Who’s in? Who’s out? Blazers begin to form nucleus— SEE SPORTS, B12 PortlandTribune THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2015 • TWICE CHOSEN THE NATION’S BEST NONDAILY PAPER • PORTLANDTRIBUNE.COM • PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND THURSDAY Letter outlined legal case against Hayes and Kitzhaber Richardson sought conspiracy, fraud probe prior to election By JIM REDDEN The Tribune community, with traffic and noise and other changes. Grenz — who lives nearby and has three children who attend schools that feed into Roosevelt — wants to build on the school’s positive momentum during this physical phase of its transformation. “It’s going to be a shiny new school, but won’t stay that way forever,” he says. “What are we going to do to sustain this momentum, improve graduation rates and bring better programs? Just because we have a new school doesn’t mean it’s going to change overnight.” Grenz started using the Twitter hashtag #WeAreRoughRiders three years ago to try to rally the community, as well as document the school’s athletic and academic achievements via social media. He isn’t the only one trying to cement the bridge between school and community. “It’s a big deal trying to rebrand Roosevelt,” says Mike Verbout, a Roosevelt Alumni Association leader and longtime school and North Portland activist. “We decided this (‘Last Game’ event) could be another major piece of the rebranding.” Trying to pack the gym for Dennis Richardson told you so. Two weeks before the 2014 general election, Richardson accused Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber and his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, of breaking federal anti-corruption laws. Richardson, the Republican nominee for governor, made his accusation in a 13-page letter to Oregon U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall calling for a federal investigation. The Kitzhaber campaign accused Richardson of “an obvious political stunt” and Kitzhaber went on to defeat him on Nov. 4 by 49.8 to 44.2 percent. But now, a little more than three months after the election, Kitzhaber has resigned amid such accusations and a federal investigation of him and Hayes is underway. Remarkably, a federal grand RICHARDSON jury subpoena issued by Marshall’s office shortly after Kitzhaber announced he would resign on Feb. 13 closely tracks the accusations laid out in Richardson’s letter — even though it was written nearly four months earlier. The subpoena demands documents from state agencies related to Kitzhaber, Hayes and seven organizations associated with Hayes. Only two of those organizations were not mentioned in Richardson’s letter. But more than that, the letter outlined the legal case the federal government may very well be pursuing. Although Marshall’s office will not say anything about the investigation, the letter lays out reasons to believe Kitzhaber and Hayes committed what is called “honest services” fraud by allowing money — in this case, payments to Hayes by the organizations — to influence government decisions. Related crimes outlined in the letter include bribery, money laundering and conspiracy. Richardson is not claiming sole credit for the federal investigation. In fact, he says the accusations in the letter were based entirely on news reports about Hayes’ business dealings that had been published at the time. But the letter pulled them all together into a coherent narrative that lends credence to the fraud allegation. “The thoroughness of the letter, I believe, contributed to the federal investigation that is See ROOSEVELT / Page 4 See LETTER / Page 2 TRIBUNE PHOTO: JONATHAN HOUSE Roosevelt Hight School basketball players warm up during the last home game in their current gym.

Mayor Charlie Hales couldn’t attend, due to a last-minute conflict. Nonetheless, last Friday night at Roosevelt High School — dubbed “The Last Game” in the school’s 63-year-old gym before it’s demolished this spring as part of its $92 million modernization by Portland Public Schools — was a celebration.

However, an analysis conducted by the City Auditor’s Office says that the council should play a stronger role in setting priorities for how the money is spent. Although the council approves the grants, the recommendations are made by a volunteer citizens committee that is not well known. The analysis conducted by the City Auditor’s Office did not find fault with how the millions of dollars of public funds have been spent over the years, but it did find that the spending recommendations have been made with little council oversight, and it questions whether the public is aware of who made them and how. “A framework adopted by the City Council for the Children’s Levy would do two things: specify the city’s goals and desired outcomes for the levy, and clarify roles and responsibilities,” the audit says.

The Self Enhancement Incorporated charter middle school is one of many organizations that receives money from the Portland Children’s Levy. TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO The Portland Children’s Levy is unique in city government because it does not appropriate money to an agency that provides service. Rather, it raises property tax dollars that are then provided to existing nonprofit organizations that serve children. It is currently funding Portland Tribune Inside 59 different programs for children age birth through 24. The programs are located throughout the city and run the gamut from Friends of the Children to Neighborhood House, Albina Head Start, Meals on Wheels and Self Enhancement Inc. Their services are found in preschools, home-based childcares, elementary, middle and high schools, community centers, nonprofit organizations, soccer fields, basketball courts, music auditoriums and parks. The spending recommendations are made by a five-member volunteer Allocation Committee chaired by a single council member — Commissioner Dan Saltzman, who has sponsored all the ballot measures. The committee staff is based in Saltzman’s office, but staff members are paid by the program and are not city employees. The audit says this situation could cause problems. “Information on the Children’s Levy could be hard for a resident to find — it is not listed as a bureau on the city’s web page, and residents must know to look to the commissioner’s DINING MONTH — SEE LIFE, PAGE B1 web page to find a link. Under the city’s commission form of government, commissioner assignments may change at the mayor’s discretion. It is not clear whether the existing staff would follow a change in assignments. There is a risk of the loss of staff expertise and institutional knowledge if the city does not have a defined structure for administering the levy,” the audit says. Saltzman proposed the first levy to the council in early 2001. At the time it broke with the relationship that had been established between the city and Multnomah County. Under an earlier agreement called Resolution A, city government was supposed to provide urban services such as water and sewer, See LEVY / Page 2 “Pamplin Media Group’s pledge is to deliver balanced news that reflects the stories of our communities.

Kitzhaber denies any wrongdoing. He claims to have been charged, tried and convicted by the media without due process. Even Richardson says only a complete investigation will reveal the truth. Kitzhaber and Hayes have retained separate criminal defense attorneys. And they both also are seeking to prevent the release of personal emails stored on state computers in a different criminal investigation launched by Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenbaum. A possible investigation by the Oregon Ethics Commission is on hold until the criminal investigations are completed. Law firm report Richardson’s letter was researched and written by Charlie Spies, a Washington, D.C., former Federal Elections Commission counsel who has advised numerous political action committees and candidates, including Mitt Romney. The Richardson campaign paid $7,000 to Spies’ law firm, Clark Hill, on Nov. 3, 2014. At the time the letter was written, Oregonians were just beginning to learn about Hayes mixing her private consulting work with her public roles as honorary first lady and an unpaid energy adviser to Kitzhaber. Willamette Week had published a story on the dual roles on Oct. 8, but with around one month to go before the general election, voters probably were paying more attention to her subsequent admission of a short-term illegal marriage to an immigrant for $5,000. The letter analyzed Hayes’ relationship with five organizations that appeared to conflict with her public duties. The organizations were: Demos, a New York-based public policy organization; Energy Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit fighting climate change; Resource Media, a Seattle public relations firm working against coal exports; the Waste to Energy Group, a for-profit California company trying to secure a contact to covert methane at a Bend landfill; and the Oregon Business Council, a business group that provided a spokesperson for Hayes. “Mr. Kitzhaber and Ms. Hayes’ ostensible criminal activity stems from the First Lady’s dual role as a ‘public official’ and ‘policy adviser’ to Mr. Kitzhaber, and as a private energy and economic consultant who received compensation from numerous profit and non-profit companies to represent interests before Mr. Kitzhaber’s administration,” reads the letter. One of the additional organizations in the subpoena is Rural Development Initiatives, a nonprofit promoting rural jobs. The other is the Clean Energy Development Center, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit fighting climate change. News of her involvement with the two organizations did not surface until after the election. The EO Media Group/Pamplin Media Group was the first to report that Hayes received $118,000 from the Clean Energy Development Center that had not been previously disclosed in January. The subpoena seeks records related to Kitzhaber, Hayes and the seven organizations from numerous state agencies where news reports say Hayes’ private and public work overlapped. They are: the Department of Adminstrative Services, which serves the executive branch; the Business Development Department/Business Oregon, which is the state’s economic development arm; the Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development, which is involved in both green and rural job creation; the Department of Energy, which is involved in state climate change policies; the Department of Environmental Quality, which also is involved in climate change policies; and the Division of State Lands, which has energy interests. Documents related to numerous people associated with the organization and agencies also are demanded. They are to be delivered to the grand jury room in the U.S. Courthouse in Portland on March 10. Dennis Richardson’s letter to the Oregon U.S. Attorney can be read online at: portlandtribune.com about political scandal Former legislator, candidate says public deserves details By JIM REDDEN The Tribune Dennis Richardson has not said much publicly since Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber defeated him to win re-election last year. But the former Republican state legislator recently appeared on “Terry Boyd’s World,” a radio show on KPAM 860 AM, where he discussed the scandal that resulted in Kitzhaber’s resignation. Among other things, Richardson talked about the Oct. 23 letter he sent to Oregon U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall calling for the kind of federal investigation into Kitzhaber and his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, that is now happening. The Portland Tribune followed up with Richardson last week, asking him how he feels about the resignation, the investigation, and whether he would consider running for governor again. Portland Tribune: Your Oct. 23 letter to Oregon U.S Attorney Amanda Marshall contains very specific accusations against former Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber and his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes. The federal subpoena issued nearly four months later appears to track those accusations. Do you think the letter played a role in launching the federal investigation? Dennis Richardson: The thoroughness of the letter, I believe, contributed to the federal investigation that is currently occurring, only to the extent that it set forth in a coherent fashion the allegations and evidence of unethical and corrupt behavior that deserves to be investigated. An investigation does not imply guilt, and in America a person is to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

Levy: More council leadership recommended ■ From page 1 and the county was supposed to provide social services. But Saltzman did not think enough was being done to help children, especially low-income children, and he persuaded the council to place a levy on the Nov. 5, 2002, ballot to raise millions of property tax dollars for existing nonprofit children’s programs. The voters agreed with Saltzman and approved the levy — formally known as the Children’s Investment Fund — by a margin of 106,604 to 83,380. The margin of victory increased with the two renewal measures, culminating in the passage of the November 2013 measure by a margin of 119,026 to 40,115. According to the audit, the program has distributed $57 million to organizations that provide services to children over the past five years. Administrative costs have averaged 5 percent a year, as required by the levy language. At first, the city had an agreement with the county to cooperate on the allocation of the funds. According to that audit, the agreement “provided the initial framework in 2003, with goals, criteria for selecting grants, and defined responsibilities for Children’s Levy staff, the Allocation Committee, City Council and County Board of Commis- sioners.” That agreement expired in 2008, however, and was not replaced with a similar framework. In its absence, the Allocation Committee has developed its own goals and strategies to guide funding decisions, the audit says. Although the audit does not find fault with any of the decisions, it says the council should show more leadership. “(W)ithout long-term goals adopted by Council, it may be difficult to ensure funds address the highest priority community needs, or to document the levy outcomes over time,” says the audit, which also calls for more transparency of the funding decisions. Saltzman says he supports the recommendations and notes the Allocation Committee spent much of its most recent meeting discussing how to increase public involvement. It will soon seek public comment on recommendations to ensure that the programs it funds serve all children effectively, Saltzman said in a Feb. 12 letter to City Auditor Mary Hull Caballero co-signed by Portland Children’s Levy Director Lisa Pellegrino. Portland is not the only local government with such a program. They also exist in Seattle, Oakland, San Francisco and two Florida communities, Jacksonville and Broward County. Some were inspired by Saltzman’s example. 022615 7 D AY F O R E C A S T 498231.020915 EVERYONE KNOWS KIAS COME FROM Come see the new 2015 KIA SOUL WESTONKIA.COM Portland Tribune Closer to home. / 503.665.2166 NEWS CONTACTS / 223RD & STARK ADVERTISING CONTACTS CORRECTIONS Advertising phone: 503-684-0360 J.

Despite labor deal, port slowdown continues Terminal operator’s dispute with union threatens economy By JIM REDDEN The Tribune Oregon Gov. Kate Brown is facing the first crisis of her new administration — the ongoing labor dispute at the Port of Portland. Friction continues to slow shipping at Terminal 1, despite the fact that West Coast port operators and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union agreed on a tentative five-year contract last Friday. “The Governor’s Office is engaged with both parties and monitoring the situation closely. The efficient operation of Oregon’s ports plays a critical role in the economic vitality of our urban and rural communities,” says Brown’s press secretary Chris Pair. The governor appoints the commission that oversees port operations. So far, it has not been able to resolve the conflict between terminal operator ICTSI Oregon and the local ILWU union that is continuing after the tentative contract agreement was reached. The local union has been at odds with ICTSI for several years, accusing the Philippines-based company of being anti-union.The conflict already has prompted Hanjin Shipping, the largest shipping line at Terminal 1, to announce it will pull out on March 9 — potentially threatening the state’s fragile economic recovery because it handles so many imports and exports. On Monday, ICTSI Oregon and the local ILWU union accused each other of continuing to hamper shipments at the terminal, the only deep-water port in Oregon. In an afternoon statement, ICTSI Oregon accused the union of engaging in an illegal work stoppage. “Additionally, the ILWU is failing to provide sufficient labor for needed container vessel and barge operations at the terminal. For example, the PMA (Pacific Maritime Association) today found that the ILWU engaged in an illegal work stoppage by failing to provide labor on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015, for the Hanjin Copenhagen. ICTSI Oregon is disappointed that the ILWU is continuing to purposely disrupt Terminal 6 operations and impact business in the Portland region,” the statement said. But Jennifer Sargent, a spokeswoman for the local IWLU union, said, “The statements that ICTSI made to the media about work stoppages were, as usual, self-serving and inaccurate. ICTSI arbitrarily fired entire crews of workers this week and then complained that no one was working. The fact is, ICTSI is failing to thrive in the United States because of its own managerial shortcomings and desperately trying to blame others for its own mistakes. ICTSI’s poor decisions and rogue attitude have chased away two major customers in Portland and alienated their peers in the industry. If ICTSI spent as much time improving operations as they spend complaining to the media, our region would have a more productive container terminal by now.” The tentative contact was announced last week by the ILWU and the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents operators at the ports, including ICTSI Oregon. The agreement was reached with help from U.S. Secretary of Labor Tom Perez and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Deputy Director Scot Beckenbaugh. Details of the agreement have not been released. The union and the maritime association still must ratify the tentative deal. “After more than nine months of negotiations, we are pleased to have reached an agreement that is good for workers and for the industry,” said Pacific Maritime Association President James McKenna and ILWU President Bob McEllrath in a joint statement. “We are also pleased that our ports can now resume full operations.” The agreement came too late to prevent Hanjin from leaving, however, and the continuing strife will complicate efforts to find a replacement. “Hanjin has been a vitally important and longtime carrier in our market, and this will be a tough loss for our region,” said Bill Wyatt, executive director for the Port of Portland. “We have made every attempt to prevent this outcome.” The departure leaves HapagLloyd and Westwood Shipping as the remaining direct-calling carriers. Port officials said the withdrawal would not impact the port’s other marine business lines such as autos, grain, minerals, steel, project cargo or liquid bulks. jredden@portlandtribune.com Kevin Harden also contributed to this story. $ 90 $ 99 C Who has been hurt the most by Kitzhaber’s resignation, other than Kitzhaber and Hayes, who have lost his salary just as their legal bills are starting to multiply? You could argue those who contributed big bucks to Kitzhaber’s reelection campaign are suffering because their contributions were wasted. But that’s not necessarily the case. For example, Nike chairman Phil Knight contributed $250,000 to Kitzhaber’s re-election campaign. But Kitzhaber had previously called a special session of the Oregon Legislature to pass a law to make sure Nike’s state tax structure can’t change. So maybe Knight was just settling a debt. And the Democratic Party of Oregon isn’t necessarily hurting, even though it gave Kitzhaber $67,000 last year. Although Kitzhaber is gone, he was replaced by another Democrat, former Secretary of State Kate Brown. That’s a lot different than Republican candidate Dennis Richardson winning the 2014 election.

According to TIME magazine, some Oregon college officials are doing just that. “The bottom line is for the federal government marijuana is still illegal, so that trumps state law because we get federal funding,” the Feb. 19 article quotes Dr. Erin Foley, dean of students at Oregon Institute of Technology, as saying. “It’s straightforward. The bigger piece for us is to make sure students are aware of that.” Portland State University and other publicly funded universities are participating in a campaign to make it clear to students that marijuana is not allowed on campus. In other words, “No Smoking” signs don’t just apply to cigarettes. It remains unclear, however, how the rules will apply to off-campus, nonschool housing. $ both pieces Questions multiply over gray areas in Hayes’ green work Kitzhaber winners and losers Soft Microfiber 1699 $ Sofa and Loveseat Set 599 17 9 5 Piece Pub Set onservative publications are seizing on Oregon Gov.

There, children were beaten if they spoke Spanish, but without a solid foundation in either language, they grew up to be semi-literate, Brown says. “That’s why I’ve been in education ... to have a bigger impact in training teachers,” says Brown, who is an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Education at Portland State University. Brown is running for Portland Public Schools board in the southwestern Zone 1, currently Ruth Adkins’ seat. As of press time, her only opponent was for- mer PPS student representative and current Portland State University student Andrew Davidson. Director Adkins, who supports Brown’s candidacy, has decided against running for a third term due to the heavy workload. ESPARZA “I was super BROWN excited when I found out about Julie being willing to run,” said Adkins, who noted Brown’s nationally recognized research on dual language programs and special education reforms, “just when we (the district) are finally making some progress in those areas.” Brown says she feels that since Director Steve Buel won against Martin Gonzales in 2013, the board has been missing a Latino voice. “I’m running because I think that my background and experi- ence and expertise could help an urban school system like Portland Public,” she says, adding: “I would love the school board to look representative of the district.” Brown’s academic focus has been on special education and literacy issues, as well as the needs of English-language learners. “We obviously have disparities in outcomes across different groups of kids,” she says. “We can’t continue to let some kids slip through the cracks in terms of not meeting their potential.” Brown says she supports the work of the Portland Association of Teachers union and Superintendent Carole Smith and that she is ready for the long hours required by the volunteer position. “I am blessed to be in this position where I have raised my children — and they are amazing — and I have time in my schedule that would allow me to take on this huge commitment,” Brown says. 7KH WK 69 Anniversary )HEUXDU\0DUFK 2XU/DUJHVW'LVFRXQWVRIWKH<HDU Fine Handcrafted Furniture Made in America Since 1946 1(6DQG\%OYG3RUWODQG25 “Comfort of your home, individualized treatment and constant support.

In recent years, Roosevelt’s partnership with SouthLake Church has done a lot to remedy that. Since 2008, thousands of volunteers from the West Linn church have helped clothe, feed, mentor, coach and support the students, having grown from a simple day of service to beautify the school. A documentary that debuted last month, “Undivided,” (undividedthemovie.com) shines a light on the unique partnership. Verbout, the alumni association leader, also has an effort underway to ask various neighborhood groups and organizations to sign up to attend Roosevelt’s athletic games on certain days, to show their support. And Verbout says the alumni association is planning to hand out passes to Roosevelt theater and other arts events to seniors at Assumption Village assistedliving facility, two blocks away. “I want the kids to know that people love and care about them and support them,” Verbout says. “I want other folks — older folks and new 30-somethings — to realize this is their school.” Separate but related to Roosevelt, Verbout is helping to organize the annual Celebrate North Portland event, coming up on March 14. This year’s theme is “North Portland’s Got Talent,” inviting people who live or work in North Portland to showcase their skills. A few of the contenders performed snippets of their talents in between buzzer time at Friday’s games. “This needs to be a 24/7 school,” Verbout says. “We need to target the 80-something percent of people who don’t have kids in school; let those people feel like: ‘This is my school, too.’” ‘Be happy with what we are giving you’ One part of the Roosevelt modernization effort, however, has a dark cloud hanging over it.

Roosevelt Design Advisory Group have been disgruntled with PPS’ planning of the new building’s space for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning. Last March, the Tribune detailed those concerns about the design process, the critics alleging that the 3,500 square feet of dedicated STEM space and 2,500 square feet of “makerspace lab” in the new Roosevelt building are “grossly undersized.” Joe Purkey, a St. Johns architect and member of the Design Advisory Group, says: “There were only repeated promises broken and delays effected to allow the board and the district to make the heartfelt cry, ‘I’m sorry, but we cannot change and re- main on time and on budget. Thank you for all your efforts, now be happy with what we are giving you.’” Even while disenchanted, Purkey, whose children attend James John School — a feeder school to Roosevelt — says he’s excited that the remodel will finally bring Roosevelt up to current seismic and accessiblity standards, and in a shape to allow transformative teaching and learning. “Roosevelt will continue to rise and will greatly benefit from this new design,” Purkey says, “but I still say my neighborhood deserves better than good enough. We deserve the excellence that the district promised through their Educational Visioning process, of a cutting-edge facility that supports and welcomes both the students and community and prepares our kids to pursue their own success after high school.” Assisted alcohol detox in 5 days or less, in the privacy and comfort of your home or hotel.

Kate Brown said that Oregon needs to have “a broader discussion” about the death penalty and criminal justice system. We also feel the same approach needs to be taken with the issue of vaccinations in Oregon. Currently, 7 percent of Oregon’s kindergarten students go without vaccinations due to nonmedical exemptions — aka those for religious or philosophical reasons — which gives us the inauspicious rank of first in the nation. That, however, may change this year. As our Jennifer Anderson reported last week, under new rules adopted by the Oregon Legislature, those seeking a nonmedical exemption now have to earn a “vaccination certificate” by either watching an hourlong vaccine education video, or by talking to a health care practitioner. It remains to be seen if Oregon’s OUROPINION Portland Tribune FOUNDER Dr. Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. PRESIDENT J. Mark Garber MANAGING EDITOR Vance W. Tong DIGITAL MEDIA EDITOR Kevin Harden VICE PRESIDENT Brian Monihan ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Christine Moore CIRCULATION MANAGER Kim Stephens CREATIVE SERVICES MANAGER Cheryl DuVal PUBLISHING SYSTEMS MANAGER/WEBMASTER Alvaro Fontán NEWS WRITERS Jennifer Anderson, Steve Law, Jim Redden, Joseph Gallivan, Peter Wong, Shasta Kearns Moore FEATURES WRITER Jason Vondersmith SPORTS EDITOR Steve Brandon new, stricter rules will result in fewer vaccination exemptions. With the recent outbreak of measles across the country — and this week’s death of an unvaccinated toddler in Germany — the topic of vaccinations commands our attention. A measles outbreak at Disneyland in December has now grown to 150 reported cases in several states, including Oregon. The more children are unvaccinated in schools, the more it weakens the “herd immunity,” making such vulnerable populations as pregnant women, infants or the medically fragile more susceptible to highly infectious diseases. Large numbers of Oregonians consider vaccinations a choice, rather than something that should be mandated, which is the exact opposite of the intent of Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward (D-Portland) and her bill that would eliminate the nonmedical exemption, an effort similar to others being pursued in 11 other states. We applaud Hayward’s action, at least for the public dialogue it’s generating. But the fear of disease outbreak is hardly the whole story. The controversy was evident in Salem Feb. 19 when testimony on Hayward’s bill lasted for more than three hours. There was impassioned testimony from public health officials, as well as experts of all types and families with children who suffered from severe reactions to vaccines, which they say led to autism and other conditions. In Oregon, medical exemptions can be granted for a variety of reasons, including having a compromised immune system. But the most common qualification for receiving a medical exemption is a previous severe allergic reaction to a vaccine, which could be after the harm has occurred. The medical establishment insists vaccines are safe. If that’s the case, then why has Congress exempted vaccine manufacturers from civil lawsuits? Why has Congress created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to compensate people — including children — who have been injured by vaccines? In fiscal 2014, the special “vaccine court” in Washington, D.C., ordered $202 million be paid to 365 victims to compensate for vaccine-related injuries. Those are grounds for real concern that public health officials need to address, rather than sweep under the rug. This is not a black and white debate, but one that touches on personal freedom, public health, individual rights and the greater good. The discussion will continue at an information hearing set for March 9 in Salem to address the constitutionality of Sen. Hayward’s bill. As educated constituents, we deserve a broader public discussion on the full truth about vaccines, not just the “safe, cheap and highly effective” claims the public health officials continuously make. Oregon has tough love for environment land, fresh air, and clean water. More general references were made to Oregon’s beauty, its scenery, nature, and wildlife.

People link it to better health, providing a legacy for future generations and pride in our state. Importantly, Oregonians also connect the environment to one of the top issues they’re concerned about and want their government officials to do something about: jobs and the economy. We see how Oregonians prioritize the environment in DHM’s research surveys. When asked recently what the better way is for Oregon to promote economic growth, 70 percent chose maintaining a quality environment to attract people and companies to Oregon versus relaxing environmental protection to make it easier for companies to do business (23 percent). Oregonians have felt this way consistently over the years. They answered the same question similarly in both the 1992 and 2002 Oregon Values and Beliefs studies. Again, the value of a quality environment is recognized by a broad cross-section of Oregonians. Well, almost. Note for Republicans: You’re on the side of relaxing protections while a strong majority of Democrats and (listen up) Independents are in the maintaining quality camp. It is one thing to say you value a quality environment for the different reasons mentioned above, but it is another to say you’re willing to pay more or change your behavior to protect it. Are Oregonians willing to put their money where their mouth is? The answer is yes and no. On the one hand, they have become recyclers, say they’re willing to change their behavior to help combat climate change, and support greater regulation of the coal industry and a cap on the amount of carbon dioxide a big company can emit. Such policies could lead to increased prices for products and services, showing there are times they are willing to step up and take on some burdens to protect the environment. But, on the other hand, they’re opposed to paying a carbon tax of 25 cents a gallon on gasoline and are divided on having higher density in their neighborhoods to prevent urban sprawl. These research findings should not be a surprise. While Oregonians greatly value environmental quality, a majority also feel that government wastes money and can’t effectively administer programs, they don’t like big business, and they are struggling financially. So, people prefer to keep government out of it, minimize regulations or make the other guy pay, and make it more about monetary incentives and volunteering than about taxes and punishing regulations. Oregonians also want to understand fully any proposal and hear information from a credible source (a very short list of individuals and organizations these days). Otherwise, in this era of cynicism, skepticism and negativity, any doubt at all is a death sentence for most tax or regulation proposals, even ones related to the environment. Lack of information irks Oregonians. For example, we found that quantifying (how many more units) and qualifying (what kind of units will they be and what will they look like) greatly affects support levels for a proposal to have higher density in a neighborhood. How ideas are framed matters also. Instead of “preventing urban sprawl,” how about calling it “protection of farm and forestland?” We love environmental quality in Oregon, but considering the bigger public opinion climate these days, it is a tough love. But then again, Oregonians are tough. Don’t bet against us when it comes to our state’s environmental quality.

The Portland Tribune is dedicated to providing vital communication and leadership throughout our community. Give rape victims more time to fight back MYVIEW Danielle Tudor R ight now, Oregon’s state Legislature is about to consider bills to change our six-year statute of limitations on prosecution of rape crimes without DNA evidence. (I’m proud to say we have no statute of limitation at all on rape cases with DNA.) Why does this particular time limit need TUDOR to change? My answer is simple: If you’ve been raped, you should have justice — even decades later. I would like to see Oregon stand out by instituting a new limit of 20 years. After I was raped in my own home in 1979, I reported the crime promptly to the police and underwent a medical exam with a rape kit — and so did eight of this serial rapist’s other victims. But once Richard Troy Gillmore was caught in 1986, the statute of limitations meant that he could be prosecuted for only one rape. Even today, Gillmore still would escape prosecution for most of his crimes. If a rapist is canny enough to evade arrest and to avoid leaving DNA evidence behind, then after six years he’s untouchable. Meanwhile, the number of rape victims in the U.S. is staggering — and it keeps growing. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, every two minutes another woman or girl age 12 or older is raped or assaulted sexually. Bear in mind that those statistics don’t include the women who approach me every time I speak publicly and share my story. These women always tell me they were raped, just as I was, but they have never told anyone before. Then consider this statistic: 98 percent of rapists never spend a day in jail. I believe we can change those numbers by allowing victims a longer period to move forward with prosecution. Defense lawyers and others who oppose a longer statute of limitations for rape have told me that the onus is on any victim of sexual assault to report the assault promptly, to go to court and receive justice swiftly, and then to move on with life. This is exactly how rape is regularly portrayed in one-hour episodes of “Law and Order: SVU.” But that is simply not real life for victims. To anyone who feels strongly that every rape victim should follow this protocol, I suggest that you undergo an exam for a rape kit. A friend asked me, “Is a rape kit more invasive than a Pap smear?” Indeed it is — it’s one of the most invasive examinations you might ever have to endure. As a victim, you’ve just experienced a traumatizing, painful and shaming assault, and now you must endure an enormously humiliating medical exam. Basically, having a rape kit done requires you to undergo a second ordeal. After that, you deserve some breathing space to decide when you want to go to court, which is bound to be a third ordeal. Some people worry that by extending the statute of limitations for rape cases, innocents will be falsely accused and imprisoned. But according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the incidence of false reporting of sexual violence is low (2-10 percent). What about the many rapists out there who have never been convicted? Are we willing to overlook the huge number of cases that are legitimate but never prosecuted? Rape is one of the most underreported crimes against women. At the same time, according to the Centers for Disease Control, men are more likely to experience sexual assault than they are to be falsely accused of committing it. Some lawyers say that fresh cases bring justice best. But demanding that vulnerable, traumatized rape victims forge ahead as quickly as possible with prosecution hardly seems humane. Still, perhaps with more time, they can do that. Rape is a unique crime. It affects a victim’s body, mind and spirit. Rape is not like a broken bone that can be set, or a cut that can be stitched up. Once that bone or cut heals, you no longer feel pain. By contrast, a sexual assault survivor always carries pain, guilt, shame and fear — feelings with no statute of limitations. Life becomes devoted to managing these emotions. Unwanted memories and flashbacks spring to mind, unbidden. Some days you win out over them; some days you lose, and must remind yourself you can survive to fight another day. But one day, you could have the strength to move forward, call the district attorney’s office, and go to court. A victim of sexual assault has never asked for the huge responsibility of bringing a rapist to justice as soon as possible. A longer statute of limitations would give victims a chance to fight back when they’re ready. And it might make potential rapists think twice if they knew that the threat of prosecution would hang over them for 20 years of their lives.

The practice ride was not part of an organized motorcycle driver-education course. She did not have a motorcycle endorsement and her friend was informally teaching her to ride in the lot at 7688 S.W. Capitol Highway, police said. Organized motorcycle riding classes are held in numerous locations around town, including the parking lot at the Portland Community College Sylvania Campus, located not far from the center.

HARDEN Pamplin Media Group By KELSEY O’HALLORAN Pamplin Media Group View legals online at: http://publicnotices.portlandtribune.com Trib Info Box 0813 OES students ask City Council to tighten, enforce gun laws PORTLAND TRIBUNE PUBLIC NOTICE 022615 Dedicated educator and community affairs activist, Francis Robert (Bob) Weaver, passed away February 13, 2015 at the age of 93. He was born June 10, 1921 in Valsetz, OR, to Cleveland and Myrtle Agnes Weaver. Starting his own education in a one-room converted sheep shed for grades 1-8, with an iron stove, 3-hole outdoor toilet, and a water pump on the front porch, Bob pursued his education with passion, finishing high school in Newport, OR. He joined the Army during WWII and served until 1945 and then married his beloved wife, Alice. Continuing his education, Bob received his Bachelor Degree in Education from Oregon College of Education and his Administrator of Education Certification from the University of Oregon. Robert taught school in Forest Grove, Florence, and Springfield, where he taught at Thurston Elementary. He then served as principal at Camp Creek Elementary, Mt. Vernon Elementary, and Centennial Elementary. Bob and Alice moved to Newberg, where Bob was principal of Mabel Rush Elementary for 11 years, and served a term as state president of the Oregon School Principal’s Association. Besides his career in education, Bob served in the Springfield Lions Club, Newberg Rotary and Newberg City Council for nine years. He was a history and civics guide at the State Capital in Salem for six years and a 32nd degree Mason. Bob served seven years as a guide at Portland’s Shriner’s Hospital for Children, and nine years on the Providence Hospital Foundation Board where he and his wife Alice received the hospital’s first “Hearts of Gold” award. Bob also was chosen Newberg’s “Citizen of the Year” in 2000, and was an active member of the First United Methodist Church during his time in Newberg. Bob loved his family and friends, the Oregon Ducks, traveling, reading and always learning. He was preceded in death by his six siblings, his wife Alice, and son Samuel. He is survived by his son Robert Weaver and wife Jackie of Marcola, OR; daughter-in-law Diane Weaver of Dallas, OR; granddaughters Trisha (Weaver) Crandall and husband David of Broomfield, CO, and Tonia (Weaver) Steffey and husband John of Randlett, UT; and seven great-grandchildren: Sarah, Emily, Wyatt, Dillon, Elijah, Abram and Caleb. A celebration of life service will be held March 7 at 1 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Newberg. In lieu of flowers, Bob requested any donations be made to Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Portland, or the First United Methodist Church choir in Newberg. Margaret Mary (McNamee) Bell October 10, 1924 to February 16, 2015 Margaret Bell was the last living child of Robert Steven and Mary Francis McNamee who raised 12 children in St. Paul, Ore. A first generation American she grew up with a marvelous work ethic, Margaret attended St. Mary’s High School in Medford, Ore. and then studied at Willamette University in Salem, Ore. on a music scholarship. Margaret married Harry Conlee Bell, Jr. in 1951 and moved to Portland, Ore. Shortly after their marriage they moved to the home they built in West Linn and raised seven children. Margaret was involved in religious education and Altar Society at Our Lady of the Lake for many years while raising her children. She worked at several Catholic organizations including Jesuit High School Board, St. Anne’s of West Linn and St. Francis of Sherwood. She was also an employee of one of her most cherished organizations, Earl and Brown Incorporated, where she was a financial analyst. She was very involved in her children’s schooling and sports endeavors, often being their biggest fan in the bleachers. One ability that Margaret and her entire McNamee family had was to connect to people in a deep and meaningful way; that was a gift she passed onto her family. Margaret passed away at 10:55 a.m. on the 16th of February with all of her children, grandchildren and some of her great-grandchildren with her to the very end. Always the teacher and a child of God herself, she encouraged her entourage to attend church and led them in prayers up until 30 minutes of her death. Margaret is preceded in death by her husband, Harry Conlee Bell, Jr. (1981). She is survived by her children, Brian Nugent Bell (Eileen), Michael Stephan Bell, Colleen Ann Yates (Darrell) Sheila Eileen Amundson (Steve), John Patrick Bell (JulieAnne), Patrick McNamee Bell (Molly), Timothy Conlee Bell (Sherry); grandchildren Meagon Watterson, Lindsey Kent , Stephanie Woody, Tori Fortney, Brian Yates, Ryan Amundson, Corey Amundson, Paige Marie Bell, Carter Bell, Lucy Bell, Katie Bell, Joey Bell, Ireland Bell, Brett Bell and Blaine Bell; great-grandchildren Sam Watterson, Taylor Kent, Charlie Kent, Colton Fortney and Addie Fortney. Margaret’s service was held at Our Lady of the Lake in Lake Oswego, Oregon on Saturday, Feb. 21. In lieu of flowers, Margaret’s wishes were that contributions be made to either Our Lady of the Lake Parish (650 A Ave., Lake Oswego), of which she was a member for 50 years, or to Randall Children’s Hospital (2801 N. Gantenbein, Portland 97227), in gratitude for her young grandchild’s life or to Phoenix Children’s Hospital (1919 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix, AZ, 85016).

PT1346 A8 NEWS The Portland Tribune Thursday, February 26, 2015 Planners peek at rental rules Issue of short-term stays may be put on long-range agenda By KEVIN L. HARDEN Pamplin Media Group Washington County planners may be about to dip their toes into the often-turbulent short-term rental/vacation rental debate. Just a toe, mind you. Planners are not recommending that county officials leap into the Airbnb/VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner) issue just yet. Instead, planners could look at COURTESY OF VBRO.COM the issue as part of the county’s A VRBO ad shows a Washington County bungalow that prompted long-range planning work to be neighbors to seek regulations on short-term rentals in residential adopted by commissioners in areas.

Short-term vacation rentals they want to work on in the fu- range process, Roberts said. are “something in between, and ture.” Washington County doesn’t not a use specifically identified That future discussion can’t have specific rules governing in our current codes,” Roberts said. If, and when, county officials start talking about the shortterm rental regulations, representatives of HomeAway Inc., the Austin, Texas, company that owns VRBO.com and other vacation rental/short-term rental marketplace websites, say they are ready to help with that process. “Vacation rentals serve a strong benefit to a community such as Washington County,” said Carl Shepherd, HomeAway co-founder. “Vacation rentals are a great option for business travel accommodations, especially for longer stays, due to their affordability over hotels and their ability to allow the traveler to feel at home. “When Washington County begins to discuss the issue of regulations, HomeAway stands at the ready to become involved and encourage our owners, managers and travelers to advocate for proper regulation, as well.” HomeAway has more than 1 million paid vacation home listings in 190 countries. The company has more than 1,400 employees in 18 offices around the world. In 2013, the publicly traded company’s revenue increased by 23 percent to $346.5 million. A 2013 HomeAway customer satisfaction survey found that owners of second homes often rent their properties 18 weeks a year, for an average of $1,500 a week. ‘If they lived next door’ Each year, the county’s Long Range Planning staff submits a proposal to commissioners for projects and issues to tackle in the next 12 months. This year’s plan, which includes more than three dozen recommended priorities, goes to the board of commissioners March 24 for public comments. If adopted, the plan will map staff’s work until April 2016. Planners already are working on projects that take several years to complete, like development of the Bonny Slope West area, the 2018 regional transportation plan, and the Southwest Corridor high-capacity transit plan. Top-tier requests included in this year’s draft long-range plan are updating the county trans- portation system and finding ways to fund transportation projects, guiding remaining elements of the North Bethany development, and monitoring land needs for possible future urban growth boundary expansion. Way down on the list are a handful of requests by citizens or groups asking the county to, among other things, adopt a tree ordinance, provide ongoing support for the Aloha and Reedville Community Council, and regulate short-term vacation rentals, like those through Airbnb, VRBO or other services. That’s where Denise Brem and Bill Yaeger come in. The Garden Home residents complained to county commissioners in early December that a house rented for short stays had disrupted their Southwest 67th Avenue neighborhood for more than three years. The house lists on VRBO.com as a “Multnomah Village bungalow” offering a “peaceful retreat, minutes to downtown.” “It’s pretty much an unrelenting stream of strangers who have no stake in the neighbor- See PLANNERS / Page 9 Guns: Students urged to testify in Salem January 2013 signed on to a statement of principles endorsed by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a national group formed in the wake of the December 2012 shootings at Clackamas Town Center and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Hales proposed requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales, banning “military-style” assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and making gun trafficking a federal crime. Better gun safety laws The students, nine 12thgraders and one 11th-grader, received a warm welcome (and applause from the council, which broke meeting protocol), for their proposal. However, they were told there was little the city could do to enact more laws restricting gun use because the state prohibits cities from taking that action. “We’re chafing a little bit under the restrictions in state law, but we think we have a little more room to do what we need to do,” Hales told the students. “I think you’re right. There is a very large majority in our city that wants to see better laws on gun safety.” Hales and other city commissioners encouraged the students to testify when the Legislature takes up several bills on gun safety this session. The OES students’ measure is modeled on similar ordinances adopted by Sunnyvale, Calif., Highland Park, Ill., and Washington, D.C. It’s also an extension of ordinances adopted by Portland’s city commissioners in December 2010. Those proposals tightened firearms laws on endangering children, reporting the theft of guns, and establishing “hot spots” where police had extra legal tools to combat illegal gun use in parts of the city. The students spent several weeks researching other cities’ gun safety ordinances and legal challenges, backing up their argument with reports of recent Portland-area gang-related shootings, the June 2014 Reynolds High School shooting in Troutdale, and a recent incident in which a 4-year-old Gresham boy accidentally shot his finger with a handgun. “Gun violence is happening everywhere in the United States,” according to the students’ presentation to the council. “The victims can seemingly be anyone — your neighbor next door, or your friend living on a street close to you.” Blumenauer’s proposal The students’ proposal comes on the heels of a plan by U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer to treat gun safety like automobile and tobacco use. Blumenauer, a Democrat representing Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District, outlined his proposal during a Feb. 9 news conference with the introduction of a new report, “Enough Is Enough: A Comprehensive Plan to Improve Gun Safety.” Blumenauer plans to turn the report’s nine proposals into federal legislation later this year. The proposals are based on the federal government’s response to automobile safety and reduction of tobacco use “two significant public safety challenges where the government responded in ways that dramatically reduced injury and death, success came from defining the problem, identifying risk factors, testing prevention strategies, and ensuring widespread adoption of effective solutions,” Blumenauer said Monday in Portland. “While there is no single solution to the challenges associated with gun violence, insight can be gained from other challenges that the United States has faced and overcome,” he said. Among Blumenauer’s proposals: ■ Close the private sale loophole so no guns could be sold without a background check. ■ Improve the mental health system so some people with mental illnesses cannot get guns. ■ Authorize and increase research on ways to prevent gun violence. ■ Limit access to “the most dangerous weapons.” ■ Include firearms in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act. ■ Regulate gun sellers so all are complying with federal law. ■ Enforce existing gun safety laws. ■ Train first responders to deal with active-shooter situations. 500207.022415 ■ From page 1 NEWS A9 The Portland Tribune Thursday, February 26, 2015 Planners: County doesn’t have rules for some rentals Made ■ From page 8 Italy in COURTESY OF PORTLAND ART MUSEUM Italian style is in fine form at the Portland Art Museum. Unique items similar to those found in this Dolce Gabana advertisement can be seen through May 3. PAM exhibit traces Roman fashion from palazzo to outlet mall By JOSEPH GALLIVAN The Tribune ITALIAN STYLE Italian Style is that rare show in Portland, like China Design Now in 2009, that immerses you in a place you might never visit. The subject is high fashion, but the subtext is how Italy reinvented itself after World War II. Don’t know your Puccis from your Pradas? Are Dolce & Gabbana a couple? Why are the discount stores stuffed with Tommy Hilfiger but not Armani? The exhibit, Italian Style, comes from the renowned costume department of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Three decades ago, shows about fashion and design made that fusty museum interesting again. The V&A’s pop culture shows, such as one on David Bowie, are frequently blockbusters. Fashion is a major export for Italy. The exhibit begins, as a lot of postwar Italian narrative does, by dropping Fascism like a hot potato and getting into the glamour of the upper classes. Downstairs at the entrance to the Portland Art Museum there is a long T-shaped runway filled with fantastic modern dresses and suits made by the best Italian fashion houses, including Pucci, Valentino, Gucci, Missoni, Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Prada and Versace. In other museums, these pieces are placed at the end of the show: it’s the “state of the art” section. Here you marvel at the sculptural forms, the fabrics, the craftsmanship and the unending inventiveness of things to cover the human body, before heading upstairs for the main narrative. There we first see a series of evening gowns in glass cases — bold sculptures made for sizetwo aristocrats. There is a gold gown with a typical 1950s bell skirt. The dress has hundreds of silk flaps cut on the round, so they look like feathers. It’s made by a noblewoman called Simonetta who, falling on hard times, went into dress designing and tapped her social network for customers. Many of the dresses in the first section wouldn’t be out of place on a 2015 red carpet. They were shown at the Sala Bianca What: “Italian Style: Fashion since 1945” Where: Portland Art Museum, 1219 S.W.

COURTESY OF PORTLAND ART MUSEUM This Germana Marucelli dress is just one of the many dresses featured at the Portland Art Museum exhibit. (white room) in Florence in the 1950s. Fashion journalists were invited to stop off after the Paris shows, before returning to America. The looks and the quality tailoring appealed to the American market, where the postwar economic boom left plenty of women hungry for glamour and with the money to pay for it. In another glass case is a blue silk evening bag and a dark wool jacket both by Maria Grimaldi. The jacket is laid out not to show a label — there is none — but the careful tailoring of its red, silk lining. Again the message is Italian craftsmanship was exceptional. The narrative lurches forward in the next room with the Hollywood on the Tiber section, which shows how Hollywood was seduced by Roman style. When Audrey Hepburn was shooting films such as “Roman Holiday” she was a clothes horse for Italian designers. Her personal life, like that of Elizabeth Taylor, was fodder for the tabloids. You can look at the diamond brooch that Eddie Fisher bought for Taylor at Bulgari just before she dumped him for Richard Burton. (Fisher sent her the bill, and she paid.) Movies such as “La Dolce Vita” (The Sweet Life, 1960) by Federico Fellini may have satirized the excesses of the rich and the paparazzi who followed them, but the takeaway was a superficial interest in Italian style and glamor.

The Permanent Hair Removal Solution 503.227.6050 For several years, cities like San Francisco, Boulder, Colo., and New York City, have tried to wrangle local short-term rental regulations. HomeAway officials sued San Francisco to block some of that city’s rules. Legal sabers also have been rattled in New York City. In July 2014, Portland city officials adopted a new set of rules to govern Airbnb rentals after months of talks with the company. The rules regulate the types of places that can be used for shortterm rentals (limiting some multifamily dwelling unit rentals), require owners to be on site for most rentals, set up a permit and fee system for the short-term rentals, and require Airbnb to collect taxes from property owners who use their online service.

The fabrics may be fading, but the designs could be right out of an iPad ad. Pucci was a Fascist sympathizer and helped pay for his tuition at Reed College in the late 1930s by designing outfits for the Reed ski team. His bold colors and shapes got him noticed on the slopes back in Italy. Marilyn Monroe was buried in a Pucci dress. The rise of Italian ready-towear fashion (made in factories by machines rather than pure craftspeople) is the main success story here. But there is a side room with some men’s suits — thick, wool suits that are surely due for a comeback. Or if a 1980s revival is due, perhaps the soft, unstructured look of Armani that landed him on the cover of Time magazine will do it. The show comes alive downstairs with the modest eccentricity of Italian fashion; see the multicolored, shaved mink ensemble (it looks like suede), or a Versace leather jacket and trousers covered in fringe. A fuzzy video shot in a Fiorucci store at an after-hours party in 1977 shows a rocker with a beer, a shirtless dude dancing, and lots of New York women with a slight Cindy Lauper look to them. It shows how cool a cloth- ing brand could be. Brands were soon to transcend their designers and owners on the way to becoming the protected species they are today. A new, high-definition video shows some key figures in Italian fashion — including the scary Italian Vogue editor, Franca Sozzani, who looks like she’s from a Laika animation — talking about challenges to Italy’s industry status. Not only are the Milan runway shows being eclipsed by London, but Chinese investors are buying up Italian marques and know-how so they can stamp Made In Italy on their products. The town of Prato, the traditional center of the wool trade, has the secondlargest Chinese community in Italy. The show includes more than 100 ensembles and accessories, and near the end it includes some Portland designers’ work, including a plastic wedding dress by Elizabeth Dye, just before you are spit into the gift shop for the inevitable retail therapy. With minimal signage the show forces you to consider clothing as sculpture. hood,” said Bill Yaeger, whose house looks into the bungalow’s backyard. “While most of them are nice people, it’s still an imposition. “We believe that it’s a use that’s inconsistent with a residential neighborhood.” Brem said the issue may be a low priority to some people, but it’s a constant source of irritation for her family. “You know why it’s a low priority? They don’t live next door to one,” she said. “Trust me, if they lived next door to one, it would be a bigger issue.” In a two-page Dec. 1 letter, Brem and Yaeger outlined several problems they face each time someone rents the 1,680-squarefoot 1938 bungalow. A backyard fire pit is often a focal point of trouble, Brem said, because it is adjacent to her home’s master bedroom. “We have been awakened early mornings by boisterous outdoor photo shoots, group yoga classes and by children being sent outside to play,” they wrote to commissioners. “Our sleep has been repeatedly disturbed by parties and bonfires.” Brem and Yaeger said they tried, without much luck, to work with the bungalow’s owner, a former neighbor who moved and then rented the house through VRBO.com. The owner declined to comment for this news story. County officials say the owner isn’t violating any county laws by renting the house for short stays. Portland officials faced a similar “sharing economy” battle with Uber, the ride-sharing program challenging local taxi companies. After weeks of fruitless talks, Uber representatives entered the Portland market in December, and promptly faced fines and city legal action. Uber and Portland called a truce and the ride-sharing company decided to delay its local launch until city officials could rewrite private for-hire transportation regulations. At the same time, several suburban communities, including Tigard and Beaverton, gladly opened their doors to Uber. Those cities don’t regulate taxis as tightly as Portland. In Washington County’s case, Brem and Yaeger offered in their December letter nearly a dozen proposals for rules on short-term rentals in residential areas, such as requiring licenses and permits to operate, fines for repeated violations, collection of transient taxes, limits on noise, and requiring property owners to be available by phone to respond to complaints. “This is so new that some governments haven’t adopted rules for it yet,” Yaeger said. “So it’s up to people like us who are on the front lines, so to speak. We try to raise a stink about it.” Roberts said the county wasn’t anxious to jump into the complex issue. Planners most likely will send a letter to commissioners with the long-range planning proposals outlining the issue and giving the board an option to dedicate staff time to possible rules. “These kinds of things come up periodically,” Roberts said. “Cell towers came up like this 20 years ago. Medical marijuana dispensaries were last year’s hot topic. We just have to step back and say, ‘Is this something we’re concerned about, and do we want to regulate it?’” Brem and Yaeger hope the answer is yes. “We’re at a disadvantage,” Brem said. “We don’t live in a city, and this seems to be done on a city-by-city basis. “I understand that they have a lot of big issues to deal with, and there’s only so much they can do. I guess I’m happy to get this discussion started.” 4 To find out more and to Join CUB visit www.oregoncub.org www.ElectrolysisClinicP www.ElectrolysisCli nicPDX.com DX.com 30 Years and Counting KUHNHAUSEN’S Tuesday-Friday 10-6 • Saturday 10-5 FURNITURE SHOWCASE 2640 East Burnside Street, Portland, OR Family Owned & Operated Since 1919 www.kuhnhausensfurniture.com (503) 234-6638 501821.022615 Wheels!

VINCENT For Pamplin Media Group W hen you hear of a car that’s comprised of pieces from three different models, it’s easy to lose hope that the final product will be very good. That’s not the case with the all-new 2015 Lexus RC lineup. First, those components come from three competent models — the front suspension from the Lexus GS, the rear end from the tight-as-a-watch IS, and the floor pan from the IS-C convertible. Second, the RC was designed as a sports coupe from the outset. They’re not sedans or convertibles twisted into The RC is the a coupe form.

The RC 350 is also available with all-wheel drive, mated to a sixspeed automatic. The RC 350 is the sports coupe for buyers who want a sports coupe that’s also a Lexus. It’s very comfortable, confident and stable, though not particularly quick due largely to its heavy weight. At the other end of the spectrum is the aggressive, snarling RC F. It puts 467-horsepower to the rear wheels from the 5.0-liter V-8 stuffed under its long hood. A sprint from zero to 60 takes just 4.4 seconds, versus TRIBUNE PHOTO: JOHN M. VINCENT The 2016 Honda Pilot is all-new with a larger interior and an exterior design that takes cues from the rest of the Honda lineup. It’s expected in dealerships this summer. a sleeker, modern style, reminiscent of the Hyundai Santa Fe. The Pilot also receives a new powertrain and the full slate of safety and efficiency technology that Honda has been applying to its newest models. Honda also showed a teaser photo of their redesigned Ridgeline pickup. It’s expected later this year with more of a traditional pickup design than the current model. For many manufacturers, the enhancements to current products introduced were subtle, but necessary in the face of strong competition and increased efficiency requirements. Honda’s luxury sister, Acura, showed a refreshed RDX compact SUV with an updated exterior design and 3.5-liter V-6 engine. Chevy introduced a new version of their strongselling Equinox SUV. Toyota rolled out an updated model of their Avalon flagship sedan. The new Avalon takes on some styling cues from the boldly redesigned Camry. From Kia came a refreshed TRIBUNE PHOTO: JOHN M.

General Motors used the Chicago show to announce that the Bolt 200-mile expected-range electric vehicle that they recently introduced in concept form will make it to production and be built at their Orion, Michigan plant. There were two significant concept vehicles shown in Chicago. Kia’s Trail’ster Concept previews what industry observers hope will be an allwheel drive version of the popular Soul. Such a vehicle would be a strong competitor in the exploding compact and subcompact crossover segment. Mitsubishi unveiled a wild SUV concept. Called the GC-PHEV, the plug-in hybrid previews several technologies and a design language that the company is expected to apply to a forthcoming full-size SUV.

The RC 350 F-Sport still has the V-6 but employs a sophisticated suite of electronic chassis controls and available 4-wheel steering to handle with exceptional prowess for its weight. The RC F takes the place as the brand’s performance leader from the IS F sports sedan.

William was presented the car during a private ceremony at the dealership Lexus: Coupes ■ From previous page on Dec. 23. He is married and has a young daughter. “I’ve looked at Mercedes before, but never thought I would own one. It’s a great car, and safe for the family, especially because it has all-wheel-drive,” says William, an 11 Bravo Bradley Master Gunner. William was chosen from more than 300 nominees entered during the competition. His nomination was submitted by his mother-in-law, who wrote a stirring tribute noting William’s repeated tours of duty in Iraq, where he suffered a broken hand and received several awards for rescuing members of his units during attacks. “Pride of country and love for his family are evident in everything he does. I hope you agree that there is no one more deserving than Beau Childs and I am so proud that he is a part of my family and I am deeply honored to nominate him as My Hero!” she wrote. Swickard, whose father was a Vietnam veteran, has long been involved in philanthropic efforts and decided to give away a new car to a military person. Instead of us just choosing someone at random, he launched a statewide Nominate A Hero search that included a website where a photo and a story could be submitted.

LEE AARP Have a reaction plan Precautionary measures can be taken to reduce the chances breakdown. The easiest way is to keep your vehicle well-maintained. In the cold winter months it’s especially important to check the air pressure in all tires, tire tread wear, and your vehicle’s fluids regularly. You should also carry an emergency roadside kit in your vehicle that includes signaling devices, a pocket knife, a flashlight, a first aid kit, water, nonperishable food, and a warm blanket. If you are a frequent traveler, consider investing in a roadside assistance service. Use your hazard lights When you sense a problem with your vehicle and decide to pull over, turn on your hazard lights or “emergency flashers.” Hazard lights will visibly notify other drivers you may be driving slowly or erratically. When other drivers see your hazard lights flashing it makes it easier for them to respond and allow you to pull over to reach the shoulder.

PHOTO: COURTESY AARP Pull over the right way Get help If you do feel the need to pull over and are on the highway or interstate, the ideal course of action is to pull off at a rest stop or get off at the nearest exit. However, if you suspect your vehicle will not make it that far and you must use the emergency shoulder, make sure your vehicle is as far to the right as possible. Once parked, stay inside your vehicle with your seat belt on, whenever possible. If you must exit the vehicle, always do so from the right side to avoid traffic. If you know you’re going to need assistance, use your cell phone to call a roadside assistance service or the highway patrol. In the case that you do not have a cell phone, hang a white cloth or a piece of paper out your window and wait for the highway patrol. Also make sure your car doors remain locked at all times. Set up traffic warning signals If you have enough distance between your vehicle and the nearest lane, and traffic is not too heavy, carefully exit your vehicle on the right hand side to set up a traffic warning signal. Cones, reflective triangles, or flares can all be used. Then quickly return inside your vehicle. Safety should always be your first priority, so only exit your vehicle if it is necessary and safe to do so. For more tips on how to stay safe on the road, consider taking a driver improvement course, such as the AARP Smart Driver course, available online or in a classroom setting near you, in both English and Spanish. In some states, you may even be eligible for a multi-year insurance discount upon completion of the course. AARP membership is not required to take the course.

Late last year, the company activated a software feature that alerts users when there has been a recall on cars that they own or are looking to purchase. Now AutoAp is also working with dealers, including the Carr Auto Group, to provide a daily recall report on every car on their lots. The company’s recall database is updated and verified daily. AutoAp differs from many used-car information sites by allowing users to enter the parameters of vehicles that they are looking for, and the app then notifies them of when a vehicle that matches becomes available. According to AutoAp, this eliminates the need to repetitively search other used car websites to find a perfect match. AutoAp is available as a free download in the iTunes store and at Google Play. Auto jobs soaring According to the Detroit News, the United States auto industry added 6,700 jobs in January, hitting its highest level since March 2008. Automakers and parts companies now employ 913,200 people in the country, and accounting for nearly one-third of all new manufacturing jobs in January. Industry employment is up by nearly 300,000 jobs since hitting bottom in June 2009. The job growth is being fueled by strong auto sales, which rose 13.7 percent in January, in part because of low gasoline prices increasing the demand for trucks and other large vehicles. Auto dealers are also adding jobs, and were up 2,900 jobs in January to 1.21 million, the highest level since June 2008, the Detroit News reports.

The association, which produces the show and party, donated the remaining $150,000 from other funds it raises throughout the year. “I was thrilled at the generosity of the citizens of Portland and our own dealer body,” said Greg Remensperger, MPNCDA and PIAS executive director. “It was a remarkable night of giving on behalf of organizations that strive to serve the most needy in our community.” Four of the charities have benefited from the Sneak Peak Party in the past. They are Providence Portland Medical Foundation, Meals on Wheels People, Boys and Girls Club and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The two new charities this year are the Brain Injury Alliance of Oregon and Victory Academy, a school that serves children impacted by Autism. $13,888 $24,888 2011 CAMARO SS Rare 6 Speed, Leather, Moon Roof, Heads up Display. #35564 See More Values at www.gage auto.com All Vehicles Freshly Serviced and Inspected!! 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 Running Boards, Automatic, AM/FM/ CD, Air, Just 29K Miles. #35533 1 AT $13,000 1 AT 1 AT 2009 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 Automatic, 3.7L V-6, Power Options. #34919 $14,888 1 AT 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LT AM/FM/CD Stereo, Power Options, Alloys, Traction Control, More. #35371 $15,888 1 AT 1 AT $18,888 $14,888 $15,888 2011 TOYOTA RAV4 4X4 Automatic, Air Conditioning, ABS, AM/FM/CD.

Breakside Brewery and Hopworks Urban Brewery are heading to Iceland Feb. 26-27 for the nation’s annual beer festival, marking 26 years Icelanders have been allowed to drink beer.

Now in its fourth year, the Icelandic Beer Festival’s lineup of U.S. breweries recently expanded to include beers from Connecticut (Two Roads) and Michigan (Founders). Yet Oregon beers have always been part of the event, and will remain a focal point, organizers say. “Our focus has been on breweries from Oregon simply because we like the way people from Oregon think and how the craft beer movement has been developing in that particular state,” says Ólafur Ígústsson, restaurant manager at KEX Hostel, the site of the festival in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital and largest city. “We feel that we can connect to people from Portland and all of Oregon. Reykjavik has a lot in common.” The Icelandic Beer Festival marks March 1, 1989, the end of the prohibition on beer in the country. “We feel like beer in Iceland needs its own festival so people can come together to celebrate this luxury beverage,” Ígústsson adds. “We want people to come and enjoy great beers, meet interesting people, eat good food and listen to music.” Breakside will bring two beers to the festival: Breakside IPA and Salted Caramel Stout. Breakside IPA, a hoppy American-style IPA, is the company’s flagship beer and won the Gold Medal at last year’s Great American Beer Festival.

And focused on brunch? The fried chicken for brunch idea might be sublime — and, in fact, is — but that doesn’t mean people would get it. At least not right away. That’s the same thing Bamboo Izakaya is facing now, as a fourmonth-old restaurant on crowded Northeast Alberta Street. The little sister to Bamboo Sushi — the Northwest Portland eatery billed as the first sustainable sushi restaurant in the world — is still trying to define itself. The dinner hour is packed, noisy and fueled by an expansive bar menu of expensive sake, Japanese whiskey and Japanese shochu. A little wild, as an izakaya — a Japanese drinking establishment — should be. But the weekend brunch crowds haven’t yet materialized. That’s despite the hoards of hungry Portlanders and their dogs waiting in line across the street at the Tin Shed, where hungry masses patiently wait for hours. Brunch at Bamboo Izakaya (which will open a downtown outpost within months) tries to be a friend to all, but ends up three-quarters hipster, one-quarter Americanized Japanese. Take, for instance, the bacon flight. Yes, worthy of a “Portlandia” sketch of its own, this tray of five strips of bacon from five regions is $11 and ranges from least to most smoky. The dry-aged, slow-smoked Carlton Farms holds its own well against the out-of-town bacon from California, Idaho, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The bacon flight is the unique offering here. Other hipster staples are ever-present: Not one, but two types of kimchee Bloody Marys, fancy eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, Belgian waffles with duck confit, and vanilla-ginger french toast. And, of course, the signature Bamboo burger, $14, with wagyu beef, caramelized onions and Dancing stars 501695.021915 507 SW Broadway Portland, OR 97205 503.227.3437 JudithArnellJewelers.com Bamboo Izakaya When: 5-10 p.m. MondayThursday, 5-11 p.m. FridaySaturday; brunch 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday-Sunday Where: 1409 N.E. Alberta St. More: 503-889-0336; bambooizakaya.com Tillamook white cheddar. There is no sushi for brunch here, and no ramen. There also isn’t any of the kushiyaki — meat cooked over the authentic Japanese binchotan charcoal and Robata Yaki grill, somewhat sterile without the billowing smoke. That’s a shame, since the binchotan-grilled salted mackerel with citrusy ponzu sauce for dipping, specifically, is worth driving across town for. The pork belly, skirt steak and chicken skewers are tender, but missing the char a backyard barbecue gives. All of that Japanese fare is saved for dinnertime, after 5 p.m. So what is Japanese, exactly, about Izakaya’s brunch? Brunch isn’t a thing, exactly, in Japan. Breakfast in Japan as I remember it consists of artfully arranged trays of fish and rice, miso soup and lots of little bowls of things like natto (a fermented soybean that is a very acquired taste), pickled veggies, tofu and chawanmushi (an egg custard dish). Bamboo Izakaya doesn’t bring this, except a few token dishes. The oyakodon (chicken and egg over rice), $10, and ochazuke (literally meaning tea rice, this one with grilled ocean trout as well), $11, show their finesse with Japanese fare. There’s also cold-smoked steelhead, $10 — not with rice, but frisee, coriander creme fraiche and potatoes. The trout does double duty as one of three protein toppings for the eggs Benedict, along with dungeness crab and pork tenderloin. At $21 for a half-order of all three, this brunch can get spendy. Yes, it’s eclectic. But it’s also confusing. Cucumber slices in the water? More spa than izakaya. ■ Angel (volunteer/donor excellence) — Dorothy Lemelson; she’s chair of The Lemelson Foundation and a generous arts patron. ■ “Barney” Creative Prize — Kate Weare; she’ll receive $15,000 to create a new dance work for a future White Bird season.

But why not a Japanese pastry, like mochi (a chewy rice cake) or anpan (a sweet roll filled with red bean), which are art forms in and of themselves? With Portland’s obsession for Asian food, Bamboo Izakaya’s brunch service could have been a place to worship the art of Japanese pub fare and all the comfort it brings.

All three showcase the Northwest flavor profile, love of hops, and the company’s mission for organics and high-quality beer. Hopworks’ Thomas Bleigh says he’s interested to see how the Northwest beers are perceived in Iceland and also learn more about the local beers in Reykjavik. “Drinking for me is an extension of community and social interaction,” Bleigh says. “I’m looking forward to expanding the conversation with Iceland.” Direct service from Portland to Reykjavik is set to begin this spring.

DeLuca opens for Lanois at this show, which promises to be one big dreamscape, given both artists’ penchant for slide guitars, dobros, lap steel, all that stuff that puts the “bloo” in the “blooze.” Both men also like channeling their source instruments through a universe of effects, giving them all kind of cosmic connotations. Rocco sings as if he’s the second cousin of Ian Astbury, favoring a tenor style steeped in poetry and observation. His new album is the third Lanois has produced for the swampy troubadour.

It was real tough to just watch.” Since his WPC debut on Dec. 19, though, things have worked out nicely for Jones and the Knights. Going into Wednesday night’s Cascade Collegiate Conference first-round playoff game at home against Corban, he was averaging 15.9 points per game, just behind Doug Thomas’ 16.1. Jones had scored between 9 and 27 points in all 17 of his games, and was averaging 31.3 minute per game, also second-most on the squad. Jones finished the NAIA Division 2 regular season at 51.6 percent from the field and a teamhigh 44.2 percent on 3-pointers (34 of 77). “I compare him to Tim Hardaway from his days with the (Golden State) Warriors and (Miami) Heat,” Harvey says. “He’s impossible to guard oneon-one at this level. “He’s definitely one of the best point guards in the nation. It will be tough for him to get All-American, because he missed the first 12 games, but he’s definitely an All-Americancaliber player.” Jones’ first game was against crosstown rival Concordia. He had 17 points, four rebounds and three assists, with six turn- If you suffer bouts of acid reflux, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas or IBS; beware of digestion remedies like Prilosec®, Prevacid® and Nexium®...

Especially in people over the age of 50. So when AloeCure® was presented on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to find out they could finally get relief without having to rely on Prevecid®, Nexium®, Prilosec® and other dangerous proton pump inhibitors.

It buffers high acid levels with amazing speed.

Until Now, Little Could Be Done... But “AloeCure® can help virtually anyone. Even people with chronic stomach pain can feel better right away,” says Dr. Leal. And what’s really exciting is AloeCure® aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy, so intestinal distress stops coming back.

I was tortured for years by my Acid-Reflux. Sometimes I’d almost pass out from the pain. My wife suffers with digestion problems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.” COURTESY OF WARNER PACIFIC COLLEGE Warner Pacific guard Earl Jones, a 5-8 junior, sat out the early season to get acclimated in the classroom and on campus, then turned in on, averaging 15.9 points per game. It also was part of a 7-1 finish for the Knights, who wound up with a 14-4 league record and shared first place with C of I and Concordia. Jones says he isn’t satisfied with his first-year performance at Warner Pacific and wants “more and more” from himself as the team’s floor general. “I’m for sure going to go off for 30 (points),” he says with a laugh. “I just need to get more aggressive (on both ends of the court). Just need to get back to that killer mentality. “I want teams to be studying me and focusing on me. I don’t mean to sound cocky. Not that I’m LeBron James, but I want teams to scout for me. I want to be the very best, and I believe I’m one of the best players (in the NAIA).” Harvey says Jones came in and rewarded the Knights’ coaching staff for their faith in him. “He’s impressed since Day 1 on campus,” Harvey says. “He’s for sure a steal. The Lord works things out.” Jones looks forward to his next year of eligibility. “The goal is to finish school with a degree in sports medicine and get a job overseas, hooping,” he says. “Hopefully in Europe.” Anxiety and depression are in the past, and he is enjoying living in the moment. “I truly am happy,” he says. SPORTS B9 The Portland Tribune Thursday, February 26, 2015 Eggers: Adelman saw game change ■ From page 12 of their six children who live in Oregon, along with eight grandchildren (two more are on the way). “That’s been great,” Adelman says. “The grandkids are a ball. There are games on Saturdays to attend. It’s a lot of fun watching them grow up.” Adelman ended his 23-year career as an NBA head coach last April after three seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Over his 22 full seasons, Adelman experienced five losing campaigns — his two with Golden State from 1995-97 and and the three years with the Timberwolves. The Los Angeles native ranks eighth on the NBA coaches career-win list with a record of 1,042-749. He is 10th on the career playoff win list with a mark of 79-78. Adelman took 16 teams to the postseason, including the 1990 and ‘92 Portland teams that reached the NBA finals. Of the coaches ahead of him on the win list, only Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Jerry Sloan and George Karl have better winloss percentages. Does Adelman miss coaching? “Not really,” he says. “I miss being around the people. I miss the competitiveness. I miss the game itself. I don’t miss the everyday grind. It got to be too much.” What, specifically? “The travel,” he says. “Everything has gotten more intrusive. You have to speak (to the media) before and after every game. You get asked the same question over and over again, and you have no news. “When I first started, you’d go to practice and deal with your players and play the games. Now you’re dealing with the agents and the players’ lives. There are more everyday things. That part of it wasn’t fun.” Adelman was an original Trail Blazer, the point guard on Portland’s first NBA teams from 1970-73. His roommate on the road was Geoff Petrie, who served as his boss as general manager of the Blazers and Sacramento Kings from 1990-2006. After a six-year stint as head coach at Chemeketa Community College from 1977-83, Adelman served as an assistant coach with the Blazers for 5 1/2 seasons Rick Adelman, retired NBA coach, says his 1989-92 Trail Blazers teams are his all-time favorites. TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO: L.E. BASKOW under Jack Ramsay and Mike Schuler. When Schuler was fired in February 1988, Adelman took over the head-coaching reins. What followed was the best five-year run in the Blazers’ 45-year history. In Adelman’s five full seasons as head coach, Portland went 277-133 — averaging 55 victories — and twice made it to the NBA finals. The teams from 1989-92 featured Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Jerome Kersey, Buck Williams, Kevin Duckworth and Cliff Robinson. “That was the favorite group over my entire coaching career,” Adelman says. “I went from getting a job to getting to the finals my first year. That doesn’t happen very often. Those teams were special.” Adelman was fired by owner Paul Allen after going 47-35 in 1993-94 and being ousted in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight season. When Allen chose to dismiss Adelman, Petrie resigned his position. “I still believe they broke that team up too early,” Adelman says. “I wanted one more chance with that group, but that was Paul’s decision. And I’m great by Paul. He gave me my first shot.” Adelman went to Golden State, where his teams suffered through two losing seasons. Then Petrie, who had taken over as president/basketball operations at Sacramento, hired Adelman as coach. Thus began a remarkable eight-year run in which the Kings had eight straight winning seasons and reached the Western Conference finals in 2002, losing in seven games to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Kings, led by players such as Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, Vlade Divac and Mike Bibby, had five straight 50-win seasons. “I got to coach two teams that were really special,” Adelman says. “We didn’t win a championship, but both groups were fun to coach, yet totally different groups. “The Blazers were physical. We had the three best offensive rebounders at their position in the league — Clyde, Buck and Jerome. Sometimes it seems like we’d throw it up there just to get it back and get a better shot. Sacramento was a more finesse team. Everybody could pass. Everybody could shoot.” Adelman had four straight winning seasons in Houston, then moved to Minnesota, where injuries eroded what could have been a great turnaround from a 17-65 season the year before he arrived. Adelman’s Minnesota teams went 26-40, 31-51 and 4042. “The first year was a disaster,” he says. “I never had such a group of guys who didn’t know how to play in the NBA. They were undisciplined; they didn’t listen. “The second year, that group was starting to play pretty well, but Kevin Love broke his hand twice and Ricky Rubio hurt his knee. Last year, we had a great chance to make the playoffs, but we had guys missing throughout the whole season.” There were more personal concerns. In January, Mary Kay suffered a series of seizures, causing Rick to be away from the team for 11 games. At the end of the season, Adelman chose to retire. “I believe I could have returned,” he says, “but it was the right thing to do. It was a combination of things — not just Mary Kay’s health, but me, too. The last three years were really difficult. I wanted to get out of the rat race. “We wanted to get back to Portland. Minnesota is tough in the winter. We had a place downtown. I was five to 10 minutes from the arena. But it got to be too much.” Adelman isn’t sure he likes what has become an impossible NBA game to officiate. “The league won’t be happy with me saying it, but we used to have a rulebook,” he says. “Now we just have interpretations. There are no rules anymore. Every few years, everything changes. “The most dramatic thing is post defense. The rules changed five, six times through my coaching career. There are no traveling calls anymore. (Referees) have too much to look at. You have to get used to it, you have to accept it, and the players and coaches generally do. They go with the flow, and they understand that’s the way it’s going to be called. Sometimes it changes game to game, and you have to adjust to that. “Players are so athletic now, and it has become an impossible game to referee. They do their best, but there are so many younger officials, it takes them awhile to figure it all out.” Adelman says there are many changes in the game since he began as a player in the late 1960s. “It’s completely different from when I played,” he says. “The coaching is so much better now, with the scouting and the number of coaches. Everybody is prepared for every game. “The 3-point shot has changed everything. It used to be that every team had post-up players. There are not a whole lot of postup players in the league anymore. It’s all 3-point shooting. The game is spread out, and the big people are very skilled, too, shooting 3’s. The players are so much better now.” Adelman always did a great job working with the varying skill sets of his players. “You have to adapt to the team you have,” he says. “Everybody talks about a system. Your system has to be able to adjust to the talent you have. “(San Antonio’s Gregg) Popovich has shown that. His team now is totally different than it was before. Good coaches adjust to the players because it’s a players’ league, not a coaches’ league. I don’t care who you are, if you have bad talent, you’re not going to win in the league.” How did Adelman do it? “By understanding every player is different,” he says. “You don’t treat everybody the same. There are some players who accept more discipline. Other players will not allow you to call them out in front of the team or in the newspaper. You have to put the players in a position where they feel they can succeed, and the team can succeed, too. If you can win, they’ll buy into it. “That’s a hard thing nowadays. Many players have an entourage. It’s not one agent; sometimes it’s four agents. It’s family and friends and hangerson. Everybody has an influence. You have to figure out how to deal with that. The only way you can is to form a relationship with the player, where he trusts you. Otherwise, he’s not going to listen to you after awhile.” Adelman did a marvelous job of getting his players to buy in. He got the most out of players who had feuded with other coaches, players such as Rod Strickland and Webber and Latrell Sprewell. A rare exception was Tim Hardaway, whom he had trouble with at Golden State. “I blame a lot of that on myself,” Adelman says. “I went from the Trail Blazer job, where everything broke well for us until the end when they fired me, but it was a great scenario. When I went to the Warriors, I listened to people I shouldn’t have listened to instead of doing it how I felt it should be done. I alienated Tim, got on his bad side, and it was hard to turn that back around. We ended up trading him and making other trades, and it didn’t work out. “I learned my lesson. If you’re going to succeed, you’d better figure out a way to get along with your main players. For the most part, I was able to do that.” Coaching is in his rear-view mirror now, with family issues at the forefront. Mary Kay’s health has improved. “Doctors have never identified exactly why she had the seizures,” Adelman says. “They think it might have been some type of virus. She has not had any lately. The medicine is hard on her, but she’s doing good.” One of Adelman’s three sons, David, coached with him in Minnesota and remains on the Timberwolves’ staff under Flip Saunders. “That was one of the hardest things about walking away,” Adelman says. “I brought David into it, and now he has to earn his own way. But that’s what it’s all about.” The oldest boy, R.J., worked as director of player personnel with the Timberwolves during Rick’s time there. R.J. is now living in Houston. The youngest son, Patrick, is in his first season as head coach at Thurston High in Eugene. “He does a good job,” Adelman says. “I’ve seen his team play three or four times.” The three girls — Kathy, Laura and Caitlin — are in Portland. Adelman says he is finally beginning to feel like a retired person. He’s on the first of a three-year contract as a consultant with the Timberwolves, but says that hasn’t occupied much of his time. Adelmen, who has dealt with Type 2 diabetes in recent years, he is spending more time exercising. Rick and Mary Kay own a vacation home in Black Butte and recently spent 10 days vacationing in Arizona, where he got out his golf clubs for the first time in more than a year. “We want to travel some,” he says. “Now we have the time.” While in Sacramento, the Adelmans bought the house in Dunthorpe, and it now has become home. “It’s been great being back in Portland full time,” he says. As a reporter who has always respected Adelman as a coach and enjoyed him as a person, I’d like to see two things happen. The Blazers should stage a Rick Adelman Night during a game at the Moda Center. Introduce him, allow the fans to cheer for him, and reward him for the 14 years he spent with the franchise as a player and coach. And Adelman should join his mentor, Ramsay, as a member of the Naismith Hall of Fame. “I don’t think about that,” he says. “I wonder about some of the people who have been left out. Bill Fitch and Dick Motta aren’t in. George Karl? Doesn’t seem right. “It would be an honor to get in, but I’m not concerned about it. I won’t feel incomplete if I don’t make it. I was very fortunate in my career. I had really good players and had some success. And the best place of all was Portland. It was a great run. I’m thankful.” kerryeggers@portlandtribune.com Twitter: @kerryeggers Everything you want to see.

Blake has struggled with his shot this season, though he was on Monday night, sinking all four 3-point attempts and going 4 for 6 from the field while scoring 13 points in 14 minutes. Blake is shooting .371 from the field and .344 from beyond the arc this season. Stotts likes Blake’s dependability as a set-up man and Blake’s decision-making, but the veteran’s playing time could be affected if Afflalo proves to be an asset. Leonard has come on strong as a “stretch 4” forward in recent weeks. He is shooting .524 from the field and .435 from 3-point range. Once Freeland returns — and that should be soon — Stotts must weigh Freeland’s value as a strong defend- er and better rebounder against what Leonard brings, and decide who gets the minutes. The loser in that duel will still get some opportunities. So will McCollum, small forward Dorell Wright, and perhaps defensive specialist Alonzo Gee, who came to Portland from Denver in the Afflalo trade. But Stotts’ straight eight will be the five starters plus Blake, Kaman and Afflalo. Add either Leonard and Freeland and you have the players who will gobble up most of the minutes the rest of the season. kerryeggers@portlandtribune.com Twitter: @kerryeggers 7609 SE Stark Street • 503-254-7387 • mrplywoodinc.com Family Style Customer Service You can use your VA Loan benefit more than once! • Delivery Service • Custom Cutting • Special Orders STOP PAYING RENT! 100% Financing - No Money Out Of Pocket 697-7214 Office 703-5227 Mobile NMLS Personal 263844 NMLS Business 233782 488582.111314 100% Cash-out Debt Consolidation refinance available Call Tom Fitkin Fitkin VA Loan Specialist Rice and David Littleton of Washington, and Dave Hildahl of Madison. ...

In Klamath Falls, Dan Miles is in his second season as men’s basketball coach at Oregon Tech. His team is 32-0 at home in its new gym and reaches the NAIA District II finals before falling to Willamette. Both teams are 24-4, but the Bearcats get the berth to the national tournament. Oregon State, which has a total athletics budget of $1.7 million, is facing a possible $90,000 deficit for 1974-75. The budget committee recommends raising the cost of a football ticket from $8 to $9 and aiming to increase seasonticket sales by 1,000 from the current 5,500. OSU President Robert MacVicar says all sports, other than football and basketball, should cut some spending and make “some tough decisions.” OSU athletic director Jim Barratt, meanwhile, brings in Playboy “playmate” Barbi Benton to sing the national anthem before the home game against Washington State.

Peyton plans to compete Portland lightweight Ray Lampkin takes world champion Roberto Duran to the 14th round at Panama City before getting knocked out, literally, by a left hook. Duran, 23, has 49 wins in 50 bouts, with 42 KOs. Lampkin, who was rated the No. 1 contender, goes to a local hospital and says the 80-degree heat and humidity wore him out. Lampkin collects $15,000 for his efforts; Panama’s Duran gets $80,000. The Trail Blazers smack Golden State 122-86, with Sidney Wicks not only getting 21 points and 14 rebounds but holding Rick Barry to three points on 1-for-11 fieldgoal shooting.

PortlandTribune.com SportsTribune PAGE B12 PortlandTribune THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2015 BLAZERS RESET THEIR ROTATION TRIBUNE PHOTO: JAIME VALDEZ New Trail Blazer Arron Afflalo (4) congratulates Steve Blake after a 3-point basket in Sunday’s game against Memphis, which was Afflalo’s first with Portland. ■ New arrival Afflalo joins top eight, will play at two positions By KERRY EGGERS The Tribune The acquisition of Arron Afflalo changes plenty with the Trail Blazers as they head toward the playoffs. The 6-5, 215-pound Afflalo, recently arrived via trade from Denver, is going to play. The questions are, in what role, and how much? Also: What does Portland’s rotation look like moving forward? Blazers coach Terry Stotts addressed that before Afflalo’s Portland debut, a 98-92 loss to Memphis Sunday night at Moda Center. “There are 240 minutes (to dole out each game among players),” Stotts says. “I’ve always said we have our five starters, plus Steve (Blake) and Chris (Kaman). Now you add Arron. That’s eight players. How much deeper do I go than that? Probably another ‘big,’ but it’s hard to play more than nine guys.” The additional ‘big’ would be either 7-1 Meyers Leonard, who has been playing the best ball of his three-year NBA career, or 6-11 Joel Freeland, who had missed 21 games with a partially torn rotator cuff going into Wednesday night’s home date with San Antonio. More on that in a moment. Afflalo’s Portland debut against Memphis was OK, nothing more. He sank a 17-foot baseline jumper on his first possession late in the first quarter and finished with eight points on 2-for-6 shooting to go with four rebounds, two assists and two turnovers in 24 minutes. Stotts used Afflalo in place of Wesley Matthews at shooting guard and with Matthews while small forward Nicolas Batum was on the bench. “Arron is a very good scorer, a good 3-point shooter, a tough defender,” Stotts says. “I see him as a wing player. He’ll blend in well whether he’s playing alongside Wes or Nic. It will depend a lot on the matchups.” The Blazers should be stronger with Afflalo’s presence. “Big-time,” Memphis veteran Zach Randolph says of the acquisition of Afflalo. “He knows how to play. A great pick-up for them.” “It’s huge,” Batum says. “He has experience. He had a great year last year in Orlando. He brings it every game. He al- ways seemed to play well against us. I’m glad he’s my teammate now.” Afflalo, 29, is in a backup role for the first time since his second of two seasons in Detroit, which drafted him out of UCLA in the first round of the 2007 draft. During his final (junior) year at UCLA, Afflalo was a consensus All-American, Pac10 player of the year and MVP of the West regional in leading See BLAZERS / Page 11 Retirement’s a winning game for Rick Adelman L ast week, George Karl returned to the bench, taking over head coaching duties with the Sacramento Kings. Karl, 63, hasn’t yet gotten the bug out of his system. Rick Adelman has. “I’m retired,” says Adelman, 68, visiting with a reporter he has known for more than 25 years at a Portland coffee shop. “I had a lot of years. Now it’s time for me to do other things.” What those things are, Adelman isn’t quite sure. KerryEggers ON SPORTS The man who meant so much to Trail Blazer basketball as both a player and coach is still transitioning into retirement after an NBA career that spanned 3 1/2 decades. “What have I been doing? Not all that much,” Adelman says with a laugh. “It seems like time just flies by.” Adelman and his wife of 44 years, Mary Kay, have kept busy moving their possessions from their Minneapolis condo to their home in Dunthorpe. They’ve spent time with the four See EGGERS / Page 9 Former NBA and former Trail Blazers coach Rick Adelman says he hasn’t been doing much in retirement, but “it seems like time just flies by.” MELISSA MAJCHRZAK/ GETTY IMAGES Jones makes most of his second chance After four-year hiatus from basketball, point guard shines for WP By JON FUCCILLO For The Tribune Four years without competitive basketball were like hell on Earth for Earl Jones. “I thought life was over,” he says. “I was lost.” Now Jones, a former Mt. Hood Community College star, is back in uniform, playing for nationally ranked Warner Pacific College and enjoying the student-athlete ride again. “I don’t know where my life would be without this second chance,” says the 5-8, 170-pound guard from Henderson, Nev. Jones, a Warner Pacific junior, has a hard time explaining why he left the college game after earning all-league honors at Mt. Hood in 2009 and 2010. He left Mt. Hood before graduating, because of “personal issues that I needed to address.” He also says it boiled down to life choices and taking more responsibility for his actions. “I was immature and made a lot of mistakes,” he says. Jones says while he was out of college he struggled a lot with anxiety and depression, while working various jobs in the Las Vegas area. “Those were the worst times of my life,” he says. “I was so depressed and missed being in college and playing the game I loved so much. I really messed things up. ... “ Jones says he started to feel numb most days, but never gave up hope. He also continued to push himself in the gym and worked on his mental toughness. He also grew a special relationship with his other love — his daughter, Jaelynn, now 5. Jones’ dream of playing professionally someday and pro- viding for his family was fading, until he reached out to a friend, Steffen Harvey, who is in his third year as an assistant coach at Warner Pacific. “Me and Earl have become pretty close over the last few years,” Harvey says, noting that the two have spent “lots of hours going at each other oneon-one” and in open gym games, Thanks in part to Harvey, Jones was able to land a spot on the Warner Pacific roster. “I was ready to go play at Portland State after Mt. Hood, but things just didn’t work out,” Jones says. “I’m just thankful to be playing again. I was running out of options and reaching out to different coaches. “But I had a coach and people who believed in me at Warner.” Jones, 24, sat out the first term this school year at Warner Pacific to focus on his grades and get caught up. He had to wait to get on the basketball See JONES / Page 8 After four years away from college basketball, point guard Earl Jones returned to action as a junior for the Warner Pacific Knights, and helped the Knights earn a co-championship in the Cascade Collegiate Conference regular season.
