30-year abatement
deal keeps chip
giant in the state
By KENDRA HOGUE
The Tribune
One day after a proposed
investment-and-tax-break
deal was announced by Intel
Corp., Washington County
and the city of Hillsboro, the
Washington County Board of
Commissioners had an answer for people who questioned the deal.
“To people who say ‘You’re
just giving it away,’ it’s not
true,” said Commissioner Bob
Terry, referring to tax breaks
for large corporations such as
Intel during Tuesday morning’s
board work session. Though Intel is growing at a rapid pace,
without a tax abatement on expensive new technology and
equipment as proposed, “It
would be a
slow death, like
Detroit,” added
Terry.
On Monday,
Intel and representatives of
local and state
g ov e r n m e n t
announced
ROGERS that they had
reached a proposed agreement for the microchip giant to invest $100 billion
in its Portland-area plants and
facilities during the next 30
years.
“That’s billion with a ‘B,’ ”
said Washington County Commissioner Roy Rogers, who led
a public relations swing around
the region with nearly a dozen
officials and staff members in
tow. “It’s a staggering number.”
The agreement is considered
a job-retention program and
the $100 billion represents new
money that Intel expects to invest in research, development
and manufacturing on its
Washington County campuses.
Rogers said Monday that the
proposed agreement meant
that the county would retain
the state’s largest private employer for decades into the future, something that would affect both his children and
grandchildren. It’s not a legacy
project, he said, but the people
who helped reach the agreement are paving the way for the
state’s economic future.
“There are 17,500 currently
employed at Intel and three
jobs created for every Intel
job,” said Rogers, referring to a
recent study by ECONorthwest,
a private economic consulting
firm.
The agreement was hammered out under Oregon’s Strategic Investment Program, a
public-private partnership that
has spurred billions of dollars in
investment in Oregon in the

next to the Lloyd Center is on its way
to joining the list of Portland destination parks. O’Bryant Square is, well,
the counterpoint, an example of what
happens when a city park is badly
designed and allowed to determine
its own fate.
Design is the primary reason
O’Bryant can’t be made to feel safe,
says Matthew Arnold, associate principal director of urban design and
planning at SERA Architects. More
specifically, Arnold says, the problem
is the altered grade of the park.
From street level looking north,
Southwest Ninth and Park avenues
slope downhill. But inside O’Bryant,
the reverse is true. The park steps up
from south to north to accommodate
an underground parking garage entrance on Stark Street. So for those

they present blank concrete walls.

Parks: Holladay Park could be a model
■ From page A1
The result?
“You can’t see into (O’Bryant) and
people can’t see out of it,” says Arnold.
“That means the whole north portion
of the park, there are no eyes on the
park. Any illicit activity common to
O’Bryant Square can occur back in
those areas out of sight of the public.”
And illicit activity does take place in
that “Keep walking” area, from homeless camping to drug dealing, as Arnold and his colleagues at SERA’s design studio are well aware. More than a
decade ago they proposed changes to
O’Bryant and have authored a series of
online articles about the park, called
“Can a Broken Urban Park Be Fixed?”
There is almost no pedestrian traffic
on three of O’Bryant’s four sides, Arnold points out. The Union Bank of
California to the east and the Pittock
Building to the west turn their backs
on the park — no sidewalk cafes or retail shops with customers coming and
going. The parking garage eliminates
any possibility of street activity on the
north side. The south side has possibilities, but half its sight line from the

sidewalk is blocked by a squat structure that houses the parking garage’s O’Bryant Square’s grade and its inactive water fountain contribute to a sense that the park is unsafe because much of its space is
hidden from the outside.
electrical and ventilation systems.
‘ Declaring defeat’
At popular Director Park, three
blocks south, Programming Manager
Alicia Hammock says she’s aware that
eyes are constantly on her no matter
where she moves in the public space.
She frequently gets calls from people
in the surrounding towers when they
spot something going on in the park
that they don’t like. There are no such
eyes on O’Bryant.
“You feel like you’re unobserved and
you can get away with all sorts of
stuff,” says Arnold. “And (people) do.”
At Holladay Park next to the Lloyd
Center, intensive programming is being implemented to make the park feel
safer and more inviting. Arnold says
programming alone won’t do the job at
O’Bryant, not as long as the park’s
sightlines are so obstructed. Maybe, he
says, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. events, combined
with tables and chairs in the plaza to
attract more lunchtime food cart customers, would help. But outside of
those hours he’s dubious about the
park substantially being changed.
“As long as it has that grade with the
lack of observation from the outside,
it’s going to be hard to get the drug
dealers to leave the top,” he says.
Parks officials say there are no plans
to repair and restart O’Bryant’s water
fountain, which might attract more
women and children. Arnold says that
if the city isn’t willing to invest in revitalizing O’Bryant Square, it should consider closing the park.
But Alex Garvin, Yale University
professor of urban planning and au-
thor of “Public Parks: The Key to Livable Communities,” says a city should
never close a park such as O’Bryant. In
Garvin’s view, every park writes a
chapter in a city’s ongoing story pitting
livability against decay. “That means
you have given up as a society,” Garvin
says. “If you can’t make a park a place
that residents of the city want to go to,
you are declaring defeat. And you cannot ever do that.”
Mike Abbate, Portland Parks & Recreation director, agrees with Arnold
that programming alone won’t substantially change O’Bryant. “It needs a
big capital investment. It needs to be
rebuilt from the ground up,” Abbate
says.
Abbate calls the north-side parking
garage entrance “a death knell to pub-
lic space.” He says forming a public/
private partnership to pay for changes
at O’Bryant won’t be as easy as it was
at Holladay Park, where investors in
the Lloyd Center were a natural source
for funding. There don’t appear to be
any interested private parties willing
to save O’Bryant Square.
Garvin isn’t buying that reasoning.
“Don’t tell me you can’t find a way to
pay for something that is necessary,”
he says. “You always can find a way.
That’s what people like Dan Biederman
do for a living.”

When New York City parks
authority Dan Biederman was
touring Portland recently, he
said he couldn’t help but notice
there weren’t any parks with
regular year-round programming on the city’s east side.
That’s about to change.
Biederman is generally recognized as the nation’s leading expert
in activating public parks through

(plus added security) he gets people using parks to feel safe. He was
in Portland because his Biederman

has been hired to turn Holladay
Park, next to the Lloyd Center, into
a popular public gathering place.
Four-acre Gateway Park & Plaza, at Northeast Halsey Street and
106th Avenue, is slated to open in
spring 2017. Mike Abbate, director
of Portland Parks & Recreation,
says it will be the first east-side
park with regular, year-round paid
programming, much like Director
Park downtown. Abbate envisions
a number of possibilities, from concerts and movies to a farmers market on the park’s plaza. Green
spaces with picnic areas and playgrounds also are in the plan.
“I kind of think it will become
the Pioneer Courthouse Square for
East Portland,” Abbate says.
The park’s final design will begin to take shape this fall. The $4.07
million to build the park will come
from system development charges,
with an additional $1 million for
park improvements coming from
the Portland Development Commission.

systems needed updating, and
the steep drop-offs were considered unsafe. The former is fixable, with a new filtration sys-
tem. The park’s design is not.
If Portland is trying to save
money by avoiding lawsuits as a
result of somebody falling off one
of Keller’s wading pools, the city
is making a mistake, Garvin
says.
Garvin calls the closing of
Keller as a wading park “an outrage.” In his view, the public activity that used to take place
there provided an incalculable
civic value and represents precisely what public parks are supposed to provide.
“They are going to spend more
money on crime prevention
there because they’ve made it
unattractive,” Garvin says.
“They had better turn up the water or they’ll pay more.”
The Oregon Health Authori-
ty’s Public Health Division licenses wading pools around the
state, and officials there say the
steep drop-offs at Keller are so
dangerous they won’t grant the
city a license to allow wading in
the fountain. Signs throughout
the park make it clear that playing in the water is forbidden.
Nevertheless, Keller is not
quite as empty as it is supposed
to be. A few plucky people are
starting to dip their feet back in
the fountain’s many pools. And
park rangers don’t seem intent
on clearing out the waders.
The offical word from Portland
Parks & Recreation? “We wish
everyone would follow the rules,”
says Portland Parks & Recreation spokesman Mark Ross.
— Peter Korn
Despite park bureau warnings, a few Portlanders are taking advantage
of Keller Fountain’s cool water on hot summer days. In years past,
large crowds often fl ocked to the fountain and park experts say those
crowds helped keep the park safer.

began when she joined the state of Gov. Tom McCall. Winters was
named state ombudsman by Gov. Atiyeh in 1979. She became a

the money on other programs. But if the council had
met the target, PBOT would
have received an additional
$23 million this year — almost half the amount Hales
hopes to raise with the fee

Steve Novick are proposing.
The council approved the
resolution 4-0 on Aug. 6. Expect to be reminded about
the failure to dedicate utility
fees to transportation projects between now and November, when Hales wants
the council to vote on the
street fee.
Bridge idea goes nowhere
When Oregon U.S. Rep.
Earl Blumenauer held a
transportation funding forum at Portland State University last week, one pro-
posed project did not draw
any support. It is the new
bridge across the Columbia
River east of Interstate 205
proposed by Clark County,
Wash., Commissioner David
Madore.
Port of Portland Executive
Director Bill Wyatt called it a
“bridge from nowhere to nowhere.” Vancouver City
Councilor Jack Burkman
asked for patience with the
county. Others wondered
how Madore, who opposed
the failed Columbia River
Crossing, could even propose
the project, which has not received any of the engineering
and environmental studies
that went into the development of the CRC.
A nonbinding advisory
vote on the project is scheduled in Clark County at the
general election.

of the Lloyd Center to re-energize Holladay Park. He says there are plenty of
potential funding sources to subsidize
urban park programming other than
wealthy corporate neighbors.
At Bryant Park in New York, Bank of
America pays about $3 million a year
for naming rights on the skating rink.
Southwest Airlines maintains a small
corner kiosk and Bryant Park workers
wear Southwest Airlines polo shirts,
which nets the park over $2 million in
annual revenue. The evening film series and poetry workshops, and even
the park’s Wi-Fi and ping pong table,
have corporate sponsors.
A city has to be committed to building positive momentum at a park to encourage investors, according to Biederman. His company was hired this year
to redo Military Park in Newark, New
Jersey. Most of the initial funding is
coming from wealthy Newark residents, he says, and real estate investors
who have come to believe the park will
flourish and are buying up nearby
property.
“You find people who for whatever
reasons have a strong interest in the
adjacent public areas improving and
then you use them as your leaders,”
Biederman says. “O’Bryant is well
enought situated.”
SERA’s Arnold has another idea. The
parking garage beneath O’Bryant is
owned by the city and Arnold says it is
unlikely the city would give away the
revenue from the garage in order to remove it and bring O’Bryant back to
grade.
Maybe, Arnold says, a funding deal
can be worked out with a downtown
corporation badly in need of its own
parking. They could pay for renovating the parking garage so, like the underground garage at Director Park,
its entrance would be on an adjoining
block — beneath the Fox Tower in Director’s case. In return, the corporation could get dedicated parking spaces. There’s a surface parking lot just
to the north of O’Bryant which could
handle the entrance.
Three blocks away, Director Park’s
Hammock says she’s thought about
O’Bryant Square, and she’s convinced
that a little programming money
could produce a major change there,
even with the park’s structural drawbacks. When the O’Bryant fountain
was flowing two decades ago, she
says, the park was very popular. Install a food cart or two right in
O’Bryant for more eyes on the park,
place tables and chairs in the plaza,
then build with some events. Above
all, she says, hire full-time security
and park rangers — just like at Director and Holladay parks — to start developing positive relationships with
parkgoers.
“It doesn’t always have to take a lot
of money to positively activate an
open space,” Hammock says.

Rally: Bike ride offers young
people, residents ‘positive activity’
■ From page A1
Center at New Columbia in
North Portland, which opened
its Bike Repair Hub in September 2012 and its Bike Skills
Park last July.
Washington talked with coordinators at the Cycling Center and posed the idea of holding an anti-violence rally this
summer.
A positive mission
It’s hardly a new idea. Several similar rallies happen every summer: on July 11, McCoy
Park neighbors came together
for a “Stop the Violence” rally;
July 12 and 13, police enhanced
patrols and resources for “Operation Cool Down”; and July
14, Portland Parks and the Office of Youth Violence Prevention held a community meeting
at Peninsula Park called
“Enough is Enough.”
City and community leaders
spend a lot of time and effort
organizing dozens of National
Night Out events, which are
still happening at many neighborhoods throughout the
month. And the police and
parks bureau put out a guide
called Operation Safe Summer
each year, listing scores of safe,
structured activities for youth.
Ford, who’s coached youth
basketball for 20 years, believes
public officials should do more
Take Back the Streets bike ride and rally
■ 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Aug. 24.
■ The ride starts at the New Columbia Bike Repair Hub, corner of
North Trenton and Woolsey. It’s at 2 p.m. the event starts, with a
short documentary about life after incarceration, guest speakers,
music and barbecue for $5 per plate.
Booths will offer resources on health, gang prevention, afterschool
programming for youth, transition services and more. All proceeds
will benefit Stop the Violence Foundation and P.I.L. Reunions.

to connect families with existing resources and invest more
in programs like the Boys &
Girls Club and SUN Schools.
“I’ve seen it all,” Ford says,
noting that he’s spent holidays
letting student athletes stay at
his house to escape violence in
their families. “The breakdown
of families is the biggest problem in this all.”
Portland has seen 11 gangrelated shootings since June 30,
killing two men and injuring
five, including the 5-year-old
who was hit by gunfire July 9
outside a Southeast Portland
apartment. No arrests have
been made in the cases.
Organizers of the Aug. 24
rally say their outreach efforts
will be worthwhile even if they
reach just one person.
“Obviously we can’t save every kid, but hopefully there’ll
be some there that want to be
saved,” Ford says.
They say this event is different because it comes from the
community, and centers on an
activity — bicycling — that’s
cheap, easy and accessible.
“The Community Cycling
Center believes in the power of
human connection,” says Zoe
Piliafas, the center’s program
director, who worked with the
men to organize the event. “We
are excited to see a group of
people engaging in a healthy
bike ride together with a positive mission. Sustainable solutions lie within the community
and we are here to ask and support facilitation.”
Demarcus Preston, a friend
of Washington and Ford, also
couldn’t stand the recent spate
of violence and thought he’d
take a stand. “I’m stepping up
as a former gang member. I’ve
seen friends and family killed,”
he says. “I’ve been lucky
enough to make it out and I
want to help others do the
same.”

Intel: City and state
must still approve pact
■ From page A1
past 20 years. In March 2014, Intel notified the county and the
city that it wanted to begin formal negotiations to develop a
new SIP agreement.
Intel Corp. announced in January that there would be staff
cutbacks of approximately 5 percent companywide, with some
locations closing and others halting construction.
The state’ SIP program was
born in 1993 as an economic development tool approved by the
Legislature. Intel’s first SIP
agreement was signed with the
county and the city in 1994. If enacted, the 2014 agreement would
be the fifth agreement in 20
years.
Intel began manufacturing in
Oregon in 1974, and it’s now the
largest for-profit employer in the
state. Oregon’s Intel sites are the
largest the company operates.
“We’re very pleased and privileged to be here in Oregon,”
said Jill Eiland, corporate affairs
director for Intel Corp. in Oregon, Washington and Colorado.
Intel has been in Oregon since
1974. We came for reliable water,
electricity and because the local
government really wanted us to
come here.”
Regardless, because of the
ever-changing nature of the
worldwide high-tech business,
Eiland said “Intel would not have
invested to this level in Oregon
without these agreements.”
“The 2014 agreement is the
same template as previous
agreements, primarily for job retention,” said Rob Massar, assistant county administrator. “The
primary difference is this is looking at a 30-year horizon, with
mini-SIPs within that.”
Gov. John Kitzhaber praised
the agreement, saying it is “proof
positive that Oregon is fertile
soil for business to grow and
families to prosper.”
A global leader
The proposed agreement is
focused on investments in the
company’s equipment replace-
ment and on retaining employ- well. “There are three specific

Intel invests in state’s economic future
I
ntel Corp.’s plan to invest $100
billion in Washington County
during the next 30 years resounded like an economic thunderclap. And, like a bolt of economic
lightning, the pact offered a jolt to a
state economy stirring from
doldrums.
Monday’s announcement by officials from Washington County and
the city of Hillsboro was just the stuff
that Oregon’s economy needed. The
investment is in billions — with a
“B,” as Washington County Commissioner Roy Rogers so eloquently
put it.
Gov. John Kitzhaber offered his
praise of the pact: “This historic investment makes our state a global
leader in high-tech manufacturing
and is proof positive that Oregon is
fertile soil for business to grow and
families to prosper.”
But this investment represents far
more to Hillsboro, Washington County and Oregon as a whole.

Oregon’s economy was dependent

state’s economy and supported generations of families.
Today, we find that in Oregon’s
economy is more rooted in forests of
silicon rather than Douglas fir and
Ponderosa pine.
In contrast to Intel’s $100 billion announcement, the Oregon Forest Resources Institute reported that in
2013, the forest sector employed
76,000 people, generated $5.2 billion
in total income, and $12.7 billion in
direct economic output.
A sizable contribution to the Beaver State’s economy to be sure, but it
clearly represents the past and not
the future of Oregon’s economy.
Critics point out that the proposed
agreement could mean that Intel
would never have to face a change in
property taxes for the duration of the
proposed 30-year agreement.
What’s more, Intel freely admits
that this investment isn’t about job
creation, but rather keeping jobs
here.
All true, but as Jill Eiland, Intel’s
Northwest Region corporate affairs
manager said, “Without the SIP
agreements Intel would not have invested to this level in Oregon.”
That level of investment has not
only resulted in thousands of highpaying jobs (the average wage of Intel’s 17,500 employees is $168,000 per
year), but even with the SIP agreement, Intel still pays the most property taxes in Washington County —
four times the amount paid by anyone else.
However, there is more to this deal
than just dollars and cents. With
strong ties and financial support for
Oregon’s seven public universities,
Intel provides the means for local
college grads to get excellent jobs in

high-tech industry — something that
is proving to be the exception and
not the rule for most college grads.
In a recent survey by CFM Strategic Communications, only 13 percent
of respondents said that the outlook
for college graduates entering the
job market was good.
A whopping 85 percent said they
were neutral or pessimistic about
getting post-secondary work. Fifty
percent of the respondents said that
working as an intern was the most
important factor in finding work after college.
Intel’s growth provides both internship and post-secondary job
opportunities.
Let’s debate whether it’s in everyone’s best interest to allow Intel this
level of property tax exemption. The
fact is that Oregon wasn’t about to
let Intel slip away, or even send potential research and development
jobs elsewhere.
Intel represents a big part of the
future of industry, and local, county
and state officials are making sure
the state remains a major player in
the future with this investment.
READERS’LETTERS
Reed fossil fuel divestment isn’t answer
F
irst, do you really think
that Reed College — a
small, somewhat unknown liberal arts
school — divesting from fossil
fuels would have any effect at
all on solving “the biggest challenge in human history”? (Reed
trustees must divest from fossil
fuels, guest column, Aug. 7).
If Reed’s decision had any
consequential effect, I would
agree that the moral imperative
of Reed divesting would probably outweigh the financial considerations. Unfortunately,
Reed divesting will change absolutely nothing about the fossil fuel industry’s operations, so
this argument seems null.
Second, I think that it is blatantly incorrect to try to frame
this issue as apolitical. Any issue that involves power, money
and an unclear bundle of facts
and assertions is political.
As illustrated above, the effects of divestment are actually
pretty unclear or at least up for
dispute. I don’t believe that divestment would change anything, but Fossil Free Reed
does.
I believe that it is financially
sound to remain invested in
fossil fuels, but FFR does not.
These differences create a political conflict.
Let’s not sidestep around
that fact for rhetoric’s sake. It
minimizes other political issues
and considerations, such as divestment from anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) corporations and is clearly
untrue.

Lloyd ice rink is too
small as it is now
As a figure skater some 35
years now, I am very concerned
about plans to downsize the
Lloyd Center ice surface, which
already is almost a quarter
smaller than the standard rink
(Lloyd Center to get $50 million
redo, July 29).
Having competed on a variety of different-size ice surfaces, downsizing the current rink
any further would make it impossible for future competitions
to take place there. Competitions draw skaters, families and
supporters, all who bring their
dollars with them to spend at
Lloyd Center. As is, the surface
size cannot accommodate the
current need.
Further downsizing would
force the skating school to close
as skaters (both current and future) would have to go elsewhere. I advocate for an increase in rink size. I haven’t
taken a poll of how many regulars shop at the mall, but I am
definitely one of the “5 out of
100” mentioned.

over and over, it is difficult now
to come to Lloyd Center and
skate on ice that is three-quarters of what they are used to,
let alone something even smaller! I am afraid if they reduce it
further, it will be the end of the
skate school as we know it. The
faithful regulars who spend
hundreds of dollars each year
at the rink alone, not to mention food and other shopping,
will be forced to find other options.
I totally disagree with the assertion that “for every 100 who
skated, only five shopped.” I
have no idea where that came
from, but they should do a poll
among the regulars rather than
just talk to bargain hunters

Time to end discrimination of war vets
MYVIEW
D oug W ilkinson
I
am writing to bring attention to the Warfighter
Rights Movement. This is a
movement that I am proud
to be a part of, not only as an advocate for veterans’ rights, but
as executive officer and member
of the organization’s leadership
team for operations in the state
of Oregon.
We stand here today united to
end warfighter discrimination
and stop the phobia of post-traumatic stress disorder.
As you are aware, the issue is
that the Veterans Administra-
tion’s means of assisting veterans has been substandard and
unacceptable for decades. However, this is not the only issue
we as warfighters are facing in
America today.
Routinely, our warfighter
community is discriminated
against in the areas of employment, housing and even, in some
cases, how we interact with law
enforcement and courts. Discrimination, harassment and denial of rights and benefits like
this might seem like something
out of the past in our great nation, but it is ever apparent now
in our warfighter community. In
the worst of these cases, this has
contributed to the death of
struggling warfighters — the
very individuals who so coura-
geously volunteered their lives
to defend our flag, our Constitution, our freedom from oppression, our equal rights.
As a veteran and member of
your community, I am respectfully bringing this to your attention so you may appropriately
support this movement. As part
of the plan, we will seek to take
action in the courts through
class-action lawsuits and to propose legislation to end the discrimination of warfighters in
America.
American warfighters are
comprised of 23 million strong
veterans, plus those who are
currently serving in active-duty
military and their friends, families and supporters.
In the 1960s, Americans ral-
lied to end discrimination with
the civil rights movement. During that same timeframe, the returning warfighters were chastised and shamed by the very
people they fought for.
We continue to see this kind
of treatment today, as another
generation returns from answering the call to arms of this
nation. The method of discrimination is different and, in some
ways, more covert and underhanded.
We will not stand idly and allow this to continue to happen
to any warfighter, past or present. This is the era of the Warfighter Rights Movement.
Rather than complain with
excessive rhetoric, we seek your
assistance to support our effec-
tiveness. We want all legislators, media outlets and individuals to show where they stand on
warfighters rights by having
our backs, just as we volunteered to have yours, at any
price.
We don’t care about politics.
Politicians who support us must
agree to “give no quarter to the
corrupt.” Expect to see us protest and rally in large numbers
across the country.
If you have questions or wish
to support our mission, email
rally@warriorpointe.org, rally@
asmdss.org or rally@boone
cutler.com.

I
’m Nana to Jesse Martin,
who attends Reynolds High
School in Troutdale. Nothing prepares you as a nana
to get the call I received on the
morning of June 10.
The call went like this:
“Mom, have you heard the
news?”
“What news?” I replied. The
caller was silent.
“What news?” I repeated to
my daughter.
“There is an active shooter
in Jesse’s school ... pray Mom,
pray!”
My daughter hung up the
phone. I fell on my knees in the
middle of the living room, in
front of my 90-year-old
mother, who asked, “What’s
happening?”
I told her, and we both
prayed.
After a time, we turned on
the TV and saw a scenario that
we’ve seen before. Police everywhere; kids running and crying, but there was one very big
difference. This time the images were of my neighbors, my
community and our kids. Time
passed and we waited to hear
the news. It came — two sons
were lost; Jesse was OK.
I couldn’t go to the parking
lot where students were being
taken to reunite with parents.
Jesse’s mom and dad were doing that. Finally, his mom and
dad brought him home, and
Jesse, a junior, who doesn’t
usually like hugs from Nana or
great grandma, allowed us to
hug him and love him. This
time it was OK.
Three days later, Jesse’s parents took him back to the
school to pick up his things.
Again, I didn’t go; the staff and
volunteer counselors were
helping. Days went by and
those feelings of loss lingered,
but there was something even
worse than the feeling of loss
that just wouldn’t go away — it
was the feeling of helplessness.
I felt helpless because I couldn’t
do anything to help my grandson or my community that I
love so very much.

family. Yet it wasn’t enough.
The nagging feeling of helplessness was still there, and I
couldn’t shake it. It was devastating to be a nana who
couldn’t “do something.”
Then, while driving to the
grocery store, I passed
Reynolds High School and a
memory came rushing back to
me.
For 10 years I worked at a
skilled nursing facility. During
this time, my husband would
quote a line from the movie
“Hook.” He would say to me as
he left for work, “Don’t forget,
happy thoughts make you fly!”
He would say that to me because there were days I would
experience great loss and
mourning. Some days it was the
loss of a dear resident or a resident’s loss of lifestyle due to
health issues.
One day, as I was trying to
come up with a new idea for an
activity for the residents, I remembered my husband’s
words, “Happy thoughts make
you fly!” I sat down at my computer and pulled out a stack of
brightly colored paper and
started printing out happy
thoughts. Fishing, swimming,
tennis, bowling, walking, singing, dancing, and the list went
on. I took my happy thoughts
down to the small dining room
and started hanging them on
the walls.
Soon, the staff started asking,
“What this?”
I answered, “They’re my happy thoughts!”
Instantly, my colleagues began to tell me that I forgot water skiing, jogging, motorcycling, and their list of additions
continued. I went back to my office and printed their ideas.
I hung up the new happy
I came back to the dining
room and saw wheelchairs and
staff lined up all the way down
the hall waiting to get into the
Happy Thoughts Café.
There was no sense of loss
this day.
Often I say to myself, “Who
am I, Lord? Who am I, and what
do I have to share?”
Recently it has become crystal clear — I am Jesse Martin’s
Nana. That’s my first happy
thought. I am a nana who loves
with a passion and has hope for
our school and community.
So, with that thought, I will no
longer feel helpless because I
can and will do something for
my grandson and all the students and staff at Reynolds High
School. I will send a postcard
with a happy thought on it and I
will ask others to do the same.

every day –
thoughts. Then the residents
started coming by in their walkers and wheelchairs. I told them
about our happy thoughts. Then
they added grandbabies, children, square dancing, old cars,
bicycles, friends, family, laughter, stars, camping, and the list
went on.
Suddenly, I had happy
thoughts on all four walls from
top to bottom and all over the
ceiling — there wasn’t an empty
spot left. I put a sign over the
door — THE HAPPY
THOUGHTS CAFÉ.
On the side of the door I put
another “Welcome to the Happy
Thoughts Café. If you do not
have a happy thought, please
take one!”
I went to the front desk to get
the mail. I was gone only for a
few minutes when someone
came up shouting, “Susan,
come look and see what has
happened!”
■ To ask as many people as I can to send a “Happy Thought Postcard” to
the students and staff at
Reynolds High School for
their first day back at
school. Just a simple sincere word or two that will
encourage those who read
it.
By purchasing a postcard, a stamp, putting a
happy thought on it and
putting it in the mail we all
will have done something
for our kids, grandkids,
school staff and community. I think they should start
the new school year with
hope and uplifting
thoughts from people who
care about them.
Send your cards to:
HOPE
P.O. Box 9,
Troutdale, OR, 97060.
■ Sept. 4, at 7:30 a.m.,
will be the first day for the
freshmen, and I’ll be standing in front of the school to
wave the staff and students in. It’s my hope that
the grandmas, grandpas,
aunts, uncles, moms, dads
and our community will
stand by my side. Sept. 5,
7:30 a.m., will be the first
day of school for the rest of
the students and staff. I
will be out front again to
wave them in. Please join
me. If you come to the
school, please park and
walk. Don’t park in the
school lot or in the Imagination Station lot. Please
be considerate of the
neighborhood as well.
■ If you have a business
where the school buses
come by in the mornings,
stand outside or have
some of your staff stand
outside on Sept. 4 and 5 so
the students can see you.
Please have a sign that
says something like: Reynolds Strong; Have a Great
Day, Raiders; We Are With
You; We Send You Joy; We
Send You Laughter and

C. Dan Walton
August 19, 1930 to August 6, 2014
Longtime West Linn resident
Dan Walton, 83, passed away
peacefully Wednesday, Aug. 6,
2014 at his home with his loving
family at his side.
Dan was born in Texarkana,
Texas to Clarence Dan and
Ina Wright. He spent his
childhood in Texas, then joined
the Air Force and met Naomi
“Mickey” Walton, the love of
his life, while he was stationed
at Fairchild AFB. Married for 63 years, he and Mickey
were inseparable.
After the Air Force, Dan and Mickey moved to
Texas for a brief period and welcomed their first son,
Bobby Dan, into the world. They soon returned to
Spokane, where Steven Wayne and later, Jon Clifton,
completed their family.
The family moved to West Linn in1966, where Dan
spent the next 27 years as the West Linn and Oregon
City newspaper distributor for The Oregonian.
Dan and Mickey had a wide circle of friends. One
group in particular, nicknamed the Ground Hogs,
enjoyed many good times together over the years.
Dan was a member of the Oregon City Elks and local
bowling leagues. He also loved to challenge people to
a game of pool. Dan usually won.
Dan and Mickey loved to travel and were frequently
accompanied by Dan’s brother and sister-in-law, Cliff
and Barb. Dan loved country and western music, and
regularly entertained family and friends by playing his
guitar or the piano and singing classic country songs.
One of the highlights of his life was playing on stage at
the Grand Ole Opry.
Dan loved his family dearly. He was extremely
proud of his sons and grandsons, telling them how
handsome they were and how they looked just like
him! Upon seeing his daughters-in-law he would
comment that he was surrounded by such beauty and
always noted that the most beautiful girl of all was his
wife – then he would jokingly ask her if she wanted to
“try for a girl.”
Dan is survived by his three adoring sons, Bob
(Jennifer), Walton of Mount Vernon, Wash.; Steve
(Diana) Walton of Hillsboro, Ore.; and Jon (Sherry)
Walton of Portland, Ore.; his beloved siblings, brother
Cliff (Barb) Walton of Texarkana, Texas and sister
Eva Nelson of Jefferson, Texas; brother-in-law Bob
Wright of Las Vegas, Nev. Dan is also survived by
seven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, his
former daughter-in-law, Jacqueline (Pierre) Brasseur
and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in
death by his parents, Clarence and Ina Walton.
Services have been held. Interment was at Lincoln
Memorial Park.

Margaret Hart Hasenzahl,
beloved mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother and aunt,
passed peacefully on Aug. 7,
2014. She was just shy of her 92nd
birthday. In her long and happy
life, Margaret was an author, a
teacher and a nature lover, driven
by a strong intellectual curiosity,
a sense of adventure, a rare wit,
and a principled sense of good.
She was born in Dayton, Ohio on Sept. 6, 1922, the
oldest of three children. She graduated from Stivers
High School in 1940, and in 1943 she married Walter
Hasenzahl, with whom she had four children. Margaret
received her undergraduate degree from the University
of Michigan and her MEd from the University of
Florida. After Walter’s passing in 1984, Margaret
moved to Lake Oswego, where she lived for 27 years,
many of which she served as a valued volunteer at the
Oregon Zoo.
Margaret’s
proudest
and
most
admired
accomplishment was her authorship of a collection
of short stories chronicling her recollections of her
childhood called “A Pocket Full of Buckeyes.” Her
tender and nostalgic anecdotes vividly recall an America
of the past as seen through the eyes of a precocious and
imaginative child.
Margaret is preceded in death by her husband Walter;
an infant son, Walter; her brothers, Jim Hart and David
Hart; and her parents, Frances and Erskine Hart.
She is survived by her loving children and their
spouses, Jim (Lee) Hasenzahl, Fred (Cathy) Hasenzahl
and Peggy (Jack) Edwards; eight grandchildren; three
great-grandchildren; six nieces and nephews; two
sisters-in-law and many close friends around the
country. She is dearly missed.
Remembrances may be made in Margaret’s honor
to Oregon Humane Society, 503-285-7722 or online at

She
grew

Bettie met Richard O. Mills at California State
University in Santa Barbara.
They were married in August of 1952 and resided in

degrees – a testament to the value she placed on
education. Above all, Gwen had an unwavering
faith in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, and
loved to share the Good News of the gospel

GM’s full-size SUVs
boast improvements
By JOHN M. VINCENT
For Pamplin Media Group
In 1935, Chevrolet introduced its first Suburban.
For 2015, the longest continuously-serving model in the
industry is all-new. It shares its platform with redesigned
versions of Chevy’s Tahoe, and GMC’s Yukon, Yukon XL,
Yukon Denali and Yukon Denali XL.
While many SUVs have moved to more car-like platforms, GM’s big utes have remained on truck chassis,
sharing many components with light-duty Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. Short wheelbase models include the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali. Longer wheelbase models — about 20 inches longer
— include the Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon XL and Yukon XL Denali.
Coming shortly will the most luxurious GM sport utility,

I-84 to connect to the Old Columbia Gorge
Highway at the top of the hill. Take a left and
head east to pass Crown Point and a series
of spectacular waterfalls including Multnomah Falls. With its proximity to Portland,
this route can get busy on weekends.
For a less traveled segment of the Old
Gorge Highway, head out past Hood River
to the town of Mosier. From there, the old
route covers some of its most spectacular
miles, including the sweeping Rowena
Curves, before rejoining the interstate just
west of The Dalles.
Cross over the bridge at The Dalles and
head back to Portland on Washington
Highway 14 for a different view of the
Gorge on a much more interesting road
than I-84.
A great drive for the whole family is
Washington Highway 504. The route travels into the Mount Saint Helens National
Volcanic Monument, ending at the Johnston Ridge Observatory. This route can be
busy on weekends, but weekdays are generally less traveled.
Most of the routes to the Oregon Coast are
heavily traveled and not terribly exciting.

Dick Hannah helps high school sophmore

Continued from previous page
for improvement: efficiency, refinement, and safety. A recent test of
the vehicles demonstrated that
they’ve made huge gains in all three
areas, while greatly increasing the
level of luxury equipment available
on the trucks.
The trucks use a balance of more
efficient powertrains and lighter
weight materials to improve the mileage to as much as 16 miles per gallon
in the city and 23 on the highway for
two-wheel-drive models. Engines
come from GM’s stable of EcoTec3
engines first introduced in their lightduty pickups last year. Suburbans,
Tahoes, and Yukons receive the
5.3-liter V-8, while the Yukon Denalis
employ the 6.2-liter model.
GM engineers have tuned the engines along with their six-speed au-
tomatic transmissions to operate in
the extra-efficient V-4 mode more
often than other variable displacement powertrains. Even in high-altitude mountain driving, both the 5.3
and 6.2-liters performed smoothly
with more than sufficient power on
demand, and efficiency while cruising.
Each brand has its own exterior
personality, but all of the vehicles
are sleeker and more aerodynamic.
All feature projector beam headlamps, with GMC Yukon models displaying C-shaped LED accent lights in
their complex headlight modules.
Uplevel Suburban and Tahoe LTZ
and Yukon Denali models feature
HID headlights.
The interiors have taken a huge
leap forward in material quality, design, and comfort. They have to be,

The Chevys and Yukons are now

Yukon Denali a bit better than the
rest.
Beyond the perceived safety that a

Fast charger comes to Electric Avenue
There’s a new charging option at Portland
State University’s Electric Avenue. PGE and
Chevrolet recently installed a state of the art SAE
Combo electric vehicle fast charger that can
recharge a Chevrolet Spark EV to an 80 percent
charge in just 20 minutes.
The charger supports two of the three
competing fast charging standards, including the
newly introduced SAE Combo standard that is
being adopted by 8 U.S. and European
automakers. It also supports the CHAdeMO
standard used in models including the Nissan
Leaf and Mitsubishi iMiev.
Chevrolet has funded a network of the new
chargers, while PGE coordinated the project and
installed the unit on Electric Avenue, PSU’s
experimental charging infrastructure cluster.
The block-long Electric Avenue includes 7
electric vehicle chargers from different
manufacturers.

Continued from previous page
An exception is Oregon Highway
53, which connects Highway 26 to
the town of Wheeler on the coast.
It’s not the route to follow if your
spouse succumbs to car sickness,
but it’s a technical, twisty, and less
trafficked way to the coast.
Looking for a different way across
the Cascades? Follow Highway 224
past Estacada. Pass the Ripplebbrook Ranger Station and the road
turns into Forest Service Road 46
and continues to the town of Detroit
on the Santiam Pass (Highway 22).
The Old McKenzie Pass High-
way (Highway 242) crosses the Cascade on a windy route through
beautiful forests before crossing lava fields on its way to Sisters. It’s
open seasonally, so check with
ODOT’s TripCheck.com before you
go.
A favorite route in central Oregon
takes you up a windy valley road
from Antelope to Shaniko on Highway 218. Grab an ice cream from
one of the ghost town shops, then
head west for a short distance, before turning right onto Bakeoven
Road and traveling across to Maup-
in. A twisty descent takes you down
to the Deschutes River. Leaving
Maupin, head north on the BLM access road that parallels the river,
then turning left on the Sheras
Bridge Highway (216) that will lead
you back to Highway 197.

Glass half full
Local author publishes e-memoir about life,
death and love
By DREW DAKESSIAN
The Connection
Chastity Glass is beautiful.
Her blonde hair falls in waves, just barely grazing her
tanned shoulders. She wears glasses, sometimes, and her unlined face is rarely without a small, comforting smile. She
looks like she could be a surfer, or possibly a librarian.
What sets her apart from the scores of other blonde, tan
and happy 30-somethings from California is a poem tattooed on her right forearm:
“i am scared
of being scared…
and so,
I am not
even if i am.”
She was 27 years old, living in Hollywood and recently
dumped when she met Anthony Glass, a handsome video
editor who worked at her office. They were instantly attracted to each other, exchanging poetic and increasingly flirtatious emails and quickly falling in love. Just a few months
after they started dating, their love story, a story of what she
calls “that young 20s love when you start making plans,” was
unexpectedly and indelibly altered.
He was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer.
When he told her, she didn’t think twice about whether to
stay with him: they were in this together

Back in 1971, law enforcement technology
did not include much, if anything, that could
remotely be considered digital.
That’s the world of policing inhabited by Bill
Bell, who served as sheriff of Wasco County from
1968 to 1971. Today, Bell is retired and lives in Wilsonville. And the tools used by current police officers are replete with technology only hinted at in
1960s cinema.
“Everything from the concept of a computer in
the car that automatically reads license plates and
talks to you, that’s ‘Star Trek’ stuff,” said Sgt.

Crash critically
injures chief of
J.C. ambulance
By Holly M. Gill
News Editor
Susan Matheny/The Pioneer
Debris is strewn across U.S. Highway 97 on Aug. 8, at the scene of a crash that critically injured
Madras resident Don Heckathorn, chief of Jefferson County Emergency Medical Services.
The chief of the Jefferson County Emergency Medical
Services, Don Heckathorn, 64, was critically injured Aug.
8, when his motorcycle was struck by a car on U.S. Highway 97, at Dover Lane.
Heckathorn, who has managed JCEMS since March
2007, was northbound on the highway around 3 p.m.,
when an eastbound 1996 Cadillac, driven by Gerald Scott
Green, 36, of Prineville, failed to stop at the stop sign on
Dover Lane, and collided with Heckathorn's motorcycle.
According to Oregon State Police, which is investigating the crash, Heckathorn, who was riding a 2012 Harley
Davidson motorcycle and wearing a helmet, sustained
life-threatening injuries, and was transported by Lifeflight
to St. Charles Bend. Green was not injured.
No citations had been issued as of Monday.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, JCEMS, Jefferson County Fire Department, and Oregon Department of
Transportation assisted at the scene. The highway was
closed for nearly an hour, and investigators remained at

Members of the Canby business
community met July 23 as the
Downtown Parking Task Force to
address parking issues in the city’s
core.
“We invited downtown business
owners and managers to come together
to discuss some potential parking
changes,” said Jamie Stickel, manager
of the city’s Main Street program.
Stickel led the session attended by

Crook County may have one of
the highest unemployment rates
in Oregon, but those who earn an
TRAINING
income make more on average
than most the state’s other counties.
A recent report compiled by the
U.S. Department of Labor’s
Bureau of Labor and Statistics
revealed that Crook County ranks
fourth in weekly wage among all
36 counties for Fourth Quarter
2012, and second out of the 31
counties with fewer than 75,000
residents.
Washington County tops the
state at an average of $1,101 per
week, while Multnomah County
averages $988, Benton County
$918, and Crook County $908. All
four counties exceed the state
average wage of $871 per week,
but three of them fall short of the
$1,000-per-week national average.

Breastfeeding mom takes case public
Mall restaurant
caught in clash as
diners protest nursing
Adam Klein
stands with wife
Erin and their
son, Isaac (6
months), in their
Beaverton home.
On Sunday, Aug.
3, an employee
at the Ram
restaurant in
the Clackamas
Town Center
asked Erin Klein
to cover herself
while
breastfeeding.
Oregon law
allows public
breastfeeding.
By SHASTA KEARNS MOORE
The Tribune
It was a 90-degree sunny
Sunday evening in August,
National Breastfeeding
Month, and the Klein family
wanted to eat.
After wandering around
Clackamas Town Center Aug. 3,
the Beaverton residents picked
Ram Restaurant and Brewery
and were seated at a table near
the entrance around 7 p.m., during the height of the dinner rush.
During drinks and appetizers,
Kleins’ 5-month-old, Isaac, started to fuss. Erin Klein unhooked
her nursing top and latched him
on. And that led to a conflict between the restaurant and state
law.
“He was hungry, too, so I was
feeding him,” said Erin Klein, a
stay-at-home mom with a professional child care background.
“She’s not very shy,” said her
husband, Adam Klein, who
works in information technology.
“She doesn’t have to be, and she
doesn’t need to be.”
After a few pleasant interactions with the waiter, a manager
came to their table and said he
had been getting several complaints and asked the mother to
cover herself with a blanket.
The Kleins refused, citing a
1999 Oregon law. The Oregon Revised Statute 109.001 states simply and in its entirety: “A woman
may breast-feed her child in a
public place.”
The manager left, but returned a few minutes later asking Erin Klein again to cover up,
citing restaurant policy.
“Any time you begin a sentence with: ‘That may be the law,
but ...,’ you’re probably making a
mistake,” Erin Klein said.
TRIBUNE PHOTO:
LACEY JACOBY
Adam Klein said he began to
get angry and frustrated. “I told
him: ‘You’ve got all these 72-inch
TV screens, tell the customers to
look at those instead of my wife’s
breast, which really doesn’t take
up that much room,’ “ he recalled. “If you really don’t like it,
look away.”
The Kleins left upset and submitted a complaint through
Ram’s website. They said a district manager called and told
them apologetically that the
manager should have offered
them a restaurant T-shirt to
cover her torso.
“I said: ‘You’re totally missing
the point,’” Adam Klein said.
After five months of breastfeeding in public, this was the
first negative reaction the Kleins
said they had ever experienced.
“I understand that Clackamas
is a little more conservative, but
still,” he said.
“We (adults) don’t eat with
blankets over our head,” Erin
Klein said. “Ever.”
Community Relations Leader
Mark Schermerhorn is a spokesperson for Ram restaurants,
which has 27 outlets across the
United States, including three in
Oregon.
“Daily, I am sure we have dozens of breastfeeding women in
our restaurants,” Schermerhorn
said, adding that since the restaurant company started 43
years ago, the total number of
babies being breastfed while at a
Ram could reach into the thousands. “To my knowledge, I don’t
think we’ve ever had anything
quite like this.”
Schermerhorn said the family-owned restaurant prides itself
on being family-friendly. That
day, management was caught
between two opposing viewpoints from its customers, and
“it kind of blew up from there, I
guess.”
“We were fielding more than
one complaint from tables that
were parents and adults who
had kids in the nearby vicinity
that were dining with us,”
Schermerhorn said. “I think all
we were asking for was some
discretion.”
“I’m pretty good at minimizing the time that my nipple is
exposed,” Erin Klein said, but
added that Isaac popped off and
needed to relatch a few times,
distracted in part by incoming
customers. “It’s not necessarily
unreasonable for a baby to eat,
take a break.”
Marion Rice, executive director of the Breastfeeding Coalition of Oregon, said often in
cases like this, the complaining
party thinks the mother is trying to draw attention to herself;
meanwhile the mother is concentrated on the needs of her
infant.
“This is not about mothers.
This is not about breasts. It’s
about babies,” Rice said.
The coalition often aids mothers as part of its mission to educate the public about the need
for cultural acceptance of
breastfeeding, universally accepted in the medical community as the healthiest option for
almost all babies.
“These types of interactions
with families are what perpetuate women feeling like breastfeeding is hard and that it’s
shameful,” Rice said.
Erin Klein said she feels confident about breastfeeding in
public, but worries that attitudes like those she experienced
at Ram might discourage and
isolate other mothers.

Expect some beer, blood
to be spilled at annual
Soap Box Derby
By JASON VONDERSMITH
The Tribune
Fast and fashionable or slow
and stylish, people will be rolling downhill in notable events in
August.
The same weekend as the Dew
Tour will be the PDX Adult Soap
Box Derby, a tradition on the paved,
but daunting slopes of Mount Tabor
since 1997. Scores of individuals
and their crafts — many of them
Portlandcentric, of course — go for
speed and corners starting at 10
a.m. Saturday, Aug. 16.
The event was started by Paul
Zenk and Eric Foren, with six hardy
souls rolling down Mount Tabor the
first year. Today, there are more
than 40 entries for the event,
launching downhill every four minutes — and it’s free to watch, with
COURTESY OF PDX ADULT SOAP BOX DERBY
Creativity, piloting and speed — relatively speaking — are part of the fun in
the PDX Adult Soap Box Derby, which will be held at Mount Tabor, Aug. 16 .
up to 5,000 fans cheering on the
daredevil racers.
It’s too late to be a competitor for
2014, but it’s not too early to plan
for 2015.
For all info: soapboxracer.com.
The next weekend, Sunday, Aug.
24, 41 of the most creative soap box
derby racing teams gather up north
for the Red Bull Soapbox Race
Seattle in downtown Seattle. Racers
will speed down Yesler Way, with a
berm and a hard left on Second Avenue before the crossing line.
There’ll be some entries from the
Portland area: Los Vatos Locos del
Toro Rojo, a low-riding, tricked-out
craft steered by veteran driver
Morris “The Magic Man” Torseth;
MJ and the Blackfish, from Ridgefield, Wash., with Jared Armstrong
driving an orca-inspired craft;
Wildfang, with Emma Mcilroy piloting a craft for the “babelicious tomboys” team.

For kids, another season of AllAmerican Soap Box Derby has begun — for info, go to aasbd.org.
Of the Oregon clubs, the Salem
Soap Box Derby (salemsbd.org) is
the oldest dedicated derby organization west of the Mississippi River.
Soap box derbies once were all the
rage, with more than 50,000 spectators taking in the national championships in Ohio. But, attendance
has fallen since the 1980s.
Waterfront to host one wild weekend
MusicfestNW
features eclectic
lineup Aug. 15-17
By ROB CULLIVAN
Pamplin Media Group
Spoon, Girl Talk, Phantogram,
Haim, Run the Jewels, tUnEyArDs, Future Islands, F*cked
Up, Man Man, The Antlers, Gardens & Villa, and The Districts
are among the acts that will take
the stage at MusicFestNW,
which commences this weekend
with a new format.
The festival’s redesign makes it
both more attractive to fans and
sponsors, says Trevor Solomon, the
fest’s executive director. For the
first time since it began in 2000, the
festival will take place primarily at
Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park
in downtown Portland rather than
at multiple nightclubs. You can still
go to Dr. Martens parking lot, the
Doug Fir Lounge, the Star Theater
and Bunk Bar for nighttime shows,
which kick off Friday, Aug. 15 (and
are ticketed separately). However,
most of the acts will play at the waterfront from 12:45 to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 16-17.
“We wanted to change the
model so that everyone could
see all the bands. For a
sponsor, now we could say
every eyeball is on you,
whereas before it was a little
more challenging.”
— Trevor Solomon, MusicFestNW
executive director
Although some fans of the old
format initially grumbled about the
change when it was announced in
MISC.

and 17.
February, ticket sales seem to be
going well, and Solomon thinks the
festival’s attendance could rival the
Waterfront Blues Festival, which
draws thousands each year.
“We wanted to change the model
so that everyone could see all the
bands,” he says, noting some
MFNW attendees in the past had
complained about missing bands
they liked when one was playing at
the same time as the other in different venues.

The Bare facts
Bobby Bare Jr.’s latest single, “The Big Time,” lyrically
draws on such similarly
themed songs as Iggy Pop’s
“Success” while giving a nod to
Ray Davies and Cake in terms
of arrangements. In other
words, like the pop-rock-country-folkie singer Bare himself,
the song is both familiar sounding yet hard to pinpoint.
In addition to the new album, William Miller and Reelhouse have created a documentary about Bare titled “Don’t

up for the festival now that it’s
mainly in one site, Solomon
adds.
“For a sponsor, now we could
say every eyeball is on you,
whereas before it was a little
more challenging,” he says.
As for the music itself, Solomon says he’s a big fan of
Spoon’s indie rock whereas
synth-popsters Future Islands
“is probably the hottest band
around now.”
Prior to the festival, the Tribune talked to two Portland
acts, Shy Girls and Modern
Kin, about the festival:
Shy Girls
The brainchild of neo-soul
singer Dan Vidmar, Shy Girls is
among a number of acts resurrecting the R&B sounds of the
1990s. Like many contemporary
artists, Vidmar uses modern
technology as well as instruments to create his sound,
which you can hear on his latest
EP “Timeshare.”
“I produce everything on my
laptop in Logic Pro,” he says. “I
use a combination of hardware,
software, acoustic instruments,
etcetera, and the process is
pretty different every time.”
On stage, he employs a band.
“The set-up is always being
tweaked, but right now it’s a
four-piece with two keyboardists and a saxophonist who also
acts as a deejay of sorts, running and sampling the beats off
of a computer,” he says.
A native of Pennsylvania, the
27-year-old moved to Portland
in 2009 after finishing college.
He performs regularly outside
the city, and says he’s gotten
good receptions in Los Angeles
and New York. His EP has sold
well in Europe, he says, adding
he’s ready to play MusicFestNW, though not without a bit of
trepidation.
“I think you need a little bit
more of a mature attention
span in order to truly enjoy our
music,” he says of Shy Girls.
“When we play outside during
the bright midday sun, it can be
difficult to create the proper
mood for people. If it were up to

Although he doesn’t consider

Vidmar notes he’s written and
performed for such EDM artists

You can catch Shy Girls at
1:35 p.m. on the Hawthorne
Stage on Saturday.
Modern Kin
Portland guitarist Drew
Grow, bassist Kris Doty and
drummer Jeremiah Hayden
make up Modern Kin (formerly
Drew Grow & The Pastors’

Head to Fogo for heaping helpings of meat
By JENNIFER ANDERSON
The Tribune
I
The gaucho
will put the
mini tongs
in your
hand and
show you
how to grab
the chunk
of meat he
carves for
you in one
expert
slice.
A highlight of the dining
experience at Fogo de Chao is the
signature dessert, papaya cream.
It’s not all about the meat at Fogo de Chao, which is also well-known
for its salad bar.
TRIBUNE PHOTOS: LACEY JACOBY
Alceu Pressi, the general manager (left), and Yuri Teixeira, a gaucho chef, show off two of the many meats
for which Fogo de Chao, a Braz ilian steakhouse, is most well-known.

point kind of way.
Unlike other Brazilian steakhouses in Portland, where an
8-ounce filet mignon alone fetches $45, Fogo’s prix-fixe dinner is
$50 and lunch is $30. That includes as much grilled meat as
you can possibly stomach, their
gourmet salad bar, bottomless s
ide dishes like mashed potatoes,
polenta fries and caramelized
bananas, and a basket of pao de
queijo, the light and pillowy Brazilian cheese bread that must be
what clouds taste like. Dessert
and drinks are extra, but highly
recommended.
Four Northwest beers are on
tap; more than 250 wines are
available (on display in the cellar behind glass in the dining
room), and a dozen Brazilian
cocktails are priced at $13-$14.
A sure bet is the caipirinha,
the Brazilian version of the mojito, with muddled lime, sugar
and cachaca, a sugarcane spirit.
Since it’s the national drink of
Brazil, you have time to start
perfecting your recipe before
the Rio Summer Olympics in
2016.
Starters like shrimp cocktail
and a seafood entree are offered
at additional cost. Skip these
and keep your eyes on the prize.
Head to the salad bar ($26 on
its own for any lost vegetarians
who wander in), where you’ll
want to load up on the olives,
cheeses, greens and Brazilian
hearts of palm so you’ll have
something to cleanse your
palate between meats.
When you’re ready for the
main event, flip the disk on your
table to the green side. In about
four seconds flat the nearest
gaucho — their name for their
cook/ servers, after the 19th-century Brazilian cowboy — will appear at your side with a large
knife and slab of juicy meat.
He’ll tell you what cut it is and
ask what doneness you prefer,
but you might not hear him with
all those endorphins rushing.
The gauchos are used to this.
He’ll put the mini tongs in your
hand and show you how to grab
the chunk of meat he carves for
you in one expert slice.
Do not, under any circumstances, let more than two types
of meat pile up on your plate. It
will get cold, and you will forget
what cut you’re eating (those
meat sweats again). Simply flip
your disk to red to let the gauchos know you don’t want more
for now.
Yes, it’s a paleo dream, but for
others the experience can be
hard to swallow.
Our growing food ethos in
Portland is to eat smaller quantities of meat, appreciatively. We
trace it back to the local farm
and, if we can afford it, choose
organic, grass-fed, sustainably
and humanely raised beef from
a rancher we might even know
by name.
At Fogo, that information isn’t
readily available — maybe it
should be. A call reveals that the
beef and chicken are sourced
from U.S. farms and the lamb is
imported from New Zealand. A
whopping 11 types of meat are
on the menu at Portland, but the
gauchos have just seven or eight
on the floor at once.
Some will find the interactive
experience fun; some will find it
too distracting. Either way, it’s
easy to get used to being spoiled
here. The side dishes keep coming, and that’s a good thing. The
polenta fries are crispy and addictive; the garlic mashed potatoes have the unnatural smoothness of instant potatoes, but are
so perfect with the meat, you
can accidentally eat quite a few
plates of those as well.
Portland diners will appreciate the authenticity and the effort to bridge Brazilian tradition
with Portland aesthetics.
Head gaucho Alceu Pressi,
Portland Fogo’s general manager, grew up in Southern Brazil
where his family used the
churrascaria (fireside roast)
style of cooking meat for backyard barbecues. After working
as a butcher in Brazil for seven
years, he joined Fogo in Brazil in
1998, and came to the United
States two years later.
Portland’s gauchos are
trained in the same methods,
and some are actually Brazilian.
Portland’s location is large
and airy, with windows open to
the downtown streets and wood,
stone and metal throughout, including two wood-carved araucaria trees in the middle of the
space. There’s no waiting to be
seated since they accept reservations, unlike most other Portland restaurants nowadays.
While the food and service
are exquisite, it’s still an unproven concept for the Pacific Northwest. Time will tell if this out-oftown chain can become a Portland institution, like Ruth’s Chris
6
or McCormick & Schmick’s.
If gluttony’s not your thing,
and you can’t push your carbon
footprint conscience out of the
way for the night, this place isn’t
for you.
Did I mention the flan? The
smooth, creamy custard and nottoo-sweet caramel sauce helped
my digestion; I’m told the papaya
cream is also a top-seller.

Welcome to
Fogo de Chao,
the international phenomenon
that could be
any carnivore’s
perfect last
supper.
An international phenomenon since
1979, this meatcentric empire
opened downtown in the old
NikeTown
space in May,
making the
Rose City their
24th and latest location.
It was a big gamble, considering Portland doesn’t have many
8,500-square-foot, 250-seat establishments, and history shows we
have a love-hate relationship
with white-tablecloth chain
restaurants.
Whether it’s elitism or just local pride, there’s a part of our
foodie culture that frowns on
some restaurants or concepts
that are imported, rather than
homegrown.
Three months in, however,
Fogo de Chao (pronounced fo-go
de shoun), a South Americanstyle steakhouse and rotisserie
restaurant, has charmed its way
into the hearts of a certain
breed of Portland diner.
On a recent Saturday night,
Fogo de Chao (which means fire

Here is our lovely Nala and her name means successful in African. She is just 4 months old, a tortie/tabbie
mix and will be competing in this weekend’s cat show,
where we are hoping she will be doubly successful.
One, to win many ribbons and two, to find a great
home. She is unbelievably outgoing and sweet, there
are not many kittens who can handle the crowds and
pressures of the show arena, but we have great faith in
her. Come meet Nala and cheer her on this weekend.

That’s what Nelson did last
year when he arrived from College of the Sequoias in Visalia,
Calif., quickly earning a starting
nod and finishing in a tie for the
Pac-12 lead in interceptions with
six.
Now Nelson is a leader in the
Beaver secondary.
“I have to step up for the
young guys around me,” says
the 5-11 Nelson, who has gained
“10 pounds of muscle” to bulk up
to 200. “I have to be more of a vocal leader, to be a guy who shows
everybody what to do.”
Nelson feels very confident
about the potential of the Beaver
secondary.
“With me and both safeties
coming back, the chemistry is
great,” he says. “Boy, I think
we’re going to make a lot of

Perry says he likes Nelson’s
attitude coming back for his senior campaign.
“Steven is a hard worker,”
Perry says. “He wants to be
good. He has a lot of talent. He’s
not in a comfort zone. He knows
he has to get better. I’m really
excited to see what he can do

The upshot to not playing
basketball is it gave Armstead
an entire offseason to just focus

“Having a whole offseason of
just football with my team, in
the weight room, it was a good
offseason,” Armstead says.
“Each year going in, I expect to

“Jeff had a great spring,” Helfrich says. “He’s really smart. It

Says Lockie: “A lot of things

for the game, where I stand (in
the program). I’ve had hundreds
more reps, a little game time to
work off. Hopefully that shows.”
■ With the Pac-12 more balanced, and teams adapting to
UO’s pace, offense and conditioning, what advantage do the
Ducks still possess?
“Definitely our preparation,”
Mariota says. “Give it up to our
coaches.”
Is it national championship or
bust for Oregon?
“For you to say national championship or bust ... that’s an outside opinion,” Mariota says.

Terry: Family took priority over acting jobs
■ From page B12
competitive traveling team —
Black Diamond Soccer Club —
which had 13 of its 18 players go
to Division I schools. One former teammate, Lindsi Lisonbee
Cutshall, is a National Women’s
Soccer League colleague now,
playing for Sky Blue FC in New
Jersey.
Making it to games back
then wasn’t bending over backward for John; it was a priority.
Hanna’s soccer tournaments
forced John and the family to
Las Vegas for six straight
Thanksgivings, eating dinner
at a pub in their hotel.
When Hanna was younger,
John never told her he would
turn down roles to be around
the family — he had more tact
than that — but he didn’t keep
it a secret at work.
Things got a little testy on
one set in Albuquerque, N.M.,
in the mid-aughts — John declined to say which year —
when the production tried to go
back on a verbal agreement it
had made.
“I said, ‘You need to watch
how I walk out this door, because I’m getting on a plane
and I’m watching my daughter
play soccer. Bye,’” he said.
It’s much easier for him to
take time off these days. John
has been on “sabbatical” from
acting the past six years, living
on a 45-foot Hilu sailboat in the
Caribbean (he transited the
Panama Canal in May).
With the added flexibility,
John says he turned into a
“stalker” last year for Hanna’s
senior season at Northeastern
University, bouncing around
from city to city for the final
seven games of the season.
“This is not like a hardship
for me,” John says. “I did it for
me, man, and it was a ball.”
As normal a household as
the Terry’s purported to be,
that doesn’t mean Dad’s professional life never overlapped into Hanna’s.
On the set of “Zodiac,” Hanna decided she wanted to snap
a photo with two of the stars, a
pre-”Iron Man” Robert Downey
Jr. and post-Kirsten Dunst Jake
Gyllenhaal. The A-Listers were
OK with it, but with one stipulation: “We’re not taking a nor-

into the National Women’s Soccer League team’s future plans.
mal picture.”
Gyllenhaal told Hanna that
they were going to act like
gangsters. She, nervously,
made a duck face. Then
Downey — the personification
of charisma — stormed in and
pretended to eat Hanna’s face.
“They totally made my
month by being so cool,” she
says.
Then there’s the “Surfer,
Dude” experience.
Hanna decided she would
suffer through a vacation in
Malibu, Calif., to watch the star
of the movie, Matthew McConaughey, fresh off one of his
People magazine covers, do
pushups in between takes.
“For a 15-year-old girl, you
just go duh-duh-duh-duh,” Hanna says, scrunching her right
eye and making her head do
spastic jolts to mimic short-cir-
cuiting. “He’s so good looking.”
Just like with “Zodiac,” Hanna needed a picture. This one
would be a bit more conventional — just a typical arm
around the shoulder, “Say,
cheese!” shot — but the moment stuck around longer than
the flash.
After McConaughey left,
Hanna started to pick up a
scent of body odor. She leaned
down, smelled her shoulder
and realized that McConaughey’s famous au naturale,
no-deodorant lifestyle had literally rubbed off on her.
It didn’t matter.
“She didn’t have to run home
and take a shower or anything,”
John Terry says.
McConaughey’s co-star,
Woody Harrelson, then approached Hanna. “So, your
John’s kid?”
A 30-minute conversation
morphed into an invite for Hanna to Harrelson’s personal soccer field in Hawaii, if she ever
made it on the island.
“People really love my dad,”
Hanna says. “He’s a real charismatic person, so when they
hear I’m his daughter, they feel
like they have to be nice, because they really like my dad.
It’s an awesome thing to have
your dad known as a real cool
person.”
John deflects the praise.
“I started at the top, and I’ve
been working my way down
ever since,” he says of his career, quoting Orson Welles in a
subtle North Floridian accent
that stretches his “Os” and
softens his “As”.
After landing two film leads
at the start of his career in New
York, John moved to London
for eight years, where he met
his wife and Hanna’s mother,
Lena, at a house party on the
River Thames.
After they started having
kids, John moved infant Hanna
and his family to Park City,
Utah. At home, he strived for
the post-Korean War typical
household he grew up with,
then had the option to take one
of the 10 to 15 daily flights to
Los Angeles and remain one of
the 3 percent of the Screen Actors Guild members that he
says makes a living.
“I could work a couple
months, crack the annual nut,
and be Mr. Mom the rest of the
year,” John says. “I was never a
movie star, I was never a TV
star — I was a working actor.
The thing that was the most attractive to me was that I got to
spend time with my kids.
“And, of course, look at the
damage I did to them.”
This is tongue-in-cheek, of
course. Other than Hanna becoming a professional athlete,
John raised an older son named
JC — Hanna calls him “the
child star” — who graduated
with a degree in mechanical
engineering from Cal Poly and
works as an aerospace engineer in San Diego in between
shows as a deejay.
But, Hanna’s trophy case
isn’t anything to balk at, either.
As a high school freshman,
her team won the state championship and she was named to
the all-state team in Utah. By
the start of her junior year at
Park City High, she already
had committed to the University of Utah. She capped her prep
career with state MVP honors
as a senior.
Early in her life as a collegian, Hanna quickly realized
that Utah wasn’t for her. After
the first season, she wanted to
transfer, but coach Rich Manning only allowed her to look at
a few, select schools.
One of those was Northeastern, in Boston, where one of
Hanna’s childhood idols, Tracey Leone, was the head coach.
Unfortunately for Hanna,
Northeastern only needed a
goalie, and with how arduous
the transfer process became,
Hanna’s fate quickly seemed
set to return to Utah.
She remembers lying face up
on her Marriott Courtyard bed
with one of her teammates,
feeling sorry for herself.
“I don’t know what I’m going
to do,” she said. “I’ve never
been so upset. I’ve never been
so lost.”
That moment, she got a text
from her club coach, Richie
Breza, and a call from her dad.
Northeastern wanted her.
“It was like a movie,” Hanna
says. “I’m sitting there expressing my grief ... and I get the
phone call.”
Over the next few years,
Hanna battled with injuries
(knee and hip mostly) but ended up hitting her apex as a player at the end of her junior year
in college. She found her stride
at Northeastern, got invited to
a tournament with the un-

Soccer: Former idols now Thorns mates
■ From page B8
der-23 Swedish national team
— she has a dual citizenship —
and for the first time really
thought she could compete on a
professional level.
Judgment day came while
she was studying abroad in
England.
H a n n a
watched the
National Wome n ’s S o c c e r
League draft,
hunkered over
a laptop at 8
p.m. on a Saturday while
TERRY
her friends
were out, just
to see if the outside shot of being drafted came to fruition.
After two rounds, the “little
spark of hope” she carried earlier in the day had deflated.
“You have to be confident,”
Hanna says, launching into how
applicable her dad’s job can be,
even for a soccer player. “You
get shut down so many times in
acting — there’s so many jobs he
didn’t get that went to bigger actors. If you go into
an (audition) without confidence,
your chances of
getting a role are
down the drain.
It’s the same in
soccer. You need
self-belief.”
In professional
women’s soccer,
as with most professional sports,
the end of the
draft doesn’t necessarily signify
the end of hope.
After invitations to combine
tryouts from both
the NWSL Boston
Breakers and the Thorns, Hanna impressed enough to get offers to join both clubs.
It came down to either going
back to Boston or heading to Oregon. Then came the tipping
point.
Hanna got an email from
Thorns coach Paul Riley, who
enclosed a photo. It was of Providence Park, teeming with rabid
soccer fans and an energy that
jumped out of the image. It also
came with a note.
“I know you’re making a decision right now,” Riley wrote. “I
just want you to check this out
because there’s no other place
like this in the world.”
After that, the decision didn’t
seem so seismic.
“Portland is my dream city,”
she says. “You get to train at
Nike. You get to train at Providence Park. They were the (2013
inaugural) NWSL champions.
You get to play with the best
players in the world. And, at the
end of the day, if I get to stay on
as a practice player in Portland,
I’m going to grow more than if I
was on a squad somewhere
else.”
With that, Hanna joined the
practice squad in Portland, the
same city her dad did the Lifetime movie “A Change of Heart”
with Jean Smart in the late
1990s.
Hanna immediately moved
from London and finished her
classes online during the
NWSL preseason, forcing her
to miss her graduation. Instead, she celebrated with
drinks at Prost! on North Mississippi Avenue with one of her
childhood idols, Rachel Van
Hollebeke. She still hasn’t seen
her diploma.
But once she hit the field as a
Thorn, the transition from working
out twice a week in
London to twice a
day with the best
in the world didn’t
go smoothly. Hanna admittedly was
the weakest player
on the field.
“The first few
weeks were some
of the toughest of
my life,” she says.
“I was playing so
bad, I couldn’t believe it. It’s not an
exaggeration. I
— John Terry would love to say it
was because of the
competition, but I
was just playing horrible.
“I was crying a lot, to be
honest.”
What didn’t help was how
discouraging being on the practice team can be. Every day she
would practice, go through all
the drills, do every activity with
the team — and then on game
day she would have to trudge
up to the stands to watch her
team from a seat instead of
from the Thorns’ bench.
This really started to take a
toll on Hanna, but whenever
her teammates saw her shoulders slump a little, they helped
“I was never a
movie star, I was
never a TV star
— I was a
working actor.
The thing that
was the most
attractive to me
was that I got to
spend time with
my kids.”

her out. Emails, text messages
and handwritten letters came
in; little words of encouragement from the women Hanna
grew up admiring.
“We love you, we’re here for
you. You do you, we’re here for
you.”
The thoughts really counted.
“That was so cool to me,”
Hanna says. “They didn’t have
to do that.
“It’s really rare you feel that
kind of love.”
Hanna says she still has
“pinch-me moments” a couple
times a week, even though that’s
something she’d never tell her
teammates. She used to idolize
many of the Thorns — and now
she goes wine tasting with them.
She goes to barbecues with
them. She hits the beach and
goes hiking with them.
She still remembers how, in
seventh grade, she got a call to
go to the principal’s office. Her
mom was waiting there, ready
to take her to California to
watch the 2003 Women’s World
Cup in California.
There, Hanna watched Christine Sinclair play for the Canadian national team.
“Christine Sinclair was one of
my favorite players,” she says.
“Now I play with her every day
in practice.”
Of course, having legends
such as Sinclair on the Portland
roster makes it difficult for
Hanna to crack a starting spot.
So far this season, going into
the final regular-season game
at 2 p.m. Sunday at home
against the first-place Seattle
Reign, she has logged eight total minutes of game action.
Riley lauds Hanna’s versatility and calls her “monotype,”
but he just can’t see exactly
where she’d work in the lineup
at this time.
“She’s one for the future,” Riley says. “(She’s been) a big
part of the team the entire season, and she got her just reward getting signed.”
It all became official with one
recent text from Riley.
“It looks like we can sign you
Friday. More details to follow,”
he said in the message.
Hanna was out in the woods
near Mount Hood, at a koozie
necklace proprietor’s house,
when she got the Thorns’
contract.
Hanna was resourceful. She
printed out the contract and
signed it on the floor. Then she
downloaded an app, scanned
her first contract with her cell
phone and sent it off, officially
becoming the newest member
of the Portland Thorns.
“It was totally the most validating experience I’ve had,”
she says — of earning the contract, not scanning it.
Then she got another text.
This one was from teammate
and American soccer sweetheart Alex Morgan, one of the
Thorns’ stars.
“I’m so proud of you. You’ve
always been part of the team,
now you’re just getting paid for
it!” Morgan said in her text.
Unfortunately for Hanna, every player signs year-to-year
contracts in the NSWL, and so
she can be cut or traded at any
time.
With the limited security,
she already is looking to the future and staying busy.
Hanna will play in Cyprus in
September for a club team
named Apollo. She’d also eventually like to play for a national
team — either Sweden or the
U.S. — if that opportunity presents itself down the road.
But for now, the next challenge is the home match versus
Seattle, and her dad will be
there among the thousands of
Thorns fans, wearing his “Terry” jersey.
The last time he made it to
Portland was for Father’s Day,
when Hanna played the first
three minutes of her pro career
against the Washington Spirit.
While he was visiting, John
and Hanna went out with the
rest of the Thorns, and their
two professional lives finally
came full circle.
All her life, Hanna had rolled
her eyes and been embarrassed
whenever her dad was recognized in public.
On Father’s Day, the tables
turned. Hanna got recognized
as a Thorn right in front of her
dad, and John approved.
Hanna was gracious and appreciative. Humility rubbed off
from childhood.
“I was pretty prepared for
this in ways I didn’t realize until it happened,” she says. “It
was 20/20 hindsight, as always.”

Service improvements coming this fall
Every day we connect riders to where they need to go. And
every weekday, residents take more than 300,000 trips on
TriMet. Over a third of these trips are taken to and from work.
That’s why it’s good news for all of us that we are improving
service. After several long years of service cuts and fare
increases caused by the economic crisis, now we are able to
align service with available resources.
This fall we are restoring service on high demand routes,
reducing crowding and wait times, and increasing schedule
reliability.
More Frequent Service

also run every 15 minutes (or better) into the evening hours.
Less crowding
In September, we’re also adding more buses to Lines 4, 8, 9, 10,
15, 20, 33, 44, 76, 94 and 99 to relieve overcrowding.
Better schedule reliability
Schedules have already improved on Line 71 and will improve
for Lines 20 and 87, to better match traffic conditions and
ridership. Look for similar changes to Lines 19, 22, 48 and 72 in
December.

important.”
Massari has coined a phrase
he hopes will stick: “a Benny
for your Thoughts.” Game-day
ushers will wear buttons soliciting advice, with some sort of
inducement offered to fans
with ideas.
One idea is to open up Tommy Prothro Field two hours
before game time and let kids
young and old toss the football
around. The hope is Truax
Center continues to grow as a
pregame stop for fans, too.
“We have a culture we want
to keep,” Massari says, “but
there’s a bunch of stuff we
want to do better.”
Massari is working with
Nike on home uniforms that
will be labeled “Bold” for black
and “United” for orange. Fans
will be alerted in advance so
they can wear the color of the
day. The look, he says, will be
“Beaver authentic.”
“Our coaches have that
mantra about them,” Massari
says. “We’re authentic people.
In a state that splits its loyalties, we want to fight for our
side of that and get our piece
of that pie. When we launch
our brand, we just have to
communicate it. We’re a program you don’t sleep on. It’s
the same way with our fan
base. There’s a fight about our
school and our programs and
our supporters that I love.”
De Carolis’ contract runs
through 2016. Despite a diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease
in 2012, the Beavers’ AD would
like to go beyond that to see
the Reser project to
completion.
Some believe Massari was
brought in as De Carolis’ heir
apparent.
“I wasn’t promised that,”
Massari insists. “I didn’t ask
for that. And I don’t deserve
that. I just have to come in and
do a good job. Bob has a
chance to finish off a great
project he started with Mitch
(Barnhart, his predecessor),
and I’m here to serve him.”
It’s a good thing Massari has
come aboard, too. There is no
time to waste in the arms race
that is Pac-12 athletics.

Ducks put ■ John Terry takes on fan role as daughter Hanna joins Thorns
pro draft

mark at receiver
ACTOR
ATHLETE
Story by George Artsitas
Hanna Terry
starred at
forward for
Northeastern
University as the
Boston-based
school won the
Colonial Athletic
Association
championship in
2013, her senior
season, to make
the NCAA
playoffs. She
was named the
outstanding
player of
the league
tournament.
n hindsight, there’s a scene in the 1995 movie “The Big Green” that pretty much sums
up the Terrys — John and his daughter,
Hanna.
In the film, John Terry, playing drunken single dad Ed, shows up at his daughter’s soccer
game. After 75 minutes of crusty and callous
contempt, he makes a surprise appearance in
the second half of the championship to cheer on
his daughter, eyes welling up when he finally
sees her play.
That moment steals the movie. It’s the type of
heartwarmer Disney has built an empire on.
And it could not have been more prescient.
Nearly 20 years later, veteran actor John
Terry is still showing up at soccer games, sober,
of course — but now it’s in real life.
For his real daughter.
And among thousands of adoring Portland
soccer fans.
“I thought that was so
sweet,” 23-year-old Hanna
Terry says of the movie. “It’s
just like our relationship.”
Hanna Terry, a 5-5 forward,
inked her first contract with
the Thorns on Aug. 1. The
deal not only was a big step
in her young professional career, but it also enabled her
to take another step out of
her dad’s Hollywood shadow.
Hanna is growing a name
for herself on her own merit,
and she can comfortably say
she traded the alluring brand
of Hollywood nepotism for
organic personal success.
“It was always just implied
that that was the life that we
lived,” she says, between sips
of coffee in downtown
Portland.
She is wearing a green
flannel shirt tied around gray
pants that reach down to her
white high-top Converse
sneakers. She has a dark
gray Bob Marley shirt with
— Hanna Terry
the sleeves cut off to show
toned arms that would make
Madonna jealous. Sartorially,
she’s adjusting to Portland just fine.
“I understood not everyone got to go on set
with their dad and meet celebrities and stuff,”
she says. “I understood that. But it was never
really anything that we talked about.
“I don’t know if my teammates really know.”
If they don’t, it’s by Hanna’s choice. She admits that she’s still a little opaque on purpose.
Whenever someone asks what her dad does for
a living, she always responds with, “He’s in the
entertainment industry.”
John’s IMDB page reads like a character actor’s dream: TV, movies, commercials, plays.
John, 63, called himself the “King of European Commercials” for a stretch in the ‘80s. He
can count a James Bond movie to his credit and,
if he wanted to, could brag about working with
some of the greatest filmmakers of all time. In
“Full Metal Jacket,” Stanley Kubrick uses
John’s mug to help ease the tension after one of
the burliest murder/suicides in film history. In
“Zodiac,” David Fincher enlisted John to read
the title serial killer’s haunting letters in a cold,
terrifying deadpan.
But what John probably is most known for is
his role as Dr. Christian Shepherd, Jack’s alcoholic father who wandered around the island on
the hit ABC-TV show “Lost.”
Unlike some of the drunken dads he’s played,
John never let his career keep him from encouraging his daughter’s soccer career.
At age 10, Hanna began playing on an uber-

EUGENE — Oregon defensive back Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
and center Hroniss Grasu
both gave up the opportunity
to make a lot of money when
they decided to come back to
the Oregon Ducks football
team this year rather than enter the NFL draft.
Grasu, a redshirt senior, says
he decided to play one more year
of college because of his teammates and his coaches.
“I love being around these
guys, Coach (Mark) Helfrich and
all the coaches,” he says. “I really trust what they’re saying, and
I wanted to come back and help
this team win.”
Ekpre-Olomu says it was a difficult decision for him to wait on
pro football.
“But at the
same time, I always felt I
could wait another year for
the NFL and it
wasn’t something I had to
rush into,” he
EKPRE-OLOMU says. “This was
a year I could
get myself ready for the whole
aspect of starting a new life.”
Prudence would dictate that
both players take out an insurance policy on themselves.
Those policies are quite expensive, though the school is allowed to help pay for part of it.
For instance, Florida State
helped quarterback Jamies Winston pay the $60,000 it cost for
him to take out a $10 million
policy.
Did the University of Oregon
help pay for policies for Grasu
and Ekpre-Olomu?
“That’s between my family ... “
Grasu says.
Says Ekpre-Olomu: “I don’t really talk about that in an interview.”
■ Junior tight end Pharaoh
Brown says he is a more mature
person after being suspended
from the Alamo Bowl last season
for a snowball fight.
“It’s always a learning experience when you make a mistake,” Brown says. “That’s
what humans learn from is
mistakes. We’d never learn if
we succeeded at everything.
Just making that mistake, I
was able to learn from it, and
I’ve matured a lot from then.
I’m just moving on now.”
Brown says he is not looking
at the suspension as extra motivation for this season. However,
not playing in the Alamo Bowl
did make him hungrier.
“I’m self-motivated,” he says.
“I don’t need to make a mistake
to get motivated. But, missing a
game, I’m ready to get back.”
With the Ducks’ lack of depth
at receiver, Brown’s ability to
catch the ball could be critical for
Oregon.
“Most of our top receivers are
gone,” he says. “There’s a lot of
balls to be caught.”
■ The Ducks seemingly have
some question marks at receiver
(with four top guys gone or injured), but Helfrich says the
depth chart is full.
“We haven’t been this deep,
certainly at receiver, in a long
time,” he says.
Jesuit High grad Keanon
Lowe, a part-time starter the
past two years, leads the group.
Bralon Addison, who had 61 receptions for 890 yards and seven
TDs, and added 21 punt returns
for a 14.1-yard average and two
scores, will miss the majority of
the season with a knee injury,
although he hopes to return late
in the season.
It’ll depend on the Ducks; if
Addison is ready to play and the
Ducks are still playing relevant
games, he is likely to play.
