Senate removes HQ hotel hurdle
Bill approved to build
convention center inn
without voter OK
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
The saga of the Oregon
Convention Center headquarters hotel moved back
to Salem last Wednesday,
where the state Senate
approved a bill to help it get
built.
The Oregon Legislature had
previously approved $10 million
in state lottery funds for the hotel that Metro wants built across
the street from the center it owns
and operates. But opponents
have kept the $212 million project
tied up in the courts for years by
challenging Metro’s legal ability
to build such a project without
voter approval.
Senate Bill 927 passed by a
vote of 20-10. It confirms Metro’s
authority to build such projects
without asking voters to approve
them. The bill now goes to the
Oregon House, where it will be
referred to a committee for one
or more hearings.

bills to scale

payments to Washington
County.
The county has received 99
percent of the nearly $75 million paid out during the first
three years under Gain Share
— and half of that amount was
paid about a year ago. Washington County signed a new
agreement with Intel, their
fifth, last summer.
One critic says none of the
three bills goes far enough.
“We believe Gain Share was
a mistake,” Jody Wiser of Tax
Fairness Oregon testified
Wednesday to the Senate Finance and Revenue Committee.
“You should end it, and none
of these bills does that. We prefer that it be repealed outright.”
But James McCauley, who
spoke for Washington County,
says all of Oregon benefits
from Gain Share, which couples property tax breaks for
large-scale investment with
state funds that partly offset
those losses to counties.
“It’s something, honestly,
that should be replicated and
looked at for other investment
opportunities that are in place
right now,” McCauley told the
lawmakers.
He says other current economic development incentives,
such as enterprise zones and
urban renewal, involve only reductions or freezes in local
property taxes.

Hotel: Lodging tax to fund bonds
■ From page 1
boost the state’s tourism economy, and
leverage private investment in the metropolitan region,” said Sen. Chuck Riley (D-Hillsboro), who carried the bill
on the floor. “An independent analysis
cited by Metro shows that this project
will generate $5.6 million in new state
tax revenues and $4.7 million in new local tax revenues annually. These are
revenues that will help support our
schools, our public safety, and future
economic development endeavors.”
Metro, the elected regional government in the Portland area, argues a
600-room hotel with special features to
appeal to convention-goers will increase the number of large conventions held at the center every year. The
current proposal calls for the hotel to
be privately built, owned and operated,
but subsidized with public construction and operating funds. Metro plans
to sell $60 million in revenue bonds to
help pay for the construction, and an
additional $18 million in other public
grants and loans have been identified
for the project. The development team
will put up the rest of the money.
Opponents include several existing
hotel owners in the Portland region.
They argue the project puts the public
at risk financially, but Metro President
Tom Hughes says they simply don’t
want the competition.
The opponents challenged Metro’s
authority to help finance the hotel in
both the Multnomah and Clackamas
county courts. Judges in both counties
ruled in Metro’s favor, but the opponents appealed those decisions to the
Oregon Court of Appeals.
The hotel would be owned and operated by Hyatt Hotels. Once it opens, the
company would be able to use the
Multnomah County transient lodging
taxes generated at the hotel to finance
the bonds.
The Multnomah County Commission has amended its policies governing transient lodging taxes for that to
happen. Opponents tried to refer that
vote to the ballot, but a Multnomah
County judge ruled it was an administrative decision that cannot be referred. Opponents also have appealed
that decision to the Oregon Court of
Appeals.
Before agreeing on the financing
plan, a labor peace agreement was
signed between Hyatt and the union
representing workers. Construction is
planned to begin in fall 2015 and be
complete in early 2018.

Jitneys: Streetcar companies fought back in 1915
■ From page 1
and rail lines.
“They were big and not responsive to public demands,”
Thompson says. “They were demonized like TriMet is today.”
One-fifth of Portland’s breadwinners were out of work. Those
with jobs depended on the
streetcar to get to work.
Henry Ford had just figured
out how to mass-produce cars,
making used vehicles affordable
to the masses for the first time.
One summer day in 1914, an
enterprising Los Angeles man
put a sign on his car and cruised
along streetcar lines, offering to
get people to their destination
sooner for the same nickel fee.
The idea spread rapidly, egged
on by William Randolph Hearst’s
newspaper chain, says St. Louis
transportation historian Carlos
Schwantes. By December, jitneys
started operating in Portland,
home to the nation’s third-largest electric rail system.
Often the jitneurs — jitney
drivers — lacked drivers’ licenses, their vehicles were unsafe,
and they paid no taxes to the city.
The city commissioner in
charge of public utilities, Will
Daly, called them a “fly-by-night”
fad that wouldn’t last, and thus
no city regulations were needed,
according to contemporary accounts in The Oregonian newspaper.
But then the streetcar and
power company president,
Franklin T. Griffith, testified before the Portland City Council at
the end of January 1915. Revenues were down $1,900 a day in
December, much of that caused
by the jitneys, Griffith complained. In two weeks, the number of Portland jitneys grew
from 50 to 125.
Like Uber today, the jitneys
were accused of cherry-picking
the most lucrative customers
without having to serve those
who didn’t earn them a profit.
WHAT’S A JITNEY?
Portland’s
privately owned
streetcar
company had a
franchise to
serve much of
the city. Jitneys
just trolled the
most lucrative
routes.
Jitneys were cars or small buses
driven by enterprising men who
trolled the streetcar lines of
Portland and other World War I-era
cities, offering to pick up waiting
passengers.
Jitney was another term for a U.S.
nickel, the standard fare charged
by the drivers, or jitneurs, and the
streetcars.

“They take the close-in business without which the streetcar company cannot live,”
Griffith testified. “We are
forced by the city to operate
where we lose money.”
Money-losing routes included “stub lines” that dead-ended in Russell and Shaver
streets and Errol Heights,
Thompson says. They were
built by real estate developers
to get people to buy homes in
new subdivisions along the
new streetcar lines.
Days after Griffith’s appearance, all Portland city commissioners agreed jitneys needed
to be regulated.
They wanted to require permits, drivers’ tests, and safety
inspections on the jitneys.
They wanted to assign jitneys
to zones, so they’d cover the
entire city and not just duplicate streetcar service and put
it in a downward spiral.
“The people of Mount Scott
are as much entitled to jitney
service as the people close in,”
Daly declared. The first assigned jitney route, he suggested, should be along Hawthorne Avenue.
Competition works
Regulations thwarted
Faced with new competition,
the streetcar company claimed
on Feb. 5, 1915, that it reduced
passenger wait times.
That’s similar to what’s occurring now at Radio Cab, which recently changed its dispatching
system to reduce customer wait
times. “It’s cut our response
times in half,” says Steven
Entler, general manager. “Our
response times will match Uber
easily.”
And like Uber today, the jitney
drivers fought city regulatory efforts, openly defying the law.
On Feb. 27, 1915, the Portland
police chief reported that automobile accidents were way up
that month, and he traced 14 of
them to reckless driving by jitneurs.
The city traffic engineer reported there were now 337 jitneys operating in the city, based
on manual counts at the bridges.
He predicted jitneys would soon
disappear, though, because unsophisticated drivers were actually losing money if they accounted for depreciation of their
cars, which would need to be replaced every few years.
In April, the City Council approved the first jitney regulations, requiring permits costing
$2 a month, driving tests, vehicle
inspections, night lights, and
weekly fumigation of the cars.
Jitneys were barred from clogging downtown traffic, and required to get franchises to operate on designated routes.
“If they hadn’t regulated the
jitneys, then the trolley companies would have ceased some
lines,” Thompson says, causing a
downward spiral in services and
revenues.
Still, Portland’s regulations
were branded the most lenient of
any big city in the country. There
was no insurance requirement
to cover accidents involving passengers and pedestrians, as in
Washington state and many other cities.
Even so, the regulations never
were fully enforced.
Jitney drivers gathered signatures to force a public vote on
the regulations, potentially delaying them two years. To avoid
that, the City Council retracted
the ordinance and put it on the
June 1915 ballot.
exterior running boards.
The Oregon Supreme Court finally upheld the city ordinance
in January 1916. But eight
months later, The Oregonian reported that many of the regulations, including the required
routes, had never been enforced.
On Nov. 16, 1916, the city arrested 57 jitney drivers who still
refused to follow the city’s franchise and designated route requirements. Then the jitney drivers came up with a new legal
ploy: establishing themselves as
taxi drivers but continuing to operate as jitneys only along the
streetcar lines.

Outside help sought to
probe state data breach
Governor’s action
follows third hack
in 13 months
Gov. Brown to
hire independent
expert to review
vulnerabilities at
the state data
center.
By HILLARY BORRUD
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Gov. Kate Brown
announced Thursday she will
hire an independent expert to
review management practices
and vulnerabilities at the state
data center, after hackers
gained access to information
at the center last week.
Brown also directed state
Chief Information Officer Alex
Pettit to take charge of daily operations at the center “for the
foreseeable future.”
The data breach occurred at a
time when two top managers at
the data center — Michael Rodgers, acting director of the data
center, and Technical Engineering Manager Marshall Wells —
are on paid administrative leave
pending a human resources investigation. The two men have
been on leave since February
and remained on leave Thursday,
according to a spokeswoman for
the Department of Administrative Services.
Auditors from the Secretary of
State’s office were already conducting a routine review of security at the data center when the
breach occurred. They had identified vulnerabilities at the data
center in a 2010 audit, but a
Tribune file Photo
March 2012 follow-up audit mostly gave the data center good
marks for security.
Brown revealed the data
breach in a press release Thursday, and said she planned to ask
leaders in the Legislature for
money to pay for the review.
The governor said an “unknown external entity” had accessed limited information at the
data center. Chris Pair, a spokesman for Brown, described it as
information about the location of
data on state computer servers,
but not the actual data. State employees notified the governor of
the breach on March 20, and Pair
said it occurred a few days before
that.
It was the third high-profile
data breach to occur at a state
agency in the past 13 months.
Hackers accessed the Secretary
of State’s business registry and
campaign finance databases in
February, and the Oregon Employment Department revealed a
similar breach in October.
The state data center, which is
housed at the Department of Administrative Services, also came
under scrutiny in February when
a staffer for then-Gov. John
Kitzhaber asked employees at
the center to delete emails from
Kitzhaber’s personal account
that were stored on state computer servers. Employees ultimately refused to delete the
emails, and the U.S. Department
of Justice has since subpoenaed
the emails and other state records for an investigation into
Kitzhaber and his fiancee, former first lady Cylvia Hayes.
Willamette Week reported on
the deletion request, and emails
from Kitzhaber’s personal account were apparently leaked to
the newspaper. Michael Jordan,
who was director of the Department of Administrative Services,
asked the Oregon State Police to
investigate the leak.
Kitzhaber resigned Feb. 18
amid two criminal investigations
into allegations he and Hayes
used their public positions to
benefit Hayes’ consulting business. Jordan submitted his resignation to Brown March 5 without
explanation.
Before Jordan resigned, he
told The Oregonian that Rodgers
and Wells were placed on leave
during an internal investigation
into a dispute over how to handle
computers and phones used by
the Kitzhaber administration.
“Oregonians should not have
to worry that their personal information such as Social Security numbers, home addresses or
health records held by state
agencies could be accessed illegally,” Brown said in a press release Thursday. “Although I have
been assured that no personally
identifying information was compromised, this incident causes
me to have serious concerns
about the integrity of state data.”
Brown said the state will use
an “expedited competitive process” to hire the independent
expert to review management
and vulnerabilities at the data
center.
Ironically, the governor’s office
revealed the data breach the
same day Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum appeared before
a legislative committee to testify
in favor of a bill that would expand protections for consumers’
personal data. The bill would also allow the state Department of
Justice to pursue civil penalties
against individuals and organizations that fail to comply.
With Democrats in majority,
environmental lobby hits hard
Salem lawmakers
throw their weight
behind key issues
By HILLARY BORRUD
Capital Bureau
Environmental lobbyists are
on a roll this year in Oregon.
They notched a big win early in the session when lawmakers passed legislation to
make the state’s low-carbon
fuel standard permanent. Now,
lobbyists for a coalition of
groups have turned their focus
to bills that would require utilities to stop using power from
coal plants by 2025.
That work isn’t cheap.
In 2014, a broad spectrum of
environmental groups spent
nearly $470,000 on lobbying in
Salem, according to EO Media
Group/Pamplin Media Group
Capital Bureau’s analysis of
state lobbying records.
The organizations range
from small groups that promote water quality and wildlife issues, to industry organizations that seek incentives
for renewable energy and efficiency projects.
Still, spending by the environmental lobby is low compared with other industries. A
single energy interest group
— the Western States Petroleum Association, which opposed the low-carbon fuel
standard — spent just under
$360,000 on lobbying in Oregon
last year. All interest groups
reported spending a total of
nearly $27 million on lobbying
in the state last year.
“We definitely don’t spend
nearly as much money on lobbying,” said Christy Splitt, a
registered lobbyist and coordinator for a coalition of environmental groups called the
Oregon Conservation Network. “I’m not going out to
dinner with legislators, or
whatever other people are
able to do, spending money on
lobbying. I think most of what
we spend on lobbying is going
to pay people’s salaries.”
The environmental lobby
does have several advantages,
including strength in numbers
and strong support from Democratic lawmakers this session. At least 55 registered lobbyists represent environmental interests in Oregon, and
most are employees of the
groups they represent and do
other work in addition to lobbying. In addition, Splitt said
there are pro-environment
majorities in both chambers.
Environmentalists did not
always enjoy such a strong position in Oregon. The Oregon
Conservation Network formed
20 years ago at a time when environmentalists spent a lot of
time fighting bills aimed at undermining “good” legislation
passed in the 1970s, Splitt said.
Republicans had control of the

get $94.2 million of the projected
$94.9 million in state funds in
the next two-year budget cycle.
The other $700,000 would be
split among Clatsop County —
which has the Wauna paper mill
operated by Georgia-Pacific —
and five Eastern Oregon counties. They are Gilliam, Morrow,
Sherman, Umatilla and Union
counties.
The two-year budget proposed by then-Gov. John Kitzhaber on Dec. 1 would have limited
that amount to about $45 million, and some lawmakers have
talked about taking part or all of
the projected $95 million for the
state school fund.
A long history
Gain Share builds on the
Strategic Investment Program,
which lawmakers created in
1993 to enable counties to approve property tax breaks for 15
years to attract new businesses
or encourage their expansion.
The minimum qualifying
amounts for investment were
$100 million in urban counties,
$25 million in rural counties.
Gain Share started after lawmakers decided in 2007 to allow
the state general fund to help
counties offset part of their
property tax losses. The payments are based on half the
estimated income taxes generated by new employees, as calculated by the Oregon Business Development Department
from information supplied by
the businesses.
Under original projections for
two budget cycles from 2009 to
2013, the program was to cost
the state budget $5.1 million.
The actual amount paid out during that period was $36 million,
all but $500,000 of which went to
Washington County.
“A modest compensation
package has morphed into a
program that hemorrhages millions of dollars from our general
fund and disproportionately
benefits one county while reducing available school funding,” says Sen. Ginny Burdick,
D-Portland, sponsor of one of
the bills proposing changes.
Burdick says she regrets voting for the 2007 bill.
But Inga Deckert, who spoke
for the City of Hillsboro, says,
“It was good policy then, and it
is just as good a policy today.”
What’s next
Senate Bill 129 has the endorsement of the Association
of Oregon Counties, League of
Oregon Cities, and two of the
state’s major business groups
— Associated Oregon Industries and the Oregon Business
Association.

Lobbyists: ‘Coal to clean’ bills are priority
■ From page 3
PUSHING ENVIRONMENTAL AGENDA
House Bill 2729.
Both would require utilities
to stop generating or purchasing electricity from coal power
plants by 2025. The Senate version also would require companies to replace coal power
with electricity from sources
“at least 90 percent cleaner
than coal-derived generating
resources,” according to a legislative summary.
Splitt said other priorities
this year include a bill to require private forestland owners to provide notice to the
state and keep other records of
their use of pesticides; a bill to
appropriate money for the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife to spend on conservation; and legislation that would
allow the state to end a mandate to generate revenue from
timber harvests on some public forests.
Environmental groups also
are pushing for the passage of
legislation that would preserve or create incentives for a
range of solar projects, from
residential to utility scale facilities. Lawrence said solar
energy “still needs a little bit
of a hand in the next step in
putting it on a level playing
field with fossil fuel.”
Splitt said environmental
groups also want money for
public transit to be included in
any funding package for street
maintenance and other transportation projects. The outlook for that package is unclear, since Republicans
stopped participating in talks
after Democrats passed the
low-carbon fuel bill.

The formal lawmaking process began Monday, when the
House Judiciary Committee
considered one of a trio of bills
aimed at profiling.
Its chairman is Rep. Jeff
Barker, D-Aloha, a retired Portland police lieutenant and onetime State Police trooper, who
says he wants to combine elements of all three bills into
House Bill 2002.
Among the nine committee
members are Reps. Andy Olson
of Albany and Wayne Krieger of
Gold Beach, both retired from
the Oregon State Police.
“That has affected the conversation a lot,” says Salome
Chimuku, public-policy director
of the Center for Intercultural
Organizing based in Portland,
and a leader of a coalition effort
to ban profiling.
Eduardo Corona has had personal experience. While driving
a newer car, he says he was
stopped twice within a week,
once by the Washington County
sheriff and once by Hillsboro
police.
“I asked why, and they said
they were just checking,” says
Corona, who lives in the county.
“Maybe the car was too nice,
you can say that. When I was
driving my old junker, I was not
stopped.”
Such bans usually cover race,
ethnicity and skin color. One in
five Oregonians is classified as
a member of a minority in such
groupings.
As written, House Bill 2002
proposes nine other categories:
Age, gender, homelessness, language, mental disability, national origin, political affiliation, religion and sexual orientation.
“We understand profiling
looks different in every community, but it happens,” Chimuku

with Tim Hohl and Terry Travis
says. “So we want to make sure
the (legal) standard in Oregon
is that we do not tolerate people
being stopped and questioned
based on a characteristic that in
most cases they are born with.”
According to a national report issued by the NAACP last
fall, Oregon is among 20 states
— five of them in the West —
without a formal ban on profiling.
A profiling ban is one of three
priorities listed by a coalition of
minority groups earlier this
year at a City Club of Portland
forum.
Rep. Lew Frederick, D-Portland, one of two black members
of the current Legislature, is
chief sponsor of HB 2001, 2002
and 2003.
“Profiling goes beyond the
outcome of any one encounter,”
Frederick says. “Over time it
leads to buildup of resentment
based on lack of respect, and
that resentment leads to increased tension carried into the
next interaction with officers,
and that isn’t good for citizens
or officers. Profiling damages
the police due to lost credibility,
and damages the community
due to lost trust.”
Senate Bill 486, sponsored by
Sens. Chris Edwards, D-Eugene,
and Chuck Thomsen, R-Hood
River, also contains elements of
the House bills.
Who handles complaints?
In addition to a state ban on
profiling, other proposals would
require police agencies to set a
procedure for people to file
complaints and have them reviewed, and for an outside agency to analyze complaints and
make recommendations. What

Police body cameras will help everyone
MyVIEW
By Jeff Dickerson
P
olice officers have been
recording their conversations out in the field
at least since the advent
of the mini-cassette recorder.
Throughout my
26-year career,
law enforcement has used
audio (and later
audiovisual) recordings to regularly document certain
contacts and
dickerson
preserve evidence of
crimes.
Technology has been the
driving force behind innovations in what is recorded and
how it is stored. Law enforcement agencies are wise to
adapt to new technology and to
capitalize on those innovations
that improve officer safety, reduce police liability, and create
better documentation of police
actions.
Body-worn cameras (“body
cams”) provide the latest innovation in audiovisual recording
of police encounters and, while
novel in approach, the philosophy behind their use is not
new. Body cams provide an improved tool in the hands of
prosecutors, law enforcement,
defense attorneys, victims and
the public for getting to the
truth of matters that previously
might have been subject only to
human recall. Body cams —
when functioning and wellplaced on the officer — can provide real-time video footage
with accompanying audio from
the perspective of the officer
engaged in a wide variety of enforcement and/or emergency
calls for service.
Because the body cams are
as mobile as the officers or deputies who are wearing
them, they present a higher
likelihood that a law enforcement encounter will be captured on video, thus providing
a higher likelihood of indisputable documentation of the
events police officers and deputies encounter every day.
But police, the courts, or the
public shouldn’t see body cams
as the panacea that will solve
all of our documentation challenges. Cameras — even when
operating correctly — generally will not capture every image,
sound or other environmental
factor that affects a police officer’s decisions. Camera angles
can block certain views. The
camera can become dislodged
from the officer. Officers will
not always have time to react
fast enough to activate their
cameras before making crucial
decisions (For example, Darren
Wilson in Ferguson, Mo., became engaged in a physical
struggle with Michael Brown
while the officer was still seated in his patrol car).
The media and the public
will need to temper expectations with the understanding
that, while police agencies may
be adopting body-cam policies,
there will be plenty of times
when video of law enforcement
will not be available — not only
due to exceptions that occur
outside the officer’s control, but
also due to policy that properly
provides for officer discretion
(A police officer may appropriately decide not to record certain contacts with victims or
witnesses out of respect for
their privacy, for example).
Still, I believe the use of
body cams to be the next in
line in the long-standing tradition of police using every possible tool to provide the best
documentation of the decisions
they make — from the decision
to make an arrest to the decision to use force in the defense
of an officer or citizen.
There is no way we can
guarantee that every encounter will be recorded, but I
know that we will have access
to considerably more understanding of events that occur
than we do now.
This expands the transparency of police organizations
and increases the likelihood
that encounters between the
public and the police are welldocumented. It has the potential to improve police professionalism and reduce false accusations against officers. It
can make the difference in civil
cases or in creating a safer environment for officers — when
those who might otherwise do
them harm know that everything is being recorded. These
have always been important
goals for police administrators,
and body cams are the latest
tool developed to help meet
those goals.
Jeff Dickerson is the Columbia
County sheriff. Columbia County
sheriff’s deputies recently began
wearing body cameras when dealing
face to face with jail inmates.

Planners need to manage growth better
C
arol McCarthy, I really
like your question: Are
we paying the planners
to manage growth, or
to promote it? (Growth plan
doesn’t foster livability, guest
column, March 10). While I live
in downtown Portland where I
expect construction noise and
welcome at least some of the
growth, I also would like planners to do a better job of managing for that growth.
Would you believe that in the
West Quad Plan, planners had
only one Implementation Action under Environment for
downtown’s major residential
area, the West End, in a plan
that’s to be in effect for the next
20 years? I suggested 12 new environmental Implementation
Actions to the City Council.
After presenting them at the
council hearing, I sent a few
emails to get some attention for
them. But I wish I had taken
your example and gone to the
media for help. Most of my new
actions did not make it into the
plan (none would have if it
weren’t for city Commissioner
Amanda Fritz).
Anyway, thanks for your
work to create a better Portland. I do hope that others will
follow your lead and offer comments on the Comp Plan.
Mary Vogel
Downtown Portland
highlights what’s at stake and
what needs to be done, and now.
Whether one believes global
climate instability is caused exclusively from burning fossil fuels is beside the point. The fact
is, the laws of physics don’t lie,
and the weather is changing,
and it’s affecting us all.

Proposed courthouse
site fraught with
problems
I must say I agree with Dennis King about the botched job
in siting a new courthouse
(There are better sites for new
courthouse, guest column,
March 26). If the judges and
staff insist on a river view, there
appears to be a whole block for
sale at the west end of the Morrison Bridge.
As an additional point, I wonder how they expect to transport
prisoners to the proposed location? Currently Multnomah
County blocks off part of Fifth
Avenue with their transport bus
and moves prisoners in through
the back door of the courthouse.
I wonder if they plan on blocking off First Avenue to unload at
what appears to be the only
street-level access?

Weather is changing,
Don’t deny employees
whatever the cause
paid sick leave
I just wanted to give a “thank
you” shout-out to Patrick
O’Herron on his commentary
(Support the transition from
coal to clean, guest column,
March 19). It is spot on and
Paid sick time is a major
public health necessity. That is
why I support Senate Bill 454,
which requires employers to
provide paid sick time for their
employees.
Only 29 percent of Oregonians earning less than $20,000
per year have paid sick time
benefits. For a family of three,
this puts them below the poverty line so they already have
little to spare without the added risk of losing work to illness. Because of this, lower-income employees are more likely to attend work while sick
and potentially expose their
colleagues and customers to
contagious diseases.
I understand employer concerns about government-mandated benefits, but there’s inherent risk and liability in not
providing paid sick time. How
great a reputation would a restaurant have if a sick employee
comes to work because they
have no other choice and
spreads their disease to all the
food and people they come in
contact with?

Schools beyond
PPS have kids with
problems
Portland Public Schools
(PPS’ discipline issues, Tuesday, Feb. 17) are not the only
schools facing high rates of expulsions and suspensions.
School districts across the
nation are facing similar problems, resulting in a breakdown
in educating due to a lack of respect by some pupils who
threaten teachers with
“threats of violence and death
or break up physical fights, only to have the students show up
back in class with no consequences.”
Teachers who I know feel
abandoned by the administration for a lack of solutions and
leadership. We need to restore
discipline and authority in our
school system. Otherwise, we
are set to fail the next generation.
Nationally, districts are looking at the breakdown of the
family, with single parents living in poverty, where there is
no authority or structure, and
how parents are failing their
own kids’ future by not teaching them respect for authority
and respect for others.
Rather than being preoccupied with the results of expulsions and suspensions, maybe
those kids who don’t want to fit
in should be put in schools
with strong structure and discipline, and help them to succeed, and not impact the majority who want to learn, but
can’t.

The gas tax can be increased
at state, county and city levels
for all vehicles to provide money for bridge and road repairs.
High-mileage hybrid and electric cars might be assessed an
additional mileage fee collected
when vehicles are re-registered
at DMV every two years. The
mileage fee can be trued up
whenever a vehicle changes
owners.
Metro may be influential by
using its lobbying power to double the gas tax in Multnomah
County from 3 cents per gallon
to 6 cents per gallon. Likewise,
it should lobby Salem to double
the Oregon gas tax from 30
cents per gallon to 60 cents. Finally, it should lobby Portland
to create a 5-cent-per-gallon gas
tax by the city of Portland.
All gas tax money needs to
be spent on road and bridge repairs until roads and bridges
are 90 percent in good or better
condition.

Gas taxes, other

transportation
All cars should be
charged per-mile fees
Regarding the story (Metro
ponders new regional funding
for transportation, March 17):
Metro can lobby for increasing the number of lanes at the
two-lane Interstate 5 bottleneck
at the Broadway/Moda Center
interchange.
Metro might lobby for two
more Columbia River bridges to
be constructed in the Portland
Metro area. Options to cross
the river will lessen traffic on
the existing I-5 and I-205 bridges, and shorten commute times.
Not just electric and hybrid
vehicles should be charged a
per-mile fee (Metro ponders
new regional funding for transportation, March 17). Don’t forget high-mpg cars like Smart
Cars and Civics ... and don’t forget fuel cells, natural gas cars,
etc.
Currently people who need a
pickup, SUV, large car or minivan pay an unfair amount while
these others get off easy, if not
free.

of Wisconsin. John and Roberta then moved to
Newark, Delaware where he became a Professor of
Chemical Engineering at the University of
Delaware. In 1969, they moved to Rochester, New

Kathleen Buczkowski, life-long
resident of Portland, OR and Gleneden
Beach, OR died peacefully in her sleep
on Friday, March 20, 2015 at the age of
84.
Kathleen Jane McGee was born on
October 29, 1930 in Portland, OR to
Norbert and Elizabeth McGee. She had
four siblings: sisters Louanne, Betty,
Mary and brother Norbert. Kathleen
graduated from St. Mary’s Academy in
1948 and attended Northwestern
School of Commerce. She met Florian
“Buzz” Buczkowski on the front steps of church when
Buzz’s mother introduced them in January 1949. They
were married on June 17, 1950. They were blessed with
six children: Debbie Palmer, Mark Buczkowski, Kathleen
Buczkowski, David Buczkowski, Paul Buczkowski and
Gary Buczkowski.
Her first job was as a legal secretary for Prudential in
the real estate department where she worked for two
years until her first child was born. After staying home to
raise her children, Kathleen went to work for the
Centennial School District as a Library Administrator in
1966. She was a hard-working and dedicated employee,
working as a secretary wherever she was needed in the
Centennial School District for 25 years. Kathleen was a
devoted wife, and the marriage she had with her husband
of 64 years was something admired by all. She was proud
of all her children; dedicating immeasurable time helping
them excel in education and extra-curricular activities.
She and the family spent many weekends bonding at the
beach house, taking advantage of all the recreation and
relaxation it offered. She loved playing card or dice
games and always had a mystery novel nearby. She
enjoyed crocheting, crafting and sharing her creations
with family and friends. Kathleen was always willing to
volunteer or take on what needed to be done, no matter
the need. Kathleen and Buzz enjoyed square dancing and
spent most of their retirement together traveling all over
the US and Canada dancing and serving as officers of the
Barn Owls, River City Dancers and Toledo 49ers. They
also enjoyed traveling to Europe, Hawaii, Mexico and
several cruises. Kathleen enjoyed being close to her
family and making new friends wherever they went.
Kathleen is survived by her husband Buzz
Buczkowski, brother Norbert McGee, 6 children, 12
grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. She is
preceded in death by her parents and sisters. Kathleen
will be deeply missed by her large, loving family.
A funeral Mass will be held for Kathleen on April 1,
2015 at 11:00 am at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic
Church, with a Rosary service beginning at 10:30am.

Region’s first Bus Rapid
Transit line moves forward
By JIM REDDEN

A new light-rail train will be used on the Portland-to-Milwaukie
Orange Line when it opens in September. TriMet says construction is on
time and under budget.

Portland-Milwaukie
light-rail project
beats budget goals
By RAYMOND RENDLEMAN
Pamplin Media Group
TriMet says the PortlandMilwaukie Light Rail Line
scheduled to open on Sept. 12
will come in millions of dollars under budget.
Although the exact savings
won’t be known until 2019, the
regional transit agency estimates the savings on the $1.49
billion project will be in the $10
million to $40 million range.
“Not only are we improving
our transit system with this project, we’re delivering it on time
and under budget,” TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane
said when the estimates were
announced Friday, March 27.
According to McFarlane,
much of the savings is due to historical low interest rates, which
allows TriMet to borrow construction funds for less than previous estimates.
Half of the cost of the project
— called the Orange Line — is
being paid by the Federal Transit Administration. It will recover 50 percent of the savings, an
amount somewhere between $5
million and $20 million. The final
figure will not be known until
the federal appropriations conclude, according to TriMet.
With the assistance of U.S.
Sen. Jeff Merkley, the FTA has
granted TriMet permission to
use some of the savings to add
back a number of previously approved project elements that
were eliminated during the final
negotiation in 2011 of the full
funding grant agreement.
The FTA will fund 50 percent
of these items, which TriMet
says will improve winter operations with additional heated
switches and ice caps installed
on top of the overhead power
wire. They also include adding
shelters at MAX stations along
the line. These restorations will
cost about $3.6 million.
TriMet also announced last
week that the project is substantially complete, meaning only
intermittent, short-term construction activities will continue
through the summer.
Regional transit agency officials warned the public not to
touch the wires for the overhead
catenary system being installed
along the light-rail alignment.
No person or equipment should
come within 10 feet of the wires,
and any work planned within
10 feet of the overhead wires

committee also has designated
The Portland-Division Transit Southeast Powell Boulevard as
the route to and from downtown
Portland, and Southeast Division
Street as the route to and from
Gresham.
The committee made another
major decision at its March 16
meeting — to run buses in and
out of downtown Portland over
the Tilikum Crossing bridge that
is part of the Portland-Milwaukie
Light Rail Project. It was chosen
over the Ross Island Bridge,
which was the other option under consideration.
The remaining decisions require more study, however. Perhaps the most important is
where to connect Powell and Division. The majority of the committee clearly supports using
82nd Avenue, which would run
the buses past Portland Community College’s newest campus
and the heart of the emerging
Jade District. But because 82nd
is already so busy, Metro also
will study 50th and 52nd avenues
as alternatives. PCC Southeast
could still be reached from the
intersection of 82nd and Division.
Another decision is the route
buses will take between Powell
and the transit center being built
just east of OMSI, where they
will access the Tilikum Crossing.
More complicated is the route
from the Gresham Transit Center to Mt. Hood Community College, the eastern end of the proposed line. The committee wants
it to serve several large employment centers along the way, including Legacy Mount Hood
Medical Center and Gresham
Vista Business Park, both of
which are on Southeast Stark
Street.
The committee will meet
again June 1 to review the additional information that has been
generated by then.
Profiling: 20 states have no formal ban
■ From page 4
that procedure would be — and
which agency should get that
responsibility — are still subject
to negotiation.
A spokesman for the Oregon
Association Chiefs of Police says
it is too early to determine what
a negotiated bill would contain.
“I can tell you we are working
closely with the proponents of
the bill and legislators to try to
craft something together,” Kevin Campbell, the group’s lobbyist, tells the Portland Tribune.
Proposals would empower
the Oregon Criminal Justice
Commission to set independent
procedures for receiving and
handling complaints, and for
the Criminal Justice Division
within the Oregon Department
of Justice to collect and analyze
them.
“The problem is that some
people do not feel comfortable
going into a precinct or department that is engaged in that
type of behavior, because they
may see the individual (officer)
who did that to them.” Chimuku
says.
According to the NAACP report, 17 states provide for a commission to review and respond
to such complaints.
“In many other states, the attorney general is the one who
looks at patterns or practices,”
Chimuku says. But she also says
both sides agree that decision
should be left to a future work
group.
Unlike similar profiling laws
in 17 states, Chimuku says it is
unlikely that a negotiated bill
would require police agencies in
Oregon to collect information
about police stops and searches,
as has been proposed in HB
2001.
“We believe we are doing
some things very well in Oregon,” Campbell says on behalf of
the police chiefs. “We will work
to ensure that our communities
continue to have confidence in
our police officers and agencies.”
A long history
Some Oregon police agencies
have conducted their own datagathering efforts, going back a
decade or more. The Portland
Police Bureau has collected such
data in some form since 2001.
From Aug. 5 to Dec. 31, 2011,
the bureau reported almost
25,000 stops, which broke down
into these categories: Whites,
71.8 percent; blacks, 11.8 percent; Hispanics, 6.2 percent;
Asians, 4.5 percent.
A state panel appointed by
the governor has reviewed data,
issued annual reports from 2005
to 2012, and focused on improved training of officers at the
state public safety academy in
Salem.
The panel’s 2012 report estimates that almost 2,000 officers
have received special training
since 2008.
However, the panel — known
as the Law Enforcement Contacts Policy and Data Review
Committee, and housed within
the Criminal Justice Policy Research Institute at Portland
State University — suspended
its work after its grant funding
ended in 2013.
The Portland Police Bureau
responded to a 2009 report from
the PSU institute, which remains
active, in February 2014. The bu-
reau changed to a new reporting
system for traffic stops in 2011.
Although he made his comment last week in a different
context — on proposed legislation governing use of body
cameras by police — Portland
Mayor Charlie Hales said the
issue still turns on whether
there is trust between police
and the people they serve.
“The Police Bureau, like
any agency, is continuously
adopting and updating policy
for how their officers do their
work,” Hales says. “We are
doing that with the public’s
direct input and with transparency into what the rules
are for how our officers operate.”
Corona, the Washington
County resident, is working to
set up a communications business to bridge cultural gaps.
Elsewhere in the world, he
says, police often have more
sinister motives for stops.
“Our people get nervous
when they are stopped, even
when they have done nothing,
just because it is something
cultural,” he says.

City Council will vote April 8 to authorize voter-approved bond funds
for parks improvements.
City rolls out parks
bond cash, projects
A baker’s dozen of
items is ready for
the first phase
By JENNIFER ANDERSON
The Tribune
Portland Parks & Recreation is ready to get rolling
with its $68 million in voterapproved bond funds.
The Portland City Council
will consider an ordinance
Wednesday, April 1, to authorize its first issuance of up to
$29 million in general obligation bonds for the first phase of
parks improvement work, to
happen over the next two
years.
The ordinance will also appoint an oversight committee
for the parks bond projects, to
include one appointee from
each commissioner’s office.
“Obviously, voters are aware
Parks will watch their money
carefully,” Commissioner
Amanda Fritz said.
The schedule for the first
phase of work will be fairly
straightforward, Fritz said.
It will include 13 projects —
most being urgent repairs such
as the mechanical systems at
the Grant Pool and the Couch
Park playground, which had to
be closed because of safety issues.
That community has a discussion underway about
whether it would like to fundraise to build more than just a
basic park.
After the first phase, about
$20 million will be left for projects in the second phase, Fritz
said. A public engagement
planning process for that
would begin in fall 2016.
But there’s still a huge gap in
deferred parks maintenance.
“We have a list of $300 million in fixes that need to be
made,” Fritz said. “We definitely want engagement from the
community to help prioritize
what should be done in the second phase. By no means does
this cover all the need.”
Meanwhile, Fritz said she’ll
address the gap in her city budget request.
Fritz said she was grateful to
voters for recognizing the
needs and supporting the
parks whenever asked. “I think
people understand we just
need more funding,” she said.

requires a permit through TriMet.
Light rail trains are testing
intermittently along the alignment through the spring, and
light rail operator training begins in June.
In Portland, major continuing
activities include construction
of the Rhine-Lafayette pedestrian bridge, the stairs and elevators for the SE Bybee Blvd. Station, and the Park & Ride lot at
the SE Tacoma/Johnson Creek
Station.
The new quiet zone in Portland is now in effect at the rail
crossings at Southeast Eighth,
11th and 12th avenues. In the
quiet zone, light rail and heavy
rail train operators are not required to sound their horns as
they approach a crossing, although they are allowed to use
their horns at their discretion.
In Milwaukie, periodic flagging may occur on Harrison,
Monroe and Washington streets
and on Southeast 21st Avenue
as crews work on pedestrian
crossing improvements, landscaping, roadway striping and
traffic signals.
Crews are also working on
the station area on Lake Road
adjacent to the new Kellogg
Bridge, where city officials are
considering making a financial
commitment to pedestrian approaches in an amount that is
dependent on a Metro grant.
This area is open for local access only until light rail opens in
September.
Also in the Milwaukie area, a
new section of the Trolley Trail
is now open between Park Ave-
nue (at 27th Avenue) and River
Road (at Bluebird Street).
The Milwaukie quiet zone is
scheduled to go into effect May
1 at Southeast Harrison, Monroe and Washington streets,
and at 21st Avenue and Adams
Street, and at Mailwell Drive.
TriMet reminds all motorists,
cyclists and pedestrians to be
alert at the tracks. Always expect a train, even if you don’t
hear a horn. Obey all signs and
signals, and never cross while
gates are lowering or while bells
and lights are on. To learn more
about MAX Orange Line safety,
visit trimet.org/pm/safety.
The 7.3-mile Orange Line is
the region’s sixth MAX construction project. It will run
from southern end of the MAX
Green and Yellow lines at Portland State University in downtown Portland to South Water-
f r o n t , i n n e r S o u t h e a st
Portland,and Milwaukie to
North Clackamas County.
The project includes 10 stations and the Tilikum Crossing,
the first of its kind multi-modal
bridge in the United States that
carries light rail and streetcar
trains, buses, bicyclists and pedestrians, but no private vehicles. When completed, the project will expand the MAX system to 60 miles and 97 stations.
Project partners include: the
FTA; the state of Oregon; Clackamas County; Metro; the city of
Milwaukie; Multnomah County;
the city of Oregon City; the Oregon Department of Transportation; the city of Portland; the
Portland Development Commission; and TriMet.

Flags are flying at half-staff in
Multnomah County this week in
honor of former County Commissioner Gretchen Kafoury,
who died March 13.

A memorial service for First Congregational United
Kafoury was a former threeGretchen Kafoury will be held at Church of Christ, 1126 S.W. Park term legislator and was working
as the human services coordinator for the city of Portland when
she was elected to the Multnomah County Board.
As county commissioner, she
continued her legislative priorities of health care and mental
health care while adding criminal justice, homelessness and
school-based health centers to
the list.
She also was an activist. Nine
days after taking office in January 1985, she marched on the office of the South African consul
in Portland to protest apartheid.
Within three months, she
spearheaded a controversial
resolution to ban discrimination
in county hiring on the basis of
sexual orientation. As someone
who lobbied for gay rights bills
during the 1973 Legislature only
to see them fail by a few votes,
she strategically pursued a
county ban by resolution — in-
stead of by ordinance — in order to ensure the measure survived.
As a Multnomah County commissioner, she championed the
needs of young people, helping
to bring county services for
pregnant and drug- and alcoholaffected teens to east Multnomah County neighborhoods.
She oversaw the opening of a
primary care health center at
Roosevelt High School in 1986,
the first of what would become
13 school-based health clinics.
She also worked to strengthen public safety and prevent
crime.
She advocated for the construction of new dorms at Inverness Jail and additional residential treatment for drug- and
alcohol-addicted inmates, and
was a key supporter of the forest work camp and restitution
center.
She also voted to transform
the private Library Association
of Portland into the Multnomah
County Library system.
As a young woman, Kafoury
had campaigned for Robert F.
Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign, “galvanized,’’
she said, by idealism. She became an advocate of gun control
after Kennedy’s assassination.
In March 1990, Commissioner
Kafoury cast the deciding vote
to enact the first local gun control ordinance in Oregon.
By then, she also had announced she would not seek reelection to the board. She was

DRAGON BOAT
AWAKENING
S
unny skies and warm temperatures blessed the crowds of
onlookers who attended the traditional awakening of the
dragon boats ceremony on Saturday.
Led by Buddhists from Hui Lin Temple in West Linn, the
ceremony began with a Buddhist prayer followed by a performance
by local lion dancers.
The procession then walked down to the docks where each dragon boat had its eyes painted by several local dignitaries, including
Emma Waibel, the 2014 Rose Festival queen.
From there, dragon boat crews paddled their boats around the
marina while the Portland Fire and Rescue fireboat provided a water cannon salute.
Dragon boat crews are already preparing for the Rose Festival
races that will take place on June 6-7.

Tales of

By KERRY EGGERS
The Tribune
Alonzo Gee made by far the
biggest contribution in his
month-plus as a Trail Blazer
in last week’s 122-108 loss to
Golden State at Moda Center.
The 6-6, 220-pound small forward — starting alongside
Dorell Wright in the absence in
injured regulars LaMarcus
Aldridge and
Nicolas Batum
— scored 10
points on 5-for10 shooting and
had three rebounds and two
assists in 31
GEE
minutes. A
good portion of
Gee’s time was spent following
Stephen Curry around screens
and trying to keep the Warriors’
point guard in check.
Curry collected 33 points and
10 assists, but Gee earned praise
from Portland coach Terry
Stotts for his efforts.
“ ‘Zo’ did a nice job,” Stotts
said. “He was aggressive (going
after) loose balls and made some
hustle plays, which is what we
were looking for.”
At the game-day shootaround,
teammate Damian Lillard said,
“Coach (Stotts) told him, ‘We
need you to wear out ‘Steph’ like
you wore out ‘Dame’ his rookie
year.’”
That was when Gee was a
starter for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“He picked me up fullcourt
the whole time and made me
work,” Lillard said. Curry “was
tough to handle, but ‘Zo’ was
ready. I thought he played real
well.”
Since being acquired along
with Arron Afflalo in a trade
deadline deal with Denver on
Feb. 19, Gee has scored 22 points
in 73 minutes of nine games,
with nine DNP-CDs (did not
play/coach’s decision). So the
chance to contribute on the
court pleased him.
But this is not a player who
intends to make waves, no matter what his role.
“Coming from where I came
from?” asked Gee, who turns 28
in May. “I’m just glad to be in the
roster. I appreciate being in the
NBA.”
Gee recently had his story
chronicled by Lee Jenkins in the
“Point After” column of Sports
Illustrated. Over the past nine
months, the Florida native has
been with — unofficially, at least
— seven NBA teams. From
Cleveland to Charlotte to New
Orleans to Houston to Sacramento to Denver to Portland, all
in less time than it takes for a
baby to go from conception to
birth.
Gee whiz.
“Kind of hard to believe,” he
said with a smile.
Undrafted out of Alabama in
2009, Gee signed a free-agent
contract with Minnesota but
was waived after a week of training camp. He spent most of the
2009-10 season with the Austin
Toros of the NBA Development
League, earning Rookie of the
Year honors while averaging
21.0 points and 6.6 rebounds in 36
games. He signed a pair of 10day contracts with the Washington Wizards, scoring 19 points in
his first career start on March
26. Two days later, he was waived
and picked up by San Antonio,
but he did not see any action
during the regular season or
playoffs.
Gee played in 56 games, with
34 starts, with San Antonio,
Washington and Cleveland during the 2010-11 season. He began
the season with the Spurs but
was waived on Nov. 16, then
signed by the Wizards a week
later. He was waived on Dec. 20
and signed by the Cavaliers a
week later, finishing the season
and finding a home there for
some time.

EVEN UP
By KERRY EGGERS
The Tribune
It was tight, it was physical, it
was a defensive struggle.
When it was over, the Winterhawks had emerged with a 3-0 victory over the Seattle Thunderbirds
Sunday at Moda Center, evening their
Western Hockey League best-of-seven first-round playoff series at 1-1.
After giving up a 3-2 third-period
lead in a 4-3 loss in Saturday night’s
opener, Portland was the more forceful team in Game 2, outshooting the
visitors 39-21 and limiting good scoring opportunities as goaltender Adin
Hill notched his first career playoff
shutout.
“We gave up a little too much last
night, and we learned our lesson,”
said Portland’s first-year coach, Jamie Kompon. “We competed hard
every shift. It was a well-played game
on both sides.
“Last night, we gave up three rush
goals, which is very uncharacteristic
of our team and disappointing in
terms of our puck management
through the neutral zone. We wanted
to tidy that area up, and we did a good
job tonight.”
The final score was misleading.
Portland led 1-0 until the final two
minutes, when Seattle pulled goaltender Taran Kozun and the Hawks
capitalized with a pair of empty-net
goals.
The first was a beauty, by center
Dominic Turgeon on a backhand shot
from mid-ice with 1:58 to play.
“I applaud Dom for hanging onto
the puck there and having the composure to make sure he got to the puck,”
Kompon said. “And he got the emptynet (goal) — that was good, too.”

Turgeon’s score came mere seconds after Kozun had skated off the
ice to give the Thunderbirds an extra
attacker.
“The guys on the bench stood up
when Dom got it,” said Portland center Nic Petan, who got the only goal
in 37 shots against Kozun in the first
period. “It’s a hard shot from there,
but we needed it. Everybody was yelling ‘Shoot.’ We didn’t want to take
any chances icing the puck. It was a
good backhand shot.”
Twelve seconds later, with Kozun
still on the bench, Hawks right wing
Oliver Bjorkstrand got control of the
puck and sent it from just beyond the
blue line into the net.
“I like to score goals,” said Bjorkstrand, who led the WHL with 63 in 59
regular-seasons games. “Even

Thunder get things started
Rowley, Howard ignite
KO of KISS; first game
a success for new coach
By KERRY EGGERS
The Tribune
There is little reason to think the Portland Thunder will be a participant in
ArenaBowl XXVIII on Aug. 29 after their
season-opening 42-37 victory over the
Los Angeles KISS Friday night at Moda
Center.
On the other hand, the Thunder are 1-0
and unbeaten under first-year coach Mike
Hohensee, who is the Arena Football
League’s answer to George Halas.
Hohensee, 54, didn’t co-found the AFL.
But he threw the league’s first touchdown
pass in 1987 and has been with it since as a
player, assistant coach or head coach.
And when he looked up at a cheering
throng of 7,194 at game’s end, Hohensee
grew nostalgic.
“Are you kidding me?” Hohensee asked.
“From the intro video that (ex-AFL star) Rashad Floyd did, which was tremendous, to
the end when we won that game and you
looked up and everyone was standing on
their feet — that’s what Arena Football has
been for me for almost 30 years.
“It did my heart good to look up and see
them excited about what I’ve been doing for
such a long time.”
The opening-night win wasn’t easy, and at
times it wasn’t pretty against an L.A. team
that went 3-15 a year ago. It wasn’t secure
until the Thunder surrendered a successful
KISS onside kick and got a stop in the closing seconds.
“When they got the onside kick, it was
like, well, we still have some work to do,”
Hohensee said with a smile. “With a basi-
cally first-year team, with so many new
guys and staff, when you make a ton of mistakes like that and you win, that’s a coach’s
dream.”
The Thunder will be back at Moda on Friday for a 7 p.m. kickoff against the Tampa
Bay Storm.
“We have things we can show the players
on (video) that they can get better at, but
you can’t question their attitude or effort,”
Hohensee said after the Thunder’s opening
victory. “These guys have worked extremely hard. We had a little more left in the tank
than (the KISS) did at the end.”
Veteran quarterback Kyle Rowley was effective, completing 19 of 28 passes for 209

Barnett, the

that will remain in history. I

I was crazy enough to take a

Barnett, 70, has been with
the Warriors through 14

Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin), but
they didn’t have any bigs.

ends of the floor, and they
have the ability to score
quickly, not only through
shooting by Thompson and
Curry, but with their defense.
They get stops and steals and
all of a sudden, they’re hitting you with a 14-2 run.”
Barnett offers temperance
to those who think the Warriors are a lock to reach the
NBA finals for the first time
since the 1974-75 champions,
led by Rick Barry and Jamaal
Wilkes.
“They’ve proved they’re
special with the great record
this deep into the season, but
they haven’t accomplished
anything until the playoffs,”
Barnett says. “I remember in
2007, the Warriors got into
the playoffs as the eighth
seed on the last day and upset the 67-15 Dallas Mavericks in six games. Things can
happen, and there’s no free
ride in the West.”
While taking his paycheck
from the Warriors, Barnett
has enjoyed the ride.
“I’m having a lot of fun, but
I take it in stride,” he says.
“I’m not going to get too exuberant about anything until
the playoffs. Then I’m going
to start rooting for them.
We’ll do the first round and
then national television takes
over, and if they get that far,
I’ll be watching like everybody else.”
n Also in town was Brent
Barry, Rick’s son and the former Oregon State great now
working for TNT as a game
analyst and for NBA TV as a
studio analyst. The glib Barry
— who played 15 seasons in
the NBA and won a pair of
championship rings with San
Antonio — enjoys both roles,
“because it gives me a great
perspective to do both jobs,”
he says.
Usually, a team needs to
gradually rise through the
ranks in the playoffs to become a legitimate NBA title
contender. The Warriors
haven’t advanced as far as
the conference finals since
1975-76 and lost in the first
round to the Los Angeles
Clippers a year ago.
But Barry thinks the Warriors could have a long run
this spring.
“They lead the league in offensive and defensive efficiency and in point differential,” says Barry, 43. “Every
team that’s done that the past
30 years has gone on to win a
championship. Those are
good indicators of a team being very good.
“Plus, they’ll likely have
the home-court advantage
through the playoffs, so
they’ll be at Oracle Arena for
the games that mean the
most. They have good talent
everywhere. It’s just the
coach who is the problem for
them.”
Barry laughs, knowing that
the superlative job done by
Kerr will almost surely reap
him NBA coach of the year
honors in his first season at
the Golden State helm.
“It’s hard to find cracks in
anything the Warriors have
done this year,” Barry says.
“They’re 44-5 when Bogut is
in the starting lineup. Steve
has done a remarkable job of
limiting his minutes, and in
the last three weeks of the
regular season, because of
the cushion they have, he’ll
find games to keep him in
rhythm and times to make
sure he gets appropriate
rest.”

athletic genes behind the excellence of West Linn High’s
Payton Pritchard, the Oklahoma-bound junior point
guard who led the Lions to
their third straight state 6A
championship earlier this
month.
His father, Terry, was a
tight end at Oklahoma in the
mid-1980s. His mother, Melissa, was a gymnast for the
Sooners, winning the Big
Eight championship in floor
exercise twice and balance
beam once during the mid1990s.
Then there is Lisa Griffith,
Melissa’s sister and Payton’s
aunt, a four-year starting
point guard at Arizona from
1997-2000 who held Pac-10 records for 3-point shots made
in a season and career when
she was through.
“You can see the growth
emotionally with Payton
from the time he was a freshman,” says Griffith, who just
completed her second season
as West Linn’s girls coach.
“He has grown into the role
of being the leader of that
team. When they really needed him down the stretch of
games, he took them on his
back and took it home for
them.
“He relishes being in those
pressure situations. We get
more nervous than he does.
We’re all competitors and
want to see him do well. He’s
so calm and cool. I was most
proud of the composure he
shows. At key times, he
wants the ball in his hands.”
Griffith, a first-team allstate tournament selection at
St. Mary’s Academy in 1994,
has worked with Pritchard on
his skills.
“I’ve tried to pass on everything and anything I know
about the game to him,” she
says. “He takes it from a cerebral aspect. He studies the
game. He studies the great
point guards. He tries to emulate those types of traits.
“You see the work he puts
in on his body. He can play
through contact now. He is
strong with the ball. If you
were were to see one of his
morning workouts in his garage, it’s crazy.”

Hawks: Portland wins with ‘D’
■ From page 1
though it’s empty net, it’s still nice
to get it.”
The Thunderbirds’ defensive
strategy is to key on Bjorkstrand,
who has had hands, sticks and
bodies on him through the first
two playoff games. The emptynetter was his first goal of the series.
“When you have a player who
scores 63 goals, that would be my
key, too, to make sure he doesn’t
get time in space,” Kompon said.
“It was great to see Ollie get rewarded with the empty-net goal.
“He had a lot of good chances
tonight, but they did a good job
on him. We have to find a way to
make sure he gets free. He’s not
frustrated, which is really important.”
“I have to expect they’re going
to come after me,” Bjorkstrand
said. “I have to not to let it bother
me too much.
“Sometimes it’s hard. I’m going
to to try to calm down as they get
after me and not focus so much
about it. We know they’re going
to come after some of our top
players. I’ll just try to relax and
play my game.”
Hill made his biggest saves in
the second period after a Portland penalty put the Thunderbirds on a power play. That gave
the Winterhawks momentum
through the rest of the period,
and they had some good chances
that Hill knocked away.
“He made the saves he needed
to make,” Kompon said. “He was
big on the penalty kill when we
needed him. He stood tall. I was
happy with the way he played.”
“The defense was really good,”
Hill said. “We have a solid ‘D’
corps that played really well, and
our forwards were helping them
out by back-checking hard. It was
a good defensively played game.”
The Hawks were the No. 2
scoring team in the West during
the regular season, averaging
four goals a game.
“This was a character win tonight,” Petan said. “There aren’t
many games where you score
one goal (not into an empty net)
and win. It goes to show we can
play that kind of style for three
periods.”
Portland went 5-5-0-2 against
Seattle during the regular season. The teams are evenly
matched. Kozun, the first-team
all-Western Conference goalie
during the regular season, is going to be difficult to score goals
against. The Hawks, who have
reached the WHL finals in each
of the last four seasons, will be
hard-pressed to move on from
this series.
“It comes down to a break here
or there,” Kompon said. “Tonight
was an indication of how much
parity there is in the league. On
any given night, anyone can beat
anyone. They’re a well-structured, hard-working team, and
they don’t quit, as you saw (Saturday) night.”
Hill stopped short of saying the
Hawks were in a must-win situation Sunday night.
“But it was really important,”
he said. “Had we gone into Seattle (for Tuesday’s Game 3) down
0-2, that would have been rough.
It’s good to get the split here, and
hopefully we’ll get one up there.
It’s going to be a good series.”
Thunder: Strenuous camp pays off
■ From page 1
just two scores in the second half
— one until the final minute.
The Thunder weathered 10
penalties — five in the game’s
first seven minutes — and stumbled at times throughout the
game, but found a way to win in
the opener. That’s much different
than during their inaugural campaign last year, when they started
0-5 and didn’t win at home until
their 11th contest en route to a
5-13 regular-season record.
“You know in the first game
there are going to be some bumps
in the road, some mishaps,” said
Rowley, the 6-foot, 195-pound former Brown QB who has 12 ArenaBall seasons — six in AF1 — under his belt. “A couple of times on
offense, we were moving backward with penalties.
“But we composed ourselves.
That was my focus. Whatever
happens, whatever learning
curve we have, focus on getting
the ‘W,’ and we can build momentum going into game two.”
If there were a budding star
who emerged, it was Howard, a
6-4, 215-pound Central Missouri
product who caught 44 passes in
11 games for the Thunder last
season. With the team’s top three
receivers of a year ago — Jeff
Solomon, Eric Rogers and Douglas McNeil — departed, Howard
may be the heir apparent.
On Friday night, Howard
hauled in TD receptions of 28, 9
and 23 yards in the second half,
the first one while flipping over
the boards in the end zone in a
SportsCenter “top 10 play” worthy grab.
“It ain’t nothing,” said Howard,
27, who had a cup of coffee with
the Canadian Football League’s
Edmonton Eskimos in 2013,
catching one pass. “The AFL is
not where I really want to be. I’m
going to keep working, keep
grinding until I get to where I
want to go.”
And that is?
“The CFL or NFL,” he said.
“I’m still young. I have a lot of motivation from McNeil and Rogers.
They left me back here. I did my
thing at the end of last season.
“This year, I want to start off
hot. Wherever my next step is going to be, I’m hoping it’s soon. But
coach Hohensee and his staff are
great coaches. They’re teaching
me how to play the game, to be a
complete receiver. If I’m here, I’m
going to love it. If I’m gone, I’ll
love it even more.”
Rowley granted Howard some
early impatience.
“He was a little frustrated in
the first quarter,” Rowley said.
“He expects to get the ball. I told
him, ‘Just stay with me. It’s a
game of waves.’ I knew his wave
was coming.”
Hohensee said Howard has
showed signs of becoming the
team’s No. 1 receiver.
“He has been emerging all
camp,” the veteran coach said.
“He’s a kid who lost 30 pounds
from last year and has re-invented himself.
“He wants to be great. Tonight
was a first step. He made some
mistakes — some that hurt us —
but he did some tremendous
things, too. He’s on his way to being something special.”
Rowley doesn’t have a large
frame or powerful arm, but he
has the savvy of a leader. Is he
still in his prime at 36?
“I think he’s going to get better,” Hohensee said. “He’s a tremendous competitor. With a new
set of receivers and a new offense, he executed extremely well
against a defense (with which) he
had no idea what they were going
to do. He stayed composed and
was great in the huddle with
these guys, especially at the end.”
When the KISS scored to narrow the gap to 42-37 with 51 seconds left, then recovered an onside kick, Rowley began his mental preparation.
“I thought one of two things,”
he said. “I trust my defense, but if
(the KISS) score, as long as we
have 14, 21 seconds left to run two
or three plays, we’re OK. We
were composed on the sidelines,
but the defense came up big, so
we didn’t have to do it.”
Hohensee said the final verdict
didn’t surprise him.
“We said at halftime, after a
few drives, (the KISS) were going
to lose it, that they didn’t have
enough gas left in their tank,” he
said. “Our guys stepped up and
did a super job.”
Rowley, who joined the Thunder at midseason last year, said
the opportunity to start the sea-

son with the club will help him
from a personal standpoint.
“It’s nice when you can come in
before training camp and build
chemistry with your teammates,
so that during camp, you’re working together already,” he said.
“There’s a difference for me, especially.”
Rowley quarterbacked the
Thunder to a near upset of Arizona in the first round last year,
losing 52-48 in a game in which
the eventual AFL champion Rattlers came up with a game-saving
interception in the final seconds.
“Arizona ran through the playoffs last year,” Howard said. The
Rattlers “ran through everybody,
and they barely beat us. We’re
better this year. We’re young,
we’re talented. We’re striving to
be the best, and Coach Hohensee
is pushing us. Our training camp
was probably harder than anybody’s. We worked three-hour
(practices). We’re hungry and
ready to ball.”
The fans got into it. The Thunder rewarded each of them with a
free “Jumbo Jack” burger from
Jack In The Box for scoring 40
points. Afterward, there was a
large procession of fans on the
Moda Center field to get autographs from the players.
It was a nice scene all around.
“And we’re just getting started,” Hohensee said. “We were so
sloppy. We’re going to get much
better.”
I’ll take his word for it. After all,
the man has been around this
game forever.

Hi, my name is Shadow
aka Kiki. I am a 13 year old
altered female kitty who is
looking for a nice family
that will let me be an indoor kitty. I currently live
with a family consisting of
one large dog, who leaves
me alone, and two sister
cats who leave me alone
as well. I am super chill, independent and a bit lazy.
The days of my youth are
over but I still get motivated by playing laser tag.
As far as affection goes I’ll
let you know when I need
love. Although I am older
I’m still really healthy and
haven’t had any cause to
go to the doctor in my life.

Fasting and gorging Firefighters know benefits of exercise
for weight loss
T
he secret to a long and
healthy life may not be
skipping the occasional meal. Rather, it may
be skipping a day of them and
then gorging the next.
Researchers at the University of Florida College of Medicine recently published a paper
that showed that participants
who cut their calorie intake by
75 percent one day and then
ate 175 percent the next scored
better on a variety of biochemical health markers.
The participants alternated
days of undereating and overeating for three weeks. For the
average male, that meant consuming 650 calories on fasting
days and 4,550 calories on
feasting days. Some participants also took antioxidant
supplements, such as vitamins
C and E.
At the end of the three
weeks, the researchers found
that beneficial blood markers
tended to be higher in the
feast/famine folks. Interestingly, those who took the antioxidant supplements showed lesser benefit.
The scientists speculate that
the fasting days kicked up the
body’s immune system, applying a little oxidative stress,
which prompted enhanced regeneration and repair of cells.
Intermittent fasting also decreased insulin levels, indicating it may have an antidiabetic
effect, as well.
More research is required, of
course. The study was small,
with just 24 participants. But
it’s something to chew on — assuming it’s not a fasting day.
Body of knowledge
Gums are renewed every
one to two weeks.

Medical history
This week in 1867, The Lancet published a paper by Joseph Lister, the first of a series
of articles on his discovery of
antiseptic surgery. Lister had
applied Louis Pasteur’s idea
that the microorganisms causing gangrene might be controlled with chemical solutions. Because the use of carbolic acid (phenol) was known
as a means of deodorizing
sewage, Lister tested the results of using a solution of it
for spraying instruments, surgical incisions and dressings.
The result was a dramatic reduction in the gangrene.

tion of Oregon.
Reuler is the founder of The
Wallace Medical Concern, the
nonprofit that provides affordable primary and urgent medical services to thousands in
Portland and Gresham who
have no insurance or face other
barriers to care.
Reuler, a general internist
who had a 36-year career with
the Portland Veterans Affairs
Medical Center and is an emeritus professor at Oregon Health
& Science University, started
Wallace in 1984, working days
at the VA and OHSU and at
night carrying medical supplies in a tackle box while providing volunteer care to homeless patients in Portland. Since
then, Wallace has grown into
an organization with 325 volunteers that serves youth and
families via a primary care
clinic, specialty care services
and a mobile medical clinic,
and provided an avenue for
medical professionals to give
back and helped train a generation of medical students.
Reuler said he’s humbled to
receive the Rob Delf award,
noting that it recognizes not
just medical service but, more
broadly, community service to
underserved and disadvantaged individuals and families.
His work with homeless peo-
Jim Reuler
ple, he added, has been a conduit to his own greater understanding of their myriad challenges — from hunger to barriers to education — and expanded his outreach efforts.
“It’s been an absolutely incredible transformative experience for me, and it’s had a huge
impact on my own family,” Reuler said. “We’ve learned so
much through the people we’ve
met through Wallace about
what low-income and homeless
families face on a daily basis,
and it’s given us a greater understanding of how privileged
we are and how important it is
to give back.”
The medical society and the
Metropolitan Medical Foundation of Oregon created the Rob
Delf award in 2013 to honor its
namesake’s long service. Recipients receive a $1,000 honorarium. Reuler will receive the
award at the medical society’s
Annual Meeting May 5 in Portland.
Reuler, who has long mentored medical students and
those contemplating a health
care career, will donate the
honorarium to the nonprofit
Black United Fund of Oregon,
for which he volunteers. The
funds will create one or more
college scholarships for high
school students eyeing medical
careers.

Local fiction writers vie
for Ken Kesey Award
Literary Arts will
presents the five
nominees April 13
By STEPHEN ALEXANDER
The Tribune
Ken Kesey is a giant in the
world of literature and a god
in the mythology of Oregon.
The late author will long be
remembered for beginning a
cultural revolution by championing the
psychedelic
drug movement in the
1960s.
But there
are plenty of
people who have smoked pot
and dropped acid. What made
Kesey different from the rest
was his genius with the pen.
I have read every published
word of Kesey’s. His most popular work will always be “One
Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
His first novel was brilliant, but
I do not think it compares to
Kesey’s second novel, “Sometimes a Great Notion.” I would
put that book about an Oregon
logging family up as the best
written in the last half of the
20th century.
Literary Arts has honored
Kesey by naming the Oregon
Book Award for best fiction after him. The Oregon Book
Awards will take place April 13
at Portland Center Stage’s
Gerding Theatre (literary-arts.
org). Here is a rundown of the
five books that will compete to
take home the Ken Kesey
Award for Fiction:
■ Portland’s Smith Henderson received the 2011 Pen
Emerging Writers Award in
Fiction. His debut novel,
“Fourth of July Creek” ($15.99,
Ecco, 485 pages), is the story of
Pete Snow, a social worker who
tries to help an 11-year-old boy
named Benjamin Pearl. Snow
comes to meet Jeremiah, the
boy’s disturbed father. As
Book
Report
Snow’s own family begins to spin out of control, the FBI takes interest in Pearl, and Snow
is thrust into a manhunt.
■ Lindsay Hill is a
longtime poet living in
Portland. He spent 20
years writing “Sea of
Hooks” ($25, McPherson
and Co., 349 pages). The
protagonist in “Hooks,”
Christopher Westall,
was an awkward and
misunderstood child
who rarely made
friends. His childhood
was littered by tragedies. Now that he is a
young man, Westall is
traveling to Bhutan to
seek some sort of solace
or new beginning following his mother’s
suicide.
The story is told
through a collection of
thoughts, flashbacks
and current narratives,
many no more than a
paragraph long.
■ Cari Luna graduated from the MFA fiction
program at Brooklyn
College. The Portlander
has seen her writing appear in various literary
journals. “The Revolution of Every Day”
($15.95, Tin House
Books, 395 pages) is her
debut novel.
“Revolution” tells of
how on May 30, 1995,
the NYPD took an armored tank down East
Thirteenth Street with
hundreds of cops in riot gear to
evict a few dozen squatters
from two buildings. The novel
imagines the lives of five of
those squatters in New York’s
Lower East Side.
■ Amy Schutzer of Portland
has worked as a U.S. postal carrier, a cashier, a bookkeeper, a
legal assistant and a Nabisco
factory worker. She also is a
highly acclaimed writer. Her
debut novel, “Undertow,” re-
THE

ceived numerous
awards and praise. She
received the Kesey
Award nomination for
her third book,
“Spheres of Disturbance” ($15.95, Arktoi
Books, 280 pages).
“Spheres” is the story of Helen, a woman
choosing to die. The
novel is told with nine
revolving viewpoints
during one day in 1985,
and those who surround her (Helen’s
daughter, a high-strung
housewife and crochet
artist, a lesbian poet,
and a pregnant Vietnamese pot-bellied pig)
struggle with Helen’s
imminent end.
■ Willy Vlautin of
Scappoose is the singer
and songwriter for the
band Richmond Fontaine. His novel “Lean
on Pete” won both the
Kesey Award and the
Reader’s Choice Award
back in 2011. He is back
at the Oregon Book
Awards this year for
his fourth novel, “The
Free” ($14.99, Harper
Perennial, 320 pages).
“Free” focuses on
the issues that transform ordinary people’s
lives such as the cost
of health care, the lack
of economic opportunity and the scars of war.
The novel follows Leroy Kervin, Freddie
McCall and Pauline
Hawkins. Kervin is a
man severely wounded in the
Iraq war who has lived in a
group home for eight years.
McCall is the night man at
Kervin’s group home. Despite
working two jobs, he already
has lost his wife and children
and is about to lose his house.
Hawkins is a nurse who remains emotionally removed
while she cares for people in
the group home as well as her
mentally ill elderly father.
There’ll be nearly 100 businesses and organizations, a
kid’s village with entertainment
by Circus Cascadia, live music
produced by Abstract Earth
Project, a speakers’ series,
placemaking through The City
Repair Project, bicycle parking,
and an attempt to recycle all
materials from the event by
Master Recycler Program. The
event also offers volunteer opportunities throughout the day.
Earth Day is officially April
22.

He has made quite a career for
himself, but Lichtenstein does
admit that he once tried out for
Cirque du Soleil. “It didn’t go
anywhere,” he says. And, his audition for Season 4 of “America’s
Got Talent” didn’t go well, either.
But, nobody can argue with the
impact he has had, and the career he has built.
“He has parlayed it into a
groovy, comfortable family life
with a wife and kids and a beautiful house,” Mickens says.

Bits&Pieces
By JASON VONDERSMITH
The Tribune
Watch for them!
The popular NBC series
“Grimm” has brought out the
best in Portland in many ways,
and we’re not talking about
the grisly looking creatures —
wesen — walking around
disguised as people.
The production company that
puts on “Grimm,” Hazy Mills,
has tried to incorporate Portland businesses and products.
In the 8 p.m. April 3 episode,
“Heartbreaker,” some Portland
bicycle companies will get air
time, otherwise known as very
beneficial product placement. A
new Portland bicycle manufacturing company, Circa Cycles,
gets some publicity, as does
Breadwinner and Tonic.
Apparently nonlocal builders
with bikes in the show have
their logos blacked out.
The episode is very bike-focused with road-riding, mountain-biking and scenes taking
place in a Portland bike shop.
The folks at Circa Cycles will
put on a viewing party at The
Station, 2703 N.E. Alberta St.
Kid filmmakers
C-SPAN plans to honor local
winners of StudentCam, the annual student video documentary
competition, when its 45-foot
customized bus visits Beverly
Cleary Middle School, 1915 N.E.
33rd Ave., from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 31.
A C-SPAN representative will
give a StudentCam certificate of
merit to 12 students during a
school ceremony. Students were
asked to make a documentary
with the topic “The Three
Branches and You,” telling a story about how the executive, legislative and judicial branches
have affected them.
Visit studentcam.org to watch
the winning videos.
The local winners: Ally Lee,
Haley Leavens, Claire Ben, second place, “Same Sex Marriage”; Ian Hernandez, Connor
Kolze, Noah Anderson, honorable mention, “Genetically Modified Dinner”; Ella Hirata, Toli
Tate, honorable mention, “Immigration in the United States”;
Oliver Kline, honorable men-
tion, “The Patent System”; Braedyn Weaver, Harrison Wells,
Brayden Dunca, honorable mention, “Militarization of Police.”
Earth Day
The big local celebration,
EarthDay PDX, moves back to
Normandale Park at Northeast
57th Avenue and Halsey Street,
April 25.
