investment to be paid back

Since late Friday, about half the
people who make the inn their permanent home (at least one has resided there for 12 years, Moore said)
found temporary shelter at the former Peter Boscow Elementary
School — which operated as a grade
school until 2008 and now houses the
Hillsboro Online Academy and the
Hillsboro School District’s Community Transition program for older
special needs students.
Glencoe High School was taken
over by robots Tuesday evening.
Don’t despair, though. They were
friendly robots designed and programmed by Hillsboro students in
grades kindergarten through 12.
Glencoe High School’s “Team Shockwave” robotics group hosted the RoboExpo, a place for teams from all over the
district to showcase their work.
FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC)
combines the excitement of sport with
the rigors of science and technology.
Teams are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork
skills, and build and program a robot to
perform a prescribed task — all under
the FRC rules and time limits.
Tuesday night’s event gave younger
teams the opportunity to demonstrate
their robots, and show off their visual
displays and trophies.
The main event of the evening was
“bagging and tagging” Team Shockwave’s competition robot.
“It is an FRC requirement that robots
be wrapped, tagged, and shipped to the
competition location in advance to ensure that no team is able to work on
their robot for more than six weeks,

K
ay Moore considers herself
one of the lucky ones.
She and her husband of
two years, Vaughn Moore,
were among 30 residents of the Hillsboro Budget Inn displaced by a twoalarm fire last Thursday — the day
before Valentine’s Day — some of
whom are disabled or in wheelchairs.
But Kay and Vaughn lived in one
of the downstairs units, which were
largely untouched by the two-alarm
blaze that erupted around 12:45 p.m.
Feb. 13.
“We had no smoke, and no water
damage,” Kay Moore said Tuesday
as she prepared to return to the tanand-red motel on Southeast Baseline
Street, two blocks west of Tuality
Community Hospital. “We stuck
around until 7 or 8 p.m. the night of
the fire, and then we spent two days
at Vaughn’s mom’s house in Cornelius. “We’re really fortunate that we
were on the ground floor. Lots of the
people on the top floor lost all their
belongings.”
When firefighters from Hillsboro’s
Downtown Fire Station No. 1 arrived
at 432 S.E. Baseline St., they found
heavy fire coming from one of the
second-floor units in the two-story,
cinder block residential motel.
Crews “knocked down the flames in
the room of origin but found the fire
had entered the attic space,” said
“We’re really fortunate that
we were on the ground floor.
Lots of the people on the top
floor lost all their
belongings.”

Department.
With smoke pouring from eaves at
both ends of the building, Hillsboro
Fire’s incident commander called for
a second alarm.
Although firefighters had the fire
under control in less than half an
hour, it was too late for some of the
residents to get away with much
more than their lives.

Bridge: Bill rests in Ways & Means Committee
■ From Page A1
very much in doubt, and it is
not certain the bill will even
come to a vote during the current legislative session, which
ends the second week of March.
The northbound span of the
existing bridge was constructed in 1917 — while World War I
was raging — while the southbound span was built in 1958.
The bridge is widely regarded
as an inefficient bottleneck that
impedes the flow of goods in
the region, a compelling issue
in a state that relies heavily on
exports for its economic viability. The crossing is also considered a serious safety hazard in
the event of an earthquake.
As a result of these factors,
the fate of the bridge has a direct impact on Washington
County, and Feb. 14, three of
the Hillsboro area’s legislators
weighed in with their views
about the project.
State Sen. Bruce Starr (RHillsboro) said the CRC bill has
been moved to the Senate Ways
& Means Committee, and he
thinks it is likely to remain
there.
“I don’t believe it has the
votes to come out of the Ways &
Means Committee,” Starr said.
“It will sit there until ‘sine die’
(adjournment), in my opinion.”
Starr said he, like many Oregon legislators, is concerned
about the ramifications of pursuing an Oregon-only proposal.
“I’m concerned about what it
means, and the relationship be-

cleaning results.
tween Oregon and Washington
legislatures,” Starr said.
Starr pointed out that if the
roles were reversed, Oregon
legislators probably wouldn’t
appreciate it if Washington was
building a bridge into Oregon
that Oregon legislators had not
expressed support for.
But despite these reservations, Starr said he continues
to back the project.
“If the bill would get to the
floor, I’d support it,” Starr said.
“The I-5 bridge is the lifeline. It
carries our commerce. I believe
the state needs a new bridge
for the long-term health of the
economy.”
Starr expressed dissatisfaction with Washington’s legislators for putting Oregon in the
position of having to make a
decision on going it alone.
“It’s really frustrating,” Starr
said. “This is a 10-year project
and millions of dollars are involved. Having the Washington
Legislature not fund it and offer no alternative — not even a
counteroffer — it’s extremely
frustrating.”
Starr said he is hopeful a way
forward can be found before
adjournment.
“I am trying to find a way to
compromise so it has the votes
to pass,” Starr said. “But it will
require compromises all the
way around, and I’m not sure
folks are willing to compromise.”
In his office across the state
capitol building, state Rep. Ben
Unger (D-Hillsboro) said he
was still not sure how he would
vote on the package if and
when it comes to the floor of
the Oregon House.
The current session of the Oregon Legislature now has only about two
weeks to go, and many big decisions — including the fate of the
Columbia River Crossing project — are yet to be determined.
“I voted for the CRC last
time, and I think it’s a really important project. But the new
plan has considerably more
risk to the state,” Unger said.
He added that he needed
more time to figure out how he
would come down on the issue.
“We’ll have a floor vote, I
guarantee,” Unger said. “But I
don’t know how I’m going to
vote. The infrastructure is
needed, but is this (Oregon going ahead on its own) still
worthwhile? It’s a tough call.”
Unger echoed Starr’s frustration with Washington’s legislators.
“If the Washington Legislature had done what it was supposed to do, this wouldn’t be
an issue,” he said. “It’s a lot of
money to waste, and a lot of
money to risk.”
Unger said he senses enthusiasm for the CRC plan may be
waning.
“I don’t have a good feeling
about which way the vote
would go right now,” Unger
said. “There is definitely less
momentum now; more skeptics
and more questions.”
State Rep. Joe Gallegos (DHillsboro) said he understood
the concerns about the risk of
Oregon forging ahead with the
bridge on its own, but that concern does not alter his support
for the project. He did not hesitate when asked whether he
thought the CRC bill would
come to a vote, and whether he
would vote in favor of it.
“Yes. At this point, yes on
both counts,” Gallegos said.
“I’ve studied the issue, and we
need to move ahead. It’s a question of safety, and if not now, it
may be generations before we
could get to this point again —
and we’d lose a tremendous
amount of federal support.”
According to Gallegos, in a
state that relies heavily on exports, an efficient bridge linking Oregon and Washington is
vital to the entire Northwest.
“We need the transportation
avenues for our produce and
high tech industries, and we
need it for our businesses,”
Gallegos said.
Some legislators may believe not much can get done
in Oregon’s short, 35-day legislative session that started
Feb. 3 and ends by the second
week of March.
State Rep. Joe Gallegos (DHillsboro) is not one of them.
On Friday, he was celebrating
the Oregon House’s approval of
one of his key legislative priorities: House Bill 4114, also known
as the “Senior Protections Bill.”
“It was voted unanimously
out of committee and unanimously off the floor. It’s important to protect seniors,” Gallegos said. “It’s a powerful little
bill.”
Gallegos and state Rep. Vic
Gilliam (R-Silverton) were the
chief sponsors of the bill.
In short, HB 4114 helps ensure the protection of Oregonians who may be vulnerable
by providing judges with the
authority to appoint trained
special advocates to protect
them. The protections are designed for older adults and
people with disabilities in particular.
Gallegos, whose district includes the cities of Hillsboro
and North Plains, pointed out
that with a significant portion of
Oregon’s population about to

‘Grand bargain’ pushes UGB saga

Starr proposal geared to
boost safety on busy road
Senator hopes
for quick action
on two bills
By DOUG BURKHARDT
State Sen. Bruce Starr (RHillsboro) is hoping for relatively swift action on two
bills he is focusing on in the
current short session of the
Legislature, which ends the
second week of March.
If approved, Starr’s bills
could serve to make Washington County, and Oregon, a bit
safer and a bit greener.
Starr said he is “passionate”
about a plan to transfer the jurisdiction of Cornelius Pass
Road, part of which is under
Washington County’s control
and part in Multnomah County’s jurisdiction, to state control.
The portion of Cornelius
Pass Road that would be transferred if Starr’s plan gains approval is the stretch between
Highway 26 and Highway 30.
Starr believes Cornelius
Pass Road would be taken care
of more effectively and more
consistently as a state road
rather than a county road.
“That particular road is dangerous,” Starr said. “It’s a
freight route, and a hazmat
(hazardous materials) route.
I’m interested in having the
state take that road over. The
road hasn’t been that high a
priority for the counties.”
Starr pointed out that Cornelius Pass Road is not only a
busy truck route, but is increasingly used by those driving to Hillsboro to go to work.
“It’s more and more a commuter route,” Starr said. “This
should be a priority for Washington County and for business interests. I’m pretty passionate about getting this done
this session.”
The transfer in the jurisdiction of the road would be included as part of Senate Bill
1502, which is being sponsored
by state Sen. Betsy Johnson
(D-Scappoose).
The proposed legislation
covers a variety
of
transportation-related
issues, such
as a requirement

height and markings; making
modifications to the Department of Transportation’s authority to issue variance permits to operate self-loading
log trucks; and reallocation of
funds among transportation
projects listed in the Jobs &
Transportation Act of 2009.
“It’s a catch-all bill,” Starr
said. “We need to add the (Cornelius Pass Road) transfer language on the House side.”
Starr said he thinks the legislation can gain approval before the end of the session.
“There is no real opposition
to the concept,” he said, “just
concern about the words
used.”
Starr is also working on SB
“That
particular
road is

1520, a bill he sponsored. The
legislation would make it easier for those interested in setting up solar panels to do so at
lower costs.
“It would allow those interested in small-scale renewable
energy projects to form a coop to bypass some regulations,” Starr explained. “If you
have a home and want to participate with solar but can’t afford that, you could invest in a
co-op to create resources to
put these projects on the roof
of your house or put them on
community buildings, or a
church.”
The language of the bill calls
for exempting from registration securities “renewable energy cooperative corporations
issue to cooperative corporation members as evidence of
membership in cooperative
corporation or to show members’ respective interests in
assets, reserves or patronage
dividends.”
The bill was given a unanimous vote of support in the
Senate last week, and Starr
said he is optimistic it will
soon pass in the House. He believes it could have a positive
impact on promoting renewable energy.
“It’s a small step, but meaningful,” he said. “Energy renewal groups support it.”
Starr’s proposed legislation
is scheduled for a public hearing Feb. 21, and is awaiting a
hearing in the House Business
& Labor Committee.
“This bill is perfect for a
short session,” Starr said. “It’s
a simple bill with no opposition.”
COURT RULING EXPECTED
A so-called “grand bargain” on land use in the 2014
Legislature would be a longterm boon for the Portland
region, one of its advocates
said last Friday.
Meanwhile, some of the beneficiaries of the bargain had
varied reactions to it Feb. 14,
mostly with some shade of neutrality.
State Rep. Ben Unger (D-Hillsboro), is one of three main proponents of the bargain, along
with Reps. Brian Clem (D-Salem) and John Davis (R-Wilsonville). In an interview Friday
afternoon, Unger said the bargain would designate land
north of Highway 26 near
Brookwood Parkway as a rural
reserve — protected from development for the next 50 years.
In exchange, it would declare
final a 2011 Metro urban
growth boundary (UGB) decision to add land south of Hillsboro for residential development. The bargain, Unger said,
would not add any new urban
reserves to the area around
Hillsboro to make up for the
area that would be barred from
development.
“It’s worth trading the protection of farmland for a while,
and in my opinion, it protects
the two economic strengths of
the region — it allows us to
have land certain for developers but also provides us with
the agricultural, tourism and
quality of life issues that also
help promote a vibrant economy in our area,” Unger said.
“It’s a very Washington County
solution to a real Washington
County problem.”
The proposal was blasted by
Metro Council President Tom
Hughes, who spent hours in
meetings with legislators and
said he thought the push was
coming from five groups: Save
Helvetia, 1000 Friends of Oregon, some Washington County
farmers, homebuilders and the
developers of South Hillsboro.
Save Helvetia advocate Cherry Amabisca said her group
has not been consulted on the
bargain. Until they see something in writing, she said, they
are remaining neutral on the
prospect of a deal.
Group members argued
throughout the years-long reserves designation process that
land north of Highway 26
should be kept as a rural reserve, locking in farming for
the next half century and prohibiting development.
“We’re waiting to see what is
In a late development, the Oregon
Court of Appeals announced
Wednesday that it would be
releasing a ruling on a key urban
growth boundary case Thursday,
after the Hillsboro Tribune’s press
deadline. The case, Barkers Five,
LLC v. Land Conservation and
Development Commission was
filed with the Court of Appeals in
December 2012.
The court’s ruling is likely to have
a major impact on the fate of HB
4078. For details, visit hillsborotribune.com
unfolding in a more definite
form,” Amabisca said. “There’s
all kinds of innuendo, all kinds
of things that we’re hearing,
and since we’re not at the table,
whatever table that is, we have
not been involved in the discussions.”
Similarly, Mary Kyle McCurdy, an attorney for 1000
Friends, was coy about the concept.
“We’re not part of it; it’s not
our deal,” McCurdy said.
The region’s designation of
urban and rural reserves has
been under review by the Oregon Court of Appeals for more
than a year. Until the court
makes its ruling on the case —
which one court representative
called the most complex in the
court’s history — it won’t review Metro’s 2011 UGB expansion and the state’s approval of
it.
Unger said the Portland region got the reserves designation 99 percent of the way to the
finish line.
“But we’re stuck, and in fact
the ‘stuckedness’ is undermining all of that great work,” Unger said. “If we can just get that
last 1 percent unstuck, we can
make this process work the
first time and for a long time to
come.”
He dismissed Metro’s argument that the Legislature
shouldn’t usurp local planning
authority.
“We haven’t had the chance
to super-protect some places
that I think should be superprotected,” Unger said, referring to the land north of Highway 26.
Unless the grand bargain
passes, dirt can’t turn at South
Hillsboro, a planned development south of Tualatin Valley
Highway and Cornelius Pass
Road, until the conclusion of all
legal challenges.

It’s art, not advertising, say ‘barn quilters’
By STEPHANIE HAUGEN
Members of a local quilting group want to install
works of public art throughout the county for free. But a
Washington County sign ordinance is currently preventing them from doing so.
Members of the Westside
Quilters Guild want to create
the “Washington County Quilt
Barn Trail,” mounting decorative wooden murals emulating
quilt patterns on historic barns
along scenic roads and bikeways and other established
tourist routes, such as those for
wineries and lavender farms.
The quilt blocks increase
aesthetic values in the county;
honor the area’s agricultural
heritage; create partnerships
between artists and groups;
and — according to an Ohio
Arts Council study and unofficial chats with Tillamook
County barn quilt organizers
— they boost tourism as well,
according to organizers.
The problem?
The Washington County’s
broad sign ordinance deems
the approximately 8-by-8 wooden blocks as signs, even though
they would be on private property and include no words, logos, pictures or names — only
quilt patterns.
Ordinance 106-193 defines a
sign as a “name, identification,
description, display or illustration, which is affixed to, paint-

Therefore, the blocks would
be subjected to the sign permitting process and $100 fee for
each one.
Members of the guild are
hoping to work with Washington County Commissioners for
either an exception or an
amendment.
“I think the county would
only benefit from the project,”

COMMENTARY
State needs to
enact diesel
regulations
O
regon is known as being an environmental
pioneer in the areas of urban bicycling, use
of renewable energy, the Bottle Bill, recycling and taking action against global
warming.
However, Oregon has not yet stepped up to address
the problem of diesel emissions. Federal law already
requires trucks manufactured after 2007 to meet
clean diesel standards. It is up to individual states,
however, to figure out how to
deal with ongoing emissions
from older engines, and Oregon finds itself lagging behind the other two West
Coast states when it comes to getting old diesel rigs
off the road.
To the south, California continues to enact the
toughest diesel standards in the country — even
higher than the federal standards. California’s standards will require extensive retrofitting of diesel
trucks and buses. By some estimates, nearly 1 million
trucks or buses will need to be retrofited or replaced.
To the north of us, Washington has adopted California’s diesel standards, although it didn’t require the
phaseout of older vehicles. Instead, Washington has
approved at least $5 million in the past few years to
help truckers and other diesel owners retrofit their
rigs or buy new ones.
This leaves Oregon sandwiched between two
“clean” states. It isn’t difficult to guess where the older diesel trucks that don’t meet California and Washington standards are likely to be sold. That’s right:
the good ol’ Beaver State, where we allow diesel pollution concentrations 33 times higher

lates are most hazardous to young people.
These are excellent examples of ways to reduce the
hazards of diesel pollution through collaboration, retrofitting, appropriate public pressure and incentives.
However, Oregon needs a more comprehensive solution — one that brings it more in line with neighboring states while also helping contractors and other
businesses offset the cost of converting their equipment and fleets to cleaner technology.
The harder line approach taken by California has
proven to be politically difficult in Oregon, but Washington’s incentive-based remedy is worth emulating.
Providing financial assistance to businesses that
would need to either retrofit or replace vehicles is a
step in the right direction.
If anything, Oregon’s legislators should go beyond
the $5 million Washington has been able to provide in
the way of funding to retrofit older heavy trucks.
That amount is but a drop in the bucket compared
with a multi-billion dollar state budget — and the ultimate cost of retrofitting all older heavy trucks in Oregon has been estimated at $700 million.
Other tactics can be used as well, including tacking
an extra percentage or two onto the winning bids for
public projects. Contractors then could use the funds
to employ clean-diesel technology.
A mandate to get rid of all old diesel equipment
could be onerous for businesses, contractors and public agencies, but Oregon should take action to keep itself from becoming a dumping ground for vehicles
from Washington and California. The health of Oregon residents should be protected with a more assertive and complete approach.

School dollars must go
to support education
T
here are no easy answers left
to fix our school funding problems. In 2013, we stabilized
schools for the first time in a
decade. We’re not cutting dozens of
days and laying off scores of teachers.
In comparison to what came before,
that’s progress.
But being stabilized in critical condition isn’t good enough. In 2003, the
staff-to-student ratio in Hillsboro’s
schools was 21-to-1. Now, 10 years later,
it’s 30-to-1. Statewide, we’ve laid off
more than 2,000 teachers. Our kids need
more services, more electives, more attention, and more class time. Sadly, in
school districts across the state, we’re
giving students less than what we ourselves were given 20, 40 or 60 years ago.
Since we have stabilized our school
funding, we can now, for the first time
since 2003, start the conversation about
how to make them great again. According to the Quality Education Model, our
schools need about $1.9 billion more to
be the best they can be — and that’s not
going to happen without significant
changes in our state’s spending priorities.
Before we start talking about raising
taxes (and some already are), we
should make sure we are spending our
current school dollars well. Right now,

low the state to re-hire every single
teacher that’s been laid off in the last 10
years. Heck, we could even re-hire
some of the teachers we’ve lost.
Does this mean all these tax breaks
are bad? Of course not; some of them
bring businesses like Intel to the state
that we otherwise wouldn’t have. But
does it mean that all of them are worth
it? No. In fact, I bet most of us would
choose schools over some of these tax
breaks in a heartbeat.
This February, I have a bill that
would put all school dollars in a “lockbox” to make sure they are used only
for school districts. It’s only the start of
this discussion — and it’s only one
piece of finding the $1.9 billion we need
— but it’s an example of why we should
re-examine our spending and our priorities.
Our schools are drowning in kids and
suffocating from a lack of resources.
Cutting the tax break handouts would
solve part of the problem.
I am looking forward to the year
ahead as we start the tough conversations about how we build the communities we want by creating the school system we deserve.

Harm of marijuana
dispensaries outweighs
potential benefits
I
believe it’s important to communicate with truth and clarity about issues that impact public safety, even
when in hotly debated circles.
Two documents have been published this month that affect medical
marijuana dispensaries in our county.
On Jan. 15, Oregon adopted temporary
rules for the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program in Oregon. In addition, the Washington County Law Enforcement Council published a formal
position statement on marijuana dispensaries. This council is comprised of
the city police chiefs; myself, as your
sheriff; and the district attorney of
Washington County.
Further, as the Law Enforcement
Council’s position statement conveys, I
believe marijuana dispensaries are
contrary to a safe, secure and healthy
community. It’s not hard to imagine
that increased availability will bring
increased use, particularly among
youth. The harms outweigh any possible benefits. Therefore, I support both
of these efforts.
At a minimum, it is reasonable that
local governments — state and county
— should choose whether to permit
marijuana dealers in their communities and, if authorized, establish busi-
ness rules regarding their operations.
The Oregon Legislative Counsel’s office recently concluded that past legislation (HB 3460) blocks most municipal
laws on medical marijuana facilities.
For these reasons, I support Senate
Bill 1531 this legislative session, which
seeks to clarify that local governments
may regulate medical marijuana establishments.
I urge you to review SB 1531 and to
contact your legislators to share your
views.
I’m proud law enforcement leaders
in Washington County can join in one
voice on this important issue.

Hillsboro resident blasts
condition of neighboring
county’s roads
T
he road conditions around Yamhill
County really suck. Maintenance
on the gravel roads is very near a
Third World experience, except it’s not
dirt but mud. The county sends a
grader through once in a great while,
and the road looks nice for about half
a day at best. Then it goes into a condition that was worse than before the
grader.
It’s a mud slurry. You wash your car
and drive down the hill and you can’t
make out what color it is. We ask for
gravel and the county sends up one
truckload and calls it good. Not good.
It’s lousy maintenance.
Other people must be complaining
too, or maybe I’m just a complainer, or
maybe other people are afraid to complain.
People need to speak when the government doesn’t do its job.

for small businesses.
Most of you people have computers.
Just type in the effect of WalMart on
small businesses and read the article
from Maggie Wood. Very interesting.
I think the chamber should rethink
what was said, and apologize to the
small businesses in Hillsboro for their
thinking on this subject.

Boundary changes coming
That, according to minutes
from boundary committee
meetings, could create a 45-minute bus ride for some students.
One Quatama parent questioned the proposed redrawn
boundaries that in effect splits
her neighborhood in half, keeping half within the Quatama
boundary and sending the other half to West Union.
“I worry that you are looking
at numbers and not at people,”
the woman said.
The proposal also has 98 students moving from Tobias to
Indian Hills, and 34 students
moving from Witch Hazel to
Rosedale.
The proposal allows an option for families affected by
boundary changes to petition
to stay at their current schools.
Additionally, students currently attending a school other
than their neighborhood school
on a transfer can continue next
year, except at Orenco and Quatama. If the proposal goes forward, all transfers will be revoked at those schools.
Several parents questioned
making boundary changes to
accomodate students the district anticipates will move in.
“You’re talking about developments that aren’t up yet,” one
man said.
“We understand the frustration,” district spokesperson
Beth Graser told the audience.
“We have a problem to solve.”

Hillsboro School District’s
Boundary Adjustment Committee goes back to work
next week to put together a
final boundary change proposal to take to the school
board.
After four public input meetings regarding boundary
changes affecting nine elementary schools, the committee will
meet twice more to consider the
public input it received and to
refine a proposal to take to the
school board March 18.
Boundary changes will take
effect next school year.
Under the current proposal,
Orenco and Quatama elementary schools are most heavily
impacted, with 108 students at
Quatama and 49 students at
Orenco affected.
The areas near those two
schools are growing the fastest
in terms of population, with
1,650 new residences either under construction or completed.
About 100 people attended a
public input meeting Tuesday
night at Orenco Elementary
School. They voiced concerns
about changing feeder groups
(a portion of Orenco’s current
boundary is proposed to go to
Brookwood Elementary, which
feeds into Hillsboro High).
At Quatama, the majority of
the students would move to
West Union Elementary School.
In fact, West Union’s proposed
southernmost boundary would
reach to West Baseline Road.

Glencoe High
School will present
the best of both
this weekend and next with its
production of the Tony Awardwinning “The Drowsy Chaperone.”
In this witty comedy-musical, a man reminisces about a
fictional musical from the
Roaring ‘20s called “The
Drowsy Chaperone.”
As the contrived musical
plot is revealed — complete
with tap numbers, dazzling
Charleston dances and skating
— the audience comes to understand the ridiculousness
and genuine comfort that musical theater brings to the man
and to thousands of others the
world over.
Glencoe’s young actors got a
lesson in a classic style and
also learned about the highs
and lows of early 20th century
musical theater, said director
Lori Daliposon.
“The production’s central
theme also hits a strong chord
with the group. The musical’s

WalMart: ‘We took to heart’ commission’s suggestions

enhancing landscaping, including planting 77 new sequoia
trees; increasing the setback of
the development from the closest neighbors; and adding
benches and large brick planter boxes.
Also, WalMart and the residential complex would use many
of the same earth-tone colors
and the plants and landscaping
elements would be coordinated.
“There was an effort to create
an integrated site with a betteraligned color palette,” said Wall.
Although the size of the proposed store was not altered,
project managers noted a major
reduction in the size of the residential complex — from 242 to
208 units.
“We appreciated all the feedback and the time we were given
to implement the changes,” said
Wall. “This is a better-suited development because this is something the community has pro-

vided a lot of feedback about.
We hope it will be a successful
shopping center and bring economic development for the area.”
The site is proposed to be
built in four phases, with the
WalMart store coming first, and
then the residential complex. After that, two other commercial
buildings would be added at the
corners of the parcel.
Planning Commission President Katie Eyre took note of the
extent to which the proponents
had altered their concept to
meet the concerns that were
raised.
“There is a dramatic difference from what we saw in November,” Eyre said.
“We prepared very carefully,”
said Greg Hathaway, an attorney working on behalf of
WalMart. “So much was said at
that earlier meeting. We kind of
started all over. It has been three
months since we were here, and
we reviewed every comment by
the planning commissioners
and all the public comments.
“This is a really good project,
and it’s better after you took us
to task.”
Before taking testimony from
the public, Eyre reminded citizens that some issues could not
be addressed by the planning
commission.
“We cannot address labor
practices or impacts on schools,”
Eyre said. “We are not able to
consider those issues.”
The first public speaker to offer testimony was Doug Barrett,
chairman of the Greater Hillsboro Area Chamber of Commerce. Barrett urged the commissioners to give the WalMart
In a marathon public session that stretched over
six hours, the Hillsboro Planning Commission
reviewed the developer’s changes to the
proposed “Sequoia Village” project and heard
from numerous citizens, almost all of whom
opposed the project.
proposal a green light, saying
the Sequoia Village development would create jobs and
bring needed housing for the
area.
“It will create 75 new jobs and
add to the city and county tax
base,” Barrett said. “We give
WalMart a lot of credit for listening to the concerns of residents.
This will bring jobs, shopping
and housing options to the community.”
Almost all the citizens who offered testimony to the commissioners had an opposing view,
however.
Gerald Fischer, who said he
has lived in the community for
40 years, was worried about the
increasing levels of traffic.
“This location is not suited for
that development,” Fischer said.
“The roads are not made to handle what we have now. It’s going
to be a freeway, and that intersection is very difficult already,
Air quality and noise are extreme now and will be beyond
extreme if this project is approved. It’s just going to be too
much.”
461504.010914
Negative impacts
Another speaker blasted the
city of Hillsboro for considering
allowing a WalMart into the area in the first place.
“Data shows the negative impacts from WalMarts, and one of
the greatest fears people have is
that property values may begin
to slip,” she said.
She pointed out that the city of
Hillsboro expects to gain tax rev-
enues from the proposed development, but warned that was
unfair to neighborhood residents.
“This gain will be made off
the backs of people who live
nearby,” the
woman said.
“Is this really
the best use of
this property?
Is the value the
city gains today worth future lawsuits?”
Janeen Sollman, a member of the Hillsboro School
Board, said she
was speaking
— Rachel Wall, as a private citWalMart izen in urging
spokeswoman the planning
commissioners
to reject the
Sequoia Village proposal.
“Cornelius Pass Road will feel
a deep impact,” Sollman said.
“There will be more trucks coming up and down the road, and
24 hours a day. Please say ‘no’ to
this proposal.”
At the end of the hearing, the
record was closed. The issue is
expected to be before the planning commission at its March 12
meeting. That session will not
be open for public testimony and
the commission is likely to vote
the WalMart proposal up or
down at that time.
Proponents expressed optimism after the hearing, pointing
out that the commissioners had
“There was

create an
integrated
site with a
betteraligned
color
palette.”
some positive things to say at
the end.
Vince Dimone, one of the opponents of the proposed
WalMart, said approving the
proposed Sequoia Village development would be a mistake.
“There are many unknowns
about this proposed development — issues that should concern the Hillsboro Planning
Commission — and that should
tamp down its apparent rush to
grant approval,” Dimone said.
“Why should the planning commission exist at all if it is simply
a rubber stamp for monied interests, for resource-rich applicants like WalMart?
“Population growth, traffic
growth and public safety issues
rise to the top of these unknowns, and it seems so reckless that the planning commission ignores probable outcomes
that directly impact our neighborhood vitality and quality of
life.”
Wall said she was hopeful the
alterations in the WalMart proposal would be sufficient to gain
the approval of the planning
commission.
“We updated the concept for
Sequoia Village so that it would
be a good fit for our customers
and the community,” said Wall.
“We really took to heart the suggestions from the commission.
We are very pleased with the
latest feedback and look forward to providing Hillsboro residents with a store that meets
their needs and the vision for
the community.”

We all love Tasha. She is
quiet, funny, playful and
spunky. Cat’s Cradle Rescue is helping her find a
home for the 2nd half of
her life - she is 9-years old
(which we have a hard
time believing) and was
originally
“left
behind”
when her person moved.
She would like to be a single cat but has lived with
other cats in the past. If
you are a senior the adoption fee is waived due to
our Senior 4 Seniors program. If not, she is $40 or
a donation. We want the
home to be right more than
the money involved. She is
not “for sale” - - she is for
ADOPTION. We love this
cat! We foster and cannot
KEEP - but to find her the
right home will make us all
happy,
including
YOU.
Available to see during the
week near the Hillsboro
Airport by appointment.

To say that Bonnie is outgoing is putting it lightly. Bonnie’s normal response to meeting a stranger is to get
as close as possible and purr profusely. She hasn’t met
a person she doesn’t like and shows her affection by
gently sticking by your side when invited. Our vet estimates her to be about 8 years old. She had been
abandoned and had to scrap for food so unfortunately
she lost a considerable amount of weight.
Bonnie Blue is available for adoption under our Seniors
4 Seniors adoption program with a sliding fee scale.
Call 503-312-4296 for further information or go to our
website at CatsCradleRescue.com to apply to adopt
this friendly kitty.

Fire: Experts estimate damage
to Hillsboro motel at $100,000
■ From Page A1
American Red Cross officials
stepped in Friday night to provide aid to residents in the facility’s gymnasium, offering
them cots, blankets and food.
“We’ve had a shelter agreement in place with Hillsboro
Fire & Rescue and the American Red Cross for a number of
years,” said Beth Graser,
spokeswoman for the district.
“After the fire, they approached
us about activating the shelter
in the Boscow gym.
“We ensured the heat and
electricity were on, bathrooms
were stocked and that our security company was aware of
the use — and the Red Cross
set up and managed the shelter
inside.”
Although the Moores were
able to find a room at the Beaverton Budget Inn from Feb. 15
to 18, Kay was unhappy with
the way some of her friends
were treated. Two of the folks
affected by the fire are wheelchair-bound, and another woman — who has cerebral palsy
— uses a walker, noted Moore.
“There was a place for them
to shelter, but there were no
showers, and they couldn’t
bring their animals,” she said.
“I think the people in wheelchairs should have been put up
somewhere else.”
Paula Negele, communications director for the Oregon
Trail Chapter of the Red Cross,
said health services volunteers
addressed the physical and
mental health concerns of the
residents over the five nights
the agency managed the shelter.
“What we do is provide for
folks’ basic, immediate needs,
including food and shelter,”
said Negele, who confirmed the
Red Cross could not house the
residents’ pets. “In a sheltering
situation we can’t allow [pets]
because of allergies and other
factors.
“We understand people want
to be near their pets, but we
normally work with an animal
shelter to make sure pets have
temporary housing in a situation like this.”
Downstairs residents return
Tuesday at 10 a.m. was the
deadline the Red Cross set for
inn residents to be out of the
school gym and for Salvation
Army personnel to take over
relief tasks, offering hot meals
and assistance locating alternative housing.
By then, Budget Inn manager
Nina Sola had given the allclear for some of her residents
to return.
“Most of the downstairs residents came back today,” Sola
said Tuesday afternoon. “The
upstairs had to be completely
evacuated because it tested
positive for asbestos that affected the ceilings, the flooring
— everything.”
Sola, who has owned and
managed the inn for 25 years,
lives in one of the downstairs
units. She rents rooms by the
day, the week and to extendedstay customers.

lived at the inn a year on May

A firefighter sprays water inside a top floor unit at the Hillsboro Budget Inn, which caught fire Feb. 13. A
man living upstairs had been playing with matches and likely started the blaze, said the inn’s owner/
manager, Nina Sola.
17, pledged to help Sola by pulling charred and smoke-damaged furniture and other items
out of affected rooms and “help
clean things up.”
With the power back on, Sola
said, residents of a dozen firstfloor units were invited to return. She’s still trying to make
sense of what happened last
week.
“There was a gentleman in
Room 26 on the upstairs floor
who admitted to starting the
fire,” she said. “I heard he was
playing with matches.”
That man’s hand was injured
in the incident, Sola added.
“One of the motel’s residents
approached firefighters with
burn injuries and was transported by Metro West Ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland with
non-life threatening injuries,”
said Montgomery.
Assisting Hillsboro firefighters were crews from Washington County Fire District 2, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue and
the Cornelius Fire Department.
Flames caused heavy damage to a pair of adjoining rooms
as well as smoke damage to
several more, Montgomery
said. Firefighters had to pull
down ceiling material and cut
holes in the roof to fight the
fire. The damage estimate on
the inn was placed at about
$100,000.
“Fire and police investigators have examined the scene,
interviewed witnesses and will
be talking to the occupant who
suffered burns in an effort to
determine how the fire started,” said Montgomery.
therefore gaining an unfair advantage over others,” said
coach Chris Steiner.
For the current competition,
teams had to create robots that
can throw a large exercise ball
through a target. During the
upcoming contests (March 7-8
at Oregon City High School and
March 20-21 at Wilsonville High
School), teams must work
closely with randomly assigned
alliance teams to complete
their robots’ performance task.
Team Shockwave has 32 stu-
dent members and 15 adult
mentors — most of whom are
professional engineers. Since
January, team members have
been working six days per
week — 2.5 hours on weekdays
and up to 12 hours on Saturdays — to design, build, program and test their robot,
Steiner said.
Special guests in attendance
Tuesday included U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, state Sen.
Bruce Starr and state Rep. Joe
Gallegos. Also in attendance
was Intel’s corporate affairs
manager, Jill Eiland.

not chiefs. With the passage of time, it has also come to mean friendly people
and friends.

Thirsty Lion shaves heads Sunset wins latest round
in year’s cancer fundraiser in trapshoot league
Each year, Thirsty Lion
celebrates St. Patrick’s Day
at its downtown Portland,
Hillsboro and Tigard locations with live music, Irish
food specials, a selection of
52 beers on tap and a goal to
shave heads and raise thousands of dollars for St. Baldrick’s Foundation in the
fight against childhood cancer.
This year, with the addition
of the new Thirsty Lion in the
Streets of Tanasbourne (2290
N.W. Allie Ave.) in Hillsboro,
the sixth annual St. Patrick’s
Day celebration should be the
largest to date and raise the
greatest amount of money for
St. Baldrick’s.
Each year on St. Patrick’s
weekend, Thirsty Lion teams
up with the St. Baldrick’s
Foundation, a charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research, and
hosts three signature headshaving events at each of the
Thirsty Lion locations.
“Shavees” who pledge to
shave their heads ask friends
and family to make donations
“on their head” throughout
the months of February and
March and in return, they attend Thirsty Lion’s St. Patrick’s Day Weekend Festival
and shave their heads in soli-
darity with kids with cancer.
In 2013, Thirsty Lion raised
nearly $50,000 for childhood
cancer research and had more
than 200 “shavees.”
This year, with the addition
of Thirsty Lion in Hillsboro,
the locations will join together
to honor local children suffering from cancer with the goal
to shave more than 300 heads
and raise $60,000 for the St.
Baldrick’s Foundation.
To join Thirsty Lion’s fight
against childhood cancer, visit
stbaldricks.org/campaigns/
thirstylion.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is committed to funding
research to find cures for
childhood cancers and give
survivors long and healthy
lives.
St. Baldrick’s coordinates
its signature head-shaving
events worldwide where participants collect pledges to
shave their heads, raising
money to fund research.
Since 2005, St. Baldrick’s
has awarded more than $127
million to support lifesaving
research, making the foundation the largest private funder
of childhood cancer research
grants.
For more information about
the St. Baldrick’s Foundation,
please call 1-888-899-BALD.
