H O U S E SPE AKE R
By STEVE LAW
The Tribune
Squeaky wheels are getting
more grease in Portland’s
South Waterfront area, and it
should result in more affordable housing amid the posh
condo and apartment towers.
For years, city officials have
promised a mix of income ranges while devoting huge sums of
urban renewal money to create
an entirely new community
along the Willamette River,
known for its landmark aerial
tramway. But the city has managed to deliver only one 209-unit
affordable apartment project —
579 units short of its official goal.
South Waterfront shouldn’t
be “an enclave for the wealthy”
given all the public investment,
says Ruth Adkins, policy director for Oregon Opportunity Network, a coalition of affordable
housing advocates.
Adkins and other activists are
tired of unfulfilled promises, and
they fear available building sites
are getting tied up and priced
too high. They also are pressing
the Portland Development Commission to negotiate for more
affordable housing in a pending
development agreement with
the Zidell family, which owns 30
acres of undeveloped land in the
South Waterfront area.
In recent days, the activists
have secured new backing for affordable housing from city leaders and the PDC.
Their biggest victory: a tentative city commitment to build at
least 200 units for very low-income people, likely at the PDC’s
2-acre property on 2095 S.W.
River Parkway, across the street
from the Marriott Residence
Inn.

House Speaker Tina Kotek, a North Portland Democrat, says she’ll have
more clout in the 2015 session, now that she has more experience
running the chamber.

Tina Kotek returns for second term
when Legislature convenes on Feb. 2
By PETER WONG
Salem Bureau
Having steered the Oregon
House of Representatives
through one two-year cycle,
Rep. Tina Kotek of Portland is
back for another term as its
speaker.
She returns with a larger
Democratic majority, a gain of
one on Nov. 4 for a total of 35. But
she also generated enough goodwill during her current tenure
that the 25 Republicans chose
not to offer their own candidate
for speaker on the opening day of
the session Jan. 12. It was a rare,
but not unprecedented gesture
by the minority party.
The 2015 session starts its 160day run Feb. 2.
Even though Kotek is completing a decade in the House, and
was a human services lobbyist
for nearly a decade beforehand,
she still has the least experience
of the three principal actors in
this legislative session. Democrat Peter Courtney of Salem,
the Legislature’s senior member
at 30 years, is in his 13th year as
Senate president. Democrat
John Kitzhaber of Portland, who
was Senate president for eight of
his 14 years in the Legislature, is
in his 13th year as governor.
“But I am not the new kid on
the block anymore, and I think
that helps,” Kotek said at an editorial board meeting with the
Portland Tribune. “Knowing
that this is my second time
around, I think I may have more
parity with a Senate president
who has been there forever and
a governor in his fourth term.”
Kotek will be the first twoterm speaker in a decade, and
the first Democrat to repeat
since Vera Katz’s three-term run
in the 1980s.
As speaker, Kotek decides
who sits on the committees that
do most of the House’s work on
bills and budgets, who will lead
them, which bills they are assigned — and how legislation
flows through the chamber.
She will need to draw on that
experience as the House deals
with the state budget and transportation projects — financing
for the latter will require some
Republican support — as well as
a potential minimum-wage increase, paid sick-leave requirement, and other issues likely to
split the parties.
“On most issues, we have a lot
of bipartisan support, and I hope
we can continue that,” she says.
“Other issues stem from my belief that when you work hard,
you should actually be able to
move ahead.”
Although Kotek is the first lesbian in the nation to lead a state
legislative chamber, she has not
defined herself solely on issues
affecting sexual minorities. She
has emphasized education,
health care, housing and other
economic issues during her
years working in Salem.
“Not everyone is finding success in our economic recovery,”
she said after the Nov. 4 election.
A 2011 news account describes
her as combining “laser-focused

A 21-story apartment building designed by SkyLab Architecture is under construction south of the Eastside Exchange in the Burnside
Bridgehead project area.
■ Beam developer credits delays for better design
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
Portland is getting the Burnside
Bridgehead project city leaders
once rejected, and everyone is happy about it — especially Brad Malsin, the owner of Beam Development.
His proposal for the five-block site at
the northeast end of the Burnside
Bridge was turned down by the Portland Development Commission in 2006.
Now, he already has redeveloped one
building on the site and is deeply involved in the rest of the work.
Malsin is not angry he was passed
over for the original project. In fact,
Malsin believes the delay — caused by
the Great Recession that brought almost all major construction work to an
end for years — resulted in an improved version.
“It’s definitely better. We know a lot
more now about how the inner east
side needs to develop,” says Malsin,
who took over the project after the
original developer selected by the PDC
bailed out when the economy tanked.
Today, more than 15 years after the
PDC began purchasing the blocks for
more than $11 million, construction is
finally underway on the first two new
buildings on the 4-acre site. Heavy
equipment has reconfigured the landscape on two of the blocks. A tall construction crane hovers over one of
them, where the concrete foundation is
being framed.
The current work follows the renovation of a former Sears warehouse on
the site into the Eastside Exchange, a
four-story building with flexible workspaces for design, tech and light manufacturing firms. That project was undertaken by Beam Development over
the past few years. It is now fully occupied.
The two buildings now under construction — one to the east and the
BACK IN THE GAME
— SEE SPORTS, PAGE B1
other to the south of the Eastside Exchange — are both apartment buildings with retail. A new office building
is being planned for another block.
The mix of buildings is similar to
what Malsin first proposed to the Portland Development Commission in 2004.
At the time, Malsin was the underdog
in a competition between two much
larger companies to redevelop the
property.

Burnside: Plans for big-box store scrapped
■ From page 1
One was Opus Northwest,
the local arm of a large development company with many
successful projects. The other
was Gerding/Edlen, a local
company with a growing number of projects around the
world. Both included a big-box
store as the anchor tenant.
In contrast, Malsin had mostly only redeveloped a local
warehouse into the Eastbank
Commerce Center, an office
building and restaurant space
at 1001 S.E. Water Ave. His proposal envisioned local businesses as the retail component.
Malsin had a lot of support

business leaders in the inner

east side. They thought the
smaller scale of his project
was more compatible with the
surrounding area, and they
also feared a big-box store
would increase congestion and
drive nearby small businesses
under.
After months of hearings,
the PDC chose Opus, however,
in part because the company
said it had enough money in
the bank to guarantee the project. But when the recession hit,
Opus withdrew and the project
foundered for years.
The PDC eventually approached Malsin in 2008 to see
if he was willing to take over
the project. At the time, the
PDC wanted to tear down the
Sears warehouse, which had
been remodeled into the Convention Plaza office building.
Malsin agreed to craft a framework plan for the blocks and
eventually decided the former
warehouse was worth saving.
By then Malsin was well on his
way toward redeveloping a former grain mill into the Olympic Mills Commerce Center at
107 S.E. Washington St.
“Originally, I wanted to tear
the Convention Plaza down to
create parking I thought the
(Burnside Bridgehead) project
needed. But over the years, I
learned the people who want
to work in the district support
bikes and transit. That made
saving the building viable, and
it was the key to the new project,” Malsin says.
Much has changed over the
past 10 or so years. Back then,
the city council thought a bigbox store was necessary to revitalize the neighborhood by
attracting suburban shoppers.
Now the inner east side already is one of the fastest
growing parts of the city. Several new apartment buildings
have been built in the area. Under construction is the massive Hassalo on Eight residential development to the north,
and a large apartment building is planned on the so-called
Goat Blocks to the east.
The two new buildings underway at the Burnside
Bridgehead are a 21-story Skylab Architecture-designed
apartment building and a
10-story mixed-use project by
Beam Development, Urban Development + Partners, and
Works Partnership Architecture. Currently being considered is an office building
planned by Guerrilla Development called The Dumbbell because of its design.
Kotek: Supports lower-cost housing, higher wages
■ From page 1
discipline with strong political
instincts.”
Previous work
Kotek was elected to the District 44 seat in 2006, after working
as public policy advocate for the
Oregon Food Bank and policy director for Children First for Oregon — and failing in a bid for the
House from an adjoining district
two years earlier.
District 44 covers North Portland and part of Northeast Portland.
“She had enough experience
in this building to know how
things worked and who is effective around here,” says Rep. Brian Clem of Salem, also a member
of the 2006 class of eight that enabled Democrats to become the
majority party in the House for
the first time in 16 years.
In her first term, Kotek led the
state effort to establish domestic
partnerships for same-sex couples, seven years before a federal
judge ruled they were entitled to
full marriage rights under the
U.S. Constitution.
In her second and third terms,
she led the Legislature’s human
services budget subcommittee,
where she worked through consolidation of early-childhood programs under a single Early
Learning Council.
Paired on the subcommittee in
2011 with then-Rep. Tim Freeman of Roseburg — because Republicans shared power with
Democrats in an evenly split
House — she helped devise the
legislative framework that made
possible the launching of coordinated-care organizations to deliver health services to low-income Oregonians. Sixteen such
organizations have improved
care to Oregon Health Plan recipients and restrained cost increases.
Hours after the 2011 session
ended, Democrats ousted Dave
Hunt of Gladstone and made
Kotek their leader. After Democrats gained four seats in 2012 to
regain a majority, Kotek became
speaker.
She was the fifth woman in
that position in Oregon.
Despite an often-divided Democratic caucus, Kotek helped
steer approval of the 2013 specialsession “grand bargain” that
raised some taxes and cut others,
and pared public pension cost-ofliving increases while boosting
spending on schools and social
services.
While still less than Kotek
wanted, the state school fund
that supports the lion’s share of
public school operating costs
went up by about $1 billion this
cycle over the previous two-year
cycle.
Uniting issues
Kotek praised the framework
devised by the Legislature’s chief
budget writers for the next twoyear spending plan, which aims
to boost the state school fund
from the $6.9 billion proposed by
Kitzhaber to $7.24 billion.
“We thought it was important
to have a budget that provided
stability,” she says, after state aid
dropped in 2011 and 2012 because
of the economic downturn and a
loss of one-time federal stimulus
funds.
The plan does so by scaling
back Kitzhaber’s targeted spending on other education priorities,
such as early learning, and human services and public safety,
“although those are still good
budgets,” she says.
But some school districts want
even more, and Kotek says it will
be difficult for lawmakers to do
so, although they are in line with
others to get a share of up to $150
million more if higher tax collections permit it.
“I think this budget does not
get us there for the really gamechanging investments we can
make, such as lengthening the
number of school days or reducing class sizes,” she says.
A coalition of local governments, business interests and
transportation users is shopping
around for a combination of higher fuel taxes, vehicle and driver
fees, and lottery-backed bonds
for system improvements.
“We are working hard to put a
package together, we are in the
beginning stages, and it’s going
to take most of the session to do
that,” says Kotek, who notes that
two Democrats and two Republicans from the House are involved
in the process.
“For me, a transportation
package is about getting projects
in the pipeline for the next five or
six years, putting people to work
right away, maintaining the infrastructure we have and expanding it.”
Dividing issues
But Kotek acknowledges that
such issues as raising Oregon’s
minimum wage — already the
nation’s second highest at $9.25
per hour — and requiring paid
sick leave will divide not only
Democrats from Republicans,
but also labor from business interests.
“What we heard from voters
was that they wanted us to take
up some of these issues that
could be potentially contentious,
so we feel obligated to go and
have that discussion,” she says.
“If we do not challenge ourselves to have a good debate,
then we are not doing our job.”

One bill would raise the minimum wage in stages to $15 per
hour by 2018. Another would
raise it to $12.20 by 2017, and then
link future increases with the
Consumer Price Index, as is done
now under a measure that voters
approved in 2002.
Kotek says she isn’t wedded to
a number.
“But I’d like to see us raise it
over the next couple of years,”
she says. “That will help more
people have money in their pockets, need less (government) help,
and have the dignity of working
above the federal poverty line.
It’s not simple, but I think it’s necessary.”
While a statewide requirement for paid sick leave for employees failed to advance past a
House committee in 2013, Portland has had such an ordinance
for more than a year, and Eugene’s will take effect July 1.
Without a statewide standard,
Kotek says, “you’ll have a patchwork of cities with differing leave
policies, and that is not helpful.”
Portland specifics
Kotek has been a long-time advocate of ways for the state to
encourage lower-cost housing,
particularly in a city whose median home price ranks ninth
highest among the nation’s top 50
cities, according to U.S. Census
data compiled by Portland’s city
economist.
“People are spending way too
much of their incomes on housing,” she says, which leaves them
less for food and medical care.
She says lawmakers will look
at the details of Kitzhaber’s proposal to issue $100 million in
bonds aimed at reducing homelessness for families.
Kotek says she has questions
about the specific bonds pro-
posed.
“But it’s the right goal, and
bonding may be a pathway to do
that,” she says.
She acknowledges that housing is affected more by city and
county policies, but says lawmakers should remove a 1999 preemption on “inclusionary zoning,” which requires developers
to build a share of housing considered “affordable” as part of
their projects.
“I do not know if communities
will take up that tool, but I think
we should give it to them,” she
says. The city of Portland is likely
to be one of the cities that adopts
inclusionary zoning if the Legislature removes the ban on local
measures.
Kotek also plans a package of
bills aimed at racial profiling, a
practice used to identify criminal suspects. Among the proposals are police collection of data
on traffic stops — this has been
done on an agency-by-agency
basis — and designating the
state attorney general as the official to receive complaints.
“This is not an issue particular to Portland, but it highlights
that police accountability in
Portland is a huge issue,” Kotek
says.
Kotek also is keeping an eye
on “lottery delis” that nominally
sell food and cigarettes, but
reap a substantial share of their
money from Oregon Lottery
games. Residents of Hayden Island, which is in her district,
have complained those establishments violate a Lottery
Commission rule against lottery
games being their “dominant
use,” and have asked the secretary of state to audit them.

Uber provides news fix

W

TriMet ran an electrified
MAX train over Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People, for the
first time Wednesday, Jan. 21.
The test run was intended to
verify the interface between the
track and the overhead catenary
system that supplies power to the
MAX and Portland Streetcar vehicles and signals.
The train ran at walking speed
and crews stopped frequently to
take measurements, conduct readings, and make necessary adjustments. It crossed the bridge four
times, traveling in each direction
on both sets of track.
The bridge is part of the $1.5 billion Portland-Milwaukie Light
Rail Transit Project that is scheduled to open Sept. 12. It will include 7.3 miles of track, 10 stations, and provide service from
Portland State University to
Clackamas County south of Milwaukie.
While the City of Portland
tries to work out some kind of
coexistence with Uber, a
Princeton economist pulled
the curtain back on what
their drivers make — about $6
more per hour than their traditional taxi-driver doppelganger. However, that doesn’t
include the cost of using their
own cars as chariots. Uber
better hope the city of Portland comes to some kind of
agreement soon — and not

Housing: Attracting grocery store to area could ‘light it on fire’
■ From page 1
That commitment represents
a “breakthrough,” says Jillian
Detweiler, the policy director for
Mayor Charlie Hales who has
been working to broker the
agreement.
Adkins says that project will
be a major achievement, but activists want the city to develop a
concrete road plan for how it will
get the rest of the affordable
housing units in South Waterfront.
“The proposed development ...
is a step in the right direction,”
the ad hoc group of housing activists stated in a letter to the
PDC last week, “but concentrating poverty in one building is
less than ideal; we also need a
plan that commits to creating
mixed-income buildings, or mixing properties serving lower-income people into diverse
blocks.”
Some observers say the city’s
efforts have lagged partly due to
a split between the PDC, which
sets aside 30 percent of urban
renewal funds for affordable
housing, and the Portland Housing Bureau, which manages projects with that money.
In Portland, bureaus are headed by different city commissioners, and they don’t always work
in tandem.
“We have to see a return to a
more coordinated housing strategy” between the two agencies,
Adkins says.
Commissioner Nick Fish says
he and Commissioner Amanda
Fritz were sympathetic to activists’ demands for more affordable housing in South Waterfront. The two city commissioners got more clout when a pending vote was scheduled to expand the North Macadam Urban
Renewal Area that includes
South Waterfront, and Commissioner Dan Saltzman announced
he’d abstain on that expansion
because his family owns property in the district.
Hales suddenly lacked the
three City Council votes needed
to expand the urban renewal area, which is part of his larger
package to eliminate two urban
renewal districts, shrink two
other districts, and expand two
others.
“Unless there’s a clear road
map for meeting the existing targets, this particular amendment
will not move forward,” Fish
says.
The controversy — or a lack of
three votes — prompted Hales to
postpone a vote on his urban renewal restructuring plan.
But now the various sides appear to be coming together.
Detweiler says the mayor
wants to do more than just one
200-unit project for low-income
residents and commit to meeting
the affordable housing goals for
South Waterfront.
“We want to reaffirm the
goals, but we want to commit to
a strategy,” she says.
Hales directed the PDC and
housing bureau staff to form a
working group to assure that the
low-income housing project
comes together on River Parkway within three years, Detweiler says.
At last week’s PDC board
meeting, commissioners spoke
effusively about their commitment to affordable housing in
the North Macadam Urban Renewal Area. Mark Edlen, a new
PDC commissioner, said the
River Parkway property is a
“killer” site. There is some talk
of putting a grocery on the site
and then building low-income
housing on top of it. “I think if we
could attract a grocer in this area, it would just light it on fire,”
said Edlen, who runs Gerding
Edlen Development Co., one of
Portland’s top commercial real
estate developers.
There also is new talk of the
PDC putting terms into its pending development agreement
with ZRZ Realty Co., which represents the Zidell family, giving
the city the right to “buy” some
affordable units sprinkled in
some of its housing to be built in
the area.
“That would be another way
to achieve affordability there,”
Detweiler says. And it would
mean that lower-income people aren’t segregated in the
emerging community there.
The Zidells own the last big
undeveloped waterfront parcel, north and south of the
Ross Island Bridge, and stand
to get $27.4 million in PDC subsidies for new streets, green
space and other infrastructure
there.
If the mayor wins over the
City Council to expand the
North Macadam Urban Renewal Area, it also could mean $40
million more for affordable
housing there.
In another concession, the
PDC is talking about setting
aside $20 million more, topping the 30 percent required
set-aside for affordable housing, if it raises enough money
to do all the planned infrastructure in the area and has
money left over.
Detweiler says the ongoing
talks are not at the negotiation
stage, but at the point of putting it all down on paper and
getting “review and comment”
from various parties.
The mayor hopes to bring
back his urban renewal district reshuffling plan later in
February, Detweiler says.
“If it all comes together, this
will be a big win for low-income families in North Macadam,” Fish says.

City, short-term rental hosts face off
Firms balk at new
rule requiring names,
addresses, permits
Those are fighting words to
companies in the so-called
“sharing economy,” who take
umbrage at sharing the names
and addresses of their local
hosts.
“The industry has made it
clear they do not intend to play
ball with us on the enforcement
side,” said city Commissioner
Nick Fish, as he cast one of the
votes in favor of the ordinance.
This is a $40 billion industry
that doesn’t think the city
should be regulating it, Fish
said. “What we have been told
by the industry is ‘butt out.’”
Portland became one of the
first big cities in the United
States to legalize short-term
rentals in peoples’ homes last
summer. Two weeks ago, the
City Council expanded the service to allow it in condos and
apartments as well.
Airbnb, which opened a regional office in Portland last
year and touts its special relationship with the city, has some
1,600 local hosts in Portland,
and has agreed to collect lodging taxes for the city. But so far,
only 135 short-term rental hosts
By STEVE LAW
The Tribune
A showdown is looming between the city of Portland
and companies like Airbnb
that promote short-term
rentals in local residents’
homes.
The Portland City Council, in
a 3-to-1 vote, approved a gettough policy last Wednesday
against hundreds of short-term
rental hosts who have failed to
obtain city permits. The new
city ordinance requires Airbnb
and its competitors to divulge
the names and addresses of its
local hosts so the city can assure the properties have been
inspected and permitted, and
are paying lodging taxes. The
companies also will be required
to collect lodging taxes on behalf of the city, and refrain from
advertising for local hosts who
don’t get permits.
have bothered to seek permits
— required since Aug. 30 — and
only 76 permits have been issued, said Mike Liefeld, enforcement program manager for the
Bureau of Development Services.
And Airbnb competitors
HomeAway and FlipKey, which
have fewer local hosts, are resisting the idea of collecting
taxes for the city.
The Short Term Rental Advocacy Center, a new group that
lobbies for Airbnb, HomeAway
and FlipKey, issued a sharply
critical statement after the ordinance passed.
“Deputizing short-term rental platforms as a policing mechanism is simply an abdication of
responsibility by the city of
Portland and a violation of the
privacy of the platforms’ end users,” the group stated. “Making
the regulatory process for rental providers easy and affordable
is the only path to improving
compliance, which will ultimately lead to greater economic
benefits to the entire city.”
Portlanders hoping to rent
out rooms in their homes must
seek a permit costing $178 and
an inspection by the Bureau of
Development Services. BDS inspections are superficial; inspectors make sure there are
adequate smoke alarms and
carbon monoxide detectors and
that hosts are renting out legal
bedrooms.
If the city doesn’t require that
hosts get permits, Fish said, “we
cannot say with a straight face
that the guest is safe.”
Commissioner Amanda Fritz,
who oversees BDS, cast the lone
“no” vote against the ordinance.
“It changes the way we do enforcement,” Fritz said. “We
need to take a lesser, encouragement approach before we go
after people with a big stick.”
After the vote, Airbnb’s local
lobbyist, Dan Jarman, said the
company expects to continue
working with the city to encourage its local hosts to seek permits. But the company has resisted pressure to require its
hosts to get permits as a condition for listing their properties
on Airbnb’s website.
Asked if Airbnb intends to
sue over the city’s new ordi-
nance, Jarman said “absolutely
not.”
However, it might be a different matter if the city seeks personal data on its hosts, he said.
BDS has a hands-off policy
about enforcing the city rules,
until someone files a formal
complaint. The bureau can levy
large fines, but there’ve been
relatively few complaints, and
neighbors usually have no idea
whether a local operator obtained a permit or not.
But now the Revenue Bureau,
which requested the ordinance,
will start enforcing it, and it intends to take a more proactive
approach.
Thomas Lannom, bureau director, said he’ll start by sending a letter to each short-term
rental company advising them
of the new requirements, which
take effect Feb. 20, and ask
them to come into compliance.
“Our starting point will be to
strongly encourage the companies to voluntarily comply by
educating and making the BDS
permit a requirement for all
their local operators,” Lannom
said.
The new ordinance requires
companies to “prominently display” the permit numbers,
which Lannom said means on
the Internet where the hosts’
properties are listed.
Since only about 7 percent of
local hosts operating in singlefamily homes have bothered to
seek permits, that could upend
the entire industry here.
Fritz said she feared the new
ordinance is “going to cost the
taxpayers a lot of money,” an
apparent reference to legal
fees.
But the ordinance also could
be costly to the short-term
rental companies and local
hosts.
The ordinance gives the city
authority to fine hosts and
companies up to $500 per property that’s not in compliance,
Lannom said.
That could mean a fine of
several hundred thousand dollars if Airbnb does not cooperate.

Portlanders talk, hoping mayor will listen
The Portland Tribune spent
the past few days surveying a
number of local newsmakers,
opinion leaders, and regular
neighborhood folks on their priorities for the coming year. Here’s
what they told us Hales should
include in his speech:
n Oregon House Speaker Tina
Kotek (D-Dist. 42) wants Hales to
focus on police accountability, affordable housing and gentrification. She says her North Portland
district is becoming increasingly
unaffordable, even for renters.
n Interested citizen Amy Peradotta says Hales should explain
what progress has been made to
encourage the construction of tiny homes in Portland.
n Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Dist. 3) wonders how the
region will be affected by the fact
there is no major federal transportation project in the pipeline
after the Sept. 12 opening of the
Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail
Project.

Residents offer topics
for Hales’ annual
State of City speech
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
There are some things we
know Mayor Charlie Hales will
say when he delivers his State
of the City speech this Friday.
Hales will tell the City Club of
Portland that the state of the city
is good, if not better. He also will
say that is largely because of the
character of Portland’s residents,
or words to that effect.
Those are standard features of
the annual speeches that Portland mayors have been delivering
for as long as anyone can remember.
But what do city residents actually want Hales to talk about,
and are they interested in subjects outside the traditional parameters of the municipal bureaucracy?
Mayor Charlie
Hales will give
his annual State
of the City
speech on
Friday.
PORTLAND TRIBUNE

Hales will increase international
trade and help create more middle-income jobs to help families
flourish.
n Oregon Food Bank CEO Susannah Morgan says Hales
should reinforce his commitment
to eliminating hunger in our city,
calling it an issue that is critical
for Portland’s growth and stability.
n Port of Portland Director Bill
Wyatt wants to know what Hales
will propose to raise the average
family income in Portland, which
is currently below the national
average and some comparable
cities.
n United Neighborhoods for
Reform co-founder Al Ellis wants
limits on affordable homes purchased for demolition and replacement with huge, expensive
new houses that are out of character with the rest of the block.
n Concerned citizen Krista
Hofmeister wants an end to
apartment buildings without
parking in the central eastside.
n R2C Group CEO and cofounder Michelle Cardinal
wants to know what Hales is
planning to do to address the
homeless problem in downtown
and the Pearl District, where
her advertising company head-
quarters is located.
n Small-business owner and
street fee critic Ann Sanderson
wants to know how Hales will restore the trust between city residents and elected officials that
was damaged during the bitter
eight-month debate.
n And on a related note,
KPAM’s Mark and Dave wonder
how Hales plans to prevent another yearlong merry-go-round
set of public hearings and debates about issues that ultimately
will be decided by the Oregon
Legislature.
What else?
Other subjects Portlanders
want to hear about include:
n Bikes: Follow the lead of
cities like Milwaukee and Salt
Lake with bicycle registration
and safety education programs
to reverse declining bike commuting.
n Business: Increasing support for existing businesses, especially small-business owners
who are squeezed by the city’s
business income tax.
n Carbon exports: State the
policy clearly and follow it, even if
that means sacrificing economic
development benefits to oppose
oil, natural gas, propane and coal
exports through Portland.
n Economy: A consistent
policy for responding to innovative but disruptive businesses
like Uber and Airbnb when they
come to town, including how to
enforce existing city regulations
on them.
n Education: More support
for K-12 schools to ensure that
all students have access to a
quality education.
n Energy: A citywide program that sets Portland apart
from other metropolitan areas
that uses some of the savings to
fund more conservation work.
n Diversity: New policies to
overcome existing racial and
other divides that are splitting
Portlanders apart on issues like
gentrification.
n Public involvement: Fully
fund neighborhood involvement
programs that have shrunken
to the point they are no longer
relevant.

Local author publishes e-memoir about life,

By DREW DAKESSIAN
The Connection
Chastity Glass is beautiful.
Her blonde hair falls in waves, just barely grazing her
tanned shoulders. She wears glasses, sometimes, and her unlined face is rarely without a small, comforting smile. She
looks like she could be a surfer, or possibly a librarian.
What sets her apart from the scores of other blonde, tan
and happy 30-somethings from California is a poem tattooed on her right forearm:
“i am scared
of being scared…
and so,
I am not
even if i am.”
She was 27 years old, living in Hollywood and recently
dumped when she met Anthony Glass, a handsome video
editor who worked at her office. They were instantly attracted to each other, exchanging poetic and increasingly flirtatious emails and quickly falling in love. Just a few months
after they started dating, their love story, a story of what she
calls “that young 20s love when you start making plans,” was
unexpectedly and indelibly altered.
He was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer.
When he told her, she didn’t think twice about whether to
stay with him: they were in this together

Back in 1971, law enforcement technology

remotely be considered digital.
That’s the world of policing inhabited by Bill
Bell, who served as sheriff of Wasco County from
1968 to 1971. Today, Bell is retired and lives in Wilsonville. And the tools used by current police officers are replete with technology only hinted at in
1960s cinema.
“Everything from the concept of a computer in
the car that automatically reads license plates and
talks to you, that’s ‘Star Trek’ stuff,” said Sgt.

Susan Matheny/The Pioneer
Debris is strewn across U.S. Highway 97 on Aug. 8, at the scene of a crash that critically injured
Madras resident Don Heckathorn, chief of Jefferson County Emergency Medical Services.
The chief of the Jefferson County Emergency Medical
Services, Don Heckathorn, 64, was critically injured Aug.
8, when his motorcycle was struck by a car on U.S. Highway 97, at Dover Lane.
Heckathorn, who has managed JCEMS since March
2007, was northbound on the highway around 3 p.m.,
when an eastbound 1996 Cadillac, driven by Gerald Scott
Green, 36, of Prineville, failed to stop at the stop sign on
Dover Lane, and collided with Heckathorn's motorcycle.
According to Oregon State Police, which is investigating the crash, Heckathorn, who was riding a 2012 Harley
Davidson motorcycle and wearing a helmet, sustained
life-threatening injuries, and was transported by Lifeflight
to St. Charles Bend. Green was not injured.
No citations had been issued as of Monday.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, JCEMS, Jefferson County Fire Department, and Oregon Department of
Transportation assisted at the scene. The highway was
closed for nearly an hour, and investigators remained at

Emergency clause abuses democracy
MyVIEW
I
n Oregon’s political order,
do state lawmakers recognize the people’s primacy
— or game the system to
impose their own?
Oregon’s constitution guarantees its citizens the right of
referendum, to put laws passed
by their Legislature to a public
vote. In recent years, however,
lawmakers have routinely saddled many laws with an “emergency clause,” which shields
those laws from a referendum
challenge and thereby nullifies
the referendum right.
In the legislative session beginning Feb. 2, voters should
demand an end to this cynical,
undemocratic practice.
“No act shall take effect,”
stipulates Oregon’s constitution, “until ninety days from
the end of the session at which
the same shall have been
passed, except in case of emergency; which emergency shall
be declared in ... the law.”
Why the wait? The main reason, writes Sen. Doug Whitsett,
By Richard F.
LaMountain
R-Klamath Falls, “is to provide
adequate time for the public to
gather sufficient signatures on
petitions to refer a measure for
the people to decide.”
How does that process work?
Within 90 days of a legislative
session’s end, citizens who
wish to refer a new law must
collect signatures of registered
voters numbering at least 4 percent of the votes cast in the last
gubernatorial election. If they
do, the law is suspended and
Oregonians determine its fate
at a future election, which is
usually the next general election.
But back to that constitutional exception, the phrase “in
case of emergency.” That empowers lawmakers, via an
emergency clause, to declare a
law so urgent that it must take
effect earlier than the usual
90-plus days. If they do, Oregonians cannot seek to refer the
law.
Webster’s defines “emergency” as “an urgent need for assistance or relief.” In recent
sessions, however, emergency
clauses have been attached to
bills that even the wildest imaginations could not construe as
addressing true emergencies.
Examples include: bills to allow
unionization of workplaces via
“check-off cards” (2007); to credential undocumented immigrants for in-state university
tuition (2013); and even to replace the U.S. Capitol statue of
Oregon pioneer Jason Lee with
one of the late U.S. Sen. Mark
Hatfield (2014).
How prevalent has been the
recent use of the emergency
clause? “Seventy-one percent of
the bills enacted into law during the 2012 session,” writes
Whitsett, “had an emergency
clause attached that [made]
them effective immediately upon their passage.” The clause’s
frequent intent? Whitsett contends: “To block the constitutionally guaranteed right of the
people to refer the new law.”
Would legislators actually
employ the emergency clause
to such cynical end?
Consider Rep. Mark Johnson,
R-Hood River, a supporter of
the undocumented immigrant
driver card law passed by the
Legislature in May 2013 that
was referred to and overturned
by voters in last November’s
election. Last March, Johnson
told The Oregonian that if voters rejected the law, then (in
the newspaper’s words) “lawmakers could pass the same bill
next session” and add “an
emergency clause to allow the
law to go into effect immediately.”
How to end such misuse of
the emergency clause? Oregonians should pressure legislators to do this: Introduce for
voters’ approval a constitution-
al amendment that requires
any bill containing an emergency clause to receive two-thirds
of the votes of the House and
Senate to pass, and until its enactment, pledge to oppose any
bill containing such clause unless, in their judgment, it addresses a true emergency.
When used for the intent of
thwarting potential referenda,
the emergency clause perverts
the relationship between Oregonians and the legislators
they elect to represent them.
We need to restore that clause
to its proper, limited role in
lawmaking — and the voice of
the citizen, as manifested in the
referendum, to its paramount
place in Oregon’s representative democracy.
Richard F. LaMountain, a Cedar
Mill resident, served as a chief petitioner of the 2014 referendum, Measure 88, via which Oregon voters
overturned the 2013 state law granting driver cards to undocumented
immigrants.

Community colleges are ladder to success
T
his month President
Obama announced an
ambitious proposal to
fund two years of community college for eligible students.
Many lauded this announcement as a potential game changer. Others questioned the details, wondering how such a program, if implemented, might ultimately serve
Oregonians.
This regional and national
conversation is
an important
one. It places
community
colleges at the
forefront of the
Brown
educational reform debate,
casting a spotlight on access, relevance and affordability. These
are the defining issues in higher
education today — and they go
straight to the heart of the community college mission.
Ultimately, the president is
right. To make radical improvements in educational equity,
community colleges must play a
pivotal role. In both rural and
urban Oregon, community colleges are the ladder to goodpaying jobs and the middle
class; they provide unprecedented opportunity while helping to
drive our region’s economic vitality. For these reasons, the
success of two-year colleges
should matter to every citizen.
MyVIEW
Access
leges serve learners at every
stage along this educational
continuum with the widest array of classes and programs.
With its proposal, the White
House makes a strong statement: To regain our global
competitive edge, more Americans need access to a college
education. Now and always, opportunity is the hallmark of
community colleges. Unlike
other post-secondary institutions, there is no gatekeeper at
the point of entry. Within guided parameters, anyone who
wishes to attend is welcome.
We facilitate our students’ educational journeys no matter
where their paths begin or
where they lead.
Today, nearly half of the students at Oregon’s community
colleges are enrolled in lowerdivision classes to build toward
a baccalaureate degree. Other
students are looking to fasttrack their career readiness
through basic skills development, job training or retraining. Still others are seeking lifelong learning and enrichment
opportunities. Community col-
By Jeremy Brown
Relevance and quality
One of the greatest ongoing
needs in our region relates to
professional and career-technical education, including training
in areas as diverse as automotive technology, electronic engineering, firefighting, machine
manufacturing, nursing, veterinary science and welding.
Obama’s proposal places similar
emphasis on vocational training, and on ensuring that students become proficient in the
critical skills and literacies valued by 21st-century employers.
Indeed, pertinent, high-quality vocational training has long
been a weak link in the overall
U.S. educational landscape, an
arena where most economically
robust countries place a much
higher degree of emphasis. Oregon’s community colleges are
leaders in this area, often part-
nering directly with business
and industry to ensure highly
relevant offerings.
Portland Community College,
for instance, recently launched
a new 20,000-square-foot Swan
Island training facility with advanced equipment and technology in direct response to local
needs. As a result of such partnerships, students can be
trained and job-ready in less
than two years.
Such courses are in demand,
but they also are extremely expensive, costing far more to administer than tuition and student fees can reasonably cover.
Without additional strategic
public investment and new private contributions, these vital
career-technical programs may
not be able to meet the needs of
a burgeoning economy.
Affordability
The most noteworthy aspect
of the president’s proposal is its
fundamental recognition that
the nation’s community colleges
deserve additional public support. This direction counters the
decade-long disinvestment that
has inevitably forced higher tuition and fees at all public colleges and universities. Such increases often place an unten-
able burden on students. Finding solutions to this student
debt crisis is a task for all of us
— our future economic health
depends on it.
No matter what happens with
the White House proposal, or
with similar legislation currently under consideration in Salem,
we must advocate for additional
strategic investment in Oregon’s
community colleges. Oregon
currently ranks in the bottom
five U.S. states in public support
for higher education, and direct
public support for two-year colleges across the state has
dropped significantly on a per
capita basis since 2007.
Thanks to the national conversation now taking place, we
have all been reminded that
community colleges return an
extraordinary dividend on
public investment. When we
think about educational opportunity, job training, economic
development and the critical
discussion around affordable
tuition, we should always think
community colleges first.
Jeremy Brown is president of Portland Community College, Oregon’s
largest post-secondary educational
institution, serving 90,000 students
each year.

Newberg, OR 97132
478630.012715
July 29, 1935 – December 30, 2014
Harry McAdams died peacefully at
his home in Newberg, Oregon on Dec.
30, 2014, surrounded by his family. Harry
was a devoted family man, respected educator and
terrific friend.
Harry was born in Kansas during the Dust Bowl
years and his family left soon after, eventually settling in Newberg. As a young man, inspiring teachers
and coaches influenced him. Football and wrestling
skills led him to Lewis and Clark College where he
embraced everything a liberal arts college had to
offer. Athletic ability got him there and scholarship
kept him engaged through five years until he received
a Bachelors degree in Natural Sciences. He began his
career as an educator at Newport High School in
1958 teaching Chemistry, Physics, and Biology to
students who learned that this was a teacher who was
determined that every class every day should be
worth attending. The Advanced Placement Field Biology trips of those years have become often-told
legends. He initiated a wrestling program and served
as the assistant football coach for several years.
After ten years in the classroom, Harry decided to
pursue administrative credentials at the University of
Oregon. The following year, he served as the principal of Eddyville School and three years later returned
to Newport High, first as Vice Principal for one year
and then as Principal. His students respected him and
valued him because he valued and respected them,
especially those who were sent to see him. Harry was
active in statewide education organizations with the
goal of improving the public school experience for
all. He served as the president of the Oregon Secondary Schools Principals and remained active in the
COSA organization until he left the high school.
Moving on to be the Director of Secondary Education, he extended his passion for education to the
principals of the district. He missed being in buildings with students but felt he could continue to make
the learning experience better for the students of Lincoln County. He always strongly believed in the
value of a vibrant public school system.
Harry retired from the school district in 1991 after
thirty-three years. He was always a gardener but retirement allowed him to take and then assist with the
Oregon State Extension Master Gardener’s program.
These years brought happy collaboration with the Extension staff and the many Lincoln County residents
who participated in the Master Gardener classes and
annual plant sale. He joined the board of the Oregon
Coast Council for the Arts and served as president for
several years.
Beyond these many accomplishments, Harry was
an amazing father to Melinda, Sara and Amy and a
devoted husband to Donnette. Animals loved him. He
was excited about nature; the bookshelves are full of
bird and plant guidebooks. He was an excellent cook
and was always trying recipes from the newspaper
and his large collection of cookbooks. He was a game
player, especially bridge. He liked to fish and enjoyed
hunting trips with his brothers, although he never
took a shot. He loved to ski. When his mother-in-law
told him she didn’t want to be related to anyone who
didn’t ski – he took lessons. Harry enjoyed taking his
family on “Discover Oregon” trips, usually involving
camping along the way. His favorite place in Oregon
was Waldo Lake where friends and family camped
together many summer weeks. Traveling became possible after retirement with several trips to Great
Britain as well as Hawaii, Mexico and Russia.
He enjoyed gardening, remodeling and developing
the land wherever he lived. Harry and Donnette spent
12 years doing that at their property in Logsden. All
three of his daughters were married in the gardens he
created. After those years along the Siletz River,
Harry and Donnette were convinced to move closer
to family. Three acres in Newberg and a rundown
farmhouse became the next project. As the work on
the house was completed, Harry was diagnosed with
lung cancer. The last year was filled with family and
friends gathering together, sharing old memories and
creating new ones.
Harry is survived by his wife, Donnette; daughters
Melinda, Sara and Amy; sons-in-law Rob Parsons
and Craig Clark; grandchildren Kincaid Parsons, Delaney McAdams, Wyatt Moyer and Grace Moyer. Of
his 7 siblings, he is survived by his sister Frances
Svendsen, brothers and sisters-in-law George and
Jennifer McAdams and John and Sharon McAdams
and brother-in-law Joe Jackson.
At his request, there will be no service at this time.
Friends and family will gather to celebrate his life in
the spring.

School choice rallying cry across nation
Local groups want
more than just
traditional schools
SCHOOL CHOICE EVENTS
The public education system is a pillar
of American democracy — but questions
are rising about the method of delivery.
The Cascade Policy Institute along with several local alternatives to public school are joining in the fifth annual National School Choice
Week, which runs Friday, Jan. 23, through Saturday, Jan. 31, with a kickoff celebration in
Jacksonville, Fla.
This year’s week boasts more than 11,000
independently organized events across the
country.
Cascade’s Steve Buckstein, founder of the
nonpartisan Portland think tank focused on
libertarian values, says parents are increasingly demanding choice in their kid’s school, be
it public, private, charter, online or home
school.
“We are agnostic as to what people choose,”
Buckstein says. “Most people have to go to the
school in their ZIP code. We think that’s a bad
way to run an education system.”
Buckstein says the Cascade Policy Institute
helped bring charter schools to Oregon’s education system in 1999. This year, he hopes to get
House Bill 2770 passed, which would establish
an Oregon Empowerment Scholarship Program, giving a small subset of parents control

others focused on school choice. Parrish says

school system unable to meet their needs,
while paying out-of-pocket for outside tutors
and therapy programs.
“It is a very loud cry from parents where
they just feel like their kids with disabilities
are being shuttled through,” Parrish says. The
representative argues that though the public
has agreed to pay for every child’s education,
the delivery system should be divorced from
the payment.
“I know that we have 80,000 kids who are
probably not getting the education they need,”
Parrish says, noting the number of Oregon
children with an Individualized Education
Plan, an indication of the need for extra help.
The bill would allow a small percentage of a
district’s students — those either with disabilities or living below the poverty line — to withdraw from school and take the $6,861 (on average) state fund payment with them to pay for
tutors, therapy, private school or any other
educational needs.

Portland Public Schools’ public relations
team declined to comment on this issue. The
Portland Association of Teachers did not return calls for comment by press time.
Responding to criticism that school choice
relies on having parents with the education,
income and free time to research and pursue
those choices, Buckstein says he believes it’s
just the opposite.
“School choice really benefits lower-income
people much more than upper-income people,”
he says, noting that wealthy families can move
to any neighborhood they like and afford increased taxes for better schools there.
In the current public schools system, he
says, “Teachers get paid and the administrators get paid whether the kids learn or not.”

Have a strong opinion on e-cigarettes?
Multnomah County wants to hear from you.
County leaders have held three public hearings on
the subject in recent months to address the health impacts of youth access to tobacco and nicotine.
They’re now considering three possible actions that
have been recommended by the Health Department and
Oregon Health Equity Alliance:
n Prohibiting e-cigarette sales to minors and probibiting use by minors
n Including e-cigarettes in the Oregon Indoor Clean
Air Act
n Licensing retailers who sell tobacco and e-cigarette
products
A public hearing is set for 1:30-3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan.
27, at the Multnomah Building, 501 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd.
It’ll be the fourth public meeting on the topic in recent
months.
Last fall, county leaders learned that the sale of ecigarettes is unregulated and unmonitored, and that the
county has one of the highest rates of illegal tobacco
sales to minors in the nation.
Because e-cigarette and tobacco retailers are not licensed or registered, health staff members have no way
to identify them to provide education and technical assistance to them, or enforce rules.
Here are additional ways to comment:
n Testify at the county board meeting Thursday, Feb.
5, at a time to be determined.
n Testify at the Troutdale City Council on Jan. 27
n Testify at the Wood Village City Council on Feb. 10
n Testify at the Portland City Council on Feb. 11

Eileen V. Edwards, a long-time resident of Tigard,
Ore., passed away on January 10, 2015 at the age of 93.
Eileen was born in Liverpool, England to Harold
and Ethel Edwards. After completing her schooling,
and surviving the Blitz during World War II, she spent
two years internship teaching in Kenya during the
late 1940s. She moved to Oregon about 1950, along
with her brother, Norman. After working in various
fields, including insurance, Eileen attended Portland
State University and earned a master’s degree to
enable her to return to teaching. For many years she
taught mathematics and science at Whitford Junior
High School in Beaverton, and was renowned for her
exceptional teaching skills and positive impact on
students’ lives.
After retiring, Eileen kept busy taking care of her
mother, immaculately maintaining and improving her
home, and pursuing a lifelong passion for gardening.
She also enjoyed world travel, and was devoted to her
dogs, including Miniature Schnauzers, Lhasa Apsos,
and, most recently, a West Highland White Terrier. In
everything she did throughout her long life, Eileen was
admired for her extraordinary intelligence, work ethic,
competence, character, and selfless nature.

Fritz seeks more money for infrastructure
Street problems won’t
be resolved, but plan
could ease pain
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
After eight months of fruitless debate over a possible
new street fee, Commissioner
Amanda Fritz has suddenly
come up with a plan to dedicate more money to infrastructure maintenance.
What’s more, a majority of
the City Council supports it.
Fritz has introduced a resolution to be considered Wednesday that would commit half of
all year-end balances and projected one-time funds to such
projects. That’s an increase
over the one-quarter of surplus
funds now dedicated to maintenance.
“The council must show discipline in assigning resources to
the most urgent capital repair
needs, particularly in being
good stewards of the buildings,
streets, and other infrastructure owned by the people of
Portland,” Fritz said when announcing the resolution.
The resolution also repeals a
target of spending 28 percent of
utility license fees on street
maintenance set by the council
in 1988. It has never been met.
It is not clear how much money would go to streets compared
to parks and other city assets,
but Mayor Charlie Hales, Commissioner Nick Fish, and Commissioner Steve Novick all support the resolution.
“I think it’s a great idea. And
note that the 50 percent is a
floor, not a ceiling,” says Novick,
who co-sponsored the proposed
street fee with Hales. Work on it
has been suspended while the
2015 Oregon Legislature considers a possible transportation
funding package.
The resolution may not
make a significant difference,
however. Although the ending
balance in this year’s budget is
not yet known, only $14.4 million in one-time funds has
been identified in next year’s
budget — and the resolution
would only dedicate $7.2 million of that to infrastructure
maintenance.
That’s a small percentage of
the city’s overall needs. For example, the 2013 Citywide Assets Report reveals that the
Portland Bureau of Transportation alone has an annual
funding gap for infrastructure

From his sixth-floor corner office, Scott Marshall can see the
future.
The Interim Dean of Portland
State University’s School of Business Administration currently
looks out at a green space that
runs along Southwest Montgomery Street from Sixth Avenue to
Broadway. With nearly $60 million raised, that view will soon
turn into one of a glittering glass
atrium bordered by green-roofed
classrooms.
After a decade in the making,
work will start Aug. 11 for the
major redesign and expansion of
the business school facility.
Marshall says he was tapped
in 2005 by the former dean, Scott
Dawson, to be part of a new
building committee. Ideas for a
new facility were kicked around,
a campaign started up, “... and
then we had this major thing
called September ‘08,” says Marshall, referring to the housing
market crisis that led to the
Great Recession. “Raising money in ‘09 was not easy. So things
had to necessarily slow for a
while.”
With the economy now picking back up, the university
scored a $40 million bond from
the Oregon Legislature in June
2013, which came with a $10 million match requirement. The
school has raised $17.6 million, so
far, but wants to hit its goal of $20
million or more.
From Rick and Erika Miller, in
neighboring Lake Oswego, came
the school’s largest single donation at $8 million. Rick Miller is a
1991 alum who founded Avamere, a health care facility
group, and Rogue Venture Partners, an equity firm.
Marshall says the university is
grateful for donations of any
amount from a base of alumni
and local businesses — including

Scott Marshall is the interim director for the Portland State University
School of Business Administration.
Intel, Tektronix, The Standard
and Blount International — who
want to see the business school
freed from the warren of classrooms and offices it has now.
“It’s not a hard sell,” Marshall
says.
Middle East money
Though most of the donors are
recognizable Portland philanthropists, the second-largest private donation comes from halfway around the world. Sheikh
Fahad al-Athel of Saudi Arabia
got his undergraduate degree in
business at PSU in the 1970s.
PSU spokesman Scott Gallagher
says the sheikh’s gift underscores the strong ties the business school has with the Middle
East.
Portland State University has
the largest population of students from Saudi Arabia of any
American university, according
to Marshall.
“So we have really strong connections there, and although it
seems surprising that someone
from Saudi Arabia is also a major donor, I think it speaks to the
history and also the forwardthinking engagement by the former dean,” Marshall said, noting
that Dawson cultivated ties with
the sheikh over many years.
Social capital
While PSU business students
are taught to invest capital for
the greatest return, the school
itself has an interesting twist on
that paradigm. Its product is intangible: knowledge and human
connections, not widgets.
“This current structure was
built to absolutely minimize so-
cial capital,” Marshall says, noting the multiple doors that often
block off staff and faculty offices
and the generally dark, closed-in
feeling of the 1970s building at
Southwest Sixth Avenue and
Harrison Street. “The new structure really will open up the building in so many important ways.”
Business school classes currently are held throughout the
campus, with a student body that
is 70 percent transfers and often
commuting in from across the
region. There is only one student
study space, and most of the time
when students meet one another,
faculty or even prospective employers, they do so at area restaurants and cafes.
“They need more places to
meet, to be comfortable,” Gallagher says.
PSU contracted with SRG,
which designed the University of
Oregon’s Lillis Business Complex, and Behnisch Architekten
based in Stuttgart, Germany, for
the redesign.
When finished in 2017, the
new and renovated spaces will
nearly triple the school’s floor
space to 135,000 square feet,
along with a much more open
format, state-of-the-art offices,
project spaces and common areas.
The new entrance along Montgomery Street will take its cue
from the Urban Center Plaza, the
busiest transportation hub in Oregon that will be even busier
once the MAX Orange Line
opens next fall.
The overall effect will be one
that the school’s administrators
hope will bring more people
through their doors.
Not only is Portland State
University’s School of Business
Administration getting a new ship,
it’s getting a new captain.
Dan Connolly, now senior associate dean at the University of
Denver’s Daniels College of
Business, will lead the Portland
school starting in June.
Connolly has deep roots in the
hospitality industry and says top
on his list is giving students a
good experience.
“Fundamentally, to be successful, it’s about giving students a
great education, helping them
have wonderful memorable experiences, developing deep relationships with people and getting
great jobs,” he says. “It’s the largest business school in Oregon,
and that’s great, but what does
size give us? I want to be the
best.”
Connolly has inadvertently
charted a westward migration during his career. Born in a Boston
suburb, he spent time collecting
degrees on the East Coast — a
doctorate from Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University, a
master’s in business administration from American University, and
a bachelor’s degree from Cornell
University — before heading to
teach at Michigan State University
and now in Colorado.
He says he sees a lot of similarities between Portland and Denver,
his home for the past 15 years.
“I joked when I was interviewing
that the main difference is we
have sunshine and Portland has
water,” Connolly says, noting the
cities’ popularity with young people and proliferation of breweries.
“We really want to graduate students who are going to be responsible business leaders making
good, ethical decisions,” he says.
Connolly notes that an international focus is key to any modern
business program and the business school’s large population of
exchange students is a key part of
that.
“A university’s role, particularly a
business school, is to stretch people’s comfort zones,” Connolly
says. “So having people in a
blended community is a really
nice thing.”
Joining Connolly on his move to
Portland is his wife and three
boys.
“We’re all very excited about
embarking on a new adventure.”

says Portland Parks and Recreation’s annual funding gap for
infrastructure maintenance
and replacement of existing assets is $28.1 million per year.
The aging Portland Building
needs millions of dollars in repairs and maintenance.
Still, Fritz says it’s the right
thing to do.
“Fiscal responsibility, basic
services, and stewardship of
our infrastructure must continue to be primary drivers of
all budget decisions, she said.
Hales agrees. According to
spokesman Dana Haynes, “In
2013, his themes were ‘Back to
Basics’ and taking care of

got from paving fewer than 30
miles per year to more than
100 miles per year without any
additional funds.”

new policy in November 2014.
Fish says he helped her write
it. The policy, if adopted, would

annual budget that takes effect in July 15. It would sunset

council deciding whether to

PPS approves transfer
policy changes
Despite protests, new rules put
focus on neighborhood schools
By KELSEY O’HALLORAN
The Tribune
Though barely audible
over the cries of protesters,
the Portland Public Schools
board on Jan. 20 approved
proposed changes to its indistrict transfer policy.
The 4-1 vote came too soon
for the protesters led by Don’t
Shoot PDX, who sought to delay the vote so that parents
could have more time for dialogue with the school board
and district, said Jasmine
Reid, the group’s communications and media representative.
“We think that an effective
and meaningful dialogue between the school board and
the parents is vital to ensuring
that the parents get what they
need for the children,” Reid
said.
The group overwhelmed
the school board at last week’s
meeting, when 30 protesters
with signs sat in front of the
school board and didn’t allow
the meeting to begin.
At the meeting, half a dozen
protesters stood up in the
front row of the auditorium as
the board moved to vote on
the transfer policy. After the
vote, the group chose to leave
rather than be escorted out by
police.
Reid said that Don’t Shoot
PDX doesn’t necessarily disagree with the policy changes.
Several community members
expressed concerns that parents of minority language and
racial groups had not been
heard.
Under the new policy, the
district will refocus on neighborhood schools, rather than
the transfer system that Superintendent Carole Smith
says has led to white flight
from poor-performing schools.
The transfer policy will be re-
configured to be a petition system based on income status
and other factors rather than
a lottery.
District spokeswoman
Christine Miles said the policy
recommendations had been
developed over the past two
years by the Superintendent’s
Advisory Committee on Enrollment and Transfer. Aimed
in large part at improving racial equity, the group surveyed
more than 1,800 people in different languages throughout
the process.
“At some point, public policy has to come to an end,”
Miles said. “Because they’ve
done extensive research over
the past two years, the board
decided they had enough information and input to make a
decision.”
During a public comment
period prior to the vote, several parents voiced their opinions on the program. One parent urged the board to end the
neighborhood lottery system
so that communities would
once again support their
neighborhood schools. Others
expressed concerns about the
details of the policy, such as
sibling preference. One parent
pointed out that for many
working families, it wasn’t
possible to attend the community meetings leading up to
the vote.
Tamberlee Tarver of Northeast Portland was concerned
that parents who didn’t have
access to a computer or the
Internet may not have been
heard throughout the policy
process. “You’re not going to
get everybody’s story,” she
said. “You’re not going to get
everybody’s data just looking
at bullet points on a computer
screen.”

PDX’s old carpet ripped
from Northwest folklore
By KEVIN L. HARDEN
The Tribune
With a mechanical tug Friday
morning, Portland International
Airport’s beloved 28-year-old carpet began being ripped (literally)
from Northwest history.
Shortly after 11 a.m. Jan. 23, Bill
Mackey with 4M Flooring of Portland,
and his crew, used a riding carpet demolition machine — a kind of miniZamboni for industrial carpet replacement — and began ripping large
swaths of the teal and blue carpet from
the end of PDX’s Concourse C, just
past gates 22 and 23.
It was the start of a $13 million project that could last until November to
replace the nearly 13 acres of carpet
that was installed in 1987 and has
found a place in Portland’s weird folklore. A Made In Oregon store in the
airport’s Oregon Marketplace sold Tshirts and bottles of Rogue Brewing
pale ale adorned with the carpet’s
well-worn pattern. Online, you can buy
pillows, ties and smartphone covers
with the carpet’s pattern.
New carpet – like greenery
Replacing the old carpet is just the
first step in a collection of projects
known as PDXNext. The nearly $190
million in improvements planned for
the airport between 2015 and 2017 include 11 new shops and restaurants
opening by April; remodeling of the
federal inspection station to improve
service to international passengers;
relocating and expanding security
checkpoints and developing new
member Steve Buel made a motion to
postpone the vote for at least two
weeks and to hold two community
meetings in the meantime. His motion
was not seconded, and the board
moved on to the policy vote — to the
uproar of many protesters in the audience, who had applauded Buel.
Reid said Don’t Shoot PDX said they
had collected more than 100 responses
to a survey in the 24 hours leading up
to the board meeting. According to a
copy provided by the group, the survey

waiting areas; and extending Concourse E with construction beginning
this fall.
Last year, a record 15.9 million passengers passed through PDX. In October, the airport celebrates its 75th
anniversary.
The carpet replacement project
was designed and created with the
help of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects of Portland; Hennebery Eddy
Architects Inc. of Portland; Emerick
Construction Co. of Happy Valley; Rubenstein’s of Portland; 4M Flooring of
Portland; and J+J Flooring Solutions
of Dalton, Ga., which fabricated the
new carpet.
Architect Michelle Vo, a principal
with Hennebery Eddy Architects, led
the design effort that created the new
carpeting.
“I’m excited about the new carpet,”
Vo said. “I think the new carpet relates
better to the experience of flying in
and out of Portland. It’s more like the
greenery that you see as you’re flying
in. The old pattern here is something
like runways, or something like what
an air traffic controller would see.”
Much of the old carpet will be recycled. Because some people want a
piece of PDX’s history, the port is selling large quantities of the carpet to
vendors, who will sell it to the public.
Transfer: More work to be done

ing a good job?” “Do you feel your
voice is being heard by the PPS School
Board?” and “What can the School
Board do or do differently?”
As the board voted, Reid stood with
several other protesters to explain the
survey, though board members and
police asked the group several times to
sit down or leave the room.
Co-chairs Ruth Adkins and Pam
Knowles and board members Tom
Koehler and Bobbie Reagan approved
the policy changes. Greg Belisle voted
no and Buel abstained.
The advisory committee’s co-chair,
Jason Trombley, said that while he and
his group met more than 60 times and
accepted public comment at each
meeting, he hadn’t heard from the
Don’t Shoot PDX group until they attended the Jan. 13 board meeting.
He said the committee will continue
to work with the board and district to
ensure that schools will meet students’
needs. This year’s transfer program is
slated to open Feb. 9.
“We believe that every neighborhood school in the system should be
able to serve community kids well,”
Trombley said. “We’re in a pivotal moment when the district is going to start
rebuilding neighborhood schools.”
The end-goal, he said, is that “people
can say, ‘we’re going to get a worldclass education in Portland regardless
of where in the city we live.”
new statewide coalition
wants the state to spend $22
million per year on an Outdoor Education Fund.
Oregon Outdoor Education for All,
the nonprofit coalition that formed last
year, is introducing two bills in the
state Legislature that would pay to
send every sixth-grader in the state to
Outdoor School for six days and five
nights.
Currently, about 26,000 sixth-graders
throughout the Portland metro area attend Outdoor School — but the majority attend for a condensed three days.
Even then, that’s only if their school
districts have been able to cobble together the funding. In all, fewer than
half of the state’s sixth-graders participate.
Outdoor advocates have long been
trying to provide a sustainable funding
stream, and to expand Outdoor School
for students across the state.
The two bills — Senate Bill 439 and
House Bill 2648 — will be sponsored by
a bipartisan group of lawmakers: Oregon Rep. Sherrie Sprenger, R-Scio; Oregon Sen. Arnie Roblan, D-Coos Bay;
Oregon Sen. Chuck Thomsen, R-Hood
River; and Oregon Rep. Betty Komp, DWoodburn.
Both bills would establish a state
Outdoor Education Fund, set criteria
for eligible programs, designate the
Oregon State University Extension
Service as the implementing agency,
and seek $22 million per year from the
state’s general fund.
The $22 million includes the cost of
$60 per day for 55,000 sixth-graders
statewide (which comes to $18 million
per year), plus transportation costs,
teacher stipends, pay for substitutes’
time in the classrooms, and overhead
for the agency to administer the fund.
“We’re talking about .05 percent of
the state’s general fund — a tiny drop
in the bucket, but every drop is precious,” says Rex Burkholder, co-founder of the Oregon Outdoor Education
Coalition.
The coalition has been working on
the effort for the past five or so months.
They hired a lobbyist who talked with
24 legislators, and conducted a poll
that showed 65 percent of voters support the initiative statewide, with 70
percent support outside the Willamette Valley.
The Oregon Outdoor Education Coalition
will launch its Outdoor School for All campaign to the public Friday, Jan. 30, with a
kickoff at the World Forestry Center set for
11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Timber Joey will be cutting the world’s
largest “wood cookie,” inspired by the tree
stump name tags worn by everyone at
Outdoor School.
There will be camp songs, testimonials
from students and alumni of the program,
and other activities.
For more: outdoorschoolforall.org.
Advocates point to research that has
shown that the full six-day Outdoor
School experience has more impact on
classroom performance, dropout prevention, and social and behavioral benefits for students.
Burkholder, a former metro councilor, has spearheaded the effort of keeping the topic of outdoor education alive
around the state, organizing a series of
regional meetings with support from
the Oregon Forest Resources Institute.
The fourth of the six meetings was
held last Friday in Newport, when
about 30 people — Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Forestry and other educators
— showed up to talk about the similarities and differences in programming, Burkholder says.
In eastern Oregon, they talked about
their students participating in daylong activities; in southern Oregon
there are private camps that are open
in the summer months only.
“All these folks are really dedicated
to the concept of getting people outdoors,” Burkholder says. “These aren’t
recruiting meetings. But we do describe what we’re doing. People are
totally excited about it, really happy
someone is taking this on.”
The fifth meeting in the coalition’s
lineup is set for 6-8 p.m. Wednesday,
Jan. 21, at the Metro Council Chamber
and Annex in Portland.
People from around the state can
teleconference into the event by signing up at oregonoutdoored.org/oregonoutdoor-register.
The final meeting is set for Jan. 24 in
Eugene.
After the meetings wrap up, the coalition will issue a report on their findings around mid-February.
Now as the coalition’s campaign
makes its public launch, Burkholder
hopes the grassroots movement will
help sway lawmakers to support the
bills.
“I have high hopes,” he says. “The
feedback has been, this is a really good
awesome idea; run with it.”
Whenever. Wherever.

The Seahawks take the opening kickoff and launch into their
first possession without the services of running back Marshawn Lynch, boycotting the
initial series in protest of the
league’s $11,000 fine of teammate Chris Matthews for grabbing his crotch in Seattle’s NFC
championship game triumph
over Green Bay.
“To fine a player for freedom
of expression goes against
everything I stoop for,” tweeted
Beast Mode, who had been fined
$20,000 for making the same gesture in the NFC title tilt. His

With Robert Turbin toting a
perfectly inflated pigskin and
Russell Wilson twice scrambling for first downs, the Seahawks move 70 yards in 10
plays, settling for a 28-yard Steven Hauschka field goal and a
3-0 lead.
New England answers with a
long drive of its own, scoring on
a third-and-27 play when Brady
hits tight end Rob Gronkowski

over Seattle nickel back Eric

After a three-and-out, the Patriots motor into gear again behind running back LeGarrette

preseason games at Tucson, Ariz.,
with a clear area marked for
improvement: goalkeeping/defending. The Timbers had little trouble
scoring and threatening to score
last year, but they still failed to
make the MLS playoffs, largely
because they gave up 52 goals,
third-most in the Western
Conference. Out is 2014 goalie
Donovan Ricketts, 37, who was
taken by Orlando City in the expansion draft. In is Ghana national
team goalie and Norway-born Adam

The Portland Tribune Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Thomas: Thunder QB keeps eye on NFL
■ From page 1
Kyle than it does for Darron,
just because of the experience
that Kyle has.”
Thomas says he saved as
much money as he could last
season so he would be able to
focus on training during the offseason. Other than a few appearances for the Thunder and
some coaching gigs, that is what
Thomas has been doing in Portland and in his home state of
Texas.
“I want to get my footwork
right,” Thomas says. “The quarterbacks have to be prepared
and ready to go because the
routes are going to come open a
little bit faster (than in college).
“I can complete any ball in
the arena game. I have to get
more accurate and put the ball
on those (receivers). The offseason training has been good. I’ve
been getting ready and getting
prepared. I can’t wait for the
season.
“I’ve been training with trainers all over Portland, I’ve been
training with trainers all over
Houston. I’ve been training a
little bit with the (Thunder)
coaches. I know I’m ready to
go. I’m really prepared.
“Last year, I came in and only
had two weeks, and it was the
first game. But now I’m really
prepared to play. I really can’t
wait to get on the field and produce.”
Thomas says there is not
that much difference between
quarterbacking on a collegesize field against NCAA players
and quarterbacking on an arena-size field against AFL players.
“It’s a learning process,” he
TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO: CHRISTOPHER ONSTOTT
Darron Thomas got to lift up the Rose Bowl trophy as the starting quarterback of the 2010 Oregon Ducks team that beat Wisconsin in the Rose
Bowl, a year after UO played Auburn for the BCS national championship.
says. “The arena league is an
older group of guys, so you’ve
got a good mental group.
They’re maybe not the best
physically, but their mental
game is great.
“I got my mental game up
with those guys. You might be
physically better than these
guys, but mentally they’re on
top of their game, so you’ve got
to be ready to go.”
When he left Oregon, Thom-
as was the Ducks’ all-time
touchdown pass record-holder
with 66 and had led Oregon to a
24-3 record, two conference
championships, a national
championship appearance, and
a Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin and Badgers quarterback Russell Wilson. Despite
his accomplishments, Thomas
went undrafted.
Thomas remains positive about
his future in football, though.
“I’ve met a lot of people going
through the situation I’ve been
going through,” he says. “I can’t
change anything. I can’t say that
I would (have) gone back to Oregon and do this and do that because that’s not true.
“I’m happy with where I am
right now. I still have a chance to
play in the NFL. Everything is
still good for me. I signed a twoyear deal here. Hopefully, this is
the year that I get an opportu-
nity (to play in the NFL). It’s
right there in front of me. I’ve
just got to go do it.”
Mariota is expected by many
to be drafted early in the first
round. Thomas does not necessarily believe that if Mariota
achieves success, it will help
him get a shot at the NFL, too.
“I don’t know if it could help
me,” Thomas says. “But I know
it could show that the guys at
Oregon are preparing for the
NFL just like the SEC teams.
“(Scouts) think (the Ducks)
have a system. But the things
we do at Oregon get us prepared. It doesn’t just work in
college football.
“I’m going to show those guys
what I can do, and Marcus is going to show them what he can
do. I don’t know how much Marcus’ success can help me, but I
know it can help us (Ducks players) as a group.”
The first thing Thomas needs
to do in order to even get a
chance at playing at the next
level is win the starting job for
the Thunder.
“It’s going to be an open
quarterback job,” he says.
“That’s all I really want and all
I really ask for. I’m well-prepared to win that job. The other
guys are thinking the same
thing. It’s going to be a good
battle.”
Thunder players report for
training camp on March 4, and
Portland begins its season on
March 27 with a home game
against the Los Angeles Kiss.
Whether the Thunder have
Thomas or Rowley under center, Hohensee says he believes
Portland will be in good hands.
“The common denominator
between the two of them is they
both believe they’re the guy,”
Hohensee says. “They both
have a great deal of confidence.
They’re both tremendous leaders and great competitors.
“This will not be an easy
camp. If Kyle relaxes, Darron
will take his job. If Darron
doesn’t work as hard as he is
working right now and goes in
and thinks he’s going to be
good enough and doesn’t continue to improve, then he’ll continue to be two, or even three.”
Eggers: Must have been something in Gatorade
■ From page 1
sideline through the third quarter. When sideline reporter Erin
Andrews ventures over to find
out what’s wrong, Lynch says,
“Thanks for asking.”
Jackson hits tight end Luke
Willson for a long gainer that
moves the Seahawks into the
red zone late in the period, but
Carroll is hit with another major
penalty, this time for excessive
cheerleading. Hauschka’s third
3-pointer of the game makes it
24-9 heading into the final 15
minutes.
Trailing 14-3, the Seahawks
drive from their 20 to the New
England 5. But Seahawks coach
Pete Carroll is penalized 15
yards for excessive gum-chomping on the sidelines, and Hauschka’s 38-yard field goal cuts the
Pats’ lead to 14-6 as the quarter
ends.
SECOND QUARTER
There is much confusion on
the Seahawks’ sideline as the
game referees huddle with NFL
officials. Seems that several of
the Seattle players are woozy
after drinking Gatorade they
suspect was spiked by the Patriots. League reps announce they
are looking into the matter.
Belichick appears to suppress a
snicker on the Patriots’ sideline.
Lynch is in the Seattle lineup
now, but his first two carries go
for negative yardage, the Patriot defensive front swarming.
Wilson hits Doug Baldwin for a
first down on third-and-long,
but the receiver is penalized for
unsportsmanlike conduct for
yelling in the direction of the
press box, “Take that, you
doubters!”
Another punt, and the New
England offense is clicking
again. Brady twice throws for
first downs to receivers covered
by the Seahawks’ Richard Sherman, playing with his left elbow
in a sling after an injury late in
the NFC title game. Carroll
sends in Lane as a replacement,
but Sherman orders Lane right
back to the sidelines. When Julian Edelman wriggles free from
Sherman’s coverage for 21 yards
and a touchdown, the Patriots’
Seattl Seahawks
owner Paul Allen
hopes to heist
another Super
Bowl trophy.

michael workman
advantage grows to 21-6.
Late in the quarter, Wilson’s
pass intended for Jermaine Kearse is intercepted by former
Oregon State cornerback Brandon Browner, who returns the
pick 37 yards to midfield before
being blown up by Wilson. The
Seahawks’ quarterback is shaken up making the tackle, though,
and is helped from the field. The
half ends with a 22-yard Stephen
Gostkowski field goal for a 24-6
Patriot lead while Seattle backup QB Tarvaris Jackson — who
has thrown one pass all season
— warms up on the sidelines.
THIRD QUARTER
The start is delayed because
the halftime show runs long
when singer Katy Perry faints

attle sidelines moments before
going on stage. She recovers and
ends with a rousing rendition of
“Firework.” The league announces it is investigating the
matter.
LeBron James, who watched
the first half standing next to
Carroll on the Seahawks’ sidelines, has moved over to the Patriots side for the second half.
Kraft enters the University of
Phoenix Stadium press box, confiding to cronies that he had
been watching the first half from
a spot in the equipment shed.
Neither team is able to get
much done at the offensive end
in the third quarter. Wilson remains in the locker room, and
his availability the rest of the
day is in question.
Lynch, who has 12 yards on
eight carries in the first half, is
riding the exercise bike on the
FOURTH QUARTER
Seahawk fans cheer wildly as
Wilson runs out of the tunnel
and joins his teammates. It’s not
clear if he’ll be able to play, but
just having him back on the
sideline is inspirational. Allen
and right-hand man Bert Kolde
jump up on a bench and lead
cheers for the team’s faithful.
Belichick is up to his tricks
again. The Patriots declare all 11
offensive players pass-eligible,
and before the referees can respond, Brady hooks up with center Bryan Stork for a 65-yard
gainer. Stork is tackled by Sherman at the Seattle 5 as Belichick
tries to hide a smirk on the New
England sidelines.
Immediately, the league announces it is investigating the
matter.
Then comes the play that
changes everything.
Brady steps back to pass, but
takes off and has a clear path to
the end zone. He trips, though,
and fumbles the ball across the
goal line. After a wild scramble,
Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner scoops up the ball and races
102 yards to paydirt the other
way. Suddenly, New England’s
lead is 24-16.
The Patriots go three-and-out
and, after a punt, Wilson enters
the game wearing a sling borrowed from Sherman to protect
his right elbow. Throwing lefthanded, Wilson coolly guides
the Seahawks 75 yards downfield. Lynch, fully recovered
from his Skittles sausage surfeit,
batters the New England front
for a pair of third-down conversions.
On fourth-and-goal from the 5,
the Seahawks borrow a page
from Belichick. Carroll declares
all 11 players pass-eligible, and
Wilson finds center Max Unger,
the former Duck, all alone in the
corner of the end zone for a
touchdown with 2:07 to play. It’s
24-22, and Wilson drifts almost
to the right sideline before heaving a cross-field rainbow that
fullback Will Tukuafu hauls in
to convert the two-point conversion. It’s the second career reception for the converted defensive lineman from Oregon,
though it won’t go into the official books.
(Asked after the game how
many times out of 100 he would
complete that pass, Wilson answers, “Twice.”)
James is spotted hurriedly
moving back to his spot alongside Carroll on the Seattle sidelines.
With the score tied 24-24, the
smart move is to kick deep. But
Carroll, ever the gambler, figures his onside kick unit is hot,
so why not? Former Portland
State standout DeShawn Shead
comes up with the play of his career, knifing between two Patriots to recover the kick at mid-

with Tim Hohl and Terry Travis
field.
With everyone in the capacity
crowd of more than 78,000 standing in anticipation of one of the
greatest Super Bowl finishes ever, Wilson runs onto the field
with slings protecting both elbows, just in case. Lynch tosses
a mostly eaten plate of Skittles
sausage to a teammate and follows.
Belichick sends 14 defenders
onto the field, but this time officials spot the ruse and penalize
the Patriots 15 yards. Lynch carries for a pair of first downs,
heaving chips after each run. On
the game’s final play, Hauschka’s 40-yard field goal splits the
uprights.
Bedlam ensues. Belichick
rushes the officials, claiming
the Seahawks’ balls didn’t meet
specification. The league announces it will investigate.
Seahawks owner Allen rips
off his shirt and throws it high
into the air, reminiscent of Bill
Walton after the 1977 NBA finals.
Carroll, wobbling from the
effects of a Gatorade bath at
game’s end, runs to and from,
looking for someone to hug a
la Jim Valvano. He finally finds
Kolde, who is accommodating.
Sherman seeks out Andrews
and, in a moment of humility,
asks her to tell Michael Crabtree he is sorry.
Lynch tells everyone he’ll be
glad to do interviews, just as
soon as his stomach settles
down.
When this all happens, you
can say, you read it here first.

Closing in on the problem of aging
New research may DavidLipschitz
lead to people living
longer, healthier lives
A
ging is not a disease,
as it affects everyone. Each day we
age, and our risk of
developing illnesses increases.
By reducing illness, we may
enable ourselves to live longer.
However, beyond the age of 90,
more than 70 percent of us are
dependent and often in nursing homes. Our goal should
not be a longer but rather a
better, more independent life.
The key question is: Will we
ever find the fountain of youth,
prevent aging and prolong life?
Scientific breakthroughs
have made this elusive goal
more understandable and feasible. Knowledge of the aging process and mechanisms leading to
the common diseases that occur
lifelong HEALTH
in late life is increasing rapidly.
Scientists firmly believe that
someday there will be a discovery offering the promise of significantly prolonging the quality and quantity of our lives.
Recently, a study published
in the journal Science showed
that resveratrol, an antioxidant in red wine, that prolongs
life in worms, flies and mice,
stimulates the production of a
protein called surtuin. This
protein prevents disease by
speeding up energy produc-
tion in cells. The research
showed that resveratrol stimulates a unique gene that leads
to the increased production of
surtuin. Dr. David Sinclair, the
senior author of the study, suggests that research like this
my lead to the development of
compounds that can prolong
life and prevent disease.
Like resveratrol, many compounds have been shown to
prolong life in animals. But of
all the approaches to prolonging life, the most successful
has been calorie restriction. In
the nematode, flies, mice, rats
and even monkeys restricting
calorie intake by 30 percent
prolongs average and maximum life expectancy by as
much as 30 percent.
These animals remain
healthy, do not suffer from many age-related illnesses and almost always the cause of death
is “old age.” In other words, an
autopsy fails to find any signifi-
cant disease.
And excitingly, scientists
have identified a number of so
called “longevity genes” that
can be sophisticatly manipulated to create a long-lived species. Increased production of
these genes can lead to strains
of species that have substantially longer life expectancies.
This approach offers the potential of manipulating female
eggs or sperm in a way that garauntees longer and more disease-free life.
Each of these breakthroughs
in prolonging life has, so far,
only been confirmed in animals, whose lives are remarkably different from man. They
are very inbred, are all identical to each other, live in sterile,
highly controlled environments at a constant temperature, always eat the same food,
and every aspect of their
existance is rigidly controlled.
Not so for man. We live in
the wild. Our genetic profiles
vary significantly, making
each of us uniquely different
from each other.
In man, the best predictor of
longevity is having long-lived
parents. And how we age depends on a complex interaction between the individual
with his environment over
time. In other words, our genetic composition can predict
our life expectancy and susceptability to disease.
But this is substantially
modified by our diet, the
stressors in our lives and our
ability to cope, whether we
smoke, our socioeconomic status, environmental pollution,
the level of public health programs and sanitation.
While we cannot choose our
parents, we all have the capacity to live healthier lives. Eat
right, exercise and learn how
to cope with stress and a longer and better life will be as-
sured. But these benefits are
small compared to the dramatic prolongation of life seen in
calorically restricted mice. ‘
While some studies have
shown that restricted food intake and proper exercise leads
to positive changes in a series
of blood tests that are associated with a longer and healthier life, no strategy in man currently offers the prediction of
living to 120 years or more.
The more we learn about
the aging process and the better we understand the fundamental mechanisms leading to
the common diseases afflicting
us, the more likely that a time
will come when the fountain of
youth becomes a reality.
We may well find a magic pill
that offers the hope of greater
longevity and, who knows, even
immortality. Life teaches us
that nothing is ever impossible.

Legacy Health offering reduced
radiation 3-D mammography
Legacy Health recently announced that it is now offering reduced radiation threedimensional mammography,
allowing radiologists to view
breast tissue in more detail
while reducing the 3-D radiation exposure to be the same
as a standard 2-D mammogram.
In addition, the technology
reduces “false alarms” — when
women are called back for a
second scan that ends up not
being cancer — by up to 40 percent.
Three-D mammography provides high-definition, more
comprehensive images of the
breast than conventional 2-D
mammography. Specifically,
3-D creates multiple images of
the breast, in layers, allowing
Legacy radiologists to examine
each high-definition image individually and reconstruct the
images into full three-dimensional view of the breast. The
quality of these images allows
Legacy radiologists to detect
cancer earlier by more accurately pinpointing the size,
shape, and location of potential
problem areas; more clearly
differentiating between benign
abnormalities and real tumors’
all while reducing the number
of callbacks and alleviating
anxiety for patients.
All four Legacy Breast
Health Centers plus Legacy
Emanuel Medical Center have
upgraded every 3-D mammography machine with Hologic CView imaging software. This
new software generates 2-D images from existing 3-D mammography scans, thereby eliminating the need to acquire the
additional 2-D images that gen-
erated the added radiation.
“While the radiation exposure of our original 3-D mammography was well within
FDA-established safety margins, this upgrade has addressed the concern many
women still had about radiation exposure,” said Kari
Thomas, MD, Legacy Cancer
Institute Radiologist specializing in women’s imaging. “This
allows women who are concerned about the radiation exposure of 3-D to get all the cancer-detecting power of 3-D
mammography without the additional radiation. We are
pleased to offer our patients the
benefits of 3-D without any additional radiation exposure.
Reduced radiation 3-D mammography is available at Legacy Emanuel and all four Legacy
Breast Health Centers, which
are located in each corner of
the region — Portland, Gresham, Vancouver, and the southmetro area.

Heart disease

take heed as well
It’s not a common question,
but maybe it’s the right one.
Everyone dreads getting
asked, “How old are you?”
But while your age indicates
one number, your heart could
be much older.
February is American Heart
Month, a time to raise awareness about chronic heart disease and to take action.
Ladies, you might blush when
you learn your true heart age.
That’s because people often associate heart disease with men.
In reality, this silent disease
plagues millions of Americans,
killing 800,000 people every year,
and half of them are women.
In Oregon, heart disease is
the second-leading cause of
death behind cancer. Heart disease, diabetes and stroke combined cause 28 percent of deaths
in the state.
n Are we all equal when
it comes to heart health?
While everyone’s heart is different, the simple answer is yes.
Many assume that heart disease
is a gender-specific health problem. Guys, you can see your girlfriends or wives pointing a finger
at you. But when it comes to
heart disease in the United
States, men and women are
equally affected.
Heart disease causes one in
three women’s deaths each year,
killing approximately one woman every minute. For comparison, one in 31 women die of

breast cancer each year.
“It’s important for women to
recognize that heart disease is a
serious threat no matter your
age or gender,” said Dr. Katherine Strelich, a cardiologist at Adventist Medical Center in Southeast Portland. “But what I tell all
my patients is that in many cases, heart disease can be avoided
or controlled simply by maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle,
and by taking a proactive approach toward getting screened
for heart problems,” Strelich
adds.
One quick and simple way to
find out how your heart is doing
is to take Adventist Health’s online Heart Health Assessment.
The five-minute test gives its takers a personalized report that
includes detailed information
about your heart health, risk factors for cardiovascular diseases,
and steps to take toward living a
heart-healthy lifestyle.

A couple of years ago, Portland’s food carts — beloved
by hipsters, downtown business people, neighborhood
folks and tourists alike —
offered 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

Symptoms more
common in women
Most people know a loved one,
friend, coworker or acquaintance
who has experienced a heart attack. It seems to strike all of a
sudden and out of the blue with
no warning signs, but many people don’t realize there are a number of symptoms that appear
when a heart attack is looming.
For women, those signs may
even appear up to a month before a heart attack strikes.
Common signs of heart attack
include chest pain, pain in the
upper body, and shortness of
breath. Women tend to experience a few more specific warning
signs, such as extreme fatigue,
nausea and vomiting.
People who believe they are
experiencing a heart attack
should call 9-1-1 immediately.
n So what are a few ways
to improve my heart health?
• Quit smoking. Cigarettes
stress out your heart by robbing
it of good cholesterol that protects it.
• Manage your stress. Stress
can cause high blood pressure,
overeating and smoking, all
things that negatively impact
your heart.
• Exercise. By getting the recommended 30 minutes of daily
activity, you can help maintain a
healthy body weight that takes
stress off your heart.
• Eat well. Simple changes to
your diet can improve the health
of your heart. Try avoiding processed foods with high sodium,
switching to whole grains, reducing the amount of red meat in
your diet, and eating more fruits
and vegetables.
Get some sleep. Get anywhere from 6-8 hours of sleep
every night so you’re rested and
ready to start each day.

H
ardly a week goes by
that I don’t lament
the fact we no longer
have the Weekly
World News to enrich our
lives — and here’s a perfect
example. Last week, I ran
across an article online headlined “How to sell your soul to
the Devil.”
Oh, sure, you might think
that because the article was
on weeklyworldnews.com, the
article might be of questionable veracity, but not me.
I also was not dissuaded by
the fact that the story was
posted May 5, 2009, even
though the Weekly World
News stopped publishing in
2007. I am, if nothing else,
open-minded.
The writer of this article
was someone named Marge
Floori — which, as we all
know, could not be published
if it were not true — so Ms.
Floori is now one of my favorite writers.
“You can have power,
wealth, an attractive mate and
virtually anything else you ever dreamed of — by selling
your soul to Satan!” Floori begins the article by saying.
“But how?
“You must know what
■ From page 10
“I’ve not done a play by a
Middle Eastern author before,” Coleman says, “and certainly not one that trafficked
in these kinds of political
themes. It’s been fascinating
to have discussions with people of different backgrounds
about these issues. It’s very
interesting and mind-opening.
I love that.”
Coleman realizes that the title and content of “Threesome” might raise some eyebrows. But, he says, “I look for
something that’s a little different, where they are doing
something different theatrically rather than just a good
old-fashioned play.”
He adds: “Definitely, the
team here is excited about
smart plays, this community
is excited about literature and
you’re doing when you make
the deal or Satan will cheat
you blind. That’s the word
from Dr. Rex Touth, expert on
satanic rituals and author of
‘How to Negotiate Unholy
Contracts.’”
Like the first-rate journalist
that I now understand her to
be, Floori makes good use of
her expert source.
“Dr. Touth cites cases dating all the way back to the
16th century in which humans
have agreed to spend eternity
in Hell when they die in exchange for earthly pleasures
while they’re alive.”
Then she quotes the good
doctor himself: “Human history and world literature are
teeming with stories like that
of Germany’s Dr. Faustus, who
pears, get him to make the
first offer, then up it.”

to burn in Hell forever. So no
matter how badly off you are
now, demand the best. For instance, even if you feel unlovable and desperate with loneliness, don’t just say, ‘I want the
most gorgeous woman on
earth and I want her to be
madly in love with me.’ Instead, add, ‘In fact, throw in
100 other women as well so I
can pick and choose according
to my mood.’”
n “REMEMBER TO DEMAND THE LIFE-EXTENSION
CLAUSE. Satan won’t tell you
if you don’t ask, but you can
get a guarantee of 300 years of
youthful life before you go to
eternal damnation. Why enjoy
a mere 75 or 80 years of reckless living when you can get
300?”
See, this is how you know
Dr. Touth is the real deal. By
offering this special insight, he
shows that he not only has the
goods but also the guts to
share with the rest of us.
Floori goes on to report that
“religious groups worldwide
are trying to ban Dr. Touth’s
book,” quoting “a spokesman
for the North American Council of Churches and Synogogues” (which may or may not
be an actual organization):
“This kind of trash is spiritual
dynamite,” she attributes to
the spokesman. “We can’t, in
good conscience, let people
read how to destroy their almighty souls.”
Then, like one of your better
news writers, she spins it all
back to the beginning by offering a nice summarizing ending
to the story.
“But Dr. Touth says we
should all be aware of the facts
so we can make an informed
decision. ‘It’s your soul,’ he
says. ‘Do what you want with
it.’”
And ker-pow! The story is
over.
Now get out there and sell
your souls (or not, your
choice) — but if you do, do it
right, OK?

brainy plays. This play does
both. It’s inventive about intense and interesting topical
issues. It’s very funny. It’s politically quite thought-provoking. It’s a meaty evening.”
Coleman says he has really
enjoyed working with El Guindi, from seeing the raw script
at JAW through rewrites and
development all the way
through rehearsal.
“Threesome” was favorably
received during JAW, and
Coleman expects it to be even
more popular fully staged.
“Until you put it in front of
an audience, you don’t know
what the journey is going to
be,” he says. “It’s always a bit
nerve-racking.”
After “Threesome” and directing “Edward Foote” for Alliance Theatre in his hometown of Atlanta, Coleman will
be working on another very
interesting work next at Port-
land Center Stage. He has befriended and collaborated
with two stars of “Grimm,” Sasha Roiz and Silas WeirMitchell, to put on Richard
Greenberg’s “Three Days of
Rain” in late May.
Call it a threesome of a different kind.
“I had reached out to Sasha
two years ago, after I read in a
magazine that he bought a
condo in the Pearl and loved
biking, restaurants and Portland Center Stage,” Coleman
says.
“I reached out to him, we
had coffee and lunch, and he
came to me last April and said
they (Roiz, Weir-Mitchell and
fellow “Grimm” actor Bree
Turner Saliman) had found a
script they liked. We started
reading it in earnest. They
had a window (to perform).
They’re good actors, and really nice people.”

Vlautin: Started
writing at young age
■ From page 10
The thought of trying to get
a novel published didn’t appeal
to Vlautin, at first.
“I liked [writing] so much. I
liked the craft of it. I didn’t
want to find out I was no good
at it,” he admits.
In person, Vlautin is humble
and unpretentious when discussing his approach to fiction
writing. He delves into his characters earnestly and fervently.
In some ways, his work ethic
mirrors that of the subjects he
writes about.
“If you’re given a chance to
put a book out, you want to
bust your ass,” Vlautin says.
“You want to make sure you
say it the way it’s meant to be
said in your heart. You just rewrite and rewrite and tinker

Daniel Webster once debated
Satan in a landmark soul-selling case in which he renegotiated the contract and had it
overturned. Thousands have
gained riches and fulfilled
their fantasies.”
And I’m thinking, “OK, I’m

To which Floori serves up
exactly what I’m looking for —
tips for how to take advantage
of Satan. And those tips (according to Dr. Touth, remember) are as follows:
n “SET THE DEAL UP PROPERLY. There’s a right and
wrong way to make contact
with the Devil. The right way
is to be alone in your room,
close your eyes and say, ‘Satan, I summon you. I have a
quality soul to sell if the price
is right.’ It may take dozens,
even hundreds of tries, but at
all costs, avoid sounding desperate or needy. He’ll show up
eventually.”
n “DEAL FROM A POSITION
OF POWER. By far, the biggest
mistake people make is to underestimate how badly Satan
wants their soul. It’s like precious gold to him and he’ll pay
anything to get it. When he ap-

His hard work didn’t go

“The Free” is among five
finalists for the 2015 Oregon

Vlautin’s no stranger to critical acclaim. His book, “Lean on

His first book, 2006’s “The
Motel Life,” garnered favorable
reviews from The New York

Washington Post, earning him
a Nevada Silver Pen Award before being adapted into a film
starring Dakota Fanning in
2013.

PAMPLIN MEDIA GROUP: COURTNEY VAUGHN
Writer Willy Vlautin loves the
solitude of Columbia County and
often works in the Scappoose
Public Library.
Vlautin’s
writing
reflects his
rural roots
‘The Free’ author
is a finalist for Ken
Kesey fiction award
By COURTNEY VAUGHN
Pamplin Media Group
Willy Vlautin thumbs
through books at the Scappoose library, taking a
break from the writing process to visit one of his favorite local treasures.
The award-winning novelist
and musician moved to Scappoose from Portland about six
years ago. He can recall his
first encounter with the town,
which charmed him with its
natural beauty and easy
pace of life.
“I bought a
dog from a
guy in a trailer in Scappoose in the
‘90s,” Vlautin
says. “I think
it was out in
the Dutch
Canyon area.
Ever since
then, I wanted to live in
Scappoose.
I’ve always
been a small— Willy Vlautin, er town guy.
“The Free” It took me a
author few years to
get out here.”
Vlautin, 47,
was raised in Reno, Nevada,
where he took a job with a
trucking company. He eventually was transferred to
Portland.
For Vlautin, living outside
Portland felt more natural,
bringing him back to his
working-class Reno roots.
“This is such a beautiful area,” he says of Columbia
County, noting he now lives
with horses and enjoys his
view next to logging land.
Vlautin’s stories weave the
gritty, raw tension of workingclass characters with the
grandeur of human strength
and emotion.
His latest release, “The
Free,” is a sobering ride
through the lens of caretakers
and blue-collar workers.
“The Free” is taken from
the national anthem and is
dedicated to nursing and
working-class people, Vlautin
explains.
“It’s kind of a commentary
on where America is at with
nursing right now,” he says.
He values the lower- to middle-class spectrum, favoring
authors like John Steinbeck
and Raymond Carver and
characters who embody common ground and humanism.
“The janitor’s the hero, and
not the CEO,” Vlautin says.
Vlautin conveys a distinctly
American view of the human
condition, which also is
echoed in his musical
endeavors.
Before publishing four
books, Vlautin formed Portland-based band Richmond
Fontaine in the mid-1990s.
Drawing on roots, folk and
early alternative rock influences, the band released 12
albums.
Fiction and songwriting
have a long history in Vlautin’s blood.
He says he started writing
at a young age, keeping tidbits
and stories to himself, but
never pursued it seriously until he was prompted to show
some of his work to an associate in the publishing industry.
“I was 20 when I wrote my
first novel,” he says. “I just
kind of kept them in my closet. I never really showed them
to anybody till I was about 35.
I had maybe four or five mediocre novels.”
“The
janitor’s
the hero,
not the
CEO.”

‘STAR TREK’
Symphony, youth choir
boldly going where no
music has gone before
Y
ou hear the music during a
movie, but do you really
hear it? Or feel it?
Well, you won’t be able
to miss the music’s effect while
watching the 2009 “Star Trek” movie, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037
S.W. Broadway.
Led by guest conductor Erik Ochsner, the Oregon Symphony and the
Pacific Youth Choir
will perform the
score live as Chris
Pine (as James T.
Kirk), Zachary
Quinto (as Spock)
and the crew of the
USS Enterprise battle an evil Romulan
in the J.J. Abrams
film on the big
OCHSNER
screen above them.
Tickets begin at $35.
For info: orsymphony.org.
Ochsner has conducted many orchestras for “live to projection” concerts, including for “The Lord of the
Rings,” “Bugs Bunny” and “Pirates
of the Caribbean.” This will be his
first “Star Trek,” and he likes how
composer Michael Giacchino boldly
went with new music even with the
classic “Star Trek” theme in mind.
“The composer realized that he
had a huge burden put on him,”
Ochsner says, “and it’s only at the
end that we get the famous Alexander Courage theme we recognize.
He treats it as a new piece, but at
the same time there’s a leitmotif;
when there’s a character or spaceship or planet or certain type of person onscreen, then you hear the music, even if it’s not visualized.
There’s a subconscious reminder.”
Giacchino has written for film,
television and video games, working

with Abrams since 2001. He has won
numerous awards for
his music, including for
TV show “Lost” and
movies “Ratatouille”
and “Up.” Giacchino’s
score for the video
game “Jurassic Park:
The Lost World” was
the first video game to
feature a live orchestral
score. He has earned acclaim for his “Medal of
Honor” video game
scores.
He also has worked
on “The Incredibles”
and “Finding Nemo.”
“Star Trek” and “Star
Trek Into Darkness”
earned him much attention, and he often attends the live “Star
Trek” performances. He
could be in Portland.
The score includes
the use of a Chinese
two-string violin called an erhu during introspective Spock scenes.
Ochsner arranged for an erhu to be
used in the Portland performance.
Music lends a great deal to a movie, Ochsner says.
“It creates a wonderful environment,” he says. “For me, film music
is an emotional crutch. It tells the
audience how it’s supposed to feel.
“What’s great about live-to-projection concerts — even the New
York Philharmonic is doing them —
is the focus is really on the music.”
There’s a reason that movie music grows on you.
“This is film music,” Ochsner
likes to tell symphony and choir
members. “Goose bumps and tears
are not optional.”

Three’s company … and then some
Chris Coleman takes
hard, but funny look
at sexism, identity
By JASON VONDERSMITH
The Tribune
Every year certain stage
works strike a chord with
Chris Coleman, artistic director of Portland Center
Stage.
At the 2013 JAW Festival, a
showcase for playwrights,
Coleman watched as Seattle’s
Yussef El Guindi presented
his new play. It wasn’t the title of the work — “Threesome” — that drew Coleman’s
attention as much as the story itself.
Yes, it was an awkward
sexual farce involving a cou-

With “Threesome,” Portland
Center Stage’s Chris Coleman
again found something “a little
different.”
ple and an invited stranger,
but, no, the story didn’t remain the same. It took a turn,
toward secrets, issues of sexism, possession and
independence.
“It starts out literally as a
sexual adventure, but the
resonance of what that
means expands exponentially
in the second half,” says
Coleman, who has led one of
Portland’s most-renowned
theater companies since 2000,
and annually directs highly
acclaimed plays such as
“Threesome.”
“I thought it was a hilarious romp. Thematically quite
powerful. I’ve not done anything quite like this.”
At JAW, “the audience response to it sold me,” he adds.
“The first half is a sex farce,
physically hilarious and awkward, but it takes a surprising
turn. Ultimately, it gets at
something deeper under-
neath, about how we can reclaim our identity and our
sense of ownership of our
body. The complexity of this
story, combined with the crazy humor, will make a really
interesting journey for our
audience.”
Admittedly, Coleman says
he wouldn’t bring his 6-yearold to see it — “I’d definitely
call it an ‘R.’” But it’s such
captivating theater, he adds,
and after the world premiere
run in Portland, starting this
week at Gerding Theater and
going through March 8 (pcs.
org), he hopes another company picks up on El Guindi’s
work.
“It’s always hard to know.
Yussef has a nice reputation
around the country, and has
won significant awards,” Coleman says. “There’s been quite
a bit of interest from artistic
directors about this piece.
There are a lot of people reading it.
“One of the things you
hope for, anytime you’re
working with R&D (research
and development), you’re going to produce 150 prototypes
before one actually finds a
market. You have to keep
your expectations real. The
biggest win is the experience
our audience gets to have in
hearing a new voice.”
There also are Middle Eastern themes in the play. El
Guindi has roots in Egypt, as
does Alia Attallah, who plays
Leila. Dominic Rains (Rashid)
was born in Tehran, Iran.
Quinn Franzen (Doug) is the
third wheel in “Threesome.”
