W
hat kind of a year was 2014?
It was a year when Oregon — and especially Portland — proved it was politically different from the rest of the country by re-electing incumbent Democrats
and increasing their control of the Oregon Legislature. That trend included reelecting Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, despite personal revelations about his fiancee Cylvia Hayes that turned the governor’s race into a soap opera.
It also was a year when Portland voters
overwhelmingly decided not to take away
control of the water and sewer bureaus
from the City Council, they continued to
complain about Water Bureau plans to
disconnect the open reservoirs, and
rolled their eyes about cost overruns at a
new Bureau of Environmental Services
building.
And don’t get us started about the
street fee or tax or fund — or whatever —
proposed by Mayor Charlie Hales and
Commissioner Steve Novick.
In fact, sometimes it’s hard to distinguish fact from fiction in the Rose City —
or real news from fake news. Take a stab
at answering the following questions
about Portland and Oregon news events
of 2014, and you’ll see what we mean. The
correct answers are on Page A11.
1. In 2 0 14 , Mayor Charlie Hales and the
city of Portland established a cozy relationship with which new company in the
“ sharing economy” ?

enables anyone to become a taxi driver

Metro talks trash as area’s waste piles up
P olicies under review
as ex p iration looms
on scores of contracts
By JENNIFER ANDERSON
The Tribune
A month after their “Let’s
Talk Trash” film festival, the
Metro regional government
is still talking trash.
In fact, the public will be
hearing much more about how
to overhaul the region’s trash
network in 2015.
Several hundred contracts
with companies that haul,
burn, recycle or bury solid
waste all expire in 2019. Metro’s
Solid Waste Roadmap (oregonmetro.gov) lays out various
options.
Earlier this month, the Metro Council directed its staff to
come up with a policy that evaluates landfill capacity available
to the region to guide decisions
about where the region’s waste
should be sent.
In a resolution, Metro Councilor Bob Stacey noted the concerns raised by farmers, business owners and residents in
Yamhill County during the past
few years about a proposed expansion of Riverbend Landfill
outside McMinnville.
The landfill, which is owned
by Waste Management, Inc.,

receives about 29 percent of the
Metro region’s garbage.
The Metro region’s garbage
makes up about 48 percent of
the incoming volume of waste
at Riverbend.
Waste Management anticipates that without an expansion, the landfill will run out of
room for more waste in two
years. Therefore, Waste Management is seeking approvals
to add another 15 years of capacity to the landfill.
“If we’re going to seriously
discuss reducing waste, why
should we invest in more landfill capacity for the region?”
Stacey asked.
Mike Dewey, a lobbyist for
Waste Management, told the
council his client did not
oppose Stacey’s proposal and
acknowledged that there is
plenty of landfill capacity in
the region.
But, he said, “for people who
want to close the landfill, this

When U.S. explorer William
Clark wrote in 1805 that “the
multitude of this fish is almost
inconceivable,” he could have
been writing about Celilo Falls,
which had been a prime fishing
spot for tribes on the Columbia
River. Their settlements dated
back 15,000 years, and Clark and
co-leader Meriwether Lewis noted their presence in the expedition’s journals.
The spot disappeared, however, in 1957 when the Army Corps
of Engineers completed The
Dalles Dam — two miles east of
the city — and the resulting
backwaters submerged the falls
and drowned the village of Celilo.
While the site was a natural
for the Confluence Project, which
Lin agreed to take on at the invitation of the tribes along the Columbia, they were initially reluctant.
“They said, ‘please, don’t
touch it; it might be seven generations before we can face it,’ ”
Lin recalls.
Five years later, after Lin had
completed public art work at
three other sites along the Columbia as part of the Confluence
Project, the tribes invited her to
take another look at the former
Celilo Falls.
“The fact that we could have a
conversation is part of what the
Confluence Project stands for,”
she says. “Sometimes it is not the
physical building that counts. It’s
about the ideas, dialogue and discussion that has taken place.”
After her City Club remarks,
Lin told reporters:
“It is not just a symbol. It is still
one of the sacred spaces to the
tribes. They know it’s still there
under the water. When we studied this, there was a lot of concern that it has been dynamited
— but it’s still there.”
In 2008, sonar readings by the
Army Corps of Engineers
showed that the falls remain intact below the artificial Celilo
Lake created by The Dalles Dam.
Lining up funding
The announcement of the $1
million gift to the Celilo Park
site by Arlene Schnitzer in honor of her son, Jordan, was made
by Thomas Lauderdale, leader
of the Portland-based band Pink
Martini. The gift also is in his
honor.
“The Confluence Project tells
this story and our family wants
to help support this project so
that other families will understand our heritage for generations to come,” Jordan
Schnitzer said in a statement.
The gift is in addition to commitments of $500,000 from the
Meyer Memorial Trust, $250,000
each from the Ford Family Foundation and the Collins Foundation, and $150,000 from the Oregon Community Foundation.
The Oregon Legislature has
approved $1.5 million, and the
federal government $3.7 million.
The project is still seeking $1.1
million in private donations and
$1 million in foundation donations for the $11.4 million goal,
which includes support for a
continuing education program.
Other public art sites in the
Confluence Project are complete, or nearly so:

Memory, not memorial
Lin did not go into detail
about her best-known works —
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, two black granite walls that
converge as a “V” on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.,
and the Civil Rights Memorial
at the Southern Poverty Law
Center in Montgomery, Ala.
Both were completed in the
1980s.
She talked about more recent
work, such as the Langston
Hughes Library in Clinton,
Tenn.; the Museum of Chinese
in America in New York’s
Chinatown, and Wave Field, a
series of mounds that she has
done in three places. The largest is an 11-acre installation at
Storm King Art Center in
Mountainville, N.Y.
But she says in all her works,
art should portray not just what
was or is, but what could be.
“To me, none of these memorials has been about loss,” she
says.
“These are ‘memory’ memorials. We learn from history —
and if we do not accurately remember our past, we cannot
learn from it in order to proceed
to our future.
“So none of my projects —
whether it’s the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Civil Rights Memorial, Confluence Project or
What Is Missing? — is chosen
with just the old idea about
what a memorial is. To me, that
(old idea) is that it’s done, and
we can’t change it. It’s really
about how we can affect and
change the future.”
Her latest work
At 55, Lin describes herself as
a designer, rather than an artist
or architect.
Aside from the Confluence
Project, her most ambitious project is not a single work but a
multimedia, multiple-place piece
called “What Is Missing?” A series of video and audio recordings tell about the disappearance of species and their habitats at a pace that has accelerated in recent years.
Some of those videos were put
on display in New York’s Times
Square in 2010.
Lin says the project is still
evolving, and while she describes it as “my last memorial,”
it is not intended to spread a
message of doom.
“Nature is resilient,” she
says. “If we give it a chance, it
can and does come back. But we
are moving so rapidly that we
are not giving nature a chance.”
New segments will be in the
form of “greenprint,” which will
offer practical suggestions for
people to carry out to improve
the environment.
“What can art do? Art can
imagine a different future,” Lin
says. “Sometimes I just think we
need to imagine it, and then we
can achieve it. People feel they
are a little helpless and nothing
they can do will make a difference. But that’s not what it is.”

Eat and drink yourself silly
Unlike Portland Food Adventure’s typical dinners, which
come in courses, with a menu,
the Barcelona dinners “will be
very casual, kind of a party, eating and drinking,” Angelus says.
“We have it in the budget to eat
and drink themselves silly. That’s
what Barcelona is.”
In Barcelona — one of the culinary capitals of the world — the
group will visit two of the region’s
most sought-after tapas restaurants: Can Jubany and Suculent,
with plans to visit Tickets, considered the French Laundry of
Barcelona.
“Most of our visits will encompass sharing of small plates, and
lots of them,” Angelus says. “We
want to let Jose do a lot of the ordering.”

A lawsuit in Los Angeles is shedding light on
the fight to prevent Metro from subsidizing the
construction of a headquarters hotel next to the
Oregon Convention Center, which it owns and operates.
According to a Dec. 17
story in The Wall Street
Journal, two national hotel groups are suing to
repeal the $15.37 minimum wage for large hotel
workers approved by the
L.A. City Council. The
wage is waived at hotels
with collective bargaining agreements with its
employees.
One of the groups supporting the suit is the
Asian American Hotel
Owners Association. It
also is fighting the con-
struction of the headquarters hotel, which
would be operated by Hyatt. Metro has required
Hyatt to accommodate a
union for its workers
as part of the deal.

From smoked trout to charcuterie, rabbit liver mousse to
fish sauce wings, Chris Angelus has, for the past five years,
been helping people live out
their foodie dreams, one dish
at a time.
Angelus is founder of Portland
Food Adventures, a sort of underground network that connects
diners to the city’s hottest chefs
and restaurants.
At about $125 per person, the
all-inclusive monthly dinners are
served family-style, with the chefs
talking about their dishes and occasionally mingling with guests.
But there’s a kicker: Only in
Portland would chefs recommend restaurants other than
their own. Each PFA dinner includes at least three gift cards
hand-picked by the host chef to
some of their favorite spots.
“I can never imagine any chef
on the East Coast agreeing to try
to send 40 people to another restaurant,” says Angelus, 56, who
moved here from Connecticut in
2005. “Only in Portland does everybody support everybody.”
Five years into his venture —
after about 40 restaurants, 130
gift cards handed out, and more
than a thousand happy guests
served — Angelus is now branching out, taking the concept international.
He’s just started selling tickets
for the first PFA dinner series
outside of Portland, in Barcelona,
Spain, next September.
Guiding the group of 16 or so
will be Angelus and Portland
chef Jose Chesa, of Ataula (ahTAU-luh, meaning “to the table”
in Catalonian), a modern tapas
restaurant in Northwest Portland
that opened in August 2013.
“There are so many events going on in Portland now, it’s hard
to do something different,” Angelus says. “This is something that’s
completely different ... It’s expanding the Portland food scene
to the roots of the chefs.”
The son of a chef, Chesa grew
up in Spain cooking with his father and grandmother, using local products like olives, ham and
seafood. He began traveling and
honing his craft at prestigious
restaurants like Arpége in Paris,
and the now-closed Can Fabes in
Barcelona and Fleur de Sel in
New York.
Now at Ataula, both the restaurant and Chesa have won “best
chef” and “best new restaurant”
accolades, quickly rising to the
top of the foodie worship ladder.

The Portland Tribune Thursday, December 25, 2014
Jobs report rosy, but there’s work to do
f you weren’t yet feeling that holiday cheer, here’s something to
boost your spirits: The Portlandarea economy is showing verifiable signs of sustained growth.
Two bits of evidence emerged in recent days to document the economic
progress being made in this region.
On Wednesday, Dec. 17, the Value of
Jobs Coalition released the latest in a
series of five reports tracking trends
in the local economy over the past
few years. In some
respects, this report was the rosiest of the bunch,
showing the metro area’s economy
adding jobs at a quickened pace.
The other piece of good news came
on Dec. 16 from the Oregon Employment Department, which reported
the state’s economy added 11,200 jobs
in November. That number far exceeded any previous month in 2014
and brought the state’s total employment to 1,740,800 — the highest level
ever.
The accelerated growth in employment has many positive side effects
for public funding of programs such
as K-12 education and health and human services. Oregon depends on income taxes to pay for government

Business and community leaders, as

all of the items on the above list. But
part of the solution is a matter of attitude. Are Portland-area residents worried about stagnating or declining
wages, and are they willing to support
initiatives that can help reverse the
trend?
In part, this means treating businesses large and small as a benefit,
not a detriment, to the community.
On that score, there’s lot’s of work
left to be done. But sometimes — especially this time of year — it’s also
important to recognize signs of success. The latest jobs reports show
positive momentum quite worthy of
celebration.
READERS’LETTERS
Solve homeless problem, don’t relocate it
T
hanks for a very
thoughtful and wellresearched article
(Where are Portland’s
broken windows?, Dec. 4).
What “broken windows” policing doesn’t address is why we
have so many people living on
the streets in the first place.
As far as I know, a lot of our
policing strategy involves
sweeps to push the homeless
into another neighborhood
when the political complaints
get too loud.
Yes, we have a 10-year homeless strategy and many fine organizations doing an outstanding job with the very limited
resources they have. But as
the article points out, we’ve
come to tolerate a much higher level of “disorder” than other cities.
From what I’ve read, other
research has shown that if you
give people the choice to have
housing or not, most will take
it and, for many, it will provide
the stability they need to get
their lives back together. So,
rather than crafting yet more
clever “sit-lie” ordinances,
why not adequately fund the
services that will get our fellow Americans back on their
feet?

Garden is a treasure;
neighborhood isn’t
I visited the Lan Su Chinese
Garden for the first time last
month and thoroughly enjoyed
the visit. The garden itself is
tranquil and well-tended. A stop
in the teahouse was the perfect
end to our wanderings (Where
are Portland’s broken windows?,
Dec. 4).
What was less than pleasant
was the surrounding neighborhood. There’s no nice way to say
this, but those handful of blocks
are a total disaster — large, nondescript warehouse-like buildings, trash and homeless people
blown into doorways in equal
measure. I didn’t feel all that unsafe — no one bothered us — but
the oppressive smell of urine was
definitely off-putting to say the
least.
I can see why more people
don’t want to go out there. However, in just a few blocks, the city
opens back up into something
more inviting and comfortable.
Going to that part of Old Town
feels a little like lifting up the furniture to find something you lost.
On the one hand, there might be
treasures you’d have missed, but
it’s often so choked with crud, it
makes you a little embarrassed
to have even looked under there.

Attack empty houses Put health care money

Regarding Peter Korn’s article (Abandoned houses signal
disorder, but answers costly,

would take less than seven
years for the county to foreclose and sell the property to
someone who would put it to

Developers have voice,
but citizens don’t
This article states that Portland’s Development Review
Advisory Committee is “comprised primarily of developers
and neighborhood representatives” (Neighborhood groups
say city demolition changes
need work, Dec. 2).
Sorry, but that is not the
case — 14 of the 17 members
are developers and clearly
have their business interests
in mind and not the communities. DRAC members absolutely fell short on the changes
they should have made, and
the fact that they are taking
away the 120-day delay is
proof. Mayor Charlie Hales
and city Commissioner Amanda Fritz need to do the right
thing and take the citizens’
recommendations, not developers’.
Rena Jones
Northeast Portland
Thank you for this reminder of the vast, tangled, restricted health care bureaucracy that we pay billions for,
rather than for our health
care itself, as they have long
had it in other rich countries
(Don’t pay for ‘nothing,’ fund
universal care, guest column,
Nov. 4).
We just keep paying millions of dollars in bonuses to
corporate CEOs and their lobbyists. And then they buy
more and more publicity for
themselves (see the Moda
Center here in Portland). Recently I received a co-pay bill
for lab work done almost a
year ago. I can’t remember
now what it was for — is that
part of the trick?
President Barack Obama
could have gone big for universal care, but instead left
us with this mess. We need a
true progressive leader to get
us out of it. I bet Elizabeth
Warren (U.S. senator, Massachusetts) could do it.

City’s comp plan draft Editorial misses on
is unsupportable
terrorist insurgency
Jim Redden’s informative article on the city land plan update (City land use plan update worries some neighborhood leaders, Nov. 11) includes
a comment from city staff that
suggests the state requires
that the comprehensive plan
precede the zoning specifications. This would be acceptable if the comp plan only contained guiding principles and
aspirations as it is supposed
to.
Unfortunately, this flawed
comp plan draft includes specific zone designations for specific neighborhoods. That
makes it impossible for citizens to evaluate the plan prior
to the definition of the corresponding zones and absurd for
citizens to accept the current
draft.
William Kielhorn
Southwest Portland
In your editorial (Voters
should demand better choices,
Nov. 6), you wrote, “And from
the far right came the unfounded claim that issuing
drivers’ licenses to undocumented immigrants (as proposed by Measure 88) would
increase the chances of
terrorism.”
I don’t know how you could
possibly label this as unfounded. One of the objectives of terrorist intrusions in the United
States is to obtain valid, or
what appears to be valid, identification. That allows for more
freedom of movement and a
certain security for their terrorist intentions. Though obviously not an intention of the
supporters of Measure 88, it
would have been a byproduct
of its passage.

DREAMSTIME ILLUSTRATION
Yes, Virginia, there
is a Santa Claus
EDITOR’S NOTE: In the
fall of 1897, an 8-year-old girl
wrote a letter to the editor of
the New York Sun, and the
response was printed as an
unsigned editorial on Sept.
21, 1897. The work of veteran
newsman Francis Pharcellus
Church has since been considered a classic, and history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial. The column has
appeared in its entirety or in
part in dozens of languages,
in books, movies and on posters and stamps. In a holiday
season often marred by controversy and conflict, this uplifting editorial celebrates
the true spirit of Christmas.
Dear Editor: I am 8 years
old. Some of my little friends
say there is no Santa Claus.
Papa says, “If you see it in
The Sun it’s so.” Please tell
me the truth; is there a Santa
Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon
115 W. 95th St.
Virginia, your little friends
are wrong. They have been
affected by the skepticism of
a skeptical age. They do not
believe except what they see.
They think that nothing
can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether
they be men’s or children’s,
are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere
insect, an ant, in his intellect,
as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of
truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus. He exists certainly as love and generosity
and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and
give to your life its highest
beauty and joy.
Alas! How dreary would be
the world if there were no
Santa Claus! It would be as
dreary as if there were no
Virginias. There would be
no childlike faith then, no
poetry, no romance to make
tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment,
except in sense and sight.
The eternal light with which
childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus!
You might as well not believe
in fairies! You might get your
papa to hire men to watch in
all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even if they did
not see Santa Claus coming
down, what would that
prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that is no sign that there
is no Santa Claus. The most
real things in the world are
those that neither children
nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the
lawn? Of course not, but
that’s no proof that they are
not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and
unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby’s
rattle and see what makes
the noise inside, but there is
a veil covering the unseen
world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived,
could tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry,
love, romance can push aside
that curtain and view and
picture the supernal beauty
and glory beyond. Is it all
real? Ah, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else
real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank
God! He lives, and he lives
forever. A thousand years
from now, nay, 10 times 10,000
years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart
of childhood.

pressure politicos
states, in contrast, are trying a
different approach in setting a
limit on greenhouse-gas emissions and allowing industries to
sell their emissions allocations
— a system known as cap and
trade. California’s system, however, is about two years old and
too new to draw conclusions.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, as
part of his next two-year budget,
has proposed a cap-and-trade approach that would tax and limit
carbon emissions. The limits
would be reduced gradually to
spur polluters to reduce emissions. Democrat Inslee estimates
$380 million from the new tax,
which would go toward transportation projects.
Washington has slightly different goals of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, by 25 percent below
1990 levels by 2035, and 50 percent
by 2050.
The projected increase would
equate to 12 cents per gallon of
gasoline, although the tax would
not be applied at the pump.
But the tax may be a hard sell
in the Washington Legislature,
where Democrats control the
House and Republicans the
Senate.
Lewis says a carbon tax and a
cap-and-trade system, even
though the approaches differ,
both have the same aim.
A pure cap-and-trade system
limits emissions, Brown says, but
the price of those limits fluctuates.
“A carbon tax would be more
stable economically,” he says.
“But in the end, as long as something is being done, it’s better
than nothing.”

City hopes to
improve commercial
buildings’ efficiency
By JULES ROGERS
The Tribune
Portland’s commercial
buildings today have no
requirements to track their
energy performance, but are
responsible for almost 25
percent of Portland’s carbon
emissions.
The largest carbon pollution
source in the city, commercial
building tenants spend more
than $335 million on energy
annually.
Last Thursday, the City of
Portland Bureau of Planning
and Sustainability officially
launched a new energy performance reporting proposal for
commercial buildings, hoping
to create awareness and transparency in energy-efficiency
improvements reducing carbon emissions.
“We want to move forward
with sustainability; we want to
do the right thing for Portland,” says Alisa Kane, Green
Building and Development
Manager with BPS. “We hope
to shine a light on high performers.”
If approved by the Portland
City Council in April, the new
policy will begin affecting commercial buildings more than
50,000 square feet in 2016, and
buildings between 20,000 to
50,000 square feet in 2017. The
policy covers offices, retail
spaces, hotels, health care,
higher education and grocery
store buildings.
Imitating successful similar
policies in the states of California and Washington and cities
including Boston and Chicago,
the proposed energy performance report will require
buildings to complete a threestep process.
First, building owners will
track their energy performances using Energy Star Portfolio
Manager, the industry standard with free online software.
Energy Star will help them calculate their official energy use
per square foot and their carbon emissions, scoring them.
Lastly, they’ll report the score
to the city to be uploaded to a
public database annually.
“This tool will allow participation in this to be something
that benefits the rest of our society,” says Renee Loveland, a
sustainability manager at
Gerding Edlen real estate,
whose company already has an
Energy Star score of 99. “This
is a great step in the right
direction.”
Currently only 80 buildings
already calculate their energy
use out of about 5,000 commercial buildings in the city. The
proposed investment will not
only promote the city’s sustainability, but will also lower building owners’ energy costs by an
average of 2.4 percent per year.
Not only will this new policy
provide incentive for energy
use tracking, but the program
will recognize efficient buildings, bringing awareness to the
market’s energy use.
Trash: Ban on food waste may be considered

raise rates just because you
can,’” Harrington said. She noted that leaders from Beaverton
and Washington County sent
letters expressing concern
about the potential effects of
diverting waste away from Riverbend on their communities’
garbage customers.
Harrington offered an
amendment to the resolution to
ensure that Metro looks at capacity at existing landfills —
and not just proposals for new
landfills or landfill expansions
— so as to create a “more level
playing field” in evaluating all
available landfills, not just
those proposing to create new
capacity.
The resolution, with Harrington’s amendment, was
passed unanimously by the
council.
Metro staff now will work to
craft policy language for the
Metro Council to codify in its
solid waste ordinances that
takes landfill capacity into consideration when approving future licenses for garbage haulers and transfer stations to
manage and transport the region’s waste.
Metro staff must provide the
recommended policy language
to the Metro Council by June
30, 2016.
Disposing of food waste
A large part of the waste
management discussion involves food waste.
Matt Korot, a manager in
Metro’s Sustainability Center,
said his department received
two directives from councilors.
He said the council wanted to

down in an oxygen-free environment, producing gases
that make electricity. What’s
left after processing can be
turned into fertilizer.
Currently, the region sends
some of its food waste to a digester in Junction City, 90
miles south of Portland.
Another facility, Columbia
Biogas, is planned along Columbia Boulevard in Northeast Portland.
It was approved after binding agreements with area
residents and Metro about
how many trucks could come
in and out of the facility, and
what would happen if foul
odors were detected by area
residents.
Korot says Metro would
have to clearly communicate
with residents about the impact of such a facility.
“You have to make it transparent for folks — what they’d
be getting in their neighborhood, how an anaerobic digester has no resemblance
other than the feedstock to a
composting facility,” Korot
said. “To have a fighting
chance, we’d have to demonstrate that it doesn’t bring
down the quality of life.”
Metro Council expects to
make a decision in the next
year or two.
“To me, the craziest thing,”
said Councilor Carlotta Collette, “is that we haul food off
to the desert when we do have
options.”

place to do it.”
Dewey said Waste Management already is applying for
permits with the Oregon Department of Environmental
Quality to expand the landfill.
He said DEQ has been monitoring the landfill and re-issuing
permits for more than 20 years.
“There have been plenty of
opportunities to close the landfill,” Dewey said.
If the Metro Council were to
decide to stop sending any garbage to Riverbend, nearly all of
that waste would be sent to Columbia Ridge Landfill, located
south of Arlington, about 150
miles east of Portland, per an
existing agreement with Waste
Management.
That agreement obligates 90
percent of the region’s wet
waste (the garbage that remains after recycling and recovery efforts) to be sent to a
Waste Management-owned
landfill until the end of 2019.
Waste Management also
owns and operates Columbia
Ridge.
Much of the waste that gets
sent to Riverbend is collected
from homes and businesses on
the west side of the region, and
diverting that waste to Columbia Ridge could pose increased
transportation costs that ultimately are borne by garbage
customers.
That raised concerns from
Councilor Kathryn Harrington,
who represents communities in
northern and western Washington County.
“I’m concerned about hearing a refrain, after today’s action, as to ‘Why are you doing
this? Why now? And don’t
look at whether a ban on food
waste would make sense in the
Portland region. Both Seattle
and San Francisco have instituted such bans.
But the council also wanted
options for financial incentives
for increased composting of
food waste, Korot said.
The council wanted staff to
“look at what the meaningful
options would be to financially
incentivize the separation of
food waste as an alternative to
a regulatory ban,” Korot said.
That could mean adjusting
the fees Metro charges for garbage and food waste, to encourage residents and businesses to
cut down on the amount of food
they put in the trash.
It also likely would involve
making it easier to send food
waste into the composting
stream.
But the city of Portland’s
curbside food waste composting has encountered problems,
like residents’ complaints
about odors from the compost
processing facility in North
Plains.
When the facility limited its
capacity for food waste, some
compostable food was sent
hundreds of miles into Washington. Finally, commercial
food waste was pulled from the
waste stream, making it less
noxious.
Metro officials this month
said they’re leaning away
from composting near the
Portland region as the key
way of managing food waste,
turning instead to another
technology — anaerobic digestion.
Unlike composting — which
turns into garden-friendly
compost — the digester process involves food breaking

By DREW DAKESSIAN
Pamplin Media Group
The holiday season, with
its undercurrent of holiness, is a time of spiritual
contemplation and engagement, when Portlanders
seek guidance from their
religious leaders. One is
Rabbi Daniel Isaak, of Congregation Neveh Shalom in
Hillsdale.
Isaak, a longtime resident
of Portland Heights, has
served Congregation Neveh
Shalom for 21 years.
“Although I was functioning as a rabbi in New York
state, this looked like a wonderful community and a wonderful place for me to bring
tation from one of the local

Church, that would like me to
come next month to an adult
program to talk about the
holiday of Hanukkah. So it is
both within the congregation,
within the community, and in
the general community as
well.”
Of course, all good things,
as they say, must come to an
end: the 66-year-old rabbi will
be retiring next year, making
this Hanukkah, the Jewish
Festival of Lights, his last in
his official capacity at the
synagogue.
“Retirement means that
my day-to-day duties here

he says, “but I will still (continue to) be involved in teaching and involved in the
community.”
Isaak offered spiritual
counsel this holiday season
as his congregation cele-
brates the eight-day commemoration of rededication
of the Temple by the Maccabees after their victory over
the Syrians.
“Every year, we have a Hanukkah gathering here in the
synagogue. It’s not very
much of a religious event; it
is much more of a social
event: We have dinner together, we light the Hanukkah candles together, and it’s
really an opportunity for everybody to come together on
one of the eight nights of Hanukkah.”
“ I t ’s a lways a h ap py

A happy occasion, he says,
and an important opportunity for reflection.
“I’ve watched the community, as everywhere else, increase
in its diversity, and one of the

When asked how his congregants — and Southwest
Portlanders, in general — can
best honor the spirit of the
season, Isaak says: “It’s different for us than for the

pushed back, again, to Jan. 14 at

this proposal we don’t know
what’s in it anymore, and we
dare you to figure it out, too. If
they had to sell it in front of the

yours: “I’m out.”
One other thought on the

is? Street FUBAR.

Uber once again will offer rideshare services without permits.
Gee, wonder what would happen if we refused to pay our
property taxes until the county

W hen J im D elmore first noticed appliances were missing
from his model home in T igard last year, he didn’ t ex pect
police to do much.
Delmore, a construction manager at Stonebridge Homes NW
in Lake Oswego, said it’s fairly
common for appliances to go
missing from his model homes.
“About once a year, something
would disappear — like a dishwasher,” he said.
He reported the thefts to police, who came out and took his
statement.
“That’s usually where it stops,”
he said. “Police come out, take a
report, and say that they will do
everything they can, but that’s
it.”
And in most cities across the
country, that’s likely all that
would have happened.
But that’s not T.J. Hahn’s style.
Hahn is a detective with Tigard Police Department’s Commercial Crimes Unit, a division of
the police department that has
exclusively investigated crimes
against local businesses since
2008.
The unit is thought to be the
only one of its kind in the country,
said Lt. Jamey McDonald, the
unit’s supervisor. Traditionally,
crimes against businesses are often lower priorities for police.
“Job-site thefts, in particular,
don’t really get investigated,” McDonald said. “Partially, that’s because they’re difficult to investigate and are time consuming, but
also because there often isn’t the
staffing level to do it.”
Microsoft’s Bing search engine revealed its predictions for
2015.
Turtlenecks will be in fashion
(glad we saved ours), hummus
will be the most popular food in
America (over our emaciated
bodies), “Boyhood” will win the
Academy Award for Best Picture, and Beyoncé will take
home the Grammy for Album of
the Year. It also predicts the Seahawks will not win the Super
Bowl (they won’t even be in it),
and that the Ducks will start
2015 by losing to Florida State.
Ouch. We thought Microsoft

Things are changing in Vancouver, Wash. They may not

Only problem, Seattle is on
Puget Sound; Vancouver is on
the Columbia River. So, while
our neighbors to the north are
tossing exotic swordfish and yellowfin tuna, what would our local fish mongers throw? Flying

Lt. Jamey McDonald returns a stolen oven to Bill and Gail Miller on
Wednesday, Dec. 17 . McDonald leads the Commercial Crimes Unit, a
division of the Tigard Police Department that specifi cally investigates
crimes against local businesses.
Hahn said business owners
who are victims of crime are often left feeling law enforcement
agencies don’t care about their
loss.
“There comes a point where
businesses get tired of calling the
police, because they feel that
nothing ever gets done,” Hahn
said. “We’ve learned that the
hard way.”
With more than 3,000 businesses scattered across Tigard, that
left a great deal of crimes going
uninvestigated, McDonald said.
The three-person team of McDonald, Hahn and Det. Gabriella
Schweitz hope to change that
perception.
“The truth is that the vast majority didn’t get investigated prior
to 2008,” McDonald said. “Everything we do is tied to the business
community, or generated from
the business community.”

stashed in storage units across
the Portland area.
That investigation continues,
McDonald said.
“Who knows what direction
the investigation will take, but
there will be more to come, for
sure,” he said. “If you had asked
us a month ago if we’d be able to
recover all those pieces, I’d have
said no. I don’t think anybody ever thought we’d ever get that
stuff back.”
The unit warned local homebuilders and neighboring police
departments about the thefts,
and soon, similar reports began
to flood in from Lake Oswego,
Happy Valley, Beaverton and
West Linn police departments, as
well as the Clackamas County
Sheriff’s Office.
Delmore said it likely wouldn’t
have been possible to arrest Darcy and return the stolen items

Don Baack is founder of

recipient of the Sandy Diedrich
Environemental Steward Award.
new walking biking opportunities in Southwest Portland, and
■ Advocating for more resources for these two alternative modes of transportation
and recreation.
When asked what winning this
award signified to him, Baack
said, “recognition of a major effort
by a group of people — SW Trails
folks — in working toward improving pedestrian and bicycle
environment in Southwest.”
Indeed, at the award ceremony, “We had about 15 people
there supporting us,” he said.
The Sandy Diedrich Environmental Stewardship Award,
as its name suggests, is awarded to Portland environmental
stewards. But what does supporting travel on foot and by
bike via routes previously inaccessible to pedestrians have to
do with environmental stewardship?
“I think it’s fair to say that
(as a result of SW Trails) the
walkability of Southwest has
improved greatly, and it’s
helped people be able to connect with nature, because most
of our trail routes connect to
nature areas,” Baack said. “Also, the trails group has worked
on improving the environmental area. We’ve had a project
we’ve been working on at Wilson for some time in terms of
improving the landscaping
there. We organize walks that
help people get out and see the
community.”
And it would seem that Baack
and his fellow trail-enthusiast
environmental stewards will be
able to continue their work for a
long time to come; the shortterm, at least is guaranteed.
“Mayor Hales tells me we got
$10,000 budgeted for the vote
that’s coming up next month
that will give us funds to do a
Safe Route to School for Robert
G ray (Middle School) between
Bertha (Boulevard) and Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, following up with a bridge.”
“SW Trails has an email list of
1,300 people, and we have 100
paid members, and quite a few
sponsors. Sponsors pay $100 a
month or more,” he said. “I’m just
a fortunate recipient of this largesse.”

$31,800, less federal tax incentives.
2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. A full-size
pickup that earns fuel economy of 28
mpg seemed like a fantasy not long ago,
but the engineers at Ram achieved it
with their 1500 EcoDiesel. Matched
with a great exterior design and the
best pickup interior anywhere, the Ram
has been raking in industry awards.
Base price: $30,215.
2014 Mazda3. Mazda’s a company
that has a proven ability to put great
driving dynamics in everything that
they build, and the 41 mpg Mazda3 is no
exception. With an athletic design and
agility to match, the Mazda3 is tough to
beat in the economy segment. Base

price: $16,495.
2015 Toyota Sienna. For years, Honda’s Odyssey has been the king of the
premium minivan segment, but with a
2015 refresh Toyota’s Sienna knocks it
from its lofty perch. Sienna offers a
great array of advanced safety and
driver assistance features, and is the
only minivan available with all-wheel
drive. Base price: $28,600.
Redden’s Picks:
2015 Chevy SS. A welcome return to
the fast Detroit family cars that featured big V8s, rear-wheel drive and
plenty of interior room. The exterior
styling is so subdued the police will
never suspect you’re driving a hot rod,
and the ride is much improved over the
old fashioned land yachts, too. Base
price: $44,775.

The Toyota Highlander is among the best of the new large crossovers.
TRIBUNE PHOTO: JOHN M. VINCENT
Don’t tell the youngster the Kia Soul is practical enough for grownups, too.
The Mazda3 proves an economy car can be fun to drive.
2015 Honda Accord Hybrid. A rare
hybrid that justifies its higher price by
being better than the commendable
gas-powered car it is based on. Honda’s
innovative Intelligent Multi-Mode
Drive (i-MMD) essentially uses one of
two electric motors for the transmission, producing instant acceleration
and contributing to an impressive 50/45
EPA rating. Base price: $29,305.
2015 Kia Soul. Although aimed at
young people, Kia’s quirky small wagon
is practical enough to appeal to adults,
too. Both the exterior and interior of
the Soul were redesigned to be a little
more grown up without losing its
charm. Perfect for trips to clubs and
garden shops. Base price: $15,100.
2015 Subaru BRZ. An inexpensive
back-to-basics sports car that emphasizes handling over acceleration, allowing more fun in day-to-day driving that
almost anything else on the road.
Largely unchanged from last year, but
that’s a good thing because so-called
“improvements” could undermine its
honest character. Base price: $25,695.
2015 Toyota Highlander. Car-like
crossovers are replacing even large
SUVs, and the Highlander explains
why. It looks imposing, but is easy to
drive, carries up to seven but get respectable mileage, and can be ordered
with all-wheel-drive for weekend trips
to mountain cabins. Base price: $29,415.
All these vehicles and more will be at
the 2015 Portland International Auto
Show, Feb. 5-8, at the Oregon Convention Center.

Duck fans
FLOCK SOUTH
TRIBUNE PHOTOS: JAIME VALDEZ
■ UO success means more team followers, ticket and retail sales
T
he Oregon Ducks are flying
south for the Rose Bowl, and
their fans are following in their
contrails.
The football program that has sold out
its home venue, Autzen Stadium, for 103
consecutive games expects a large turnout for the Jan. 1 game against Florida
State in Pasadena, Calif., and, if the
Ducks win, another large number of fans
attending the national championship
game Jan. 12 at Arlington, Texas.
Craig Pintens, senior associate athletic director for marketing and public relations, says UO’s Rose Bowl allotment of
12,500 tickets and an additional 4,000
tickets granted to the university already
have been sold. Historically, he says, Oregon and other Pac-12 schools attract
about 30,000 fans to the Rose Bowl, and
with the close proximity, UO should outpace Florida State in fan following.
“We know for sure we’ll have
16,500, but beyond that it’s hard to
predict,” he says.
The Ducks had an allotment of about
20,000 for the national championship
game, and Pintens says the response
— even before the Ducks qualify for
the game — has been outstanding,
with the allotment of 20,000 tickets for
season ticket holders and donors already nearly sold. “It’s seemingly a
once-in-a-lifetime type of experience,”
Pintens says, of a possible national
championship appearance — although
the Ducks played Auburn four years
ago for the title. “We’re confident
there’d be enough excitement.”
The concern among schools and College Football Playoff representatives has
been the stress on the fans’ pocketbooks
for the teams involved. Oregon fans already have been asked to spend money
on season tickets and donations, as well
as attend the Pac-12 championship game
in Santa Clara, Calif. — the Ducks were
well-represented at Levi’s Stadium,
much more so than Arizona.

Whale watching week
■ Seniors — all over 80 — sit down and start dancing
By CAITLIN FELDMAN

F
our pairs of tap shoes
pitter-pattered on the
wooden floor. Some
were well worn, others had hardly a crack in the
leather.
The dancers could have
been ages 14 or 84 — through
the shoes and the movements of their feet, it was impossible to tell.
The dancers made use of
their expressions, legs, feet,
arms and hands, just as all
dancers do — the difference
with this ensemble is the
performers are seated. And
they’re all older than 80, after all.
After the Courtyard Rockettes warmed up and ran
through their latest routine,
Ethel Henry stood up and
walked over to a potential
new member to help with
some of the basics. Tapping
takes time, she told her, and
lots of practice.
“Rome wasn’t built in a
day. We didn’t get this way
without practicing, and I’ve
been doing this for 83 years,”
Henry said to the class. “The
most important thing is you
have to smile all the time.”

Kicking around
Head of the Courtyard Rockettes, Ethel Henry (above, left) leads a tap dance routine with Anna Belle Tallman and others at Raleigh Hills’
Courtyard Village.
The Courtyard Rockettes
formed in September at Raleigh Hills’ Courtyard Village
retirement community, stemming from an idea conceived
by Henry and her granddaughter.
At age 87, Henry has
tapped off and on for most of
her life, but hadn’t been lately. She needed a way to get
back into it and get others
excited about it, as well. After the plan for her granddaughter to help teach fell
through, Henry reached out
to fitness coordinator Sherry
Summerville to see if she
could teach the group.
“They thought I taught
dance, but I literally don’t do
tap,” says Summerville, who
also owns Spotlight Perform-

Tallman, 88, eased her way
into the role of teacher assistant by her continuous suggestions for how to make the
routines better. With a few
months of working together
under their belts, Henry and
Tallman have become a
team, and neither will admit
to being able to teach the
group without the other.
“I was so excited and kept
waiting for it to start, but I
didn’t know who was doing
it. Then I met Ethel, and she
became our teacher. As we

The Regional Arts & Culture
Council has awarded $693,959 in
project grants for calendar year
2015, which includess 66 grants
to nonprofits and 80 to individual artists in Clackamas,
Multnomah and Washington
counties.
The city of Portland and
Work for Art were the biggest
contributors.
Forty percent of all proposals
received were from artists and
arts organizations that had never applied for RACC funding.
“RACC made a commitment
several years ago to finding and
funding more diverse and accessible artistic programs,” says Eloise Damrosch, executive director, in a news release.

‘ Twilight’ controversy
From the reporting of Mark
Miller of the South County Spotlight newspaper:
A St. Helens Tourism Committee meeting became the unlikely venue for a tense exchange between business officials from two communities
over a themed event.
Amanda Normine, a St. Helens Economic Development
Corp. member who is spearheading the Twilight in St. Helens group, was at the committee
meeting Thursday, Dec. 11, to
make a pitch for $10,000 in community grant money to support
a “Twilight” event next year in
St. Helens.
But Lissy Andros, executive
director of the Forks Chamber
of Commerce, participating in
the meeting by telephone from
Forks, Wash., was critical of the
idea of having Stephenie Meyer
Day — a celebration named for
the author of the “Twilight”
book series, which was adapted

‘ I dance’
While Henry has helped
bring this out of those she’s
teaching, doing so also seems
to have brought it out of herself. At the end of class, she
stood up to demonstrate a
particular step, which turned
into a demonstration of an-
other step and then another.
Before long, Henry was tap
dancing for real.
“It’s just me, I don’t know,”
she said shortly before displaying her years of built-up
talents. “Wherever I am,
whatever I do, I dance.”
It wasn’t a dance one might
expect to come from an
87-year-old — it was a dance

her feet kicking and a grin
from ear to ear, Henry was

Live music had Portland rocking in 2014
LiveMusic!
By ROB CULLIVAN
Pamplin Media Group
I
f you’re a fan of hearing
music live, 2014 offered an
eclectic selection of
chances to do so in
Portland and its surrounding
areas.
Northern Irish band Ash
came to the Doug Fir in January and got very loud with an
audience of die-hards who
knew all the great tunes
American radio never plays.
In February, Ahmad Jamal,
Wynton Marsalis and Pat
Metheny headlined the Portland Jazz Festival. Highlights
included a live performance of
Portland pianist Darrell
Grant’s “The Territory,” a onehour jazz suite inspired by Oregon’s history and landscapes.
Led by Norman “The Boogie
Cat” Sylvester, several local
blues musicians put on a benefit in March for the statewide
coalition Health Care for AllOregon, which is fighting for a
single-payer health insurance
system. The Melody Ballroom
was filled with an enthusiastic
crowd of dancers who cut the
rug to such groups as the Too
Loose Cajun & Zydeco Band,
The Duffy Bishop Band and
The Strange Tones.
April saw the Soul’d Out
Festival feature a number of
riveting shows, including one
by Guitar Shorty. The master
axeman turned an at-first
somewhat reserved crowd into
a frenzied one by the end at
Mississippi Studios when he
put on one of the most soulful,
rockin’ blues shows this town
has ever seen, refusing to
leave until everyone was on
their feet.
In May, Cage the Elephant
and Foals landed a one-two
punch of festive rock on the
crowd at the Crystal Ballroom.
The month ended on a sad
note, however, when Janice M.
Scroggins died. One of Portland’s most in-demand blues,
ragtime, jazz and gospel pianists, Scroggins’ playing is
sorely missed.
June saw Guided By Voices
roll through town, while Portland’s Michele Van Kleef and
COURTESY OF MICAH REESE
The band Weezer, including Rivers Cuomo (above), played the Roseland Theater recently, performing its new album “ Everything Will Be Alright In
The End” in its entirety.
Brian Copeland released new
records. Meanwhile, thousands of punks, young and old
alike, danced in the hot sun
and got their ears blistered in
the Expo Center lot by such
bands as Every Time I Die and
The Ghost Inside at the Vans
Warped Tour.
The Waterfront Blues Festival took center stage in July,
drawing such acts as Los
Lonely Boys, Los Lobos, Charlie Musselwhite, Maceo Parker
and Commander Cody. Gregg
Allman canceled his appearance, disappointing many, but
singer-harmonica-player Curtis Salgado stepped in to take
his place and put on one of the
hottest sets the outdoor party
has ever seen.
In early August, X, Jonathan
Richman and Warpaint
thrilled crowds at Pickathon in
Happy Valley. Later that
month, Spoon, Girl Talk, Run
the Jewels, tUnE-yArDs and
Future Islands were among
the acts that took the stage at
MusicFestNW, which marked
its first year as a primarily
outdoor festival at Waterfront
Park, departing from its previous format as a clubs-only
event.
September saw the debut of
yet another outdoor music festival, as Pabst Blue Ribbon unveiled its two-day event at Zidell
Yards, featuring such acts as
The Thermals, Modest Mouse,
GZA and Tears for Fears. The
Violent Femmes’ bassist Brian
Ritchie brought the house down
when he noted his father gave
up drinking PBR after 30 years,
on doctor’s orders, and then
met his maker the next day. “So
the moral of the story is, drink
Pabst or die,” Ritchie said.
In October, The Dandy Warhols, Pink Martini and Barry
Hansen, better known as Dr.
Demento, were among the latest inductees into the Oregon
Music Hall of Fame. The event
was tinged with sadness, however, when popular soul and
gospel singer Linda Hornbuckle
— and Scroggins’ collaborator
— lost her long battle with cancer just days beforehand. Hornbuckle left behind a legacy of
moving performances as well as
too many friends to count.
November brought more sad
news when one of the underground rock scene’s most iconic clubs, Slabtown, closed its
doors. Meanwhile, Portland’s
folk-pop-rockers Ages and
Ages, Deke Dickerson and the
rootsy Los Straitjackets and
country phenomenon Sturgill
Simpson all drew appreciative
crowds in town.
The year ended on a high
note for fans of Weezer, when
Rivers Cuomo and company
came to the Roseland Theater
and played their new album in
its entirety, “Everything Will
Be Alright In The End.” We can
only hope.
New Year’s Eve
The year continues this
week, culminating with New
Year’s Eve. Here are some sug-
gestions for New Year’s Eve,
Wednesday, Dec. 31.
■ It will be a nonstop dance
party when The Motet bring its
progressive blend of funk, Afrobeat, disco, jazz and soul to the
Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W. Burnside St., at 8 p.m. The Colorado
band put on an incredible midnight show at the Northwest
String Summit last summer.
Polyrhythmics share the bill,
along with DJ Weather. $26 in
advance, $30 at the door. Info:

■ Jorma Kaukonen and
Jack Casady of Hot Tuna (as
well as of Jefferson Airplane/
Starship) play the Aladdin Theater, 3017 S.E. Milwaukie Ave.,
at 9:30 p.m. $75 in advance, $80
at the door. Info: 503-234-9694,

■ The funky versatile Scott
Pemberton Trio ring in the
new year at 10 p.m. at the Goodfoot, 2845 S.E. Stark St. $16 in
advance, $18 at the door. Info:
503-239-9292, thegoodfoot.com.
Fans:
■ From page 1
“I do think that’s tough for
fans to go to all three,” Pintens says. “That was one of
the main concerns when this
was launched, and why ticket
allotments came down significantly.”
The thing is with the recent
national success of Oregon,
combined with years of marketing nationally, the Ducks simply have more fans. Pintens
says games in other regions,
such as the Ducks playing at
Virginia last year, attract fans
who might not be able to attend
games at Autzen Stadium or at
Pac-12 stadiums.
So more fans means more
opportunities to fill allotments
and stadiums with green and
yellow, and not just with folks
from Portland, Eugene and
Medford.
The Ducks have surged to
near the top in national branding, as evidenced by merchandise sales — Pintens says the
Ducks are on pace to have their
best December ever. No doubt
the Ducks making the national
playoff, combined with Marcus
Mariota’s Heisman Trophy glory, has increased the Ducks’ following. It’s not lost on the
Ducks that they find themselves in the CFP with Florida
State, Alabama and Ohio State
— multiple national championship programs and three of the
most popular teams in the
country.
Just think what winning it all
would do.
“If you’re to win the Rose
Bowl and advance to the championship game, you’ll have
more people interested,” Pintens says. “If you’re to win a
championship, you go to the
stratosphere in terms of retail.
You’re talking about something
that hasn’t been done. Typically, it puts you at No. 1 in terms
of licensing retail sales.”
But being in the national
playoffs is a big deal itself, and
winning the championship
would culminate years of
building from everybody involved with the Oregon Ducks.
“We’ve gotten so close climbing up that mountain. We can
see the top of it, but we haven’t
been able to get to the top and
see what’s on the other side,”
Pintens says. “We’ve heard
about it. It’s a special thing for
fans, the journey they’ve been
on.”

Eggers: Locey plans major recruiting push
■ From page 12
The Lewis & Clark administration’s support has been
in question in the past. Lack
of financial packaging often
has made it difficult to attract quality football talent,
and admission requirements
can be a challenging piece of
the roster-building equation,
too.
But there is a growing appreciation for the unifying effect football can have on a
college campus.
Barry Glassner, hired as
university president in 2010,
dean of student life Anna
Gonzalez, and new athletic
director Shana Levine are
among those working to
make the program successful
and relevant, at least on a regional scale.
“There was a time when
football wasn’t a priority for
the institution,” says Levine,
35, Lewis & Clark’s AD since
July. “It is
now.
“We want to
make football
more competitive. It’s an
important
program for
the college.
Jay is the
LEVINE
right choice to
lead our program into the
next chapter.
I’m excited to
have his leadership on
board.”
Jon Jaqua,
who has been
on the L&C
Board of
ROCHON
Trustees for
several years
and was involved in the interviewing process in hiring Locey, has a unique perspective.
Jaqua, 66, starred under Fred
Wilson and is the only Pioneer to have played in the
NFL (Washington, 1970-73).
Jaqua is a successful businessman, with homes in Portland and Eugene, and believes his alma mater is
ready for a major change.
“More than anything, it’s
philosophical,” Jaqua says.
“A problem has been not
staying current with your
ability to compete as you
raise your academic standards. When you’re in Division III, with no athletic
scholarships, you have to
change strategically. I don’t
think Lewis & Clark has done
that.
“But we are committed to it
now, with the president we
have and other aspects that
will affect the program in a
positive way.”
One of those aspects is better use of the school’s multicultural grants, based on
need, for minority students.
The NWC schools that are
similar to Lewis & Clark in
terms of academic standing
as well as price tag — Willamette and Puget Sound —
use such programs.
“The reality is, Lewis &
Clark is behind the 8-ball,
and it’s not something Jay
will turn around in a year,”
Jaqua says. “It’s not just the
football coach here. Everybody else has to buy into this
approach. And there has to
COURTESY OF LEWIS & CLARK COLLEGE
Jay Locey, who enj oyed plenty of success at Linfi eld during 2 3 years with the Wildcats, including 10 as head coach, says one of his top priorities at Lewis & Clark will be adding
numbers to the program — with 4 0 or more freshmen nex t season, if possible.
be some success on the fundraising side for scholarships
and facilities.
“For parents with kids who
are high academic performers
as well as good athletes, there
is an attraction to a college
like Lewis & Clark. When you
have the capability to provide
a variety of scholarships for
talents the kids may have —
whether academic or meritbased or to increase diversity
— it’s an approach that can be
beneficial.”
There were 58 players on
Lewis & Clark’s roster this
fall, with about 40 of them eligible to return. Locey wants
to get the squad number to 80
for next season.
“You have to recruit numbers,” Locey says. “I’d like to
get a group of 40-plus freshmen in. I’ve talked to the
(current) players. They’d like
to have a larger crew.
“We’ll push our strong
points — the opportunity to
play right away, a fresh start
with a new program. I want
to say we’re going to have a
very competent coaching
staff. Strong academics, a
beautiful campus and venue.
“ He’s the kind of guy you
want to run a program.
He had a remarkable run
as head coach at Linfi eld,
and he made a big impact
with our program at
Oregon State, fi rst as a
coach, then with our life
skills program.”
—
Mike Riley
... Lewis & Clark is an incredible place.”
Locey is putting together a
staff, using his connections at
Oregon State and Linfield for
starters. He also will interview some of the members of
Solages’ L&C staff.
The 2014 Pioneers, with
freshman quarterback Cody
Rochon, used the spread
offense, often utilizing four
receivers.
“That’s probably the starting point for us next season,”
Locey says. “You go with
what you’ve got that first fall.
Then we’ll see what we can

Locey says much of what

High teammate Riley during
their nine years together at

“I had a great tenure at Oregon State, and I learned a lot
from Mike, both as as a position coach and in terms of player development, life skills and
job networking — the beyondfootball stuff,” Locey says.
“Those were some really good
things I’ll be able to apply at
Lewis & Clark.”
The Pioneers hope he’ll be
able to lead them to victories
on the football field, too.
“The experience and success
Jay has had, and the exposure
to football at a much higher
level in the Pac-12, has us excited,” Jaqua says.
“He has proven himself over
a number of years,” Jaqua
adds. “We need some real leadership to change the performance in this program. It’s
been in such dire need. I think

Guard Jamie Weisner (above) and Sydney Wiese form a starting backcourt for Oregon State that is averaging a combined 2 5 points, 8 .3 rebounds and 8 .3 assists per game and shooting 50 .0 percent from the fi eld (4 6 .9

Trip to Tennessee
next challenge before
run at Pac-12 title
By KERRY EGGERS
The Tribune
The good news: Oregon
State moved into a tie for 10th
place in the Associated Press
women’s basketball poll this
week, matching the team’s
highest ranking ever.
The bad news: Just ahead of
them in ninth spot was North
Carolina, a team the Beavers
thumped 70-55 at Chapel Hill last
Tuesday.
So maybe the nation’s pundits
aren’t totally buying into Oregon
State (10-0), one of the five teams
left standing as undefeated in the
country.
Doesn’t matter to Scott Rueck,
who in his fifth season as OSU’s
coach has built a program that
may have national championship
contention in its near future.
“We’re learning that this is a
team that loves every challenge,”
Rueck says. “I always care about
how well (the players) get along,
and they love each other. So it’s a
sustainable group that will maintain a high level of focus. They’re
not going to have a lot of bad
days. And they keep getting better.”
The Tar Heels were 9-0 and
ranked No. 6 when Oregon State
made the cross-country trek for
the colossal intersectional matchup last week. The Beavers
jumped on them early and never
let up, 6-6 junior Ruth Hamblin
leading the way with 17 points, 10
rebounds and five blocked shots.
Oregon State then moved on to
New Orleans, where victories
over Southern Illinois (71-55) and
Nevada (73-50) kept them on
course for a top-10 ranking.
“I loved what we did on the
trip,” says Rueck, whose Beavers
finished 24-11 and lost to South
Carolina in the second round of
the NCAA Tournament last season. “It was successful on many
levels. (The players) rose to the
Ruth Hamblin,
Oregon State’s
6 - 6 center, leads

season in fi eldgoal accuracy
(6 8 .9 percent)
and is fi rst in the

(3 .4 per game).
COURTESY OF
SCOBEL WIGGINS
challenges back there.”
In 2010, Rueck took over a program left in shambles by his successor, LaVonda Wagner. Oregon
State was to finish 9-21 that season, but one of two Pac-12 victories was a keeper — a 61-59 Civil
War win over Oregon in which
the Ducks led by 20 points at halftime.
“Everything is relative,” Rueck
says. “That was a signature win
for our program at the time. It
gave everybody hope for the future. It helped with recruiting.
“The North Carolina game is
similar. It’s significant. It’s a statement win, one that can take your
program’s trajectory to the next
level. Our team can view ourselves a little differently now. We
truly can not only play with anybody now, we can beat them.”
The triumph over Southern Illinois was made more difficult by
the first-half ejection of Rueck,
who came to the defense of Deven Hunter after the 6-3 forward
was given a technical foul for
dropping the ball instead of handing it to the official.
Rueck objected to the technical, was meted two quick T’s himself and handed the second ejection of his tenure at OSU.
“I didn’t feel we were playing
great, so I was a little frustrated,
anyway,” Rueck says. “There
were a couple of calls I didn’t
agree with. One thing led to another, and the next thing I knew, I
was in a locker room.
“It was weird. I don’t condone
what Deven did — dropping the
ball because she didn’t agree
with the call (a foul on teammate
Ali Gibson). She should have
been given a delay of game, or a
warning. But this official chose to
give her a technical. That’s what I
questioned.
“I told him, ‘In 19 years as a
head coach, I’ve never seen a
player given a technical for tossing the ball away.’ She didn’t
throw it at somebody or into the
bleachers. I mean, no way is that
a technical foul.”
After sinking six straight free
throws, the Salukis had an eightpoint lead. The Beavers whittled
the difference to two at halftime,

Scott Rueck (right), in his fi fth year as coach of the Oregon State women’s basketball team, has the
Beavers climbing in the national rankings as they prepare for a Sunday clash at No. 8 Tennessee, which is
9- 2 and coming off a 59- 4 0 win at home over Stanford
then took care of business in the
second half.
“Great job by the players of
coming out and playing our style
of basketball,” Rueck says. “And
by our staff of taking over and
running the team in the second
half.”
The Beavers are led by a pair
of All-America candidates in
Hamblin, who leads the nation in
field-goal percentage (.689) and
ranks 12th in blocked shots (3.4),
and Sydney Wiese, the 6-foot
sophomore point guard who is
eighth nationally in 3-point percentage (.517) and 13th in assists
(6.0).
“Ruth has taken her game to
another level efficiency-wise,”
Rueck says of Hamblin, who
leads the Beavers in scoring (14.0)
and rebounds (8.9) despite playing only 21.4 minutes per game.
“She started the year knowing
who she is offensively, and she’s
added to the game on that end.
Defensively, she continues to be
who she is — as imposing a force
as there is in our sport. She was
the key to the game against North
Carolina. She started the game
with so much poise offensively.
“Sydney is just a great player,
and she has such an elite mindset. She wants to be so good. She
is constantly improving. Our expectations for her are huge, and
she embraces that. Everybody
knows she’s a 3-point shooter, but
she’s becoming more of a playmaker, and her defensive intensity and execution at that end are
night and day from where they
were a year ago.”
Then there is Hunter, the
McNary High grad who scores,
rebounds, passes and defends.
“I refer to her as our ‘X factor,’” Rueck says. “When Deven
brings her ‘A game,’ we’re tough
to beat. She’s the best athlete on
the team, and she impacts the
game at both ends in so many
ways. Her rebounding in the second half against North Carolina
was the difference. She scored
on three putbacks that helped us
separate and hold off a (Tar
Heel) run.”
There is little rest for the Beavers. Before they open Pac-12
play at UCLA on Jan 3, there is
another huge intersectional on
Sunday — against eighth-ranked
Tennessee at Knoxville, Tenn.
The Volunteers “are similar to
North Carolina,” Rueck says.
“They’re extremely athletic.
They love transition and are
great on the offensive glass. It’s
another huge test, one we’re all
looking forward to. I think it will
get the best out of us.”
It’s early, but Rueck has a
good feeling about the 2014-15
Beavers.
“We can shoot better. We can
add some things defensively.
There are a few more steps we
can keep taking,” Rueck says,
“but I’m excited to see where we
can go.
“We play in a conference that
continues to improve, top to bottom. I hope we’re at the top when
it finishes.”

History
Dec. 25-30, 1965
Oregon State continues its domination of the Far West Classic men’s basketball tournament, an annual holiday
tradition at Memorial Coliseum.
The Paul Valenticoached Beavers
defeat Air Force,
Arizona State and
Stanford, in that
order, to win the
eight-team affair for
the 10th year in a row
and run their win
streak in the tourney
VALENTI
to 27 games.
In the final, played
before a crowd of 12,218, 6-5 sophomore Loy Petersen scores a game-high
30 points as OSU takes control early
against the Cardinal.
Petersen makes the all-tourney team
along with four others, including
Michigan guard Cazzie Russell, whose
91 total points beat the FWC record for
three games of 89 set by Oregon State
center Mel Counts in 1963.
The Oregon Ducks’ hopes take a hit
a few hours before their opening game,
a 77-66 loss to Utah State, as guard
Jim Barnett is lost for at least two
weeks when a teammate slams a door
on his hand at the Benson Hotel.
Barnett loses two fingernails.
UO: Ducks have big lag before Rose Bowl
■ From page 12
this, we need to do that.’”
The response was that positive, he says, because “across the
board, in every phase, our program is a program and a team.
That’s important.”
Now comes the Jan. 1 Rose
Bowl final four matchup between
the No. 2-ranked Ducks and Florida State, which is an imposing
(13-0, defending national champion) No. 3 seed.
FSU has played a lot of close
games this season, but has survived every test to run its winning streak to 29 games.
Helfrich’s take on star quarterback Jameis Winston and the
Seminoles: “A lot of times against
a team like Florida State and its
talent, (opponents) are going to
do something a little different. Or
(FSU) will get every single team’s
best shot, best week of preparation, most dialed in sense of urgency of meetings, everything in
that week when you’re trying to
knock off No. 1. When you’ve
won 29 straight, people are dialed
into that.
“So it’s been that much more
impressive the way they’ve been
able to come back (in games).
Usually it’s (Winston) making a
couple plays down the stretch.”
■ The Ducks have pulled out
a few wins, too, or simply come
on strong to beat teams in the
second half. They’ve done it
largely behind the arm and legs
of Mariota.
With Mariota in the backfield,
the most to benefit this year has
been freshman running back
Royce Freeman. Freeman
couldn’t have asked for a better
college quarterback to play with,
and he beamed with pride after
Mariota won the Heisman in
New York City.
“We were all proud of him. We
knew he deserved it,” says Freeman, who could be a Heisman
candidate in the near future.
“He’s the best out there, in our
opinion, a great guy on and off
the field, none better.
“It was great, coming here my
first year. All these things happening for the University of Oregon football-wise are special.”
Adds Byron Marshall, the
Ducks’ backup running back as
well as starting slot receiver: “He
deserved it. It’s such a blessing to
be named the best football player
in America. Marcus is all about
humility.”
■ How do the Ducks prevent
the layoff of nearly an entire
month from affecting their offensive tempo, rhythm and timing?
“We practice better every
day,” Marshall says. “It’s a cliche,
but stay on top of the little things,
stay on top of each other, don’t let
each other get lazy.
“We’ve got a goal ahead of us,
we can’t slack off right now.”
■ Recently elected to the National Football Foundation Hall
of Fame, ex-Oregon coach Mike
Bellotti (and current ESPN analyst) has some thoughts on the
Ducks’ chances against Florida
State:
“I think it’s a very good
matchup for Oregon. Both
teams with exceptional quarterbacks. (Mariota) has been a little bit more consistent. Jameis
might still be the best quarter-
back in the fourth quarter to
have if you’re behind. Unfortunately for Oregon, Florida State
has probably discovered a running game (with Dalvin Cook)
and is playing a little bit better
defense, with the exception of
this last game, against the
(Georgia Tech) option.”
He concludes: “But Oregon’s
offense is practically unstoppable. There’s some other issues
about defense they’ll have to
overcome for this game, but I
think it’s a great matchup and
one I’m going to be excited to
see.”

Helfrich turnaround puts doubts to rest
Losses always light
new fire under
Duck coach, team
By JASON VONDERSMITH
The Tribune
EUGENE — A lot of public
and media criticism was directed at Oregon coach Mark
Helfrich after the Ducks
dropped two games last year
to fall out of Pac-12 and national title contention and
then lost to Arizona at home
in early October.
A few media pundits speculated on whether Helfrich could
handle being the UO head man.
Now the Ducks are 12-1, with
the school’s first Heisman Trophy winner (Marcus Mariota)
and are getting ready to play in
the national semifinal against
Florida State, with a chance
to play the Alabama-Ohio
State winner for the national
championship.
Helfrich took ownership after
the losses, including the Arizona
defeat. Some coaches use that
tactic to deflect criticism away
from their players.
“In general, I firmly believe
that bad stuff belongs to the
coaches and good stuff is
because of the players and the
assistants,” Helfrich says. “That
will never change. That’s just
how I’m wired.”
And, he adds, “it’s because it’s
true. Execution is on players; it’s
also coaches, coaching every
