At the urging of Mayor Charlie Hales, city commissioners will take testimony next week on a proposal to permit short-term rentals in multifamily properties, if the tenant has the signed approval of the landlord, or a condo owner or tenant has the OK from their homeowners association. No more than 10 percent of the units of a multifamily complex could get permits under Hales’ proposal. “When it became clear that there were lots and lots of multifamily listings in Portland, the mayor and others on the City Council said our policy no longer reflects reality,” says Hales What’s next? The Portland City Council will take testimony on Mayor Charlie Hales’ proposal to legalize short-term rentals in apartments and condos. A public hearing is slated for 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, at City Hall. spokesman Dana Haynes. “We probably ought to have a policy that reflects it.” Airbnb estimates it has 1,600 Portland hosts opening up their homes, apartments and condos to short-term renters staying less than 30 days at a time. Those were all illegal until the City Council passed an ordinance in July that allowed residents of single-family homes, houseboats and duplexes to seek permits. Now several hundred more hosts might become legal if the City Council adopts Hales’ proposal for multifamily properties. City permits for single-family homes cost $178 and require a cursory inspection to make sure the homes are equipped with good smoke alarms and the bedrooms are legal accommodations. Though Airbnb lobbied the city to pass the ordinance and institute the permit system, most of its local hosts are ignoring the new ordinance. Roughly two months after the ordinance took effect Aug. 1, less than 10 percent of the single-family hosts had bothered to apply for permits to become legal. Permit applications under Hales’ proposal for condos and apartments would be only $100, and no city inspections would be required. Tenants or condo dwellers would merely have to certify that their units have proper smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Still, it’s unclear how many multifamily Airbnb hosts will See AIRBNB / Page 10 Portland Tribune Inside STORY BY PETER KORN PHOTOS BY Finding the precise spot for a deep brain implant is one of the trickier elements of the surgery. Here, physician Kim Burchiel probes a patient’s brain with electrodes. L.E. BASKOW I n 1990, Oregon Health & Science University neurosurgeon Kim Burchiel pioneered the use of a technique called Deep Brain Stimulation in the United States as a last chance therapy for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Burchiel implanted a thin electrical wire into the brains of Parkinson’s patients who had lost much of their ability to control their bodies and for whom therapeutic drugs no longer worked. By hitting just the right spot in the brain with 180 electrical impulses a second sent from a battery pack im- planted near the patient’s shoulder, Burchiel was able to help his Parkinson’s patients regain motor control, some for five or more hours a day. “This is a success story,” Burchiel says. “It’s a rare procedure in surgery that has proved to the highest level of evidence. There are very few procedures that are proven to this level.” Throughout the world today, more than 100,000 people afflicted with Parkinson’s and similar movement disorders have received brain implants, about one-tenth the number who might benefit, according to Burchiel. But the idea of hitting tiny targets in the brain as a means of overriding misfiring neurological circuits created intriguing possibilities for neurosurgeons everywhere.

OWNER & NEIGHBOR A2 NEWS The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 13, 2014 Brain: Resistance to psychosurgery stalls trials ■ From page 1 As scientists have begun mapping the brain, experiments using brain implants for people suffering from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, obesity, addiction and Alzheimer’s disease have begun to proliferate. But for the last 24 years, Burchiel, the pioneer, was forced to watch as scientists in other states and countries pursued new uses for brain implants. An obscure Oregon statute enacted in 1973, in reaction to the mind-control horrors detailed in Ken Kesey’s Oregonbased novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” restricted the use of brain surgery here. Burchiel wanted to join other neurosurgeons across the country in experimenting with brain implants for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but couldn’t get approval from the state medical board. “People are so paranoid about the idea of psychosurgery,” Burchiel says. “It was like a third rail. They wouldn’t touch it.” In 2013, Burchiel finally convinced the medical board that brain implantation was not the psychosurgery of “Cuckoo’s Nest” fears. No brain matter is removed, or even changed. Take the implant out and the brain is as it always was. Yet Burchiel remains very much aware that a green light from the medical board does not dispel public squeamishness about the idea of planting electrodes in brains, and that the moral and ethical questions that kept him from pur- suing his research now are going to become more, not less, prominent. Northeast Portland resident Robert O’Neal was diagnosed with Parkinson’s five years ago, but he’d known something was wrong with his body for awhile before that. When his right hand began to tremor uncontrollably, a neurologist delivered the news, explaining that Parkinson’s is a progressive disease that would slowly rob him of motor control and energy and for which there is no cure. Five years of medication has helped slow the progression of the disease, but brought with it a common side effect, what O’Neal calls “mental fogginess.” As time has passed, he has had to increase the dosage of drugs that increasingly aren’t working as well. O’Neal, 67, has been told a brain implant might significantly help him regain motor functions and eliminate the mental fogginess. Still, he says he’s inclined to put off his decision. “It’s kind of a scary deal,” O’Neal says. “Electrodes in your brain, nickel-sized holes in your skull. They talk about one of the downfalls can be infection, and infection in the brain doesn’t sound good.” Hope for other disorders While OHSU’s Burchiel is just beginning to look at using deep brain stimulation for maladies beyond movement disorders such as Parkinson’s, during the past 15 years Emory University neurologist Helen Mayberg has experimented with implants to help patients suffering from depression. Depression is a much more complicated disease than Parkinson’s, not only because it involves a psychological component, but also because it appears to involve numerous areas of the brain. Yet stimulating one tiny spot in the brain volved in depression, from cognition and motivation to sleep and libido. Depressed patients who improved after taking medication showed decreased activity in Area 25. Mayberg’s work has its detractors.

The U.S. Department of Defense announced a year ago that it will invest more than $70 million to find deep brain targets that might be involved in aggression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Ohio State neurosurgeons also are experimenting with deep brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Rezai says he’s excited about the work being done using implants with obesity and addiction as well. Yes, Rezai says, there is a fear factor involved with opening up the brain, but he says initially, the same reluctance greeted heart pacemakers when they were introduced 50 years ago. Today, more than 3 million people have pacemakers helping their hearts beat consistently. In fact, some neurosurgeons call brain implants pacemakers for the brain. “Fundamentally, the era of brain implants is here to stay,” Rezai says. Impulse to resist implants Using brain implants to treat diseases such as depression, Alzheimer’s and addiction gets to the heart of the reason Oregon limited the use of deep brain stimulation for so many years — fear of mind control. Specifically, the Oregon statute limited the use of any form of psychosurgery “for the primary purpose of altering the thoughts, emotions or behavior of a human being.” Those sorts of limitations See IMPLANT / Page 3 Surgery while patient sleeps reduces risk By PETER KORN The Tribune One of the weirder aspects of deep brain stimulation is that, traditionally, the surgery tak es place while the patient is awak e. Surgeons use thin wire electrodes to touch as many as five spots in the brain trying to find the precise target for their implant. One millimeter off and the implant may be useless, or worse. B y having the patient awak e, the surgeons can monitor the patient’s response as they touch different targets. But that technique often keeps the patient in surgery up to six hours.

In a year of election upsets from coast to coast, not a single federal or statewide incumbent in Oregon was defeated in the primary or general election. And only two Republican incumbents in the state Senate may have lost their seats, Betsy Close of Albany and Bruce Starr of Hillsboro, who is slightly trailing Democratic challenger Chuck Riley at press time. The record is even more remarkable when you consider other elections in the Portland area. All of the incumbent Metro councilors were re-elected in May; so were all of the incumbent Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington county commissioners. And so were both of the incumbents on the Portland City Council. Of course, most of the incumbents were Democrats, and Oregon tends to favor Democrats. Still, all of the polls show that Oregon voters are just as disillusioned with politics as the rest of the country, where many incumbents were thrown out of office.

Implant: Lowers complications ■ From page 1 don’t apply to any of the medications used to treat people for psychiatric diseases such as depression. And that may be the product of an irrational, but very human, response to the idea of brain implants, says Erik Parens, a bioethicist at the New York-based Hastings Center and author of “Shaping Our Selves: On Technology, Flourishing and a Habit of Thinking.” Burchiel says his new surgical approach to brain implants (see sidebar) lowers the risk of complications to 1 percent or less. Parens says if that’s true, people might need to reconsider their resistance to brain implants. “Sticking an electrical pulse in the brain seems yuckier than sticking a capsule in the mouth, but in principle I can’t see the difference, assuming the side effect profiles are the same,” he says, noting that at present, brain implants are Using advanced imaging techniq ues, OHSU neurosurgeon Kim Burchiel implants electrodes while patients remain under an anesthetic. COURTESY OF JOHN VALLS only being used in patients for whom drugs already have been tried and have failed. Concerns about mind control or changing patients’ personalities are almost archaic in a world of freely dispensed Prozac, Parens says. “Pharmacology is a form of mind control, but mind control in the service of treating a psychiatric disorder,” he says. “All of these drugs are a form of changing our minds.” For his part, OHSU’s Bur- chiel is viewing the rush to try deep brain stimulation for a variety of psychiatric maladies with a little bit of distrust. “It’s sort of become this snowball,” he says. “People get overenthusiastic about technology that’s the next big thing.” Nevertheless, he’s enthusiastic about pushing forward with trials for new uses, even as he declines to say which diseases he’s looking at. He other states, where his candidates fared poorly. Of the seven U.S. Senate and governors’ races where the PAC spent money, only three Democrats won in mostly liberal states. And Steyer did even worse in Washington, where Steyer spent money in three legislative races to help the Democrats take control of the state Senate. They are all losing in unofficial results. says he’s hoping that within the next year or two his team will be announcing new technologies that will push brain implants beyond the “primitive” stage that he says is the status quo. Burchiel looks to the pacemaker model, where the most advanced devices don’t just send out the same signal at the same pace over and over. Instead, they are part of a feedback loop, the electrical impulses sent to the heart changing based on what is happening with the heart or breathing rate. As neuroscientists become better at decoding the brain’s signals, Burchiel says, deep brain stimulation will enter a truly modern age. “We don’t understand the message,” Burchiel says. “If you had that ability, we would have the next generation of neurostimulation, and we’d be able to do many things. That to me is the excitement factor.” Billionaire’s bucks a bust If both Betsy Close and Bruce Starr are defeated, their losses will represent two of the few victories for Tom Steyer, an environmental billionaire who spent at least $57 million of his own money to help Democrats in the election. Steyer’s PAC, NextGen Climate, gave $130,000 to the League of Conservation Voters for mailings against Close and Starr. He spent far more money on statewide elections in Ads failed to sway voters It’s going to be awhile before we learn how much money was really spent in the general election and where it came from. In the weeks leading up to Nov. 4, campaigns had to report contributions within a week of receiving them. That’s now switched back to a 30-day deadline, meaning the public won’t learn about last-minute contributions until next month, and contributions made after Election Day even later. Nevertheless, some of the most recently reported contributions are worth noting. For example, Gov. John Kitzhaber received a whopping $250,000 from the national gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety on Oct. 30. He also received an additional $10,000 from Nike that day, bring the company’s total contribution to $100,000. Meanwhile, Republican challenger Dennis Richardson has now reported receiving in-kind contributions totaling a measly $2,958.05 from the Republican Governors Association, suggesting even they never gave him much of a chance to win.

He recalls when his fifthgrade teacher suction-cupped a bird feeder on their classroom window. “The other kids in my class thought birds were pretty dumb,” Strycker says. But he was hooked. “You never know where that spark will come from,” he says. He’s been able to make a fulltime living of his pursuits, funding most of his traveling through the National Science Foundation and other agencies. In Antarctica, he worked as a seasonal guide on an expedition cruise ship. He now earns an income through his writing, speaking, expeditions and other birdrelated projects. In addition to his literary work — as associate editor of Birding magazine and contributor to about a dozen different bird-related publications — he is a fivetime marathoner and completed the entire Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada in four months in 2011. There’s a reason, Stycker and other artists say, that they are driven to put a bird on it. “I think that, by studying birds, we also study ourselves,” says Strycker, who lives in Creswell, just outside of Eugene. “Directly, there are many parallels between bird and human behavior (perhaps more than we like to admit). More than that, for me, birds are an entry point to the outdoors and all kinds of adventures.

According to the statement, the DA’s office reviewed 21 open marijuana cases “associated with the conduct alleged will be decriminalized as of July 1, 2015 when the measure becomes law.” Of the 21, 18 cases were violations, “the equivalent of a traffic ticket,” according to the statement. The remaining three were charged as crimes. Warrants had been issued for 29 similar cases, all of which will be dropped, according to the office. “Because it is clear that a significant majority of voters in Multnomah County support the legalization of marijuana in certain amounts, this office will dismiss the pending charges related to conduct which will otherwise become legal July 1, 2015,” according to the statement. “Any remaining charges not impacted by Ballot Measure 91 will be prosecuted.” NEWS A5 The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 13, 2014 Metro panels spar over contents of Toolbox Officials from outlying cities question climate change action plan By JIM REDDEN The Tribune Metro wants all cities in the region to think and look like Portland. That’s apparently what some elected officials outside Portland think. A number of them questioned a list of proposals for fighting climate change at a recent Metro meeting. Many of the proposals already have been adopted in Portland, and the officials wanted to be sure they were not going to be required to adopt them, too. The proposals are included in what is called the Draft Toolbox of Possible Actions to enact the Climate Smart Communities Strategy. Metro is scheduled to finalize the strategy and present it to the state in December. Two Metro advisory committees, including the suburban officials, met last Friday to review and discuss the most recent version. The ordinance to be approved by the Metro Council includes references to the so-called Toolbox, which is a separate eightpage document listing hundreds of “possible actions” by the state, Metro, cities, counties and special districts to reduce motor vehicle emissions. Metro attorney Roger Alfred repeatedly said the actions were recommendations, not mandatory. That did not reassure Hillsboro Mayor Jerry Willey and some of the other committee members, however. They recommended taking all references to the Toolbox out of the ordinance and considering it as a separate resolution, which does not carry as much legal weight. Wilsonville Mayor Tim Knapp said he wanted to be sure his city could pick and choose among the actions, and also would be free to adopt policies not included in the Toolbox. Knapp said he did not even understand some of the listed actions, such as “adopting shared and unbundled parking priorities.” Alfred finally promised to rewrite the ordinance to make it even more clear the cities will not be required to adopt everything in the Toolbox. It’s easy to understand the confusion. Most of the listed actions are very specific, and many of them read like plans and policies already adopted by Portland, like the Bicycle Plan for 2030 and the Green Street Program. Others sound like part of the draft Comprehensive Plan update that is currently working its way to the City Council for approval in the new year, such as focusing growth in designated centers and corridors. Even such controversial Portland policies as reducing requirements for offstreet parking are listed in the Toolbox. Metro staffers explaining the ordinance didn’t help their cause when Knapp said it could require all cities to adopt new climate change action plans. “Portland and Multnomah County already have,” one of them responded. After Alfred promised to rewrite the ordinance, most of those at the meeting said they could support the strategy. Hitting the target The Climate Smart Communities Strategy is the result of a requirement approved by the 2009 Oregon Legislature for Metro to develop a regional plan to reduce emissions from personal motor vehicles by 20 percent by 2035. Extensive research by Metro staff concludes this goal can be met if all the governments in the region enact growth plans they have been developing over the past few years that call for higher-density development and more transit. But the current version of the strategy is far more ambitious than that. “The draft Climate Smart Action Strategy does more than just meet the target. It supports many other local, regional and state plans and goals, including clean air and water, transportation choices, healthy and equitable communities, and a strong regional economy,” reads the introduction to the Toolbox. Among other things, the Toolbox calls for support for reauthorizing the Oregon Brownfield Redevelopment Fund, reauthorizing the Oregon Clean Fuels Program, implementing the Statewide Transportation Strategic Vision, updating the Oregon Public Transportation Plan, adopting an Oregon bicycle and pedestrian plan, adopting Vision Zero strategies to eliminate traffic fatalities, and signing the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. The strategy does not estimate how much all of these steps will cost or exactly where the additional money will be found to pay for them. It does suggest possible sources of more revenue, however, including a tax on carbon-based fuels, higher state gas taxes, and a mileage-based road charge. The two committees that met Friday are the Metro Policy Advisory Committee and the Joint Policy Committee on Transportation. They will meet separately to review and vote on the revised ordinance and related documents. The Metro Council will consider them in December.

The audience was j ubilant as its slate of candidates won more than 60 percent of the vote and the comprehensive plan was slammed with around 70 percent “no” votes. TRIBUNE PHOTO: SHASTA KEARNS MOORE Election might spell Damascus’ final fight DAMASCUS Pro-disincorporation candidates sweep; land-use plan blocked By SHASTA KEARNS MOORE The Tribune You might call it the “only in Damascus” election. Only in Damascus could a mayor be elected on a platform of dismantling the city. Only in Damascus could a state-required land-use plan six years past due fail again and by an overwhelming margin. Only in Damascus could citizens feel such jubilant relief at the results of a small, local election. “We won! We won! This time we won!” That was Damascus’ new mayor Diana Helm after her 64 percent initial result was announced at the “Liberation of Damascus” party hosted by activist Jim Syring. The crowd celebrated Helm’s 63 percent victory over current Councilor Bill Wehr, as well as those of her coalition of councilors. David Hadley won 64.1 percent of the vote over Doug Walker and Nancy Robbins Carpenter won 63.3 percent over Pat Higgins. The comprehensive land-use plan, the product of years of political wrangling, failed more than 2-to-1 against. Syring, who hosted the election night party, is the leader of Citizens for Secession from Damascus, a group of property owners being sued by the city for their state-sanctioned attempts to transfer into Happy Valley. “I wouldn’t mind being part of Happy Valley. It’s a great city,” said Helm, who says she will disincorporate the city if that’s what its citizens want or allow adjoining cities to annex it piece by piece. She doesn’t have high hopes that a comprehensive land-use plan will ever pass in Damascus. One is on the ballot in March, but requires a super-majority of voters to turn out. “They’ve been frightened for so long (of development), that how do you unfrighten them?” Mayor Steve Spinnett said he was disappointed at the results but didn’t take it personally. “I think that the community out here has been through so much in the last 10 years, and I think they’re just saying no,” Spinnett said. “I think they’re done with the city, done with the comp plan. They’re just done. “I kinda knew that,” he added, “but as a mayor, you want to make it all work and it didn’t.” Spinnett added that he holds no ill will toward his opposition and will support the “citizens’ plan” comprehensive plan in March. “I truly hope that they’ll have success in their endeavors,” he said. Spinnett said his perspective has shifted from an activist, who tears down, to a legislator, who builds up. “I want to help be a builder,” he said. “If that’s towards people with a different perspective, so be it.” What does it mean for the region? Metro Councilor Shirley Craddick, whose district includes Damascus, says the vote reflects how difficult it is to start a new city in an area primed for growth. “Creating the governance, infrastructure and market needed to move forward can be done, but the City Council needs to work together and the community needs to be engaged in a positive way,” Craddick said in an email. She added that disincorporation of the fledgling city would have repercussions throughout the Portland region. “Damascus residents would have fewer options about the future,” Craddick wrote. “Other cities in the Portland metro region would need to accommodate the people who otherwise might choose to live in Damascus. Fortunately, there are cities in the Portland metro region that are hungry to grow their communities in ways that maintain our great quality of life.” { INSIGHT } A6 INSIGHT The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 13, 2014 D on’t let transp ortation p lans run out of gas T he Oregon Legislature is losing a key transportation advocate, but that doesn’t alter the need for this state to improve its roads, highways, bridges and other means of moving people and goods around. The legislative path to such meaningful upgrades to Oregon’s transportation system did get a little trickier last week with the defeat of state Sen. Bruce Starr. The Washington County Republican has been a strong voice for transportation who worked well with Democrats and members of his own party to fashion transportation packages in the past. He very narrowly lost his re-election bid to former state Rep. Chuck Riley. Starr’s defeat came after a California billionaire targeted him after Starr opposed moving forward with a low carbon fuel program that otherwise would sunset in 2015. With the defeat of Starr and fellow Republican Sen. Betsy Close, Democrats now have an 18-12 majority in the state Senate and they also gained OUROPINION Portland Tribune FOUNDER Dr. Robert B.

Presumably, they have the votes to extend the deadline for the carbon fuels standards, which were approved by the 2009 Legislature but never implemented. Less clear, though, is what a Democratic-controlled Legislature will see as essential components of a transportation-funding package that’s been expected to emerge from the 2015 legislative session. If Starr had remained part of a more closely divided Senate, we would be confident in anticipating a transportation bill that was balanced between roads, highways, transit, bicycles and pedestrians. Starr also would have been an influential and credible voice for the need to raise money to pay for these transportation projects. After his defeat, transportation supporters now must work hard to ensure that legislators don’t tilt too far away from traditional infrastructure — roads, bridges and highways. We aren’t arguing that transit users, bicyclists and pedestrians don’t also need improved facilities, but the SPORTS EDITOR Steve Brandon SPORTSWRITERS can provide a good starting point for legislators. Funding ideas include indexing the gas tax to increases in the fuel efficiency of cars. This is viewed as a stopgap measure, as it still would not affect electric cars or truck taxes. The forum also is recommending an unspecified general increase in the gas tax to address highway maintenance, preservation and modernization. The group further suggests use of state general fund dollars and lottery funds for specific transportation needs. The Oregon Transportation Forum’s recommendations provide a rough outline for a legislative package and various groups will seek to improve upon those recommendations, based on their own particular transportation needs. However, no one can argue with the forum’s stated goals: to put Oregonians to work, reduce costly traffic congestion, protect environmental quality and improve health and safety. Those are outcomes that — no matter who is in the Legislature — ought to be supported by all. READERS’LETTERS City’s ramrod efforts disrespect citizens T he citizen grassroots effort to give Portlanders a vote on the new tax before it is ever implemented is NoStreetFee.com (Hearing set for latest street fee proposal, Nov. 6). It is disrespectful of Mayor Charlie Hales and city Commissioner Steve Novick to bypass Portland citizens in enacting a new tax of this significance. The Portland way is to refer such taxes for citizen approval. Citizens just approved the parks levy and the Portland Public Schools levy and routinely approve other council tax ordinances. Now Hales and Novick come along and say just give us the money, no matter citizens’ need to balance the needs of the community with their own personal finances. How does this not deteriorate a sense of community? And just after the city auditor reports citizens are disenfranchised by a City Hall running roughshod over real public processes. Bob Clark Southeast Portland FEATURES WRITER Jason Vondersmith majority of commerce — not to mention commuting — still depends on an up-to-date road system. The crucial concept is balance, and legislators should make sure the next transportation package addresses all modes. Lawmakers also need to tie transportation funding to more sustainable sources of revenue. As cars become evermore fuel efficient, proceeds from the state’s 30-cent-pergallon gas tax will not keep pace with current and future needs. Oregon is experimenting with a vehicle miles tax as an alternative, but so far, participation in that program will be limited to 5,000 volunteer drivers. In advance of the 2015 legislative session, a group called the Oregon Transportation Forum has been meeting to form a consensus around a transportation funding and policy package. Among others, this group includes advocates for driving, biking, transit and freight movement. Its daunting goal was to develop a package that everyone could support. The end result of those discussions ‘Kitz’ will do just fine during final term You just wrote that “Gov. John Kitzhaber will start an unprecedented fourth term as perhaps the lamest of lame ducks in state history” (Voters should demand better choices, editorial, Nov. 6). Well, that’s politically naive or partisan fantasy nonsense. John Kitzhaber has been toiling in the political fields for many decades with IOUs and connections in abundance. He knows the political territory better than any Oregonian. The Oregon Legislature just increased its Democratic majority in both the House and Senate.

Dave Lister Tigard Keep access to Web content equal for all MYVIEW By C and ice W atk ins and R on W y d en T he governing principle of the Internet to date has been net neutrality — bits are bits, and Internet service providers should not prioritize content delivery based on ability to pay. Net neutrality ensures that all Internet users can seek out and find information from all points of view without discrimination. It has generated substantial benefits for consumers, entrepreneurs and the users at every one of Oregon’s more than 120 public libraries, as well as hundreds more school and college libraries. As the president of the Oregon Library Association and as Oregon’s senior U.S. senator, we share the view that the Internet must remain neutral if it is to continue to support freedom of speech, open new educational frontiers, and spur economic growth. That is why industry schemes to create pay-to-play Internet fast lanes have librarians and lawmakers alike sounding the alarm. Internet providers want to charge an extra fee to content providers to move their information at the fastest speeds. They call this scheme “paid prioritization.” In other words, if you can’t afford to pay up, your data will be relegated to the slow lane. This means that startups, which sometimes get their start at public libraries, won’t be able to compete on the same terms as companies that can afford access to the fast lane. Here are some other ways that paid prioritization harms Internet users. First, content providers who pay a fast lane surcharge are likely to pass the cost on to their subscribers. This will be a financial burden for public libraries, which according to statistics provided by the Oregon State Library, provide Internet access to thousands of Oregonians every year. Ultimately, it undermines our best ef- forts to ensure that all Americans have equal access to the information and opportunities created by the Internet economy. Second, materials such as ebooks, digital music and research databases that Oregon libraries provide to the general public will be delivered at slower speeds. Libraries can’t afford to spend more tax dollars to pay Internet providers for fast-lane delivery, which means the materials they make available to serve the public interest will be harder to access than commercially developed content. Paid prioritization would make the Internet a pay-to-play field, and everyone who can’t pay will end up losing. So who are the people that get hurt? All those with modest incomes who are using a library Internet connection to research job opportunities or start new businesses. All the high school or college students who are using library-provided research materials for homework projects. The bottom line is that all Oregonians, regardless of income, should be able to access high-quality, online information at the same speed and not face painfully slow service. Rural Oregon is especially dependent on libraries for reliable and accessible Internet connections. According to data provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, 40 percent of Oregon’s libraries are in rural areas. Providing equal Internet access to Oregonians, wherever they live, is vital to local economies and community development. For example, the Hood River County Library District recently upgraded its Internet connection to a fast 100 megabites per second. That investment, however, would lose its value if significant portions of the Web are slowed. And that’s just one example among many at Oregon public libraries that thousands of Oregonians use each year. All the good work that libraries are doing to provide highspeed Internet access and trustworthy information to Oregonians could crumble if the FCC allows Internet broadband access providers to segment the Internet according to ability to pay. This is a critical time in the fight for net neutrality. The Federal Communications Commission is writing new rules right now that will decide the fate of the open Internet. It is more important than ever for the public to let the FCC know that Oregonians won’t stand for an Internet that is split between haves and have nots. Net neutrality levels the playing field and allows everyone equal access to the flow of information on the Internet. That’s why we’re asking you to join us in fighting to preserve a level playing field online.

NEWS A7 The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 13, 2014 Compromise will be needed to guide Damascus MYVIEW Shirley Craddick W hen I drive through Damascus on my way to the office or a meeting, I can’t help but think of one word: Potential. Amid the beautiful valleys and buttes, Damascus has the potential to be a spectacular city, where new development and natural beauty go hand-in-hand. It’s no wonder the residents of Damascus, in my Metro Council district, are so passionate about their nuanced visions of their community’s future. The potential of Damascus is exactly why Oregon law requires cities to prepare comprehensive plans. Unplanned development flies in the face of our Oregon traditions and values. The people of Damascus prefer Oregon’s values over the values of Orange County in southern California. By setting a long-term vision, communities can make sure their values are in charge of housing, land use, recreation and the roads, water lines, schools and other public services that make cities work. Developers still get to turn a profit, people still get to find homes, but all of that is shaped by what the community wants. It’s been a decade since Damascus incorporated, and after another unsuccessful attempt, in last week’s general election, the city doesn’t have a comprehensive plan. Because we all benefit when our region works together to plan growth, nothing significant is going to happen until Damascus has a comprehensive plan. Building a city without a comprehensive plan would be like buying your house’s blinds before you know where you’re putting the windows, and how big those windows will be. There are many reasons why the latest plan was defeated — all coming back to how the community has many visions about its future. It’s time for leaders on all sides to compromise on a vision that can pass muster with the voters. They’re doing a disservice to property owners and to current and future residents by continuing to pitch untenable plans. The urban growth boundary expansion in Damascus wasn’t ideal. The Metro Council essentially was forced to expand to the area by an old state law that required expansions to take place in areas that had PAMPLIN MEDIA GROUP FILE PHOTO Damascus Mayor Steve Spinnett walked past protesters shouting “Free our city! Free our city! ” on his way to an Oct. 20 City Council meeting. A comprehensive land-use plan for the town was defeated in the Nov. 4 general election, amid a struggle for its future, and the future of Portland-area growth. the least potential for farming and forestry — places like Damascus. Metro and its partners worked together with the state Legislature to improve the old law. While we’re still working to protect farm and forestland, we now have the flexibility to use other areas for urban growth boundary expansions — when they’re necessary. Metro also changed its own policies. Moving forward, the Metro Council made it clear that cities and counties that want UGB expansions would first need a plan to govern the expanded area, and an idea of how to serve it with the roads, bridges, schools and other quality of life essentials. Nobody wants another Damascus, where local residents spend more than a decade developing governance before many homes can be built. Surely, our local government partners agree with that premise — a UGB expansion should lead to dirt being turned as quickly as possible. Even in areas with established governance, development can be challenging. For example, a recent study estimated that it will cost $ 250 million just to build the roads for a UGB expansion near Hillsboro. That expense of growing outward is one of the key reasons that from 1998-2012, 94 percent of new homes in the Portland region were built in areas in the original 1979 urban growth boundary. Some communities in our region are actively seeking new growth and change; others are largely happy with the way things are. But bringing their plans together, along with hear- ing the preferences of residents, helps us understand where the region is headed, and what it might need to get there. As Damascus demonstrates, there’s often a big gap between raw land and ready land. It complicates our choice, but it also informs it. Looking to more land to solve all our needs is a risky strategy. Trying to bring it all inside the urban growth boundary also creates challenges. But no matter what choice we make, we as a region — and each of us in our own communities — need to ask: What can we do to make available land ready for development? It’s why the Metro Council will be thinking carefully about any requests that come up for an urban growth boundary expansion in 2015. The region’s residents, today and tomorrow, expect something better than what’s happened in Damascus. Damascus voters need to make their city functional. It’s time for the city to do whatever it takes to adopt a comprehensive plan, and to find positive ways to discuss its future. Nobody will get everything they want, but if the people of Damascus can find general agreement on aspirations and goals and what they want their community to look like in 20 years, we can finally get the ball rolling on realizing that city’s long-awaited potential.

Remembrances may be made to Young Life of Oregon/ Big Vision at 13635 NW Cornell Rd., Ste. 200 Portland, OR, 97229-5887 Frances Louise (Habig) Davis of Wilsonville, Ore., passed away peacefully in her sleep on Nov. 5, 2014. She was 78 years old and 100 percent Southern Belle. Fran was born in Jackson, Miss. on Feb. 24, 1936. Her parents were Paul M. Habig and Bessie Brent Habig, and her brother was Paul M. Habig, Jr., all of whom have predeceased her. Fran graduated from Central High School in Jackson, Miss. in 1954 and attended Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus, Miss. She was a member of the Lockhearts at the “W.” During her sophomore year, she appeared on the cover of “Dixie Magazine” in 1955, and the following spring, she was runner-up in the 1956 Maid of Cotton Pageant held in Memphis, Tenn. On June 2, 1956, Fran married Arthur Davis in Jackson, Miss. and they soon moved to Pittsburgh, Pa. for Art’s rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After injuries abruptly ended his NFL career, they entered college coaching, living in Baton Rouge, La., (LSU), Atlanta, Ga., (Georgia Tech), and finished their coaching travels in Austin, Texas (University of Texas) with the 1963 National Champion Texas Longhorns. Moving to Cleveland, Miss. in 1964, Fran was a dedicated mother, helping to raise their two children, Diane and Doug. In 1971, the family moved to Starkville, Miss., where Fran became an interior decorator and eventually opened her own store, Magnolia’s. In 1983, Fran and Art moved to Clarksdale, Miss., where she continued to help families with their home and office decorating needs while enjoying many friendships across the state. In 2001, after Art’s retirement, they moved to Oregon to be close to Doug and his wife, Jennifer, and to watch their second set of grandchildren, Emma and Eli, grow up. Throughout Fran’s life, she was quick to make friends and family feel extra special with grace, charm and humor. She cherished sharing descriptive memories of her happy childhood. She loved to laugh and “make on” over those she knew or had just met, in the most animated of ways. She was especially proud of all the members of her family – and delightedly claimed her children’s spouses, Gregg Jones and Jennifer Davis, as her very own. Fran is survived by her husband of 58 years, Arthur Davis of Wilsonville, Ore.; daughter Diane Davis Jones (Gregg) of Houston, Texas; son Douglas Arthur Davis (Jennifer) of Lake Oswego; grandchildren Bradford K.

His spirit is carried on by his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchild, sisters, many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews and extended family. Arnold’s parents, Arnold Kehrli and Margaret Fahner immigrated from Switzerland in the 1920’s and upon arriving in America, the Kehrli’s started the Skyline Dairy and the Fahner’s owned the White Rose Dairy, both in Gresham, Oregon. He would go on to own his own dairy, Kehrli’s Dairy, in Troutdale with his lovely bride. Arnold made a career change in his 30’s when he went to work for Multnomah County Fire District 10 where he served for 23 years until his retirement. Arnold made many good decisions in his 85 years of life, but the best decision he ever made was when he chose Georgetta Duerst as his wife. They married on April 21, 1950 and had been happily married for 64 years. Arnold and Georgetta loved family and home life and added Paul (1951), Debbie, (1953) and Terri (1964) to their happy family, to which their children are eternally grateful. Grandchildren Justin (Vannessa) and Kelsey, and greatgranddaughter, Bettie, have great memories of the time spent at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and many special outings. Arnold and Georgetta enjoyed exploring the world around them and travelled to 48 of the 50 states, and also took multiple international vacations – with Switzerland being a favorite destination. Arnold’s sisters, Marguerite Kehrli and Esther (Ron) Cox joined them on many of these travel adventures, and are thankful for the many memories shared with their older brother. We were lucky to have Arnold around for 85 years, and we will miss his incredibly dry sense of humor, his sparkling eyes and his mischievous grin.

YOU ARE DIRECTED TO FILE A WRITTEN ANSWER to the petition NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF LAST PUBLICATION OF THIS SUMMONS, specified herein, admitting or denying the allegations in the petition and informing the court of your current residence address, mailing address and telephone number. YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE MAILED TO Multnomah Juvenile Complex, 1401 NE 68th Ave, Portland, Oregon 97213. You are further directed to appear at any subsequent court-ordered hearing. AN ATTORNEY MAY NOT ATTEND ANY COURT-ORDERED HEARING IN YOUR PLACE. THEREFORE, YOU MUST APPEAR EVEN IF YOUR ATTORNEY ALSO APPEARS. This summons is published pursuant to the order of the circuit court judge of the above-entitled court, dated November 4th, 2014. The order directs that this summons be published once each week for four consecutive weeks, making four publications in all, in a published newspaper of general circulation in Multnomah County. Date of first publication: November 13, 2014. Date of last publication: December 4, 2014. Typical large city The foreclosure scene also has shown some marked improvement, and housing starts are rising solidly. Denk noted that between 2000 and 2003, the average number of housing starts for the country was 1.3 million singlefamily homes. In 2009, the country saw about 27 percent of that Airbnb: Less housing, higher rent ■ From page 1 bother to seek permits, especially when leasing out apartment rooms violates most tenants’ leases. The standard lease used by Multifamily NW, which represents owners of about 175,000 apartment units in Oregon, bars subletting, says Deborah Imse, the trade group’s executive director. Imse participated in a task force put together by Hales’ staff to vet the new proposal. While the landlords group may seek some changes, such as requiring the landlord signature get notarized, its main concern is that landlord approval is granted, Imse says. New wrinkle City Commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz want to go fur- ther, and require that the landlord apply for the permit instead of the tenant. “It is the landlord and not the tenant who we should hold accountable,” Fish says. “The landlord has the ultimate responsibility for a safe building.” That could further limit the number of permit applications. Under Portland’s ordinance, people opening up their singlefamily homes to short-term renters only have to live on the premises nine months of the year. That means they could hire an off-site manager and rent their home to short-term visitors all summer while traveling abroad or enjoying the sun in Hawaii. Steve Unger, proprietor of the Lion and the Rose Victorian Bed & Breakfast in Irvington, will ask the City Council to be more strict for multifamily properties. He wants hosts to live on site for all W H AT T O O K Y O U A L I F E T I M E TO LEARN CAN BE LOST IN MINUTES. WITH A STROKE, TIME LOST IS BRAIN LOST.

Losing affordable housing Expanding the city ordinance also raises more concerns that Airbnb-style operations will reduce the stock of affordable housing in Portland, driving up rents. Mayor Hales recognizes that problem, Haynes says, but is confident that operators of subsidized housing will not allow short-term rentals in their properties. But even the loss of marketrate apartments can drive up rents if that causes the supply of units to dwindle. Hales doesn’t dispute that, Haynes says, but figures it’s better to have a regulatory system in place given that short-term rentals have become so common here and are unlikely to go away. One Portlander already filed an anonymous complaint that four apartments at 514 N.W Ninth Ave. are being listed illegally under Airbnb. The local property manager and Seattle owner of the Northwest Portland apartment building both declined to discuss the complaint, which resulted in a zoning violation notice sent by the Bureau of Development Services. Several people have testified to the City Council that they can charge much higher rents to tourists on short stays than they can to long-term tenants. “If you rent a unit short-term, you can usually make in three months as much as you can all year long renting it long-term,” Unger says. That means there will be a temptation for more apartment owners to convert their units to A i r b n b - styl e p r o p e r t i e s , despite the on-site residency requirement. Fish is concerned about that prospect. “I don’t have any illusions about how hard it is to regulate this,” he says. The city is hesitant to mount a major enforcement effort against those who fail to seek permits or otherwise violate the short-term rental ordinance, preferring to intervene only when someone files a complaint. So far, no city commissioner has asked for more money to spend on enforcing the ordinance, Haynes says. Greater use of Airbnb in multifamily settings also is likely to reduce the supply of affordable units even when the tenant remains on site. That’s because tenants or condo owners might be tempted to stop renting out rooms to longer-term tenants in favor of higher-paying nightly renters. There is little available data on such arrangements, since they often occur under the table. But it stands to reason that renting out a room is usually cheaper than renting a studio apartment. “Roommate rentals are real important affordable housing,” Unger says.

When mapped out as two lines on a graph, Jordan said the state’s expenditures and revenues used to resemble and be called “the jaws of death” for the way they diverged. Thanks to some painful cuts and a new approach to delivering services in a more local way, those two lines are now nearly on top of each other. “The jaws of death are gone,” Jordan said. “That’s not the case at the local level, but from the state level, they are gone.” Robert Denk, a senior economist with the National Association of Home Builders, told builders that, for the first time in years, the housing market recovery is driven by a solid improve- 01 -2 4 4 Trib Info Box 0813 View legals online at: http://publicnotices.portlandtribune.com TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO 198 PORTLAND TRIBUNE PUBLIC NOTICE 111314 RD 494744.111114 ( $$,%)"*&!$%&("$&%$-+++( &%((%%& &!'(#'-503.261.2400 481148.101414 !"" % !"" %"" $!"

But this year, the takeaway from the event finally sounded firmly on the positive end of the spectrum. “It was much better news than a lot of the past years,” said Jan Lewis, owner of Tryon Creek Construction. “I think it’s been a lot slower of a recovery than anybody expected, but the news this year seemed like it was finally better.” The annual forecast drew nearly 500 professionals, politicians and city officials from across the metro region. They were there to hear what three experts had to say about the economy and the housing market ahead. Setting the stage first for this year’s forecast was Michael Jordan, Oregon’s chief operations officer. Jordan, who has been in government for more than 30 average. Since then, the United States has slowly worked its way back up to almost half of the 1.3 million average. While that’s good, Denk said there’s still some ground to make up. “We still have the other half of the housing market recovery ahead of us,” he said, adding that he expects housing starts to hit 68 percent of the 1.3 million average by the end of 2015 and 90 percent by the end of 2016. Focusing more exclusively on Oregon was Josh Lehner, an economist with the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. He blazed through the high points for Oregon — strong population growth, hefty job creation, and the fact that builders didn’t overbuild too much during the boom before the bust — and also listed the lows: a lack of midwage jobs, lingering tough times in the rural portions of the state, and the difficulty in obtaining credit that many younger Oregonians are running into. Lehner said Portland gets tagged with some negative narratives about having nothing but creative-class service jobs, and while there’s some truth to that, it’s not any worse here than in other cities across the country. “Really, Portland matches the typical large city anywhere,” he said. “In Portland and Oregon, we are right there with the rest of the country.” www.octc.org Join us for this hilarious musical based on the New York Times bestselling series Ivy + Bean by Annie Barrows 30 Years and Counting Look For Info In Portland Water Bills Or On-Line At Oregoncub.org NEWS A11 The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 13, 2014 Electric taxi firm stays ahead of the curve Washington man hopes to expand EcoCab in Portland By STEVE LAW The Tribune Would you go out of your way to schedule a taxi ride if it were in an electric vehicle?

Portland is the “perfect city” to start an electric vehicle cab company, Knori says. “We’ve got all the public charging in- TRIBUNE PHOTOS: JAIME VALDEZ Ron Knori, owner and CEO of taxi company EcoCab in Longview, Wash., stands next to his Tesla taxicab in Portland. frastructure that we need already,” he says, and the city is a hotbed for people who prefer electric vehicles. In Longview, EcoCab operates two Teslas, two Leafs and two Chevy Volts. He notices a bump in business just from offering the Teslas. “It’s making people literally change the way they go out,” he says. When he drives one to Portland, people stop him and ask to take his photo. Though there is a demand for more taxis in Portland, EcoCab is going to have to wait in line to get permits. The city has licensed about 460 taxis, and there are applications for more than 400 more, says Bryan Hockaday, a policy adviser for city Commissioner Steve Novick. Oversight of taxi regulatory matters was shifted from the city Revenue Bureau to the Portland Bureau of Transportation in July, giving Novick new responsibility for oversight. Last Wednesday, Novick announced he wants to appoint a task force to help evaluate the city’s taxi industry and regulatory matters, says Hockaday, the commissioner’s new point person for taxi matters. The review will look at More bumps ahead on road to street fee Response to Hales, Novick plan comes fast, mostly furious By JIM REDDEN The Tribune The city’s revised street fee is stirring up a hornet’s nest of opposition. Some Portland business leaders and neighborhood activists already are calling for changes to the proposal unveiled Monday morning by Mayor Charlie Hales and Commissioner Steve Novick. The leader of at least one grassroots organization is asking its members to support the revised fee, however. Opponents are labeling it a “street tax” and urging its defeat. And a lobbyist is predicting it will be referred to the ballot. And all this is happening before the first City Council hearing, which is scheduled for Nov. 20. Within hours of the City Hall news conference by Hales and Novick, Sandra McDonough, president of the Portland Business Alliance, posted a message on her blog calling for the proposal to be amended. Among other things, McDonough said the PBA opposes the residential portion of the revised fee, the city’s first progressive income tax. “Under this new plan, almost half of Portland taxpayers will be exempt from paying even a modest amount, contrary to the longstanding tradition of a user-pay system for street maintenance. This is a result of the structure of the proposed new income tax and the city’s inability to tax public retirement incomes (although private retirement income would be taxable),” wrote McDonough, who urged the city to reconsider the fee structure. But Southeast Uplift questioned provisions of the revised proposal even before it was formally unveiled. On Nov. 6, the board of the Southeast Portland neighborhood coalition office sent a letter to the council saying the cost falls too heavily on residents and not heavily enough on large road users, such as the Union Pacific Railroad Yard in that part of town and large medical institutions, like Oregon Health & Science University, Providence Hospital and Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital. “In many cases major users of roads may pay less than a single Portland resident,” said the letter, signed by Southeast Uplift board President Robert McCullough, who attended Monday’s news conference and repeated the criticisms in the hallway afterward. But even earlier, on Nov. 3, Jonathan Ostar, director of the OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon, sent an email to members of the nonprofit organization calling on them to express their support for the fee to the council. Ostar served on one of the work groups that revised the fee and said it would fund safety projects favored by his organization. They include more sidewalks, crosswalks and better access to transit along 122nd Avenue in East Portland. “I have worked very hard to push for a progressive revenue Ron Knori, owner and CEO of taxi company EcoCab, in Longview, Wash., drives his Tesla taxicab in downtown Portland. market demand, customer service, taxi driver compensation, and new technologies that are being used by companies like Uber. “We certainly think that we need to do a new market de- mand study,” Hockaday says. There’s clear demand for more taxis in Portland, he says, and increasing complaints about long wait times for people trying to get taxi service. Maybe some of those com- plainants will feel better if a $96,320 electric vehicle pulls up to their door to give them a ride. [email protected] twitter.com/SteveLawTrib Court: Long traffic stop negates evidence Justices rule in local case, favoring U.S. Supreme Court tests proposal that exempts low-income households and shifts responsibility to our most affluent residents. I have also advanced a project list that ensures that the revenue generated will be spent in communities that need the most investment, like East Portland,” according to Ostar’s email. Meanwhile, critics on the nostreetfee.com website are urging the rest of the council to defeat the new tax. “Even if they call it the ‘Portland Street Fund,’ a tax by any other name is still a tax,” reads one post. And lobbyist Paul Romain says if the council does not refer the measure to the ballot, it will be placed there through a petition drive, although he did not say who would lead it. The revised proposal includes a progressive personal income tax that begins at $25,000 for a single person and $35,000 for a couple. It would be capped at $75 a month and includes a $5,000 per child deduction. The taxes paid would be deductible on state and local income tax forms. The nonresidential portion would assess businesses based on the number of employees, the square footage of office and other building space, and their gross revenue. Payments would range from $3 to $144 a month, with a 50 percent discount available for nonprofit organizations. The revised fee is intended to raise $46 million a year, with 56 percent of the revenue going to street maintenance projects and 44 percent dedicated to safety projects. The council is tentatively scheduled to vote on the proposal Dec. 3. We’d like to meet you! By PETER WONG The Tribune The Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that police cannot stretch out a traffic stop illegally if they had no reasonable suspicion to detain the driver or passengers — even if police turn up incriminating evidence later. The court was careful to say that it depends on the circumstances and three legal tests laid out by the U.S. Supreme Court four decades ago. The justices decided last week in favor of Clark Allen Bailey, who was a passenger in a car stopped by Portland police in 2010. During what would have been an otherwise routine stop, Bailey declined to identify himself to police until another officer arrived about 30 minutes later, recognized him as a gang associate and ran a records check on him. Bailey had an outstanding arrest warrant, and in an ensuing search, police found him in possession of cocaine and $700 in cash. Despite a motion to exclude the drug evidence, a Multnomah County judge and a split Oregon Court of Appeals panel allowed it. But the Supreme Court ruled otherwise, and sent the case back to circuit court. Justice David Brewer, who wrote for the court, says that the circumstances amounted to an unreasonable search of Bailey after an unlawful stop of the car he was riding in. Unreasonable searches and seizures are barred under the Oregon and U.S. constitutions. In this case, the justices overruled a 1967 decision by the court in favor of a 1975 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, which lays out three legal tests to determine the validity of the seized evidence. The tests are the proximity of the unlawful conduct and the discovery of the challenged evidence, the intervening circumstances, and the flagrancy of the official misconduct. The case stemmed from a police officer who reported gang activity in 2010 in Portland. An officer spotted by air a group of people leaving a home where gang members gathered after a funeral of an associate. The officer, concerned that the group were on their way to commit violence, asked police to check out their vehicle. A patrol car then stopped the driver of the rented vehicle for a minor traffic violation — failure to signal a turn — and asked her for proof of insurance that she did not have. (She was cited later on both.) While the check was proceeding, an officer asked for the identities of the passengers, but Bailey declined. A second officer in a backup car also asked Bailey, but he declined again. That officer suspected that Bailey was a gang associate, but it was not until a third officer arrived about 30 minutes later, recognized Bailey and ran a criminal records check on him that police discovered an outstanding arrest warrant.

Weekend!Life NU SHOOZ MOVES ON FROM ’80S FAME TO ENERGETIC ERA — PAGE 3 SECTION B PortlandTribune NATURAL WONDER THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2014 A dam M cI saac carv es and casts new art for th e Oregon D ep artment of Fish and W ildlife’s new building By DEAN BAKER For the Tribune A fter 20 years carving his way into the heart of Pacific Northwest Native art, Adam McIsaac is turning his hand to 21st century applications of those motifs, at times using aluminum. “I’m moving more into Adam McIsaac work,” he says. “There is less demand for Native art than there was.” He is finishing his latest job, a $ 68,880 arts grant for atmospherics in the new Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Department in Salem. “I think Adam’s sensibility, both his relationship to the natural world and his artistic work, are a perfect fit for the ODFW headquarters,” says Meagan Atiyeh, visual arts coordinator for the Oregon Arts Commission, which administered the grant and chose McIsaac over 45 other artists who applied for the job. “It’s been a nice opportunity to create work that is integrated into the building itself,” she says. McIsaac, 40, is a Hockinson, Wash., native and a graduate of Clark County’s Prairie High School. Of German, Scottish and Irish blood he learned the ways of the Columbia River Native people, starting at the knee of his father, a biologist. He has translated his love of Native American art and the natural world into totem poles, canoes, spoons, ladles, masks, wall panels and metal moldings. He apprenticed for years with legendary North Coast artist Duane Pasco, learning the totems — from owls to frogs, ducks, warriors and other lore. He’s worked closely with Native people, especially with the Chinook tribe, including tribal leader Tony Johnson, in making traditional art from totem poles to canoes. Public art has been McIsaac’s forte for 20 years, and his influence is growing. He made carvings for Blue Lake State Park in Troutdale, a panel in Multnomah Falls State Park and an eight-foot cedar work in the Tualatin library. He built a huge set of double doors for the Port of Portland Building. He created an installation for the Portland State University recreation center. McIsaac also carved eightfoot panels as wallboards for the new Oregon State Hospital wing in Salem. Intricate wallboards can take three weeks to carve, he says. Maybe 120 hours of close work, carving away with a chisel under a bright light. In Washington, McIsaac carved a totem pole for the La Center City Hall and a giant sculpture called “The Navigator” that welcomes students into the Columbia V alley Elementary School in V ancouver. He carved poles and figures for the Cathlapotle Plankhouse, a full-scale replica Indian meetinghouse at Ridgefield National Wild- See McISAAC / Page 2 Sculptor Adam McIsaac shows off some works in progress ( above and left) . He has excelled at Pacific Northwest Native art over the years. Wall panels made by Adam McIsaac include frogs ( top) and goats.

The huge, fabricated aluminum coho salmon honor the ODFW’s work to bring back the salmon runs, McIsaac says. McIsaac says he is making use of metal art for the first time because some public agencies won’t accept his woodcarvings for outdoor displays as they once did. “They want metal, bronze, concrete, something that is maintenance free. I’m feeling the push to broaden my scope,” he says. “For the fish and wildlife project, they were interested in my work and its ties to the Northwest, but they weren’t too interested in the Native American art, which is what I usually do.” So he’s left that behind for this project. “I’m branching out, and I’ve used all the stylistic conventions I’ve used to do my Columbia River art, and to apply it to a non-Native theme,” he says. At times, McIsaac says, it’s been difficult getting art dealers or public agencies to accept Native art from an artist who is not a Native. But his relations with the tribes have been good. “The tribes love it. I’m in good standing with all the tribes,” he says.

Recently, McIsaac has installed a series of metal sculptures for the City of Ridgefield. “It’s stunning,” says Danny Knudsen, operations manager of Fouch Electric Mfg. Co. & Profile Laser in Portland, who worked with him on the project. Now Knudsen is working with McIsaac on the Salem building, using a Fouch’s fiberoptic cutter to fabricate the aluminum salmon McIsaac created. “Adam’s artwork is great, and he’s a pleasure to work with,” Knudsen says. McIsaac also teaches carving, sometimes to Indian people at reservations at Grand Ronde and Tokeland, Wash. But his focus now is on the Salem building. “As of today, four of Adam’s pieces of art are on display in the ODFW headquarters building,” says Rick Hargrave, deputy administrator for information and education at the agency. “The pieces are handcarved wooden planks with geometric and zoomorphic imagery representing Oregon’s game and nongame species. They are mounted over each door that lead into the Commission Room. “He’ll soon be mounting some large salmon pieces on an outside wall that, when finished, will provide a dramatic interpretation of the journey of this iconic Oregon fish,” lery in Seattle, but galleries in Portland have declined to carry his Native art because of his heritage, although he has shown art occasionally in Portland festivals. To branch out from Native work, he went to the advertising engravings from the late 1890s to early 1900s for Winchester deer rifles and shotguns. “They all have to do with wildlife, and I got inspired and transfered them into wood — some pheasants, some oak leaves, a deer at the center, some scroll patterns,” he says. “The theme was wildlife, so I looked at it all: wetlands, big game species, upland birds, the flora and fauna,” he says. “The panels reinforce the mission of the agency. A lot of these designs go into the council room, so I have one with two bucks fighting, bighorn sheep, and so on to suggest the butting of heads.” McIsaac pointed to a cedar panel he is finishing in his studio on the eight-acre rural homestead east of La Center, Wash., he shares with his wife, Mandi, a psychological counselor, and two of their homeschooled children, Cooper, 10, and Cloey, 8. Another daughter, Katie, 21, is an agriculture and business major at California Polytechnic University. They live with a female pet raccoon named Coonie, a 20-year-old sulcata tortoise, and a couple of dogs. Adam and Cooper recently returned from 10 days hiking in the Idaho wilderness, each bagging a deer.

In addition to Day and Smith, Nu Shooz features Gary Fountaine on bass, Johnny Riley on drums, Margaret Linn on backing vocals and vocal arrangements, Tracey Harris on backing vocals, Haley Horsfall on backing vocals and percussion, Paul Mazzio on trumpet, and Tim Jensen on saxophones and flute. “It seems like the style of R& B we’re playing is making a definite comeback,” Day says, noting Nu Shooz has been playing dates with the Freestyle Explosion Tour, featuring other hit ‘ 80s acts Lisa Lisa, Exposé , Stacey Q ., Shannon and Pretty Poison. “The audiences at our Freestyle shows are mostly younger than us, late 20s to early 30s,” Day says. “A lot of the people we talk to know about the Shooz because their parents played our records.” Speaking of records, if you go to nushoozmusic.com you can listen to “Kung Pao Chicken” the band’s most recent album, released in 2012, which features nine songs ranging from funky rug-cutters to midtempo ballads. The record and subsequent gigs highlight a new, energetic era for the band, Day says. “We’re planning to hit the live band thing pretty hard for the next three years — after that, who knows?” she says. Day and Smith explored a variety of styles after calling it quits in the early ‘ 90s. “I sang jazz with a big band and smaller groups, something I’d always wanted to do,” Day says. “John spent 20 years scoring films and commercials. When we came back together in 2007 to make (the album) ‘ Pandora’s Box,’ we each brought new things into the mix. The break did us a lot of good, and in the interim we’d learned different ways of working together.” The group has evolved its approach to songwriting, Day adds. “At first it was just John cranking out songs alone in the basement,” she says. “Over the years I was able to contribute more. During the third album for Atlantic, Margaret Linn started working with us, contributing these incredible ideas for vocal arrangements, which just made the songs better.” Nov. 18 group broke up, Porterfield played with his new outfit, Conrad Plymouth, before forming Field Report.

Published every Tuesday and Thursday | www.portlandtribune.com | 503.684.0360 SPORTS B9 The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 13, 2014 B eav ers h op e to cool S un D ev ils’ h ot streak CORVALLIS — Oregon State appears to be in over its head Saturday night when the Beavers (4-5 overall, 1-5 in Pac-12 play) play host to seventhranked Arizona State (8-1, 5-1) in a 7:45 p.m. matchup at Reser Stadium. OSU’s defense seems the biggest concern. In consecutive losses to Stanford, California and Washington State, the Beavers have yielded an average of 40.7 points, 29.7 first d ow n s , 3 4 5 yards passing ALEXANDER and 497 yards total offense. “The opposing offenses have operated well,” says Mark Banker, in his 12th year as Mike Riley’s defensive coordinator. “But we haven’t answered the call.” Banker’s appraisal of his defense in last Saturday’s 39-32 loss to Wazzu starts with “two selfinflicted wounds” — Cougar touchdown passes that erased an early 10-0 Oregon State lead. “The most embarrassing and totally unacceptable one was just before the half,” Banker said, the reference to a 48-yard TD strike from Luke Falk to Vince Mayle. “We didn’t get lined up. “I’m right in the crosshairs. I’ll take the bullet on that one. We have to have a sense of urgency in that situation. What happened INSURANCE PROBLEMS? WE CAN HELP. &DOORUYLVLW ,QVXUDQFH2UHJRQJRY who we are and what we are. We have to keep our minds straight and worry about ourselves.” Arizona State brings to Corvallis a team in the driver’s seat to represent the South Division in the Pac-12 championship game on Dec. 5. It isn’t out of the realm of possibility the Sun Devils could be one of four teams in the national playoffs, too. ASU averages 36.7 points and 475.7 yards total offense, led by senior quarterback Taylor Kelly, junior tailback D.J. Foster (821 yards, six TDs), and junior receiver Jaelen Strong (62 catches, nine scores). Banker compares the Sun Devils’ offense to that of Utah, “but they have more of an ability to get the ball downfield.” “They’re pretty good,” Alexander says. “They’re 50-50 with the run and pass, so we have to expect anything. Foster is a good athlete, and their quarterback can run and pass. It will be another good test for us.” Is Banker discouraged? “No,” he said. “Disappointed in myself, because you always look inward. I haven’t been able to put a game plan together to help these players win. The discouragement comes from not being able to finish the game. “I know the kids are trying to do the things we’re asking them to do. It comes down to being solid in what we execute and being able to make the plays.” Alexander says the Beavers haven’t lost faith in themselves. “Everybody’s energy is good,” he says. “We’re all focused. We’re all hungry. Any team can be beaten on a given day. It depends on who wants it more. On Saturday, it has to be us. I believe it will be us.” Sky mark. Coach Tyler Geving, in his sixth year at the helm, welcomes back six players, including senior guards Tim Douglas at the point, Gary Winston (42 percent on 3-pointers last season) and DaShaun Wiggins (co-Sixth WHITE Man of the Year in the Big Sky). Junior college transfers Bryce White and Collin Spickerman are expected to have a big impact. White, a former Benson High star, is a 6-5 guard who averaged 27.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game last year for Chemeketa Community College. Spickerman, from Jesuit High, is a 6-8 forward who went for 17.9 points and 9.1 rebounds last season with Clark College. Others to watch include 6-6 sophomore forward Braxton Turner who had 16 points and five rebounds in place of Spickerman (sprained ankle) in last week’s 88-43 exhibition win over Linfield, and senior Tiegbe Bamba, a 6-6 forward from France who has been a project since arriving in 2013 and sitting out last season with an Achilles heel injujry, PSU’s home opener is Tuesday, Nov. 18, against Willamette; tip-off is 7 p.m. at Stott Center. Other preseason home games are Nov. 24 against SIU Edwardsville, Dec. 13 versus Cal State Bakersfield and Dec. 22 with Walla Walla. ■ The PSU women open at Seattle University at 5 p.m. Sunday, then play host to South Dakota at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19. The Vikings have been picked for 11th out of 12 teams in the Big Sky. PSU went 8-21 overall and 6-14 in league last season. Other Stott Center preseason games of note include Nov. 29 against Long Beach State and Dec. 5 versus Navy. The inner-city rivalry with Portland is Dec. 12 at PSU, and the Big Sky campaign begins at Southern Utah on Jan. 1. UO: Schneider, Wogan vie to kick ■ From page 12 each other. You can never be comfortable, ‘cause there’s another guy who wants your spot.” Schneider scored 15 points at Utah with his field goals and extra-point kicks, the most impressive being a 42-yard field goal, which bested his 40-yarder from the Stanford game. “I’m really confident,” he says. “I’m kicking well in practice, getting my consistency up. I know it’s going through when I kick it.” Schneider says the clutch periods in practice, during which he practices kicking important field goals, make him mentally tough. He says he feels some pressure, but not much. He appears pretty relaxed. Tom Osborne, UO special teams coach, says Schneider has moxie and handles clutch periods well. “I don’t feel a ton more pressure kicking in games than (in clutch period during practice),” Schneider says. “Because it (practice) is so important. It’s just like a game to us. We have to get it right. We could potentially be in that situation (in a game), and it’s really, really important to execute.” Schneider says his range is a little more than 50 yards, and he wants to keep getting the call to kick field goals. “I definitely feel as I’m making more kicks, (and coaches) are becoming more confident,” he says. “I just want to show them what I can do, that I can be a consistent kicker here.” The Ducks don’t know, yet, how Schneider would respond to a missed kick or two. Maybe he won’t have to find out this year, if Mariota and the offense keep generating touchdowns. Or, maybe Schneider lines up in the Pac-12 title game or, possibly, a national playoff game, for a field goal. That would be interesting. It’s already been a very interesting year, highlighted by the Utah road performance, for the rookie from Northeast Portland. “Pretty crazy,” he says. “There’s really not a lot of time to stop and think about that. I wouldn’t have pictured myself here at all, really.” VETERANS Family Style Customer Service 7609 SE Stark Street • 503-254-7387 • mrplywoodinc.com STOP PAYING RENT! 100% Financing - No Money Out Of Pocket You can use your VA Loan benefit more than once! 100% Cash-out Debt Consolidation refinance available It’s that time of year for...

It’s unacceptable.” The Cougars gained 88 yards and scored three points in the third quarter. “For a while, we played up to our capabilities,” Banker said. But in the fourth quarter, “we didn’t come up with the plays we needed. We just didn’t get it done.” Falk and Cal’s Jared Goff threw 108 combined passes with nary an interception against the Beavers, and the Cougars and Bears were 19 for 32 on thirddown conversions. “The big thing has been not getting off the field on third down,” Banker says. Oregon State starts eight seniors on defense. Though the Beavers still rank second in the Pac-12 in total defense, the experience hasn’t seemed to help through the last three games. “It doesn’t matter whether we’re true freshmen or seniors,” Banker says. “We just need to play better and coach better.” Senior linebacker D.J. Alexander was asked if he is discouraged by the results of the past month. “Not at all,” Alexander says. “It’s my senior year. We have to go out with a bang. That’s my mind-set. We have three more games to prove who we are. I’m not discouraged at all. “We have a lot of seniors. We all want to be that good team. We’ve had a couple of tough losses, but we’ve put all the work in for four years. Why can’t we have a great end to the season?” Alexander is not oblivious to the criticism the Beavers have taken through the last three weeks. “But you put that in the back of your mind and play your game,” Alexander says. “We know we can do it. Nobody else can tell us Basketball starts for real this weekend for the Portland State men, an intriguing mix of returnees and newcomers, and the Viking women, who are looking to make strides after a subpar 2013-14 season. The PSU men begin with a bang — a trip to Los Angeles to face USC at Galen Center, 7:30 p.m. Saturday. It’s the first meeting between the Vikings and Trojans in 27 years, and the first of 10 preseason games that should help the Viks get ready for the Big Sky season (conference coaches have picked Portland State to finish fifth in the 12-team league, which now includes Idaho).

We weren’t unexciting. We were a very exciting team. We had a great option quarterback, guys like Billy Main who could pick up big chunks and break it long, and we sprinkled in a few passes. I wish we’d have passed more. But it was basic and it was emotional. Dee was a fiery guy. With emotions, it goes two ways. Some games you win that you probably shouldn’t have. You probably lose some games you shouldn’t have because you didn’t prepare at a strategic level.” Andros was always good with his motivational talks. He cranked it up a notch for the Civil War. “His speeches were better for the Ducks,” Enyart said. “He always said the game is for the right to live in the state for one year. It’s metaphorical, but in a sense, it’s true. If you live in the state, you’re either a Beaver or a Duck. After the game, you’re either gloating or you have your tail between your legs. He conveyed that to us. Nobody understood that more than me. When we played the Civil War game, it was more than just another football game. It was the most important thing in the world.” Preece — his teammates called him “Fox” — was a fleet quarterback from Boise with limited passing skills but a perfect fit for Andros’ offense. Recruited by every Pac-8 team except California and UCLA, he took advantage of the recruiting process. “In those years, you could sign a letter of intent with one school in each league,” Preece said. “I signed with Oregon State, Brigham Young, Utah, Colorado and Columbia. I visited Washington. On his visit to my home, (coach) Jim Owens took us out to dinner and ordered a glass of wine. My mom said, ‘You’re not going there.’” ••• COURTESY OF OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Center John Didion was arguably the leader of a very disciplined Oregon State offensive line that paved the way for a Power-T ground attack featuring the fullback and the option threat of halfbacks and q uarterback Steve Preece during the Beavers’ “Giant Killer” years of 1967 and 1968. Andros was an Oklahoma native. Enyart lived in Oklahoma before moving to Medford at age 11. The Enyarts loved Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson, who had coached Andros with the Sooners. Enyart’s father knew Dee and his brother from the Oklahoma days. There was a strong connection. The 6-3 1/2, 235-pound Enyart played fullback and linebacker on the Rook squad in 1965. As a sophomore, he PREECE played weakside linebacker, moving into the starting lineup as a sophomore when starter Jim Godfrey was injured in the opener at Michigan. Enyart had a great season on the defensive side and had a big game in a 2015 victory over Oregon. “My kids and I have watched film of that game quite a few times,” Enyart said. “I told them, ‘Guys, the older I get, the better I used to be.’ But I did have a pretty good game. I caused a fumble and made quite a few tackles.” That spring, with Pifer having graduated, Enyart moved to offense permanently. “Dee had been a little resistant to me being a fullback,” Enyart said. “Dee and Ed Knecht, my freshman coach, wanted me to stay at linebacker. Dee and I had a meeting. I told him, ‘Coach, I want a shot at fullback. I love playing linebacker, but I came here to be a fullback.’ He gave me a shot, and I think it worked out pretty well.” Enyart’s public nickname was “Earthquake,” the result of sports information director John Eggers liking the alliterative sound in promoting the Beaver fullback for All-America consideration. But Enyart’s teammates called him “Buffalo Bill,” which was shortened to “Buff.” He proved to be the right guy to play fullback in Andros’s offense. In the Power-T, an effective fullback was vital. “We needed a blue-collar, durable fullback you could count on,” Enyart said. “Dee would roll over in his grave if he knew you were going to throw the ball on third-and-two. We made no secrets we were going to run Enjoy every moment this holiday season. the ball, and you’re not going to stop us. Our offensive line was fantastic, incredibly disciplined under coach (Sam) Boghosian. We had a great quarterback in Preece, too, and a lot of very good halfbacks.” The halfbacks on the ‘67 and ‘68 teams — Billy Main, Donny Summers and Jerry Belcher — were excellent blockers. “We all had to block in our offense,” Main said. “Our split end, Roger Cantlon, was a great blocker. Our offensive line was terrific — guys like Lee Jamison, Dave Marlette, Rocky Rasley, John Didion, Clyde Smith and Roger Stalick. Those teams had a tremendous rapport between the backs and the linemen. We loved those guys and they loved us. As a team, we coalesced better than you could ever imagine. I’ve never been in an environment where there was more love or camaraderie.” ••• The best of the linemen was Didion, the 6-4, 255-pound center from Woodland, Calif., who initially committed to Brigham Young. “Their coach was Lavell Edwards, a great guy and a very successful coach,” said Didion, who died of a heart attack in December 2013. “Then (OSU assistant coach) Rich Brooks came to an all-star game I played in Sacramento and offered me a trip to Corvallis. I said, ‘Why not?’ And I fell in love with the school. It’s what a college campus is supposed to look like — ivy-covered brick buildings. Woodland is small. I didn’t want to go to an urban area. I got to talk to Coach Andros, and what a great communicator he was. I felt like I wanted to be part of what they were building.” As a sophomore in 1966, Didion played behind 6-6, 270-pound Rockne Freitas, who went on to an 11-year NFL career. “Rocky was instrumental in my beginning weight training,” Didion said. “I weighed 190 as a freshman, and about 205 as a sophomore. Having to go one-on-one against him was like throwing a BB against a wall. That was one of the bigger keys to whatever success I had, getting bigger and stronger.” Among the defensive stars was junior tackle Lewis, who had chosen Oregon State over Washington and Oregon. Lewis became one of the great twosport athletes in Oregon State history, earning All-America recognition in football and winning a pair of NCAA heavyweight wrestling championships in 1968 and ‘69. He finished sixth in the 1968 Olympic Games at Mexico City, earning a draw in his match with the gold medalist, Aleksandr Medved of Russia. ••• The 1967 Oregon State team began the season with impressive wins over Stanford, Arizona State and Iowa. The Beavers stumbled in Seattle, losing five fumbles in a 13-6 loss at Washington in which the Huskies scored the winning touchdown with two minutes to play. Hangover from that loss played a part in an ineffective performance the next week at home in a 31-13 loss to Brigham Young. The next week, Oregon State paid a visit to Purdue, the nation’s No. 2-ranked team led by All-America halfback Leroy Keyes. The Beavers pulled off a stunning 22-14 upset. Two weeks later, OSU was facing another No. 2-ranked team on the road, UCLA. The result was a 16-16 tie that could have been another victory had not one of Mike Haggard’s extra-point attempts bounced off an upright. After that game, talk turned to the Beavers’ next opponent — top-ranked Southern Cal and All-American O.J. Simpson. “We’re tired of playing No. 2,” Andros famously told reporters. “Bring on No. 1.” Haggard’s second-quarter field goal held up in the Beavers’ 3-0 upset at Parker Stadium in what still remains on a short list of great performances in school history. Hence the term “Giant Killers” was born. Because of OSU’s loss to Washington and the tie with UCLA, the Trojans were headed to the Rose Bowl that season to face — ironically — Purdue. In those years, Pac-8 teams were prohibited from playing in any bowl games other than the Rose Bowl. So the Beavers, 6-2-1 and ranked eighth nationally, had only the Civil War game left to play. Birth of the ‘Fighting Ducks’ In Eugene, the Jerry Frei era had begun. Len Casanova had retired and been replaced by his long-time assistant. Frei had played at Wisconsin, then moved to Oregon in 1949 to become an assistant coach at Portland’s Grant High. He served as head coach at Portland’s Lincoln High, was an assistant coach at Willamette, and then joined Casanova’s Oregon staff in 1955. “Jerry was one of those type of people who was inspirational, and he had visions of Oregon becoming more than what we had been,” said Claxton Welch, a halfback from Portland’s David Douglas High. “He was the one who came up with the nickname ‘Fighting Ducks.’ He saw there was opportunity to become something special. We would come out of the locker room, jog over to our warm-up position in single file, break into four or five lines, and then you would start your exercises. It was something he picked up when he visited Notre Dame during spring practice. He wanted us to emulate the Fighting Irish.” ••• Oregon went into the 1967 Civil War game with a 2-8 record. The Ducks had played better in their last two games, a 1713 win over Washington State and a 17-14 loss to Stanford, but the Beavers were nationally ranked and heavily favored when they invaded brand-new Autzen Stadium.

Oregon led 10-0 going into the fourth quarter before Oregon State pulled out a 14-10 victory. Earlier in the day, USC had beaten UCLA, clinching a Rose Bowl berth. Perhaps there was some hangover on the Beavers’ part from the emotional victory over Southern Cal the week before. Perhaps there was disappointment that there would be no bowl game. Perhaps they overlooked the Ducks. “We found out during warmups we were out of the Rose Bowl picture,” Preece said. “I really feel we’d have been capable of beating the Ducks by 30 if the Rose Bowl had been on the line, but we played pretty miserably.” ••• Junior Enyart, whose fourthquarter work was the key to Oregon State’s comeback that day, felt it was his coming of age as a Beaver fullback. “We were coming off the SC win, and had a little bit of an emotional letdown, and the Trojans can physically take a lot out of you, too,” said Enyart, who carried 35 times for 167 PUBLIC AUCTION SALE LOCATION: PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY 1940 NORTH VICTORY BLVD., PORTLAND, OR 97201 Creating a healthier you, through your own strengths and resources, with behavioral change counseling and coaching.

Against USC, Scott missed fieldgoal attempts of 21, 30 and 32 yards in the first half. “Had Mike Haggard been back, we’d have been national champions that year,” Enyart said. ••• Oregon had made strides in Frei’s second season. The Ducks went into the 1968 Civil War 4-5 with a chance to finish the year at .500. Before the game, Frei called Oregon State, ranked 16th nationally, “the finest college offensive football team I’ve ever seen.” But, said Frei, “I’ll tell Dee or anyone else we won’t play this Saturday as we did against Cal (a 36-8 loss), and we’re not going to Corvallis to concede.” The Beavers, though, were ready. “That game was the crown for the Giant Killers group,” Enyart said. “We had struggled against the Ducks the year before. They’d put up a great effort against us. The seniors knew this was the last time we were putting on an Oregon State uniform. It was an emotionally charged time. We always stayed together at an Albany motel the night before a home game. We’d have cookies and cocoa together about 10 o’clock. Donny Summers read a poem to every- body that he had put together that day. I didn’t know Donny had it in him. I swear we had tears in our eyes listening to him.” The Ducks were no match for the Beavers in a 41-19 loss at Parker Stadium. Oregon was poised to take out Preece on Oregon State’s patented option play. Preece had broken a shoulder the previous season, and opponents that year often took shots at it. Early in the game, UO defensive end Dennis Gassner coldcocked him. Main saw it. “Billy told me, ‘Run that play again,’” Preece recalled. “I ran it again, and Main goes flying by me and hits (Gassner) so hard I thought he was going to kill him. He’s standing over him, screaming, ‘Don’t touch my quarterback again.’” Enyart rushed 37 times for 168 yards and three touchdowns. “We were a really good team — arguably better than the Giant Killers of the year before,” said defensive tackle Hanneman, a sophomore that season. “When we were clicking,” Main said, “we were the No. 1 team in the nation in both ‘67 and ‘68.” “That was a hell of an Oregon State team,” Oregon tight end Andy Maurer said. “They should have beaten us a million to nothing.” ACT NOW!

THURS., NOV. 20th – 9:00AM CHANGE YOUR BEHAVIOR AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE. YOU! The 1968 season was a “couldhave-been” campaign for Oregon State. The Beavers were ranked No. 2 nationally in Playboy magazine’s preseason spread. They wound up losing three games by a total of six points in a 7-3 season. They dropped two of their first four contests by a point apiece — 21-20 at Iowa in the opener, then 35-34 in the fourth game at Kentucky. The only other loss came in the penultimate game, a 17-13 defeat at Southern Cal. Oregon State and USC both went into the game 4-0 in PAC play, so in essence, the Rose Bowl was on the line. The Trojans, led by Heisman Trophy winner Simpson, were 8-0 overall and again ranked No. 1 nationally. With Simpson carrying 47 times for 238 yards, the Trojans scored 17 fourth-quarter points to win. The lack of a place-kicker had been OSU’s Achilles heel all season. Highly regarded sophomore Pat Arnold had been in a preseason automobile accident and wasn’t able to perform. Larry Rich was called on to kick extra points, and tackle Kent Scott handled field goals.

In 1965, the Ducks had played three of their five home games at Portland’s Multnomah Stadium. Former athletic director Leo Harris — then employed as a part-time consultant by the athletic department — considered the new facility a first step toward joining the big time in college athletics. “From a cold, analytical standpoint, football is the only successful method to finance the entire athletic program, and our objective is to build a firstclass program,” Harris told the Duck Club the week before the Civil War. “Our facilities at Oregon — I think they are the best in the PAC — will make a tremendous contribution to our athletic program. But we must build with football as the foundation. We must field a representative team every year, not every other year or every three years. Money has never been the problem in the football program. We’ve always had plenty of money. Until this year, the Oregon athletic department has never used all its aid money. We’ve never had enough football players to warrant using it all. The difficulty has been in the area of recruiting. ... Football hasn’t seemed important. ... There has been a general apathy toward football. Until you solve this, it won’t make any difference whether or not you have the money to get players. Football is important at Oregon, just as all school-related activities are important. I hope you as alumni demand this. You have been too complacent in the past, but you have the ability, and I’m sure the desire, to change this.” ••• yards. “But I was feeling good. That day was when I came into my own as a fullback. “Bud Wilkinson always said if you make 3.4 yards a carry, you’ll never get stopped. I averaged about five yards a carry. With that in mind, if they gave the ball to me, we were theoretically never going to get stopped. That was Dee’s philosophy. I knew I wasn’t going to break long runs, so I was content to get a lot of good short runs and make the (defenders) pay a price to tackle me and set up the option for the bigger runs.” ••• Support your community Since 1865 Call 800-481-3280 ONE-LIFE RATES Age Rate 65 70 75 80 85 90+ 5.7% 6.1% 6.7% 7.6% 8.9% 10.5% Two-life rates available.

The team is off to a 3-6 start and is being plagued with negative publicity due to the off-the-court problems of its players. To help counteract that, the club announces that 69 of its remaining 73 regular-season games will be televised, with the bulk of those on Fox Sports Net under terms of a new deal. FSN is looking to expand its Oregon audience and presence. COURTESY OF OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY To former Oregon State football coach Dee Andros, also known as “The Great Pumpkin,” the annual Civil War game against Oregon was a hugely important contest and, as he was fond of saying, for the right to live in the state for the next year. CIVIL WAR ‘MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER FOOTBALL GAME’ ‘67-’68 ‘Giant Killers’ hit stride battling ‘Fighting Ducks’ By KERRY EGGERS The Tribune T he apex of Dee Andros’ 11 years at Oregon State came in his third and fourth seasons, 1967 and ‘68. Some of the players were remnants of the Tommy Prothro era. More were Andros recruits who were big, strong, farm-boy types who fit perfectly into his “Power-T” offense and physical 6-2-3 defensive scheme. Many of the stars on those two great Beaver teams were from small towns in the state of Oregon. Defensive tackles Jess Lewis and Craig Hanneman played together at Cascade High north of Salem. “I came from a three-room, eight-grade Cloverdale Grade School near Turner,” Hanneman said. “Jess came from the big town of Aumsville. I’ll bet they had four rooms in their eight grades.” Other key players included Jon Sandstrom from Sandy, Don Whitney from Pendleton, Larry Rich and Bill Plumeau from ENYART McMinnville, and Bill Enyart and Mark Dippel from Medford. There was also Scott Freeburn from Salem, Donny Summers from Grants Pass, Charlie Olds and Bob Jeremiah from Cottage Grove, Clyde Smith and Mike Nehl from Bend, and the Barton boys, Duane and Gary, from Baker. If you spread out a map of Oregon and pinpointed every rural section of the state, you’d be well Andros recruited fullbacks and moved them to tackle or linebacker. Lewis and Hanneman were both fullbacks in high school. So was Sandstrom. ‘Great Pumpkin’ takes charge “The Civil War Rivalry ... Oregon vs. Oregon State” is the newest book by Portland Tribune sports columnist Kerry Eggers. Here is an excerpt; see more from the book in future Tribune issues leading up to the 118th football meeting of the Ducks and Beavers on Nov. 29. represented on the Oregon State football squads of those years. In 1967, the starting interior defensive four were Lewis, Sandstrom, Ron Boley — who had been a quarterback at Parkrose — and 6-7 1/2, 260-pound Bill Nelson from Berkeley, Calif., who went on to play five seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. The “Great Pumpkin” used an offense featuring a full-house backfield — a quarterback, two halfbacks and a fullback. Through his first seven seasons, the fullback was the focal point, with Pete Pifer, Bill Enyart, Roger Smith and Dave Schilling all taking on workhorse loads and having plenty of success.

O r e g o n k i c ke r A i d a n Schneider, a walk-on true freshman from Grant High, had just booted three field goals and scored 15 points to help the Ducks beat Utah. After the game, somebody asked UO coach Mark Helfrich whether Schneider’s performance — which made the kicker 5-for-5 this year on field goals — would give the coach confidence to go for three points more often. Like his predecessor, Chip Kelly, Helfrich wants to be aggressive, and stay aggressive. So, in a roundabout way, the coach said no, that he would prefer to keep thinking touchdowns. “I think you guys all know my confidence in Marcus Mariota,” Helfrich said of his star quarterback and his touchdown-making ability. “I’m greedy. I want touchdowns. “This game (vs. Utah, 51-27 win) lent itself to that back and forth,” of scoring points any way possible. A n o t h e r q u e st i o n wa s more direct: Does Helfrich have more confidence in Schneider now? “I would have had confid e n c e i n ( k i c ke r ) M att Wogan, too,” the coach added. But, “he (Schneider) has a good little streak going.” I t wa s n ’ t the most ringing endorsement of Schneider as the coach c o u l d g ive , but Schneider u n d e r st a n d s his situation SCHNEIDER as just one part of the 9-1 Duck team. He’s still in competition with Wogan every week to kick extra points and field goals — and the runnerup in the competition has been jettisoned to kickoff duty; Wogan kicked off at Utah. Like any competition, neither player can get too comfortable; Helfrich doesn’t want his kickers to get too noticed him in their offseason prep specialists camp. When Schneider decided to accept UO’s walk-on offer, Schneider set his mind to playing for the Ducks, even as some doubted him. “All of us wished him luck,” Grant soccer coach Manolis Aidan Schneider, Tjuanakis told the Tribune in September, after Schneider a freshman had his earned his spot on walk-on kicker from Grant High the team and kicked in who was more of games. “To be honest, I thought it was a long shot. a soccer player Usually the spots have to be for the Generals, recruited.
