■ Negative
fliers from
Smith’s
supporters
present him
with latest
challenge
By JENNIFER ANDERSON
The Tribune
Jefferson Smith, the mayoral
candidate who pledged against
negative campaigning, is now, for
the second time in the race, dealing with rogue supporters who distributed negative campaign literature on his behalf.
Monday night, before a debate at
Portland State University — the first
live televised forum of the fall race —
two women handed out fliers to attendees titled: “Mark Wiener, The real
power in City Hall.”
Wiener is a longtime political consultant who helped elect Mayor Sam Adams and Commissioners Randy Leonard and Dan Saltzman to office.
He now leads the media consulting
part of Hales’ campaign, including TV
SMITH and mailers. Three other consultants
are paid as well, including longtime
strategist Liz Kaufman. The campaign
has so far paid Wiener’s firm, Winning
HALES
Mark, $34,450 for his services.
But at least two of Smith’s supporters find that troubling.
The flier distributed Monday night
crowns Wiener the “King of City Hall.”
It depicts Leonard, Saltzman, city commissioner candidate Mary Nolan and
Hales as points on Wiener’s crown,
with question marks over the latter two
candidates’ heads since they haven’t
been elected yet.

Local companies in

SolarWorld is hitting back
at critics who say the company is threatening the entire
solar power industry by filing unjustified trade complaints against China.
“Many of our critics placed
their bets on illegally dumped
Chinese products and now they
are afraid of paying the price,”
says Ben Santarris, head of corporate communications and
sustainability for SolarWorld
America, which operates a
large manufacturing plant in
Hillsboro.
One of the most vocal critics

Lapidus spoke to reporters
the day after last Wednesday’s
final International Trade Commission hearing on SolarWorld’s complaint that China is
trying to monopolize the solar
industry in violation of international trade agreements. This
week, the U.S. Commerce Department is expected to finalize
its preliminary duties and tariffs against the Chinese products. The ITC is expected to
enact them next month.
At the hearing, SolarWorld
officials said they could be
forced to lay off Hillsboro workers unless something is done to
stem the flow of the subsidized
Chinese products into the U.S.
They were joined by other manufacturers who said China was
intentionally driving them out
of business.

Activists sick of working while sick
Coalition to bring
ordinance before
Portland council
By STEVE LAW
The Tribune
Christine Stancliff, a longtime janitor at Portland International Airport, called in
sick last January when she
thought she had a stomach
flu, but her boss made her
come to work anyway.
Stancliff wound up working
four days while unable to hold
down food — until a supervisor
sent her home after she vomited
in the employee break room garbage can.
Stancliff went to Kaiser,
where she was diagnosed with
kidney damage. Her subsequent
stay in the hospital cost her two
days’ pay, Stancliff says, “so I
had to cut down on my groceries
and my insulin.”
After 11 years’ work for an
airport contractor, Stancliff
doesn’t get paid sick days. And
she’s not the exception.
More than 40 percent of private sector employees in the
Portland area lack paid sick
days, says Andrea Paluso, executive director of Family Forward
Oregon. The advocacy group,
launched a few years ago by
Paluso and other activist Portland moms, is spearheading a
campaign for a city ordinance
requiring every Portland employer to provide paid sick leave
for their workers. It’s modeled
after one passed by San Francisco voters in 2006, and similar
to ones passed by Seattle and
other cities.
Portlanders shouldn’t have to
choose between going to work
sick or getting fired, Paluso
says, or sending sick children to
school because they can’t afford
the lost pay. “If people don’t
have time off to go to the doctor,
they don’t have access to health
care in the traditional sense,”
she says.
Family Forward Oregon and
allies in the labor movement
have been building a case for the
ordinance for several months,
knocking on thousands of doors
to collect letters of support and
personal stories like Stancliff’s.
They expect to bring a proposal
soon to the City Council, Paluso
says, and hope to get it passed
this year, before a new council
takes office.
City Commissioner Amanda
Fritz has been leading the
charge at City Hall, convening a
group of labor, business and
community leaders to help fashion a proposed ordinance.
“As a nurse, obviously I want
people to stay home when
they’re sick,” Fritz says. Then
they’ll get better sooner, she

Gangs: Code of silence hinders police work
■ From page 1
Legin closing
ends era of
cooperation
gangs of the 1990s have disappeared, and there’s virtually
no organized Asian crime now.
But others say there are a
number of organized and semiorganized men and women
preying on others within the
community — gangs that don’t
look like typical gangs.
conflicting reports
In a community and culture
where airing dirty laundry in
public is considered indefensible, it is almost impossible for
outsiders to know whether reports of Asian against Asian
gang crime are true or not.
“For the past five years,
they’ve been by and large off
the radar,” says Captain Ron
Alexander, who oversees the
Portland police Gang Enforcement Team.

Closer to home.
A number of Asian
community leaders say
they regret the loss of the
community policing model that emerged in the
1990s to successfully oppose a proliferation of
Asian gangs. For a while,
they say, Asian leaders
were talking to police
about crimes in their communities, and police successfully worked with
those leaders to all but
eliminate Asian gangs.
A tipping point came one
week in the mid-’90s, when a
number of Southeast Asian
families were victimized by
home invasions, says attorney
Ronault Catalani, coordinator
of New Portlander Programs
for the Portland Office of Equity and Human Rights. Catalani became instrumental in
helping bridge a longstanding
lack of trust between local
Asians and police.
Among those who were
victimized was Siou Bounketh, owner of Legin Restaurant on Southeast 82nd Avenue. Bounketh responded by
helping call together elders
from among many of the
Southeast Asian groups in
town. The elders began meeting with police officials to put
together a series of community policing agreements.
According to Catalani, police officers started getting
tips through those leaders,
and began sitting in cafes
and taking lunch in Asian
restaurants to establish a
presence in the Southeast
As i a n n e i g h b o r h o o d s
around 82nd Avenue.
Bounketh, who speaks
seven languages, has become an informal authority
figure to many in the eastside Southeast Asian community. And Legin has been
the place where many
Asians tell each other what
is really happening in their
neighborhoods.
But Bounketh, originally
from Laos, is closing Legin
and retiring. Catalani says
that represents a hugely significant loss at a time when
many are wondering if Asian
gangs here are poised to
make a comeback.
Maybe, Catalani says, a
new gathering place will be
found to take the place of Legin. But something else will
not be replaced, according to
Catalani.
“His moral authority we
will never have.”

How about for a Latino
youth? Portland has a street
named for one — César
Chávez. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is another.
Now, how about some nationally recognizable AsianAmerican role models? Not so
easy. And that, says Pepperdine University sociologist Rebecca Kim, reveals a big problem. If Asian-Americans are
the models of success so many
believe them to be, Kim says,
there ought to be public figures to inspire Asian youth to
become involved in public life.
Yes, at UCLA more than 4 of
10 undergraduate students are
Asian. At UC Berkeley, close to
half the students are Asian.
Kim says at the top music conservatories in the United
States, the Asian percentage
of students is even higher. But
even those high achievers will
face barriers,” Kim says.
“Asian-Americans are perpetually viewed as foreigners
who are not quite ‘American,’ “
she says. “They face a glass
ceiling in promotions, particularly to managerial /leadership positions.”
Police different in Vietnam
Nguyen says Portland’s Vietnamese Americans don’t view
the police as allies, because in
Vietnam police were corrupt,
constantly demanding payoffs
to provide protection. Even
home invasion robberies in the
‘90s, in which Southeast Asian
families were tied up and
robbed at gunpoint, were never
reported to police, Nguyen
says.
With the Asian community
maintaining silence about the
crimes, Nguyen says, few Asian
kids are getting caught and
sent into the juvenile justice
system. That keeps the Asian
gang problem below the radar,
so when it comes time to apportion government funds for gang
prevention, Asian problems are
undercounted.
“The police go by the definition, ‘Do they have a name? Do
they have a color? Do they identify as a group?’ “ Nguyen says.
“Asian gangs don’t. Why would
I be visible? I just stay under
the radar making money.”
Ronault Catalani, coordinator of New Portlander Programs for the Portland Office of
Equity and Human Rights, and

Portland’s Asian communities
and local government, says a
solution to the problem of Asian
gangs exists, and it was successful in Portland 15 years ago.

Asian high schooler with whom
he has been working who was
beaten up because he was
wearing red gangster-style
clothing. The youth was cornered in the school bathroom
by kids who associated themselves with another gang,
which wore blue.
Soon, the youth’s friends
started dressing alike as a form
of protecting each other. Next,
the Asian youth went out and
bought a handgun. After that,
he and friends started stealing
from their extended families to
get money for drugs, knowing
nobody would report them to
police. Eventually, after beating
his mother, he was sent to live
with out-of-state relatives, never coming to the attention of
police.

In Portland, no Asian-American has sat on the City Council or won a race for a significant local office, says Mary Li,
a department manager of human services for Multnomah
County and board member of
the Asian Pacific American
Network of Oregon. Though
David Wu did serve several
terms as a local U.S. congressman, Li says Portland Asians
have never politically organized as they have in Seattle
and San Francisco, where
their populations are larger.
That’s because so many here
still take their cultural cues
from their Asian background
rather than an American perspective.
“You have to step outside
your own culture in order to
be present and visible in this
culture,” Li says. Too few
Asians in Portland are willing

to support the “status quo.”
It’s at least the second piece of
negative literature that rogue
supporters of Smith are producing without his knowledge, his
campaign manager Henry Kraemer says.
A single-sheet typed essay, titled “Troubling pattern for

uted.
After the first piece surfaced,
Smith’s campaign managed to
find out which supporter circulated it, and Smith addressed
the issue during a public debate
afterward.
The message was to “stick to
positive messages and talk
about the needs of the city, and
staying out of the gutter,” Kraemer says. “We think politics
should be a thing that builds
people up, not tears people
down.”
From the day he announced
he would run for office, Smith
pledged he would be a different
kind of candidate. He’s disclosed
campaign contributions within
three business days, refused
corporate donations, and said he
would do no opposition research
or negative advertising. His

CASE, not SolarWorld, speaks
for the vast majority of those
employed in the U.S. solar industry.
CASE’s top priority is increasing the availability of solar
power, Lapidus says, which is
best achieved by lowering the
cost until it reaches parity with
power generated by other
sources, including coal. Lapidus
argues the cost of solar power
has been coming down for a variety of reasons, but that it will
increase if SolarPower wins its
trade complaint.
Solar World workers transfer a solar panel to the next step in the
production process at the German company’s Hillsboro plant. Some
critics say their products are too expensive, a charge the company
denies.
“Five years ago, we saw the
industry really taking off in the
United States, and we carefully
planned how we would be a responsible leader in this growing
market,” Gordon Brinser, SolarWorld’s U.S. president of manufacturing, told the ITC. “We
made enormous investments in
our facilities and devoted substantial resources to technological development. However,
far from benefiting from the
growth in U.S. demand, SolarWorld has been severely
harmed by unfairly traded Chinese imports.”
During their testimony, supporters said at least 14 U.S.
manufacturers have closed or
downsized their operations in
recent years, resulting in the
loss of thousands of jobs in Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Mexico,
New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, New Mexico and Tennessee.

After investigating the complaint, the commerce department announced preliminary

most observers say the tariffs

Lapidus and others in CASE
insist SolarWorld has not proven its case. They say the preliminary ITC and commerce
department determinations are
flawed because they are not
based on detailed studies of actual Chinese transactions. Instead, because the U.S. government does not consider China
to be a market economy, they
are based on a model derived
from Taiwan.
Santarris disagrees. He
notes that Shi Zhengrong, the
chief executive and founder of
China’s biggest solar panel
manufacturer, Suntech Power
Holdings, admitted to the New
York Times in August 2009 that
his company was selling solar
panels on the American market for less than the cost of the
materials, assembly and shipping.

years of experience and have been helping
patients in the Portland area for five years.
In addition to hearing aids, they offer comprehensive hearing exams for adults and
children, custom sound protection, and
other assistive listening devices such as TV
Ears®.
According to Dr. Alisa Weinzimer,
“Hearing loss is affecting 36 million people today. Although hearing problems are
commonly associated with the normal aging process, more than half of all people
suffering from hearing loss are younger

the first clinic in the Portland area to offer
the new device. As the first clinic in Portland to offer the Lyric®, Pacific Audiology
Clinic has had time to adapt to this new
technology right along with their patients.
Lyric® is an extended wear device that sits
inside of the ear canal, making it completely invisible to others.

Because Lyric® is worn for months at a
time there are no daily hassles such
as insertion, removal or battery
changes. Lyric® is water resistant and
is worn when showering, sleeping and
exercising.
Unlike other hearing devices, Lyric®
is placed deep into the bony portion of
the ear canal so that the receiver resides
approximately 4 mm from the tympanic
membrane and the microphone is ≥4 mm
from the opening of the ear canal. This
placement deep in the ear canal provides a
number of sound quality benefits such as
reduced feedback, improved directionality and localization, and minimized occlusion effect.

Charlie Hales should be next mayor
Questions of style — as opposed to
policy — are at the heart of the Portland mayor’s race.
The political differences between
Charlie Hales and Jefferson Smith are
extremely thin. Both are solid Portland
liberals who are willing to embrace
Portland’s loftier aspirations, but who
also firmly acknowledge that this city
needs to work
harder on basic
functions such
as public safety,
garbage pickup, street paving and sewer and water services.
Given the philosophical similarities
between the two candidates, voters
should base their decision on temperament, talent and experience. On balance, we believe Charlie Hales is the
right person for this job.
Hales is highly knowledgeable about
city government — having served as a
city commissioner from 1992 to 2002.
His work experience spans both the
public and private sectors. He has
shown his ability to build coalitions,
and he has an easygoing style that
doesn’t necessarily excite passion, but

who share the goal of moving Portland
forward.
Hales’ opponent certainly has his
strengths. Smith is smart — some
might say brilliant — and he bubbles
with ideas and energy. As a legislator
representing an East Portland district,
he won the respect of colleagues in
both parties. Smith has a particular
understanding of the disparities faced
by residents of outer East Portland,
whose neighborhoods often have been
neglected as the city invested its dollars and attention elsewhere.
Smith, however, isn’t ready for the
mayor’s job. His campaign has suffered
from a steady stream of reports about
his past unruly behavior and lapses in
judgment. He has had to spend too
much time apologizing for, or continually explaining and re-explaining, his
driving record and disturbing incidents that date back to his college
days.
We believe Smith is a different person today than he was 20 years ago, or
even five or 10 years ago. But he still
land and for re-examining city priorities. He pledges to redirect resources
away from pet projects and administrative overhead to better fund basic
needs such as street paving and sidewalks.
These are the types of promises that
many candidates make, but a defining
difference for Hales is that he already
understands how difficult it is to
bring about meaningful change in a
bureaucratic organization. He will
come into the mayor’s office with a
decade’s worth of knowledge about
City Hall and with the added perspective of having worked in the private
sector both before and after holding
public office.

MyVIEW ● PGE: System better now, but disasters recur
Columbus Storm lesson: Be prepared
By Bill Nicholson
O
n the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 12, 1962, one
of the most intense
wind storms to ever
hit the Pacific Northwest swept
through Oregon. With hurricane-force gusts up to 145 miles
per hour, the Columbus Day
Storm tore roofs off buildings
and shattered windows, uprooted trees and power poles,
and left almost 98 percent of
Portland General Electric’s
customers without electricity.
It was the largest natural disaster in the country that year
— and it offers a reminder of
how important it is for us to be
prepared for events that could
have a similar impact on our
communities in the future.
As the winds subsided and
the next day dawned sunny
and warm, PGE staff, retirees
and temporary employees
worked day and night to restore electric service. Extra
work crews and equipment
were brought in from as far
away as Southern California
and Colorado. Despite the massive damage, most customers
had power again in 2 1/2 days
— although it took about two
weeks to bring everyone back
on and wrap up the majority of
the restoration work. The $4
million PGE spent on repairs at
that time would be the equivalent of $32 million in today’s
dollars.
Stories about the storm are a
testament to the hard work and
dedication utility workers and
thousands of other Oregonians
demonstrated as they rebuilt 50
years ago. While the Columbus
Day Storm was an extraordinary event, “routine” winter
storms and the potential for a
major natural disaster like a
Cascadia subduction zone
earthquake should motivate all
of us to prepare for similar
challenges in the future.
At PGE, we’ve made many
upgrades to our system since
1962 — learning from every
storm as we build a more resilient system and constantly
fine-tune our operations, including crew readiness, outage
preparations and materials and
equipment stockpiles. Today
we have a stronger distribution
system, with more underground lines, tree wire (with
heavier-than-usual insulation)
and an extensive tree-maintenance program. In addition,
smart meters and the smart
grid are laying the groundwork
for even stronger reliability and
outage response in the future.
Coordination with local emer-
courTeSy oF oregon HISTorIcAL SocIeTy, Pge ArcHIveS
Fifty years ago this week, the columbus day Storm of 1962 struck a
blow to Portland and the Pacific northwest.
gency responders is also crucial. This fall, in particular,
we’re making a special effort to
reach out to local officials to
give them a better picture of
how we’re prepared to respond
when the power goes out, and
to gain a better understanding
of their needs and expectations
of us as well.
This communication is essential, because in a major storm
or disaster, the region’s ability
to recover depends on partnerships created in advance to
identify capabilities and priorities, and assure that procedures
to protect public safety and
help those most in need can be
implemented seamlessly.
These partnerships extend to
every household in Oregon.
Emergency responders and
those of us who operate the
public infrastructure need to
prepare, but you need to as
well. That means having an
emergency plan and kit ready
for your family and your workplace so that you can be prepared for a range of situations,
from being stuck in traffic during an ice storm to finding food
and shelter after a natural disaster that could disrupt power
and other essential services for
days or even weeks.
The Columbus Day Storm left
many Oregonians camped by
their fireplaces and digging into
their canned goods while waiting for services to be restored.
Tens of thousands of homes
were damaged and 46 people in
Oregon and Washington lost
their lives. Hundreds more were
injured.
PGE’s customer base has tripled in the past 50 years. Along
with this dramatic growth,
we’ve all come to depend on
new technologies and conveniences that might not be available during a natural disaster or
storm. To prepare, PGE offers
tips on building an outage/emergency kit on our website, at
PortlandGeneral.com/Outage.

By Charles Kuffner, Jr.
O
n Sept. 26, it was announced that Gov.
John Kitzhaber appointed Elisa Dozono
to an unpaid, volunteer position
on the Oregon Lottery Commission. Cryptically, the report
says, “...the appointment is a
plum political one.”
The Oregon Lottery generates more than $500 million a
year, most of it from video gambling machines in bars and taverns. Dozono is a partner in the
Miller Nash law firm. Miller
Nash represents the Dotty’s
Deli chain, one of the largest
lottery retailers. Kitzhaber’s
spokesman Tim Raphael states,
“We don’t expect any legal or
ethical conflicts.”
Recently, the Oregon Government Ethics Commission
cleared Dozono for the appointment and, of course, she was
confirmed by the Senate. Has
anyone read the ethics opinion?
Please read the opinion rendered July 30.
Interestingly, Ms. Dozono
poses the question as a non-equity partner in Miller Nash and
therefore not directly compensated from legal work performed on behalf of Dotty’s:
Would the representation of
Dotty’s by other Miller Nash attorneys prevent her from serving on the Lottery Commission?
I guess I am naive in thinking that this appointment is
without doubt “political capital” for Miller Nash and will
not mean a financial benefit to
the firm? After years in the
lawyer business, you can bet
Dozono and Miller Nash don’t
consider this appointment as
counting towards their pro bono obligation, but on the contrary look to cash in on the
“political capital” this political
plum represents.
The ethics opinion saw no
conflict and justified the finding in that she received no direct benefit from Miller Nash
representing Dotty’s; however,
it took three pages of circumlocution to accomplish that result.
More importantly, are we to
believe if non-equity partner
Dozono takes positions contrary to Miller Nash’s client
Dotty’s she will experience no
negative impact on her career
at Miller Nash? In my experience, if a non-equity partner
doesn’t produce income or
alienates an important client,
tenure at that firm is short
lived.
Does Elisa Dozono expect
communities like Hayden Island — with six lottery outlets
along North Jantzen Beach Avenue with at least 36 slot machines working night and day
for the Dotty’s Deli chain — to
be objective when considering
any new applications for Miller
Nash’s client Dotty’s?
Governor, is this any way to
build trust in small communities who expect protection from
predatory and greedy business
practices and shoddy agency
control? How obvious does it
have to get that Dozono, when
acting as commissioner, is going to encounter legal or ethical conflicts involving Dotty’s
or any other lottery retailer?
Even though she isn’t the attorney in charge of the Dotty’s
account, she will be accountable to the firm by her treatment of Dotty’s as a non-paid
volunteer on the Lottery Com-
mission holding a sweet plum
of a political appointment.
Has Elisa Dozono considered

Make a real difference: Write in Katy Smith
A
lot of serious concerns have come to
the fore about the
honesty of Charlie
Hales and Jefferson Smith’s incredible record of speeding
tickets and license suspensions.
Right now, neither candidate
standing for mayor of Portland
appears worthy of election to
office, any Portland office.
While many Portlanders
agree they are facing an election conundrum, what real options are available to voters as
write-in candidates?
At the Democratic National
Convention, Barack Obama
said that the best thing he ever
did was marrying Michelle
Robinson. She became his
muse, ethical sounding board
and self-styled Mom-in-Chief.
This may have been political
posturing, but is was prescient
and beyond wise even for a Chicago Democrat looking for a
high political “bounce” coming
out of Charlotte. It was also
very cute and invoked the old
saw: Behind every great man is
a great woman.
That’s why I am suggesting
we write in the name Katy
Smith for mayor of Portland.
Katy, since her marriage to Jefferson, has acted as Jefferson’s
muse. Jefferson doesn’t speed
anymore. Jefferson’s ODL is
valid.
Candidate Smith is facing the
political heat and its grave fallout. And, he is accepting full responsibility.
Perhaps Katy’s home cooking
and unique domestic ways have
tamed the many beasts within
this bright Harvard man? Jefferson certainly appears to
have changed, but is that
enough to earn him the nod for
mayor?
No, it is not.
But Katy Smith has made me
pause and reflect a bit more.
Perhaps the best candidate for
this office is not a flawed man
at all, but a sterling woman.
And recalling the president’s
words about Michelle Obama, I
think Jefferson Smith may very
well feel the same way. One can
certainly hope so.

Meyer has worked in the restaurant industry for 22 years,
much of the time without getting
any paid sick leave. “Generally,
it’s unheard of,” he says, except
for managers and top chefs.
“The cook may be snotty;
they may be half-coughing; they
just muscle through it,” Meyer
says. “It’s just a reality in restaurants; people work when
they shouldn’t all the time.”
But Meyer, who also serves as
chef and operations manager at
Grain & Gristle, says he’s offering health insurance to his employees, and realizes they’ll
need paid sick days to assure
they’ll use it. So starting in January, his servers and kitchen
staff will begin accruing paid
sick days, at the rate of one
week a year for full-time employees.
“Honestly, I think it’s a basic
right,” he says.

settled yet on how many days of
sick leave might be required.
For employers of office workers, mandating sick pay may not
be a big deal if the sick worker
isn’t replaced and simply makes
up lost time when they return.
But if workers are granted five
days sick pay, and they must be
replaced, that can be costly.
One week equals about 2 percent of their annual wages. And
drafting replacement workers
sometimes involves having to
pay overtime, says Ben Meyer,
co-owner of the Grain & Gristle,
a Northeast Portland restaurant.
In San Francisco, a study by
the Institute for Women’s Policy
Research found the average
worker is taking three sick days
a year now. In the restaurant industry, it’s about two days —
shorter because many of those
workers can’t make up for lost
tips, and tend to return to work
sooner.

Subject of true-crime book starts anew
COURTESY OF RICK SWART
328434.101112
the Lostine River in Eastern Oregon’s Wallowa-Whitman National Forest on Oct. 9, 2000, when
she shot him in the head while he
was either sleeping or passed
out. Toxicology tests showed a
high level of a heavy sedative in
his system, as well as trace
amounts of alcohol.
Northon said her husband was
abusive. During the camping
trip, she said he was intoxicated
and on drugs when he choked,
beat and tried to drown her. During the night, she heard him stirring and thought he was coming
after her. She said she grabbed
her son, ran for the car and blindly fired a gun at her husband.
Then she jumped into the family’s Ford Explorer and drove to a
friend’s house in Washington
state, where her 8-year-old son
from a prior marriage was.
When she got there, she claimed
that Chris had tried to kill her on
the camping trip. The county undersheriff found her husband’s
body later that afternoon.
Police ultimately arrested the
woman, and she was charged
with murder. She told investigators she reported prior acts of
abuse to Bend police and accused her husband of violating a
restraining order she had
against him.
Ann Rule’s book about the
case paints a very different picture of the couple. Rule found
that Chris was asleep or drugged
unconscious when he was shot in
the temple at close range. Rule
doesn’t agree with Northon’s version of events.
Northon, however, calls the
book “such a bunch of rot.”

Wallowa County Chieftain, a
weekly newspaper, when Northon was arrested and tried for
murder. At the time, he didn’t
realize the woman appearing in
the pages of his newspaper was
the same woman who stole his
heart more than 20 years earlier
when she was 17-year-old Lisa
DeWitt.
The two met at Wallowa Lake,
and Swart, then 22, was smitten.
But they lost touch with each
other.
He didn’t make the connection
until years after the trial and
plea deal.
By 2007, he’d moved to Portland and became the publisher of
the South County Spotlight
newspaper in Scappoose, a
newspaper owned by Pamplin
Media Group, which is the same
company that owns the Gresham Outlook and the Portland
Tribune. He later went to work
for the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife as a spokesman.
Meanwhile, Northon had filed
complaints against her former attorney, Pat Birmingham. The Oregon State Bar Association dismissed the complaints in 2009.
She also sued Ann Rule, a suit
that a federal judge dismissed
that same year.
In December 2010, Swart wrote
to Northon in prison. She said he
presented himself as a journalist
interested in her story. A few
weeks after Swart mailed the letter, Northon agreed to an interview.
On Feb. 24, 2011, Swart’s wife of
19 years filed for divorce. She is
still employed by Pamplin Media
Group.
And on July 20, 2011, his freelance article titled “How Seattle’s
Queen of True Crime Turned a
Battered Wife into a Killer Sociopath” hit the streets of Seattle.
He skewered Rule, dissected
errors in the book and challenged its depiction of Northon
as “a sociopath who’d spent
years lying about abuse to provide an alibi for cold-blooded
murder, and, afterward to cash
an insurance check.” Rule didn’t
interview Northon for the book
to get her side of the story, he
wrote.
When confronted about the
conflict of interest, Swart defended the article as factual.
And on Sept. 18, 2011, he and
Northon got married in the visitor’s room at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility. It was 12 days
after his divorce became official
on Sept. 6.
As for Northon, she’s especially looking forward to spending time with her family, including her sons, who are now 15
and 20.
“You can’t ever make up for all
the lost time,” she said. “I hate
the fact that I had to lose 12 years
of my kids’ lives, but who
wouldn’t to save their kids’
lives?”

After 12 years in prison, a
woman who killed her husband — and who became the
topic of a best-selling true
crime book — is being released with plans to move into her new husband’s Eagle
Creek home.
Liysa Northon, 50, was released from prison Tuesday — 12
years to the day after she shot
her former husband, 44-year-old
Chris Northon, at a rural Eastern
Oregon campground.
She must report to a parole officer based in Oregon City.
Northon’s case — called one of
domestic violence and self-defense by some, one of calculated
murder by others — is a complex
one.
During a telephone interview
from Coffee Creek Correctional
Facility in Wilsonville this week,
Northon said she was motivated
by nothing more than the desire
to save her two children and her-
“Once they

circumstances,

welcomed all shapes, sizes, ages
and abilities. Guitron views dancing as an endeavor and celebration, not meant for only skinny
people in tights and tutus, but for
all in the community to enjoy. Everybody with a beating heart has
a dance inside them. Express
yourself. Move yourself.
“I can show people that everybody can dance,” says Alexis Jewell, an All-Access Program attendee and dancer for 13 years.
About 30 people regularly attend program classes at Polaris,
with up to 80 from around the city
taking part at times.
Often, “altered ability” dancers
perform with Polaris members.
Just to see them dancing with the
more physically fortunate, sideby-side ...
“Hugely compelling stories,”
says Colleen Genuine, All-Access
Program director.
“It’s an element of human connection,” she adds. “For anybody,
that’s powerful. As we recognize
that our community is not made
up of all ‘able-bodied people,’ the
art of dance can cross all levels of
stereotypes and demographics. It
doesn’t fit into a container box.
We’re all able to express ourselves through movement. Just
moving our bodies with the connection and movement and intention becomes a very rewarding
physical experience.”
Brinkley’s legs and hands were
amputated at age 2. It didn’t take
long for her to hear the music and
learn to rhythmically move in the
wheelchair and, by middle school,
a teacher had convinced her to
get out of the chair and dance. It
was a big step forward.
She feels free, moving about on
the floor.
“I’m able to do more, express
myself better,” she says. “I have to
figure out ways to express myself
with little, but to make it big. ...
Music inspires my movement,
watching other people dance inspires my emotion. That’s different.”

Polaris: Dance brings out emotion, spirit

who choreographed dance at
her school, Brinkley joined Polaris and became a professional
company member. She’s also the
All-Access Program coordinator, and she shares her thoughts
and feelings with the aspiring
dancers who enter the Polaris
studio.
“It’s something more people
should be involved in,” Brinkley
says. “Everybody’s welcome. You
learn so much about different
people and what they’re capable
of, and you learn about yourself
and what you’re open to.”
When she danced with Lakey
at “X-Posed,” Brinkley could feel
that the duet “shocked the audience.” But, “it felt completely
natural to me. We connected so
easily. Made it a lot of fun.” Brinkley will dance in Polaris’ next
performance, Oct. 18 to 20 at Lincoln Hall.
Lakey was recovering from a
torn anterior cruciate ligament
in June. Now she has an Achilles
tendon injury. Although clearly
not in the same condition as others around her, she can relate to
them.

Yesteryear, political turmoil
in Turkey kept such Western
films as “Star Wars” out of
viewing for the average Istanbul moviegoer. In 1982, however,
Turkish filmmakers cobbled together footage stolen from

own, including some of the bestworst fuzzy costumed scenes
ever filmed, as well as ominous
Big-Brother-sounding narrative,
in order to slake the thirst of
Turkish audiences for science

Public displays of poetry a local phenomena
Poetry comes off
the bookshelves and
into front yards
By ELLEN SPITALERI
Pamplin Media Group
Paintings, sculpture and
other forms of art are displayed in museums, on walls,
in public places, but poetry?
That is usually only available
on pages in books squirreled
away on shelves — until now.
About 10 years ago, Laura
Foster, author of “Portland Hill
Walks” and several other
books, noticed a lone poetry
pole — a box on a stick in a
front yard playing host to a
typewritten poem for passersby
to read.
“I thought it was a one-off,
but a friend called me a couple
of years ago and asked if I’d noticed the proliferation of poetry
posts,” Foster says.
Once she started looking
around, she found plenty of poetry poles, enough that she
could lead walking tours, taking in a dozen or so at a time.
“It is a charming part of our
city; Portland is so literary
minded,” Foster says.
Why the sudden interest in
public displays of poetry?
“Maybe the gray skies make
you contemplative; we are less
active in the winter and more
introspective. When we take a
walk on a gray day, it is so apt to
read someone’s well-thought
out thoughts,” Foster says.
Although she admits she is
not one who reads a lot of poetry, she does pay attention to the
ways that people express themselves creatively, like in their
gardens or with stonework.
“If people feel strongly
enough to type up a poem, that
becomes a magnet; it shakes
you out of your own world,” she
says. “These wonderful threads
weave together, as we go off
and explore the city.”
Maps and apps
Matt Blair has been working
on an iPhone/iPad application
that will allow folks to choose a
neighborhood, look at poetry
boxes near their current location, share them via email,
Twitter and Facebook and submit their own photos of the poetry boxes they visit.
It is taking him a bit of time
to make the app happen, he
says, so in the meantime he
made a Web-based map that
works with desktop and laptop
computers, showing the locations of poetry boxes in the
metro area.

PAMPLIN MEDIA GROUP PHOTO: ELLEN SPITALERI
Colleen McClain and Don Riggs have posted poetry outside their North
Portland home for about five years, and are astonished at the number
and variety of people who stop and read their prose.
“When I started this project,
I only had two photos and seven
confirmed locations. Now I have
71 photos, and 173 locations, but
it’s taken more than two years
to get there,” Blair says.
“I’ve always been enthusiastic about projects/practices
which bring art out of traditional venues and into the ‘real’
world; the spaces where we
live, walk, move and interact in
our everyday lives — to bringpoetry into pedestrian places,
literally,” he adds.
He has found a few examples
of similar phenomena in other
cities, but thinks that Portland
has more of these than the rest
of the world combined.
“I think poetry boxes have
the potential to be one of Portland’s next great cultural exports,” Blair says.
“We are a city of walkers,
that’s a big part of it. And also a
city of words. People here love
language and literature, and
poetry boxes give them a way to
put that love on display and
share it with their neighbors,”
he adds.

Find out more
Two couples have poetry
poles in their front yards, and
they have experienced a coming together of neighbors who
read and enjoy the works on
display.
Susan Moray and Art Nord
live in Southeast Portland’s
Ladd’s Addition, and they saw a
map of poetry poles in the city,
drove around looking at them,
and then six months ago put up
their own box.
“I loved the idea of poetry out
in public; I like the idea of art
being visible, especially in
these days when art is not in
the budget, this is an inexpensive way to get it out there,”
Nord says, adding that he and
Moray always include a photo
illustration to accompany the
poems in their box.
The couple also makes a
point of putting out poems that
will appeal to children, since
they live so close to Abernethy
Elementary School.
“We like to have children exposed to the poetry come away
thinking they could create this,
or maybe they’ll ask their parents to do this,” Moray says.
The two have different tastes
in poetry, Nord says, noting that
he is more image oriented,
while Moray, his life partner,
prefers inspirational poetry.
“I like nature imagery that
captures a moment, an experience that can inspire us to wonder, whereas Susan likes poetry
that tells where the moment
has led you,” he adds.
The couple gets a kick out of
watching people stop to read
the poem in the box, and once
had two people come to the
door asking about a poem that
had recently been taken down.
“Susan keeps all the poems
she has put out, so she was able
to give them the poem,” Nord
says.
Moray likens putting up a poetry pole to putting a bumper
sticker on a car, noting, “It’s my
opportunity to philosophize.”
Nord adds, “When we read
other people’s poetry posts I
feel I know a little bit about
them — I just like walking past

Do you have a shoulder to
spare? With your permission, Carole thinks that
would be a great place to
perch and get to know you
better. And when you have
things to do, this four-year
old cat is looking forward to
keeping a close eye on
you, just because humans
are so darned interesting.
If Carole could talk, she
might say something like
this: “Is that a feather wand
in your hand? Do you like
affectionate cats who are
also okay doing their own
thing? Let’s talk! Are you
sure that isn’t a feather
wand in your hand?” Carole is waiting for you at

Snapdragon is just two
years old and has spent
some of his time at the
shelter figuring out the
latch on his cage. He’s
inquisitive-things like grocery bags are so
interesting-and he thinks
people are great, too. He
settles easily into one’s
arms and stops to purr before chasing his next
mini-adventure. Snapdragon has gotten along
well with other shelter cats
but is really hoping for a
home and some people of
his own. Meet him at the
Hillsboro PetSmart or learn

centage (26.7) and seventh in
opponents’ first downs (14.2).
Langsdorf knows establishing
the run will be a key Saturday.
“We have to protect the quarterback,” he says. “We have to
get the ball out of his hands
quick. And we have to be able to
run the ball. It’s the normal cliche stuff, but it’s real. When
we’re a balanced team, we’re
very good. When we’re one-dimensional, it’s hard.
“You have to be able to sustain some drives against this
team and continue to try to
run. It’s not always going to be
easy. If we can run early and
get two to three yards and keep
going, then those things turn
into five and six yards in the
fourth quarter, and that’s how
you win.”
If it happens, it will mean a
sweet first start for Vaz.
“I’ve been waiting for this
chance,” he says. “So here it is,
and I have to make the most of
it.”
guys, but we’ll get the chemistry down,” he says. “I don’t
think that will be a problem.”
Langsdorf says the Beavers
won’t have to alter their plan
with Vaz at quarterback.
“We really don’t,” the O-coordinator says. “There’s always
that consideration with the No.
2 guy, where you might have to
pare down some things. That
won’t happen with Cody.
“He’s a junior, he’s been here
forever, he’s had a ton of work
and he had a wonderful (training) camp even a year ago. He
hasn’t played in games, but he
has played a ton of football (at
practice) for us. We’ll run the
same exact package that we had
for Sean. Nothing will change.”
Oregon State’s offense was
going to be in a tough game Saturday even with Mannion at

Greater Portland’s Chamber of Commerce
It took many years to figure out the mechanism of nail penetration, the carrier substances that would penetrate the nail, and the naturally occurring antifungal
substances that would be transported with the carrier substances to the nail bed and how to document the results.
Encino, California — It’s estimated that in the United States alone 30
to 35 million people have one or more
discolored toenails. And that yellow,
thick, crumbling nail is not just limited
to your toes. However, new reports state
that researchers on the West Coast have
developed a product that finally cures
100% of the most common fungus
called onychomycosis to restore nails on
both your feet and hands to their beautiful color and feel.
Fungus Free Nails is all natural and
completely safe with no side effects. It
was designed and developed by medical
doctors and researchers in California. In
fact, we asked Dr. Marc Selner, who
tested the product in the lab at USCF
Medical School, to tell us more about
this revolutionary product.
How does Fungus Free Nails work
and what makes it different from
other products that claim to cure nail
fungus?
Dr. Selner — Fungus Free Nails can
penetrate the skin because of the patent
pending carrier system that can actually
go through your nail in order to deliver
the antifungal cure to the nail bed. The
reason other products are ineffective is
because they are water soluble solutions. Water cannot penetrate the skin
(more importantly the toenail, which is
thick layers of skin). Just apply one thin
coat of Fungus Free Nails twice daily.
Dr. Selner, why and how does
Fungus Free Nails penetrate the nail
where other topical products do not?
Dr. Selner — Once again, Fungus
Free Nails penetrates the nail because it
isn’t a water soluble solution. Our product incorporates a naturally occurring,
non-toxic, organic solvent that carries
with it the necessary fungicidal essential
oils to the nail bed in order to kill the
fungus that is living, growing and
spreading there.
In layman’s terms how can Fungus Free Nails promise to “cure” onychomycosis or nail fungus?
Dr. Selner — Because Fungus Free
Nails actually works as demonstrated in
clinical trials and it is manufactured according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. In fact, all
the ingredients are on the FDA’s Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) list. This
is a one of a kind revolutionary cure for
nail fungus.
According to a recent Wall Street
Journal report dated February 22, 2011,
toenail laser treatment can cost from
$750 to $1,500 for a treatment course. In
fact, the article went on to say that,
“Solid evidence of the lasers’ effectiveness is scant.”
Fungus Free Nails is an all-natural,
completely safe with no side effects
way to kill nail fungus. There is no better product on the market today. You can
get started curing those ugly, yellow,
thick and crumbling toenails by ordering
Fungus Free Nails today.
Nail fungus can be cured and Fungus Free Nails will do it guaranteed or
your money back. In fact we are so confident that you can return even an empty
bottle and you will receive a full refund.
These statements have not been evaluated by
the FDA. This product is not intended to
diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any diseases.

as a blocker and offensively,”
Seemann says.
And, as a distributor, 5-10 junior Garyn Schlatter from Canby leads the way with 11 assists
per set, third in the Big Sky. The
Vikings have “clarified her role
this year,” Seemann says, using
her solely as a setter after she
mixed in some hitting duties
with her setting last season.
PSU has 12 more regular-season matches, including Friday at
Idaho State and Saturday at Weber State. And then it will all
come down to — as it always
does — the conference tournament, to be hosted by the regular-season champion Nov. 23-24.
The Big Sky tourney gets an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament, and odds are good it
will be the league’s only spot in
the national playoffs.
“It’s a tough region, with six
or seven Pac-12 teams probably
getting in and the West Coast
Conference having some good
teams, too,” Seemann says. “The
Big Sky as a whole is so much
better this year than it has been,
but you might still be talking
about just one team making it.”
Seemann says he’d like to see
the conference send its regularseason winner to the NCAA
tourney — “and I’ve been on
both sides of it.”
The other thing he’d love to
see is more fans in the seats at
Stott Center matches. Average
home attendance this season:
416.
“We’re consistently disappointed with the turnout,” he
says. “We have a winning product, an exciting, dynamic
game.”
On Campus
n In soccer, the University of
Portland men are tied for first in
the West Coast Conference and
the PSU women are leading the
Big Sky.
The WCC regular-season
men’s champion gets what could
be the conference’s only spot in
the 48-team NCAA tournament.
Portland is No. 49 in the RPI
rankings. Saint Mary’s, 19th, is
the only WCC team rated higher
than UP.
In the Big Sky, the regularseason champion plays host to a
four-team tournament Nov. 1-4,
the winner of which gets into the
NCAA tourney. Any other Big
Sky team would have to make
the 64-team NCAA field via the
RPI, something that is highly unlikely.
n In Monmouth, coach Steve
Ancheta (former Central Catholic High coach) has the Wolves’
women’s soccer team at 4-3-1 in
the Great Northwest Athletic
Conference after their 1-0 weekend upset on the road of Montana State Billings. Ex-Wilson
High standout Lindsay Bauman, a senior midfielder, scored
in the 109th minute. She leads
the Wolves with 10 points.
n Another week, another Andre Broadous mention. The Cal
Poly senior QB from Grant High
threw a career-high three TD
passes in a 45-23 victory over
Weber State last week. With a
win Saturday at home over
Northern Colorado, 14th-ranked
Cal Poly would take a 6-0 record
into its Oct. 20 home tilt with
Portland State.

land and the New York Knicks
meet Thursday, March 14 at the
Rose Garden and Tuesday, Jan. 1
at Madison Square Garden. ExBlazer Rasheed Wallace is
launching an NBA comeback
with the Knicks.
n After a foot injury to Cedric
Benson, backup Green Bay running back Alex Green, from
Benson High, got a chance to
contribute Sunday against Indianapolis. Green had 55 yards on
nine carries, including a 41-yard
burst that set up a TD, giving
Green Bay a 27-22 lead that it
couldn’t hold in the 30-27 loss.
Green’s run was the longest by a
Packer since Dec. 11, 2011.
With Benson expected to miss
at least eight weeks, Green
should be in the rotation, start-
ing Sunday night at 5-0 Houston.
n The American Hockey
League and East Coast Hockey
League start their season on Friday with several NHL players
joining AHL regulars due to the
big league’s labor strife.
The list of AHL players includes former Winterhawks
Nino Niederreiter (Bridgeport
Sound Tigers), Ryan Johansen
and Oliver Gabriel (Springfield
Falcons), Riley Boychuk (Rochester Americans), Brett Ponich
(Peoria Rivermen), Luke Walker (Lake Erie Monsters), Spencer Bennett (Portland Pirates),
Frazer McLaren (Worcester
Sharks), Marcel Noebels (Adirondack Phantoms) and Colton
Sceviour (Texas Stars).
The ECHL has Brandon Dubinsky (Alaska Aces) and Taylor
Aronson (Cincinnati Cyclones).
n Mike Pierce of Portland
knocked out Aaron Simpson in
their UFC undercard bout last
week in Minneapolis. Pierce
raised his MMA record to 15-5,
after surviving a first-round flurry by Simpson.
Commentary
n Looks like the country’s soccer powers all are seriously
brainstorming a new women’s
professional league that would
begin play in 2013 and help support the U.S. national program.
It’s time for Portland to have a
team in any new league. It would
be an embarrassent for the city
not to be represented and for the
likes of Portland’s Megan Rapinoe and others to be playing for
a team in Seattle.
n As for the Timbers and
their frequent criticism of MLS
referees ... if the refs just would
have given Portland four penalty
kicks Sunday night at Seattle,
Merritt Paulson’s team probably would have done all right.

That’s the beauty of the offense
— athletes all over the place.
The defense can’t key on anybody.”
n Barner has 727 yards rushing (6.3 per carry) and nine
touchdowns through six games.
Thomas has touchdowns in the
past two games, but he has
been held somewhat in check in
the Pac-12 outings.
Much of UO offense’s success
depends on the line, which suffered another injury (Ryan
Clanton) versus UW. Carson
York has been lost for the season, and others have been
banged up.
Kelly likes the play of his offensive line, though. The Ducks
are averaging 302.3 rushing
yards, 541.7 yards total offense
and 52.3 points.
“You don’t consistently run
for 300 yards a game if you’re
not playing well up front,” he
says. “It’s a group that hasn’t
gotten enough credit.”
n Bralon Addison caught a
55-yard TD pass against Arizona. Barner slipped out of the
backfield for a 30-yard TD reception against WSU. Then,
Mariota threw four TD passes
against Washington — 21 yards
to Keanon Lowe, 10 and 13 yards
to Lyerla and 34 yards to Huff.
The Ducks have started stretching the field, especially with
teams gunning to stop the run.
No surprise to the Ducks.
“As an offense, we can always
do that. (Versus UW) the opportunity presented itself,” Mariota
says. “We capitalized. The receivers have been patient, trying to get open. They’ve been
working hard. I’m glad I was
able to get the ball to them.”
Mariota says he has focused
on his progressions, setting his
feet and getting the ball out to
receivers — “I have to trust
them and trust my ability to get
them the ball.”
Barner smiles, confidently,
when saying that the Ducks always have had the downfield
passing game. They just don’t
show it, unless needed to take
heat off the run game.
“Our playbook is full of
things that you guys never see,”
he says. “We go through a lot of
stuff in (closed) practice that we
never run in games.”
It feeds the perception that
Kelly and the Ducks have more
offense to display against upcoming tougher opponents.
“I’m not a coach, but if I was,
you run what you need to run,”
Barner says. “If you don’t have
to run anything you don’t want
anybody else to see, why would
you run it?”

Blazers: Batum knows ‘I have to step up’
from the line. He set a franchise record with nine 3-pointers en route to a career-high 33
points in a game against Denver and registered back-toback double-doubles in April.
But he was inconsistent,
sometimes hardly leaving his
imprint on the game or on the
stat sheet. Which leads to another goal for this season.
“I know that’s my biggest
weakness,” he says. “Since I
was playing in France when I
was 14 or 15, my coach told me
every time, ‘Consistency, consistency.’
“In the NBA, that’s huge. You
play so many games. You don’t
play once a week. You have to
be there every night. It’s going
to be even bigger for me this
year, I know that.”
For Batum to contribute, say,
18 points and six rebounds and
shoot with precision on most
nights would be a major boost
to the Blazers.
“Coaches love when they
know what they’re going to get
from night to night,” he says.
“The great ones give you a certain level every night that you
can count on. That’s going to be
part of his growth.”
Can Batum be a great one?
“He has the physical skills to
become a great player,” Stotts
says. “He’s young and has a
long career ahead of him. To
say at this stage that he
couldn’t be would be a disservice.”
Batum expects to be the No. 2
option on offense for Portland
this season behind All-Star
power forward LaMarcus Aldridge. It’s a role he became
used to this summer with the
French Olympic team, playing
with San Antonio point guard
Tony Parker.
“I played with a star, a go-to
guy in Tony, like LaMarcus
here in Portland,” Batum says.

“DADDY, ARE YOU REALLY
GOING TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO’S
GOING TO SEND YOUR JOB OVERSEAS?”
Meet with more than 275
colleges and universities at…
“What’s going to happen to me and Mommy, if he sends your job overseas? You told Mommy you had to vote for him because
he has a D after his name. I may be little, but even I know the D is supposed to stand for Democrat, not dimwit!”
That’s pretty smart thinking, Susie. But, don’t worry. Your daddy’s not dumb enough to vote for someone just because they
pretend to be a democrat. He knows a real democrat would never send his job and your future overseas by voting for some phony
so-called “free trade” bill. Your daddy knows Blumenauer has voted 80 percent of the time for “free” trade treaties that ship our
jobs, our tax bases and your future overseas, and have caused untold misery to millions of Americans.
Real democrats, like FDR, Harry Truman, and JFK, and Republicans like Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower, did everything
they could to protect American jobs and the American worker. They even had a Full Employment Policy to keep unemployment
down to 3%. Why? Because they knew that, just like when apples and oranges are scarce and the price goes up, when labor is
scarce the price of labor also goes up. That means employers will have to compete for your daddy’s skills and time, and he’ll make
more money and benefits. But, guess what, the employers will also be better off because everybody will have more money to
spend. Main street, where you and your parents live and work will thrive once again. Imagine what that will look like.
And we can all see that with everybody working, there will be more money for your school and the roads to get you there, and
policemen and firemen to keep you safe.
So, don’t worry. Your daddy isn’t going to vote for Wall Street Earl. He’s going to listen to you and his common sense, and he’s
going to vote for Main Street Ron, because he wants a bright future for you. And, he can see that he’ll have a secure retirement
for himself, because when everybody’s working there’s enough money for Social Security and Medicare.

Players say Ducks have the right
attitude, balance and hunger
By JASON VONDERSMITH
The Tribune
EUGENE — “In The Air
Tonight” by Phil Collins
blared over the Autzen Stadium sound system before Oregon played Washington last
week. How appropriate.
There was something in the
air, as Oregon played its most
complete game, winning 52-21
to move to 6-0 (3-0 in Pac-12)
and solidify its No. 2 ranking
behind Alabama.
It’s still in the
air, and Kenjon
Barner says he
can feel it.
Something special is brewing.
“It’s been a
great attitude
throughout the
season,” the seMARIOTA nior running
back says. “But
it’s constantly progressing into
the attitude that we need to
have to be a championship
team.
“I felt we’ve had a special
group my entire time here. But
with this team, the attitude is
different. The attitude and the
drive. We have a hungry team.”
Tougher games lie ahead,
with upstart Arizona State at
Tempe, Ariz., at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, and road tilts at
USC (Nov. 3), Cal (Nov. 10) and
Oregon State (Nov. 24), sandwiching a Nov. 17 home date
with Stanford. The only gimme
will be Colorado at Autzen
(Oct. 27).
But the way the Ducks
turned up their preparation, execution and hard-fast-finish
play against Washington ...
they’re going to be tough to
beat. The season might turn
out the way everybody anticipated: The Pac-12 comes down
to two USC-Oregon games, one
for the Pac-12 title Nov. 30 (although the Sun Devils, Bears,
Beavers and Cardinal will have
something to say about it).
n The young Oregon offense
starts with redshirt freshman
quarterback Marcus Mariota,
who has suffered through some
growing pains — decision-making — but has been proving
himself to be the real deal, completing 67.9 percent of his passes and averaging 216.8 yards
per game, with 15 TD passes
and five interceptions. Fleet
afoot, he’s averaging 5.1 yards
per carry on 43 attempts.
His intangibles — learning
ability, work ethic — impress
coach Chip Kelly. Mariota rarely makes the same mistake
twice, Kelly often says of his
6-4, 210-pounder from Hawaii.
And, remember, Mariota has
been dealing with youth on the
offensive line and at receiver
and tight end, and injuries on
the O-line and to junior receiver Josh Huff.
“It’s fun to watch him grow
up in front of your eyes,” Kelly
says, of the QB.
Mariota throws a nice ball
and displays athleticism on the
run. “His pocket presence —
it’s amazing to me how he gets
out of tight situations that nine
out of 10 quarterbacks aren’t
getting out of,” Barner says.
Huff returned from a knee
injury to make one catch
against Washington State, and
then had a pretty one-on-one
move and stiff arm against a
Washington defensive back at
the end of a receiving touchdown.
Counting on Huff and tight
end Colt Lyerla, as well as stalwarts Barner and De’Anthony
Thomas, to make plays can only make Mariota’s job easier. It
makes the UO offense whole.
Huff says he’s close to 100
percent after missing 2 1/2
games with a knee injury.
“He can take a 5-yard out
route and turn it into a 60-yard
touchdown,” Mariota says.
“That’s very pivotal for an offense like ours. Now you’ve got
to respect his ability on the outside and can’t load the box.
That opens up running lanes
for De’Anthony and Kenjon.

gram is to go for it.”
The proof isn’t so much in the
stats on aces and errors, he says,
as it is in opponents’ hitting percentage. The Viks, who are hitting .209 (fifth in the Big Sky),
are allowing their opponents
.181 hitting (tied for third).
PSU has six primary servers,
including 5-7 sophomore Kasimira Clark (27 aces), 5-8 junior
Kaeli Patton (19) and 5-9 senior
Dominika Kristinikova (10),
who grew up in Slovakia.
Senior Megan Ellis, one of
the team’s top hitters, has 15 aces. The 6-0 Ellis (3.33 kills per
set) has extra help up front this
season from UO transfer Jaklyn
Wheeler, a 6-0 junior (4.23 kills
per set).
“Jakyln is very, very active,
and can bring it from anywhere,” Seemann says. “Megan

is up to the challenge.
“It’s really sad, but it’s football,” offensive coordinator
Danny Langsdorf says. “Just
like at any other position, we
have to move on. That train is
still rolling.
“It’s unfortunate for Sean,
but we have a ton of confidence
in Cody. We’ve talked up Cody
for a long time now, and now is
his chance. He knows it. It’s not
doom and gloom around here.”
Vaz smiled often and seemed
loose as he met with media following his first practice as the
Oregon State starter on Monday.
“That’s the type of person I
am,” Vaz said. “I’m sure there
will be some butterflies on Saturday, but as a quarterback you
have to stay calm and let your
teammates know everything’s
going to be all right.
“I’m not going to be too overwhelmed with the whole situation. I’ll stay calm, be positive
and try to go in there and get a
win.”
Vaz threw for 3,908 yards and
32 touchdowns as a senior at St.
Mary’s, completing 31 of 46
passes for a state bowl game record 336 yards and four TDs in
the CIF D-II state championship
game. He was one of 10 finalists
for CalHiSports.com’s Mr. Football state player of the year.
Langsdorf and head coach
Mike Riley have given Vaz almost as many snaps as Mannion since spring practice, and
Vaz has worked in with the
starting group often. He has a
gun for an arm and knows the
OSU offense as well as Mannion, if not better.
“We’ve been going with Cody
for a long time,” senior wide receiver Markus Wheaton says.
“He came in (to Oregon State)
when I came in. We’ve had a lot
of reps together. I’m real confident in his abilities. He has always looked good at practice. I
don’t think we’ll miss a step.”

An open-court dunk was part of Nicolas Batum’s best NBA season, as he averaged 13.9 points
per game in 2011-12. But new Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts wants the fifth-year small forward-shooting guard to improve in a variety of ways and situations.

Serving up a winner
at Portland State
ortland State volleyball
is serving up something
good. The team is 8-0 in
the Big Sky Conference
for the first time and is taking
aim at a third trip to the NCAA
tournament in five years.
The Vikings are doing it this
season with a blend of talent,
good offense and defense, and
improved, more aggressive serving.
Fifth-year coach Michael Seemann says a focus on “tough
serving” has helped set the table
for the Vikings’ run, which included 3-0 home sweeps last
weekend of perennial Big Sky
contender Northern Colorado
and North Dakota.
“A lot of people talk about
serving tough
and what that
means,” Seemann says, “but
the challenge is
how to build
serving tough
into your practice and create
environments
KRISTINIKOVA where the outcome of the
serve has an impact on points.
“This is the first time in my
career in Division I that the kids
are totally locked in and understand the value of the serve. It’s
the one thing you have complete
control over in our sport.”
The Vikings don’t agonize
over service errors as much as
they reward aces or good serves
that help to take an opponent
out of its offensive system.
“We understand that if we’re
not missing some serves periodically, we’re not serving tough
enough,” Seemann says. “The

icolas Batum has some numbers in mind for the 2012-13 season — 50, 40 and 90.
As in shooting 50 percent
from the field, 40 percent from 3-point
range and 90 percent from the free-throw
line.
“If I get those three, or get close to it,
my other numbers should be in good
shape, too,” Batum says.
Terry Stotts has some different goals in
mind for the Trail Blazers’ starting small
forward, who signed a four-year, $46.1-million free-agent contract in the offseason.
Story by
“I just want him to
improve,” says the
first-year Portland
coach. “I’m glad he
came back. I’m glad he
has a good contract. But he’s 23, and he
needs to continue to improve. There are a
lot of things he does well, but ...”
Stotts then enumerates several areas in
which the 6-9, 210-pound native of France
can get better as he enters his fifth NBA
season.
“Offensively, being a facilitator, a playmaker, whether in pick-and-rolls or postups,” Stotts says. “Being a consistent wing

both (small forward) and (shooting

Activist wants PPS
to shoot higher on
building retrofits
By JENNIFER ANDERSON
Pamplin Media Group
Ten years ago, Shane
Endicott took his wife and
two young sons to Reggio
Emilia, Italy, to see what
great schools look like.
That public education system — known as one of the
best in the world — was rebuilt by residents from
scratch, brick by brick, after
World War II, when they decided to make children and
their education their most important priority.
“They have

Endicott, a

Endicott, director of the
ReBuilding Center ReBuilding
executive director Center on
North Mississippi Street.
“Portland’s soil is 10 times
richer than Reggio Emilia is
— we could blow them out of
the water.”
In fact, Endicott served on
Portland Public Schools’ longrange facilities advisory committee to try to come up with a
vision to do just that. The committee laid the ground work
for the $482 million construction bond measure voters will
consider Nov. 6.
Endicott is in full support of
the bond. He just thinks the
capital plan could fall short of
its sustainability potential,
and hopes the community will
step up to remedy that.
“Portland wants to be the
leader in sustainability,” he
says, but in the bond-funded
plans to rebuild four schools,
“we’re lowering the bar.” Endicott is referring to the fact that
PPS may seek LEED Silver
certification or equivalent
when it rebuilds Roosevelt,
Grant and Franklin high
schools and Faubion K-8, if the
bond is approved.
LEED Silver is one step below LEED Gold, the certification the district reached when
it built North Portland’s Rosa
Parks School in 2006.
Some Portland-area school
districts have set their sights
higher. Vernonia’s new K-12
school building is set to receive LEED Platinum, the
highest ranking. The new Sandy High School is seeking
LEED Gold.
Endicott says Portland must
aim higher. “Why take something out there and ask Portlanders — who embody this
ethos around sustainability —
and then take our public
schools to the lowest threshold?”

Jim Owens, PPS’ director of
capital operations, says the
jury’s still out on that part of
the bond development.
The long-range facilities advisory group had talked about
a silver standard or equivalent, he says, but “we could
still end up at a higher level,
like gold.”
Owens points out that a new
citizen group — comprised of
school community members,
parents, teachers and others,

Various constituencies gathered in Portland recently for
the Oregon Wave Energy Trust
conference.
“We got in front of this opportunity as a state about six
years ago, when we recognized
there would be an ocean energy
industry,” says Busch, a renewable energy lawyer. “It was a
matter of grabbing hold of it
and making it ours.”
Oregon is well-positioned to
be a player in the fledging industry, he says, with worldclass waves, a grid infrastructure up and down the coast and
a local research presence in the
Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center at Oregon State University.
The role of his organization,
Oregon Wave Energy Trust or
OWET, is to provide support for
companies to get their devices
into the water and develop their
technology.
“I’ve convinced myself that
ocean energy can be done and
done well,” Busch says.
“OWET’s mission is for responsible development of ocean energy.”
OSU Research
OSU, a national leader in
oceanography studies, deployed
its new $1.5 million Ocean Sentinel, a testing device for wave
energy, in August off Yaquina
Head on the Oregon Coast.
The goal is to provide a standardized, accurate system to
compare various wave energy
technologies, says Sean Moran,
ocean test facilities manager for
OSU’s marine research center.
“We’re looking to answer
some of the core questions for
this industry, from an unbiased
perspective,” Moran says.
“We’re not concerned with a
particular device. We’re testing
all sorts, and what are the impacts.”
Different devices may work
with different waves.
Among other research, the

M3 has plans for submerged
wave energy technology at
depths of 50 to 100 feet below
surface on the ocean floor, and
wants to position itself for future scale-up funding from the
U.S. Department of Energy and
private investors. Its device
would tap the variation in water
pressure from waves to inflate
and deflate airbags that turn a
turbine.
Moran believes that a 20-year
timeline is reasonable to figure
out how wave energy can be developed and utilized efficiently
— even with private companies
like Ocean Power Technologies
wanting to give it a try now.
“I think we’re 20 years behind wind,” Moran says. Generating electricity from waves has
to make financial sense, given
the low cost of natural gas, even
with the push toward renewable energy in place of burning
fossil fuels.
But there are many advantages of ocean energy.
“If we can do it cleanly, it’s
clean and renewable,” he says.
“A lot of sustainability elements
lead me to say that this is right
to pursue.”
The idea of wave energy has
been around for decades, but
ocean waters, including off Oregon’s coast, had not been
mapped for appropriate places
to do such things. Mapping has
been taking place for about
three years, Busch says, for the
development of the Territorial
Sea Plan. Soon, that will be
presented to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
and National Oceanographic
and Atmospheric Administration.
So is harnessing renewable
energy from the ocean the, er,
wave of the future?
“We’ll see,” Busch says. “We
know states have renewable
portfolio standards. They want
renewables to come on line.
Can it compete with solar? Yeah. With wind? Not yet. But
then again (wind) couldn’t compete 10 to 15 years, and it was
on par with natural gas until
natural gas plummeted in
price.”

School nabs state’s
first Green Flag
Students, mentor
transform Rieke’s
environmental ethic
By DREW DAKESSIAN
Pamplin Media Group
Rieke Elementary School
in Southwest Portland has
long prided itself for being a
green school.
Now it’s got the national cred
to prove it.
On Sept. 7, Rieke became Oregon’s first school to receive a
coveted Green Flag Award, the
highest honor of the National
Wildlife Federation’s EcoSchools USA Program.
“The commitment of the
school, the teachers and the
staff, the principal ... there’s dedication here that is unique,” said
Courtney Sullivan of the National Wildlife Federation, presenting the Green Flag at a school
assembly to students in Rieke’s
EcoThink Club.
Credit goes to the club members and to Jamie Repasky, a
mother of two Rieke students
who volunteers as the EcoThink
coordinator.
One project was to gather all
the food waste generated in one
day. It turned out to be what Repasky called “kindergartensized” — 40 pounds’ worth.
“The kids were just livid
about it,” Repasky says. “They
were just like, there is an apple
with one bite; how can you do
this?”
The exercise taught the students to take only the food they
plan to eat during lunch. Eventually, they convinced the district
to outfit the cafeteria with napkin dispensers and optional
forks and spoons, instead of distributing individual packets featuring a spork, napkin and straw
to each student.
While studying biodiversity,
Rieke students planted a different tree for every class at the
school.
Students showed a passion
and curiosity that many adults
could use, Repasky says. “In
their minds, you can do anything.”
Much like the youngsters in
the EcoThink Club, Repasky
was inspired by an older mentor,
Jeanne Roy, who leads the Agent
of Change program designed to
encourage participants like Repasky to become environmental
leaders.
“Jamie Repasky has been a
dynamo in transforming the operations and eco-awareness of
Mary Rieke School,” Roy says.
A hallmark of the Eco-Schools
USA program is its 11 pathways
to sustainability: energy, water,
climate change, global dimensions, transportation, school
grounds, consumption and
waste, healthy living, healthy
schools, biodiversity and
food. Rieke concentrated on energy, biodiversity and consumption and waste.
To earn the coveted Green
Flag, a school must:
n establish an Eco-Action
Team
n conduct an environmental
audit
n develop an Eco-Action Plan
based on audit results
n link the Eco-Schools program into the school’s curriculum and engage other students
n involve the community
n create an Eco-Code stating
the school’s environmental values
n provide school staff with
professional development on
best practices in environmental
education
n provide cost-benefit analysis for each project
Sullivan says younger kids often can connect with environmental improvements on a deeper level.
“They’re still fascinated by
bugs and by dirt,” she says.
“That means that their heart is
open to just have a sense of wonder and exploration ... or to
care.”
It’s getting easier for Oregon
schools to go green now, since
Eco-Schools USA partnered
with Oregon Green Schools, a
nonprofit that helps schools
with waste reduction and resource efficiency programs.
“Now, when a school signs up
to be with either of our programs, they’ll be enrolling in
both programs,” Sullivan says.
Though Portland Public
Schools seems perpetually
strapped for money, going green
can help.
“Recycling, composting, just
starting to teach the students
about reducing their waste, all
these can be really easy steps
and they cost no money to start,
but they instantly save the
school money,” Sullivan says.
There’s also long-term payoffs.
“Working with students is the
best way to create lifelong environmental stewards.”

bond doesn’t pass, those “ed
specs” will be saved for future
use.
The group will spend six
months on the work, discussing
the physical characteristics of
the buildings as well as options
for LEED certification.
Owens says the thinking
about the silver ranking is that it
isn’t the bottom tier and yet it’s
not as expensive as gold. “We’re
not trying to do something at the
very top because of cost,” he
says.
No matter what label it’s given, sustainable design and energy-efficient features will still
play a major role in what Owens
calls the “life cycle” of the school
building projects — from planning and design to construction
and maintenance for at least 80
years, or as long as the buildings
are in use.
“What’s important about applying sustainable concepts is its
contribution to a modern learning environment,” Owens says.
New school, lower test scores
When it comes to building design, many have wondered
about a building’s impact on student learning.
PPS leaders and bond campaign volunteers say there have
been numerous studies to show
the benefits of better lighting,
better equipment, better air
flow and smarter design.
No one, however, has used
Rosa Parks as a case study. Perhaps that’s because in the past
six years since the building was
finished, the school’s progress
as measured by test scores
doesn’t show any improvement
— in fact it’s gone in the opposite direction.
To be sure, test scores are
hardly a full picture of a school’s
progress. Many times they’re
misleading: the federal government has raised the bar for
achievement each year, making
it impossible for schools to
catch up.
That said, there’s been a drastic drop in test scores between
2006 — Rosa Parks’ first year of
existence — and last year.

ing.”
Eternitrees is an uplifting
way of looking at a rather maudlin subject. Instead of leaving
loved ones alone in a cemetery
plot, their cremated remains
help produce a living memorial
that represents their vibrancy
in life and keeps them present in
our lives.
Hammerling, 51, is a soft-spoken, gentle soul who under-
stands the process of death and
mourning. He left his post as a
cemeterian at Gresham’s Forest
Lawn Cemetery in August to
market his patented burial urns
full-time.
Hammerling began exploring
an alternative disposition method after witnessing the emotional turmoil families endure when
burying a loved one. He wanted
to provide a more peaceful option that also would yield a gift
to the planet.

The metal container, Hammerling says,

such as photographs or other
meaningful keepsakes.
Eternitrees are meant to be
shared, Hammerling says, pointing out that one urn is not large
enough to contain the entire cremated remains of a loved one.
With family members often
separated by distance, each person can purchase his or her own
urn and create a living memorial.
“The containers are airport
approved,” Hammerling says. “If
grandma was from England originally, how wonderful would it be
to take her home?”
At one with the squirrels
Those who have buried a family member can be shocked by
the expense of a traditional burial. It could cost $4,500 to bury
people at the cemetery, he says,
and that’s without a grave marker.
“Cremation can cost $2,000,”
he says, “and that’s for the plot
and urn. All you’re left with is a
name on a wall or a marker.
Wouldn’t it be more comforting
to watch a growing tree that
brings you memories of your
loved one?”
The Eternitrees option requires direct cremation, which
Hammerling says can cost about
$1,000. The urn, growth mixture
and commemorative container
cost less than $80 and can be
shipped anywhere.
Hammerling has compiled a
descriptive list of the trees guaranteed to grow with his patented mixture. He details each
tree’s characteristics and links
them with the personality traits
that would apply to a loved one.
It’s legal to plant the trees anywhere, but permission to use the
property should be secured first.
There are 16 varieties of living memorials to choose from,
ranging from oaks and corals to
ponderosa pines and sugar maples. People can even plant them
in their backyard.
Eternitrees thus provides an
affordable burial option, and one
that enables a departed friend
or relative to become a gift to
nature.

Environmental benefits
Regardless of their size,
ADUs are generally more environmentally friendly than a
new home built in a traditional
subdivision. They require no
new land, less building materials and energy usage. They
help Portland and the metro
area meet population growth
needs without developing farm
land. Putting those residents in
existing neighborhoods reduc-
es sprawl and vehicle miles
traveled, easing road congestion.
Quade says the new ADUs
built since the fee waiver are
just the beginning. People are
“starting to come around” to
the idea of living in smaller
spaces, he says, some by economic necessity and some to
save resources. But it takes
time to change people’s thinking and willingness to live with
less belongings, he says.

land City Council to extend the
systems development charge
waiver before it expires. He
hopes to establish a small “factory,” building units just like his
for use anywhere in the state.
Spevak, who specializes in
smaller infill developments,
says the increase in ADUs has
been well-received in Portland,
in contrast to neighborhoods
where residents openly oppose
“skinny homes” or huge McMansions that dominate lots.
ADUs are “discreet by definition,” Spevak says. “They’re not
the kind of things neighbors get
upset about.”
Though he’d welcome a move
by the City Council to extend
the fee waiver, Spevak understands there are concerns
among the city parks, water,
sewer and transportation bureaus about lost revenue from
new construction.
Spevak suggests the city
adopt development charges
based on a home’s square footage. Before the fee waiver, the
city levied the same development charges for a 3,000-squarefoot home and a 500-square-foot
ADU.
Mayor Sam Adams and City
Commissioner Randy Leonard,
who championed the fee waiver,
won’t be on the City Council
when it expires. Commissioner
Nick Fish, who will be on next
year’s council, notes that the
city’s policy is to have new development “pay for itself,” and
not burden the rest of the city to
cover the costs of new public
facilities needed. However, the
benefits from the fee waiver are
“pretty clear,” Fish says. “We’re
seeing more ADUs built to code.
“I’m inclined to continue this
program.”

Paint recycling
Portland-based Miller Paint
agreed to purchase 50,000 gallons of recycled MetroPaint by
2017. Metro sold nearly $1 million worth of its recycled paint
in the last fiscal year, with
Miller buying one-fourth of it.
Locally, paint recycling got
a higher profile after Metro
began collecting unused paint
and remixing it into its own
blends for resale.
The idea went statewide in
2010, when the paint industry
launched a stewardship program funded by a surcharge
on paint sales.
PaintCare Inc., a nonprofit
established by the paint industry, collected 83,122 gallons of
unused paint in the Portland
metro area during the past
year. The program is being expanded into California, Connecticut and Rhode Island in
the next two years.

Gresham: A Green and Efficient City
The City of Gresham is successfully identifying waste
reduction opportunities while practicing sustainability.
Being green and efficient goes hand-in-hand. Smart
practices ensure the public’s resources can be preserved
for future generations and new efficiencies strengthen
resiliency to rising costs in energy, fuel and water rates.
Road Recycling
Gresham took recycling to the
next level when it reconstructed
N.E. 162nd Avenue. The green
reconstruction process called

the existing, worn-out asphalt
of the roadway and uses it to
build a new surface. The cost of
recycling road materials is about
25-50% less than traditional
