he swoosh, swoosh of paddles slicing through
the water is just part of the Willamette River’s
chorus one recent Thursday evening.
It happens to be Thursday, July 3, and the
clamor of Portland’s Safeway
Waterfront Blues Festival fades
quickly as the Castaways glide
upriver.
In between the caller’s commands, an eagle cries out from the
trees on the back side of Ross Island and everyone stops to listen
and try to spot it.
They see a man walking through
the foliage on Ross Island and joke
about Bigfoot. They wave to other
boaters, kayakers and paddle
boarders, and take delight in passing under the Tillikum Crossing,
which they watched being built
from Day One.
“You really get hooked,” says
team captain Darrell Hames, 55, a Southeast Portland
caterer by day who’s been dragon boating since 2004.
“You go out in the evening in the fall and winter, see the
lights of the buildings reflecting on the river. The water
is glass smooth. It’s magical.”
The Castaways are part of Portland’s burgeoning
subculture of dragon-boat paddlers that compete in a
race circuit across the United States and Canada every spring and summer and practice year-round, far
beyond the Rose Festival season.
What started with one boat from Kaohsiung, Taiwan,
coming to the U.S. in 1986 has led to Portland becoming
a mecca for dragon boating along the West Coast.
The sport also is popular on the East Coast, in

Dragon boats: All ages paddle on teams
■ From page 1
Hawaii, Asia and elsewhere
around the globe — anywhere
there’s a body of water.
In 1989, the Portland-Kaohsiung Sister City Association organized what’s now the annual
Portland Rose Festival Dragon
Boat Race, which attracts thousands of paddlers and spectators to the waterfront every
June. Up next is the annual
Portland Dragon Boat Festival,
set for Sept. 6 and 7 at Gov. Tom
McCall Waterfront Park.
Now in its 12th year, the festival started with 12 teams and
grew to 85 teams from around
the world last year. This year,
65 are set to attend, since a big
international race is happening
the same weekend.
It’s an idyllic lifestyle for
thousands of dragon boaters
who paddle as much for the social aspect as for the fitness
benefits and adrenaline rush
from competition.
“I’m probably
more of a (dragon
boat) addict than
a nyb o dy e l s e
you’ll ever meet,”
says Ken Polnicky, 51, an engineer who lives in
the West Hills and
has been paddling
since 2003.
At one time, he
says, he calculated that he was spending about
20 hours per week, between
practicing, training and coaching for the Paddles of Fury as
well as recruiting, fundraising
and organizing event logistics.
Like Hood to Coast or Cycle
Oregon, dragon boating is a way
of life that lives and dies by the
strength of the team, paddlers
say. “You have to have what you
call the eye of the tiger: the desire to improve, get better, work
really hard,” Polnicky says. “It’s
sort of fun to face those challenges as a group, fail or succeed as a group.”
Rose Festival dragon boat
teams use the colorful “Kaohsiung” boats, with the decorative
Chinese dragon head and tail.
Most other Portland teams race
without the head and tail in
longer and sleeker “Six-Sixteen” fiberglass boats, made in
Canada. Paddles are wood or
carbon fiber.
If you haven’t seen dragon
boating in action, it’s part art,
part science. There are seats
for 20 paddlers, who face frontward and drive the boat forward by pulling through the
water at the same time.
They follow commands of the
caller, who stands facing them
at the front of the boat, calling
out their series (combinations
of 20 strokes), setting the pace,
letting them know when to rest
or change positions, and firing
their teammates up.
The other key team position is
the steersperson, who keeps the
dragon boat on course, controlling it with an oar rigged at the
rear of the boat.
Races are quick,
500 meters.

In the past 25 years, Portland’s scene has grown to boast
about 54 teams, both womens

every year.
The teams belong to one of
two nonprofit paddling clubs,
DragonSports USA and Wasabi
Paddling Club. Both clubs own
large fleets of dragon boats (as
well as outrigger canoes) that
they rent to teams, and support
the teams with recruitment,
coaching support and other efforts. Some of the outrigger
teams race along the Pacific circuit, up to Seattle; this weekend
they’ll be at the Gorge Games.

lthough Oregon Republican Rep. Greg
Walden is heavily favored to win re-election in November, his Democratic opponent is trying to
generate some enthusiasm for
her long-shot 2nd District bid.
Aelea Christofferson has
just released her first Web ad
stressing her support for expanding health care benefits.
The ad also takes a shot at
Walden, accusing him of
spending too much time traveling the country to raise
money for other Republican
candidates as chairman of the
National Republican Congressional Committee.
Christofferson undercut
that a message a bit, though,
by traveling to Detroit this
week to speak at the annual
gathering of Netroots Nation.
Although officially a coalition
of progressive-minded organi-
zations, Netroots Nation
clearly supports Democrats.

Oregon U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley is walking a political tightrope these days.
On one hand, the Democratic candidate is attacking
the influence of big money in
politics, enlisting the support
of progressive favorite, U.S.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren. In a

On the other
hand, Merkley
also is bragging
about how much money he’s rolling in. In a July 8
email to supporters, Merkley
boasts that he’s raised $1.8
million in the past three
months alone and currently
has $3.5 million in the bank.
He says most of the

Thousands of Oregon taxpayers have tax refund money
awaiting them, but they have to
cash their checks soon. The Oregon Department of Revenue
has mailed letters to about
2,000 taxpayers in possession of
refund checks that haven’t
been cashed as a reminder to
redeem the checks prior to October.
Checks are considered void
after two years and are then
sent to the Department of State
Lands. Last year, Oregon taxpayers did not cash refund
checks worth about $1.9 million.

Pesky squirrels give
power grid a shock
When the power goes out on
a hot day, most people assume
overuse of air conditioning is to
blame.
But from June 12 through July 7, four substation outages on
the Westside and in North Portland were caused by adorably
nimble, fluffy-tailed and unintentionally suicidal squirrels.
All four outages were in Portland General Electric’s territory
and one — the Oak Hills substation at Northwest Cornell Road
and Twin Oaks Drive in Beaverton — was hit twice. By different
squirrels, of course.
“This is clearly an unusual
convergence of squirrel activity,” said Steve Corson, spokesman for PGE. “We’d like to
have a break from squirrels for
awhile.”
Here’s the run-down of PGE’s
squirrel-related outages in re-
cent weeks, affecting tens of
thousands of customers. On
June 12, squirrels blew out the
Six Corners Substation, affecting 10,400 customers in Sherwood and Tualatin.
On July 2, the Northwest
Cornell and Twin Oaks substation was hit, affecting 10,000
customers in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Cedar Mill and Bethany.
On July 6, more than 8,000 customers were affected in Kenton, Arbor Lodge and St. Johns
areas. On July 7, Northwest
Cornell and Twin Oaks was hit
again, affecting more than 8,000
Beaverton-area customers.
The outages left many customers in the affected areas
wondering how sweet-faced
squirrels could cause so much
damage.
“It’s not all that unusual to
have wildlife that does damage,” Corson said. “But some
years, there’s more squirrel activity than others.
“Normally, vegetation and
tree limbs are more of a problem,” he added. “But last year
was the first in recent memory
that squirrels accounted for 18
percent of outages and vegetation only 17 percent.”

City removes barrier
to ex-offenders
The city of Portland has removed language from its employment applications that requires some applicants to sign
a criminal history statement.
Questions about criminal back-
ground, if relevant to a position, would be asked in the hiring process.
City officials said the statements could be a barrier to
some ex-offenders, preventing
them from working for the city.
“This removes a barrier to
employment with the city,
which will attract a more diverse pool of applicants to city
jobs, one step in addressing the
collective impact of crime,”
says Mayor Charlie Hales.
Portland joins more than 60
U.S. jurisdictions, including
Multnomah County, in removing the barrier to employment
for ex-offenders.

Some gains made
Nearly all Portland-area hospitals during the past three
years have joined in a Partnership for Patients effort to reduce medical errors, Waldo
says. As a result, according to
Waldo, Oregon hospitals have
made major gains. Surgical site
infections among the 33 Oregon
hospitals in Partnership for Patients have dropped 55 percent.
Central line infections have
been lowered 40 percent. Ventilator-associated pneumonia
has been reduced 80 percent,
according to Waldo.
Ironically, even those improvements might not keep Oregon hospitals from incurring
penalties. The Medicare program is structured so that hospitals that rank in the bottom
25 percent nationally will get
penalized, regardless of their
actual rates of infection and
other problems. Experts say
hospitals all over the country
have been working to keep
from ending up in the bottom 25
percent.
“That’s the complaint of the
industry,” says Jordan Rau, a
researcher/writer for Kaiser
Health News. “It’s an arbitrary
cutoff, and hospitals can be improving significantly yet still be
penalized. Even if your rate is
going down, if everyone else’s

And the penalties are working, Matsui says. Hospital readmissions are dropping since
those fines began. The penalty
program reverses the incentives in traditional fee-for-service payments, in which hospitals were basically rewarded
for creating more need for
health services as Medicare
paid more bills.
“The big change here is a
pretty seismic shift in the way
hospitals think about how to
treat their patients,” Matsui
says. “It’s moving away from
performing more services to
thinking about this quality
component.”
But Erica Mobley, spokeswoman for The Leapfrog
Group, a Washington, D.C.based patient safety nonprofit,
says not all hospitals are putting maximum effort into better patient care as a way to
avoid Medicare penalties.
“A lot of hospital spending is
more on trying to change the
rules than they are trying to
get better,” Mobley says. Hospital lobbyists, she says, have
been working hard to alter the
Medicare penalty programs.
Hospital penalties will increase in the years ahead, from
1 percent of Medicare payments this year to 2 percent of
payments next year. And Mobley says that’s a good thing.
“There needs to be more in
order to get hospitals to make
some serious improvements,”
she says.
The penalties will have real
impact, Mobley says, when consumers, not hospitals, start to
take them seriously.
“We would like to see consumers looking at this data and saying, ‘I don’t want to go to this
hospital anymore,’” she says.
“Only when hospitals are faced
with that kind of financial risk
are they really going to put effort
into making improvements.”
Hales and Novick hope to
raise around $50 million a year
for maintenance and safety
projects from the fee. They
want the revenue to be raised
evenly between residential
properties and non-residential
properties, including businesses, governments, and nonprofit
organizations, including
churches. They want the City
Council to vote on the proposal
on Nov. 12.
Two new working groups appointed by Hales and Novick to
consider alternatives to the
non-residential fee held their
first meetings this week. One is
focused on the business fee.
The other is considering the fee
on governments, nonprofits and
low-income families.
The two work groups were
appointed after businesses and
nonprofit organizations questioned the proposed method of
determining the transportation
user fees. The calculations were
challenged as unfairly penalizing small businesses, among
other things.
There is no working group
dedicated exclusively to property owners who do not qualify for
low-income discounts. Hales and
Novick have reached agreement
with City Commissioner Amanda Fritz on a fee that phases into
a maximum of $12 a month during three years, and that has discounts for low-income households, including those living in
multifamily buildings.
Sanderson says many other
Portlanders will not be able to afford the residential fee, however.
“There are a lot of Portlanders who won’t qualify for a lowincome discount whose budgets
are tight enough to make this
additional tax devastating,”
says Sanderson.
Devastating taxes
Emotions are rising as
Mayor Charlie Hales and
Commissioner Steve Novick
work to nudge their proposed street fee forward.
An opponent to the fee has
filed petitions to recall Hales
and Novick with the city auditor’s office. Ray Horton, a
Southeast Portland resident,
announced his intention to file
the petitions last week on a
Facebook page opposed to the
fee: Stop Portland Street Fee.
“There’s a serious problem
with the way the city government, particularly Hales and
Novick, are approaching taking
money from the people without
listening to the people,” says
Horton, who voted for both of
the city officials.
Meanwhile, an important advisory committee appointed by
Hales and Novick failed to immediately reach agreement on
the terms — or even need — for
the fee at its first meeting Monday afternoon.
Members of the committee,
who are charged with considering how the fee should be applied to businesses, could not
agree on whether the Portland
Bureau of Transportation is
wisely spending its existing
budget, how much additional
money is needed to maintain
and improve city roads, and
where it should come from.
Despite widespread public
criticism of the proposed fee,
Horton faces an uphill battle.
He must collect nearly 35,000
valid signatures from registered Portland voters on each
petition by early October. And
not everyone who frequents the
Facebook page — which has
nearly 2,000 “likes” — agrees
with the proposed recall, according to co-founder Ann
Sanderson.
“Our page contains ideas
from many different Portlanders who are passionately opposed to this tax and facilitates
many conversations about how
to achieve our goals,” says
Sanderson, who owns the
Odango! Hair Studio.
Novick responded during the
weekend to news of the recall
petitions, saying he and Hales
are “morally compelled” to find
more money to better maintain
the city’s streets, and asked
Portlanders to offer their ideas.
“We will keep on explaining

Oregon won’t smile on dental therapists
Little effort made to
fill dental services gap
despite high demand
By PETER KORN
The Tribune
A new national study promotes the efficiency of dental therapists in delivering
care to underserved populations, just as the possibility
of dental therapists operating in Oregon appears more
remote than ever.
Oregon for years has had
one of the nation’s worst records for providing dental care.
More than half of children on
the Oregon Health Plan, in one
study, received no dental care
in the course of a year. Another
study found that fewer than
one in five elderly Oregonians
in long-term care saw a dentist.
Experts say oral disease can
contribute to a host of maladies, including heart disease,
and dental pain is the No. 1
cause of children missing
school.
The Washington, D.C.-based
Pew Charitable Trusts have
been pushing dental therapists
as part of the answer. Dental
therapists, currently practicing
in Minnesota and Alaska and
soon coming to Maine, are the
dental equivalent of nurse
practitioners, who are able to
perform some, but not all of a
physician’s treatments and often are willing to work in areas
where doctors are scarce.
In 2011 the Oregon Legislature adopted a bill authorizing
pilot projects to explore the
possibilities for training and
using dental therapists. And
last year, the Legislature authorized $100,000 for a staffing
position at the Oregon Health
Authority to oversee dental pilot projects.
Nevertheless, nobody in Oregon is currently pursuing a
dental therapist pilot project,
according to state officials. Of-
ficials at the state’s only dental
school, at Oregon Health & Science University, say it won’t get
involved in training dental
therapists, and its dean says
training dental therapists is
not the best way to address the
gap in dental services around
the state.
Dental
therapists still
have not caught
on in Oregon as
an alternative
way to provide
care to lowincome people
and others in
need of
dentistry.
Therapists go untapped
Yet the evidence for dental
therapists as part of the solution is persuasive. The Pew
study found that a dental therapist hired by a safety net medical clinic in Minnesota conducted 1,756 patient visits for a population of people who were
mostly low-income immigrants.
Medicaid payments made to the
therapist exceeded the costs of
employing her by more than
$30,000, leading the clinic to hire
a second dental therapist.
In Alaska, two dental therapists provided care to 1,352 patients, many of whom previously had not had access to
dental care. Those two therapists generated $216,000 in net
revenue.
The Pew study noted that
millions of U.S. citizens simply
don’t have access to dental
care. Most dentists will not see
Medicaid patients because reimbursement is low. In addition, many people in rural areas and in low-income urban
neighborhoods do not have
dentists nearby.
Dental therapists are viewed
by Pew as a solution, once they
receive training at dental
schools to perform basic dental
care, including drilling and filling cavities. Supervised by a
dentist, they can actually boost
the dentist’s income as they
free the dentist to perform
more sophisticated and expensive surgeries, according to a
previous study.
State Sen. Laurie Monnes

board. The rate per $1,000 of assessed property value would increase from 54 cents to 89 cents.
Fifteen cents of the increase will
go towards operating costs of the
entire parks system. The extra 20
cents — about $25 million total —
will go toward debt payments on
new parks.
A public hearing to discuss the
ballot measure is 10 a.m. Thursday,
July 17, at the Red Soils campus.
In Assael’s view, hygienists,
even with extra training, cannot
perform the dental work needed
by thousands of Oregonians
who have no other access to
dental care. Scooping and filling
techniques, he says, are a solution for only about a third of patients with cavities. The rest

Assael says Oregon’s problem in providing dental care to

down to money.
He says dentists are making
significantly less money than
they did five years ago, from a
national average of about
$450,000 per year to just more
than $200,000 per year. That
helps explain why they won’t

among the three areas — approximately $8.33 million each.
Though Commissioner Jim Bernard agreed with Commissioner
Martha Schrader that the proposal didn’t feel ready to present

Smith in voting to move forward.
“It seems like this is getting

486188.071714
Clackamas County commissioners clashed July 8 in continuing discussions on ballot
language for an effort to raise
taxes to build new parks.
Commissioner Paul Savas has
been arguing passionately for
new parks to be built in “severely underserved” Oak Grove and
Jennings Lodge areas south of
Milwaukie. Savas said he has
failed to convince his fellow commissioners of the need there and
faulted them for not reading the
2004 North Clackamas Parks and
Recreation District Master Plan,
which he said outlines several
proposals that have not been followed through.
“This is a great document,”
Savas said. “If you read this,
you’ll have a greater understanding of the issue.”
Commissioner Tootie Smith
said she felt insulted. “Mr. Savas
if you’re trying to endear your
board members to vote your way,
I suggest you not insult us by
suggesting that we haven’t read
anything or suggesting that
you’re all-knowledgeable and
we’re not.”
The issue boils down to whether voters would approve a tax
rate hike of 35 cents per $1,000 of
assessed property value if they
didn’t see direct benefit to their
neighborhood.
The North Clackamas Parks
and Recreation District currently has 64 parks properties, but
only 11 in the area of most concern to Savas. Money to build
new parks tends to come from
fees charged to developers, but
that area was built two decades
ago — there’s no new development money coming in.
Commission Chair John Ludlow said he worries that if the
parks bond is weighted too heavily towards that area, no one else
in the district would vote for it.
“We can read all we want,”
Ludlow said. “Now we have to
find the money so that we can
live the dream.”
Money at root
that, he says, is due to a lack of
dentists in key areas, but the
greater reason is that many
people do not have dental insurance coverage and cannot
afford to pay out of their own
pockets. He says he observed
many people in Oregon nursing
homes with deteriorating
teeth, which can lead to other
health problems ranging from
weight loss to life-endangering
infections.
“You’ve got dental demand
down and dental disease is up,”
he says. “This is a perverse
state of affairs.”
Assael says he has seen dental therapists fill a great need
in Minnesota, primarily by
drilling and filling cavities for
much less than dentists charge.
Minnesota’s dental therapists,
in fact, are required to take on
low-income patients.
On average, according to
Assael, Minnesota dental
therapists are earning between $50,000 and $75,000 a
year. They don’t take business
away from dentists, he says,
because they’re mostly working with patients dentists
won’t take.
“Dental therapy is the greatest vehicle we’ve come up with
to deal with the problem of untreated tooth decay from the
standpoint of access,” Assael
says. “It’s great to teach people
how to scoop and fill, but it’s
not the treatment of dental (decay). To say that all of it is, is
silly.”
Assael’s take on why Oregon dentists oppose the authorization of dental therapists?
“They’re afraid to give them a
drill,” he says. “It’s a matter of
professional identity and
economics.”

A little advice for Oregon’s next governor
O
n Friday, July 18, Gov. John
Kitzhaber and state Rep. Dennis Richardson will square off
in the first gubernatorial debate of the year at the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association convention in
Salem.
The debate is guaranteed to feature
back-and-forth bickering and fingerpointing over the Cover Oregon website
debacle, as well as
discussion about the
relative competency
of each of the two
major party candidates. Along the way,
however, we hope the two men who
would be governor will directly address
those concerns that strike closest to the
hearts of all Oregonians.
It’s true that Kitzhaber’s failure to
oversee the Cover Oregon website adequately has opened a narrow opportunity for his Republican rival to halt the
GOP’s losing streak in statewide elections. Yet, Richardson must do more
than complain about Kitzhaber’s deficiencies as an administrator — he also
must offer credible suggestions for improving Oregon’s performance in the areas that people most value.
Fortunately for the candidates, what
Oregonians care about is easy to deci-

pher. The Oregon Values and Beliefs
Survey, conducted last year by DHM Research with the help of some of Oregon’s
most important institutions, provides
clear guidance.
The 9,000 people in Oregon who participated in that survey placed education at the top of the list. Kindergarten
through 12th grade were deemed to be
a higher priority than post-secondary
education, and Oregonians clearly were
concerned not only about the quality of
education, but also how the state was
going to fund it. When you consider
that one ranking by Education Week
places Oregon 40th among states for academic achievement, it’s clear that the
public is correct to demand continuing
improvement in this area.
The DHM research also shows that
post-secondary education is vital to a
broad spectrum of the population. Oregonians want greater accessibility and
affordable tuition. Oregon state Treasurer Ted Wheeler has been the most assertive public official in suggesting ways to
help Oregon residents afford the cost of
college. The two major-party candidates
for governor need to lay out their own
plans with the same specificity that
Wheeler has.

where Portland City Commissioner Amanda Fritz discussed her parks replacement
bond proposal (Fritz: Park bond

I fail to see the need to include Pioneer Courthouse

broader question, What kind of
“business model” are Portland
Parks & Recreation and the Pioneer Courthouse Square
Board of Trustees using, such
that Pioneer Courthouse
Square is in need of bond funds
to make repairs?
Why is the most programmed
Portland park space, with four
major tenants and permit fees
from more than 300 annual
events, not generating sufficient
revenue to pay for the needed replacement waterproof membrane under the bricks? If it was
known that the waterproof membrane had a 20-year design life,
then why weren’t funds set aside
from tenant revenue and permit
fees to pay for this needed repair? Why was this needed repair not programmed into the
public improvements needed
within the Downtown Waterfront Urban Renewal Area a decade ago?

surface is transportation, and the DHM
survey reveals a split between urban
and rural populations. Residents who
live along the Interstate 5 corridor are
more supportive of public transit projects, while rural residents place greater
value on road and highway construction.
The issue of maintaining, improving
and expanding Oregon’s transportation
infrastructure is one the state’s next governor cannot ignore. While there is a
need to find funding for big, expensive
projects in the Portland metro area, including mass transit, the attention paid
to Portland cannot come at the expense
of the rest of the state. Oregon’s rural areas and their economies depend on the
highway system as the only realistic link
for business and personal transportation.
The issue of how to fund transportation projects is more than just asphalt,
dollars and cents — it’s indicative of a
governor’s bigger responsibility.
Oregon’s governor must represent the
entire state, not just the areas with the
most votes. This state’s residents have
many common values and concerns —
including education, health care and
transportation — and the two leading
candidates for governor would do well to
directly address those very issues at every opportunity they have to debate.

gon residents is health care and healthy
living, but their concerns are much
broader than Cover Oregon, Oracle or
Obamacare. Rising to the top of the
health care list were wellness and personal responsibility. Oregonians advocated holding people accountable for
high-risk behaviors — such as smoking,
drug use or lack of exercise — through
higher insurance premiums.
The survey also revealed that in 2013
the public did, in fact, want major changes to the existing health care system.
Kitzhaber and Richardson certainly will
talk about the failed website, but the
public will want to hear Richardson describe how his approach to the larger issues of health care delivery and cost will
differ from Kitzhaber.
It was no surprise to learn from the
DHM survey that Oregonians are ardent
supporters of the environment, but they
also would like to see more robust economic growth. The survey revealed that
57 percent of Oregonians favored environmental protection at the risk of slowing economic growth — a majority to be
sure, but not a strong one. Oregonians
still need a much better economy for the
state to be able to invest money in services such as public education.
Another issue that rises quickly to the
T
he final tally for
the 2000 U.S. presidential election in Florida
was George W.
Bush, 2,912,790 votes, and Al
Gore, 2,912,253 votes — a difference of 537 votes.
Of course, everyone knows
that the presidential contest in
2000 went all the way to the Supreme Court, which refused to
stop the certification of the
election by Florida Secretary of
State Katherine Harris, and
that in turn gave Bush his electoral margin and victory.
Nearly every election observer agrees that Florida 2000
was a low point in the history
of American electoral democracy. Imagine how much worse
it would have been if, the day
after the election, hundreds of
thousands, if not millions, of
ballots nationwide had not
even been counted yet because
they were still winding their
way through the postal system.
In that 2010 election, control
of the U.S. Senate turned on
the outcome of a very small
number of competitive races.
One of the most interesting
was held in Alaska, where incumbent Lisa Murkowski was
fighting for her political life after being forced into a write-in
candidacy against the Tea Party-sponsored Joe Miller and
Scott McAdams.
It was very possible that control of the U.S. Senate, and the
future of Obama’s major fiscal
and social policies, would turn
on the Alaska Senate race. And
given the nature of the postal
system in Alaska, it also was
possible that it would be weeks
before we’d know the final outcome, as late-arriving postal
ballots were counted.
Eleven states and the District of Columbia count late-arriving vote-by-mail ballots, as
long as they have been postmarked by election day. Washington is among these states.
In California, a recently proposed bill goes further, requiring that ballots be counted if
they arrive by mail without a
postmark, as long as they are
signed and dated by the voter.
No such proposals have
emerged yet in Oregon, the national leader in voting by mail,
and my hopes are that they do
not.
It is unfortunate when a voter waits too long to cast a ballot or worse, through no fault
of their own, a ballot fails to be
delivered in a timely basis.
This is why county election administrators and the Oregon
secretary of state print prominent warnings on the ballot envelope about the due date, advertise heavily and establish
drop boxes located around the
county.
Oregon voters seem to understand this. It’s a little
known fact that Oregon is not
primarily a “vote-by-mail”
state, but a “vote-by-drop-box”
state. In the 2012 election, for
example, 53 percent of ballots
in Multnomah County were
hand-delivered to a drop box or
at the counter, or sent by fax.
In practice, the postmark
“deadline” actually works to
disenfranchise more voters
than the election day “dead-
line.” The Washington Policy
Center compared the percentage of late-arriving ballots in
the five largest Oregon and
Washington counties in November 2012, and more Washington than Oregon voters
missed the deadline. Oregon
has the stricter deadline, yet
turnout in Oregon is higher.
Allowing ballots to arrive after Election Day creates unnecessary administrative burdens.
It can sow confusion about
election results. And it relies
on the post office to apply consistent postmarks.
But, more importantly, the
“postmark” rule elevates the
individual interest in having
their ballot count above the
collective interest in determining the outcome of an election
fairly and efficiently.
The individual franchise is
important because it helps to
assure that political leaders
are responsive to the public
and lends legitimacy to the actions of political leaders.
Elections as a collective act,
however, are fundamentally
about allocating political power. Elections emerged in the
17th century, relatively late in
the history of human governance. They were seen as an
elitist institution in ancient
Athens. Winston Churchill famously described democracy
as “the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
We should work to assure
that every Oregonian and every American has ready access
to the ballot. This is why Oregon adopted vote by mail and
is why many states have moved
to hybrid election systems,
with election-day, vote-by-mail,
and early in-person balloting.
We should work to develop
new technologies that may allow for Internet voting in the
future.
But we also should try to
make sure that elections are
decided quickly, without unnecessary delay. If this requires voters to remember to
mail a ballot three days before
the election or deliver it by
hand to one of many ballot
drop-box locations, this is a
reasonable compromise.

Blue Lake closed
because of illnesses
Two families reported
symptoms after
swimming in lake
By CARI HACHMANN
Pamplin Media Group
The Multnomah County
Health Department is working with Blue Lake Regional
Park officials to investigate
reports of diarrheal illness
from people who visited the
lake the weekend of July 12
and 13, said county spokeswoman Julie SullivanSpringhetti.
Park officials closed the lake
to swimming Monday morning,
July 14, after two families reported symptoms of diarrhea,
vomiting, rash and cramps.
The Multnomah County
Health Department Communicable Disease program is trying to find out what the diarrheal illness is and whether it
can be traced to swimming in
the lake.
“Our initial impression is
that the illness is due to norovirus or a similar stomach virus,” said Deputy Health Officer Dr. Jennifer Vines.
According to health officials,
norovirus is a common cause
of vomiting and diarrhea,
which there is no treatment for.
Most people recover in 24 to 48
hours, but children and the elderly can suffer dehydration as
a complication.
“Anyone with these symptoms should be sure to drink
plenty of fluids and contact
their health care provider with
any concerns,” Vines added.
Sullivan-Springhetti said routine water samples taken earlier
this month at Blue Lake showed
low levels of E coli, but the water
is not tested for norovirus.
Park officials collected samples on Monday to check for E
coli in the water.
Health officials said outbreaks of both norovirus and E
coli have been associated with

her eternal rest on July 1, 2014.
She will be buried in Bismarck, North
Dakota on July 8 at Sunset Memorial
Gardens Cemetery next to her husband.
Olga was born June 29, 1916 in Santa Fe, Argentina
to parents Jacob and Caroline Stach, She married the
missionary called to her area, Rev. Fred Riedel, (who
actually confirmed her)
on February 8, 1934 near Las Breñas, Argentina,
They were soon called to a new mission at Macia Entre

The Riedels then moved back to the place of Fred’s
home and family, New Salem, ND. She worked with
him at numerous churches in North Dakota, starting a
church in Otter Creek, and later moving to Beulah. Here,
they adopted their son Fredrick. They also spent a
couple years in Jamestown, where Fredrick started
school.
In 1955, the family went back to South America for
a short time to do mission work in Venezuela. Olga
also lived with Pastor Fred in Minnesota, Northern
Idaho, and Washington State. She moved to Gresham.
Oregon after her husband’s passing in 1994.

Vincent A. Lowenberg was
born in Donnellson, Iowa Sept.
15, 1926 to Viola (Krehbiel) and
Herbert Lowenberg. He had one
sister, Elaine (Lowenberg) Harper
and 83 first cousins, some of
whom were double first cousins.
Vince loved his large family
and kept great correspondence
throughout the years.
Vince married Tyra Elisabeth
(Lisa) Lindahl Aug 26, 1961 at
Ekero Church on an island in Stockholm’s archipelago.
The church was built in 1106, and it stands close to
where Sweden’s king and queen live today. They
were married 52 years and have three children Karin,
Robert, and Kirsten, and six grandchildren.
Our dad grew up in Donnellson, where he sang in
the church choir, was on the high school basketball
team, and even played the clarinet in a Dixieland
jazz band. After high school Dad went to Iowa State
University for two years before signing up to serve
his country in the Navy during World War ll. After
the war, Dad returned to school, and graduated from
the University of Michigan. After graduation, Dad
moved to Boston and earned his MBA from Harvard
Business School.
While at Michigan, he sang with the Men’s Glee Club
(the oldest in the nation), and two months ago, the men
from the current Michigan Men’s Glee Club honored him
with a private concert on the front lawn of his home in
Lake Oswego. Approximately 20 years ago, Dad declined
an Honorary Doctorate to teach in the Department of
Economics with the University of Michigan.
Vince worked as an economist and consultant for
a number of companies including Stanford Research
Institute (SRI), the United Nations and USAID. Dad
travelled the world for SRI, and his longest assignments
allowed him to move his family to Sweden for a year, and
to Ethiopia for two years. Eventually, the family moved
to a small farm in Lake Oswego where Mom and Dad
lived for 40 years together. From that home base, Dad
accepted a twelve month assignment with the United
Nations in Zambia, and an eighteen month assignment
with the US State Department in Cairo, Egypt. Dad
was also a longtime member of the Bohemian Club in
San Francisco which allowed him longtime friendships
in business and life. He deeply enjoyed the “Grove” in
the summers, writing and performing music and plays
with the other members. The Redwoods were always
one of his favorite places to be.
The farm in Lake Oswego was our Dad’s big love.
He could spend hours in his amazing garden, pick fruit
from the orchard, or tend to the various animals we
had on the farm. He spent countless hours teaching
his children the value of hard work by example and
word, because he knew that hard work builds great
character. Our dad loved the adventure of life and had
a passion to see the world. In his 87 years he was able
to travel to more than 137 countries — and the family
accompanied him to 41 of them.
Of all of Dad’s accomplishments and adventures,
none compared to his love for the Lord. He was very
involved in The Gideons International, and would
take every opportunity to pass out a Bible. Wherever
he was traveling to, he would make sure he filled one
briefcase with Bibles in the language of the country he
was going to be in . . . even if it was communist Russia
(in the 1980s) or communist China.
Dad was a devoted husband, father, grandfather
and friend. We will miss him terribly. We are thankful
for all the amazing memories and adventures, and we
are exceptionally thankful that we will be together
again in Eternity. We love you Dad!
Services were held July 14 at Lake Oswego United

Daniel G. Clausen, of Tigard Oregon,

Daniel was born October 11, 1919 in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, the only son to Herbert Clausen and

Minnehaha Academy and received his high school
diploma from North High. In his youth he met his
future wife through church. Daniel married Edith

In 1954, Daniel and Edith moved to Portland and
were active members of the North Baptist Church as
well as the Burlingame Baptist Church. In 1976 they
moved to Tigard and became well-known parishioners
of Grace Point Church in Tigard, Oregon. Daniel
will be remembered for his compassionate love of
his family, as an excellent baritone vocalist with a
passion for music, and for his devotion to the Lord.
Survivors include Daniel’s children; son, Daniel
G. and Maggie Clausen; daughter Judith and Donald
Campbell; four grandchildren; Matthew Clausen,
Michelle Monroe, Jenifer M. McCourt, and Heather
B. Milligan; and ten great-grandchildren. Daniel was
preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Edith; and
his two sisters Eleanor and Ruby.

low or when the gasoline engine needs
help, an electric motor (or multiple motors) moves the vehicle. The Toyota Prius
is the most recognized hybrid, but they
exist in nearly every market sector from
the large Infiniti QX70 Hybrid to the highly refined Honda Accord and Kia Optima
Hybrids.
Plug-in hybrids go one step further by
initially charging the battery from an external power source such as a home
charging station. By using that battery
power rather than the onboard internal
combustion engine, some plug-in hybrid
drivers rarely burn any gasoline at all.
The Toyota Prius Plug-in and the Ford
“Energi” lineup are plug-in hybrids.
Although GM calls them “extended
range electric vehicles,” Chevrolet’s Volt
and Cadillac’s new ELR are plug-in hybrid
vehicles that rely mostly on electricity,
but can switch to a gasoline-powered
range extender for longer trips. BMW’s i3
can be equipped with such a range extender, or it can act as a pure batteryelectric vehicle.
Battery electric vehicles run purely on
electrical power. The Nissan Leaf was the
first mainstream electric car, but the marketplace is getting more crowded all the
time. With aggressive lease and purchase

f there is one certainty in future
transportation, it is that vehicles
will be more efficient and produce
fewer emissions.
However, the question remains:
How do we get there? That’s the topic of
OMSI’s Drive Revolution, a program on
Saturday, July 19, that will explore many
routes toward a sustainable future.
Visitors will “gain a deeper knowledge
of the sciences around transportation,
and what’s available,” says OMSI’s Melony Beaird. Displays will include bicycle
makers, utilities, and car sharing companies. Also, some of the newest vehicles
will be available for test drives.
There’s no single technology to move
us away from our oil-dependency, but
rather a blend of technologies tailored to
each transportation sector. Like tools in a
toolbox, different technologies apply best
to different transportation needs. Not all
the vehicles below will be on hand at
Drive Revolution, but a selection is scheduled to be.
Hybrids use an internal combustion
engine and regenerative brakes to charge
a battery pack. When power needs are

Several new and exciting electric cars

■ Annual event pits corporate citizens in sculpture building contest
IN THE CITY
O

getting dirty and
creating masterpieces for kids’ causes at
Yoshida’s Sand in the City.
For six hours on Friday,
July 18, from 9:30 a.m. to 4
p.m., corporate teams will be
building sand sculptures at
Pioneer Courthouse Square,
using the tools of the trade to
merge water and sand to
make a compact, claylike substance in forms, then carving
intricate sculptures. Team
members will be hustling under the guidance of sand
masters such as Lorie Gordon
and architects.
Gordon expects anxious
times at 5 hours, 55 minutes
into the process.
“I always laugh because
there’s always a team that
finishes five minutes before,”
she says. “You get so engrossed. You spend so long
on the sculpture, you get to
the bottom, and you lose
sense of detail. Most teams
find they end up scrapping
an element.”
Starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, July 19
and 20, the sculptures will be
on display and there’ll be many activities (Evergreen Aviation Carnival Tent), live music (Petty Fever, 90 Proof,
East on 14, Power Pep Band)
and more. Kids can build
their own castles in the giant
Sand Box or have their faces
painted.
It’s an all-volunteer event,
and funds raised will go to
kids in need in the Portland
metropolitan area.
This year’s 12 corporate
teams include Hoffman Construction, which has been involved from the start (19
years), and, of course, Yoshida Group. Teams train for six
weeks. “Some people have
natural talent,” Gordon says.
“It takes picking up the tools
and having someone show
you how to do it. We all have
a little kid in us.”

Robin Hood fest brings
revelry to the realm
Sherwood celebrates
60 years of medieval
and modern fun
By SUSAN DANZ
For Pamplin Media Group
This year’s 60th Robin
Hood Festival on Friday and
Saturday, July 18 and 19, in
Old Town Sherwood promises to be a special event.
The festival will honor those
who had a part in creating the
first official Robin Hood Festival in 1954, turning it into an
event that has become one of
the oldest community festivals
in Oregon.
Clearly inspired by the people’s hero of English folklore,
the first Robin Hood parade
was organized in 1946 by returning World War II veterans
who banded together to form a
group called Robin Hood and
his Merry Men.
In fall 1952, they launched a
harvest festival, which officially
became the Robin Hood Festival in July 1954. The Maid Marian Court began in the early
1950s, even before the first official fest. With a tradition that
links the generations, one of
this year’s Maid Marian court
members is the granddaughter
of the first Maid Marian.
In 1956, an unusual sporting
event came into being when
Sherwood challenged Notting-
ham, England, to an archery
match. Intensely competitive,
this is the 59th year of the international contest. A special
delegation of archers is traveling to Sherwood this year to be
welcomed by the city and
knighted on July 18.
In Old Town both days,
there’ll be music and revelry to
delight young and old. Both
medieval and modern, the festival features popular bands of
today on one stage, with creative family entertainment,
medieval music, swordplay and
dance on another. The Voices
for the Performing Arts Royal
Academy will perform “Beauty
and the Beast” on a third stage.
See FEST / Page 3
It’s the fourth annual event highlighting
one of our sweetest bounties, from marionberries to olallieberries. There’ll be vendors
and products, cooking demonstrations and
a children’s booth.

Velodrome Challenge
Local cycling enthusiasts and national/
international cyclists flock to Alpenrose
Dairy for the event, in its 16th year. The
three-day competition draws the largest velodrome crowd in North America, organizers say. The Alpenrose Velodrome is one of
only 25 bicycle racing tracks in the nation,
and popular because of its 43-degree angle,
meaning racers have to maintain speeds of
12.5 mph or faster.

its entertainment, food, displays and activities, including “Walk on the Wild Side” exotic
animal show and “Wool Busting!” (sheep riding) for kids.

More on ‘Backstrom’
The FOX-TV comedy crime
procedural series “Backstrom,”
being filmed in Vancouver, Brit-
ish Columbia, about a Portland
detective with Portland setting/
scenery/feel, which could air
midseason 2015, features Rainn
Wilson as main character Everett Backstrom, “a man with no
filter,” FOX promotion says. He
had been banished for five
years for offensive behavior,
and returned to the Portland
Police Bureau to lead the new
Special Crimes Unit. The Backstrom character, shown as “unhealthy, offensive, irascible —
albeit brilliant,” is based on
Swedish criminologist and novelist Leif G.W. Persson’s series
of books of the same name.
Hart Hanson is the creator and
executive director.

Rock en español
Los Seis Pistos hail from Los
Angeles via Mexico and have
taught us the following:
1. Tommy Ramone may have
died last week, but his band’s
influence never will.
2. Without Northern Ireland’s
Stiff Little Fingers there is no
Green Day, Blink 182 or Los
Seis Pistos.
3. Listening to rock ‘n’ roll in
a language other than English
makes you realize how universal its feel is and how stupid international conflicts are.
This band just released
“Punk Will Never Die,” which
showcases both their English
punk songs and their Spanish
ones. It’s worth the dinero.

OK corrals
You could argue that OK Go
is one of the most important
bands of the last 10 years, given
their 2006 video “Here It Goes
Again” (you know, the treadmills) inspired pretty much every artist on Earth to get on
YouTube, where thousands of
musicians have now developed
audiences.
But regardless of its viral
fame, OK Go would deserve acclaim for its power-pop-meetselectronic-dance music in any
era. Like Franz Ferdinand,
these Grammy-winning cats
know how to write a perfect
hook and arrange a tune that
wakes you up.

Lake Oswego chef a contender
on new ‘Food Fighters’ show
Home cooks compete
against pros to win
cash on new TV show
By BARB RANDALL
Pamplin Media Group
Presentations
The Portland Tribune Thursday, July 17, 2014
Elisha Joyce of Lake Oswego considers herself a pretty
good cook, and now she has
the opportunity to prove it on
national television.
Joyce is one of seven contestants on NBC’s new culinary
game show “Food Fighters,”
which premieres at 8 p.m. Tuesday on KGW Channel 8. It’s a
chance for top-notch amateur
cooks to put their signature dishes to the test against professional
chefs for the chance to win as
much as $100,000 per episode.
Joyce and her fellow contestants will square off against expert chefs who’ll be following the
same recipes. Completed dishes
will then be sampled by culinary
judges in a blind taste test called
“The Dinner Party.” If the home
cooks win, they’ll earn a cash
prize. If not, they still get to face
off against another culinary expert, climbing a money ladder
with increasing cash prizes for
every professional chef they
knock out.
Joyce, who was born in Guam,
learned to cook by watching her
grandmother. She carried her
love of good food into adult life,
she says, but it wasn’t until she
married that her culinary skills
blossomed.
“I wanted to make my husband happy,” she says. And
when the couple started having
children, she wanted to set a
good example of eating well for
them.
Joyce was an early advocate
for eating quinoa, and she created a nutritious granola bar-like
snack, “Smarty Bars,” with her
children in mind. She was such a
proponent of the grain that she
soon became known as the
“Quinoa Queen”; she now promotes the use of quinoa via her
blog, Rebel Grains, and also
sings its praises frequently as a
guest on the local television
show “AM Northwest.”
Joyce says she learned about
“Food Fighters” while surfing
the Internet.
“The announcement said
something like, ‘Do you think
you cook better than a profes-

sional chef?’ I said ‘Yes!’” Joyce
says. Her application must have
had all the right ingredients, because she was quickly chosen
for the eight-episode series.
Joyce says the signature dishes she chose to present on “Food
Fighters” are a reflection of who
she is and how she feeds her
family.
“We eat a wide variety of dishes,” she says. “So you get a flavor
for lots of different foods.” She
prepared a Guam-influenced
eggroll called lumpia, a mango
tart, a chicken-and-rice dish she
remembers her grandmother
making, fish tacos, and a salmonand-quinoa recipe.
“The story behind the fish tacos is that my husband and I had
them on our first date,” she says.
“I wanted to wow him at home
with them.”
Celebrity chef Lorena Garcia
will compete against Joyce in
Tuesday’s episode. Who will
come out on top? You’ll have to
tune in to find out. Make sure to
follow her progress online at
LakeOswegoReview.com, and
pick up a copy of The Lake Oswego Review on Thursdays for a
weekly recap.
Other contestants in the new
show include: Melissa Clinton, a
high school biology teacher from
Scotch Plains, N.J.; Jon Coombs,
a U.S. Army Operations NCO
from Lansdowne, Va.; Kena
Peay, an administrative assistant from Oakland, Calif; Cortney Anderson-Sanford, a homemaker from Seattle; Annie

Tamales wrapped in corn husk, common in northern Mexico, are some of the tasty items at Tamale Boy,
which has successfully evolved from food cart to brick-and-mortar restaurant on Northeast Dekum Street.
Tamale Boy’s grown up
and living on Dekum St.
T
he folks at Tamale Boy
say the secret ingredient to their food is love.
That may be the case,
but they also whip up a mean
guacamole.
This casual neighborhood spot
— which opened in March in
Northeast Portland’s up-andcoming Woodlawn neighborhood — prepares the guacamole
tableside.
A server comes out with the
ingredients piled high in a molcajete (Mexican mortar and
pestle) and makes conversation
as he grinds it to a perfect nottoo-creamy, not-too-chunky
consistency.
He’s happy to share the secret
ingredients with you, if you ask:
A little pumpkin seed, chile oil
and lime oil. Who knew?
At $8, it’s enough guacamole
for at least four people, but you’ll
want to ask for more chips.
The fresh-made tortilla chips
are sprinkled with a light seasoning, and the spicy verde salsa is
thick, tangy and tasty enough to
drink with a spoon.
The frijoles puercos (beans
with pork) is one of the most
buzzed about menu items,
hearty and lovingly cooked with
bacon, ham, chorizo, chopped
onion and chipotle. More chips,
please.
But no one comes for just the
starters.
The main event — the reason
Tamale Boy rocketed from food
cart fame to brick-and-mortar
restaurant in two short years —
is the tamales.
They don’t disappoint. The
menu is simple, with tamales
made in two styles, three variet-

ies each. All are gluten-free.
Oaxaqueños tamales ($4.50
each), from southern Mexico
and central and South America,
are wrapped in a banana leaf,
which imparts a sweet flavor to
the masa. Norteño tamales
($3.50 each) are wrapped in corn
husk, most common in northern
Mexico. Here they’re tied like
presents with ribbons at each
end.
The masa is smooth, fresh and
creamy, not grainy.
The rajas tamale (roasted
pasilla peppers, onion, corn and
queso fresco) is one of two solid
vegetarian options; the vegetales
(carrot, onion, spinach and zucchini) also is vegan.
The cochinita pibil (slowcooked pork) and tinga de pollo
(chicken with chipotle and adobo) are on the bland side, the
meat tender and juicy enough,
but nothing to knock your socks
off.
Instead, try the zesty chile

verde tamale (pork in tomatillo
sauce), or the sweetly satisfying
mole negro tamale (chicken with
traditional mole sauce). For even
more of the addictive stuff, order
the burrito ($6.50) and pay two
bucks extra to smother it with
mole sauce.
Yes, it’s a tamale place, but the
burrito is a standout. Choose
from a half-dozen meat or veggie
fillings, including the slowcooked carnitas, well-seasoned
and married with gently cooked
black beans and rice in a fresh
flour tortilla. It’s enormous, nearly big enough for two.
Tamale Boy’s restaurant
prices are the same as the food
cart’s. The owner, Jamie Soltero
Jr., didn’t see a need to raise prices. He still operates the food cart
at two different sites on Mondays, Thursdays and every other
Friday, a venture he took on in
2012 as an expansion of his catering company, which launched a
year earlier.
The restaurant’s half-dozen
seasonal specials show more sophistication, impressive for a
place you’d just expect to find
tamales. The alambre de camaron, $12, is a heavenly tapas plate
of shrimp, bacon, peppers, avocado, radish and cheese over a
bed of little corn tortillas that
took me to a happy place with
each bite.
The ceviche, $12, house-made
each morning, also is a mustorder this summer. Topped with
edible flowers, it’s full of fresh
shrimp, cucumber, red onion,
tomato, cilantro and hints of
lime. Tastes like poolside in
Mexico.
Two must-haves for any proper neighborhood spot — especially one with spicy food — are
ambience and alcohol. Tamale
Boy has both, boasting a huge
outdoor patio, perfect for kicking back with a Mexican beer or
one of a few season-inspired
cocktails. In July there was the
mouth-watering El Diablo, a
roasted habañero-infused tequila with mango puree, simple
syrup, lemon and lime juice and
a salted rim.
Inside, sit next to the impressive mural of Mayan goddess
Mayahuel, for which Soltero’s
catering company is named.
Between the food, price point
and aesthetic, Tamale Boy seems
to have done everything right.
It’s another Portland food cart
Cinderella story, with more sure
to follow.

The Portland Tribune Thursday, July 17, 2014
Barton: Leadership role nurtured
happen.”
Surprisingly, Vanterpool
said his goal for Barton this
summer is to display more
leadership.
“I want to see him continue
his growth as a leader,” the
Portland assistant says. “He
gets emotional. That mental
approach, as far as leadership,
is where he has to grow the
most.”
It’s hard to show leadership,
though, when you’re not on the
court. Barton played only 397
regular-season minutes last
season, less than half of the
time he got during his rookie
year.
Next season, Barton will be
in the final year of his contract,
playing for his future in Portland. He knows he needs to
make strides if he want to continue with the Blazers. The
first steps are being taken in
summer league.
“I’m trying to improve my
overall game,” Barton says.
“Try to make open shots. Try
to get other guys shots. My defense, rebounding. I’m just trying to show I’m a complete
player in every aspect of the
game.”
■ From page 10
says Barton, who has started
for Portland’s entry in the Las
Vegas Summer League. “It’s
not up to me. It’s up to the
coach and the organization. I
can’t put myself in the game.
“I can do anything I put my
mind to. I want to go out there
and contribute like I’ve shown
the last two years. I’ll go in next
season trying to fight for minutes. I’ll be the best teammate I
can be in practice and in the
games, but I want to play more
and get a larger role on the
team and try to make my NBA
future brighter.”
At times in his first two seasons with the Blazers, Barton,
23, has looked like a talent who
might develop into an NBA
starter. At times, he has looked
like an undisciplined player
better suited for streetball.
Barton was a little of both in
the Blazers’ first two LVSL
games, averaging 13.0 points
and 7.0 rebounds but making
only 9 of 26 shots from the field
with five turnovers.
Vanterpool offers mostly
plaudits for Barton, however.
“Will is doing a great job on
the floor,” Vanterpool says.
“His game speaks for itself.
TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO
Will Barton, Blazers swingman, is focusing on his mental approach
to the game and leadership skills as he attempts to improve his
overall game.
Guys love playing with him.
They know he’s unselfish. They
know when he’s handling the
ball a lot, maybe even overdribbling, that it’s not a selfish
thing. They know if they’re
open, he’ll get it to them. Guys
feel comfortable getting the
ball in his hands, because they
know he makes good things

Thunder:
Everyone
on team
‘wants it’
AFL, he believes that four defensive stops usually should be
enough to win a game.
“It’s really just getting stops,”
Sauk says. “As a defense, you
want to get about four stops a
game. The goal is to stop them,
and the more stops we get, the
better we’ll be able to score on
offense.”
Says Paige-Moss: “One stop
can be deadly. When you get two
and three stops, that’s when
you’re a championship-caliber
defense in any league. You can’t
always expect the offense to
score 60 or 70 points a game.
We’ve got to motivate the offense. If we have to win a game,
that’s what we’re going to do. As
a whole defense, that’s what we
have to do.”
Portland quarterback Kyle
Rowley says the Thunder defense often gives the offense —
which is averaging 45.1 points
per game — an additional
boost.
“We’ve got a good chemistry
on our team, so we’re always
feeding off guys who are making
big plays,” Rowley says. “It helps
us be excited.”
■ From page 10
“We know what we’re capable of.
We still need to work on the little things. Being a new team and
being young, it kind of gets into
our heads and knocks us off
what we’re here to do and that’s
to play football.”
Thunder linebacker Donte
Paige-Moss, 6-3, 270 and from
North Carolina, says that Portland’s success on defense
comes from the way the Thunder practice.
“Game day is the easy part,”
Paige-Moss says. “We try to always work and hold ourselves
accountable during practice.

Eggers: Jager fell in love with steeplechase
■ From page 10
“I wasn’t pissed, but it would
have been nice to get that,” Jager says. “I could have run a little
faster. That was the hardest
steeple I’ve ever run. We were
out about four to five seconds
faster through the first (kilometer) than I’ve ever gone out. I
led for about a lap and ran on
my own the last lap, well behind
Birech.
“To come away second and
getting that close to the American record, I was totally
pleased with that. The cherry
on top would have been getting
the record.”
Jager will get a few more opportunities this summer. He left
Tuesday for Monaco, where
he’ll run in a loaded steeplechase field on Friday.
“We’re undecided about his
schedule after that,” says Jager’s coach, Jerry Schumacher of
the Nike Oregon Project. “He’ll
stay in Europe to train for about
five weeks. Then there is a big
steeple in Brussels (on Sept. 5)
and maybe the Continental Cup
the following week in Morocco.”
Could Jager’s American record fall sometime during the
summer?
“I think so,” he says. “I’m
learning the event better. We’re
going to get in a few fast steeple
races. I’m a year older, a year
stronger. I’m healthy — knock
on wood.
“The Kenyans are good
enough to where most of the Diamond League races are being
won faster than my PR. If a
good race presents itself and I
don’t have to do too much work
on my own, I’m thinking it
should come.”
Asked for his thoughts on a
record attempt, Schumacher
shrugs.
“It’s always a tough question,” he says. “Evan is running
at such a high level already. To
improve off a high level is not
easy to do. But there’s more
time to cut (from Jager’s steeplechase PR), for sure.
“But I don’t think his summer will be just about the steeple. He ran the 5,000 in 13:02 last
year, and he could PR there in
the right race. And maybe he’ll
get into a fast 1,500 as well.”
What is most amazing is how
far Jager has come in such a
short time. An accomplished
distance runner who has a mile
PR of 3:53.33 and made the U.S.
World Championships team at
5,000 in 2009, Jager had never
tried a steeplechase until 2012,
running 8:26.14 at the Mt. SAC
Relays in Walnut, Calif. Three
months later, he was the American record-holder.
“I fell in love with the event
right away,” he says.
“Evan’s a natural athlete to
begin with,” Schumacher says.
“His running style and mechan-

ics are conducive to the steeplechase. After we got into it, it
was pretty obvious he’d be
good at it.”
“With Evan, it’s a doubleedged sword,” says Huling, who
joined the NOP in 2013. “He’s a
beautiful hurdler, and he has
the flat chops to back it up.”
Jager had followed Schumacher to Portland when he
joined Alberto Salazar to coach
runners with NOP in 2008. Jager had just finished a promising
freshman year under Schumacher at Wisconsin.
“Jerry had been the reason I
went there,” Jager says. “When
he left, I didn’t know what to
do. I thought about staying
there, or transferring to another
school. When the
option came about
to come out here
and join him, that
was what I wanted to do the most.
“I was pretty
confident had I
finished out my
collegiate career, I
was going to join
his group out
here. Being able
to stay with him through the
next three years, I said, ‘Why
not?’”
While training under Schumacher and running professionally under the Nike umbrella,
Jager has progressed to within
about a term of earning a degree at Portland State in health
studies.
And he has become the premier steeplechaser in the country, gaining the third of a string
of U.S. titles with a win in the
searing heat of Sacramento last
month.
“I’m pumped about it,” Jager
says. “I’m going to try to keep
the streak going as long as I
can. You have to be happy when
you step onto the track and call
yourself a national champion.”
It almost didn’t happen.
Schumacher had mentioned
the steeplechase not long after
they arrived together in Portland. But in 2010, Jager sustained a navicular bone fracture that laid him up for the
good part of two years.
“I was a little uncertain
about it, because of the extra
pressure and torque (the steeplechase) puts on the foot,”
Schumacher says. “They shoot
horses when they break it,
right? There’s just so much
more pressure and torque on
your feet. You have to be careful with it.
“As 2011 ended and Evan was
healthy, we talked about it
again and decided to give it a
shot. But it has all happened
much faster than we ever
anticipated.”
With only two steeplechases
under his belt, Jager won the
2012 Olympic trials race going
away in 8:17.40. Weeks later, he
took down Daniel Lincoln’s
American record by more than
two seconds in 8:06.81.
“I didn’t realize at the time
how crazy that was,” Jager
says. “I was on such a high,
coming off the U.S. trials. I
knew I was really fit. I thought
I might have had a chance to
run around 8:10 or 8:08. It was
exciting and gave me a huge
amount of confidence going into the London Olympics.”
Jager ran well at London,
finishing behind four Africans
and runner-up Mahiedine
Mekhissi-Benabbad of France.
Jager took the lead with three
laps to go and remained in
the lead pack until 300 meters
remained.
“I was bummed initially,” he
says. “I’d run so well at Monaco
that I’d kind of given myself a

Thunder’s reach
Strong defense built
during practice lifts
Arena team on field
By STEPHEN ALEXANDER
The Tribune
In a game that is based on
offense, the Portland Thunder are close to making the
Arena Football League playoffs primarily on the strength
of their defense.
The Thunder (5-11) are
two games
ahead of
their fellow
AFL expansion team,
the Los Angeles KISS
(3-13), in the
PAIGE-MOSS
race to be
one of the
top four National Conference
teams — a finish that would
earn a trip to the postseason.
With two regular-season
games remaining, the KISS still
have hope, but Portland would
have to lose its last two games
and Los Angeles would have to
close with two victories (the
KISS have the tiebreaker).
Here are the key games to go:
“One stop can be deadly.
When you get two and
three stops, that’s when
you’re a championshipcaliber defense in any
league.”
— Donte Paige-Moss, Thunder linebacker
July 19 — San Antonio (1-15) at
Los Angeles; July 20 — Portland
at Arizona (14-2); July 26, the final day of the regular season
— L.A. at Jacksonville (6-9), and
Spokane (9-7) at Portland.
The Thunder have allowed
just 53.4 points per game, a
good stat by Arena standards.
The Portland team also has intercepted 29 passes and recovered 18 fumbles.
“We’re really flying around
looking to make things happen,” says defensive back Bryce
Peila, a 5-11, 205-pounder from
Western Oregon University.
Peila and his defensive teammates were strong out of the
gate this season, and they
haven’t let up, although he says
they aren’t satisfied.
“We continue to work every
day as a defense,” Peila says.
