called Beyond Human Testosterone.

It’s a drug-free, two-capsule-a-day formula that is growing more popular with healthcare professionals and men looking for a painless, prescription-free fi x.

Live and Love, YoungerUsers report better sex, increased

mental focus, alertness, and productivity, increased muscle mass, energy expenditure, and smoother, more ‘touchable’ skin.

“Beyond Human Testosterone is an impressive formula,” says physician Dr. Steve Klayman.

“Its ability to stimulate the body into producing more testosterone makes it perfect for every man who wants to boost his sexual response, improve his physical appearance, brighten his moods, and slow the rate at which his body is aging.”

Kevin J. San Angelo, Texas is in full agreement. He has his life back.

Hard as Steel“I’ve had problems sustaining my

erections,” confesses Kevin.

“I tried Beyond Human Testosterone and my erection was unusually hard and I lasted longer than I have in years.”

Reactions like this are not surprising to Dr. Klayman

Raises TestosteroneThe formula pairs dual, testosterone-

boosting plant extracts from eurycoma longifolia and fenugreek seed.

These unique plant chemicals work synergistically to stimulate and increase natural testosterone production.

The result is markedly higher levels of free testosterone in the body.

Bed-Vroom!“Thanks to Beyond Human

Testosterone, I’ve gone from having sex once a week, or sometimes less, to three or four times a week,” laughs Jim K.

“On our last vacation in Mexico, my wife and I were at it almost every day and night. It was like being on our honeymoon again.”

When testosterone is replenished, regardless of age or physical state of health, any man can enjoy a more powerful sex drive, enhanced sexual function, increased energy levels, and a far more pleasurable sexual experience.

Increasing levels of testosterone is, by itself, may not be enough to fully

restore waning sexual powers, warns Dr. Klayman

With age and the natural upheaval in hormonal balance, some men, by no fault of their own, will begin to convert testosterone to... estrogen.

A Monkey Wrench?Ever seen a man with pronounced

‘man boobs?’

This is often caused by this unwanted shift in estrogen-testosterone balance.

The Beyond Human Testosterone formula prevents this with the addition of a remarkable phytonutrient called diindolylmethane, or DIM.

DIM helps safeguard and protect a man’s testosterone reserves.

Guarding TestosteroneIn studies. DIM has been shown to

promote healthy estrogen detoxifi cation and elimination from the body, thus supporting overall hormone balance.

Formulators have included another clinically tested extract, Rhodiola rosea that promotes a calmer yet more alert mind, paired with increased physical strength and stamina.

The effects of these performance-boosting extracts are further magnifi ed and intensifi ed by the addition of piper nigrum, an extract that increases uptake and assimilation of other nutrients.

The addition of two critical minerals, zinc and magnesium, along with an abundant dose of pyridoxine, or vitamin B6 help improve micro-circulation.

Best Friend Re-AppearsSusan. M. who lives in a large city

on the west coast writes about her husband’s night-and-day turnaround,

“Mark has been on Beyond Human Testosterone for four weeks and the changes are miraculous. He’s like his old self again.”

“My husband’s moods have perked up,” says Susan.

“He’s a lot more adventurous. Romance-wise, it’s like it was when we fi rst met.,” she smiles.

“He’s caring, adventurous, and extremely passionate. I’ve got my best friend back!”

Defeating ‘Man’-opause“I just have to say how much better

I feel since starting on Beyond Human Testosterone,” says Larry D. from Philadelphia.

“I admit, I thought ‘male menopause’ was a bunch of baloney, but when I read your Report on ‘Surviving Manopause,’ it was like looking in the mirror. I thought I was just getting old. Now I know better. Your formula has given me a new lease on life!”

Time to Man-Up?If you believe that you are actually

running on empty, instead of just growing old, here’s your risk-free opportunity to do something about it.

In a very short while, you can be enjoying the energy, strength, confi dence, and sexual command that you wielded when you were younger. No doctor, no needles, no drugs.

Walter Hull is a disabled Navy veteran and retired Portland high school teach-er who is working to save from extinction a little-known group of volunteer public servants.

At age 80, he speaks for an aging group of retired disabled veterans who are making life easier for their disabled com-rades and other citizens with disabilities.

This Memorial Day, and ev-ery day, the Disabled Parking Enforcement Volunteers (DPEV) are busy. In the past 12 years, they have issued 5,400 tickets and 25,000 warnings to able-bodied drivers who ille-gally park in slots open only for drivers with mobility is-sues.

Once there were as many as 17 volunteers to patrol dozens of parking spaces. But now only six aging members are active. The group needs new volunteers to make sure those parking spots are used only by folks with disabilities.

“He and Clyde Harmon are behind the group with other volunteers,” said Traffi c Mo-tor Division Sgt. Erin Smith of the Portland Police Bureau. “They are getting older, and they want to bring in the next generation, the next crop to carry on this important work.”

“We want people, even in wheelchairs, to join us in a noble effort to preserve their American Disabilities Act rights,” Hull said. “It’s a civil right.”

He ought to know about rights. After leaving the Navy, Hull taught American govern-ment, economics, critical think-ing and American foreign poli-cy. He taught at Mitchell and Reedsport in Oregon, then in Redding, Calif., and then in Portland and Grant and Rex Putnam High Schools.

“We don’t have enough cops to patrol every violation of dis-abled parking,” Smith said. “It’s very important, and they do it with no compensation, just basically for the feeling of doing something good.”

Authorized by state law, the volunteers work on the out-skirts of Portland, in Gresham and Multnomah County, pa-trolling retail parking lots and Gresham streets.

They leave downtown Port-land to professional paid traf-fic enforcers. In recent months, the City of Portland has begun charging for for-merly free disabled parking spots. The city was compelled to act to stop widespread abuse by able-bodied drivers using invalid, stolen or altered permits.

“Our job is to educate and to enforce the law,” said Hull, who works a few hours a day, four days a week, despite his own disabilities: fi bromyalgia and a recurrent case of post-polio syndrome, a disease he had as a teen but which has recurred, bringing constant pain and weakness.

The ranks of the volunteers have thinned out naturally, said Harmon, also 80, a retired Port-land police lieutenant and the unoffi cial leader of the group.

“But some of them died off; they worked until they dropped,” said Harmon, who suffered an aortic rupture a few months ago and is back on duty. “Others just got so ill they weren’t able to continue.”

Hull and Harmon recently

have recruited half a dozen new enforcers, but they need more. “We want to recruit vet-erans, even wheelchair-bound veterans who do a really good job,” Hull said.

Patrolling is a big and thankless job. It’s not easy and less than popular with the public.

A lot of people fudge their way into those free parking spots, which are close to retail store doors. Many don’t real-ize they are hurting disabled folks in need. Others simply cheat.

“We’ve tried education. We’ve tried warnings. But of-ten the only thing that works is the citation,” Hull said. Parking in a space reserved for people who use wheel-chairs can bring a $190 ticket. Other fi nes for misusing the reserved parking slots run as high as $450.

Hull said cheaters buy dis-abled parking stickers at ga-rage sales or on eBay. They use disabled friend’s or rela-tive’s stickers, or park with a regular sticker in the wider lots designated for drivers who use wheelchairs and need more space to lower and raise their hoists.

Recently, to illustrate what he does as a parking enforcer, Hull toured a WinCo parking lot, pointing out many viola-tions.

He said he could easily write four tickets in any lot he visits, but on this day he simply issued some warnings.

In a typical case, Hull ap-proached an el-derly man and two women who had a disabled parking sticker in their van, but who had parked ille-gally in a wheel-chair-only spot.

“We’re sorry. We didn’t know,” said the man. “You aren’t giving us a ticket, are you?”

He didn’t give them a ticket.Well, what if they didn’t

know?“Ignorance isn’t an excuse,”

he said, but he uses judgment on who he tickets.

Despite his heart problems, Harmon recently started pa-trolling again. He served 10 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and 35 years in the Portland Police Bureau where he re-tired as a lieutenant.

He and his brother, the late Portland police officer Stan Harmon, are the founders of the DPEV. Stan Harmon lob-bied the Oregon Legislature back in 1991 and succeeded in

getting legal authorization for the volunteer group, which op-erated fi rst under the state po-lice and then switched to the Portland Police Bureau, Mult-nomah County Sheriff’s Offi ce and Gresham police.

Stan Harmon, also a Marine Corps veteran, had been forced to retire as a Portland police of-fi cer after he suffered a crip-pling injury when a drunken, stoned sniper shot him while he was on duty in 1977. The .22-caliber rifl e bullet severed his spinal cord, robbing him of his ability to walk.

Once he recovered enough to use a wheelchair, Stan Har-mon rolled forward as a park-ing enforcer. He kept at it, working from his chair for sev-eral years. He died in 2013.

Clyde Harmon said the pa-trol job isn’t easy, but after 35 years as a cop he encounters few human situations he hasn’t seen before.

“Most people aren’t too bad, but you get some real jerks, and most people are doing what they know they shouldn’t be doing,” he said. “They’ll feign ignorance of the law, and

kind of push it off.” Sometimes they

need to pay a fi ne to learn a lesson, he said.

A good number of violators are parents of young children who just want to be closer to the door, he said, “But those spots are there for a rea-son. People really

need them.” The DPEV patrols enforce

four parking violations: cars with no permit; cars with a per-mit that does not belong to the driver; cars with a permit that is invalid, stolen or disfi gured; or vehicles parked in a disabled space marked for a wheelchair only when the permit shown is not for a wheelchair user.

Those who enlist in the parking patrol are given uni-forms and training. They work on their own time without quo-tas or assigned lots and with minimal paperwork and only one meeting a month.

“It’s a good thing to do, and it’s necessary,” Hull said. “It’s just not fair to have these parking spaces abused.”

A Senate committee will take up a bill regulating how police use body cameras to record their interactions with the public.

The Senate Judiciary Com-mittee has scheduled House Bill 2571 for a hearing and possible action Thursday, May 21. The bill cleared the House on a 50-9 vote May 5.

The Columbia County sheriff and Hermiston police have de-cided to equip their officers with body cameras, and Port-land is considering it. Mayor Charlie Hales has endorsed the idea, but equipping the larger Portland police force would be more costly.

“We know this technology is new,” said Rep. Jennifer Wil-liamson, D-Portland, the bill’s fl oor manager. “So I think this is a solid start. I look forward to seeing the policies that agencies develop in their communities.”

However, the bill does not re-quire police to use them.

Under the bill, offi cers can ac-tivate cameras “continuously” upon reasonable suspicion or probable cause that a crime or violation is being committed. The camera can be turned off once an offi cer’s participation ends.

Offi cers must announce that a body camera is in use, but agencies can make exceptions based on privacy, public safety or “exigent circumstances,” such as when an officer at-tempts to thwart someone from committing a crime or inter-views a vulnerable witness.

Although the bill would shield most police video from disclosure — similar to video shot from cameras mounted in patrol cars — it does provide an exception if public interest in disclosure outweighs the need to withhold it.

“I am not sure who is going to determine that,” said Rep. Carl Wilson, R-Grants Pass, a broad-caster who voted against the bill.

Ultimately, a judge would de-termine what is in the “public interest,” which is a common legal balancing test applied to

materials under Oregon’s pub-lic records law.

But requests must be “rea-sonably tailored” to the approx-imate date and time of an inci-dent, and the video must be ed-ited to make all faces unrecog-nizable.

Oregon law bars agencies from disclosing photographs of offi cers without their consent, although agencies themselves can use them.

Rep. Lew Frederick, D-Port-land, said the bill is not meant to single out police conduct.

“It’s also because everybody behaves better when they are on camera,” said Frederick, a for-mer television reporter and the only black member of the House.

“What has been shown in communities across the coun-try where these devices have been used is that both com-plaints and the types of inci-dents that lead to complaints are reduced.”

The Senate Judiciary Com-mittee also has a companion bill, House Bill 2704, that makes it clear it is legal for people to record a conversation with a po-lice offi cer performing offi cial duties in a public place.

“It does not give permission

to anyone to interfere with po-lice work,” said Frederick, the bill’s chief sponsor. “It only al-lows people to record a conver-sation that they are already permitted to hear.”

While Oregon law already al-lows fi lm or video of such en-counters, the bill allows an ex-ception to a longstanding ban under which a third party can-not record a conversation with-out the consent of either partici-pant. Already exempted from that ban are recordings made at public meetings.

Police have raised questions about whether the bill would al-low others to eavesdrop on un-dercover operations or inter-views with witnesses.

Rep. Jeff Barker, D-Aloha, said the bill’s language would be further changed in the Senate to foreclose those possibilities.

“We just need to straighten out this little piece of the law so that it’s all legal,” said Barker, a re-tired Portland police lieutenant.

House Bill 2704 moved to the Senate on a 51-8 vote. A Senate committee had not yet sched-uled it.

Senate panel tackles body camera rulesMost police video would be shielded from public disclosure

ries, but those expired May 1 under the law that authorized dispensaries.

Oregon’s medical marijuana act allows cardholders in the program to have six mature plants and 18 immature plants. Cardholders can also hire a grower to produce the crop un-der the same limits. Over the years, the program has blos-somed into big business for growers, consultants and the owners of clinics where pa-tients go annually to renew their medical marijuana cards.

Each grower can serve four patients, but in practice under state law, this has little effect on the size of medical marijuana gardens. Growers simply regis-ter multiple growers at one gar-den site in a practice known as “card stacking.”

As of May 13, all registered medical marijuana grow sites in Oregon served at least 11 card-holders, which means those gardens could legally have up to 66 mature plants, according to data from the Oregon Health Authority.

The largest medical pot gar-den in the state is still a grow site in the southern Oregon community of Selma, where The Oregonian first reported last fall that all 104 cardholders

have addresses in California.Transporting marijuana

across state lines violates fed-eral law.

“There is no provision in the (Medical Marijuana Act) allow-ing for the transfer of marijua-na to individuals in other states,” Oregon Health Author-ity spokesman Jonathan Modie wrote in an email Monday. “However, the Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that there is no residency requirement to par-ticipate in the (Oregon Medical Marijuana Program) (State v. Berringer).”

The Oregon Health Authority does not have the authority to inspect medical grow sites. On-ly law enforcement can current-ly inspect medical pot gardens, Modie wrote. The bill passed by the Senate committee Monday would allow the health authori-ty to begin inspecting grow sites.

After the special Senate com-mittee voted on the medical pot bill Monday, the joint House-Senate committee met to begin work on a bill containing fi xes that state offi cials believe are necessary to launch the recre-ational pot system. Much of that bill was already drafted earlier this year, as part of the medical pot bill on which the committee deadlocked last week. Lawmak-ers will continue to work on that new bill Wednesday.

THESHORTLIST

PortlandTribune

By JASON VONDERSMITHThe Tribune

The Rose Festival may be uniquely Portland, but the orga-nizers want the annual celebra-tion to continue to evolve to be uniquely metropolitan area.

Now more than 100 years old and still going strong, the Rose Festival has always attracted folks from the suburban areas. Bands from some outlying communities have participated in the parades. Young ladies from the communi-ties became part of the Rose Festi-val Court.

But the Rose Festival wants more, especially with the Grand Floral Pa-rade, as part of its long-term movement to make the festival more inclu-sive. Jeff Curtis, chief ex-ecutive offi cer, has spent the past two-plus months going on recruiting trips to suburban com-munities to rally them, and intro-duce another element to the Rose Festival on a pilot basis — the mini-fl oat, made from a golf cart chas-sis, dressed up to represent the community.

Hood River and Sherwood have already committed to putting mini-fl oats in the Grand Floral Parade, 10 a.m. Saturday, June 6, starting at

Veterans Memorial Coliseum and going through downtown, and Cur-tis expects another couple entries.

“I’ve spent a lot of my time talk-ing with mayors and chambers and visitors bureaus about how the Rose Festival impacts all Ore-gonians, and we’re regional, if not national,” Curtis says.

“It’s been a very positive re-sponse about this,” he adds.

By next year, Curtis expects eight to 10 mini-fl oats in the Grand Floral Parade. It’s an easy way for a community to be part of a mar-quee Rose Festival event. Way

back when, more commu-nities had entries every year in the Rose Festival; Curtis says Battle Ground, Wash., of all places, con-tinues to be a Grand Flo-ral Parade regular. (The Starlight Parade already has some suburban in-

volvement, more of a grassroots feel).

“It’s a way to showcase your community,” Curtis says, of the mini-fl oats in the Grand Floral Pa-rade. “Maybe they want to pro-mote an event they’re proud of, maybe there’s an arts installation or a park or an industry they’re proud of.”

City’s century-old celebration strives to be more inclusive

A mini-fl oat would be easier to construct and, as Curtis points out, easier to store. They’re more affordable, acces-sible and manageable.

“In addition to it being inclu-sive, we think it’s going to be a popular addition to the parade in the future. That’s our primary focus,” Curtis says. “We’re talk-ing to Pendleton and other com-munities, too, not just in the metro area. We see it as a larger conversation, a major effort.”

■ It promises to be a “Bloom-in’ Good Time” — the theme of the Rose Festival.

The opening of CityFair at Waterfront Park on Friday, May 22, signals the start of the prime time for Rose Festival. It opens at 5 p.m. and goes for three con-secutive weekends — May 22-25, May 28-31 and June 3-7.

Opening day features a dance party and a concert by Hit Ma-chine, as well as fi reworks, cho-reographed to music, at about 9:45 p.m.

Unlimited ride wrist bands are $35 in advance (purchase by Thursday, May 21), and $50 at the gate. CityFair features two new Funtastic rides: Rock Star for the more adventurous and Phoenix Wheel for the kids. A CityFair season pass for admis-sion is available at Fred Meyer stores, the Rose Garden Store and Rose Festival offi ce ($10, while they last).

CityFair opens a day earlier, Wednesday, June 3, during the big week of Rose Festival. The carnival has traditionally been open longer, until the Rose Festi-val went with the weekend busi-ness model, but it’s expanding again.

CityFair opens at 5 p.m. May 22, 11 a.m. May 23-25, 3 p.m. May 28 and 29, 11 a.m. May 30 and 31, 3 p.m. June 3-5 and 11 a.m. June 6 and 7. It closes at 11 p.m.

■ The RoZone Concert Series at Waterfront Park features ‘80s music, country, late night fun and KINK.

Berlin, The Smithereens and the Tubes play at the “Rock of the Eighties” concert, 7:30 p.m. May 29 ($25, $30 day of show).

For the fi rst time, there’ll be

more to the Starlight Parade — the all-ages Starlight After-Par-ty, which actually starts at 7 p.m. May 30 (the parade starts at 8:30 p.m.), featuring the Crazy 8s, Nu Shooz and Sir Mix-A-Lot ($10 ad-vance, tickets going fast).

The 98.7 The Bull CountryFest features Big & Rich and Thomp-son Square, 4:30 p.m. May 31 ($32, $35 day of show).

Another ‘80s celebration, “Rock the Roses,” features Great White, Slaughter and Vix-en, 7:30 p.m. June 5 ($25, $30 day of show).

And the band Walk Off The Earth plays during the KINK on the Waterfront, 5:30 p.m. June 6 ($25, $30 day of show).

■ In the wake of PeeDee the carpet from Portland Interna-tional Airport serving as grand marshal of the Starlight Parade, the grand marshal for the Grand Floral Parade will be announced Friday, May 22.

■ On a personal note specifi c to the Rose Festival, they’re call-ing it “The Marilyn Centennial” around the offi ce. It’ll be the 40th Rose Festival for Marilyn Clint, chief operating offi cer, who just turned 60. Added up, 60 years old and 40 years with Rose Fest, it’s 100. “She’s been the guiding force,” says Rich Jarvis, public relations manager.

It’s part of a celebration of women at the Rose Festival this year. Claudia Jensko Ralph, from Longview, Wash., designed

the PDX carpet. Rosie the Rivet-er has been named one of the new “Living History” charac-ters; the “Living History” pro-gram works with fourth-, fi fth- and sixth-graders to teach them about key fi gures in history.

■ A couple of years ago, the military fl eet presence was pal-try because of government bud-get issues. Now, it’s big again, the largest since the 2007 cen-tennial celebration. There’ll be 13 ships in port, including three from the U.S. Navy, three from the Coast Guard and four from the Canadian Navy. They’ll start to arrive around 9:30 a.m. Thurs-day, June 4.

■ The Rose Festival is touting it as more popular than ever. Says Jarvis: “We have more sup-port from sponsors, more buy-in there. We just picked up Lyft, and they’ve been very aggres-sive (competing with Uber).” Unitus Community Credit Union has stepped up support, and the

PeeDee news attracted more supporters, Jarvis adds.

■ The Rose Festival Trea-sure Hunt has offi cially re-turned, with hidings in Mult-nomah, Washington and Clackamas counties, as well as some in Marion and Clark counties. Clues will start to be released at 8 a.m. May 25.

■ Other important times and dates: Junior Parade, 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, Hollywood District; Rose Festival Art Show, 1 p.m. June 3, Oregon So-ciety of Artists, 2185 S.W. Park Place; 127th Annual Spring Rose Show, 1 p.m. Thursday, June 4, Lloyd Center; Dragon Boat Races, 8 a.m. Saturday-Sunday, June 6-7, Waterfront Park/Willamette River; Queen’s Coronation, 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 6, Veterans Memorial Coliseum; Grand Floral Walk, 9:30 a.m. June 6; Grand Floral Float Showcase, 3 p.m., Naito Parkway.

Goldman’s winningsNative Portlander Matthew

Goldman, a 1989 Grant High grad, remembers attending pri-mary school where teachers urged him to play Scrabble and Boggle, work crossword puzzles and word fi nds, and watch the Hangman-like game “Wheel of Fortune,” because it all would help educate him. He watched “Wheel” in the early 1980s, and, with a puzzle in the category “place,” he blurted out “Port-land, Oregon” before any letters turned — and he happened to be correct.

He has been an avid fan since then, and after auditioning in Lincoln City and then in Port-land, the show invited him to participate. So, on Feb. 27, he took his place alongside Pat Sa-jak and Vanna White and other contestants. The show during “Spin Into Summer” week aired Wednesday night, May 20.

Goldman ended up winning $18,796 in cash and prizes, in-cluding an 11-day trip to France (“we’re looking to go next spring,” he says), with the big score coming from the puzzle “high-fl ying acrobats.” It was quite a thrill for the buyer for Cambia Health Solutions’ pro-curement department.

“I was just very, very happy,” says Goldman, 44. “It’s an expe-rience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

“I couldn’t say enough good things about everybody, not just Pat and Vanna and (announcer) Jim Thornton. It’s a well-oiled machine. It’s obvious why they’ve stayed on the air for so long.”

Goldman’s televised “Wheel” appearance came shortly after another Portland-area contes-tant, 20-year-old Stacy Sin-gledecker of Sherwood, won cash and prizes (including a trip to Belize) worth $7,000 on the show.

Quiet RiotSome of you might remember

the band Quiet Riot, which pro-duced such hits as “Cum on Feel the Noise” and “Metal Health” with lead singer Kevin Dubrow. The band will play in Portland,

minus Dubrow, but with veter-ans Frankie Banali, Chuck Wright and Alex Grossi. Jizzy Pearl serves as lead singer. The band plays at 8 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at The Bossanova Ball-room, 722 E. Burnside St., in a Yahoo live concert. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door and $40 VIP (available by phoning 503-206-7630; info at bossanovaballroom.com).

A fair dayThe Oregon State Fair (Aug.

28-Sept. 7) is being promoted in Portland, kicking off the sesqui-centennial celebration — “One Crazy Day in Downtown Port-land” will be happening from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at Director Park. There’ll be farm animals, acrobatic street performers, puppeteers and reptiles.

Music WorkshopA local nonprofi t, Music

Workshop, seeks to extend its free supplemental music educa-tion program in elementary and middle schools throughout Ore-gon. It has kicked off its cam-paign to launch a revolutionary fl exible learning program, “Be The Maestro,” which would fund “Maestro’s Movements,” an online music education platform that would be offered nationwide.

For info and to donate: musicworkshopedu.org.

Dead man signingBill Kreutzmann, drummer

for The Grateful Dead, will be signing copies of his book, “Deal: My Three Decades of Drumming, Dreams, and Drugs with the Grateful Dead,” 7 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, 3415 S.W. Cedar Hills Blvd. in Beaverton.

The Portland Tribune Thursday, May 21, 2015 LIFE B3Portland!Life


As the fi rst female wine-maker to be hired in Oregon nearly three decades ago, Lynn Penner-Ash has seen it all — monsoon-like Memori-al Day weekends, people asking “what she does” at the winery, and the birth and rise of Oregon’s viticulture industry to where it is today.

The co-owner and winemak-er at Penner-Ash Wine Cellar in Newberg is bracing for Me-morial Day weekend, which happens to mark 50 years of winemaking in Oregon.

Since Eyrie Vineyards’ pio-neer David Lett planted the fi rst pinot noir vines in Mc-Minnville in 1965, the Willa-mette Valley has become the epicenter for Oregon’s world-renowned wine industry.

The valley now boasts 647 vineyards, 440 wineries and about 17,000 acres of vineyards — 11,000 of them pinot noir va-rietals. The next largest — just over 2,000 — are pinot gris, with the rest being chardon-nay, riesling, pinot blanc, gew-wurztraminer, syrah and other blends. In July, McMinnville will host the annual Interna-tional Pinot Noir Celebration.

And the list of events and accolades goes on.

“We consider it the launch of the busiest time of year” in the industry, Penner-Ash, 53, told the Tribune last week be-tween a rafting trip to the Grand Canyon and a trek to the Nantucket Wine Festival. “Once Memorial Day hits, we’re running till harvest is over.”

Penner-Ash Wine Cellars (named for her and her hus-band’s pre-marriage names: Lynn Penner and Ron Ash) — is one of a whopping 150 Ore-gon wineries that will host open houses, special tastings,

tours and other events May 22 to 25 to kick off this year’s season.

In 1988, when Penner-Ash worked fi rst at Rex Hill Win-ery and then opened her own winery in 1998, the scene was nothing like that.

In fact, she remembers her fi rst Memorial Day as a wine-maker, when she found herself standing with another woman behind a barrel at Rex Hill Winery, waiting for visitors to trickle in.

Now, Penner-Ash sees a steady presences of locals and tourists all year long.

A typical Saturday in the summer will see about 200 visitors spread across their 80-acre property: in the tast-ing room with panoramic views, the lower fermentation deck overlooking the vine-yard, in a private seated area, or in the vineyard on a private tour.

To accommodate visitors’ interest, a couple of years ago Penner-Ash decided to open the tasting room seven days a week, year-round, rather than close during a slow month in the winter.

In recent years as wineries have sprouted all around, Penner-Ash has added events like concerts, chef dinners and other charitable efforts — both to stand out and give back.

“We’ve grown now; we can take some time and put money into philanthropic events,” Penner-Ash says. “We want to keep it fresh; we want to be on the cutting edge. We want to keep them coming back.”

A July 23 dinner at Penner-Ash prepared by the three re-cent “Top Chef” fi nalists — in-cluding Imperial’s Doug Ad-ams and Departure’s Gregory Gourdet — will benefi t the Children’s Cancer Association.

Tickets sold out quickly. With her background in viti-

culture and enology (the sci-ence of wine), Penner-Ash al-ways has been fascinated by the process of crafting a beau-tiful pinot noir or syrah.

While she is the winemaker, Ron Ash is a retired school-teacher and now does the win-ery’s marketing and sales.

They raised a son and daughter, 23 and 20, who grew up at the winery and often helped out, but are now pursu-ing their own interests.

As a woman in the industry, Penner-Ash says, it wasn’t easy to be taken seriously at fi rst.

“People used to think I was

somebody’s friend, not repre-senting a brand,” she says.

So she did what came natu-rally: “You do have to show a little more strength ... other-wise they don’t take you seri-ously,” Penner-Ash says. “I am selling something, I’m selling myself. I’m selling my brand.”

The wine industry helped blaze the trail, of course, for the rise of craft beer and much more recently, Oregon’s arti-san spirits.

But is it a good thing or a bad thing for winemakers that people have so many choices to drink nowadays?

“We wonder if (the competi-

tion) is making an impact or not,” Penner-Ash says. “When we go out to to dinner, we often start with a cocktail because it is so interesting. I love gin, so the ability to try another’s craft in alcohol or spirits is fun.”

They also do beer tours with their staff, she says. All in the name of research.

But at the end of the day, “We still drink a lot of wine,” she says. “After our cocktail we will enjoy a bottle of wine.”

Flat abs and fl annel shirtsFrom the town that gave Or-

egon its annual Shakespeare Festival comes Ashland’s Patchy Sanders: Danielle Au-bert on banjo, Jacqui Aubert on vocals, Dan Sherrill on guitar, Sara Wilbur on violin, Ian Van Ornum on mandolin, and Eric Jones on bass.

If you went to the Northwest String Summit last year, you may have caught them busking on the grounds here and there, shifting from hootenanny hoe-down music to artsier acoustic numbers. For a taste of their tunes, check out the happy, sappy, harmonica-fl avored number “Mrs. Henry” on You-Tube.

Meanwhile, Michigan roots ensemble Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys features Ms. Lou, part jazz singer, part blues shouter and part folk singer. Bluegrass based and expand-ing into all realms of Ameri-cana, The Flatbellys, like a lot of younger folk acts, uncon-sciously add pop and rock ele-ments to their tunes and give

them a contemporary feel wrapped inside an old school sound. If you’re an indie roots fan, this show is where it’s at.

Lindsay Lou & The Flatbel-lys, Patchy Sanders, 8 p.m. Fri-day, May 22, Alberta Rose The-atre, 3000 N.E. Alberta St. $14 in advance, $16 at the door. Par-ent/guardian must accompany minor. Info: 503-719-6055, albertarosetheatre.com.

His Majesty’s humourAnd speaking of Shake-

speare again, if there’s one

thing we associate with Merry Ole England, it’s dramatic tales of aristocrats slaughtering one another. Enter Royal Blood, composed of bassist/singer Mike Kerr, and drummer Ben Thatcher. Hailing from Brigh-ton, England, Royal Blood are the latest contenders for the rock duo aristocracy, and have a pretty good shot, given they combine blues, garage, grunge and hard rock in a sound that could appeal to fans of Zeppe-lin, Soundgarden and Death From Above 1979.

Royal Blood, Mini Mansions, 8:30 p.m. Monday, May 25, Wonder Ballroom, 128 N.E. Russell St. $20 in advance, $22 at the door. All ages. Info: 503-284-8686, wonderballroom.com.

Crock ‘n’ rollNow this is gonna be a fun

show. Mixing dream pop, punk, rockabilly, glam, Latin rhythms and dry ice, Crocodiles are the kings of Reverb Nation, push-ing forth melodic wondrous rock ‘n’ roll, and promoting their fi fth album, “Boys.” San Diego’s Brandon Welchez (who’s married to Dee Dee Pen-ny of Dum Dum Girls) and Charles Rowell’s noise-pop har-kens back to Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, doo-wop melo-dies, the Ramones at their most joyous, the Jesus and Mary Chain’s adventurousness, and all things glittering and shim-mering.

The Portland Tribune Thursday, May 21, 2015B10 SPORTS

in 1981. Fisher recalls watch-ing Juli Simpson Inkster beat Lindy Goggin in the fi nals.

“Very fond memories,” Fish-er said of her fi rst U.S. Wom-en’s Am. “I was in awe of ev-erything. The course set-up was different than anything I’d participated in. It’s a different feeling to be involved in a tour-nament of that magnitude.”

Fisher has participated in 23 USGA national championships in her four-decade career, in-cluding nine U.S. Senior Ams, in which she advanced as far as the quarterfi nals. A seven-time Oregon Amateur champi-on, Fisher has enjoyed every aspect of playing golf at both the regional and national level.

“It’s so much fun,” she said. “I love the competitiveness and the camaraderie of the women. You see the same fac-es. We’re all getting younger, you know, not older.”

Fisher grew up in the ham-let of Mulino and attended Mo-lalla High. Her father worked for Kappler Lumber, which was owned by the brother of the man who built and started

Arrowhead Golf Club. She played in the fi rst Oregon state high school girls tournament, fi nishing in a tie for second place behind the legendary Mary Budke, who went on to win the U.S. Women’s Am and the AIAW collegiate title.

“We played one match as ju-nior golfers; she beat me by a lot,” Fisher said with a laugh. “We hook up at least once or twice a year and play in a se-nior best-ball together.”

Fisher and her hus-band, Howard, have been married for 40 years. They have three children and fi ve grandchildren. For many years, she jug-gled a career as a hairdresser with her role as mother along with a fortress on the Northwest amateur golf circuit.

“Being a wife and a mom was my hot button,” Fisher said. “Golf wasn’t an extra, but I had to pick and choose my time to play. I had a very sup-portive husband and family. As our kids got older, it was easi-er.

“I’ve never given the game up for a span of time like a lot

of women had to do or felt they needed to do. I was able to just keep playing. And having a husband who is a golfer has helped a lot.”

The 5-3 Fisher is not a bomber, more so a terrifi c short-game player and a mas-ter strategist.

“I’m not a big-time athlete,” she said. “I’ve never been the longest one off the tee, but I can try to be the fi rst one on the green. I rely a lot on my

short game.“Mainly, though, I

just love meeting peo-ple and the competi-tion. The game is in my blood. I love match play. You can have a bad hole and throw it

away — it’s just one. Not that I don’t enjoy stroke play, but there’s a little more strategy involved in match.”

Golf is a family affair for the Fishers. Sons Bryce and Rob-ert played at Oregon State, then played on the mini-tour and are professionals. And now they are club owners. In January, they purchased Ar-rowhead, which brought Mar-cia and Howard full circle.

“We met at Arrowhead,” she

said. “For a while, we lived above the pro shop, and now we own it. Our boys and our daughter (Stacie) are working there. It’s like the culmination of a family dream.”

The U.S. Women’s Am will be the 34th USGA national championship staged in Ore-gon over the years and the third at PGC, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year.

“This is a great way to begin our second century of golf,” PGC President Mark Stayer said.

PGC has a rich tradition of major events, beginning with the 1946 PGA Championships and including the 1947 Ryder Cup and the 1982 U.S. Senior Open. Fisher, who has played her way back to a 3-handicap, would like nothing better than to participate in the next one in August.

“It’s be a stretch for me to qualify for this,” she said, “but I’m doing good. I’m trying to work through some bad habits before I had the surgery. Main-ly, I just want to support the event. I’ll try to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Senior Am, too.”

Folsom, are crestfallen.“My mom mentioned the

other day how hard it is for our whole family,” Teri says. “He was the calmness in our family. Our worry was always something would happen to my dad, because he’s older. My mom said, ‘I always knew if something ever happened to (Ken), Jerome would be my fi rst call.’ She knew he could help us all out. Now we’re all just lost. He took care of ev-erybody.”

Teri has been lifted by the outpouring of support she has received since her husband’s death.

“I’ve had so many letters and cards from people through the Blazers,” she says. “I have boxes of them from all over. I haven’t even got through them all yet. I’m trying to read them all. Every-body has a story. It makes me feel so proud. He touched a lot of people.”

Teri was helped immeasur-ably through the initial phase of her post-Jerome life by her sister, Alanna Mandrou.

“All of a sudden, I had to face everything,” Teri says. “She stayed with me for a month. Having her around was like by security blanket, my comfort. At fi rst, I told her husband he couldn’t have her back.”

Teri has done no counseling yet. She thinks she probably will. She’d like to include her children — McKenzie attends Oregon State while Brendan and Maddie are at Wilson High — in the process.

“The kids seem to be doing OK,” she says. “They’re so quiet. (Wilson High offi cials) contacted me and talked to the Dougy Center about coun-seling. I think I’m going to start family counseling. I

think it would be good for all of us, especially Maddie. She and Jerome were really close. She was the only one who lived with me full-time. It was always the three of us.”

Teri remains close to Kiara, who works as a nanny in Gresham.

“Kiara is doing well,” Teri says, “but she’s just like Je-rome. She’s really strong, but also won’t let you know when she’s hurting unless it’s some-thing she can’t really hide anymore. If something was bothering Jerome, he tried to take care of it on his own. She’s like that, too, but she’s in a good place.

“She is doing well with her boyfriend, and of course the baby (Harley) — she’s per-fect.”

In recent weeks, Teri has gone about the duties of tak-ing care of Jerome’s substan-tial wardrobe.

“Jerome was a clothes hoarder,” she says. “Oh my God — six closets full. He had 280 pairs of shoes. I never should have felt bad about bringing home a new pair of shoes. Dozens of suits and hundreds of ties. I still have a couple of closets to go.”

Teri and J.R. Harris, Je-rome’s longtime friend, gath-ered much of the clothing and

donated it to Best Foot For-ward, an organization that provides professional apparel for low-income men.

“It was hard to do,” she says. “It was a very emotional day. When (Best Foot Forward representatives) came to the house, the lady said to me, ‘We’re honored you chose us, and we will honor Jerome.’ I started crying, but it felt good. I knew that is exactly what he would have wanted done.”

Teri was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis more than a decade ago. That seems to be relatively under control. She has had recent episodes with migraine headaches, some-thing with which she has dealt since the age of 16.

“The migraines are related to stress, but not to the MS,” she says. “As far as MS symp-toms, I haven’t had any prob-lems at all.”

Teri is recovering from ar-throscopic shoulder surgery she had on March 16.

“I was supposed to have the surgery on the Friday after Jerome died,” she says. “I’d been having shoulder pain for months. We had to postpone.”

For years, Teri worked as a dental assistant. Her fi rst thought was to return to work, at least part-time. But she and her sister are serving as co-executive directors of the Jerome Kersey Founda-tion.

“That’s taking up a lot of my time, which is why I think I’m stressed out,” Teri says with a laugh.

Teri’s original plan was to have a dinner/auction fund-raiser for the foundation on June 26, Jerome’s birthday. Because some key celebrities will be out of town on that date, it will be held sometime in September. In future years, the event will be held June 26.

“We’ll do a golf event, be-cause we all know where Je-

rome would be on his birth-day,” Teri says. “The goal is to establish a pediatric dental clinic for children who are un-derserved. Alanna works as a dental hygienist, I worked in that fi eld, and Jerome had that big, beautiful smile. There are a lot of dental con-nections. That’s why we’re do-ing it.”

Teri has had a home built in Wilsonville that should be ready by the end of May. It’s 2,400 square feet with four bedrooms and three baths — “perfect for the kids and me,” she says.

A North Medford High graduate, Teri will remain in her home state, though she yearns for a winter home in warmer climes.

“I’ll absolutely stay in Port-land, mostly because my kids won’t ever leave here,” she says. “They are Portlanders, for sure. Will I leave maybe six months out of the year? Yes, I would love to, but just for a few months.

“Jerome always wanted to stay in Portland. His thoughts were to never leave. I always would say, ‘As soon as the kids graduate, we have to get out of here.’ Then when Harley came along, he’s like, ‘See, now we really can’t leave.’ I said, ‘We’ll send postcards.’ But he didn’t ever want to leave.”

If she chooses not to work, Teri should be able to live comfortably on an NBA pen-sion and a life insurance poli-cy Jerome took out through the Blazers.

“He always said he would take care of me,” she says, “and he has taken care of me, for sure.”

Teri’s association with Athey Creek Christian Fellow-ship in Wilsonville has helped

her through her time of crisis. Teri and Jerome were regular attendees of Sunday services there. Pastor Brett Meador — who conducted Jerome’s per-sonal memorial service — was Teri’s youth pastor in Med-ford.

“The church family has been so helpful,” she says. “Being able to get through this, it’s all been because of God. I grew up in church. If I were a non-believer, I would be not functioning.

“I said at the service that my hope is we’ll meet again in heaven. I truly meant that. I know I’ll be seeing Jerome again. If I didn’t think I were going to see him again, I’d be at home curled up in bed.”

A week after her husband’s death, she had his name tat-tooed on her wrist.

“I was his only wife, ever,” she says through tears. She pauses for a few seconds.

“I just keep going, ‘Oh, Je-rome,’” she says. “I get mad. ‘Ahh, knucklehead.’”

She pauses again, then con-tinues.

“It took me so long to fi nal-ly get that guy to marry me,” Teri says. “Then (the mar-riage lasts) a year and fi ve months. Everything was fall-ing into place for him. His life was good. Everything was good. With work, his personal life, his grandbaby. It’s hard. I can’t get past that.”

But she must. With time, she will.

“I’m 41,” she says. “I hope to not be single the rest of my life. But someone has some big shoes to fi ll. It was hard enough for me to fi nd some-one who measured up to my dad.”

The pain remains fresh, three months after Jerome Kersey left us, shaking the state of Oregon and the city of Portland and the many thousands moved by the life and legend of the former Trail Blazer great.

Nowhere is the hurt stron-

ger than with his widow, Teri, who is still in the midst of the grieving process that is going to take some time, a lot of time.

“I take it day by day,” Teri says over lunch near her Lake Grove home on a recent after-noon. “One minute, I’m feel-ing fi ne. The next minute, it hits me.”

Teri shares the pain with Jerome’s daughter, Kiara, and her infant daughter Harley, who had become her grandfa-ther’s pride and joy in such a short time. And Teri’s three children, McKenzie, Brendan and Maddie, who had become

Jerome’s own in the decade he and Teri were together.

“It was Maddie’s 15th birth-day on the day Jerome died (Feb. 18),” Teri says. “I don’t feel like I get angry in this whole thing. I feel I got ripped off a little bit. But the part that eats me, hurts me more than anything, is that he died on her birthday.”

Jerome had undergone ar-throscopic surgery on a knee the week before he died. An autopsy showed he suc-cumbed due to effects of a blood clot in his calf as a re-sult of the surgery.

“Jerome was so strong,”

‘I take it day by day,’ Teri Kersey saysPain still fresh for widow of Trail Blazers great Teri says. “He never wanted me to

know that something was bothering him. He never told me he was having any pain in his calf. I found out later that, on the day he passed, he told some friends, ‘My knee is fi ne, but my calf is killing me.’ He never told me that.”

The Kerseys had plans to go to din-ner to celebrate Maddie’s birthday that night.

“That afternoon, we were sitting on the couch, snuggling up,” Teri says. “He was drinking a beer and we

were watching basketball. He said, ‘My knee is bugging me, but it’s Mad-die’s birthday, so let’s go.’

“He walked up the stairs. I was still downstairs and he started calling for me. I ran up there and he said, ‘I’m having a hard time breathing.’”

Teri yelled for Maddie, who called 9-1-1. Within an hour, Jerome was gone.

Through most of her 62 years, golf and Marcia Fisher have walked a path of harmony.

Since she fi rst picked up a club as a youth through the beginning of her golden years, the Canby resident has played the game well, and it has been good to her.

So it’s no surprise that Fish-er — less than a year after a left knee replacement — will tee it up in a July 14 sectional qualifi er at Portland Golf Club with the intention of gaining a bid to the 115th U.S. Women’s Amateur Aug. 15-21 at PGC.

“The tournament is amaz-ing,” Fisher said Monday dur-ing a Women’s Am media event. “This is a phenomenal venue. The course is already in magnifi cent shape. By July

and August, it will be that much better. It’ll be fun to watch, be-cause the women are spectacular players.”

Fisher’s name is syn-onymous to women’s golf in the state.

“Marcia Fisher is an in-

stitution,” said Ed Ellis, a past PGC president now serving as co-chair for the U.S. Women’s Am. “She has played forever. With all the events she has won, her resume is historic. And she still can play.”

The resume for the Pacifi c Northwest Golf Association Hall-of-Famer includes a pair of U.S. Women’s Ams — the fi rst at Waverley Country Club
