Google plan leaves digital gap
Experience in Kansas
City sours some on
high-speed venture
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
To hear Mayor Charlie Hales and
other local elected officials tell it,
everyone will benefit if Google
brings its ultra-high speed broadband network to the region.
But when Google Fiber was first being installed in Kansas City a few years
ago, the company was criticized for reinforcing historic racial breakdowns,
with white neighborhoods getting service and traditional minority neighborhoods being left out.
“Originally, the way Google provided the service, there was a stark division between the historic haves and
have-nots,” says Rick Chambers, executive director of the Center Education
Foundation, a nonprofit organization
that raises money for schools with
large numbers of low-income students
in Kansas City, Mo.
Google officials say the split was not
intentional, but an inadvertent result
of how they let neighborhoods decide
whether they want service. They point
to research that shows there are many
reasons people don’t have — or want
— high-speed Internet access, including cost, perceived relevance, lack of
computer skills and worries about
identify theft.
“The challenges are quite complex,”
says Erica Swanson, Google’s digital
inclusion program manager.
To better overcome them, the
company has increased its efforts to
convince all potential customers about
the benefits of being online in this
digital age.
“We are doubling down and really
working with communities,” says
Swanson.
As part of that effort, Andrew Bentley, a Google digital inclusion specialist, recently came to Portland to learn
about the city’s community and other
organizations working to expand Internet access to more residents.
Among others, he visited the nonprofit

Google’s plans for high-speed Internet

and income lines in Kansas City.
■ Three decades later, Terry Bowman still feels heat from BHS auditorium blaze

M
arch 19, 1979, was the day Terry
Bowman burst into flames.
It was the week of spring break,
and all of the 1,710 students at Beaverton High School were gone when the
school’s auditorium/theater caught fire.
Bowman, a firefighter who worked for what
was then known as Washington County Fire
District No. 1, was on one of the engines responding to the four-alarm blaze.
Before the day was out, Bowman would be
severely burned in one of the worst survivable
accidents that a firefighter has
encountered in the last threeand-a-half decades among the

three fire districts that would
eventually merge to form Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, according to local fire officials.
He would suffer second- and third-degree burns
over 49 percent of his body. Several other firefighters suffered less severe injuries.
Still, 35 years later, Bowman clearly remembers the moment-to-moment incident as if it
were yesterday.
“You know when they say you have a big experience like that, it cements it well into your
mind,” Bowman, 72, says from his Rockaway
Beach home. “Yeah, I remember every bit of it.”
Normally, Bowman, who was then 36, would
have remained on the ground, operating the
aerial ladder. But that day he wanted to help
out, climbing up to the auditorium roof to hand
off a chainsaw to his fellow firefighters, so they
could ventilate the building.
While he had his heavy turnout trousers on
when he ascended the ladder, he didn’t have on
his turnout jacket, wearing only a short-sleeved
shirt.
The fire had been burning for several hours

at that point, and firefighters were searching
for its source, which ultimately would be traced
to a space between the auditorium’s roof and a
false roof underneath it. The cause would turn
out to be a light bulb touching a seat cushion.
Once he got there, Bowman fired up the
chainsaw and waited to see if anything else was
needed.
In 2011, former Beaverton Fire Department
Chief Oscar “Sox” Lee, who led the department
at the time, recalled telling his
men to “get off the roof! Get off
the roof!”
By that time, the firefighters at
the scene already sensed the roof
was about to collapse.

Saltzman puts ‘workforce housing’ on agenda
■ On heels of unflattering
audit, council locks horns
on incentives
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
After being in charge of
the Portland Housing Bureau for about a year, Commissioner Dan Saltzman is
considering expanding its
priorities from primarily
low-income housing to include so-called workforce
housing for moderate-income families.
“There are a lot of needs for
housing in the community, including affordable housing for
working families near their jobs
and schools,” Saltzman says.
Saltzman is also preparing to
ask the City Council to set
guidelines for the bureau’s financing programs. The Portland city auditor recently re-

leased an audit saying it is
not clear how
the bureau decides which
project qualifies for which
program. And,
the audit says,
SALTZMAN the bureau will
only collect
about $54 million of its total
portfolio of $357 million in outstanding loans.
“This limits the opportunity
for PHB to invest in new projects
in the future, since most loans
— more than $300 million — will
be spent once rather than
loaned, recovered, and used
again for additional projects,”
according to the city audit.
Saltzman is not surprised so
“I haven’t clinched any deals yet,
but I might going forward.”

few loans will be repaid. The
bureau has been focused on investing in projects that provide
housing for the city’s most vulnerable residents. Many of the
loans are made to nonprofit organizations that develop or rehabilitate such projects. They
could not afford to keep their
rents low if they had to generate enough income to repay the
loans.
“We shouldn’t call them
loans if we know they’re not go-
ing to be repaid. We should call
them grants,” says Saltzman.
But more than that, Saltzman
says the bureau needs to know
which financing options should
be offered to each of the different kinds of projects it supports. Saltzman has scheduled
the bureau to appear before the
council to discuss the issue on
April 30.
Saltzman says his desire to
expand the range of projects

is a lot of support on the council
and in the community to prioritize low income housing projects. Commissioner Nick Fish,
who had the bureau before
Saltzman, was praised for coming up with city funds to help
build Bud Clark Commons during the height of the Great Recession. Located at 655 N.W.
Hoyt St., it offers 130 studio
apartments for the homeless,
including those with drug and
alcohol addictions.
Applicants must have an annual income that does not exceed 35 percent of the area’s
median family income for their
family size. Saltzman agrees

roof and the parapet, and just
suddenly it back-drafted and
happened all at once, and I ran
for the edge,” Bowman recalls.
“I knew where the ladder was,
and I jumped through a wall of
flame.”
Engulfed in flames, he made
it onto the ladder. “At that point,
the roof started to come down
and pulled away from the (concrete block) walls and (went)
down.”
Because his hands and arms
were so badly burned, Bowman
couldn’t use them to navigate
down the ladder.
What would etch the memory
of the drama into everyone’s
brain was the fact a television
station cameraman and a daily
newspaper photographer captured everything on film.
When Bowman got to the bottom of the ladder on the west
end of the building, firefighters
sprayed him down with water.
His short-sleeve shirt was
burned off his body, a photo
shows him standing in obvious
shock, tended by fire officials as
the auditorium fire still raged in
the background.
Art Thurber, a retired firefighter with Beaverton Fire Department Station 267, was the
person Bowman handed the
chainsaw to.
“I was walking toward Terry
to get the chainsaw and that’s
when the roof first opened up
and got him,” Thurber says. “I
heard him scream. Then he was
gone. You couldn’t see him anymore because of the smoke and
the fire.”
Prior to the fire escalating,
Thurber, now 66 and a part-time
resident of Pacific City, decided
to walk the perimeter of the auditorium just in case he and his
fellow firefighters needed a
quick escape route. He discovered one at the north end.
Thurber says he remembers
Lt. Dave Asher saying some-
dent today, including the day
several Chemeketa Community
College students paid a visit to
the Progress Fire Station, where
he spent most of his career.
“They were in training for being (firefighters), and they said,
‘You know, it’s kind of a dangerous business. We just saw this
video of this guy that came
down the ladder on fire.’ And I
said, ‘Oh, that was me,’ and they
said, ‘Oh no, it wasn’t; this was a
young guy.’ “

This is a shot of the theater following the devastating fire that gutted the facility. Firefighter Terry Bowman recalls that the fire caused steam to emit
from a drinking fountain near the theater and that a large glass window heated to the point that it exploded, throwing firefighters down a hallway.
thing to the effect that they had
run out of time. At that point, all
four of the firefighters on the
roof went to the north end and
jumped from the parapet to a
roof over the entrance of the auditorium. The last to jump off,
Thurber remembers the intense
heat he felt on his legs as he left
the main roof just moments before the roof collapsed.
Today, both he and Bowman
occasionally hunt and raft
together.
Thurber says he doesn’t often
think of that day, saying some
unpleasant memories you want
to block out.
“That was too close,” he says.
Long recovery
Bowman’s recovery would
take some time, he says. Doctors took grafted skin from his
legs, attaching it to his arms. In
addition, he had to wear special
gloves for two years and compression elastic around his
torso.
“I know what it’s like to wear
a girdle,” he jokes.
The suspenders holding up
his turnout pants and the chin
strap from his helmet protected
the skin underneath, so he still
has distinctive marks (less so on
his chin) to this day.
“It melted my glasses,” he
recalls.
He kept his helmet — deformed by the heat — as a souvenir to a long and painful
recovery.
Bowman recalled too, just
how long, hot and dangerous
the fire really was. A fellow firefighter later told him he witnessed steam coming out of one
of the school’s water fountains.
Also, a glass wall blew out during the fire.
“That was more like an explosion,” he says, noting that several firefighters were blasted
down the hall by the force.
Because of the video, fire departments across the country
still use it as part of training ex-
ercises to emphasize the importance of wearing proper protective equipment.
“It’s a bummer to be known
forever for a mistake,” Bowman
says.
In previous interviews, retired Chief Lee has talked about
how deeply Bowman’s injuries
affected him.
“That was one of the worst
days of my life when Terry was
burned,” Lee said in 2011.
One thing Bowman never
doubted was that he would return to firefighting, which he
did. Upbeat and positive by nature, Bowman can joke about
some of the aspects of his acci-

Closer to home.
Bowman eventually went
back to look at the destroyed
auditorium.
Understandably, it took
awhile for him to regain enough
courage to once again climb
atop a tall structure again. From
that point on, he always made
sure he was one step closer to
the edge of the roof of any future building fires he fought.
Bowman would go on and retire more than 10 years later,
working along the way on the
fire district’s hazardous materials team.
Although his injuries were
serious, he said he didn’t suffer
any long-term health effects.
“I don’t have any problems,”
says Bowman. “Everything is
good and healthy.”
Today, with a contract with
the city of Rockaway Beach,
Bowman and his wife Marilou
run the management part of the
Nedonna Rural Fire Protection
District from their home, collecting taxes and making budgets for the special district.
They also run a neighborhood association and are actively involved in the local Lion’s
Club.
Despite his accident, Bowman has never had any regrets
about the career he chose, saying everyone is glad to see a
fireman.
“I was really happy being a
firefighter,” he says. “There is
no better job.”

TriMet, Lamar Advertising
replacing bus benches
TriMet is working with Lamar Advertising to replace bus benches around
the city.
The new benches along Line 75 were
installed as part of TriMet’s Ridership
Amenity Program, funded by Lamar
Advertising.
The second round of installations is
taking place now in North Portland
along the 4 and 44 bus lines. Bus Line 77
will be the next line to see new benches
installed after that.
The new leaners are similar to the
rails found at MAX stations, giving riders an alternative to standing in locations where benches will not safely fit.
TriMet agreed in November to an advertising contract with Lamar Advertising Co. to replace about 600 ad benches
with both benches and leaners. Advertising on transit property helps fund
transit service. Lamar guarantees TriMet between $3.2 million to $3.7 million
in revenue each year.
A woman-owned business in Vancouver, Wash., Decorative Metal Services
Inc., is fabricating all benches and leaners. Installation will continue through
December 2014 throughout the transit
district.

Abuse probe forces Stars to
give up lottery machines
Stars Cabaret in Beaverton has
agreed to terminate its contract with
the Oregon Lottery as fallout from several mid-December arrests in connection with the sexual abuse of two
13-year-old girls at the business.
Lottery officials said March 26 that all
video lottery games were to be removed
from the Beaverton nightclub, 4570 S.W.
Lombard Ave., early this week. Stars
owners voluntarily ended the lottery
contract after meeting with state officials in early March.
Three men have been arrested in the
case involving the underage girls at
the Beaverton business. Beaverton police began a criminal investigation into
the sex trafficking in late September.
Two men were arrested in mid-December in connection with the abuse. A
third man was arrested near the end of
December.
Stars owners claimed they did not
know about the ongoing abuse at the
club.
“Even though the criminal investigation is continuing and we are not prejudging its outcome, we concluded that
there is a sufficient basis to terminate
our contract with the Stars Cabaret and
Steak House in Beaverton,” said Oregon Lottery Director Jack Roberts.
“This does not preclude a future Lottery contract at that location if management demonstrates that it has implemented policies that will prevent the
reoccurrence of the circumstances that
led to this termination.”
In a letter to lottery officials, Stars
owners did not admit to any wrongdoing at that location or any other location
in Oregon and stated that the company
expects to be vindicated. .

■ Sherwood teen’s website helps children
cope with trauma of parents in jail, prison
SHERWOOD
By RAY PITZ
Pamplin Media Group
When Gabriella was only
11, her father was unexpectedly convicted of several violent crimes and incarcerated
in a maximum-security prison in Washington.
Devastated by the news, Gabriella, who has asked that her
last name not be used for this
story, recalls that hearing the
news was like traveling down a
long, dark tunnel that didn’t end.
“I was in shock for a good two
or three days,” she recalls of the
day she heard the news as a
sixth-grader at Edy Ridge Elementary School, saying it felt
like someone had dropped a
bomb.
What hurt her even more
was the fact she was so close to
her father, even though her
parents had divorced years
earlier.
It took awhile for Gabriella,
now a 16-year-old junior at Sherwood High School, to come to
terms with the harrowing ordeal,
and more specifically, to “grasp
the concept he was gone.”
School, a place where she
had always excelled (having
been promoted a grade previously and placed in talented
and gifted programs), became
a place where she could no longer focus on her studies.
Gabriella’s mother, Jamie
Palfrey, who had been divorced
from Gabriella’s father for
eight years at the time of her
ex-husband’s conviction, was
equally shocked when she discovered the seriousness of his
crime. She recalled that both of
them felt extremely isolated
with few places to find solace.
But the most terrifying aspect of it was that Palfrey wor-
ried her daughter wouldn’t be
able to return to any sense of
normalcy.
“I was the most scared I’ve
ever been in my life,” says Palfrey. “I was just struggling to
find resources... anywhere.”
Coming to terms
Initially feeling that everyone had a perfect life except for
herself, Gabriella eventually
sought counseling, something
that helped her tremendously
and got her back on track.
“Even if you are comfortable
with it, you find there’s not a
whole lot of people who (can)
relate to it,” says Gabriella.
As Gabriella began looking
into the issue of children who
have parents in prison, she discovered some sobering statistics, including the fact there
are 2.7 million children nationwide who have an incarcerated
parent, or roughly one in 30
students in every classroom.
“It’s astonishing how big of
an issue this is,” said Gabriella,
who is a varsity cheerleader at
SHS.
All the while, Gabriella and
her mother wanted to find
some way to provide resources
for children and teens who
have parents in prison.
So Gabriella decided to create a website, Children Affected
by Incarcerated Parents Inc.,
also known as C.A.I.P., dedicated to providing resources, education and support for youth
with an incarcerated parent.
“It provides an overview of
what they can expect emotionally and legally,” says Gabriella.
“I’m hoping this will tie everything together for children.”
Not only is C.A.I.P. an acronym for the website, but Gabriella likes it because it sounds
out the word “capes,” hopefully
conjuring up the image of a superhero for kids.
PAMPLIN MEDIA GROUP: RAY PITZ
Finding out her father was in prison when she was 11 years old led
Gabriella to help other children who have incarcerated parents with a
new website: www.childrenaffectedbyincarceratedparents.org.
Stuffed animals for kids
Her website (caipkids.org)
provides a variety of resources
including books and websites
that may be helpful to young
people. There’s even a mood
chart so that children can track
their ups and downs related to
helping them cope with having
a parent incarcerated.
“It shows kids (that) everyday is not going to be the same,”
she says. “Really, the intention
is to take it to a therapist.”
The idea of the website is
that she hopes to connect with
other teens who are going
through similar internal struggles after a parent is sent to
prison. They can also put their
own story up online to share
with others, “which I think will
be really empowering,” says
Gabriella.
In addition, after talking to a
number of police agencies, Gabriella and Palfrey discovered
how many times children are
caught off-guard when a parent

those police departments who
use stuffed animals to calm
frightened children after a
traumatic event, Gabriella purchased teddy bears that have

on a cape that she personally

In addition, they hope to use
some of the donations to spend
on those children who need financial help with counseling
sessions to help them cope
with having a parent in prison.
Taking a tour of the Dougy
Center in Portland, a home
that provides support for
young people who have experienced a death of someone
close, Gabriella’s long-term
hope is to build a similar home
where children with incarcerated parents can go and seek
counseling.
“That’s the long-term goal,”
Palfrey says.
Meanwhile, Gabriella continues to have the normal life of a
teen. She most recently sat on
the Mr. Bowman Pageant Committee, the high school’s annual fundraiser that raised more
than $56,000 for Doernbecher

Maintaining a 3.75 GPA, her
future plans are to attend an

Bridge farmhouse
By PATRICK MALEE
Pamplin Media Group
In March 1984, the historic
Field’s Bridge farmhouse
at 50 S.W. Borland Road
was thought to be in “good”
condition.
A Clackamas County Cultural
Resource Survey made that determination after formally evaluating the property, which was
estimated to have been built between 1890 and 1910. When the
survey was conducted, the classic two-story Victorian house
had recently been annexed into
West Linn, but was still years
away from becoming city property. The windows and white
paint job were intact, the Doric
porch columns still standing
strong.
The home surveyed in 1984 is
nearly unrecognizable now due
to a lack of upkeep as well as
weather damage and the simple
passage of time.
Last September, West Linn

but says even families earning
80 percent to 120 percent of the
area’s median family income
are having trouble finding affordable housing in Portland
these days
According to the federal government, the median income in
the Portland area is $48,580 for
an individual and $69,400 for a
family of four.
Saltzman recently commissioned a study on workforce
housing by Amy Edwards, a
limited duration employee at
the bureau with a background
in private financing. Titled
“Tools and Strategies for Facilitating Middle Income Housing
Development,” it was delivered
to his office Thursday.
The study said there is a clear
need in Portland for more housing for families supported by
construction workers, paramedics, graphic designers, teachers
and social workers. It found the
city offers a range of incentives
for housing serving families
earning up to 60 percent of the
area’s median family income,
but only limited incentives for
families earning up to 80 per-
cent and nothing above that.
“Subsidies exist for affordable housing, and the capital
markets provide for market rate
development, but no incentives
exist for middle income housing,” according to the study.
The study found that some
other cities already provide incentives for workforce housing,
including Austin and San Jose.
Saltzman says he will use the
study to help prepare a proposal for the council to consider in
the future. It could include extending such existing incentives as property tax and system development charge waiv-
ers to workforce housing.
“I don’t think I can convince
the council to support building
housing for those at the 120
percent level at this time, but
I’m hoping to get agreement on
at least 80 percent,” says
Saltzman.
Biggest boom
Saltzman is so convinced the
city has a shortage of moderately affordable housing that he
is the only member of the council to publicly support Mayor
Charlie Hales’ controversial
proposal to consider waiving
system development charges
for developers willing to build
market rate housing in the Old
Town/Chinatown area. Hales
believes waiving the city charges for streets, parks and the like
would encourage the construction of new housing with at least
some affordable units.
And Saltzman says he is
talking to developers about including affordable units in new
housing projects.
“We’re in the midst of the
biggest boom in multifamily
housing construction in many
years,” says Saltzman, referring to the numerous apartment buildings under construc-
tion or recently completed in
various parts of town.
State law prohibits the city
from requiring developers to
include affordable units in their
projects, but Saltzman says the
city has incentives it can offer
to encourage them, such as
property tax waivers.
“I’ve been meeting with
developers to remind them
about the incentives. I haven’t
clinched any deals yet, but I
might going forward,” says
Saltzman, who lists the conversations to date as involving Hoyt
Street Properties, Key Development and Unico Properties.
Stop Greed—Return Compassion
We believe that the large, steadily increasing income gap between TriMet’s top-level managers and
TriMet’s front line workers is toxic. It has killed these managers’ compassion and empathy for employees,
passengers and the community. It has created a pattern of self-serving behavior in which executives and
a handful of top technical people continue to receive over-budget salary increases while the majority of
workers – union and non-union alike – sees no raises at all.

s elected officials, we deal
with a multitude of critical issues every day. Who can we
work with to help boost local
job creation efforts? How do we encourage innovative entrepreneurs to locate
in our region? How best can we create
an infrastructure that supports our citizens in their day-to-day lives?
In a world that is driven by information and innovation, access to knowledge is an indispensable part of that infrastructure. This is not a new concept:
Andrew Carnegie believed that the single best path out of poverty was access
to knowledge, so he built libraries.
Today, access to high-speed Internet
is a critical part of our communities’
ability to prosper. In fact, we have
seen in multiple cases around the

High-speed broadband
builds communities
After Kansas City became the first Google Fiber city,
the area attracted so many new entrepreneurs and techfocused jobs that the metropolitan area is now regularly
referred to as “Silicon Prairie.”
Google Fiber has announced their interest in coming to each of our cities.
We’re long past the days when dialup access to the Internet was sufficient. In the 21st century economy, the
pace of business and the increasing
demands of society require fast, efficient, affordable broadband access.
In an evolving economy such as
ours, new jobs — from health care to
manufacturing — require fast access
to information and the ability to efficiently collaborate from multiple locations. Because of changes in how and
where we work, we have a need for
speed that extends beyond the con-
fines of an office. Google Fiber will
bring this speed, and will bring another high-speed Internet option to consumers. When multiple options exist
in the economy, consumers win.
For entrepreneurs and start-up
companies, broadly distributed access
to ultra-high-speed Internet is a necessity. Without it here in our region, entrepreneurs will look elsewhere; with
it, we can become a magnet for innovators. After Kansas City became the
first Google Fiber city, the area attracted so many new entrepreneurs

in the digital economy requires giving
students access to digital learning
tools, video-rich learning exercises
and online courses taught by the
world’s best and brightest. For too many of our students, home access to the
Internet is constrained by limited resources and slow speeds — and sometimes is not available at all. Google Fiber will help change that.
As the mayors of Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego and Tigard, we are excited about the prospects of taking a giant leap forward in
our cities’ technological and information infrastructure. We will work hard
to help make it happen.

system creates winners and losers, and
most of us in East
Portland are on the losing side
(Inequities tax some Rose City
neighbors, March 20).
Property taxes can be a considerable financial burden for
homeowners but are necessary
to fund the crucial services
needed by our communities —
public safety, schools, roads, libraries and more. The problem
with Oregon’s tax system is that
it is inherently unfair and creates a hidden subsidy for certain property owners while
shifting the burden of paying
for local services to others.
A recently released North-
west Economic Research Center report, prepared at the request of the League of Oregon
Cities, “Oregon Property Tax
Capitalization: Evidence from
Portland,” highlights these arbitrary inequities and describes
what a difference such flukes
can make to home prices.
The report looks at the relationship between property taxes paid and the housing market,
and comes to a disturbing conclusion: the system is not equitable, and some people pay less
in taxes and then benefit from a
higher selling price when they
sell their homes.
I represent families living in
East Portland, an area that happens to contain homes with
some of the lowest average sale
prices in the city. According to
the NERC study, my constituents are on average paying taxes on 77 percent or more of
their homes’ market value.

other parts of Portland. Under
Oregon’s tax system, taxes are
largely based on a property’s
market value in the mid-1990s.
Since property values have
grown unevenly since then,
inequities in property taxes
have emerged, particularly
in parts of inner North, Northeast and Southeast Portland,
where values have increased
significantly.
In neighborhoods like Boise,
Eliot, King, Humboldt, Sabin
and Woodlawn, homeowners
enjoy a considerable advantage
— on average, residents in
these neighborhoods pay taxes
on only 19 to 43 percent of their
homes’ value. According to the
report, these homeowners enjoy the benefits of the system
not once, but twice: they pay
less in taxes, and they see that
discount help grow the market
value of their homes. In fact,
property owners selling similar
homes in different neighborhoods can attribute between
$9,300 and $45,000 of potential
sale price to the whimsies of
Oregon’s property tax system,
according to the report.
Meanwhile, East Portland
neighborhoods have considerable but basic needs, such as
funding for sidewalks, street repairs and other city services.
The idea that we’re giving essentially a property tax break
to a doctor living in North Portland and no relief to a workingclass family in East Portland
seems inherently unfair, but
this is exactly what’s going on.
The property tax relief our system provides is not targeted. It
is arbitrary, imbalanced and
unfair.
We need to take a hard look
at our property tax system and
start to right these inequities.
Updating our system so that is
more equitable for all Oregonians should be a priority for
us all.

Author: Survival depends on calm action
Lake Oswego
At 90, Frank Heyl
is still helping
people who get lost
By CLIFF NEWELL
Pamplin Media Group
Nobody ever intends to get
lost. That is why it is so hard
to prepare for.
That being the case, it is fortunate that people like Frank
Heyl are around to help them.
A 90-year-old veteran of
World War II and a former
Lake Oswego resident for more
than 50 years, Heyl wrote the
book on survival. Literally. His
book “Why Some Survive,” cowritten with Richard O. Woodfin Jr., is full of case studies and
analysis of survival stories.
Heyl recently shared the high
points of his nearly 70 years of
knowledge at the meeting of
the Lake Oswego Adult Community Center’s Learning and
Technology Group.
The book, “Why Some Sur-
vive,” can be ordered on Amazon
.com.
Survival was never so fun as
in Heyl’s humorous yet insightful presentation, full of wise
suggestions and wonderful anecdotes. He got off to a strong
start by showing the audience
the very same clipboard he was
given by an officer one day
while he was serving the the
U.S. Air Force during World
War II. Heyl’s main task was
helping to ferry 15,000 planes to
Russia, but he was given another job.
“The clipboard read ‘Safety
and Emergency Procedures.’ I
told him, ‘I don’t know anything about that.’ He said, ‘You
can read can’t you?’ ”
Heyl suddenly was a survival expert, and he continued to
be one in the Korean War. Finally, the brass decided he
should learn something about
survival.
“Everything was in reverse,”
Heyl said. “I should have gone
to survival school first.”
However, he made up for lost
time by attending just about every kind of survival school under the sun. After retiring from

the service, he continued being
a rescue pilot and survival instructor in civilian life, putting
in 10,000 air hours searching
for people who were lost. He
became a survival expert of the
highest level.
Then, 55 years after being
handed the clipboard, Heyl was
told, “Why don’t you write a
book?” Heyl could even draw
from personal experience. As a
small child in Portland, he became lost once while shopping
with his mother on the sixth
floor of Meier & Frank.
“I yelled and screamed until
I was back with my mother,”
Heyl fondly recalled.
But today, he says yelling
and screaming won’t help if
you are lost in the wilderness.
It is even worse when you try
to walk your way out of getting
lost. Heyl said he has seen too
many cases when that kind of
action led to death. He says it is
much wiser to build a fire, get
in a shelter right at the spot
you are lost and try to do something to signal your plight, especially to a search plane flying
overhead.
The Heyl list for survival
items is: survival medicine;
shelter and clothing; heat from
an external force; food and water. He also recommends carrying not just one knife but two
(one a pocket knife and the
other a 4-inch knife that fits in
a sheath), Diamond matches
(because of their high sulphur
content) and fire starters.
There are also many intangibles involved with survival.
“All of the people who survived had a great will to live,”
Heyl said. “It also helps to pray
a lot.”
You don’t even have to believe in God to pray. Heyl told
the story of an agnostic who
got lost and survived. When
the non-believer subsequently
filled out a form about his ex-

survived had a great will

perience, he first mentioned
that he was an agnostic. He
later mentioned he prayed
when he got lost. Heyl was
flabbergasted.
The agnostic explained,
“They told us to try anything if
we got lost. It worked.”
Heyl says amen.
The combination of prayer
and smart preparation are usually enough to save you. But
Heyl has also seen some tragedies in his long career. One
time a man he knew became
lost in the wilderness and died.
Heyl wondered why.
“I had put together a survival kit for him,” he said. “They
found it in the trunk of his car.”
No one will ever catch Frank
Heyl unprepared. He’s a
survivor.
“I’ll soon be 91,” he said. “I
plan on being around a long
time.”
Columbia City retreats from gun regulations
Columbia City
City Council says
outdated rules run
afoul of gun rights
By MARK MILLER
Pamplin Media Group
Columbia City officials
have blocked the mayor of the
small town of his authority to
ban weapons from its streets
in the event of an emergency.
The March 20 decision by the
City Council met with applause
from a large crowd of gun rights
supporters.
The controversy focused on
an obscure section of Columbia
City code — adopted by the City
Council in November 2005 as
part of a larger ordinance on
emergency procedures in the
city — began when City Attorney Harold Olsen informed the
council in early March that a
provision allowing the mayor to
ban “the sale, carrying, or possession of any weapons or explosives of any kind” in public during a state of emergency appeared to conflict with state and
federal law. Olsen said he had
received complaints from both
gun rights advocates and gun
control proponents about the
provision.
During the meeting, Olsen
set out a draft ordinance
amending the 2005 section of
code to specify that the mayor
can only prevent the possession and carrying of a loaded
firearm in public during a state
of emergency — and establishing a long list of people exempt
from such a decree, including

Forest Grove schools, family Mercer Industries to ‘wind
down’
window
facility
duel with special ed lawsuits Closure of 88-year-old
Forest Grove
By NANCY TOWNSLEY
Pamplin Media Group
Attorneys have filed a pair
of dueling lawsuits involving a
student in the Forest Grove School
District’s special education program in federal district court in
Portland.
The first, brought by the parents of
the student, a Forest Grove High
School senior, asks the district to pay
$54,552 in attorney’s fees and court
costs related to due process complaints filed in 2011 and 2013, both alleging the district had not provided
their daughter a “Free and Appropriate Public Education” under federal
law and had interfered with their ability to “meaningfully participate” in
her education.
In the lawsuit, filed March 18, the
parents are identified only as “C.O.
and R.O.”
Ruling on the 2013 complaint to the
state superintendent of public instruction and the Oregon Department of
Education last December, state administrative law judge (ALJ) Joe Allen sided with the parents, saying the
district had violated the federal Indi-
viduals with Disabilities Education
Act in the case of the student.
After multiple breakdowns, communication between the parties has
occurred only through legal counsel
the last several years.
The other lawsuit, filed by the Forest Grove district March 18, appeals
the ALJ’s decision in the 2013 complaint, saying that the student — who
started attending classes in Forest
Grove as a sixth-grader — received
special education services due to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnoses and was on
track to graduate in June with a modified diploma and would qualify for
extended special ed services through
the district until she turns 21.
The parents’ 2011 complaint has
been “appealed and cross-appealed,”
district officials say, and awaits a decision by Judge John Acosta in U.S. District Court.
Diane Wiscarson of the Wiscarson
Law firm in Portland filed the lawsuit
on behald of the parents. Nancy Hungerford and Richard Cohn-Lee of Hungerford Law firm in Oregon City filed
the appeal on behalf of the district.
Forest Grove school officials have
been in court over special educationrelated matters more than once in the
past decade. The most notable lawsuit
— in which the parents of a former
district student known as “T.A.” sued
the district for IDEA violations —
twice reached the U.S. Supreme
Court.
In 2009, the nation’s highest court
ruled 6-3 in favor of T.A.’s parents,
agreeing with them that the Forest
Grove district owed them tuition reimbursement for their son, who had
never received special ed services
from the district. The parents alleged
the district should have qualified the
student, now in his 20s, under IDEA.
Instead, they pulled him from the district and enrolled him at a private
school in central Oregon.
The landmark case — which has its
own Wikipedia page, called “Forest
Grove School District v. T.A.” —
bounced between Oregon and Washington, D.C., for nine years before a
federal appeals judge ruled in 2012
that the district was not responsible
for paying the parents’ legal bills or
reimbursing them for tuition expenses they accrued after enrolling their
son at Mount Bachelor Academy, a
therapeutic boarding school near
Prineville.
That school closed in 2009 in the
wake of a state investigation into allegations of emotional abuse and sexual
role-playing at the facility.
operation will affect
70 employees
By SHANNON O. WELLS
Pamplin Media Group
After 88 years of business, Beaverton’s Mercer Industries, manufacturer of Mercer Windows, plans
to wind down manufacturing operations at its Southwest Denney
Road facility and close by this
summer.
Citing lingering effects of the Great
Recession, which saw a drastic slowdown in housing and commercial construction, the closure of the plant will
affect approximately 70 employees, including management, sales staff and
production workers.
Staffing will be adjusted to complete
existing orders, after which the plant
at 10760 S.W. Denney Road will close,
said Dan Boverman, Mercer’s chief restructuring officer. He and a member
of the Mercer family shared the news
with employees at a Monday morning
all-staff meeting.
The announcement included a revamped severance policy in which employees will receive one week of pay
for each year of service, from a mini-
mum of two weeks to a maximum of
eight weeks.
Founded in 1926 as Mercer Steel, the
privately held Mercer Industries most
recently manufactured commercial
and residential vinyl and aluminum
frame window and door products, with
an emphasis on energy efficiency, safety and innovation, noted Jim Rauh, the
company’s business relations liaison.
The company’s board of directors
commissioned a third-party business
and financial analysis of its manufacturing and sales operations that concluded an “orderly winding down of
operations” was the only course of action to preserve remaining value in the
organization’s assets, which include
several proprietary window design
technologies.
The company hopes to sell the manufacturing assets, but cannot continue
normal operations during the search
for a qualified buyer, noted Boverman,
who was brought on board to advise
the company and help manage the operation’s shutdown.
The company is not declaring bankruptcy and carries almost no debt.
Mercer will honor its sales, warranty, supplier, employee and other
commitments.
While the possibility exists of another window company acquiring Mercer’s business and assets, nothing of
that sort has been announced yet.

a marriage that would last 53 happy years and take
her from Indianapolis to New York City, Norwalk,
California, and Gresham Oregon, where they lived
for 15 years. Joan worked to model the morals of her
faith—but would always crack a smile at her husband’s
salty humor. She had a stubborn streak and wasn’t
one to hold back her opinions. But she was immensely
proud of her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren, and supported them in all they did.
Joan was passionate about genealogy and delighted in
gardening. She loved pearls, big band music, and would
unabashedly take seconds on dessert. She was preceded in death by her husband and her
daughter, Linda Louise Meriwether Hammer. She is
survived by her children, Patricia Ann Ward (OK),
Michael Paul Meriwether (OR), Amy Carol Roessner
(NV), John Curtis Meriwether (OR), and Mark Wesley
Meriwether (ID); 13 grandchildren; and 24 greatgrandchildren.”

Madelon Margaret
(Burcham) Hill, 95,
June 19, 1918
to March, 25 2014
One of 1,078…
Madelon Hill passed away peacefully on the
morning of March 25, 2014 surrounded by her family.
The matriarch of the Hill family, she was born in Des
Moines, Iowa, and graduated from St. Mary’s College
in Notre Dame, Ind., where she developed an interest
in aviation. Returning to Des Moines, she attained her
private pilot license – against the wishes of her father
– as WWII began. Learning of a new Army Air Corps
program, the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs),
and demonstrating her direct and pro-active nature, she
applied directly to the Chief of Staff for the Army, General
George Marshall, who forwarded her letter recommending
her for evaluation for acceptance into the program.
A leader for the women of the Greatest Generation,
she truly was a pioneer, as she completed U.S Army Air
Corps military pilot training and became one of only
1,078 women to successfully became qualified and rated
WASP’s. She became a rated instrument and training pilot
for the men being sent into combat overseas, becoming
qualified in many of the military aircraft of the time,
including the B-17 and B-26. Stationed at Las Vegas
Army Field, she met her future husband, best friend and
lifelong companion, Jack V. Hill, whom she married just
prior to his deployment to the Pacific Theater as a combat
B-29 pilot. They were married for almost 69 years until
Jack passed away in January of 2013.
A guiding hand, motivator and inspiration to her four
children, her two sons, Marty and Tom, shared her passion
for aviation and graduated from the US Air Force Academy
and US Naval Academy respectfully and both went on to
become fighter pilots in their services. Daughter Margaret
married an Air Force fighter pilot and is a Certified Medical
Assistant (CMA) in Bend, Ore. Daughter Nancy became a
long time, highly respected science teacher at Mountain
View High School in Bend, Ore.
In addition to being survived by her children, she
enjoyed being the grandmother to six grandchildren,
Bryan, Lauren, Bradley, Catherine, Douglas and Mathew
who preceded her in death; and six great-grandchildren,
Caitlyn, Mya, Brayden, Gavin, Ethan and Mathew.
Madelon lived a full, amazing, interesting and exciting
life, full of adventures and firsts for women of her
generation, and carved an inspirational legacy and path for
others to follow. She will be missed by all who knew her,
but especially by her family.
At present no service is scheduled and in lieu of flowers
it is requested donations be forwarded to the Oregon

Home or to

You’ve flown the flag. now what?
In the months since September 11th, 2001,
we have all witnessed a powerful resurgence of
the American spirit. But now, in a climate of new
threats, it’s clear that patriotism alone is not
enough. We must also learn to protect ourselves
and our families against future terrorist attacks.
There are three steps toward readiness.
These steps are fairly simple and inexpensive.
And they work.
MAKE AN EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT
In a sturdy container like a plastic trash can or
duffel bag, pack the items you and your family may
need in an emergency and set them aside.
Your kit should contain 72-hours’ worth of
supplies: A gallon of water per person, per day. A
three-day supply of non-perishable food. A firstaid kit. Clothes, sleeping bags and toilet articles.
Flashlight, extra batteries, scissors, plastic sheeting, duct tape. Also, a battery-powered radio is
essential. Be sure to write down the frequencies
of radio stations in your area that will broadcast
emergency announcements.
It’s also helpful to have a second, smaller kit
with a few essential items, something you can
grab in a hurry in case you’re asked to leave your
home for a few days.
MAKE A FAMILY COMMUNICATIONs PLAN
If your family knows where to go and what to
do in an emergency, they’ll save time and remain
calm. Here’s what your plan should contain: The
name and phone number of out-of-state relatives to
contact. ( Long-distance calling may be easier than
local calling.) A family meeting place near your
home and another one away from the neighborhood. An evacuation plan using alternative routes.
A designated room in your house in case authorities instruct you to “shelter-in-place.”
BE INFORMED
If there’s a terrorist attack on your city, local
authorities will broadcast information as quickly as
possible concerning the nature of the emergency
and what you should do next. Be sure to keep
listening for updates. What can you do right now? Get
information, educate yourself and your family. For
more details on emergency preparedness, visit our
website at www.ready.gov. Or get a free brochure
by calling 1- 800-BE- READY (1- 800-237-3239).

The report found that 15 percent of Americans 18 or older do

The leading reason, at 34 percent, was relevance, with respondents saying they are just
not interested, too busy or consider it a waste of time. The second reason was usability, with
concerns including a lack of
computer skills and worries
about hackers and viruses. The
third reason, at 19 percent, was
price, including the cost of a
computer.
Then again, many of the responses broke down along demographic lines, including race
and income levels.
“As in previous surveys, Internet use remains strongly
correlated with age, education,
and household income,” according to the Pew report.
“One of the strongest patterns

Winterhawks
The Victoria (48-20-1-3, 100
points) vs. Portland (54-13-2-3,
113 points), best-of-seven Western
Conference playoff series starts 7
p.m. Friday at Memorial Coliseum
and 7 p.m. Saturday at the Moda
Center, and continues next week
on Vancouver Island.
n The Royals swept Spokane
(outscoring the Chiefs 16-7) and
Portland swept Vancouver (outscoring the Giants 19-7) in round one.
n Victoria won three of four
games against Portland during the
regular season — all by 3-2 scores,
and all three in different ways. It
was 3-2 on Nov. 9 in overtime, 3-2
Jan. 4 in regulation and 3-2 Jan.
10 in shootout. The Hawks beat
Victoria 2-1 on Jan. 11, which
started the team’s epic 21-game
winning streak and wins in 32 of
33 games.
“It should be a great series,” says
Mike Johnston, Portland general
manager and coach. “We’re two very
evenly matched teams.”
n The Royals might have the best
goalie tandem
pair in the WHL,
with starter Patrik
Polivka (28-12-02, .915 save percentage, 2.56
goals against)
and Coleman
Vollrath (20-8-11, .928, 2.29).
PETAN Polivka started
and played every
game against Spokane.
Johnston says the Royals have
good skaters, too.
“They have four really good lines,
some depth up front,” he says, “and
six experienced defensemen. They’re
deep throughout their lineup.”
Although scoring 100 fewer
goals than Portland in the regular
season (238 to the Hawks’ 338),
the Royals had six players with 20
or more goals, led by Austin Carroll
with 34.
Brandon Magee led a list of
seven players with 47 or more
points, finishing the regular season
with 25 goals-42 assists-67
points. “Magee is really slick with
the puck,” Johnston says.
The Royals excel at defense.
They allowed 181 goals, second
fewest to Edmonton (179) and
fewer than Kelowna (182). “They
play a little bit more of a defensive
game,” Johnston says.
n Portland center Nic Petan, on
the Royals: “They’re a hard-working
team, tough to play against. It’s
going to be a hard round, for sure.
“They’ve got some skill up front.
We just have to take advantage of
their defensemen, because they’re
big and rangy. We have to use our
speed and skill. Nothing that
makes us afraid.”
n Portland has been clicking in
every phase of the game. How can
the Hawks be better?
“There’s always room for
improvement,” Petan says.
“Sometimes our defensemen are
not moving the puck quick enough
or the forwards are turning over the
puck. Those are two things that
would set our team back.
“All around, we’re a solid team.
We’re a skilled team. We have a lot
of maturity on our team, and I
think we’re the hardest-working
team in the league.”
Johnston agrees, saying the
breakout from the defensive zone
and passing in the offensive zone
remain keys.
n The other WHL second-round
playoff series have been set. It’s
Kelowna-Seattle in the West and
Edmonton-Brandon and Medicine
Hat-Kootenay in the Eastern
Conference. Kootenay upended
favored Calgary and coach Mike
Williamson, 4-2.
n Former players sometimes
move back to Canada to play university hockey. (Adam Rossignol,
for example, might go the college
route). By playing in the WHL, players become eligible for college
scholarships, and many continue
their careers (and education) north
of the border; Canadian universities allow such participation, U.S.
universities do not.
Kurtis Mucha, a former
Winterhawks goaltender, recently
led the University of Alberta Golden
Bears past the Saskatchewan
Huskies 3-1 to capture the
Canadian Interuniversity Sport
championship.
Mucha, 24, holds the WHL
record for most games (245) and
most minutes (13,786) by a goaltender. He played most of his
career in Portland before being
traded to Kamloops; he then
played some in the pro East Coast
Hockey League.
He’s also been noteworthy for
suiting up for the Edmonton Oilers
for a game against the Ottawa
Senators on March 4. A trade left
the Oilers without an emergency,

one-day NHL deal and sat on the
bench.

So the goal of returning for
the April 13 game against
Golden State, or the April 16
regular-season finale against
the L.A. Clippers, is gone?
“I’m still hoping,” he said,
“but I think that’s a stretch.”
Freeland said he is taking
his recovery and rehabilitation “day by day.”
“I’m approaching the seven-week mark,” he said. “It’s
frustrating me a little bit. I
still feel something in there
and a little bit of instability.
“There’s no pain, it’s just

when I first started feeling it.
But now, I’m ready for it to be

sooner rather than later.”
Freeland is shooting daily

what movement he can do. He

Blazers’ infrequent practice
sessions and isn’t sure when
he’ll be able to run full-speed.

boards in 51 games while

Lionel Hollins these

The former Trail
Blazers guard and NBA head
coach is working as a studio analyst for NBA-TV and hosts a
two-day-a-week NBA talk show
on Sirius radio.
“I’ve been so blessed,” says
Hollins, whose contract was not
renewed by the Memphis Grizzlies after last season. “I get to
see my kids more often. Recently saw my grand baby in Arizona. I’m reading books again.
Went grocery shopping the other day. I get to spend a lot of

over the years.
“The freedom to not be in a
gym, at practice, in a meeting ...
I’ve had an opportunity to enjoy
what life is all about again.”
Hollins will be in New York
City tonight to watch the youngest of his four children, Austin,
play what could be his final
game for Minnesota. Austin Hol-
lins, a 6-4 senior guard, is the
No. 2 scorer and assists leader
for the Golden Gophers, who
face Florida State in the NIT
semifinals at Madison Square
Garden. Austin had a careerhigh 32 points in Minnesota’s 8173 quarterfinal victory over
Southern Mississippi.
“He’s had a nice year,” the senior Hollins says. “I’m excited
for him. He’s a good kid. You like

“Of course,” Hollins says
when asked if he’d like to return
to the coaching ranks. “I miss
coaching. What I miss is the
teaching ... the development of
the team and the players. ... the
players working together and
watching them grasp it mentally, and then have them go out
and do it physically.”
Hollin pauses, then adds,

Harold Reynolds’ new gig starts
Saturday, when he teams with Joe
Buck and Tom Verducci for Fox
Sports’ telecast of the 1 p.m. Los Angeles-San Francisco game at Dodger

Reynolds recently signed on to take
the place of the retired Tim McCarver in
the booth alongside Buck. The Corvallis
native and former All-Star second baseman with the Seattle Mariners will work
eight regular-season games for Fox
Sports as well as the All-Star Game and
the entire postseason.
Reynolds will continue to serve as
studio analyst for MLB Network’s “MLB

from 7 to 10 p.m.
Reynolds took time last week for a
question-and-answer session with the
Portland Tribune.

How strong is the
American League East,

Toronto and Tampa
Bay? Are any of its

Reynolds: Paritywise, it could be the

team in that division
has the potential to win 90 games. You
don’t come across that, ever.

Baseball and softball are off
to promising starts at Central
Catholic High.
The baseball team, young but
experienced, took a 3-1-1 record
into the week. The softball squad,
which also has a mix of key
seniors and seasoned youth, is
rolling at 6-0.
n On the baseball diamond, the
Rams return eight starters, but have
only four seniors on their roster.
Senior leaders include Holden
Oglesbee and Anthony Brink, and
coach Dan Floyd says both junior
Cole Stringer and sophomore
catcher Ronnie Rust are among
his Division I prospects.
Junior Gabe Scanlon, Oglesbee
and Rust were second-team allMHC players a year ago, and
Stringer made the all-MHC first
team.
“A number of underclassmen
will end up playing college baseball, and some of them have
unlimited ceilings,” Floyd says.
Central Catholic posted victories
of 3-2 over Grant, 3-0 versus
Tigard and 5-3 against Dallas, and
finished in a 4-4 tie with
Beaverton.
The Rams’ sophomore lefthander, Sam Muskat, tossed a
two-hitter, with 13 strikeouts and
two walks, against the Tigers. Rust
fueled the offense in that game
with two triples. He also scored
all three runs and stole a base.
The Rams’ next five games are
away, including a Thursday clash
at West Linn and a Saturday doubleheader at Mountain View. After
an April 10 game at Jesuit, MHC
begins with an April 14-17 threegame series with Centennial.
The Rams made it to the second round of the 6A playoffs last
year, winning at Tualatin 3-2
before losing at Lake Oswego 7-5.
Injuries plagued the Rams, who
wound up 15-13 after placing
third in the MHC behind first-place
Reynolds and runner-up Barlow.
“This is a very good team that
hits the ball well and runs the
bases aggressively,” Floyd says.
“The season will come down to
defense and pitcher. Those are
areas where we have to improve, if
we’re going to have a chance at
making a run in the state playoffs.”
n On the softball field, Central
Catholic won its opener 1-0
against Jesuit, then outscored
Putnam, Beaverton, Hermiston,
Grant and Forest Grove by a combined 53-8.
Coach Sara Stauffer’s third
Rams club is showing good pitching and defense and especially
hitting.
“At Jesuit, we hit the ball well,
just right at people,” Stauffer says.
Since then, “our coaching staff
has been very, very happy with the
offense. We know if the bats are
there, we’re going to at least contend for” a Mt. Hood Conference
title.
The Rams finished 21-8 last
season. They took third in the

MHC at 10-5, trailing winner
Barlow and David Douglas. The
Rams got to the 6A quarterfinals
before falling to eventual state
champion North Medford 10-0.
Only two players graduated from
that 2013 team, and the returning
corps includes pitcher Katie
Barron and catcher Brittney
Duronslet, four-year starters.
“Katie is just smokin’ it by people; the batters haven’t caught up
to her yet,” Stauffer says. Barron
also has improved her control, the
coach says. The Rams, for
instance, hit 30 batters last season. This year, Barron is 5-0 with
an 0.93 ERA, with only four hit
batters to go with 55 strikeouts
and 29 walks in 32 innings.
Duronslet “has a cannon for an
arm,” Stauffer says, “is a good
leader, knows how to play the
game, knows Katie and can hit for
power.”
The infield includes sophomores Ashley Doyle at first base,
Jessie Nagae at second, Alexis
Newby at shortstop and Kylee
Hupmhreys at third, where freshman Grace Dooney also can step
in. All four of the infield sophs
were on the varsity last season.
Newby and Humphreys can serve
as back-up arms on the mound.
Doyle is on a tear, leading the
team with a .632 average, three
home runs and nine RBIs.
In the outfield are senior Hailey
Frilot in center, senior Koratney
Speidel in left or right, and senior
Abby LeDoux.
Juniors Taylor Maxwell (designated player) and Paris Sykes
(utility) add to the experience and
depth.
The Rams have a big week
ahead, facing three solid clubs.
CC is at Glencoe on Wednesday,
at home against Clackamas on
Thursday and at Sandy on Tuesday,
April 8.
Then comes the 15-game MHC
season, with Reynolds and possibly every team looking improved
from 2013.
“We don’t have a game where
we can take it easy,” Stauffer says.
“It’s going to be really fun and
competitive.”

As more and more reports of
health complications due to head
injuries surface, people have
ratcheted up efforts to protect athletes who suffer concussions.
The Oregon Senate is trying to
further that effort and recently
passed a bill with overwhelming
support that would require youth
sports leagues to recognize and
respond to possible concussions.
However, some worry that the
law could leave youth sports
coaches and other officials open to
potentially expensive lawsuits, and
deter them from continuing the
sport.
Oregon Senator Doug Whitsett
(R-Dist. 28) was one of just two
lawmakers who opposed the bill
amid civil liability concerns.
“I think that concussions are a
real concern,” he said. “My
concern, the way that bill is
written, is there are no violations
or any criminal act (citations) for
not following the rules of the new
law. The civil liability to me would
just be wide open . . . The bill is

The plan is for quarterback
Nathan Enderle to get his first
start and for ex-Oregon Duck
star Darron Thomas to come off
the bench when the Portland
Thunder visit the Los Angeles
KISS at 7 p.m. Saturday at
Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
“I’d like to see Nathan start
this week and see what he can
do, and give him a fair opportunity,” Thunder coach Matthew
Sauk says.
Both Portland QBs have been
spotty as Arena Football League
rookies, and the expansion
Thunder are 0-2 after losing at
home to San Jose 64-34 and to
Iowa 40-36
last week.
“Nathan
played better in
our first game;
Darron played
better in our
last game,”
Sauk says. “I’d
just like to see
ENDERLE
more consistency, and cut
down on our turnovers. In this
(arena) game, the guy who
doesn’t throw an interception
ends up being a starter.”
Enderle, a 6-4, 215-pounder
from the Idaho Vandals, has
completed 16 of 34 passes for
195 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions.
Thomas, 6-3, 215, has con-
nected on 30 of 58 for 260
yards with four TDs and three
picks.
Sauk says he would like to
see Thomas use his mobility
more than he did in the first two
games.
“He’s concentrating so
much on being
a throwing QB
in the pocket,
but I’d like to
see him scramble a bit more,”
the coach says.
THOMAS
Sauk points
to Spokane
Shock QB Erik Meyer, who last
year passed for 4,667 yards and
112 touchdowns, with only 11
interceptions, in 18 regular-season games.
“Meyer moves very well in the
pocket to create space to throw,”
Sauk says.
n The KISS, also a first-year
AFL club, are owned in part by
KISS rockers Gene Simmons
and Paul Stanley. The KISS are
1-1 going into their home debut,
“and they probably should be
2-0,” Sauk says, noting that L.A.
led the Orlando Predators 56-40
after three quarters before losing their opener 69-63 in overtime in Florida.
Steel Panther, another band,
will play at halftime Saturday on
the team’s silver field.
“I’m sure the KISS will be
doing crazy stuff, and there’ll be
loud music. It’ll be interesting to
see what our concentration level
is,” Sauk says.

The Portland Tribune Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Reynolds: Cano will make
‘huge difference’ for Seattle
up down the line. But it’s a
loaded division, no doubt
about it.
The Yankees have gotten
back in it. A year ago, they
didn’t spend as much money
and sort of wrote off the season. This season, they’re
loaded up.
When the Yankees are good,
it affects eve r yb o dy i n
baseball. The
Yankees have
made a statement, “We’re
ELLSBURY
coming after
you.” That forces everybody
else to reload, too.
Tribune: What kind of an impact will Jacoby Ellsbury have
with the Yankees? What kind of
a season do you expect from
him?
Reynolds: He’s going to be
great. Yankee Stadium is going
to be maybe even better for him
than Fenway Park was, because
of the short porch in right field.
He’s a guy who pulls the ball a
lot. That’ll help him.
The big key for Jacoby is
health. There’s no question
about his ability. If he stays
healthy, he’ll put up an All-Star
year. if he gets hurt again, you
worry about him.
Tribune: Michael Pineda, the
former Seattle Mariners pitcher
who has missed the last two seasons dealing with a labrum tear
in his pitching arm, has won the
fifth spot in the Yankees’ rotation. What kind of a season can
he have?
Reynolds: I watched Michael
throw (during spring training)
in Florida. It was the best I’ve
seen him. He looked like he did
in Seattle, throwing free and
easy, the ball exploding out of
his hand. He’s in shape, and he
has that great size. I don’t
know what he’s going to do after being out so long, but I was
very impressed with what I
saw.
Tribune: Atlanta has lost
starters Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy, both to Tommy
John surgery. Can the Braves
cover for them and be a playoff
team again?
Reynolds: It’s going to be
difficult, it really is. Before
those injuries, you could pencil them in with the (Washington) Nationals at the top in the
NL East. Now the Braves definitely drop down a notch. But
getting Ervin Santana is a big
help.
Plus, it’s not always how you
start. They have the potential in
the minors to make moves.
You’ll see them continue to try
to build that club through the
season.
And a positive about the
Braves, B.J. Upton, Dan Uggla
and Jason Heyward have all hit
well this spring. I don’t see them
having down years like they did
last year. B.J. tried to be too
much of a people pleaser, changing his swing and so forth, and
fell into a rut. I think he’s mentally back.
Tribune: What difference will
Robinson Cano make in Seattle?
Reynolds: A huge difference.
The thing about Cano, when you
see him every day, you recognize how great a player he is.
I’m not convinced the Mariners have enough around him
right now, but you can’t look at
this as a one-year deal. He
signed a 10-year contract. We’ll
have to see how the club performs around him the next
couple of years.
The crazy thing, with all the
injuries Texas and Oakland
have suffered, the Mariners find
themselves in the AL West race.
They have the pitching. They
could be competitive right out of
the gate.
The Rangers have lost their
whole rotation, plus (second
baseman) Jurickson Profar and
(catcher) Geovany Soto. The
A’s have lost Jarrod Parker and
A.J. Griffin. That leaves the
Mariners and the Angels as the
two teams that are relatively
whole.
Tribune: What do you know
about Mariners pitching prospect Taijuan Walker?
Reynolds: Love him. He hurt
his shoulder early in training
camp and didn’t throw a lot. I
think he’ll start the season in
the minors but be up by late
April or May. This kid’s ceiling
is incredible. He’s an athlete.
He’s only 21, but he’s going to be
one of those special pitchers
who comes along once in a generation. He has a fastball in the
mid-to-high 90s, a nice curveball and changeup. I don’t think
he has the stuff Felix (Hernandez) did at that age, but that
same kind of presence.
Tribune: Offer names of two
or three other rookies who you
think could make an impact this
season.
Reynolds: I like Nick Castellanos, Detroit’s young third
baseman. He’s
going to hit
with high average and power,
and he’s playing his natural
position.
I think in
Boston’s Xander Bogaerts,
you’re looking
ZUNINO
at the next
great shortstop
in baseball. He has the potential
to hit 20 home runs and play every day at short.
Seattle catcher Mike Zunino
has a chance to be another Buster Posey. I don’t know if he’ll hit
like Buster, but he can catch and
SUPERIOR CRAFT
throw and control a game. He’ll
have a big impact for that team.
Tribune: How good is Max
Scherzer, who won the Cy
Young Award last season with
an almost unbelievable 21-3 record? Can he replicate the kind
of season he had with Detroit?
Reynolds: He has the ability
to. I watched him throw a bullpen session the other day. His
confidence oozes. That’s the one
thing that stands out. His stuff is
electric. Now he has the confidence to go with it.
Tribune: What do you expect
from the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig
this season?
Reynolds: I love him. If they
can keep him out of trouble,
he’ll be something special. He’s
going to drive you crazy. One
day he’ll be throwing to the
wrong base or taking unnecessary chances on the base paths.
The next day he’s hitting a ball
500 feet, and you’re amazed.
That’s the story with Puig.
The question will be how soon
he learns to play the complete
game of baseball, but they’re going to try to build the franchise
around him.
Tribune: The Dodgers have a
payroll of $235 million, knocking
the Yankees from the top spot in
baseball for the first time in 15
years. Will they get their money’s worth?
Reynolds: I think they will.
The question is, will they win
the World Series? I don’t know
about that. But with the roster
they have, they are putting a
product on the field that people
want to see. They have a chance
to win the NL West and go deep
in the playoffs. That brand is
worth watching again. They’re
getting their money’s worth, no
doubt.
Tribune: Who do you like to
get to the World Series? Pick a
Series champion.
Reynolds: I have the Nationals and the Tigers going to
World Series, with the Tigers
winning it all.
The Nationals are a deeper
club than the Dodgers. They
have a bench that can handle
the injuries that happen with
every club. They can go deep
into the minor leagues for talent with players other teams
are going to want. They’re sitting in a good position to keep
that machine going.
The reason I like the Tigers
is the experience of having
been (to the AL championship
series) last year, to the Series
two years ago, and the way
they’ve done it the last couple
of seasons. With Scherzer and
(Justin) Verlander and Miguel
Cabrera, they have guys who
have been there. The experiences they’ve had make them
ready to be champions. I think
they’ll win it this year.

free-falling out of the NBA playoffs
just one week ago, forgetting all
about LaMarcus Aldridge, as well
as the up-and-down nature of just
about every team in league history
short of the 72-10 Chicago Bulls of
1995-96. Now the Blazers are

one in a shootout), but the Royals
and Hawks haven’t seen each
other since Jan. 11. The series winner is likely to face Kelowna, which
had the league’s best regular-season mark and is favored against
Seattle in the other West semi.

their National Women’s Soccer

Hollins puts himself in the
category of a guy doing it the
right way, but not getting rewarded. And he has a point.
When he took over the Memphis job in January 2009, the
Grizzlies had lost 126 of 175
games over the previous 2 1/2
seasons under Tony Barone and
Marc Iavaroni.
Gradually, Hollins built a winner, from 40-42 his first full season in 2009-10 to 46-36 to 41-25 in
the strike-shortened 2011-12
campaign to 56-26 in 2012-13, advancing to the Western Conference finals before being ousted
by San Antonio.
Within 10 days, Hollins — who
had worked his final season as a
lame duck on the final year of
his contract — was gone. How
could it happen?
Hollins fell victim to a change
in ownership and management.
Former owner Michael Heisley
sold the club to a group led by
California tech billionaire Robert Pera, now 36. Jason Levien,
an attorney and former sports
agent who had worked in the
front office of the Sacramento
Kings, became CEO and managing partner of the Grizzlies.
Levien took over the basketball
operations from Chris Wallace,
who remains the club’s vice
president/general manager in
title only.
“It seemed like they had their
minds made up when they came
in,” Hollins says. “They had an
agenda of how they wanted to
do things, and what they wanted
to spend. I didn’t fit into that.
“I can accept that. It’s their
prerogative. But when you look
at the big picture, you say, ‘Wow,
you’ve had some pretty good
success.’ If I were at FedEx, for
instance, I wouldn’t fire the employees who made it successful.”
The night the Grizzlies were
eliminated from the playoffs,
Hollins and his then-agent, Warren LeGarie, met with Levien for
2 1/2 hours.
“When I walked out of there, I
thought I was coming back,”
Hollins says.
Levien offered no public explanation, issuing only a statement that the club had decided
to go in a different direction and
thanking the coach for his work
with the franchise.
Joerger, who had been an assistant with Memphis since 2007
and had served 4 1/2 years under Hollins, was signed to a
three-year contract with a team
“I once asked

body why. That’s fine. But don’t
try to say it’s because of a young
player’s inefficiency. That’s not
why you traded him.”
It would appear Pera and
Levien were uncomfortable with
Hollins — a man nearly twice
their age — and more comfortable with Joerger, 39. And also
more comfortable with the salary he is making.
“Again, that’s OK,” Hollins
says. “But don’t put out there
that they got rid of the coach because he doesn’t communicate
well, he’s too hard on players,
that they want to create a
friendly culture. That’s all propaganda. Just say, ‘His numbers
were too high for what we wanted to pay.’ “
Hollins is reluctant to speak
on the subject. Only with prodding from a reporter he has
known since 1977 is he willing to
reveal such thoughts.
“For a while, it was very
hard to accept,” he says. “For a
while, I was in a depressed state.
When something like that happens, you blame yourself. You
wonder what you could have
done differently.
“At some point, you come to
grips with it. It had nothing to
do with me. They made that decision because that’s the decision they wanted to make.”
Hollins says he has found
himself pulling for the Grizzlies
as the season has moved on.
“I’m happy for Zach, Tayshaun, Mike Conley, Marc Gasol,
Tony Allen,” he says. “All those
guys I’ve coached, I’m excited for
them. I would be wrong to root
against them having success. I
would even be wrong to root
against the Grizzlies to have success. I’ve been fired before. Life
is too short to be miserable.”
After being fired, Hollins interviewed for vacancies with
Denver and the Los Angeles
Clippers.
“With the Nuggets, I don’t
think I was high on their radar,”
he says. “If Doc (Rivers) had
stayed in Boston, I think I’d have
been the Clippers coach. Doc
was the better fit, and he’s a
great coach. They made a good
hire there.”
Hollins says he chose not to
pursue an assistant coaching job
in the NBA. “I’ve been a head
coach the last five years,” he
says.
Would he take a head coaching job in college? “It would
have to be a really good opportunity,” he says.
Does Hollins think he’ll get
another NBA head-coaching
job?
“I have no idea,” he says. “I
think I will, but with certainty?
No. I have confidence I will, yes.
But we’re in a crazy business.”
Hollins has a new agent, Steve
Kauffman, and a portfolio that
merits another head-coaching
job.
“I’ve had several coaches I
know ask, ‘How in the world can
Lionel not have a job?’ “ Kauffman says. “It’s the hardest thing
to predict, because you don’t
know how many jobs will be
open. There could be as few as
two or three. Among the veteran
coaches — nothing against the
other guys — Lionel is generally
rated a more desirable commodity. If a team goes in that direction, he has a very good chance
to get a job.”
Hollins is one of the bright
minds in the business. Yeah,
he’s old-school, but so are Karl
and Gregg Popovich and Rick
Adelman. Hollins knows how to
win, and there’s an owner out
there who will want his expertise and know-how and be willing to pay it.
My bet is, Hollins’ life is about
to get complicated again.

Joel Freeland of the Trail Blazers shoots over Sacramento’s Chuck
Hayes. Freeland says he has been a little frustrated with the length of
his recovery time from a sprained knee ligament, which has kept him
off the court for the past 23 games.
Eggers: Positive
attitude pays off
■ From page B1
searching for the right words
here,” Portland coach Terry
Stotts said. “We’ve missed his
energy, his toughness, his intelligence on the court.
“His game complements
(that of) L.A. and Robin, and
Thomas (Robinson’s), too. He
defends each position. He can
make the perimeter jump shot.
He can go inside and outside.
He plays extremely hard. He’s
one of those guys, when he’s
on the court, you know he’s
out there.”
Assistant coach Dale Osbourne indicates there are few
players he has enjoyed working with more than Freeland.
“Joel is always positive,” Osbourne said. “Everything
we’ve asked him to do as a
staff, he’s done. He’s a worker.
His attitude has paid off for
him in the long run. He never
complains. He’s been a team
guy from the beginning. He’s a
great all-around person, and
he’s been an important player
for us.”
Freeland admitted to having difficulty dealing with the
injury and his time away from
the court.
“It’s not been good, especially when you know you could
be helping the team,” Freeland said. “It’s the first time
I’ve ever had a real injury and
been out for an extended period of time. It’s a learning process, just something I’m going
through for the moment.”
Freeland said he is trying
to stay patient under the
guidance of Chris Stackpole,
the Blazers’ first-year director of player health and
performance.
“I don’t want to rush back if
it will cause me problems in
the future,” Freeland said. “I’m
going to wait on Chris’ opinion, and the doctors’ opinion,
and go from there.”
Freeland seems positive the
knee won’t require off-season
surgery.
“It will heal up by itself,” he
said. “It just takes time.”
A commodity Freeland and
the Blazers have precious little
of right now with the postseason fewer than three weeks
away.

LIFE B7
By STEPHEN ALEXANDER
The Tribune
When I told my fiancée
Sarah that I was going to read
a book based on the “Veronica Mars” TV show and movie,
she rolled her eyes. I understood her skepticism. Books
based on TV shows or movies
are usually not worth the paper they are printed on and
are certainly not worth extra
paper to review them.
Yet, “Veronica Mars: The
Thousand Dollar Tan Line”
(Random House, $15.95) was different. The book is collaboratively written by Rob Thomas,
the creator and writer of the
“Veronica Mars” TV show and
the movie, and Jennifer
Graham, a Reed College alumnus. It is a strong mystery that
could stand on its own even
without the TV show and movie.
A bit of the backstory on the
“Veronica Mars” phenomenon:
It began as a TV show in 2004
about a teenage private eye.
It became a cult
classic, but ran
only
three
years before it
was canceled,
plotlines unfinished. In 2013 a
Kickstarter
GRAHAM
campaign netted more than
$5 million in donations from
fans to get a movie made. The
movie, which picks up 10 years
after the series ended, was released earlier this month.
Stephen King described the
character of Veronica Mars as
“Nancy Drew meets Philip Marlowe,” and the book remains
true to most of what made the
show and the movie captivating.
The book picks up a few
months after the movie left off
with Veronica running her father’s P.I. company. It is spring
break in the fictional town of
Neptune, Calif. Amidst the decadent partying, a girl goes missing. With the inept Neptune
sheriff unable to handle the investigation, Veronica is called in
to unravel the mystery, which
becomes more complicated as
the story progresses.
The book is far darker than
either the series or the movie,
taking on a deliciously noir tone.
Veronica’s life is in peril on several occasions. The language is
much coarser than could be
heard on TV or in a PG-13 movie.
One of the best things about
the show was the dialogue.
While the book tried to make
Veronica witty, it fell short. In
fairness, perhaps the reason the
dialogue in the show and movie
was so entertaining was the
adorably sassy way the lines
were delivered by Kristen Bell,
who played Veronica. (As a side
note, Bell narrates the audiobook, and it would be interesting to hear whether she is able
to bring the dialogue to life).
That said, the book makes up
for the dialogue by
getting inside Veronica’s head in a way the
show and movie never
could have. The thirdperson voice Thomas
and Graham have developed for Veronica
is pitch perfect.
After the show
and movie spent so
much time focusing
on Veronica’s relationship with her on-again/offagain boyfriend Logan Echolls,
it was disappointing that the
book left him by the wayside.
Logan, on military duty, ap-
pears just twice in video chats
with Veronica. However, the
book does include cameo appearances by fan favorites
such as Wallace Fennel (Veronica’s best friend), Weevil
Navarro (the former biker
gang leader with a heart of
gold) and Dick Casablancas
(the goofy frat boy).
Computer genius “Mac” takes
on a large role. Veronica’s relationship with her father is not
quite as interesting as it was in
the show or movie, but it serves
its purpose. The book also
brings back a character from
Veronica’s past. And while I will
not spoil the surprise, Veronica’s relationship with the character becomes the
emotional axis on
which the story
turns.
The best thing the
book has going for it
is the plot. Had the
show and movie never existed, the story
could stand on its own
in the world of P.I.
mysteries.
“Marshmallows” —
what Mars fans call themselves
— will love it and it’s a good
enough story to turn someone
unfamiliar with Veronica Mars
into a Marshmallow.
Beer: Brewer vows to persevere in business
■ From page B8
“It turned out the landlady I
rented this place from may have
been a little bit of a scammer,”
McIntosh-Tolle says.
“So the building was in default, which was not revealed,
and then it went into foreclosure, which she didn’t tell us
about, and we found out when
there was a notice on the door,
just ... plastered on to the front
of the door that there were new
owners.
“Fortunately, the new landlords who bought the place at
foreclosure auction held all of
our leases to be valid anyway;
they didn’t make an issue of
that, but it took a month and a
half to get a new signed lease
from them, which meant that
all of my licensing came to a

sudden freeze, because the
feds needed a signed copy for
the alcohol tax and trade bureau, the OLCC needed a
signed copy for their brewpub
licensing — everything depended on getting a signed
copy.”
Unable to provide the Oregon Liquor Control Commission or Alcohol Tax and Trade
Bureau with a signed lease,
McIntosh-Tolle says, “that was
this big delay, and it was very
nerve-wracking at first.”
Just recently, he says, several other problems have arisen,
including the building’s sewer
line turning out to be privately
owned and not legal, and the
building’s required premises
isolation valve on the water
line, which his former landlady
had assured him was in place,
did not actually exist.
“I have to pay to install one.
It’s $570 for the inspection fee
for it — not actually the valve,
which you have to hire some
one to install,” McIntosh-Tolle
says. “I would prefer to just
trust people.”
In early March, McIntoshTolle encountered what was
possibly the brewery’s most
hampering, and certainly its
most bizarre, obstacle yet.
International Building Code
requires the landing on each
side of a door to be the same
height and continue in the direction of travel for 44 inches before
there is a step up or down, he
explains.
“Basically, the door is not OK
the way it is, and there is no
way to change it,” he says. “I
didn’t build the door; it is the
same as it has always been, but
it does mean that I am not al-
lowed to have the public enter
my space.”
McIntosh-Tolle says he is
looking into whether he can
sell beer to passers-by through
a doorway onto the sidewalk.
Whatever comes of that, he
says, “the plan at this point is
to produce three types of ale in
22-ounce bottles that’ll be sold
mostly wholesale — so, to bigger bottle shops, gluten-free
restaurants, specialty restaurants, bars — things like that,
places that want real local
product or gluten-free product
and sell at some retail.”
And someday, he adds, he
hopes to open his own brewpub. For now, though, “my goal
is really just to make beer that
happens to be gluten-free,” he
says. “It’s strictly gluten-free,
but the point is to make good
beer.”

DOC SPOTLIGHT
A significant movie happening on the horizon:
Care to learn more about
how Big Oil has impacted our
world? The Hollywood Theatre, 4122 N.E. Sandy Blvd., will
be showing the documentary
“Big Men,” April 5 and 6 (tickets $6 check hollywoodtheatre.
org for times). It’s a fast-paced
documentary through the
world of African oil deals,
eavesdropping on meetings
where the fate of billions of dollars has to sometimes go
through the terror of armed
militants who’ve given up on
the money trickling down. The
film follows explorers of Dallas-based oil company Kosmos
Energy, which discovered and
developed the first commercial
oil field in Ghana.
emergence of Multnomah Whiskey Library, which has proven to
be extremely popular.
Bootlegger’s, featuring cocktails based on higher-end whiskeys, scotches and other spirits,
along with a small-plate appetizer menu with items such as
meatballs, bruschetta, meat-andcheese platters and oysters, is
certainly a twist on Central Beaverton’s well-established nightlife options.
Bootlegger’s rustic, old-Westlike ambience comes courtesy of
a tin and wood-beamed ceiling,
tables on wooden whiskey barrels, old Mason jar lights with
vintage Edison bulbs and wooden stools with leather seats.
While the decor featuring vintage photos of speakeasys and
news clippings of infamous 1920s
mobsters Al Capone and Lucky
Luciano further the Prohibitionera theme, it’s the drinks that
drive the point home.
“The drink menu is Prohibition themed,” says Knutsen,
who’s worked as a bartender at
Broadway Saloon for four years.
“We’re going back to classic
drinks that people don’t do a
whole lot of now. Old fashioneds,
sidecars, Manhattans, things
you don’t see as much. Our juices are fresh squeezed and the
bitters homemade.”
Doug Carpenter, Todd’s cousin, who helped bring Bootlegger’s to life, says about 100 different bottles will reside behind the
simulated coal-via-black barn
wood bar.
“Just whiskey will be about a
third of that,” he says, noting the
bar will also be defined by what
it doesn’t have. “It’s hard to find
a bar to go in and have a conversation where there’s not a TV
screen or video poker in the
background.”
McQuade sees Bootlegger’s as
fitting in with city leaders’ plans.
“It helps create more of a
draw into the old town Beaverton area,” she says. “There’s
more reason to come down here.
It’s a quaint area, kind of a hidden secret.
“We can’t compete with downtown Portland,” she adds. “This
is just something different, with
a fun spin to it. We just wanted to
have fun doing it. We have a lot
to share with everybody.”

Daniel McIntosh-Tolle stands outside his brewery-to-be, Moonshrimp Brewing, at Southwest Barbur Boulevard and 22nd Avenue. A Portland native, McIntosh-Tolle vows to make his business happen — at least selling his
gluten-free beer — despite many logistical hurdles.
HEALTHY
BEER?
■ Grassroots brewer Daniel
McIntosh-Tolle fights red tape
to open gluten-free brewery
W
hen you have a dream,
sometimes everything just
falls into place, and other
times everything just falls
apart. Daniel McIntosh-Tolle, owner and
founder of startup beer-maker Moonshrimp Brewing, has experienced a little
of both, and he is determined to make
his dream come true.
A lifelong Southwest Portland resident
and Wilson High School graduate,
McIntosh-Tolle, 29, was never a big beer
drinker during his time at Lewis & Clark
College, but about six years ago he started getting caught up in Portland’s beer
culture. Around that same time, he was
diagnosed with celiac disease, a chronic
nutritional disorder caused by faulty absorption of gluten in the intestines.
Since gluten is a substance found in
wheat and other grains, and beer is made
from barley, beer is anathema to people
with the celiac ailment.
“I was just starting to get into beer and
enjoy the craft beer movement when diagnosed, and it was like, ‘No more beer,’”
McIntosh-Tolle says. However, “a friend
of mine who used to live on Barbur (Boulevard) made me a batch of gluten-free
beer. That got me interested in homebrewing.”
It was his wife who suggested that he
start a gluten-free brewery — though it
took a while for him to come around to
the idea.
“My first response to her was, ‘No,
that’s crazy.’ It just seemed insane, like,
‘Me, start a brewery?’ ” McIntosh-Tolle
recalls. “And then a month later I went up
to her and I went, ‘I think I should start a
brewery!’ and she said, ‘Yeah, I know.’”
McIntosh-Tolle’s quest to fulfill his
Brewing gluten-free beer is not a novel concept, but it’s something near and dear to Daniel
McIntosh-Tolle’s heart — brewing a beer he can consume, as someone who has battled celiac
disease.

dream of owning his own business serves
as evidence of what can happen to even
the most enthusiastic.
McIntosh-Tolle spent the next five
years laying the groundwork for this endeavor, known as Moonshrimp Brewing.
Now living in Southwest Portland’s Maplewood neighborhood, he leased a space
in the nearby Multnomah neighborhood
at 8428 S.W. 22nd Ave., off Barbur, and
then on May 20 of last year launched a
monthlong campaign on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.
“I’m not sure I did everything in the
right order,” he says. “I got this place first
and signed the lease and had it locked
down before I started the Kickstarter
campaign, so I could say I have a place,
which helped the Kickstarter be successful, but meant I was paying rent over
time.”
Premature rent paying turned out to be
the least of his problems.

RAISING THE BAR
Bootlegger’s Whiskey Bar to bring lounge-feel to Beaverton
By SHANNON O. WELLS
Pamplin Media Group
Sandcastle dreamin’
COURTESY OF CANNON BEACH SANDCASTLE CONTEST
Eager contestants are starting to plan and design what they want to build in the milestone event of the
Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest. It’ll be the 50th year of the contest on June 21 — an event that had an
ignominious beginning after the March 1964 Alaska earthquake that created a tsunami that hit the
Northwest coast. Cannon Beach flooded and Ecola Creek bridge washed away, and residents started the
sandcastle contest as a way to move on from the devastation. Professional sand sculptures and skilled
amateur teams, families and children take part. For more information, visit cannonbeach.org or “Cannon
Beach Sandcastle Contest” on Facebook.
When plotting a new watering hole next to
a popular bar you already own, the winning
formula is one that draws in brand-new customers while also enticing regulars to check
out what’s happening next door.
With Bootlegger’s Whiskey Bar, located to the
left of Broadway Saloon at 12434 S.W. Broadway
St. in Beaverton, it seems Carla McQuade and her
business partners Todd Carpenter
and Karmen Knutsen, have their
creative juices flowing in the right
direction. The cozy, dimly lit, Prohibition-themed lounge, which they
plan to open in early April, offers a
decisive alternative to the more
boisterous, pub-like environs of
Broadway Saloon, the downtown
Beaverton mainstay McQuade
has run for two years.
McQuade and Carpenter, her
domestic partner, purchased the
space next door that most recently housed Potter’s Christian
Church and a travel agency before that. The two spaces have
separate entrances, but share a
storage area in the back.
“We had to rent it out anyway,” McQuade says.
“We thought, ‘What are we gonna do with this
area?’ It’s got a storefront. How about something
quaint, like a whiskey bar? Something new to the
Beaverton area that’s cozy and friendly.”
The idea marinated for nearly a year.
“We talked about it and kind of sat on it for a
while,” she says. “Then we finally decided to move
on it.”
The Bootlegger’s owners started remodeling
last summer, and it was essentially complete by
late December. A miscommunication with city of
Beaverton building inspectors, however, required
some plumbing and wiring projects to be
disassembled and reworked.
Now waiting on word from
city officials, McQuade is
hopeful the new venture
will open its doors soon.
“I kind of always wanted
to complement the
Broadway (Saloon),” she
says. “We have a lot of
people leave next door
because there’s nowhere
to sit. It’s something
unique.”
Portland has seen the
