Strange
sale
Jeff Baldwin not ready to
say goodbye to family’s
former grocery store
BY THACHER SCHMID
T
he old Northrup Food Center—vacant and rotting for
15 years despite occupying
a coveted parcel—has finally sold.
Its walls could tell a story of
colorful characters, contrasting
cultures and economic transition
as New Portland uproots the old
until the only remaining value from
a three-generation family grocery
business can be calculated by the
square feet of earth it covers.
It’s not only the walls who aren’t
talking. And the picture only grows
murkier around the circumstances
of the sale.
The 100x100-foot property at
1120 NW 21st Ave. sold April 28
for $1.1 million.
Seller Jeff Baldwin’s concern for the homeless, who have
camped on the premises with his
blessing for years, doesn’t extend to
the rest of the neighborhood, which
has complained so long about accumulated junk on the property that
unpaid city fines now reach six figures. Nor will Baldwin tell his side
of the story to the press.
Baldwin also spurned a steady
stream of developers, many of
whom traveled to his home to woo
him. All lost out to a buyer willing
to cater to Baldwin’s interests—
even going to a UFO festival with
him—to win his trust.
George Fussell and partner John
Frederick Hauser were willing to
accept terms requiring them to
retain the existing building at least
10 years. Without that deed restriction, one local real estate agent said
the lot could go for as much as $2.6
million.
“In my estimate, [the $1.1 million price tag] is nearly paramount
to theft,” said Mark Hush, managContinued on page 22

he fifth annual tour of historic Nob Hill homes-featuring five houses never before opened to the
public, is Father’s Day, June 19.
“Each home tells a story of how fine architecture, community service and early Portland life contributed to the
high quality of living Northwest Portland enjoys today,”
said Dan Volkmer, who has organized the tours.
The event benefits the Northwest Children’s Theater,
which operates in the historic Northwest Neighborhood
Cultural Center at 1819 NW Everett St.
“To have a thriving arts venue in our neighborhood,
serving the greater Portland youth community, enriches
our neighborhood in so many ways,” said Volkmer, who
is also a Cultural Center board member.

Editor’s Turn
Et tu, neighbor?
BY ALLAN CLASSEN | EDITOR & PUBLISHER
T
hwarting public records requests
has become high sport for
the government class. Every
politician or bureaucrat not worth his
salt has discovered how to fend off
document requests by hanging a high
price tag on the service.
The NW Examiner has run into $20,000
cost estimates for medical records on
Oregon Zoo elephants, a price range
that ends the conversation at small
publications and most of the larger
ones.
I hate to see this pricing practice gaining
traction at even the grassroots level.
Neighbors West/Northwest, the coalition
of 12 inner Westside neighborhood
associations, is developing a rate schedule
for releasing public documents. Even
if the fees cover only the actual labor
costs involved in satisfying requests—in
most cases to simply forward emails—I
believe they are missing the bigger
picture.
They are not harmed if citizens unleash
harsh criticism of city services. In fact,
such criticism, when blended with
many points of view in full discussion,
helps achieve understanding and often
even a consensus.
What if information requests come
from malcontents hoping to uncover
errors and misjudgments by their
neighborhood representatives? They
must be honored if there is to be
accountability. Most neighborhood
association board members win
uncontested elections, providing slim
evidence that they speak for a wider
constituency. The only test of their
connection to broader community
opinion may be in their handling of
challenges to their performance. If
representatives fear their own words or
deeds will be used
against
them, that’s
the price of
claiming to
speak for
others.
considering public records fees now is
not mere coincidence. The president
of NWNW has threatened to remove
the Goose Hollow Foothills League
from the coalition for disruptive and
discourteous behavior. That led to a
proposed mediation between coalition
President Felicia Williams and three
GHFL activists. A coalition board
member offering to mediate sent an
ostensibly private email to Williams
saying “I have your back,” suggesting
bias at least and perhaps deeper
scheming.
Suspicion of such scheming led Goose
Hollow resident Roger Leachman to
make a public records request of the
coalition and each of its board members
individually.
Evidence that the proposed records fee
is not really about cost recovery is that
the coalition office has a new system
that can easily and inexpensively
collect all emails it sends or receives.
Calculating the time required to satisfy
information requests might take almost
as long as forwarding the emails.
The sore point has to do with the board
members, who moan about having to
search their personal computers for
NWNW-related emails. Some members
may not be able to find and forward
relevant emails as readily, but they
aren’t even talking about recovering
their costs through a fee system. To
them, it’s apparently more about the
principle or annoyance. They don’t
enjoy providing evidence to their
detractors.
So the fee would apply where there are
no substantial costs, and where costs (or
at least angst) are higher, there would be
no fee. In other words, costs aren’t the
real issue.
That
NWNW is
The public’s right to know is being
shortchanged on trumped up financial
justifications.
As an organization dedicated to
empowering citizens and promoting
grassroots democracy, disseminating
information is at the heart of NWNW’s
mission. This is how citizens know
what’s going on in their neighborhood
and how their neighborhood
representatives interpret this mission.
If a private business wants to comb
through records to compile sales leads,
it should underwrite the price of the offmission work triggered. If individuals
want information in pursuit of their
interests as citizens—even if it makes
the citizens currently in charge of those
records uncomfortable—that is what
makes democracy work, and we should
all pay for it, as we do by paying our
taxes and indirectly funding Neighbors
West/Northwest.
While departments of local
government are tempted to see public
acceptance of their programs as
integral to maintaining and funding
them, neighborhood associations
are not primarily service providers.
There were subtle hints that the new records policy had gone too far.

Bias infects city plan
After reading the very informative May 2016 NW Examiner, the
city slogan could be: “The city that
works—for some.”
[“Stakeholder gets juicy height
bonus”] revealed hands in the proverbial cookie jar. The NW Examiner has taken its Fourth Estate
responsibilities very seriously.
Without professional investigative
journalism, public memory fades
and presents a small risk.
The Central City 2035 Plan will
set the legal template for building
heights for Portland’s urban land
development for many years. For
those who own significant properties in the central city, the financial
stakes are enormous. Many on the

Advisory Committee certainly had
a stake in the plan, some so much
so that city and state ethics laws
definitely applied.
Stakeholders so burdened could
have presented their case for specific building height increases, but
not as voting SAC members. Such
proposals could stand on their own
merits. It is possible that some
maximum building height decisions would have been the same,
but the decision path would have
been much more palatable and
legally sustainable.
The investigative focus of the NW
Examiner should include the root
cause of biased planning advice to
the city. While the role of the SAC
was “strictly advisory,” it was frequently cited when proposed West
Quadrant plans were presented to
the City Council. While SAC members bear the burden of financial
revelation, light should be shed
squarely on the Bureau of Planning
and Sustainability. The names of
owners of major West Quadrant
properties were certainly not state
secrets, nor was the existence of
ethics laws. Many well qualified
applicants for SAC membership
who actually lived in the West
Quadrant were dismissed in favor
of those with financial stakes in the
plan. This suggests incompetence
or collusion at the bureau, or both.

Bridge views in jeopardy
Toward the end of the slideshow
that you cover in your article on the
Vista Bridge, an old-timer took the
floor and described the time when,
years ago now, the city planned to
install unsightly gooseneck lights
on the Vista Bridge. In defense of
the bridge, activists organized citywide, and—with the city’s blessing—a toll barrier was erected at
each end of the bridge. Before long,
the toll collected was sufficient
to pay for the lights that grace the
Vista Bridge to this day.
But history tends to repeat
itself. Once again, the bridge is
under attack from the city. If the
Planning Commission’s current
draft is adopted, the good work of
a previous generation will be rendered null and void. It won’t matter
what lights have been installed on
the bridge because the iconic view
of it on Jefferson Street will lose the

Exceptionally effective behind the bar with his prodigious
memory, maximization of strategy and conservation of

charming, unflappable personality mastered rapport with
folks from all walks of life, making mates out of coworkers and customers alike. Rob’s greatest joy was introducing and uniting his favorite people so that he could sit back and watch in satisfaction the
family he created. Rob took fashion cues from no one, finding no good reason to cover
up his “temple of a body.” His unwavering affection for shorts could not be dissuaded,
even by the Portland Snowpocalypse of 2014. Loved and missed by so many, Rob’s
memorial was celebrated May 22, 2016 at Anderson Roofing with a constant, streaming
flow of supporters, booze and BBQ. His friends and family would like to thank the following local neighborhood establishments for their generous contributions to the party:

legal protection that has preserved it
for decades. The bridge will vanish
behind a wall of high-rise monoliths
extending several blocks from Collins Circle westward. At that point,
the public-spirited Portlanders of
years past needn’t have bothered
with their toll barriers. If the Vista
Bridge can’t even be seen, the gooseneck lights proposed by the city
back then would have served just
fine after all.
I lived and worked in small-town
Ohio for upwards of 30 years. I miss
the honest Midwestern candor that
allowed a governor of the state to
declare in public, “In Ohio, profit
isn’t a dirty word.”
As is ably documented in the
pages of your newspaper, the same
thing could be said about Portland
but never is. The hypocrisy here has
really hit this newcomer between
the eyes.
Cliff Weber
SW 18th Ave.
Blame the rules
I strongly oppose new development blocking views of the Vista
Bridge, but Dan Petrusich should
not be vilified for participating in
the public process that has raised
that possibility. Petrusich appears to
have followed the rules that existed
at the time he signed up for the
West Quadrant Plan Stakeholders
Advisory Committee. The fact that
those rules did not provide adequate
protection against conflicts of interest is a failing of the rules, not of the
people who followed the rules.
Furthermore, Petrusich’s reluctance to indulge the city’s afterthe-fact disclosure requirement is
understandable: Ex post facto laws
have received widespread criticism
because they unfairly hold individuals to a standard that they could not
have known about in advance. On
principle, we all ought to challenge
instances in which government offi-
cials impose regulations that take
effect retroactively.
However, despite disagreeing with
your coverage of Petrusich, I extend
my sincere thanks to the Examiner
for providing a venue in which our
community can deliberate over the
important issues it faces. I hope
the Examiner’s coverage, in this
instance, will encourage Petrusich
and the community to work toward
a mutually agreeable solution that
preserves views of the Vista Bridge
and allows for sensible development.

Thanks to NW Examiner
Heartfelt thanks to the NW Examiner for recognizing the Concerned
Portland Citizens behind the ethics
complaint to the City Ombudsman.
We wish we could thank Allan
Classen and the Examiner personally
and openly for honoring Concerned
Portland Citizens at last month’s
Community Awards. Unfortunately, we have learned of concerted
efforts to silence those who speak
out against unethical insider dealings, and for more open, meaningful neighborhood involvement in
Portland. We have had to learn the meaning
of the acronym SLAPP, which refers
to “strategic lawsuits against public
participation.” That’s what developers can do when they want to silence
the democratic opposition of rightful stakeholders. We have already
witnessed other effective tactics of
intimidation and marginalization in
our city, sometimes of entire neighborhood associations. In fact, it is
a telling sign of the unacceptable
atmosphere in our city that even
though we are a diverse coalition
that represents four different neighborhoods within the West Quadrant,
we were repeatedly advised that it
would be prudent to remain anonymous in making our complaint. We are very gratified that this
award has been made by the NW
Examiner and its publisher, who
are probably more deserving of an
award than us. Allan has worked
openly and courageously to shine a
spotlight on the areas where we as a
city need much greater transparency
and ethical accountability in land
use decisions, and in other government dealings. Notably, the Examiner has been a
champion of a much stronger, more
meaningful neighborhood involvement system. We note with pleasure that mayor-elect Ted Wheeler
has also pledged to advance this
cause. Our neighborhood system
played a key role in Portland’s successes in recent decades—successes
that we all now take for granted.

Parks bureau responds
Regarding “Couch playground
plans revised to save elm trees,”
[May 2016], we wish to correct
information about the decision in
favor of the concrete plaza to replace
the old bricks.
In an effort to make all city of Portland facilities and programs accessible to all, the city has embarked
on a comprehensive Americans with
Disabilities Act Transition Plan process. The plan keeps us in compliance with federal law and identifies
barriers which impede access to city
facilities that are open to the public.
In order to properly correct the
ADA issues such as uneven slopes
and tripping hazards created by tree
roots and settling, the entire plaza
surface needs to be removed, a new
sub-base installed, and the surface
replaced. PP&R and the independent design
team Greenworks looked at reusing
the bricks that were installed in the
mid-1970s and at installing concrete
pavers that look like bricks, but
either of these options would cost
the project nearly twice as much to
install and would exceed the bond’s
allocation for the plaza improvements. In the public comments from Open
House No. 1 in October 2015, 86
percent of the community said their
priority was to focus the bond spending on the playground replacement
over the plaza improvements. After
sharing the findings on the costs of
bricks, pavers and concrete paving
at the second open house, 59 percent
of those responding preferred the
concrete option, 22 percent preferred
the bricks and 19 percent preferred
the pavers. The concrete surface is the best
option for the plaza improvements
because it is the most cost effective;
it will be the most durable and easiest to maintain in the long term; and
it is responsive to the public input
received. Conduit installation is not a factor
in the decision for the paving surface. Correcting the ADA deficiencies is the goal of the plaza improvements.

City for families
If you want this to be a livable
city, put a world class playscape in
Couch Park. I live here. I don’t have
young kids. I am not a MLC parent. I want more than happy hours
and brew pubs. I want to hear the
laughter of children. More Jamison
Squares and less dog runs. Let’s
have a real city for real families. How about a new Northwest elementary/middle school at the Main
Post Office site, or am I just dreaming?

interior is a complex mélange of Tudor, Colonial Revival and Arts & Crafts
styles. It is well worth the steep climb up to the house for the view of the
Willamette River and the Fremont Bridge from the front patio. Original owner
Walter Honeyman was the secretary of the Honeyman Hardware Co. founded
by his father, William B. Honeyman. Lewis was Walter’s brother-in-law and de
facto family architect. Despite the large size of the house, the Honeymans had
only one child, Jane.
The original plans included many intriguing rooms, including a library, a
powder room, a kitchen, multiple bedrooms and two sleeping porches. The
most intriguing room may be the basement bedroom with its semisecret bar.
Walter Honeyman openly flouted Prohibition, and was nearly caught bringing
liquor from California to Oregon in 1919, so one can imagine that he might have
commissioned this feature. (Oregon went dry in 1914, well ahead of national
Prohibition 1920-1933.) The extended Honeyman family included Nan Wood
Honeyman, Oregon’s famous anti-Prohibition congresswoman and the first
woman from Oregon elected to the U.S. Congress.
HARMON/ NEILS HOME
2642 NW Lovejoy St.
Owners: Allen Tooke and Marcia Truman
Architect: A.E. Doyle
Built: 1908
Albert Ernest “A.E.” Doyle started his architectural career after graduating from
eighth grade as an apprentice at the firm of Widden & Lewis. After 12 years, he
formed his firm with William B. Patterson, a residential architect. This home is
the most architecturally intact of Doyle’s residential designs. After Doyle’s successful and prolific career—37 of his buildings are on the
National Register of Historic Places—Pietro Belluschi and John Yeon succeeded
him as Portland’s architectural masters of their generation.
The first owners of the house, the Harmon family, moved in in 1909, just after
this section of Nob Hill, known as Fordham Heights, had been established as the
most prestigious district of Portland. Edward Lansing Harmon was an insurance
agent for the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. starting in 1892. In 1894, he was
posted in Portland, and he remained with the firm until his death in 1922. He
was a Mason, as were many of the other original homeowners of homes on this
tour. Mrs. Harmon, who died without heirs, left the bulk of the estate to Oregon
educational institutions.

BERNARD GOLDSMITH HOME
1507 NW 24th Ave.
Owners: Gretchen and Sean Keyes
Architect: Edgar Lazarus Style: Queen Anne Shingle Style
Built: 1892
The Bernard Goldsmith House was saved from the bulldozer by neighbors
pooling together resources, and is in the process of being restored. Goldsmith
extreme wealth enabled him to construct a grand house in 1891-92, years before
he moved in. Goldsmith arrived in New York from Bavaria when he was 16, and
two years later moved to San Francisco on the heels of gold fever. He had no
intention of heading out to the gold fields; his vision was to be a merchant.
Goldsmith became the most prosperous Jew in Oregon and the “eighth-wealthiest
Portland resident at the time he served as mayor” 1869-71. He was strongly
opposed to slavery and was a strong advocate for parks. City Park (Washington
Park) was purchased when he was mayor, and he supported expanding the Park
Blocks. He argued against construction of wooden buildings in the core of the
city. He was the first president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals in Oregon and was vice president of the Mercantile Library Association.
ISAAC VAN DUYN HOUSE
2358 NW Lovejoy St.
Owner: Paul Dittman
Style: Queen Anne Vernacular Built: 1895
As this 1907 photograph shows, Rose Van Duyn and her Queen Anne home were
the belles of the block at the beginning of the 20th century.
The peaceful and serene Nob Hill neighborhood of that era reflected the
prosperity of a young and promising Portland reenergized by the Lewis & Clark
Centennial Exposition of 1905. Only 50 years earlier, Isaac Van Duyn had been
an early Portland pioneer.
Eleven-foot ceilings, huge commercial size windows and a secret kitchen garden
make this lusciously painted lady a showstopper even today.
When the Oregon Citizens Alliance attempted to pass Ballot Measure 9 in
1992 to order state government to classify homosexuality akin to pedophilia,
perversion and sadism, the Brunches of Champions were born here. These were
free Sunday concerts in the airy living room for campaign volunteers, giving
them space to rest, relax, and listen to beautiful live music.
Oregon Symphony musicians, Chamber Orchestra members and renowned
vocalists gave more than 100 benefit concerts over a 14-year period. This
response germinated the seeds to today’s gay-rights group, Basic Rights Oregon.

VAN SCHUYLER/GEVURTZ HOUSE
2487 NW Lovejoy St.
Owner: Sharon Kelly
Style: Craftsman/Classic
Built: 1908
Old Nob Hill blossomed in the early 20th century as a fashionable middle class
residential enclave, attracting Portland’s successful merchants. Van Schuyler was
a wholesale liquor merchant. Louis Gevurtz, with his brother Harry, contributed
to the social betterment of Portland’s Jewish community while operating the
prominent Gevurtz Furniture Co. beginning in 1901.
Attesting to the prominence of the old Nob Hill neighborhood, residents of this
house had a front row seat at the Rose Parade. Note the lovely Rose Festival
ladies maneuvering the rose-covered Model T float rounding the corner at the
Van Schuyler/Gevurtz house.
This home is a great example of the Craftsman/Classic style—an open floor plan,
ample bays and windowed nooks providing extra light. Thick and generous use
of painted millwork contributes to a comfortable and substantial look.
LUTKE HOUSE
1405 NW 24th Ave.
Owner: Barbara Lockhart and Lee Swanstrom
Style: Arts and Crafts
Built: 1909
In 1883, Robert Lutke, founded Lutke Showcase Manufacturing Co., a firm
employing artisans and carpenters to build wooden cases for use in banks, offices
and bars. It’s obvious he brought the skills and exotic woods used in his company
to bear in outfitting his residence with the finest materials. The woodwork and
finishes throughout this Arts and Crafts masterpiece reflect a quality of material
and workmanship lost to the ages.
Like many of our old Nob Hill denizens, Mrs. Margaret Lutke contributed to the
city’s welfare and social enhancement, becoming Grand Matron, Order of the
Eastern Star..
Thank You Portland!

Pearl leaders say Portland
Streetcar took them for a ride
Everett Street stations closed before
neighborhood representatives could
review data
that stretch. But the trial was skewed
by introducing the signal-overriding
device during the trial period.
The streetcar shelters on Northwest Everett Street were dismantled. The Portland
Bureau of Transportation will consider other uses for the concrete platforms.
BY ALLAN CLASSEN
P
ortland Streetcar Inc.’s executive director told Pearl District neighbors last fall what it
might take to derail company plans
to eliminate a set of stations on
Northwest Everett Street.
“It will take some convincing,” Dan
Bower told the Pearl District Neighborhood Association, “[But] if people
hate it, I’ll stop talking about it.”
Residents living near the stops did
what they could to register disapproval.
After a trial closure of the stops
at Northwest 10th and 11th beginning in February, 57 Pearl residents
petitioned PSI’s board of directors to
“please restore these stops.”
The petition stated: “The addition of two blocks of walking might
not be burdensome to some, but for
many of us who are older, it is the
difference between being able to use
the streetcar and not being able to
do so.”
PSI received a total of 185 public comments about the closures on
Everett and three other stations in
Southwest Portland. One hundred
pertained to the Pearl stops. The
overwhelming majority (77 percent)
of the 185 were critical of the proposed change.
The responses apparently didn’t
achieve the level of disdain Bower
considered pivotal. On March 2, the
PSI board voted to make the closures
permanent.
“The trial closures have been a
success in that they are saving time
[about a minute northbound and
somewhat less southbound] and creating a safer operating environment,
which will ultimately lead to a more
reliable system,” Bower wrote in a
nine-page assessment of the program.
What about the people who objected?
“The public feedback to date has
not identified any particular issue
that PSI or city staff had not already
considered before implementing the
trial closure,” he wrote. “In large
part, the feedback was limited to
existing riders [who] are upset about
losing ‘their’ station, and concerns
about an aging population and those
patrons using mobility devices having to travel farther to access the
streetcar.”
Bower told the Examiner he was
open to adjusting for impacts on
“affected populations we hadn’t
thought of,” but little such evidence
turned up.
“We were left with the more emotional response of those who live
near the [Everett] station,” he said.
“It didn’t surprise the board that
those who lived by the station would
object.”
The Everett stops are also an Americans with Disabilities Act accessible
transfer point from the no. 77 bus
line. Of the 73 daily transfers to the
streetcar at Northwest 11th and Everett, Bower did not know how many
needed accessibility.
While Bower was satisfied that
the device resolved a problem and
confirmed the wisdom of closing
the Everett stops (on both north and
south directions on 10th and 11th),
Fahoodi said midstream adjustment
of the signal sequence added a variable, making it impossible to measure the isolated effect of closing
the stops. He also noted that Bower
understood that the association
expected to see the final data before
making its recommendation.
“We have more than 15 years of data,”
Bower said after reviewing Fahoodi’s
letter. “At some point we need to make
a decision and move on.”
Interestingly, Fahoodi also serves
on PSI’s Citizen Advisory Committee
and initially spoke in favor of closing the Everett stops. His objections
and those of the association were not
with the decision but the process.
Bruce Levy, a PDNA board member who lives a block from 11th and
Everett, is upset on both counts.
“The Portland Streetcar is the primary reason I relocated to the Pearl
neighborhood over a decade ago,” he
testified at a Feb. 17 hearing before
the PSI board. “I’m certain others
have made identical life choices
based on the same notion.” Levy said businesses have also
made investments based on proximity to the streetcar and should not
be “trifled with by some consultant
justifying a so-called fix to shave a
few seconds off a schedule.” n

“Also, there are at least seven other
ADA accessible connections from
the streetcar to No. no. 77 within one
mile … and the farthest any patron
would need to travel is 460 feet to
reach a transfer point from streetcar
to bus,” he said.
PDNA found PSI’s rush to a final
decision—it voted before PSI’s own
citizen advisory committee could
weigh in—unacceptable and sent
a letter to the city’s commissioner
of transportation, Steve Novick, in
April.
Portland Bureau of Transportation
was a partner in this project in that
it agreed to reconfigure the traffic
signals at Everett Street to favor the
streetcar, allowing it to extend the
green light.
“Our neighborhood was under the
impression that comparative data
before and after the closure would be
provided to the [PDNA Planning and
Transportation Committee] to assess
impacts on travel time, ridership and
on-time performance,” wrote committee co-chair Reza Fahoodi in a
letter to Novick.

Your business is no stronger than its neighborhood. Businesses thrive here because it’s
an attractive, diverse area where people want
to live, work and spend time. The same enterprise relocated to a place without these characteristics would likely not achieve the same
success.
The NW Examiner makes your neighborhood
better. Northwest Portland is more vibrant,
more interesting and more prosperous because it has a great local newspaper. People
who are connected to their community, its
history, its people and who take responsibility
for improving it are “the riches of the
neighborhood.”
An image can be created overnight. Building a reputation takes longer.

Candidates vie for
Northwest District
Association presidency
F
or the first time since the 1990s, the Northwest District Association will have a contested race for president. Ron Walters,
who held the post 2010-13, is opposed by Karen Karlsson, the
board’s current secretary.
Walters recently accused the association of losing touch with constituents on the proposed Slabtown Square at Northwest 21st and
Pettygrove. Walters did an informal poll of 77 neighbors and found
that 60 did not approve of the latest design, the product of compromises made by an NWDA committee with the developer over the
past two years.
Guardian Real Estate Services, which is developing the half-block
site, recently withdrew its pending design without revealing its next
step. Karlsson has criticized aspects of the design without faulting
NWDA’s handling of the process.
The NWDA election will be held Monday, June 20, 6 p.m.
The Examiner asked both candidates to submit 200-word statements on their reasons for running.

Ron Walters
As NWDA president from 2010 to
2013, I worked with the board, its
committees and the community to
negotiate several significant agreements with the city and Northwest
businesses, including:
Conway Master Plan—Guides
development in the Slabtown area,
enabling the New Seasons Market
and requiring a new public park and
neighborhood square.
Northwest Parking Plan—Introduced on-street parking regulation to
improve availability.
ESCO Good Neighbor Agreement—
Helps limit industrial air pollution.
If elected, I would seek to build on
these accomplishments by focusing
on the following priorities:
1. Facilitate development of our
public parks and neighborhood
square.
2. Manage parking policies to
increase parking supply and reduce

representation by emailing monthly
newsletters to NWDA members, regularly updating the NWDA website
and soliciting broader input through
town hall meetings and online surveys.

I have lived in Northwest for more
than 40 years and had my business
here since 2008. I currently serve on
the board.
I love the diversity and quirkiness
of Northwest, but what makes this
neighborhood great is the people.
Whether you are a renter, homeowner or business owner, you play
an important role in shaping this
neighborhood.
Some say that neighborhood associations are just a small group of
noisy activists who don’t speak for
the whole neighborhood. I think in
some ways that is true, but it is not
by intention.
As president, I want to hear from
you. I want to know what you care
about. We have committees working
on transportation, livability, planning, clean air and parks. Are they
working on your priorities? Or do
you care about other issues not covered by our existing committees?
My first act as president will be
to work with our board to create
an outreach and communications
plan. We need to see new faces, hear
new voices, form new opinions and
strengthen all our causes.

Le Vieux, the Mediterranean restaurant run by Bay Area natives Annette
Yang and Brian Leitner on Northwest Vaughn Street, is gone. Taking
its place is Fillmore Trattoria, the
Pacific Northwest offshoot of Jackson
Fillmore Trattoria, the San Francisco-based restaurant that has been
run and operated for more than 30
years by recent Portland transplant
Jack Krietzman. Krietzman calls his
approach Italian food simply done
with simple ingredients. That means
pasta dishes (gnocchi with pesto,
linguine with prawns in a spicy red
sauce and risotto with asparagus),
seafood (red snapper and baked
prawns), and a host of antipasti starters, from fried calamari and zucchini
carpaccio to baked artichokes and
Roman salads. It’s open 5:30-10 p.m.
Tuesday through Saturday.
The long-vacant Panda Express
building on West Burnside will soon
be home to the Northwest District’s
second Chipotle Mexican Grill outlet. In 2015, the Denver-based chain
was forced to close multiple locations in several states—including,
briefly, Oregon—after an E. coli outbreak, which was bookended in the
same year by another pair of E. Coli
outbreaks, a pair of novo virus outbreaks and one of salmonella. There
have been no outbreaks this year.

he Northwest District may
not be known for its banh mi
sandwiches—you’ll need to
go to the northeast and southeast for
the best varieties—but it certainly
has some worthy versions, in some
cases very worthy.
So the next time you’re in the mood
for meat, pickled vegetables and
French bread, test drive one (or
more) of these five neighborhood
sandwiches. But before you so, here
are some pro tips.
Pro tip no. 1: “Banh” is not pronounced “bahn,” as in autobahn.
When you order, ask for a “bun me.”
Pro tip no. 2: Just because you can
get a sandwich out east for less than
$4 does not mean that all banh mis
should be less than $4. If an $11
banh mi reflects the quality of the
ingredients used and the labor used
to make it, it’s definitely worth $11.

FISH SAUCE
This Vietnamese restaurant on the
corner of Northwest 17th Avenue
and Flanders has been open for a
few years now, and, thanks to its
sizable outdoor patio and the fairly
quiet street corner it occupies, it’s
wildly popular in the spring and
summer. Ben Bui’s Fish Sauce is

known for its phở, but its secret
weapon just might be its roster of
banh mis , which come in barbecue
beef, chicken, pork pate and sausage
and eggs flavors. The real standout
is the grilled lemongrass pork version. Often, a banh mi’s appeal is
the sum of its parts, from its spicy
mayo, cilantro, jalapeños, daikon
and—above all—the roll in which
it’s served. But in this case, the generously portioned pork, takes center
stage, and that’s a very good thing.
Prices range from $11 to $12.

PHỞ VAN FRESH
After a spirited but unsuccessful
effort to try to appeal to Pearl District residents with upscale Vietnamese cuisine, the owners of Silk
rebranded their business as Phở Van
Fresh, and updated their menu to
reflect a more casual approach to
their cuisine. If there’s one good
thing to come of it, it’s the fact that
you now have more access to more
banh mis—lots of them. Phở Van
offers seven different versions, from
its classic pate-xa-xiu pork- bellyVietnamese ham-and-head cheese
version to lemongrass chicken, fried
catfish and eggplant versions. Prices
range from $6.50 to $6.95.

LÊLA’S BISTRO
What do you do when you want a
banh mi, but you (or your dining
companion) are vegetarian? Climb
the steps of the Northwest 23rd Avenue Craftsman home that houses
Lêla’s and order either an egg, portobello or tofu sandwich. If you’re a
vegan, just ask them to hold the aioli.
But don’t worry carnivores, seven of
18
Lêla’s 10 banh mis are meaty affairs,
and most of them don’t rely on traditional Vietnamese flavors, either. So
when you’re feeling untraditional,
try the Vietnamese-Korean mashup
beef bulgogi, which comes topped
with spicy kimchi. And you can’t go
wrong with the bread: Owner Laura
Lé’s parents bake it themselves at
their Binh Minh bakery. Prices range
from $5 to $7.

croissants, opera cakes and fresh
coffee and loaves. But tucked into
its sandwich menu is its take on the
Vietnamese classic, a savory banh
mi complete with a five-spice thinly
sliced pork terrine, daikon, carrots,
spicy mayonnaise and sriracha all of
which is bundled together in one of
baker Ken Forkish’s incomparable
toasted baguette rolls. Each sandwich costs $7.50.

I
f you’re new to Portland (or are under the age
of 25), you might not know that the Portland
Farmers Market got its start in the Northwest
District.
In 1992, it held its first seasonal run near the
old Albers Mill along the Willamette River. It
operated there for four more years before permanently moving to the South Park Blocks at Portland State University in 1998.
Lu n c h
As the market grew—it’s now recognized as one
of the country’s best and most attended farmers
markets—it spun off satellite markets in other
neighborhoods. In 2003, it operated at Northwest
23rd and Savier before moving to the parking lot
at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in 2011.
To celebrate its first quarter century, market
organizers have invited chefs from across the city

Farmers Market, continued from page 19
Taste of 25 Seasons is a much
more formal affair, involving traveling to six restaurants—as well as
a farm—where culinary luminaries such as Jenn Louis (Lincoln,
Sunshine Tavern), Jason French
(Ned Ludd), and Sapp and Dolich
prepare tasting menus, luncheons
and thematic dinners. Tickets range
from $35 to $150 per person.
to perform on-site cooking demonstrations and to host a handful of
dinners at their own restaurants.
The market has even published a
cookbook written by dinner series
chefs, including David Sapp and
Scott Dolich (Park Kitchen, The
Bent Brick) and Cathy Whims (Oven
and Shaker, Hamlet, Nostrana) with
recipes featuring ingredients available at farmers markets.
While the Northwest Market
doesn’t bustle like PSU’s or host
swank thematic dinners, Merrick
said it still has a lot going on.
Portland Farmers Market Communications Manager Kelley Merrick
is particularly excited by both the
Chef in the Market cooking series
and the Taste of 25 Seasons dining
series.
“It’s a small, but very true farmers
market with produce, flowers and
live music,” she said. “It’s a festive
and happy market.”
Chef in the Market has been going
strong for a solid four years, but
this year it’s showcasing the vastly
diverse culinary skills of 20 chefs.
Northwest Market vendors will
have berries (K BERRY FARM, The
Berry Patch), vegetables (Lucky
Farms, Spring Hill Organic Farm,
Winslow Food Forest and Winters
Farms), hot sauce (Marshall’s Haute
Sauce) and ice cream (Scoop Handmade Ice Cream).
Think of Chef in the Market like
a much more laid back episode of
“Chopped.” The guest chefs scour
the market for ingredients. Once
they have what they need, they
return to their post and walk you
through the making of a dish one
ingredient and technique at a time.
Every third Thursday is Fruit
and Veggie Bingo, in which seniors
compete to win a complimentary
grab bag of healthy farmers market
goodies.
“I love the chef in the market
series—it’s a great way to inspire
shoppers,” Merrick said.
The Chef in the Market series
takes place at the PSU market location along the streetcar line.

Farmers Market

[Portland], I can’t think
of another property that
would come to mind in
such a highly developed,
dense neighborhood that
has that amount
of concerns”
— Mike Liefield,
manager of Extremely
Distressed Buildings
Enforcement Program
Old vehicles in various stages of disrepair fill the parking lot behind the Northrup Food Center. Unpaid fines for ongoing nuisance violations have mounted to about $150,000, according to buyers of the property.

The sale price is “probably half of
what the market is,” Hush said.
If the old grocery store is indeed
preserved, it’s Baldwin’s stamp on
the neighborhood, saving a funky,
outmoded structure to forestall construction of another midrise apartment
building.
Although Fussell insists he’s intent
on holding, improving and managing
the property, others have doubts.
Eyesore in land of plenty

Opened by Baldwin’s maternal
food center had seen better days. West Hills
families once had their housemaids
pick up custom cut meats here.
Baldwin’s parents, Ephus and Georgia Baldwin, kept it going until

2016the
2001. The Oregonian reported plans
for a 28-station hair salon, but nothing came of it. A 2010 Portland
Mercury story details the lot’s more
recent status as home for Baldwin’s
erstwhile recycling business.
The building is listed with the
city’s Extremely Distressed Building Enforcement Program, said
Mike Liefeld, who manages the program for the Bureau of Development
Services. City records show dozens
of nuisance complaints, court cases
and possible code violations dating
back to 1993.
Liefeld said city staffers have
played a long-term “cat and mouse”
game with homeless people suspected to be living in the junk-filled
lot. Inspectors’ notes cite trash and
debris, piles of hundreds of pallets,
“possible illegal occupation of commercial property,” “someone living
in vehicles,” vehicles with flat tires,
broken and boarded windows, peeling paint, holes in the siding.

When working poor
becomes working homeless
A few years ago, the idea of the
“working poor” gained traction
as a political counterweight to
stereotypes of the poor as lazy or
unemployable.
Vermillion said he pumps gas,
sells cigarettes and works as a
cashier at the station. His little
nook in the front of the store, he
said, is “primo.”
These days, particularly in
Portland and other cities where
housing is becoming increasingly
unaffordable, a starker phrase has
emerged: “the working homeless.”
In front of the old Northrup Food
Center, where Jerry Vermillion
usually sleeps, the nightly lullaby
is the clanging of the Portland
Streetcar.
Vermillion said he has been on
the street for two years, in the current spot since December. He lost
his apartment three blocks away
as rents went “up and up and up”
just as he split with his girlfriend.
Vermillion works at the Astro
Gas Station across the street. A
reporter’s mid-morning, late May
visit to the spot found Vermillion awake inside a sleeping bag
above a mattress pad on a slightly
inclined, concrete ramp. Behind
his head, a pillow, under an
ancient placard reading “Member–United Grocers, Inc.” Behind
the glass, cardboard, mattresses—
one window broken and replaced
with particle board. A cellphone’s
tiny, tinny speaker played alternative rock on 94.7FM inches from a
couple of empty, 16-ounce cans of
fruit-flavored Four Loko.
Over his long-sleeve T-shirt, his
striped Astro uniform shirt.
Vermillion said he isn’t concerned about possible repercussions for reporting his homeless
status and naming his employer.
Jeff Baldwin, who until recently
owned the grocery store property,
“let me stay here to keep the riff
raff out,” Vermillion said, echoing the words of another homeless
man in the lot. “I’m one of the
more normal ones,” Vermillion
said, a wry grin playing across his
wind-beaten, kindly face.
Jerry Vermillion sleeps in front of the derelict market at night, then crosses the
street to pump gas during the day.

ing to play by the rules, and working, and still not able to make it,”
Bernal said. “The cost of living,
the cost of rents, are astronomical these days. ... We still have a
shelter crisis, an immediate shelter crisis. The wait to get into our
shelter is seven months. That’s
sort of jaw dropping.”
Tony Bernal, director of funding and public policy at local
nonprofit Transition Projects, said
he’s not aware of solid statistics
on the working homeless, but he
agreed it exists and he guesses it’s
growing in Portland.
Bernal said single, able-bodied
males like Vermillion represent
the largest single demographic in
the local homeless population,
since they are often ineligible for
benefits or programs designed for
parents with children or Social
Security disability payment recipients.
“There are people who are doing
everything they possibly can try-
Recently approved new funds
for affordable housing and new
shelter space could help individuals like the two living on the
grocery property, but it’s a cruel
numbers game: The most recent
citywide count of homeless found
1,887 unsheltered individuals and
3,801 total homeless—and that
was more than a year ago.
“In Portland, we can only shelter about 50 percent of people who
are experiencing homelessness,”
Bernal said. “The national average
is about 70 percent.”
Vermillion’s favorite shelter
from the urban storm could soon
go away.
“If they do that, I have a new
place to find,” he wrote in a text
message.

Vermillion calls the alcove his favorite sleeping spot, though he’s not the type to fight off
other homeless for it after his shift at the Astro
Gas Station across the street.
A reporter’s trip to Baldwin’s home in the
Cully neighborhood of Northeast Portland—
which itself has collected nearly as many complaints as the Northwest store, as well as citymandated contractor abatements—found the
house in extreme disrepair. With its front door
enshrouded by tarps reachable by a broken
wheelchair ramp, even knocking or ringing the
doorbell seemed dicey. Calls of “Hello?” and
“Jeff?” brought a head poking out a second-story
window.
Though he’s a bit hard to track down with no
phone or front door, in conversation, Baldwin
can be genial enough. He bristles at the press
and talk of city codes.
His rumpled appearance belies his status as
one of the city’s most recent millionaires. His
crinkled blue eyes blaze with a fierce confidence, perhaps defiance. He speaks his mind,
and can make a good case for himself. Relationships are what he values, he’ll tell you. He takes
care of his friends and has a soft spot for the less
fortunate. Other than that, he’s not interested in
what others think.
On the record, Baldwin, the sole beneficiary
of a trust for the property arranged by his parents in 1996, declined comment: “I have nothing more to say at this time. Privacy is what I
respect.”
Off the record, Baldwin stood with his sweet,
aging yellow Lab and chatted amiably with a
reporter for half an hour. Across the dashboard
of his old Dodge pickup, parked across his front
lawn next to other vehicles that have seen better
days, was a well-loved copy of the “Alien Invasion Survival Handbook.”

off into five different sections,” Fussell said. “Redoing the rooftop and
doing a deck.”
property with deed restriction was
appraised at $1.25 million or $1.3
million.
One possibility involves a marijuana dispensary and four other
small retailers. He may put food
carts in the back lot.
The city is continuing to assess
fines of $2,200 a month for nuisance violations during the 120-day
promissory period before the deed
transfers.
“We’re exploring all options,” Fussell said.
Except one, a proposal for a strip
club. “We’re definitely not going that
route,” he said, laughing.
Does deed trump?
In the 1970s, an advertising campaign
touted 7UP as the uncola. The message has never been updated on the
back wall of Northrup Food Center.

A trust, a UFO fest
Fussell said the sale, for which
he and contractor Hauser formed
Northrup Brothers, LLC, is his first
venture into commercial real estate
after two decades of residential projects. Fussell said his grooming of the
seller was a year in the making, culminating in a trip to the UFO festival
in McMinnville a couple of weeks
after signing the deal.
“It’s a really hard process for
[Baldwin] to let [the building] go,”
Fussell said. “I wanted to really cater
to his needs. I catered to everything
he wanted, and it was a year process.
I’m thankful he did. He had countless offers.”

Can deed restrictions, which in
this case call for the buyer and successors to “not tear down or remove
a major portion of the existing building on the above property within 10
years” be circumvented?
A Portland attorney specializing
in real estate law said deed restrictions such as this can be hard to protect, with no government agencies
specifically charged with enforcing
the provisions if a title company
doesn’t.
“At the end of the day, the original owner … everything’s going to
come down to him,” said attorney
Kevin Elliott Parks, speaking of deed
restrictions generally. Ensuring the
buyers keep their word “requires
[a seller’s] continued vigilance,”
Parks said. He added that when such
restrictions are ignored, even when
aggrieved parties decide to litigate
the matter, “nine times out of 10”
the resolution will involve a purely
financial settlement.
Fussell said any talk that he and
Hauser might flip the property and
ignore the deed restriction is just
sour grapes from competitors who
lost out.
“There are no plans at all to flip
the building,” Fussell said. “Anybody that would say that would be
clearly in a magical ball.”
Was Baldwin adequately represented in making the deal? Were
professionals advocating for his
interests?
Fussell said Baldwin had an attorney present during the sale, but
declined to share a name. Fussell
said he and Hauser had no pre-existing relationship with that attorney.
Alysa K. Long, who notarized the
deed, did not return phone calls.
“I thought [$1.1 million] was a
very fair price.” Fussell said, adding that he and Hauser are assuming
liens and fines on the property totaling $150,000, bringing the true cost
to $1.25 million. Fussell said the
Hauser, whose state Construction
Contractors Board license has been
active since 1995 and shows one
suspension for not providing liability insurance, did not return a phone
call.
Fussell, meanwhile, has nothing
but praise for the seller.
“Jeff is donating; he’s doing something extremely good for the community with [this sale],” he said.
“He’s one of the most remarkable
guys, just has incredible integrity ...
Jeff’s 10 times smarter than probably
you or I.”
Neighbors watching
The deed restriction to preserve
the existing building resonates with
those weary of the wave of demolitions and new developments transforming the city.
“It’s been a conversation topic
here,” said Rand Klemp, owner
of nearby Anna Bannanas Cafe on
Northwest 21st, speaking of the
Northrup Food Center property’s
future.
“We’re enthused that something
is going to happen here. That’s
great news. But will it retain the
neighborhood’s character? ... [Or]
are we going to be sandwiched in
by McUsed,” Klemp joked, a play
on the phrase “mixed use.”
“Preserving the building’s footprint with its corner entrance
through deed restrictions is a great
preservation move,” wrote Joseph
Lyons, president of the Nob Hill
Business Association and a local
realtor, in an email. Lyons is thrilled
about the likely improvements to
the property and future business
and employment opportunities the
development will bring.
Inn at Northrup Station Operations Manager Andrew Brown
would like to see the kind of mixeduse development—with an affordable restaurant on the ground floor
and apartments above—that Klemp
is wary of. The notion of dividing
the building into small storefronts
seems less realistic to Brown. n

Plans revised to save Firehouse No. 3, effort to save old Besaw’s ends
1405 NW Glisan St.
Old Fire Station No. 3 at Northwest 14th and Glisan streets will be saved after all.
Sam Rodriguez, senior managing director for Mill Creek Residential Trust in Portland, told the Examiner: “Mill Creek is always sensitive to the neighborhood’s concerns and tries very hard to work with
them when planning a new development.”
SERA Architects has submitted a simple line drawing of a 16-story, 280-unit mixed-used building to
the east of the 1913 firehouse, currently home to Touché Restaurant & Bar.
A five-story building with roof-top patios is to fill the rest of the block, now
occupied by the Premier Press building. Plans submitted in April showed a
12-story building with 150 units on the south half of the block.
“The firehouse, while not a historic building since it has been heavily modified
over the years, has some iconic value,” Rodriguez said. “In order to save it,
we will have to undertake a very expensive seismic retrofit.”
The original half-block site was too small to efficiently achieve the developer’s
off-street parking goal of a .75 stall per unit, he said.
A zoning code adjustment will be needed to exceed 14 stories. Rodriguez
hopes saving the firehouse will help persuade the Portland Design Commission to grant the request.

2301 NW Savier St.
For five years, C.E. John Co. claimed it intended to save the
1892 Besaw’s Café building at 2301 NW Savier St. while redeveloping parcels surrounding it. Last month, reality hit.
Richard Gobrot of GBD Architects told Northwest District Association Planning Committee members that the arrangement didn’t
“pencil out” and the old building, along with a major tree by the
sidewalk, would have to go.
The latest plan includes 51 apartment units and ground floor
retail on both Savier and 23rd. Initial plans had 36 units and a
courtyard surrounding the old restaurant.
The committee did not take a vote on the project at this preliminary stage, but committee member Bill Welch expressed a common thread: “We do not like what’s going on here.”
1526 NW 19th Ave.
An 1880 house at 1526 NW 19th Ave. will be
been demolished, along with Quimby’s at 19th
bar, in preparation for an 88-unit, six-story
apartment building. The O’Brien House was
described in the city’s 1984 Historic Resource
Inventory as “designed with elements of the
Queen Anne style” and “a good example of a
small working class cottage.” The single-family
home was exempt from a 35-day demolition
delay ordinance because it is not in a residential zone.
1015 NW 16th Ave.
The former Slabtown bar at 1015 NW 16th Ave. was razed last month to make space
for a six-story, 125-unit studio apartment building with ground-floor commercial space.
A two-story house south of the bar was also leveled. Koz Development specializes in
microapartments without off-street parking. Another Koz project at 2161-67 SW Yamhill
St. was approved by the Historic Landmarks Commission last month. The company has
another project in the works by Portland State University and two in Seattle.

National Night Out Details
NNO Date: Tuesday, August 2nd
Registration: portlandoregon.gov/oni/nno
Registration Dates: June 7th - July 19th
A National Night Out party host advises,
“Get to know your neighbors. Community
doesn’t just happen, it takes everyone to
make it.” The first National Night Out
(NNO) event, organized decades ago, had
a simple premise. Neighbors would sit
on their porches and turn on their porch
lights because crime was less likely to
happen on a street where neighbors were
out, connected and observant. NNO has
become an annual event celebrated across
the country on the first Tuesday in August.
On this day, neighbors host and attend
small block parties or large neighborhood
events to strengthen their relationships
with one another in the spirit of creating
safer neighborhoods.
Emergency Preparedness
in Your Neighborhood!
Emergency Preparedness (E-prep) is a big topic of interest these days and neighbors
in many areas are working together to create awareness, build community capacity,
and make plans. All of these steps have shown to increase resilience after a major
disaster. Below are some of the teams already in place if you are looking to get
involved, or for assistance starting your own group, contact Anastasia at NWNW,
[email protected] or 503.823.4288. Check out our website for additional resources,

Neighborhood cohesion helps deter
crime. “Criminals want to be anonymous,
to go unnoticed,” says Stephanie Reynolds, Crime Prevention Program Manager.
“When neighbors know and look out for
one another, pay attention to what is happening on their street and report crime,
it goes a long way towards creating a safe
neighborhood.” Connected neighbors are
by Dina
Avilato be invested in what
also Photo
more
likely
happens in their neighborhood and work
together to solve problems and make the
neighborhood a better place. That connection also lays the foundation for cooperation that is vital in the event of a major
disaster where emergency services may be
unavailable for days and weeks.
Register your party with the City at portlandoregon.gov/oni/nno beginning Tuesday, June 7th, to request police or fire
fighters to attend your event, get a noise
variance or street closures, party ideas and
more. There are no guarantees that police
and fire will be able to attend all registered
parties despite their best efforts to do so.
Portland Neighborhood Emergency Teams
In the event of a citywide or regional emergency such as a severe winter storm, flood or
major earthquake, households need to be prepared to be on their own for at least a week.
Neighborhoods need to be prepared for self-sufficiency, too. Volunteer neighborhood
rescuers will likely be first on-the-scene when firefighters and police are slowed by
impassable streets or overwhelmed by calls for help.
Neighborhood Emergency Teams (NETs) are Portland residents trained by PBEM
and Portland Fire & Rescue to provide emergency disaster assistance within their
neighborhoods. NET members are trained to save lives and property until professional
responders can arrive. These volunteers are specially trained to help others without putting
themselves in harm’s way. NET members are:
•
Prepared to be self-sufficient for two weeks during any emergency.
•
Able to provide emergency assistance to their family and immediate neighbors.
•
Able to work within an emergency response team to save lives and property.
•
Able to guide untrained volunteers who want to help others during a disaster.

OPB produced an Oregon
Experience documentary on
the life of Gary Cole, also
known as Portland’s iconic
drag queen, Darcelle XV.
At age 85, Darcelle is the
nation’s oldest-performing
female impersonator and
operates what is thought
to be the country’s longestrunning drag revue at 208
NW Third Ave. The halfhour program “Darcelle
XV” airs June 20 at 9 p.m.
and is available online at
opb.org/darcelle.
Work on the Washington Park Reservoir Improvements Project is underway. Reservoir 3 will be replaced by an underground tank and reflecting pool. The lower reservoir will become a wildlife habitat area and bioswale with a reflecting pool. For

Pearl Rotary honored Lincoln
High School senior Analis Martin
as May’s student of the month.
She was on Lincoln’s national
champion Constitution Team.
“It's quite intimidating,” said
Martin, “answering to lawyers,
federal judges." She will attend
Chapman University in Southern
California to study film production.
Ron Rich, owner of Oblation Papers and Press on
Northwest 12th Avenue, photographed this man
and woman holding a $400 Italian photo album
missing from his store. “I just happened to run
into them in the park on my way to the bank,
took a photo and then went back to the shop to
substantiate that it was missing,” said Rich.
C.E. John Co. plans to demolish the Besaw’s Café
building at 2301 NW Savier St. to build a 51-unit
apartment building. An individual noted his
disapproval of gentrification on a public notice
posted last month.
The family of Olivia Spencer, a former Chapman Elementary School student
who died last year at age 11, dedicated a bench and bronzed stroller sculpture
in front of the school. Her father, John Spencer, created the sculpture.
