NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER
Serving the only neighborhood on the slopes of an extinct volcano
Volume 8, Issue 1
Fall 2005
Neighbors ask. . . .
By Diane Redd, MTNA president
he webmaster and MTNA board
members have recently received
the following questions from Mt.
Tabor residents:
My neighbor insists that I trim a
tree on my property that hangs over
his yard. What is my responsibility?
Jane Ames at Commissioner Adams’s
office reports, “Although it is courteous
to regularly trim your trees (especially
when asked), you are not required to
do so. Your neighbor may trim any
tree that hangs into his property, but
only on his property. You may find
that if your neighbor trims the tree,
he may trim too much, endangering
the health of the tree or making the
tree look lopsided.”
The city picks up street leaves in
neighborhoods including Mt. Tabor,
but it has never picked up leaves
in front of my house. Why not?
The city does sweep up leaves in
certain neighborhoods. Here in
Mt. Tabor, it only picks up leaves
between 50th and 60th and Division
and Belmont. Historical precedent
determines the neighborhoods
chosen for this service.
Is it true that Trader Joe’s is
moving into the space vacated by
Mt. Tabor Video?
Trader Joe’s says the Montavilla space
is too small, but it is always checking
out new locations. They value hearing
from shoppers who want their stores
to move into certain neighborhoods,
so write them if you want a location
close by.
James Stephens began a ferry service around 1845 to transport east side pioneers across the Willamette
River. At first it was simply a rowboat. In 1855 James Stephens paid Multnomah County $10 for a license
to operate his ferry service. The Stark Street Ferry (pictured above) was successor to the Jefferson Street
Ferry, which was located just south of today’s Hawthorne Bridge. In 1861 Stephens sold the franchise for
the Stark Street Ferry to A. J. Knott for $18,000. Photo courtesy of Jan Caplener.
Is it true that the Warner Pacific
College is purchasing the Western
Seminary property?
No, the president of Warner Pacific
College says that there are no plans
to purchase or merge with Western
Seminary, although they work
cooperatively.
What can a person do when a
neighbor has a dog pen that is
not cleaned and smells terrible?
Gordon Johnston from Commissioner
Adams’s office says, “First talk with
the neighbor and share your concerns.
Ask politely that the pen be cleaned
to minimize the smell that comes
into your yard. If there is no improvement, the Office of Neighborhood
Involvement has a person responsible
for neighborhood inspection and
enforcement, at 503/823-7306.
When you call, make sure you
provide the address of the offending
property. Formerly Multnomah
County provided a similar service,
but it is no longer budgeted.”

57th & Division project:
a community asset in the making
By Paul Leistner
You still have time to contribute to the effort to acquire the former Drive
Thru Deli property at 57th & Division for the community. New Seasons,
Pearl Bakery, and Mt. Tabor Realty and more than 70 people contributed over
$24,000—toward the $45,000 goal—in only five weeks. Please help us raise
the money we need to make this great community project a reality!
The federal government seized the property in 2003 in a drug case. A federal
program allows the government to transfer seized property in certain cases to
community groups for community purposes. The U.S. Attorney for Oregon,
U.S. Marshal for Oregon, and Multnomah County Sheriff Bernie Guisto have
agreed to transfer the property to Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Program Inc.
(SEUL). SEUL will hold the property on behalf of the Tabor and South Tabor
Neighborhoods, and the Atkinson Elementary School PTA. The property will
be developed as a neighborhood and school community center—the Atkinson–
Tabor Community Commons.
The U.S. Department of Justice is reviewing the Memorandum of
Understanding and the community proposal. Earl Blumenauer and Gordon
Smith wrote letters of support for the project. Final approval is expected some
time after the end of October. We need to be ready to write a check to cover
the federal government’s expenses and insurance costs at the time of the transfer. Please help us meet our $45,000 goal. Make your check out to SEUL—
57th and Division Project. Send your check to SEUL, 3534 SE Main St.,
Portland, OR 97214.

Discriminatory deeds
By Justin Leonard
Several Mt. Tabor homeowners
have expressed concern over racially discriminatory language found in their title report.
For example, one neighbor was shocked to find that her
deed prohibited use or occupancy by “Chinese, Japanese,
or Negroes excepting as servants or employees.” Another
common example restricts use by “any Hebrew or by any
person of the Ethiopian (black), Malay (Filipino) or any
Asiatic Race (Asian) . . . excepting only employees in the
domestic service.”
Such language is an unfortunate, but not uncommon,
remnant of a bygone era. Restrictive covenants generally
are created by deed and may “run with the land,” binding
all subsequent purchasers. Such racially restrictive covenants were widely used throughout the United States
during the early 20th century to exclude Asians, blacks,
and Jews. They became most prevalent in the 1920s after
the United States Supreme Court validated them. In fact,
the Federal Housing Administration crafted a model
restrictive covenant for developers, and some lending
institutions required them for loans.
Fortunately, racially restrictive covenants are no longer
enforceable in light of Supreme Court decisions—most
notably Shelley v. Kramer—and the Fair Housing Act of
1968. But that doesn’t mean these vestiges have disappeared. Mt. Tabor real estate may contain such language,
even if the current resident has never seen it. Some title
companies redact discriminatory provisions from the title
report presented to the homeowner. Some mark them
unenforceable. Others leave them in.
Racially restrictive covenants are a part of our nation’s
history. They explain why minorities generally settled in
the least desirable neighborhoods. Unenforceable and
generally ignored, such language may still be considered
offensive.
For homeowners who wish to excise such language,
the Oregon legislature enacted a procedure in 1991 that
allows homeowners to remove provisions that restrict the
use of real property by “reason of color, race, religion,
national origin or physical or mental handicap.” To remove
such a provision, a Mt. Tabor resident would file a petition
with the Multnomah County Circuit Court and give
notice to all owners of record, such as lienholders. The
court would then enter a judgment removing the discriminatory provision from the title to the property. Interested
residents should review ORS 93.272 and speak with an
attorney for more information.
A tree for your yard
or parking strip? Plan ahead!
By Matt Walker
Although trees are vanishing from
the world’s forests, the urban canopy
in Portland has increased in the last
three decades. Part of the reason
is Friends of Trees, a nonprofit
organization committed to one thing
only—restoring the area’s urban
forest. Friends of Trees will be
adding leaves and branches to your
Mt. Tabor neighborhood through a
neighborhood tree planting event
on March 11.
In addition to being beautiful, trees keep your house
cooler in the summer, increase property values (by as
much as 20 percent), and remove pollutants from the air.
For about $75, you can buy a tree and have it planted
by a carefully supervised crew of trained tree planters.
During the summer a monitor will track your new tree’s
condition. The result is a 95 percent survival rate.
Sign up today—the December 7 deadline is approaching fast! You may sign up by mail, email, or fax. To learn
more about planting and tree selection options, visit the
Friends of Trees website at www.friendsoftrees.org.

Chronic nuisance complaint filed
Congratulations to Andrew Larson, Dylan Nunley, and
Nicholas Nunley! All three earned the designation of
AP scholar by the College Board in recognition of their
exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced
Placement (AP) Exams. Kudos as well to Ilantha
Ingerson and Jonathan Sanford, who have been named
Commended Students in the 2006 National Merit

School at 5800 SE Ash, or call 503/916-2915. Please let
us know if you have any ideas for additional classes or
would like to be an instructor. We look forward to
meeting you!
Thanks to the active participation of neighbors, officers
who serve our area, and the Deputy DA, a chronic nuisance
complaint has been filed on the property at 643 SE 74th.
Actively supported by the Police Bureau and Mayor Potter,
this complaint may result in a solution to a long-term
problem. Over the past four years officers have served
three warrants at this property and each time have found
drug lab and paraphernalia. The most recent warrant
resulted in the majority of those living at this address
being arrested on a number of drug and property crimes.
The chronic nuisance ordinance can result in closing a
property to habitation—a good motivation for the property’s
owner-occupant to clean up this ongoing hazard in our
community. You may direct comments to the city attorney’s
office, and find more information on the ordinance at the
Police Bureau and ONI websites (search chronic nuisance)
or by speaking with Southeast Precinct’s Neighborhood
Response Team officers.

Photo cards on sale to

Gardening on a volcano
By Cascade Anderson Geller
We are approaching the season of possible snow and
ice storms. We don’t have them often, but it doesn’t take
much to cause damage. I thought I would repeat my
warnings before the fact this time instead of after.
If we have heavy wet snow, it is okay to carefully
knock the snow off tree and shrub branches. If you bash
the plants it could cause bruising or breakage, which
could lead to die-off or weakness in the summer. But if
we have an ice storm, do not bash or even wiggle any
branches. They will be brittle all the way through. If you
attempt any protection at all, restrict it to propping up a
severely bent branch. Even then, don’t try to raise it up:
just put your prop in place to prevent more bending.
Follow this by praying for no wind. It’s the movement
of brittle parts that causes the breakage.
Meanwhile, watch your catalogs for new and improved
dwarf plants for your garden, especially conifers. The blue
Medora Juniper, 10’ high by 2-3’ wide, is a great accent,
even for small gardens. Columnars in all colors are great
for skinny spaces and make great winter accents.
In answer to a reader, yes, it is okay to top a row of
arbor vitae so they are all the same height. Just remember,
they will respond with greater width but will also regrow at
the top. Questions? eggie@ teleport.com, 503/254-1814.
Mt. Tabor Park, with its
grand views of the reservoirs,
helps to make our neighborhood one of the best places
in the city to live and work.
The success of getting the
Mt. Tabor Park reservoirs and
the entire park listed in the National Register of Historic
Places was a monumental community effort spearheaded by
the Friends of the Reservoirs and the Mt. Tabor Neighborhood Association. Now these special places deserve
attractive bronze plaques that will help to tell their story
and remind everyone of their historical significance.
To aid in the financing of these plaques, Mt. Tabor
artist Dee Packard has donated cards with lovely photographic images of the reservoirs that would make unique
holiday or greeting cards. The cards sell for $3 each, or
5 for $13, with all proceeds going toward the plaque
fund. We invite other groups, businesses, and individuals
to contribute to fundraising for the plaques in their own
ways. Slide show presentations of historic and natural
history features of Mt. Tabor Park and the reservoirs are
available for interested groups. The presentation is free,
but donations can be taken for the plaque fund. For more
information, and to purchase cards, please call Dee Packard
at 503/262-7746.

Neighbors weigh in
on the Glencoe rain garden
By Rhetta Drennan
This summer a group met to talk about challenges
facing the Glencoe rain garden, including mosquitoes,
maintenance, and security. Participants included Chris
Wirth and Chris Trapp from Vector Control, Suzy Hancock
and Steve Meffer of Portland Nursery, Nancy Bond of the
Portland School District, and Henry Stevens and Rhetta
Drennan of Environmental Services (BES).
We learned a lot from each other. When Chris Trapp
visited both the school site and nursery he found no
untreated standing water, and the number of mosquitoes
trapped had increased from 10-12 in 2004, to 17 this
year—still well below other areas of the city. Suzy Hancock
clarified the location of the property line and will start
to address brush clearing in the area between the fences.
Henry Stevens is working with the city contractor to
develop a better schedule for maintenance of the rain
garden, parking lot, and outdoor classroom.
At a community meeting in August, Stevens spoke on
what BES has learned from this demonstration project:
flow tests, drainage time, and adjustments made since
installation. The Vector Control employees talked about
where and what they have tested. It was a good discussion,
and neighbors asked many thoughtful questions. Actions
that resulted from the meeting included site inspections
and neighborhood training from Vector Control, inspection
of the vacant house at 5225 SE Morrison, and help from
BES with plant and garden maintenance.
Neighbors’ suggestions included avoiding building
paths against residential property, removing the path
around the rain garden, building a new path that skirts
the garden to go around the security chain on the side
of the school, improving the security of the gate blocking
the unused alley, and not using willows in the bioswale.
All the neighbors said they support the project and
that the most significant result of this project is that it
has eliminated basement flooding. They also remarked on
the success of modifications that Environmental Services
made to the Morrison intake to reduce clogging.

Warner Pacific
serves the community
Off leash
celebration event
By Paul Leistner
By Dennis Bridges
One day in September, a multitude
of hardworking young people swept
out of Warner Pacific College, at 68th
& Division. They spread into the community and did good works. The 260
students, professors, and staff members
worked at six different sites, including
Mt. Tabor Park, Abernathy School,
Holladay Center, Raphael House, and
Atkinson Elementary.
One hundred students pulled blackberries, cleared brush, and laid landWarner Pacific students and staff remove
scape cloth to stabilize steep slopes in
unwanted blackberry bushes in Mt. Tabor Park
the off leash area along the southern
border of Mt. Tabor Park. The improvement was dramatic. Seventy students
descended on Atkinson Elementary and helped clear the grounds. Still full of
energy, 30 students then crossed the street to the former Drive Thru Deli site at
57th & Division. They swept, weeded, hauled away debris, and put down bark
in the parking strip and planter beds. It’s amazing how much better the site looks.
Warner Pacific’s new community outreach coordinator, Bud Bylsma, says the
college is very interested in being more engaged in the community. He has met
with representatives of both Atkinson and Bridger Elementary Schools. He is
exploring opportunities for Warner Pacific students to go to the schools and read
to young students, free up teacher planning time by filling in as playground
and lunchroom monitors, and take part in other support activities.
It’s wonderful what a big effect Warner Pacific had in just one day with this
large group. Warner Pacific’s students could become a major source of community support in the future. For more information about Warner Pacific College’s
community outreach efforts, call Bud Bylsma at 503/221-6604. For information
on upcoming events at Warner Pacific, visit www.warnerpacific.edu.
Seventy-five
dogs brought
their owners to
the Mt. Tabor
off leash area in September to celebrate its progress. The Portland parks
bureau has installed new perimeter
fences with gates to help contain
loose owners at both ends of the area
while new, clearer signs have been
posted around Mt. Tabor and within
the area to educate users. New pathways on the west side completed the
physical changes to the area.
The celebration featured a clean-up
by Warner Pacific College students,
giveaways donated by local merchants
including Portland Pet Supply,
Pawsitively Clean Self-Serve Pet Wash,
and the Mt. Scott Animal Clinic, and
nursery tours. But the off leash area
is far from complete. Benches and
drinking water for the dogs will be
installed on its west side. New steps
will be terraced into its center from
the road, and holders for fliers will
be installed on the back of the
area’s signs.
Looking even further down the
road, there will be an increasingly
active stewardship group, monthly
clean-ups of the area, and continued
efforts to remove invasive species
and to plant native plants. A community evaluation of the of leash area
and its effects on the neighborhood
and the park will lead to revisions
of the program if needed.
If you are interested in being
notified about the stewardship group’s
activities, call or email membership
coordinator Teresa Miller at 503/2394869, farmrage1@ msn.com. She and
Steve Maremont, Chris Otto, Nancy
Norby, and Dennis Bridges are
organizing this group.
News from Friends of Mt. Tabor Park
By Dave Hillman
It has been a fun, festive, and productive few months, with more to come.
Mayor Potter and Commissioners Saltzman and Leonard joined us for our 4th
annual family potluck picnic in the park in late August. Come join us next year.
In late September, we teamed up with 95 students, faculty, and staff from
Warner Pacific College to remove many truckloads of invasive weeds and trash
from the south side of the park. In late October we teamed up with several
employees from the water bureau to replant the area along the fence line on
the dam between reservoirs 5 and 6.
Doug Brenner, former community centers director, has been named east
side zone manager for the parks bureau. The new tractor has finally arrived in
the park, which will be a huge help in maintaining the trails, especially during
the winter and rainy season.
In December, the Friends of Mt. Tabor Park will celebrate its fifth anniversary.
During these years we contributed about 9,500 volunteer hours to the park, and
conducted about 1,350 foot patrols. Our foot patrol has gained four more new
members, bringing our active roster to about 35. How about joining us? If you
have questions or suggestions, please call Dave Hillman at 503/254-5931.
