Fix the
economy
Lawmakers from both
parties want to see
growth across state
By PETER WONG
Salem Bureau
Even as Oregon continues
its recovery from the downturn that started seven years
ago, for returning Gov. John
Kitzhaber and incoming lawmakers of both parties, it’s
still the economy, stupid.
While differences remain between Democrats and Republicans — and their allies in labor
and social services and businesses — they agree there’s more
work to be done on economic issues in the legislative session
that opens Jan. 12.
“The priorities we heard from
voters were the
economy and
education,”
says House
Speaker Tina
Kotek, D-Portland. “Not everyone is finding success in
our economic
recovery, so the
KITZHABER
question is how
we make sure
that people who are working
hard are getting ahead.”
Democrats will remain in
charge of the Oregon Legislature. They added one seat in the
House for a 35-25 majority over
Republicans, and at least one
seat in the Senate for a 17-12 majority. Undetermined is a Senate
seat held by Republican Bruce
Starr of Hillsboro. That race
seems to be breaking in favor of
Democrat Chuck Riley, who is
ahead by 221 votes.
“Democrats have enough
votes to pass things through
both chambers, so I look for
them to do quite well with what
they want,” says Ed Dover, a political scientist at Western Oregon University.
It will be only the second time
in Kitzhaber’s record tenure as
governor that Democrats will
have legislative majorities. Democrats are still short by one vote
in each chamber to approve higher taxes and fees without Republican support.
Kitzhaber will return for a
fourth nonconsecutive term with
just under 50 percent of the votes
tallied last week. Still, he defeated Republican Dennis Richardson by 5 percentage points, more
than his win four years ago of 1.5
percentage points against Republican Chris Dudley.
Sen. Jackie Winters, a Republican from Salem returning for
her fourth term, says there is already bipartisan support for economic action in the form of the
Oregon Business Plan.
“We cannot talk about how vibrant we are as a state without
creating economic growth in rural areas,” she says. “I am hoping
it will be high on everyone’s priority list.”

Peroz Khoshnaw is dealing with two family tragedies at once, mourning a son who died fighting ISIS and a son
who is heading to prison after being convicted of a Forest Grove murder.

Peroz Khoshnaw sat on a

the Washington County Courthouse Oct. 14, clutching her
prayer beads while awaiting
opening statements in the trial of Niaz Mohammed Khoshnaw, her youngest son. Three

anymore.”
The City Council will hold a public hearing Nov. 20 on a revised street fee proposed
that could raise $46 million a year.
Mayor Charlie Hales and City Commissioner
Steve Novick announced the hearing Monday
morning. The City Council could vote on it as
early as Dec. 3.
The revised fee unveiled at a press conference is different from what Hales and Novick
first presented in May. It was revised after numerous public complaints with the help of three
work groups.
“No one loves a tax, but we think more people
will be willing to go along with what we’re putting on the table today,” Hales told reporters.
So far, no other city commissioner has publicly said he or
she will support the proposal.
Hales said he and Novick hope
all five council members will
vote for it.
Hales and Novick are still
not offering to place the fee on
a ballot for approval, however,
a sore point among many Portlanders. Commissioners Nick
Fish and Dan Saltzman have
both said they would not support the fee without it being
referred to the voters.
“We think this is a difficult
decision we are elected to
make,” Hales said. “Sometimes
you have to make decisions
that are unpopular, but you
have to do your job.”
The residential portion of
the revised fee is now a progressive personal income tax
instead of a flat monthly fee on
households. The business portion is a sliding fee based on
the number of employees,
square footage, and gross revenue of each businesses. The
original proposal was an estimate of motor vehicle trips

mayor
And, the revised fee would
raise $46 million a year, not $53
million as first proposed.
But the funds would still be distributed
among street maintenance and safety projects,
as Hales and Novick have always insisted. Although they first proposed the fee in response
to a series of audits about Portland’s poorly
maintained streets, Hales and Novick have consistently said the city must also invest in safety
projects, such as sidewalks and better marked
crossing on heavily travelled streets, especially
in East Portland. The proposed split is 56 percent maintenance and 44 percent safety projects.
Under the proposal released Monday, the personal income tax is capped at $75 a month. It
also includes a $5,000-per-child deduction. Payments would also be deductible on state and
federal income tax forms.
According to the Portland Bureau of Transportation, a couple making $40,000 to $60,000 a

istan to Portland and the horrible price the family may
have paid for fleeing violence
in their homeland.
Fleeing Saddam Hussein
Peroz’s heartache began
long before the October trial.
In the late 1980s, her husband,
Mohammed, was a member of
the Peshmerga and was fighting against Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein during the
Iran-Iraq war when Hussein
began attacking the Kurds.
Peroz fled to the mountains
with her three young sons
and a daughter, placing them
on a donkey and walking beside them to what she hoped
would be safety. Instead, she
found herself with no food, in
frigid temperatures and snow.
For weeks, they huddled in
caves and behind rocks. When
Hussein began dropping toxic
chemicals on Kurdish villages, killing thousands of civilians (including Mohammed’s
father and other family members), Peroz and her children
were high enough in the
mountains to survive.
But they had to huddle under a wet blanket and use a
charcoal fire to keep the
chemicals at bay, she said.
Her respiratory system never
totally healed.
Although her three sons escaped the chemicals, they
died before they could return
to the village — whether by
freezing or starving Peroz
doesn’t know.
A few years later, during
the Gulf War, Mohammed
helped the Americans fight
against Hussein. In 1997, United States forces warned Mohammed that his aid to the
U.S. had put him and his family at risk. They offered him
political asylum in the U.S.
After stays in Turkey,
Guam and Texas, the family
ended up in Portland in 2001
and were there when terrorists attacked the United States
on Sept. 11.
Rezan remembers being

attackers were Kurdish, most
Americans know nothing
about Kurds, but simply lump
all Muslims together.

A year later, a young eyewitness with a haunted, remorseful conscience contacted police and identified the
murderer as Niaz Khoshnaw
in what witnesses described
in court as a Washington
County gang dispute.

know has a great sense of humor, a knack for math and
loves playing with his preschool-age nephews.
Niaz Mohammed Khoshnaw sits with his lawyers in Washington County
Circuit Court last month at his trial for the killing of a Forest Grove
man during what was thought to be a gang conflict. He was convicted
of the murder.
“He was always lovely to

32, now Peroz’s oldest living
son.
Since Niaz’s 2012 arrest,

have come to realize that he

“I’m not trying to sound stu-

been in court listening, that is
when I probably learned the
most about gangs.”
Before he was arrested,
Niaz had an explanation for

Law firm hired to PDXBriefly

City OKs $60,000
contract to investigate
employees’ role
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
Portland is conducting a
personnel investigation into
cost increases at the controversial new Bureau of Environmental Services office
building.
The city attorney’s office has
signed a contract with the Barran Liebman law firm to “provide expert services services
and advice to the city regarding a Personnel investigation.”
The Portland Tribune obtained
the contract through a public
records request.
Although the contract does
not say who is being investigated, BES Director Dean Marriott has been placed on paid
leave by Commissioner Nick
Fish, who is in charge of the
bureau. When Fish announced
that Marriott had been placed
on leave, he said the city had
retained Barran Liebman to investigate the findings of an audit into the building.
The city auditor’s office released the audit of the Columbia Boulevard Waste Water
Treatment Plant in North Portland on Oct. 22, the same day
the city attorney’s office and
the law firm signed the contract.
According to the contract,
Managing Partner Edwin
Harnden and Parnter Paula
Barran will be paid $350 an
hour for the investigtion. Associate Sean Ray will be paid $225
an hour. Paralegals will be paid
$125 an hour. The maximum
payment is capped at $60,000.
The city attorney’s office and
Fish’s office both declined to
respond to requests for the
name, or names, of the employees being investigated. The
contact says all communication
between the city and the law
firm are confidential. City officials routinely decline to comment on personnel issues.
The cost of the office building increased from the first estimate of $3.2 million to $11.5
million by the time it was finished. The audit found BES employees violated city policies
and changed the construction
contract to create a conflict of
interest during the project. The
audit does not name specific
BES employees, however.
Among other things, the audit found that the building
costs increased because the
scope of the project changed
after it was first approved by
the City Council and BES decided to make it a “showcase”
of sustainable practices.
The Multnomah County district attorney’s office is deciding whether to refer the cost
increases to a law enforcement
agency for a criminal investigation. In response to a request
from Kent Craford and Floy
Jones, two longtime critics of
city utility spending, District
Attorney Rod Underhill has assigned a prosecutor to review
available project records.

Local officials and community
health advocates launched Saturday a the new coalition, For Every Kid, to dedicate funding for
safe routes to schools for every
school district in Clackamas,
Multnomah and Washington
counties.
Saturday morning, on the
front steps of Linwood Elementary School, Milwaukie Mayor
Jeremy Ferguson joined local
leaders and parents to push for
sidewalks, crosswalks and bike
lanes to support a healthy childhood.
“It’s hard to deny the voice of
our children’s needs,” said Ferguson. “After all, they are our future. I support creating safe
routes to school to help protect
our children while building their
confidence, and at the same time
investing for a healthier and
more active community.”
In the coming months, the
Metro Council has the opportunity to dedicate funding that
could help shape a healthy future
for every child in the tri-county
area by funding projects such as
infrastructure improvements
within a mile around schools and
education and encouragement
programs for bicycle and pedestrian safety.
Advocates are also asking for
expanded support of the youth

teenagers can benefit from the
physical activity associated with
public transit use to and from
school.

The program puts trained volunteers at 24 whale-watching
sites along the coast each year
during winter and spring watch
weeks, when Gray whales migrate to and from Alaska. This
year, the dates for the whale
watching weeks will be Dec. 27 to
31 and March 21 to 28.
Training is at:

TriMet ready to test
new e-fare system
TriMet is looking for riders to
help design a new state-of-the-art
electronic fare (e-fare) system
that will make riding easier.
Riders will use the e-fare system to pay by tapping a payment
device like a card or phone
against an electronic reader.
TriMet is launching a short online survey to find out how riders
would use the e-fare system, and
get opinions on possible names
vetted by rider panels.
Possible names: 1Pass; Indigo;
Umbrella; Via; or Lynx.
Take the survey at trimet.org/
efaresurvey.
TriMet employees will start
testing the e-fare system internally by next fall with the opening of the Portland-to-Milwaukie
light-rail transit project. In 2016,
TriMet plans to offer the program to a limited number of customers for testing, with the aim
to launch the e-fare system wide
in 2017.
The eFare system will cost up
to $30 million to implement, but
could reduce fare evasion, increase revenue and costs associated with ticket vending machines, cash purchases and collection processing.

Ford Family grant aids OHSU
program
The Ford Family Foundation
has made a $5 million grant to
the Knight Cancer Institute at
Oregon Health & Science University to expand delivery of prevention and care expertise to rural
Oregonians. The grant will also
contribute to OHSU’s goal of raising $500 million in two years as
part of the $1 billion Knight Cancer Challenge campaign.
grant will provide $2.5 million in
support for each of two initiatives
to serve rural communities
throughout Oregon. The first is
the creation of a statewide cancer prevention and outreach network that will provide community health care organizations
with access to OHSU Knight
Cancer Institute experts in cancer prevention, education, diagnostics, treatment and survivorship, as well as offer support in
directing patients to appropriate
clinical trials.
grant will cover start-up costs to
develop and implement the program.
The second initiative will assist patients who must travel to
OHSU for care, and need affordable, temporary accommodations near OHSU clinics and hospitals. The grant will help pay for
costs associated with construction of guest housing for out-oftown patients and their families,
including family-friendly suites.
The guest housing facility is part

County begins at-home colon
cancer tests
About 5,000 Portland-area residents served by community
health centers are receiving athome screening tests in the mail
as part of a program to boost colon cancer screening among lowincome, uninsured and Latino
patients.
The program, called Stop Colon Cancer, will give many patients their first opportunity to
be screened for this type of cancer, which kills about 52,000
Americans each year and in 2010
killed 645 Oregonians.

Thanks to effective veterans’ champions, like U.S. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, and the support of the Oregon

progress on veterans’ health care, employment, access to higher education
and homelessness. I hope Congress and

Momentum on falls project inspirational

love the expression about
success having many parents, while failure is an orphan, it usually refers to
who claims credit or avoids
blame.
But real success actually requires many parents, strong
leaders, smart planners, willing
supporters, and yes, folks to
help pick up the check.
All these parents also must
be ready to do the hard and
sometimes courageous work
that gets the job done. That’s
why it’s so exciting to see the
Oregon City Commission moving forward with the next
phase of the redevelopment of
the Willamette Falls Legacy
Project.
The commission brought
this tremendous opportunity
to the region and stayed at the
head of the table throughout.
Commissioners knew that this
project will support the economic revival already underway in downtown Oregon City,
opening up the falls to visitors
and providing new land for
businesses and jobs in one of
our country’s most spectacular
settings.
If we’re successful here, it
will be because of courageous
“parents” that have spent the
last three years hammering out
a vision for one of the Northwest’s most important redevelopment sites.
The Oregon City Commis-
By Carlotta Collette
sion is set to officially adopt a
master plan for the Willamette Falls area, a vision that
includes jobs, housing and environmental stewardship. The
plan nearly doubles the size of
Oregon City’s downtown, giving the rebirth underway
there a chance to expand even
further.
It took all of us to make this
happen. Oregon City provided
critical leadership, ensuring its
community values would be
represented first and foremost
in the future of the Blue Heron
site. The state of Oregon, Metro
and Clackamas County recognized the importance of Willamette Falls early on, providing
financial and technical support
for Oregon City’s work.
Our private sector partners
have been important, as well.
The development team, led by
George Heidgerken, has helped
us keep our forward momentum, recognizing the significance of the Blue Heron site
and the potential Willamette
Falls provides. PGE has been a
great partner, as well, from day
one, offering technical expertise as the owner of the hydropower plant at the falls.
Willamette Falls isn’t just a
natural wonder. It’s an important
heritage site for the first people
who called the Willamette Valley
home. The insight and support
from the Confederated Tribes of
the Grand Ronde has been vital.
Oregon City’s vote to move
forward recognizes this shared
parentage — this huge success.
It also signals the start of the
rest of the project. We’re really
just beginning.
Together, we are about to introduce our very special place to
the rest of the region, the state,
and the country. We should all
feel like proud parents.

Board says Metro’s
Climate Smart
strategy ill conceived
By SHASTA KEARNS MOORE
The Tribune
‘Broken model’?
Commissioner Paul Savas
complains that the Climate
Smart strategy lumps local
streets together with highways
and gives improvements to them
all the same low one-star rating
for their effect on greenhouse gas
emissions. Congested local
streets might encourage bike
trips, he says, but highway trips
can’t be as easily replaced by alternatives. Savas feels the biggest “bang” for Oregon’s buck is
reducing congestion on freeways
by adding more capacity.
“So it’s completely backwards
and I feel like it really does not
fairly and accurately or responsibly address the climate and the
CO2 reduction,” Savas says, “and
I think that’s fundamentally
wrong and I think if we start
wrapping policy around that,
then we are really building a broken model.”
Clackamas County Commissioners sent a letter to Metro to
that effect.
“...(I)ncreased highway and
road capacity has the most obvious co-benefits in terms of increased economic activity and
freight mobility. It also relies on
less behavior modification and
social engineering than other elements of the strategy.”
Metro questions road projects
Metro officials say they also
feel reducing congestion is key
to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, but they disagree
that building roads is the best
solution.
Metro spokesperson Craig
Beebe says scientific studies
from California show that adding
more lanes to a freeway just
doesn’t work.
“In the long run, congestion
actually ends up being really bad
anyway because that lane fills up
with more cars.”
Beebe says Metro is placing
emphasis on using the existing
road network better, increasing
connectivity and boosting funding for the transportation plans
already approved by the 25 cities
and three counties within its
border.
Building wider freeways, Beebe adds, carries social, environmental and health costs, too. A
multi-prong strategy that encourages people to get out of
their cars is more effective, he
says.
“In the long-run, congestion
actually ends up being really bad
anyway because that lane fills up
with more cars,” Beebe says. “On
its own, it wouldn’t get us to the
goal that we need to get to.”
“So?” responds Ludlow. “For
20 years we’ll be able to move
more people, we’ll be able to
move more freight. It’s pretty
lame, I think, to say: well, why do
it at all, it’ll just fail eventually.”

the previous decision. In fact,
the commission voted in favor
of the project, but recommended so many expensive environmental and social mitigation
measures that the port withdrew its application.
A number of NWDA board
members wanted the plan to
strictly regulate the demolition
of older homes that contain asbestos and lead paint. An advisory committee to the Bureau of
Development Services is already studying such regulations. But neighborhood activists across the city‚ including
Northwest Portland — do not
trust the committee because it
includes several developers.
“Demolitions are a citywide
concern, not just a Northwest
NIMBY (not in my backyard),”
said NWDA board member
Wendy Chung.
And Southwest residents expressed frustration that some
details of the draft update have
not yet been written. It proposes
four zones where new development will be concentrated. They
are titled “Mixed-Use Dispersed,” “Mixed-Use Neighborhood,” “Mixed-Use Civic Corridor” and “Mixed-Use Urban Center.” Despite the specific names,
the details of the new zones are
still being written by a group
called the Mixed Use Zone Advisory Committee. It is not scheduled to release its concept plan
until January, two months after
last week’s final public hearing
on the draft update.
“We just want people to be
able to see the whole plan before
they testify on it,” said James
Pederson, chairman of the Multnomah Neighborhood Association Land Use Committee.
In response to Pederson’s
comments, commission staff
said the two-stage process was
mandated by state land use regulations. They require that the
Comp Plan update be approved
before the new zones. The employees noted that written comments will still be accepted until
March 13 of next year, two
months after the mixed zone
concepts are released.
That does not please the
Southwest residents, however.
He thinks the Planning and Sustainability Committee should
hold at least one more hearing
after the zones are defined to
take public testimony and respond to questions.
“We are not satisfied with
that schedule,” said Peterson,
who claimed it is impossible to
understand how the draft comp
plan update would work without knowing how the mixed use
zones are defined.

The Clackamas Board of
County Commissioners has a
message for Metro regional
government as it prepares to
approve its Climate Smart
Communities Strategy: Don’t
forget about roads.
The five-member commission
expressed concern that the evolving plan to reduce motor vehicle
emissions by 20 percent by 2035
puts too much emphasis on new
public transit, bicycle and pedestrian solutions and not enough
on projects like adding lanes of
traffic to increasingly congested
Interstate 205.
“I-205 is not Clackamas County’s problem,” says Board Chair
John Ludlow, who wants a regional solution to the stateowned freeway that runs from
Interstate 5 near Tualatin to Vancouver, Wash. Ludlow says he
worries that Climate Smart will
be used to push funding for nonpassenger vehicle transportation
options.
“When they continue to pour
in money to bike paths they take
it away from roadways,” he says,
adding: “Freight can’t use a bike
path.”
Two important committees advising Metro on Climate Smart
aren’t listening, however. Commissioner Paul Savas repeatedly
brought up the need to add lanes
on I-205 and other highways to
reduce congestion when the Metro Policy Advisory Committee
and the Joint Policy Committee
on Transportation met last Friday to review the project’s progress. Only fellow commissioner
Jim Bernard and Port of Portland
representative Susie Lahsene
even agreed that such projects
could reduce congestion and motor vehicle emissions.
Savas and Bernard were
joined by several members of
both committees that criticized
proposals they thought required local governments to
adopt specific plans for reducing motor vehicle emissions.
Project staffers promised to rewrite them to stress compliance
is voluntary before the elected
Metro Council takes the final
draft up in December.
Ludlow says that Clackamas
commissioners don’t oppose all
of the proposal, and are supportive of unique public transit solutions for the county’s rural and
underserved areas — such as an
expansion of the Mt. Hood Express line — to take automobiles
off the roads.
“That alone will be addressing
the whole greenhouse gas problem,” Ludlow says. Though, Ludlow adds that he’s not sure it’s a
necessary endeavor anyway.
“I am a big-time skeptic of human-caused climate change,”
Ludlow says, adding that even if
Climate Smart is successful,
countries like China will quickly
counteract it. “It’s great to do this
if one believes in it, but it is just a
drop in the bucket on the world
scale.”
Commissioner Martha Schrader says there are other benefits to
be realized by improving transportation solutions, such as air
quality and economic inequity.
“I do think the climate’s chang-
ing, I don’t know if we’re causing
it or not, but oh well,” Schrader
said during an Oct. 21 board
meeting.
“I think that’s the issue,” replied Commissioner Tootie
Smith. “Whether it’s manmade
or not or would it happen anyway, despite our efforts?”
The Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for its
work publicizing that there is a
“very high confidence” among
climate scientists that human activity has had a net warming effect on the planet.

George (Bob) Robert Jones was
born in Harrison, Arkansas on
April 27, 1935 and moved with his
family to Sunshine Valley, Oregon
when he was 18 months old. Bob
attended Hillsview Grade School,
Gresham High School, and
Portland State University. He
served in the Army National Guard
Artillery and the Army Reserves
for more than thirty years. Bob
worked as an electrician for Meier

Bob loved to tease and had a great sense of humor.
Bob loved square dancing with his wife Mary at the
Country Cut-ups Square Dance Club, traveling
extensively, golfing with the Senior Men’s Club at
Mountain View Golf Course, and playing blackjack. He
was a sports enthusiast and family Scrabble champ. He
took great pleasure in walking friends and family through
his extraordinary garden to pick vegetables and berries to
share. Nothing was more important to Bob than his
family.

To Dream Too encampment.
‘Dual-county problem’
Brenda Durbin, director of
Clackamas County Social Services noted that the most current
statistics identifying the homeless in the county date back to
January 2013, when 2,070 people
were identified as having no safe
place to sleep.
The county “is ramping up
now” for the next count on Jan.
29, 2015, Durbin said.
There is a definite need in
Clackamas County for “affordable housing, emergency shelters, transition housing and rapid re-housing for getting the
homeless into an apartment,”
she added.
Sutton said that in nearby
Multnomah County the official
homeless count is 2,760, but “you
should double that; people don’t
want to be counted, they don’t
want to be identified.”
She added, “This is a dualcounty problem and needs a dualcounty solution. There is no borderline on human misery.”
Durbin said she admires “people like Trena, who are so passionate about the homeless. We
need more people willing to help
move the discussion forward.”
Sutton is in contact with officials in the Lents area of Portland
about finding a site for a rest area, but she is still holding out for
a place in Clackamas County.
She has met with county government officials, and there is the
prospect of a “special area owned
by a special governmental agency,” she said.
“We need at least a third of an
acre that is zoned for multi-use,
so we can tap into sewer, water
and electricity,” Sutton said, adding that having a plan to dispose
of trash also is needed.
Advantages for those using the
rest area are many.
“We will have security, so they
will have a safe area to put things.
This will also give people a sense
of community and mutual respect and empathy for others.
They will have access to showers
and laundry facilities — how can
anyone get a job if they are
dirty?”
Sutton knows she is going to
need support of others to make
the dream happen. “We will be a
nonprofit, under the umbrella of
Right 2 Dream Too or a church
ministry. We need the faith-based
community to step forward and
help. Once we are set up, we will
have strict guidelines and board
members who will be good stewards for donations,” she said.
And, speaking of money, Sutton said that in talking to government officials she quotes statistics showing how expensive it is
to not solve the problem of people
living on the street.
“It costs taxpayers around
$14,000 per year — there is money
spent on police involvement, drug
and alcohol treatment, mentalhealth admissions, and other
medical costs. The financial cost
is astronomical, and the human
cost is astronomical,” she said.
“And if we don’t address the root
causes of houselessness, they’ll
be back on the street.”
What are those causes? “The
mental-health system is underfunded, and then add in criminality and drug and alcohol addiction. They have no means to get
cleaned up and no transportation
to try to find a job. It’s a vicious
loop, and until we break that cycle and give them a safe place to
live, food and a sense of community, that loop will continue.”
Sutton added, “Most people are
redeemable if given a hand up
and not a handout.”
Changing minds
Sutton knows that the public
doesn’t mean to be cruel to those
less fortunate, but the media promotes the problem by focusing on
the predatory ones, the 10 percent of those on the street who
cause problems.
She knows that she and her
supporters need to work on
changing the mind-set of the public in regard to houselessness,
and she knows this can be done
because she used to “walk across
the street to avoid a houseless
person.”
Then she encountered a man
who was eating out of a garbage
can. She discovered that he had
been a college professor, whose
wife was diagnosed with cancer.
“He fell into a scheme to get
help for his wife in a clinic in
South America. It turned out to
be a scam, and she died. When he
came back to this country, he got
into alcohol and drugs. He’s the
one who taught me the love for
the houseless.”
She and her sister then began
making sandwiches to hand out
to people on the street, and then
Sutton found herself trying to
solve problems for people.
At that point she partnered
with some law enforcement professionals at the Southeast Police
Precinct in Portland, and with
Pastor Michael Davis, of Knowing
Me Ministries.
Although Knowing Me is
based in Portland, Davis has
worked with the homeless along
the Springwater Corridor and
82nd Avenue. He also has worked
in Clackamas County court to
help the homeless find more success with their probation. He has
worked with the homeless population for 22 years.
Davis supports Sutton in her
effort to get a rest area set up because he knows firsthand what it
is like to live on the street.
“I was homeless for a year
and a half. When someone is
experiencing homelessness
they spend each day just trying to survive, therefore they
can’t really concentrate on
getting off the streets. For
those seriously wanting off the
streets, they struggle to do so
due to being constantly moved
and dealing with all the negative influences of the streets,”
he said.

A rest area would “allow people to get off the streets immediately and get adequate sleep so
that they can think clearly. It allows them to focus on overcoming the obstacles they face rather
than having to focus on survival,
Davis said.
He also is involved in the process because he believes that the
rest area and “projects like R2D2
are a great alternative to the conventional approaches to homelessness that have not worked.
This type of approach works.”
People should support
this rest area for a number of
reasons.
“Many of the homeless came
from comfortable lifestyles, but
due to circumstances often beyond their control, they ended up
homeless. Therefore they are no
different than us, and it could
happen to any of us. If it happened to us we would want compassionate support from others,”
Davis said.
“People are dying on the
streets and being pushed down
every time they try to get up.
This would provide a place
where they can find refuge and
resources,” he said.
Sutton said people can donate food, gently used clothing,
and hygiene items to the Clackamas Service Center. They also
can send monetary donations
there.
“People can help support this
effort by getting behind it and
getting their neighbors behind it.
We can give financially on an ongoing basis to get it started and
keep it going. We can volunteer
labor to help set up the rest area,
supplies to build, and supplies
for people to be safe and warm,”
Davis said.
“We can get to know the homeless and discover that they are us
— human, loving people who
have dreams, emotions and skills
just like us. This is our chance to
turn the tide. We hear a lot of
complaining from the public
about the homeless, but not a lot
of people are stepping up to make
a difference. The homeless are
our neighbors and fellow citizens. Let’s back them up and
cheer them on by supporting this
project.”

in, and tents will house men,
women and couples, with a separate area for victims of domestic
violence.
People can come in for 12
hours, and then must leave for
12 hours. They may leave their
belongings and even their pets
at the site, and security personnel will make sure that everything is safe.
Security, Sutton said, is a
huge factor. If people don’t
have a safe place to live, then
they are in survival mode, and
“you can’t plan for tomorrow if
you are just trying to survive
today. We want to get them out
of survival mode and into prosperity mode. We want to give
them some way to improve
themselves.”
Sutton does not like the term
homeless camp, preferring to
call the Right 2 Dream Too site
a “rest area,” and in fact, she
deplores the use of the word
homeless.
“Homeless has a negative
connotation. I prefer to use
houseless,” she said.
As for why a rest area is
needed in the county, Sutton
said there are no shelters that
are really accessible for the
large houseless population in
Clackamas County, so many of
them form illegal camps in various areas around the Springwater Corridor and other sites
near Southeast 82nd Avenue.
There are, she added, shelters for families and women
and children in the county, but
all of them are booked and have
waiting lists.
Sutton is familiar with what
is happening in the county
since she works with members
of the faith-based community
handing out food to people in
the camps, and most importantly, she is the volunteer
kitchen supervisor for the
Clackamas Service Center, located at 8800 S.E. 80th Ave., just
off of Southeast 82nd Avenue,
near the Johnson Creek Fred
Meyer.
The center is a donation-supported, nonprofit organization
that provides services, including food and clothing, to homeless and low-income individuals and families in the area.
Sutton has volunteered there
for 19 months, sometimes
working more than 40 hours a
week at the site.

Election: Minimum wage will get attention
■ From page 1
Oregon to create 25,000 jobs annually through 2020, raise percapita income to the national average and reduce to 10 percent
the number of people under the
federal poverty level. It also acknowledges that the latter two
goals cannot be achieved through
economic recovery alone.
“Employment hasn’t yet returned to pre-recession levels in
most parts of Oregon and our incomes remain stubbornly below
the national average,” according
to the plan. “Perhaps most important, far too many Oregonians —
including nearly one quarter of
children — are living in poverty.”
Oregon’s poverty rate is 16.7
percent.
Although overshadowed by
the controversies about the
role of his fiancée, Cylvia
Hayes, Kitzhaber drew clear
differences with Richardson on
how he would take on many of
these issues.
He says that starting his final
term, he’s ready to move forward.
“I know most legislators personally, and I have worked with many of them over the years, so I
believe it’s not going to affect my
ability to move an agenda,” he
says.
Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, says: “He has been
chosen to be governor again, and
he takes that responsibility seri-

ously. Whether the questions are
cleared up or not, he’s going to
have to decide them in his own
way.”
Courtney says he does not
want to say too much about policy issues or political relationships until his Democratic colleagues meet this weekend, and
until the legislative leaders
meet with Kitzhaber to get an
advance look at his next twoyear state budget, which Kitzhaber will unveil Dec. 1.
“We’re in pre-season practice,
so it’s hard to tell what our teams
are going to look like and how
they are going to relate to each
other,” he says.
Specifics still lacking
Oregon’s minimum wage in
2015 will be $9.25 per hour, second only to Washington state’s
$9.47. Voters in both states approved linking annual increases
to inflation.
“I believe that after 12 years of
having our minimum wage tied to
the Consumer Price Index, it’s
time for us to have another discussion about an increase in the
minimum wage that would be
good for Oregon,” Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian says.
Avakian says he’s not ready to
put forth a specific proposal, but
there is talk about linking future
increases to the federal poverty
level.
“If you want to lift most people
out of poverty, that is the way to
do it,” says Chuck Sheketoff, executive director of the Oregon
Center for Public Policy, a think
tank based in Silverton that advocates for low- and moderate-income people. “We ought to pay
them more so that they are not
poor.”
But Kitzhaber says though he
favors an increase, it would not be
enough in itself.
“If all you do is raise the mini-
mum wage and do not address
the relationship between higher
income and (eligibility for) support services such as employment-related day care, they actually lose ground,” he says.
People used to lose state-supported care under the Oregon
Health Plan when their incomes
rose, but Kitzhaber says that
problem was resolved by the national health care overhaul and
subsequent expansion of state or
private coverage to 95 percent of
Oregonians.
Lawmakers also are expected
to debate a requirement for paid
sick leave, which they heard in
2013 but did not advance. California, Connecticut and Massachusetts have adopted such requirements, as have Portland and Eugene among U.S. cities; Eugene’s
will take effect in July.
The Oregon Business Plan
avoids mention of those specifics,
but says that support services are
needed for lower-income working
families.
The plan emphasizes education and training to improve the
skills of current and future workers, and job-creating programs
tailored to those not sharing in
Oregon’s economic recovery.
“I am hoping we look at ways
to improve the economy for
them,” Winters says.
Kotek says state support of
public schools, community colleges and state universities —
education accounts for half the
state’s tax-supported general
fund — will be a continuing
concern.
A coalition is also preparing to
offer a financing plan for transportation improvements, and not
limited to roads and bridges.
Tax talk again
Kitzhaber once foresaw that
the 2015 session would be the one
for an overhaul of Oregon’s finances. State services and public
schools rely on state income taxes, and local services on voterlimited property taxes.
“I think it’s important that we
not waste an opportunity to have
a conversation about our tax
code,” Kitzhaber says.
But according to the 2013 Oregon Values & Beliefs Project, conducted by DHM Research of Portland for a coalition of public and
nonprofit organizations, the public remains split over whether
Oregon’s system is too “unstable”
and should be supported by a
general sales tax — which Oregon and four other states do not
have. Voters have rejected sales
tax proposals nine times, most
recently in 1993.
While 63 percent of those sampled say Oregon’s tax system is
not fair, 64 percent concluded
they do not trust government to
spend tax money wisely.
In addition to Kitzhaber’s suggestion for lawmakers to look at
the “benefits cliff,” Kitzhaber
says he’s still interested in consid-
ering a limited tax cut on capital
gains — profits from the sale of
assets such as stock — if the proceeds are reinvested in Oregon.
His proposal to do so in 2011
went nowhere in the Legislature.
“Such talk ought to be
banned from the (legislative)
caucus room,” says Sheketoff,
whose think tank opposes tax
cuts benefiting higher-income
households. “The first rule is
do no harm — don’t exacerbate
income inequality by enriching
the coffers of the wealthiest
Oregonians.”
Lawmakers will review some
tax breaks, including a tax credit
for child-care costs, that will expire in 2016 unless they renew
them.
They also are likely to re-examine the Gain Share program,
under which the state makes
payments to counties that grant
some property tax breaks for
businesses, linked to a portion of
state income taxes generated by
the new workers hired by those
businesses. Washington County,
which received $38 million earlier this year, is the largest recipient.
“My general take is that let’s
not do reform just to do reform,”
Kotek says. “We should ask ourselves what we are trying to
achieve. For me, it’s about helping
families get ahead.”

Re-elected Kitzhaber still a ‘power broker’
Ethics questions,
tough issues mark
governor’s final term
By HILLARY BORRUD
Salem Bureau
Gov. John Kitzhaber survived a bruising campaign to
win an unprecedented fourth
term. Now, as Kitzhaber prepares for his second turn as a
lame-duck governor, political
insiders are watching to see if
the governor still has the political capital to broker the
type of high-profile agreements that characterized his
third term.
Kitzhaber and his fiancée,
first lady Cylvia Hayes, could
still face ethics investigations after questions arose late in the
race regarding Hayes’ private
consulting role.
Hayes stopped serving as an
unpaid policy adviser to the
governor while the Oregon Government Ethics Commission
looks into her role, and she was
absent election night during the
governor’s victory speech.
The commission will consider some of those questions Friday at its regular meeting.
Kitzhaber said in a Nov. 4
statement that he was “keenly
aware that I stand here tonight
because Oregonians stuck with
me under difficult circumstances. I do not take that for granted,
and I will not let you down. During this campaign you have risen above the noise and distrac-
tions and chosen to focus on the
real challenges facing Oregon.”
The governor’s victories during his third term included a
package of bills known as the
“grand bargain,” which cut public pensions and raised taxes, that
state lawmakers passed after the
governor called them back for a
special session in fall 2013.
Kitzhaber has talked of an
even more ambitious goal for his
fourth and last term: an overhaul
of the state’s tax system, which
he started discussing with business and labor groups even before he announced last winter
that he would seek a fourth term
as governor. The governor successfully worked with labor and
anti-union interests earlier this
year to keep opposing measures
off the ballot this fall, in an effort
to prevent an acrimonious fight
that could have undermined discussions of tax reform.
“The governor has shown a
real ability to pull people in to
work across the aisle,” said Phil
Keisling, a former Oregon secretary of state and director of the
Center for Public Service at the
Mark O. Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University. “I think he will continue
to be a pretty vigorous chief executive. But he will be a lame
duck, for a second time.”
Governors draw power from
the fact they are elected by the
entire state said Len Bergstein,
a political consultant who owns
Northwest Strategies Inc. Although Bergstein would not
rule out Kitzhaber’s ability to
achieve another “grand bargain,” Bergstein said the closeness of this election left Kitzhaber without a clear mandate.
“I can’t imagine that anybody
can say with a straight face that
there’s any mandate that’s
come from Oregon voters,”
Bergstein said.
One aspect of the election that
could help the governor is his
party’s stronger majority in the
Oregon Senate, where Democrats gained an edge of at least
17 to 12 on Tuesday night. One
race, District 15 in Washington
County, remained too close to
call Wednesday between incumbent Republican Sen. Bruce
Starr and Democrat Chuck Riley.
The Democrats’ 16-14 majority in the 2014 session meant
the party sometimes fell short
of the votes it needed to pass
priority legislation, when powerful Scappoose Democrat Sen.
Betsy Johnson crossed the aisle
to vote with Republicans on key
legislation.
However, it is unclear if Democratic lawmakers will be willing to expend much of their political capital on major initiatives from a lame-duck governor when lawmakers have their
own priorities, such as cleanfuels and expansion of early
childhood education.
Democrats also gained one
seat in the House, which they
will lead over Republicans, 35-25.

‘Mr. Playground’ earns volunteer honors State hits
TIGARD
firm with
fine for
oil waste
BEAVERTON
Burgess lent skills to
dozens of THPRD
projects since 1979
By SHANNON O. WELLS
Pamplin Media Group
When Jerry Burgess started his career with Tualatin
Hills Park and Recreation District in 1979, it wasn’t long before his design and building
acumen got in the way of his
grass-cutting duties.
“I started tractor mowing, but
we’d get pulled off of mowing to
go down to the lumberyard,” he
said.
That’s where Burgess, as a
fledgling park technician,
found the goods to do what he
does best: conceptualize, design and build playground
equipment by combining just
the right ingredients of fun and
safety. Since those early days of
mixed duties, Burgess, 56, has
become the park district’s unofficial — yet uncontested —
“playground guru,” while lending his time, expertise and passion to no fewer than 17 volunteer playground installation
projects around the state on
behalf of the Oregon Recreation and Park Association.
For his efforts, the association
gave Burgess, a longtime Beaverton resident, the Distinguished Service Award at its annual conference in Seaside in
early October. Stephanie Redman, the association’s executive
director, said Burgess was singled out “in recognition of his
years of dedication to assisting
agencies install, maintain and
ensure the safety of playgrounds
for the children of Oregon.”
Widespread play
In his 35-year career with the
district, Burgess had a hand in
dozens of THPRD playground
and park projects. On his “free
time,” he organizes volunteer
professionals to spend two to
four days at various community
sites, assembling and installing
playground structures for the
park association’s Maintenance
and Construction Section, commonly known as MACS.
“Jerry’s work to install, enhance and make Oregon’s playgrounds safe for its children really defines the spirit and intent
of this award,” Redman said.

“His service in the area of playground maintenance and safety
is phenomenal. Jerry has volunteered to help ORPA conduct
countless playground maintenance trainings and certification classes, which ensure that
Oregon’s park and recreation
professionals have the best
tools and techniques to install
and maintain safe playgrounds.”
Burgess’ freelance installation credits include Metzger
Park in Tigard, Camp Rivendale
at the Jenkins Estate near Aloha, Fern Park in Veneta near
Eugene and playgrounds as far
flung as Ontario and Medford.

‘Mr. Playground’ strikes again
Now a grandfather of two
toddlers, Burgess traces his
playground passion to the
parks he would frequent while
growing up in Tillamook.
“I remember they replaced
the swingset I was on all the
time,” he recalled. “That kind
of set the tone. I loved the way
they kept it up.”
Always keeping a childlike
eye to maximize a playground’s
fun factor, Burgess always
makes safety — from the sturdiness of a jungle gym to the
softness of the landing surface
below — a top priority.
“I’m pretty nit-picky,” he
said. “I check every nut and
bolt and dry rivet in there. And
that’s what I preach to everybody else, to include as part of
the job to sign off on safety.”
Wayt vouches for Burgess’
devotion to getting equipment
ready to be commandeered by
the kids.
“When Jerry says a new
piece of play equipment is
ready to open to the public, we
know it’s ready,” he said. “We
don’t worry. All that’s left is for
kids to have fun.”
As part of Burgess’ Distin-
guished Service Award recognition, Redman simply called
Burgess “Mister Playground.”
“If there is something that
he doesn’t know about playground equipment and safety,
it’s probably not worth knowing,” she said. “Even better,
Jerry is always ready to lend a
hand to other professionals
and agencies to answer questions and to lend advice about
their particular situations. We
are so fortunate to have him
involved with our association
and as a resource within our
state.”
Burgess is quick to credit the
park district crews he collaborates with and volunteers who
gladly donate their time and
energy.
“I have a great group of guys,
(and) we work great together,”
he said. “I’m fortunate to have
their expertise. One guy can’t
do it alone.”
Despite his intention to keep
doing what he does as long as
he’s able, Burgess admitted he
does have limitations as far as
taking on new outside projects.
“I run it by my wife first,” he
said with a grin. “You can only
do so much.”
DEQ says Agilyx has
since corrected many
of its cited offenses
By GEOFF PURSINGER
Pamplin Media Group
A Tigard corporation has
been fined nearly $50,000 after
hazardous waste was found at
its facility near a local dog
park.
Agilyx converts waste plastics
into synthetic crude oil. They operate a research facility at 7904
S.W. Hunziker St. next door to
Potso Dog Park.
On Monday, the Oregon Department of Environmental
Quality issued a $49,702 penalty
against the company. Agilyx has
until Tuesday, Nov. 11, to file an
appeal to the decision to DEQ.
According to DEQ officials,
the company improperly managed its hazardous waste, failed
to keep up-to-date contingency
plans and did not properly train
its employees responsible for
managing the hazardous waste.
The company also reportedly
didn’t label its hazardous waste
containers.
“DEQ issued this penalty because the improper management of hazardous waste
threatens public health and the
environment,” DEQ officials
said in a statement.
Agilyx opened in 2004 under
the name Plas2Fuel. It changed
its name in 2010 after opening
its research facility on Hunziker Street.
This isn’t the first time Agilyx has been in trouble for the
way it handles hazardous
waste. Similar violations were
identified during an audit in
2011.
DEQ conducted a two-day inspection of the facility on Oct.
14 and 15, 2013.

Port of St. Helens
awaiting approval
for ‘feasibility study’
conversations about what physically makes sense, and then
the next (step) would be what
makes sense with the community. And that’s all part of the
study.”
By MARK MILLER
AND COURTNEY VAUGHN
Pamplin Media Group
Off the board
A Hood River environmentalist group is asking the federal government to commission what promises to be a
lengthy study into the environmental impact of potential
development at a Port of St.
Helens property in Columbia
City before awarding a grant
to the port.
The port has requested federal funding for a “feasibility
study” to determine what can be
done with the Columbia City Industrial Park, located in the
northern portion of the city. The
prospect of development is opposed by Columbia Riverkeeper,
which wrote in a Friday, Oct. 31,
letter to the Economic Development Administration that the
federal agency should prepare
an environmental impact statement, or EIS, before making a
decision on whether to grant
money for the port’s project.
“As a federal agency with authority over the ‘Columbia City
Industrial Park Maritime Feasibility Study,’ EDA has the responsibility to prepare an EIS
pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act before deciding whether to fund this
project,” according to the letter
from Columbia Riverkeeper attorney Miles Johnson.
Officially, the feasibility study
is meant to determine how the
port can best use the 93-acre industrial property, which currently houses the manufacturing business West Oregon
Wood Products, as well as the
port’s administrative office.
“The idea is to look at our Columbia City Industrial Park
property and all of its advantages, all of its challenges,” said
Scott Jensen, planning coordinator for the port. “There’s no
project at this time, and there’s
no project waiting in the wings.
This is a purely data-driven
study. We want to see what
makes sense, and then have
Answers.
A March 6 email sent by an
EDA official to a Seattle attorney, however, raised questions
about whether the port does
have other plans in mind. “My
concern is that the Port has
plans, that they are not sharing
with us, to develop either a
methanol plant or coal export
terminal at the Columbia City
site,” wrote Shannon FitzGerald in the email.
FitzGerald’s email cited unnamed port staff she said indicated the port would relocate its
current tenants from the Columbia City Industrial Park if it
landed “a contract for a $1 billion project,” which she suggested could be a methanol production facility sponsored by
the Chinese government.
Beijing-backed Northwest Innovation Works LLC already
has a $1 billion contract with
the port for a methanol plant at
Port Westward, the large industrial park north of Clatskanie. It
is one of several sites in the Pacific Northwest where Chinesebacked developers are looking
at building methanol plants.
In its letter to the Economic
Development Administration,
Columbia Riverkeeper said the
port’s application and the potential to develop more industrial fossil fuel export operations along the Columbia River
deserves “the most searching
and transparent environmental
review possible: an EIS.”
Johnson said Columbia
Riverkeeper’s letter was sent in
response to a legal notice requesting public comments on
the port’s application.
Johnson said the organization wanted to “remind the EDA
of the scope of their responsibility to consider the full range of
possible impacts.” While he declined to comment on the email
exchange between FitzGerald
and the attorney, he said the
email highlights many of the
same concerns echoed by Columbia Riverkeeper and hundreds of other public comments
submitted on the matter. Johnson said his feeling was “this
project is going to be eventually
much bigger than a feasibility
study,” and said the federal environmental review process
must be followed.
Jensen said the port is “not entertaining” the idea of a coal facility at the Columbia City Industrial Park.
“It’s not going to be a coal terminal,” said Jensen. “That’s been
off the board since day one.”
Jensen also said the industrial park has not been evaluated as a potential methanol facility site, unlike the port property
north of Clatskanie.
“I’m sure that they would have
considered this one too, if it was
suitable,” said Jensen.
Jensen stressed that the port
wants to work with Columbia
City on the feasibility study.
“We don’t want to propose
something or work with ... a potential tenant to find out, ‘Oh, the
city doesn’t like that,’” said Jensen. “We want to have the city
engaged as early as possible.”
But for now, the study is in
limbo. Although the EDA tentatively approved a $75,000 grant
for the project last year, it has
not been officially awarded; it is
unclear whether the EDA can
make the grant, which is supposed to go toward “technical
assistance,” if the port’s scope
of work is broader than that.
The federal agency is working through the NEPA process.
Currently, it is soliciting public
comments on potential environmental and cultural impacts
that the study might have. Columbia Riverkeeper’s letter was
submitted as such a comment.
The process of producing an
environmental impact statement, which is what Columbia
Riverkeeper is arguing the EDA
should conduct before awarding
money for the port’s study, can
take up to several years.
Asked about Columbia Riverkeeper’s argument that an environmental impact statement
should be required before the
study proceeds, Jensen hesitated for several seconds.
“As a feasibility study, it’s difficult to see how an environmental impact statement is possible,” he said. “It’s meant to measure what can be measured.”

Trophy candidate and arguably the best quarterback in
Oregon history were some
very strong words after the
Ducks beat Utah last weekend
— good, positive, strong
words.
The Ducks had just lost starters Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Hroniss
Grasu and Pharaoh Brown to injury — Brown for the rest of the
season with a severe right leg
injury — but quarterback Marcus Mariota said the Ducks responded very well in the locker
room after the 51-27 win at Salt
Lake City.
“Guys are motivated,” said
Mariota, whose Heisman resume
and place in UO history continues to be built. “Once this (game)
was done, guys were talking
about getting right to it (in practice), get ready for Colorado
(Nov. 22 in Eugene). That says
something about this team and
the character of these guys.”
The Utes, backed by an enthusiastic home crowd, challenged
the Ducks, who scored the
game’s final 21 points. If not for
Kaelin Clay’s epic fail, maybe
Utah keeps on top of the Ducks
and pulls off the upset. Clay’s tooearly celebratory drop of the ball
at the 1-yard line on a sure-touchdown for Utah will be a play that
goes down in UO lore, with footage of Joe Walker picking up the
loose ball and returning it 100
yards for an Oregon touchdown.
(Somebody in Hollywood has to
put that play in a script, because
it’s almost the stuff of fantasy).
But the Ducks (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12,
North Division champ) persevered, and will enjoy a bye week
before playing Colorado and Oregon State to finish the regular
season. A date with the Pac-12
South champ — Arizona State?
— awaits in the league championship game, Dec. 5 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

the opportunity to watch a pair
of All-Stars last week who spent
plenty of time together as kids
— Golden State guard Klay
Thompson and Cleveland forward Kevin Love.
The sons of ex-NBA players
Mychal Thompson and Stan
Love were playmates growing
up in Lake Oswego in the late
1990s and early 2000s. Kevin
Love, 26, was two years older
than Klay Thompson, the middle son of
Mychal’s three
boys. Older son
Mychel, 26,
played five
games for the
Cavaliers in
2011-12 and is a
member of the
D-League Santa
Cruz Warriors.
LOVE
Younger son
Trayce, 23, is a center fielder in
the Chicago White Sox system.
“The boys played Little
League baseball together,” recalls Mychal, whose family lived
in Lake Oswego from 1992-2004.
“Kevin would come over to the
house almost every weekend.
We were very close to the
Loves.”
The Loves stayed in Lake Oswego, Kevin leading the Lakers
to the state prep championship
as a senior in 2006. The Thompsons moved to Los Angeles,
where Mychal has a morning
radio talk show and serves as
radio analyst for the Lakers.
Kevin Love has become one
of the premier players in the
game, a three-time NBA AllStar and a member of the U.S.
team that won gold at the 2010
world championships and 2012
Olympic Games.
“By the time Kevin got to

high school and the AAU ranks,
you could see he had those oldschool basketball skills to take
him to the Hall of Fame,”
Mychal Thompson says. “That’s
a no-brainer — first ballot, as
long as he stays healthy.”
Klay Thompson, a member of
the U.S. team that won gold at
the 2014 World Cup, joins Stephen Curry to form the premier
backcourt in the NBA.
“That’s really wild, isn’t it?”
Stan Love marvels. “Two kids
who played together in Lake Oswego wound up doing pretty
well for themselves.”
“It’s something our family is
proud of,” Mychal Thompson
says. “The Lake Oswego area is
our favorite. We still miss it. The

latest OSU defeat

By KERRY EGGERS
The Tribune
From a Sunday conversation
with Oregon State coach Mike
Riley, whose Beavers (4-5 overall, 1-5 in Pac-12 play) play host
to seventh-ranked Arizona
State (8-1, 5-1) Saturday night
at Reser Stadium ...
■ There is no sugar-coating
Oregon State’s 39-32 home
loss to Washington State last
Saturday.
The Beavers’ defense, strong
through the early part of the
season, has regressed. The
Beavers let a quarterback making his first career start, redshirt freshman Luke Falk,
throw for 419 yards and five
touchdowns.
The OSU offense wasn’t bad,
with Sean Mannion throwing
for 419 yards, Victor Bolden
hauling in 10 receptions and
Terron Ward and Chris Brown
combining for 73 yards on 16
rushing attempts. But the Beavers were only 4 for 12 on thirddown conversions — a problem
all season — and settled for
field goals four times on drives
inside the Wazzu 30-yard line.
The Beavers will be underdogs in their final three regular-season games — two
against top-10 teams in ASU
and Oregon — and have lost
four in a row.
“I’m very disappointed in
losing the games,” Riley said.
“We have three games left. Our
coaches have to in every way
get these kids ready to play.
We have to play smarter and
play more physically than we
played defensively. Our inability to convert third downs has
been critical.
“Our biggest downfall
(against the Cougars) was not
executing and finishing drives
and kicking field goals. We’re
not scoring enough points to win
these games in this conference.”
■ Falk completed 44 passes,
the most ever by a player at Reser and the most ever against
an Oregon State defense. The
Cougars — who were 8 for 13
on third down — didn’t go deep
often, opting to throw the ball
into the flat, to open spots
short in OSU coverage and on
inside screen plays in which
they were able to get wideouts
and backs blocking downfield.
“The things we were doing
pretty darn well earlier in the
season — getting people out on
third down, tackling well —
we’re not doing at as high a
level as we once were,” Riley
said. The Cougars “ran a lot of
bubble-type screens where
they take a back out of backfield and have him block out
(on a defender). We’re not attacking that as well as we once
did, and not making enough
tackles once we get there.
Those eat you up. They had
pretty good (short-yardage)
third-down situations and hit
on a high percentage.”

transferring to PSU this term. “I
just about fainted. I was all
teary-eyed. I was so scared for
him. I prayed to God he was going to be OK.”
Coury phoned Long soon after he got the news.
“He acted like nothing was
wrong,” Coury says. “He’s one
of the toughest guys I know. He
thinks every outcome is going
to be OK. I probably was more
scared than he was.”
During a 2 1/2-hour operation,
surgeons removed an infectious
lesion on the brain. It was good
news it wasn’t a tumor, but it
was still a serious condition that
placed Long’s football career in
jeopardy.
“I was just hoping he could
come through it to be healthy
enough to have a normal life,”
Coury says. “I wasn’t worried
about football.”
Long looked at it the same
way — sort of.
“The first thing you think of
is, get your health back,” he
says. “Your head is nothing to
play around with. No. 1 was

it.
“Second, I wanted to play
football again. I knew it was going to take some time. I just had
to be patient.”
Long sat out spring practice,
giving the brain time to heal
and the body to recover. Meanwhile, Burton was relying on
one of the team doctors, Charles

football future. When Webb
gave clearance for Long to participate in August training
camp, Burton welcomed the
youngster into the fold.
“Dr. Webb did a lot of research and was very thorough
in review of Steven’s situation,”
Burton says. “I have full confidence in him knowing what he
was talking about.”
Long redshirted last season,
playing with the scout team and
enjoying his rebirth as a football
player.
“I was excited to get back on
the field, to be back with the
boys,” he says. “I really missed
it. I didn’t know if I was going to
redshirt, but I wanted to get
back and see what I could do,
see how my body felt.

and the Mariota-led team came
through.
“Our team believes in each
other,” Mariota says. “Even when
the game gets close, everyone
looks at each other and, ‘We can
do this.’ That’s awesome to be a
part of.”
The Ducks also will likely stay
in the four-team College Football
Playoff picture along with Mississippi State, Florida State, Alabama and TCU. And one SEC
team probably will fall out of the
picture after Saturday when Alabama plays Mississippi State.
■ Mariota’s accomplishments
keep adding up. At Utah, he went
17 of 29 for 239 yards and three
TDs passing while rushing 18
times for a net 114 yards and another score.
He became the first UO quarterback to top 9,000 career passing yards.
His 18 carries were a career
high.
He topped 100 yards rushing
for the fifth time.
He passed for a touchdown for
the 36th consecutive game (every
game of his UO career, in which
he has a 32-4 record), tied for
third-longest in NCAA history
with Graham Harrell of Texas
Tech.
He has passed for multiple
TDs in 10 consecutive games.
And Oregon improved to 17-0
when Mariota runs for at least
one score.
The weekly Mariota stat update:
Season (through 10 games) —

His next pass attempt will be
the 1,000th of his career, and he
needs nine yards to reach 2,000

■ Mariota’s running ability

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

pods citywide have in the

two years sought and received

spot in UO’s offense and respect
for his work ethic.
The tight end job likely will
fall to Evan Baylis and Johnny
Mundt. They have combined
for three receptions for 39
yards this season. Brown, who
had 25 catches for 420 yards
and six TDs, also had been a
great blocker.
■ There were other injuries,
which Helfrich will never discuss.
Suffice it to say, a bye week has
come at the right time for the
Ducks.
Grasu was wearing a brace on
his left leg after the Utah game.
Ekpre-Olomu hurt his toe, but he
could have returned to the game,
he claims. Defensive lineman Alex Balducci hobbled off the field
at one point. And, the Ducks are
still down offensive linemen Matt
Pierson and Andre Yruretagoyena. All in all, the Ducks’ ability to
run and pass protect could be in
question again.
■ Grasu made his team-leading 50th career start at Utah. If
Grasu can’t play against Colorado, the center duties would fall to
redshirt freshman Doug Brenner
from Jesuit High. Brenner had a
couple low snaps and one that a
bit high and through Mariota’s
hands at Utah.
“Doug did a good job stepping
up,” Mariota says. “We’ve got a
lot of trust in him. We’ve got to
roll with what we have. ... There’s
a little difference in the way they
snap. That’s all on us as quarterbacks; we’ve got to make sure we
catch and make sure we see the
ball into our hands, just like a receiver does.”
Says Helfrich: “Doug played really well. He had a couple of low
snaps, and one that went right
through Marcus’ hands. We have
a ton of confidence in Doug. He
played very well with the exception of the low snaps, against a
very, very good front.”

Getting your Portland news is easier than you think.
YES! Please
space for a first down? It’s almost
become his signature play. It’s
almost like he and UO coaches
plan on it, although Mariota says
“not necessarily.”
Utah was the latest victim.
“Utah’s defense plays a lot of
man (coverage),” he says,
“and what happens with man
defense is everyone’s running down field,
and a couple of
times I was able
to escape the
BRENNER
pocket and create a little. The
receivers did an awesome job
blocking.”
■ Royce Freeman had 99 yards
on 15 carries, following up his
98-yard performance against
Stanford and three consecutive
games before that with 100 or
more. He also had a touchdown,
giving him 14. He has 945 yards
rushing (5.6 per carry).
■ Brown was carted off the
Rice-Eccles Stadium field on Saturday and taken by ambulance to
a Salt Lake City hospital, where
he stayed through Sunday and
where coach Mark Helfrich expected him to be for several more
days. Oregon doesn’t disclose
any information about injuries,
but Helfrich conceded that
Brown was out for the year. (Remember, UO coach Chip Kelly
rarely talked about even UO career-ending injuries, such as the
ones to John Boyett and Carson
York).
“We’re doing everything we
can for him,” Helfrich says. “It’s a
long-term process. But he’s a
competitive guy. ... It’s already
galvanized our team.”

snow throwing/dumping incident and Alamo Bowl suspension last December to earn his

Bob’s
Mark Banker knew pressure
would be an important asset
against Falk. The Beavers
blitzed “maybe 40 percent of
the time,” Riley said. Four
times, they got to Falk for
sacks. It wasn’t enough.
“Our biggest issue — probably the biggest of the game —
was we couldn’t do much with
a four-man rush,” Riley said.
“When we did blitz, our coverage guys were isolated and
(the Cougars) made the plays.”
■ On the game’s first play
from scrimmage, Mannion
went deep to Rahmel Dockery
for 49 yards. On the play, Dockery — Bolden’s backup at
flanker — lined up at split end
instead of Villamin. Bolden had
a great game,
but Dockery
never had another pass
thrown to him
all day. Villamin had a nice
game, too, with
five receptions
for 84 yards,
DOCKERY
but it would
seem Dockery
warranted more action.
“Probably,” Riley said, “but
both Victor and Jordan were
having plenty of success. With
Hunter Jarmon and Dockery,
we have a lot of receivers who
are growing week to week.”
■ The Beavers have led in
the fourth quarter of their last
three home losses, to Utah,
California and Washington
State.
“We’ve had too many opportunities in the fourth quarter of
games that have gone by the
wayside,” Riley said. “It’s all of
our fault — the coaches, the
players. We all take responsibility for it. We are doing everything we can to straighten
this thing out, to play good
football and to execute. We’re
trying to cover every base.
We’re all in it together.
“It’s going to be a big job for
our coaches, for our leaders.
We can get this thing ready to
go.”
■ Arizona State will be the
best opponent Oregon State
has seen all season. The Sun
Devils have a veteran quarterback in senior Taylor Kelly, an
excellent runner in junior D.J.
Foster (821 yards, six TDs) and
a top receiver in junior Jaelen
Strong (62 catches, nine
scores). The Devils rank third
in the Pac-12 in total defense
(396.6 yards allowed per game)
behind Stanford (281.1) and Oregon State (384.7).
“Kelly is a very efficient operator,” Riley said. “He executes their offense very well.
Strong is a terrific receiver,
and they run a variety of stuff,
a multiple offense with a lot of
play-action and some zone
read plays. Their defense has
gotten better as the year’s gone
on. They’ll blitz a lot, and they
have a lot of speed on the defensive side of the ball.
“They’re on a very good run.
It’s going to be a very tough
game. We’re going to have to
play better than we’ve been
playing to have a chance to
win.”
than whoever’s chasing him. You
put all those things together,
that’s how you have those days
like he had against Northern Arizona.”
With limited opportunities,
Long is having a very good rookie
campaign.
“It’s gone better than I had
imagined,” he says. “I’m happy,
but not content. Still working
hard to find areas to improve on.”
Coury looks at what his friend
has accomplished with admiration.
“I wasn’t shocked with (the
Northern Arizona) game,” he
says. “I knew as soon as he got his
shot, he’s made it.
“I don’t think anyone’s gone
through perseverance any more
than Steven. He deserves everything he gets. he’s one of the
hardest-working kids I know.
Great attitude. Always has a
smile on his face. He feels he’s
blessed to be here.”
How does Long look at the
hurdles he has faced?
“That’s life,” says Long, a communications major (minor in
marketing) who hopes for a career with Nike some day. “Ever
since I was brought into this
world, there have been ups and
downs. It’s never been a steady
path. You have to work with it
and make the best of your opportunities.”
Burton says the future is bright
for Long.
“He’ll have a good career
here,” the PSU coach says. “But
to me, the most important thing
is, he embodies everything we
want in our program.”

Long played only special
teams in Portland State’s first
two games this season, running
third string behind senior Shaquille Richard and sophomore
Nate Tago. Long made his debut
in the backfield against Washington State, carrying nine times
for 36 yards. He had only a dozen
attempts in the next three
games, then exploded with his
performance against Northern
Arizona that was the most rushing yards by a freshman in the
FCS ranks all season.
Against the Lumberjacks,
Long and runs of 66, 62 and 61
yards — likely the only time in
school history a player has had
three totes of 60 or more yards
in a game.
The next week, Long rushed
for 118 yards on 21 attempts in a
30-17 win at Weber State. He
gained 21 yards on only six attempts against Idaho State, then
had only two carries on last Saturday’s loss at Montana State.
“All three of our backs are
pretty good,” Burton says. “The
guy who was hitting (against the
Bobcats) was Shaq.”
For the season, Long has 512
yards and two touchdowns. He
ranks second on the team behind
Richard, who has 613 yards and
two scores. Long’s 7.5-yard-percarry average is the best in the
Big Sky.
“Steven has great feet, great vision,” Burton says. “He’s not little,
he’s just short. At running back,
that’s an advantage. You can hide
behind people.
“And he’s really strong. You

Jesuit High players celebrate their Class 6A volleyball championship after beating Central Catholic 3-1 in the state final Saturday at Liberty High.
The Crusaders were undefeated this season.
PrepWatch
Jesuit and Central Catholic
returned to their customary spots
as rulers of Oregon prep volleyball
this season, and the Crusaders
beat the Rams 3-1 in Saturday’s
Class 6A final at Liberty High.
In the past 11 years, Jesuit has
won four state titles, Central
Catholic three.
The Rams took the first set
25-15 in the championship
match, but Jesuit’s tall front line
then took control, and the
Crusaders won sets 2-4 25-18,
25-11 and 25-15 to cap a 31-0
season. Central finished with a
25-5 record that included four
losses to the Crusaders.
Jesuit junior Nicole Peterson
and senior Symone Tran made
first-team all-tournament, along
with Central Catholic senior Kealia
Rosa.
■ La Salle Prep finished second in the 5A volleyball tourney at
Liberty. The Falcons lost 3-1 to St.

Schonely is a

icon and a

Naismith Basketball Hall of
Fame, and now
the legendary
broadcaster
has the ultiSCHONELY
mate honor: A
beer in his name.
Pyramid Breweries has introduced the “Schonz’ Red Session
Ale” that will be marketed
throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. I had a couple
of glasses of it and it’s good —
flavorful and full-bodied.
“It’s nice,” observes Schonely,
85 years young. “I guess I’ve
made it now, eh?”
■ Veteran agent Aaron Goodwin, who reps Damian Lillard,
had a curious choice of shoes
with his suit at the Blazers-Cavaliers game — a pair of black
LeBron James Lifestyle Nikes.
Lillard, of course, is an Adidas
guy. But Goodwin was the first
agent for James, Nike’s biggest
star these days. And Goodwin
chose to pay tribute to his good
friend and former client.
“Just for one night,” Goodwin
said with a laugh. “I’ll put these
shoes in the closet after tonight.”
■ New Cavaliers general
manager David Griffin went outside the box to hire David Blatt
as head coach. Blatt, a Boston
native, played and coached in
Europe for more than 30 years
— he coached Russia to the
bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics — but had never coached in
the NBA.
Blatt did not step into the easiest of situations. Expectations
are through the roof for a team
featuring James, Love and Kyrie
Irving. At least Blatt has a sense
of humor about it when asked
how the transition has been.
“I feel comfortable,” Blatt
says. “One thing I’m doing real
well with is the language. I’ve
been on top of that.”
But the jury will be out for a
while on the David Blatt Experi-
ment. He’ll have to gain the respect of his stars, and that won’t
be easy.
■ Sacramento has optioned
former Oregon State forward
Eric Moreland to its D-League
affiliate in Reno.
■ Mike Clopton and his wife,
Gayle, are in the midst of a road
trip that will carry them to NHL
games in Denver, St. Louis, Detroit, Buffalo and Columbus as
well as the Baseball Hall of
Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. It’s a
well-deserved respite for one of
the best baseball coaches in Oregon prep history, who recently
announced his retirement.
Clopton, who turns 68 next
month, coached 38 years in the
PIL — six at Jackson, 32 at Wilson — and guided the Trojans to
the state championship game
three times, winning in 2006 and
‘12.
“It was time,” Clopton says. “I
have some things to do. I want
to play a little more golf, read
more books, spend more time
with our four grandkids. And
(long-time assistant coach) Jeremy Shetler is the right guy to
take my place.”
Clopton started coaching as a
17-year-old high school junior
when he and boyhood pal
Dwight Jaynes, the Comcast
SportsNet Northwest columnist/
commentator,
served as
Babe Ruth cocoaches for
the Cleveland
Indians.
“I really enjoyed coaching
more than I enjoyed playing,”
Clopton says.
CLOPTON
Clopton did a
marvelous job of it, amassing a
high school record of 613-438 to
rank third on the Oregon bigschool win list behind only Dave
Gasser and Tom Campbell.
Clopton also coached 40 years of
American Legion summer ball.
“Never took a summer off,” he
says. “Missed a couple of games
for weddings. I coached more
than 2,000 Legion games, more
than 1,000 high school games
and more than 200 Babe Ruth
games.
“The highlight for me was the
opportunity to work with the
kids and coaches. There were so
many great friendships that developed over the years. That’s
what I’ll miss the most.”

Eeyore is a calm and
cuddly cat who spends his
time waiting in anticipation
of his next meal. His last
family surrendered him to
the shelter because they
couldn’t care for him any
longer. Now, Eeyore is patiently waiting for his next
home – and hopefully that
home comes fully stocked
with toys and cat treats!
Eeyore can be visited at

Hi, I’m Suz, the beautiful
smoke and white colored
DSH kitty. My fur is very
soft and, compared to my
size, so is my purr! The
markings on my face almost make me look like I’m
wearing a mask – maybe I
can be your very own Supercat? I adore attention
and getting pets and hanging out with people. Right
now, I prefer to be a solo
cat, so I’m looking for a
home where I can be the
queen. Come visit me at
Animal Aid’s Show & Tell

LUCY: I am a beautiful little
girl who loves to cuddle
and be loved on by my person.
I look forward to
meeting you and hope we
can have lots of “snuggle
time soon.” For information
on how to help this cat and
perhaps adopt her please
contact Cat’s Cradle Rescue at 503.312.4296 and
we will put you in touch
with her owner. Cat’s Cradle is an all-volunteer,
non-profit
foster-home
based rescue serving Oregon cats who need new
homes. 100% of your
adoption fee goes to provide for the medical and
physical needs of the cats
in our care. We invite you
to become a foster parent
and experience the great
satisfaction of helping a cat
or kitten in need.
In a calm and attentive
home, Clausine is talkative, friendly, and adventurous. Clausine has a confident and lively personality
when she’s around patient
and slow-moving adults,
but the fast movements of
younger children can
sometimes make her nervous. Clausine adapts
quickly to a new environment and she likes attention. Clausine spends her
time at the Washington

Hello there! I’m Murray, the

Malone is a big bundle of
energy and movement
wrapped in a tiny cat package. An active, busy
household where he can
get lots of attention and exercise would be the best
match. Malone is playful
and tolerant with children
over the age of ten; however, he doesn’t much like
other animals (especially
cats) and would be best as
the only pet in the home.
Malone will be an energetic, affectionate, and
talkative companion. Malone can’t wait to meet you

Waiting for the Myths and facts about the flu vaccine
weight to go F
F
or every earnest dieter,
there is this eternal conundrum: Which way
is better for keeping
lost pounds off, losing them
fast or losing them slowly?
Scientists at the University
of Melbourne investigated.
Their conclusion: Losing
weight gradually doesn’t
change the amount or rate of
weight regained compared
with more rapid weight loss.
But if you want to lose a lot of
weight, you’re likelier to do so
if you do it
quickly.
“Global
guidelines recommend gradual weight loss
for the treatment of obesity, reflecting
the widely
held belief
that fast
WELLNEWS
weight loss is
more quickly
regained,”
said study co-author and dietitian Katrina Purcell. “However,
our results show that an obese
person is more likely to
achieve a weight-loss target of
12.5 percent weight loss and
less likely to drop out of their
weight-loss program if losing
weight is done quickly.”
But here’s the bad news. You
knew there would be bad news.
The researchers found that
three-fourths of the dieters, regardless of whether they lost
weight quickly or they lost
weight slowly, regained all of
the pounds within three years.
Never say diet
The speed-eating record for
potato latkes is 46 in eight
minutes, held by Pete Czerwinski. Warning: Most of
these records are held by professional eaters; the rest are
held by people who really
should find something better
to do.

Stories for the waiting room
Researchers in New York
City conducted a survey of the
metropolis’s notorious rat population, estimated to be about
double the number of human
residents, or about 17 million
rodents. The researchers wanted to get a better idea of the
number and types of pathogens a rat might carry — and
possibly transmit to people.
So they trapped 133 Norway
rats throughout the city’s five
boroughs, focusing on rats living inside residential buildings.
They found that the rats carried 15 of 20 known bacterial
and protozoan pathogens.
They also identified 18 viruses
never seen before.

Medical history
This week in 1958, the first
coronary angiogram was unintentionally performed by
Dr. F. Mason Sones Jr., a pediatric cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic. This diagnostic Xray procedure uses dye injected to visualize blockages of
the small nutrient arteries of
the heart. Animal studies had
shown that the dye in coronary arteries caused heart fibrillation, so it was never
tried on humans. Sones was
using the method to dye only
the openings of a patient’s
diseased vessels but inadvertently injected dye into the
patient’s coronary artery. No
heart fibrillations occurred,
eventually leading to the safe
use of dye for multiple imaging procedures.
Last words
“June 3. Cold Harbor. I was
killed.”
— That was from a note
found in the bloodstained diary of a dead Union soldier at
the Battle of Cold Harbor,
which was in 1864.

1. “Flu shots give you a case
of the flu.”
This isn’t possible, because
the virus in flu vaccine is either killed or inactivated. A
few people may feel achy or
feverish for several days after
vaccination, but that’s a result
of the healthy immune system
being stimulated and developing protection against influenza infection. When someone
truly has the flu, their symptoms are more severe, last
longer, and may be complicated by pneumonia and the
need for hospitalization.
2. “I got the shot last year
so I’m OK.”
Flu viruses mutate every
year, and a person’s immune
protection from vaccination
declines by the next flu season. An annual flu vaccination
is needed to get the best protection.
3. “One year I had a flu shot
and got the flu anyway.”
You may have been exposed
to influenza before the vaccine provided immunity; the
vaccine takes about two
weeks to protect you. Or you
may have contracted another
virus that causes flu-like
symptoms. Although influenza vaccine is not 100 percent
COURTESY: LEGACY HEALTH
Legacy Health provided free flu vaccines in January at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. On Tuesday,
Nov. 11, Legacy will provide free flu vaccines on all five hospital campuses.
Influenza: separating fact from fiction
T
he term “flu” is generically used so often to
describe a wide range of health issues —
from upset stomachs to colds — that the
true impact and risk the influenza virus
poses is misunderstood by most of the public.
Influenza is actually a contagious disease that
can infect the nose, throat and lungs, and lead to
life-threatening health complications.
Fact or fiction? Healthy people don’t get the flu
Fiction. Everyone is susceptible to catching the
flu.
“When people think about the severity of influenza they think typically that it’s just something that
affects the very old and the very young,” says infectious diseases expert, Eric Chang, M.D. of Legacy
Health. “However, I tell them that in my experience
even young, healthy people can get extremely sick
and die from influenza. Everyone is at risk to catch
the flu.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) recommend everybody older than six months
be vaccinated against the seasonal flu. Dr. Chang
agrees, “Everybody who can get a flu shot should
get a flu shot. If you have concerns or questions
about getting vaccinated, you should see your regular doctor.”
effective, it’s the most effective way to reduce influenza
illness and complications and
the spread of influenza to other people.
4. “Once I had the shot and
still got stomach flu.”
So-called “stomach flu,”
which is associated with nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea,
is caused by viruses other
than influenza and is not prevented by influenza vaccination.
5. “Once you get to
Thanksgiving, it’s too late to
get a flu shot.”
Free flu shots
There are many options for getting your flu
shot. Legacy Health is offering FREE flu
shots to people age six months and older
on Tuesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Shots
will be available on all five hospital campuses during the listed times while supplies last.

multi-dose vaccine vials by
germs including bacteria and
fungi. The safety of thimerosal use in vaccine has been
confirmed by the CDC, Food
and Drug Administration and
National Institutes of Health as well as the nongovernment
Institute of Medicine of the
National Academy of Sciences, the Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices
and the American Academy
of Pediatrics. There is no evidence that thimerosal preservative - or any other component of influenza vaccine causes autism.
7. “I can’t get a flu shot
because I’m allergic to eggs.”
The vaccine is beneficial as
long as flu viruses are circulating in our communities,
which in the Pacific Northwest is usually November
through May. Although it’s
best to be vaccinated before
the flu appears in autumn, the
vaccine is still effective in preventing influenza in the
spring.
Most people who have mild
reactions to eggs can be safely given influenza vaccine,
which has egg components.
For people with serious allergic reactions to eggs, there is
an influenza vaccine that has
no egg components. Ask your
health care provider.
6. “Flu vaccine can cause
autism in children.”
8. “I’ve never had the flu, so
I don’t need a flu shot.”
This mistaken belief is
based on a concern about thimerosal, a mercury-based
preservative. For decades, an
extremely small amount of
thimerosal has been used to
prevent the contamination of
You may have been lucky
in the past, but that’s no
guarantee for the future. And
protecting yourself from the
flu also helps to safeguard
the vulnerable people around
you. Besides, you may have
had the flu without showing
symptoms. Up to 25 percent
of people infected with the
flu virus may have minimal
symptoms or none at all.
Yet they can still transmit
the virus, and because they
don’t know they’re contagious they don’t stay home
from work or school. Look at
this way: Many of us have
never had a car accident, but
we still buckle our seat belts
to protect ourselves and stop
at red lights to protect other
people.
There are a few genuine
reasons to delay or avoid the
flu vaccine. If you’re moderately or seriously ill already,
you should wait to be vaccinated until you recover. And
people with a history of
Guillain-Barre syndrome, a
severe neurologic disorder,
should talk with their health
care provider about the best
course to take.
For the rest of us, flu vaccine is safer, cheaper and far
less unpleasant than suffering through the flu and exposing other people to possible infection. Vaccination is
one of the major medical advances of the last 100 years,
and flu vaccination is an important way to safeguard
ourselves, our families and
the people around us.

lu season is right
around the corner, and
you’re already hearing
about the importance
of getting yourself and your
family vaccinated.
However, you might also
hear worries about the flu
vaccine. As the influenza immunization expert for Kaiser
Permanente Northwest, Joseph Kane, MD, wants people
to understand the myths versus the facts.
“Influenza is a serious illness,” says Dr. Kane. “Every
year in the United States
about 226,000 people are hospitalized and
between 3,000
and 49,000
people die
from complications of influenza. The
deaths include
not only
young chilKANE
dren, people
over 65, and
people with chronic health
conditions such as asthma,
heart disease, or diabetes, but
also otherwise healthy children and younger adults.”
That’s why the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that
almost everyone over the age
of 6 months be vaccinated as
soon as the flu vaccine becomes available each fall season. Exceptions may include
people with a severe allergy
to flu vaccine or who have experienced severe complications from previous vaccinations. These individuals
should consult their health
care provider.
Influenza vaccination of
pregnant women is safe and
highly recommended. It provides protection not only for
the women but also for their
infants, who cannot receive
flu vaccination until 6 months
of age. Flu vaccination for everyone else in the household
also provides protection
against influenza for infants
younger than six months old
by reducing their risk of exposure.
Here are Dr. Kane’s responses to some common
myths about flu vaccine:

Northstar. Watching the evolution for that new moment in
style is a smile to carry with us.”
Hager’s mission to carry on
the Native heritage that came
from her father, who was
French Candadian Cree. Before he died, she promised “to
bring Native into the light
through ‘The Dance.’” She
teamed up with Arlie Neskahi
of the Diné Nation, whose father had made a similar prediction involving music. Lastly,
a partnership occurred with
another father/son duo, who
helped back the endeavor and
joined the board.
“The three fathers (came)
from an era when standing for
your heritage was fought (for)
in World War II in other lands,
and even here on this soil,”
Hager says. “(They) gave
through their words the path,
wisdom and strength to keep
the promise and keep on moving forward. Words that are always with us each day.”
In order to carry on the
promise of sharing Native
American culture through
dance, Northstar needed a
dance director. Ultimately, this
rested on Damon Keller, who
has been with the company
since the beginning. A tap, hiphop and contemporary dancer,
Keller openly admits that in
the beginning, he “knew nothing about Native dancing.”
A decade later, however, he
describes himself as “the
glue,” while Hager describes
him as the voice, the patience,
the bridge and the mentor.
“Now, they’re starting to get
used to me after 10 years.
They know where I’m going, I
guess,” says Keller, the lead director and coordinator, who also teaches dance for Portland
Public Schools and owns a studio in Beaverton. “You’re
around somebody, you know
their ins and outs, you know
their quirks and their isms. So,
I can ask them to do more.”
One instance of this was last
year, when the company was
on a plane headed to a performance in St. Louis. Keller was

inspired by a song, and began
asking his dancers if they
thought they could dance to it.
By the end of the flight, they’d
revamped their show and added hip-hop to their performance. While Northstar focuses on sharing Native American
culture, the company also
strives to show how different
cultures don’t have to stand
apart from one another.
“Everybody that you perform for, mostly in the cities,
this is something that’s new to
them,” says Mary Bodine, who
joined Northstar in the beginning, when she was 16 years
old. “I think it’s just being able
to teach and show other people what we do, and explain it
and talk to them, and remind
people that Indians still exist.
You’d be surprised how often
we get asked if we’re real Indians. We get asked every (performance).”
Colt Nicol, another dancer
who’s been involved since the
beginning and who is Hager’s
son, shared similar feelings. In
fact, many of the dancers discussed that much of their passion for performance comes
back to the hope that it might
break stereotypes.
“That’s the thing about it, is
being consciously aware that
we’re still here, and we’re not
hiding. We’re right out in the
open,” Nicol says. “That’s why
we do this dance, and that’s
why we’re a part of this company. We mix with hip-hop,
modern and contemporary, to
show that the new generation
and the old generation can
find its way in the middle, and
then, throughout the entire
planet, we can find peace.”
After the dancers finished
what appeared to be a more
traditional piece, there was
some brief discussion before
music from Rihanna and Drake
began blasting through the
speakers. The dancers maintained their styles but adjusted
to the song, and Keller came in
part way through, incorporating break dancing into the
piece. While the styles differed,
they were also somehow very
much the same.
“I just like the feeling of us
getting out there and sharing
the heritage. It doesn’t just
have to be traditional ways, we
move on in our ways of dancing
— we evolve with the world
that surrounds us,” says Matthew Clements, who’s been a
Northstar dancer for four years
after moving from the Warm
Springs Reservation. “We’re
still here, we’re still Natives,
and we like to get out and show
that we, too, can still survive in
man. My God, people don’t
come much better than Paul
Newman. It was almost like in
the writing I had to ratchet back
describing his looks, his charity,
his auto racing, his sense of humor. I was like a starstruck kid.
With De Niro, I knew there
were dark aspects to him. I was
edgy about getting close to him.
But when I was trying to end
the book, I realized that I admired him a great deal. He’s
played all these tough guys, but
he’s also got this strong and
warm sense of family commitment. In the end, I came to like
him more than when I started,
which was a nice surprise.
Tribune: What makes a
good biography as opposed to
a bad one or an average one?
Levy: You always have two
things going on in a biography. You have a chronology,
which is unavoidable. You
can’t, alas, write about Robert
De Niro without mentioning
“Little Fockers.” You’re responsible to the chronology. I
think of that chronology as a
clothing line — it goes from
one wall to another. Then you
hang things off that clothing
line. That’s what’s interesting
to me in a biography. In De
Niro’s case it’s his upbringing,
the method acting, the relationship with Martin Scorsese, his business decisions, his
filmmaking decisions. They’re
the things that draw your eye.
With Jerry Lewis, Paul Newman and I think with De Niro,
there’s enough hanging off
the clothes line to make it attractive. I’d rather read a
book filled with that sort of
stuff about someone I wasn’t
interested in than a long factual (book) about someone
whose work I admire.
Tribune: What’s next for
you?
Levy: I’m already at work.
Now that I don’t have a fulltime job I play leapfrog with
myself. I’m working on a book
about Rome in the era of the
1950s and early 60s. It’s just a
big juicy, gossipy, rich story
about fashion and movies and
celebrity and Ferraris and Euro-trash, some society scandals, a couple of murders. It’s
got the making of “Cleopatra”, the beginning of Formula
One. That’s a good thing to
hang off a clothes line.

Jessica Christopherson, Mrs. Clackamas County and real estate agent and wife of an airline pilot, deserves applause: “I wanted to do this for my
best friend’s daughter (Izzy Ludemann, 6, in above photo with Jessica). I want to be in this contest as a way to raise money to fight juvenile

for good. Izzy is the sweetest little girl in the world.” Christopherson has been busy raising funds for JDRF (the Juvenile Diabetes Research

Northstar Dance Company celebrates Native
American Heritage Month by educating public
By CAITLIN FELDMAN
Pamplin Media Group
Inside a studio in the Garden Home
Recreation Center, dancers dressed in
vibrant regalia sway and bounce and
turn to the music.
Some of the dancers’ movements are
sharp and springy, while others are soft
and seemingly melt into the ground.
They all have their own styles, varying based on the nations they descend
from.
When Northstar Dance Company
formed in 2005, it came out of Painted
Sky, an organization that formed in 1995
to provide Native American education
and awareness through music. Northstar accepted the same challenge
through dance.
“The dance company had all the challenges of living in two worlds with heritage and urban in pushing the boundaries (of) music and dance to be more
when starting out,” says Mary Hager,
founder and president. “The best part of
dawn is waiting to see what new happening will occur — the same is true for

Levy examines De Niro
the man, admires him
By STEPHEN ALEXANDER
The Tribune
Robert De Niro has played some
of the most iconic film characters of
all time, from young Vito Corleone
in “The Godfather Part II,” to Jake
La Motta in “Raging Bull.”
In his latest biography, “De Niro: A
Life,” Portland author Shawn Levy examines the man behind the characters.
Levy, one of the nation’s foremost film
buffs, is the former
movie critic for The
Oregonian. He has
achieved extraordinary success as an author, including becoming a New York
Times bestseller with “Rat Pack Confidential” and “Paul Newman: A Life.”
The 608-page “De Niro: A Life” (Random House. $32.50) debuted late last
month. Levy will be at Powell’s City of
Books at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 to discuss the
book.
The Portland Tribune caught up
with Levy to talk about the complicated subject of his biography, why De
Niro refused to help out with the book
and what makes a good biography:
&
qa
Portland Tribune: Your books feature an eclectic array of subjects. Why
did you want to write about De Niro?
Shawn Levy: There are a number of
reasons why I would choose any subject. One is the simple
fact that there’s not a
recent book, or a good
book out there, at the
time I make the choice.
So there’s a hole on the
library shelf. I’ve written about older performers, Jerry Lewis,
Paul Newman, the
swinging 60s, the Rat Pack. De Niro is
later than that. Part of me thought it
was time to move forward. But also, I
grew up loving his work. He was the
great actor of the time that I was
becoming a film buff. And then, at the
time I was considering it, I learned
about his archive at the University of
Texas. There was a treasure trove of
never-before-seen stuff. It went, then,
from something I’d want to do to something I could do.
Tribune: What was the process of
writing the book like?
Levy: This was the longest period of
research and writing that I’ve ever un-
The actor declines
requests for interviews,
but author pushes on
dergone. Partly because of the things
that happened in my life. The book was
supposed to be out a year ago and it
got delayed. I was employed full-time
when I began. My pattern then was to
use vacations and flex time to do research. My process is that I gather
anything I can possibly get my hands
on, organize it and then keep sorting
through it and sifting through it until I
know it. Then, writing a biography is
pretty straightforward because you
have the chronology of the life. You
never have to wonder what comes
next.
Tribune: What was the cooperation
like from De Niro?
Levy: Zero. Zero cooperation. From
the time De Niro first got into the limelight, he was a lousy interview. He’s always been that way. He’s an introverted person, he’s watchful. He’s always
avoided interviews. He went from being so embarrassed to talking with the
press, to being someone reluctant, to
being someone suspicious of the press.
He had no interest in cooperating. Because his nature is so well known, many people close to him had no interest
in cooperating. But, I had this archive
in Texas where I’m working in 2012
and I’m looking at a paper he wrote in
1972 about preparing to play Bruce
Pearson in “Bang the Drum Slowly.”
He could reflect on it now and say
something interesting. But he
could never fetch that frame
of mind he had been in 40
years earlier. In some
regards, the original
material is more valuable than the reflection of the living man.
Also, being told no
just makes you
work harder.
Tribune: As a
journalist, you
approach a story and a subject objectively.
When you are
writing a biography, do you have
to be objective, or do
you wind up liking the
people you write about?
Levy: Liking or disliking,
I’ve had both. The previous book
I wrote was about Paul New-
