Metro talks trash as area's waste piles up
Merry Christmas PortlandTribune THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2014 • TWICE CHOSEN THE NATION’S BEST NONDAILY PAPER • PORTLANDTRIBUNE.COM • PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND THURSDAY 2 014 : ST RAN GE BUT T RUE WAIT, WAIT. DON’T TELL ME! Y ear- end q uiz tests readers’ knowledge of P ortland- area newsmakers and events By PORTLAND TRIBUNE STAFF 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.

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., Portland Tribune Inside 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 See TRASH / Page 7 TRIBUNE PHOTO: JONATHAN HOUSE At the Metro Central Transfer Station in North Portland, people dump trash, where gleaners will come by later to see what can be recycled.

Here 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: ■ Cape Disappointment State Park, Ilwaco, Wash., 2006 ■ Fort Vancouver land bridge, Vancouver, Wash., 2008 ■ Sandy River Delta forest ecosystem, Troutdale, 2008 ■ Sacajawea State Park at the confluence of the Columbia and Snake rivers, Pasco, Wash., 2010 ■ Chief Timothy Park on the Snake River, Clarkson, Wash., 2015. 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.” [email protected] twitter.com/capitolwong JljkX`eXY`c`kp The ability to live “green” is easier than you might think. Fluorescent light bulbs. Wind power. Biodiesel.

Union fears may be crux of HQ hotel fl ap 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. Senat soon Senators may m hold little l sway U.S. Sens. Ro Wyden Ron Je Merkley and Jeff may be having a little trouble adjusting to the fact that they soon will be in the minority. Republicans will be in charge of the U.S. Senate when the new Congress convenes next year, costing Wyden and Merkley a lot of their clout. Despite that, Wyden sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Energy on Dec. 16 demanding that it clean up leaking storage tanks at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The letter sent to to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz asked the department to implement the recommendations of a recent General Accounting Office report he had requested. As a member of the Energy Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Wyden is correct to expect Moniz to listen to him. However, Wyden could lose that position in just a few weeks. Merkley recently announced a plan to greatly expand federal gay rights protections, but he was unable to convince the Senate to pass a narrower job discrimination bill when the Democrats held the majority. In fact, his Employment Non-Discrimination Act never even reached the floor for a vote.

Although Fritz did not respond to repeated inaid quiries, she said this would be her last term during and after her successful 2012 reelection campaign. However, that was when she planning to spend more time with her husband, Steven, who was killed in a car crash on Interstate 5 on Sept. 24. She also may need the salary. Fritz contributed $123,757 to her 2012 campaign and wrote it off when she closed the committee at the end of 2013.

FIRST EDITION TERRY BOYD’S 5am to 9am Monday-Friday 9am 5am to to Noon 9am Monday-Friday with Tim Hohl and Terry Travis WORLD 3pm to 6pm Monday-Friday 485947.120214 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. Fritz might run for City Council re- election after all { INSIGHT } A6 INSIGHT I 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.

Business and community leaders, as well as public officials, are working on 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? Dave Brook Northeast Portland 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. Brynn Riya Delaney Downtown Portland Attack empty houses Put health care money via property tax route where it matters most Regarding Peter Korn’s article (Abandoned houses signal disorder, but answers costly, Dec. 9): Have the property taxes been paid? Would the problem be reduced if the property tax laws were changed so it would take less than seven years for the county to foreclose and sell the property to someone who would put it to use? Gordon Hillesland Southeast Portland 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. Patrick Story Southeast Portland Beware of health care alternatives If you think something is expensive, just wait until it is free (Don’t pay for ‘nothing,’ fund universal care, guest column, Nov. 4). Some lessons are never learned. Chris Hawes Damascus 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. Gary Gipson Lake Oswego 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. Portland Tribune editorial board Submissions ■ J.

NEWS A7 The Portland Tribune Thursday, December 25, 2014 Students take stand on climate change Tracking energy use Catlin Gabel kids may be required 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.” to reduce emissions By PETER WONG Salem Bureau Catlin Gabel School students have more than an academic interest in a new report on the economic and environmental effects of a potential state tax on 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 TRIBUNE PHOTO: JONATHAN HOUSE Tony White pushes collected trash into a compactor at the Metro South transfer station in Oregon City. 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 THE ECONOMICS OF FILM THE DOWN AND DIRTY ON PORTLAND’S BURGEONING FILM BUSINESS BY KENDRA HOUGE 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.” GIFTICATES TIF LE CERVAILAB A Give the gift of light to someone you love!

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.

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 c h u r c h e s , S t .

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 w i l l c e r t a i n ly b e l e s s , ” 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 occasion.” 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 things we have to be mindful of — and I think it’s very easy to be blind to — is the number of from, is shameful,” he says. “In the Southwest community, we really have to open our eyes to see that at the same time the vast majority of us have full refrigerators and roofs over our heads, there are so many who don’t.” 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 — Daniel Isaak, Christian community.

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.

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.” Large case load The Commercial Crimes Unit keeps busy.

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 without a unit like the CCU taking the initiative. “Those guys are amazing,” Delmore said. “They are so diligent, and they do fantastic work in Tigard. The city is absolutely lucky to have them.” across their desks every month — everything from petty shoplifting to prostitution, drug issues, chop shops, counterfeit credit cards, burglaries, embezzlement, fraud and identity theft. “It’s a challenge for us,” McDonald said. “We’re at capacity for being able to investigate cases.

A free counseling and research program aims to help qualifying parents/guardians engage an unwilling son or daughter (ages 15 – 20) into a free drug treatment program. 287684.010108 This isn’t the first time in recent memory that a person or group from Southwest Portland has been the recipient of a Spirit of Portland award. The Ashcreek Neighborhood Association was honored in November 2012. By DREW DAKESSIAN Pamplin Media Group Consult the Service Directory in Don Baack is founder of Southwest Trails and recent 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.” For more information on SW Trails or to join, sign up for the mailing list, or become a sponsor, visit swtrails.org.

According to the city of Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement, which administers the award, recipients are chosen based on any of the following criteria: ■ Assisting in the implementation of outstanding projects ■ Enriching and revitalizing the community and neighborhoods ■ Providing the community with a special service ■ Demonstrating responsiveness, creativity and civic values ■ Raising cross-cultural awareness ■ Acting as good steward of the environment Baack, however, could be viewed as meeting all six of those criteria. The 77-year-old is the founder and president of SWTrails PDX , aka SW Trails, a nonprofit organization and community group that promotes walking and biking in Southwest Portland by: ■ Organizing group hikes and sponsoring a regular monthly hike ■ Staffing volunteer crews build and maintain trails in Southwest Portland ■ Working with city, county and state planners to develop Need Help? — SEE SPORTS, B8 BIG MAN, little playing time — SEE SPORTS, B8 THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2014 • TWICE CHOSEN THE NATION’S BEST NONDAILY PAPER • PORTLANDTRIBUNE.COM • PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND THURSDAY We want to be your printer!

NEWS A13 The Portland Tribune Thursday, December 25, 2014 Santa’s been very good to Portland auto buyers this year Trib auto writers pick their favorites among current crop of vehicles By JOHN M. VINCENT and JIM REDDEN For Pamplin Media Group TRIBUNE PHOTO: JOHN M. VINCENT The all-electric Fiat 500E is fun and green, a rare combo. Vincent’s Picks: 2015 Lexus RC-F. We had to wait a while for the replacement for the IS-F V-8 powered hot rod, but the patience was worth it. For 2015, they’ve launched the 467-horsepower RC-F coupe, and it is simply awesome. Lexus quality that’s light, nimble and viscerally energetic. Base price: $62,400. 2014 Fiat 500E. Fun and green are often mutually exclusive when it comes to your driving experience, but Fiat’s changing that calculus with their rockin’ 500e battery electric car. It’s a nimble rocketship around town with exceptional acceleration from its 111-horsepower electric motor. Base price: $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 Every year, Santa and his assistants leave about new 150 cars in our driveways and at special events for us to test and review. 2014 has been an exceptional year for the auto industry in the quality and design of their new vehicles, and the 2014 has been an level of sales that exceptional year they’ve achieved.

TRIBUNE PHOTO: JOHN M. VINCENT The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel can haul anything and is still EPA rated at 28 mpg. 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. TRIBUNE PHOTO: JOHN M. VINCENT TRIBUNE PHOTO: JOHN M. VINCENT 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.

THE YEAR THAT WAS IN LIVE MUSIC — Page B3 Weekend!Life SECTION B PortlandTribune THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2014 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.

MISC. Whale watching week ■ Seniors — all over 80 — sit down and start dancing By CAITLIN FELDMAN Pamplin Media Group 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.” Meet the Courtyard Rockettes One of the best periods to catch the migrating gray whales off the Oregon Coast is coming up, Dec. 27 through 31. For more than 30 years, trained volunteers with the Whale Watching Spoken Here program have helped visitors catch a glimpses of whales at 24 sites in three states in the Pacific Northwest. A good way to learn about things is by visiting with rangers at the Depoe Bay Whale Center in Newport. Check out the whale watching page on oregonstateparks.org.

Alberta Rose Theatre parties PAMPLIN MEDIA GROUP: JAIME VALDEZ 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- like (teaching) that ing Arts in Milmuch.

We didn’t get this way without practicing, and I’ve been doing this for 8 3 years.” 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 progressed, it was good for us to work together to form a little routine,” says Tallman, who grew up in North Portland and has been tap dancing since age 10. “I look forward to Friday mornings. It’s companionship, and doing something from my past that was missing.” Though Tallman attempted to keep dance a part of her life, she’d lost it in the past five years. September was her first foray back into it, and it’s given her something new to be excited about. The Courtyard Rockettes practice for 30 minutes every Friday morning and already have had their first performance with another planned for later this winter. Currently comprised of five members, they’re working on getting more interest and letting other residents know See DANCERS / Page 2 The venerable venue at 3000 N.E.

By JASON VONDERSMITH The Tribune 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. A summary of funded projects can be found at racc. org/2015projectgrants. RACC grants ‘ 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 COURTESY OF TRAVEL PORTLAND into a movie series — in St. Hel- Travel Portland’s 2 4 - foot- tall cuckoo clock is on display at Portland International Airport through March 2 0 15. ens.

SALE Dancers: Tap into early training ■ From page 1 DEC 26TH THRU DEC 31ST that it’s less of a dance group and more of a tap club, something that doesn’t need to be intimidating or scary. “They’re just reaching into their inner selves to do things that they’ve wanted to do,” Henry says. “I mean that’s what I was encouraging, for them to do things they wanted to do that they didn’t think they could.” Store will be closed New Year’s Day PORTLAND: 9701 SE McLoughlin . 503 /786 -1234 BEAVERTON: 5th & Western Ave . 503 /646 -3000 ‘ 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 that didn’t care how old its legs were. With her arms out, her feet kicking and a grin from ear to ear, Henry was dancing in the truest sense of the word. “I didn’t know I had this in me anymore!” she said. “I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m having fun!” Not only has leading the Courtyard Rockettes given Henry a newfound confidence you think you do in herself, it’s givhave a chance to reen her a drive.

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.

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.” HOW TO LIVE UNITED: JOIN HANDS. OPEN YOUR HEART. LEND YOUR MUSCLE. FIND YOUR VOICE. GIVE AN HOUR. GIVE A SATURDAY. THINK OF WE BEFORE ME.

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 PORTLAND TRIBUNE PUBLIC NOTICE 122514 Trib Info Box 0813 View legals online at: http://publicnotices.portlandtribune.com PUBLIC AND LEGAL NOTICES These notices give information concerning actions planned and implemented by attorneys, financial institutions and government agencies.

The Beavers are 10 - 0 and tied for No. 10 in the natonal rankings. Improving Beavers splash into top 10 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 the nation this season in fi eldgoal accuracy (6 8 .9 percent) and is fi rst in the Pac- 12 in blocked shots (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, COURTESY OF KARL MAASDAM 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.” [email protected] Twitter: @kerryeggers Helping Homes Look Their Best!

In 1978, he embarked on a long career as an NBA referee. He hung up the whistle after the 2007 NBA finals, then became vice president and director of officials for the league. 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.” ■ Plenty of Portland televisions will be tuned to ESPN for Tribune’sATHLETESoftheWEEK PRO Blazers Oregon State RUTH HAMBLIN, basketball — A 6-6 junior C from Houston, B.C., she helped the Beavers, ranked 14th last week, win 3 more games and move to 10-0.

Linfield remains the power of the Northwest Conference. It’s a different world on Palatine Hill, but Locey is eager for a new adventure. “It’s a great opportunity,” he says. “The administration has been real supportive. They think it’s important. “The other thing I’ve gathered from them and alumni, they feel a strong sense of, ‘Let’s go, let’s make something happen, we’re going to be with you.’ I’m really looking forward to it.” See EGGERS / Page 9 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 phase of it. (Players) will be better down the road, and everybody benefits.” The way Helfrich and his players responded to their loss to Arizona this year enabled Oregon to win the Pac-12 title. “You don’t ever want to find out how great you are coming back from that stuff (a loss),” Helfrich says, “but our guys handled it great.” Helfrich says he remembers addressing the Arizona loss right when the team got into its Autzen Stadium locker room, moments after the 31-24 setback. The talk in the Ducks’ locker room huddle was: “What are we going to do now?” Helfrich says. He says everyone took a proactive, constructive approach to moving forward. “We believe so much in what we’re doing. A bounce here, a play there that doesn’t go your way, and you lose to a top-five, top-10 team, and that happens,” he says. “Not only were players not pointing fingers, but in football a coach says, ‘You should have done this’ — that never happened. It was, ‘We need to do TRIBUNE PHOTO: JAIME VALDEZ Oregon Ducks coach Mark Helfrich, getting a sideline shower from receiver Keanon Lowe and other players, kept an even keel after the Ducks See UO / Page 11 lost to Arizona during the regular season.
