State election laws

The Hillsboro Tribune
A longtime Democratic Party activist has filed an elections complaint against Republican state Sen.
Bruce Starr of Hillsboro.
The complaint was filed with the
Elections Division of the Oregon
Secretary of State’s Office July 31 by
retired educator Paul Erickson, Jr. It
charges that Starr violated state
elections laws by sending a campaign fundraising letter to people
who contacted him through his legislative email account. State law prohibits the use of public resources for
campaign purposes.

Oregon U.S. Sen. Ron
Wyden demonstrated his
knowledge of federal, state
and local issues during a
wide-ranging appearance
before the Westside Economic Alliance, a public-private economic development
partnership that represents
Washington and western
Clackamas counties, Monday in Tigard.
Among other things, Wyden
promised to help secure federal funds to ease traffic congestion in Washington County and
pay for safety repairs to Scoggins Dam, a key component of
the county’s water supply system. The dam is owned by the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
and creates Hagg Lake, which
feeds the Tualatin River.
“Scoggins Dam is a federal
facility that needs to be fixed,”
Wyden said. “The uncertainty
is taking a toll on economic development.”
Wyden also said he would
push the U.S. Department of
Defense to buy and install
more American-made solar
panels, a move that would help
support the SolarWorld manufacturing plant in Hillsboro. It
recently announced that approximately 100 employees will
be laid off because of what
company officials term illegal
competition from government-
supported plants in China.
During a brief address and
lengthy question-and-answer
session, Wyden, a Democrat,
repeatedly stressed the need
for Congress to find bipartisan
solutions to the problems facing the country. For example,
Wyden said that when he returns to Washington, D.C., he
will introduce measures supported by
Republicans to
make
Medicare
sustainable.
Wyden
returned
to Medicare several times
during remarks,
saying it
— Sen. Ron Wyden
and tax reform are
the two
most pressing issues facing
Congress. According to
Wyden, unless Medicare costs
are controlled, it will eventually consume all available federal funds. That will be true
even if Congress reforms the
tax code, something Wyden
said is long overdue.
“The reason there’s so much
money in the private sector sitting on the sidelines is economic uncertainty,” Wyden said.
Wyden also mentioned transportation funding several times.
He noted that the death of the
Columbia River Crossing project raised questions about how
congestion will now be reduced
between cities in Washington
“Scoggins

care to our growing region is a key
component of a vibrant economic
development strategy.
“Companies big and small need
appropriate health care services
for their employees, in addition to
all the other important services
that bring investment to our region.”
Westside Medical Center
(WMC), located at 2875 N.W. Stucki
Ave. near the Tanasbourne area, is
a 126-bed hospital with eight oper-
ating rooms and 27 treatment
rooms in the emergency department. The facility offers the very
latest in health care technology,
and is considered a regional center
for joint replacement surgeries.
The hospital is also a LEED
(Leadership Energy & Environmental Design)-certified facility, which
means the hospital has focused on
energy efficiency and other environmentally sound practices.
In addition, with studies showing
that an aesthetically pleasing environment helps in the recovery process, WMC has invested heavily in

Center Tuesday, Aug. 6.
artwork as another aspect of healing. The hospital contracted with 84
artists from around the region to
create a variety of art for display
around the hospital — everything
from paintings and murals to poetry and sculptures.
All the effort appears to have
paid off, as hospital administrators
said they are ecstatic over the way
the opening day played out.
“Everything has gone smoothly,
and the reason for that is that we’ve
been training staff for the last three
months,” Andy McCulloch, president and CEO of Kaiser Permanente Northwest, said Tuesday
morning. “We’ve worked to make
our staff familiar with the new
buildings and technology, and now
we’re ready to take the first patients.”
McCulloch said he was unaware
of any snags connected to the opening.
“It has been smooth and noneventful,” he said. “Overall, the
building and facilities are exceeding expectations.”
McCulloch said the facility had
already treated 10 patients in the
emergency room as of noon on its
first day, and the hospital had about
18 surgeries scheduled during the
day.
“We tried to have a birth too, but
the baby didn’t cooperate. Kids
these days,” joked McCulloch.
According to hospital officials,
the first two non-emergency patients having surgeries at the new
Westside Medical Center included a
child having a tonsillectomy and an
elderly person having a knee replacement procedure.
“The first two patients are out of
surgery and doing fine,” said Erin
Tassey, a spokesperson for Kaiser
Permanente.
McCulloch stressed that training
the staff has been a high priority.
“Once the building was turned
over to the hospital with the certificate of occupancy, we used the time
to test the building and install hightech medical equipment. Then we
brought the staff in here to familiarize themselves not only with the
building but with the equipment,”
McCulloch said.
In all, WMC has approximately
1,000 employees,
There are no plans for an official
grand opening ceremony. There
have been numerous public visitations in recent months as the hospital prepared for its debut.
“Thousands of people have come
through here over the summer. It’s
been kind of a rolling grand opening,” explained McCulloch.
In total, the WMC project, including site improvements, construction and equipment, cost $345 million. Groundbreaking for the facility was in June 2009.
woman had a Caesarean section that evening,
and a few hours later another expectant mother was induced.
While the labor and delivery section of obstetrics and gynecology was pretty quiet during the hospital’s opening day, the staff got to
work with patients for the first time in several
weeks that night.
“So much time and effort has been put into
training so that the first patient we receive
gets the same enthusiasm as the 300th — but
none of us have had a patient for the last twoand-a-half months,” said Kathryn Vandewalle,
a nurse hired in April.
“There will be a lot of ‘rock, paper, scissors’
this first week to see who gets to be with patients,” said Debbie Williams. She’s been with
Kaiser for 20 years and was head nurse for the
opening.
The labor and delivery section has large
windows and bamboo floors, with a hide-a-bed
sofa in private rooms offering views of a rooftop garden. Nearly every wall on the floor is
adorned with art from numerous Northwest
artists, following a theme of wildflowers.
“Hospitals can look really sterile, but this
looks like a home,” said Williams.
Many hospitals have beds separated only by
curtains, but WMC’s rooms are individual with
a bed and bathroom for each.
“I love our labor rooms,” said Vandewalle,
who previously worked at Providence. “The
way this building has made use of light and
space really brings things to life.”
Each room’s accoutrements strive to make
the pregnant patient’s visit as easy as possible.
Women are able to walk about, since each
room is equipped with a telemetry unit. An interactive patient computer is located next to
the patient’s bed. A remote has request-specific buttons — for water, pain, toilet or general
assistance — so nurses can be more efficient.
“Patients define who family is and we don’t
have visiting hours,” said Patty Solis, director
of maternal-child woman’s health.
Just down the hall, there are 20 postpartum
rooms, many with views of the living rooftop
— part of a high-level sustainability certification. Each room has its own mini-fridge and
double privacy curtains, nice for first-time
mothers breastfeeding their babies, said Solis.
In early 2012, a committee of doctors, including Williams, came to the construction site
before the walls were up and created a priority
list for which rooms needed to go where. One
result is that a small nursery is now conveniently located next to the surgery room, a fact
that makes dealing with emergencies easier.
There is also a tub room for hydrotherapy
— not water births — but if Mother Nature
calls there’s a gurney and a warmer just in
case.
Kaiser officials estimated the center will
bring an average of 1,400 new lives into the
world each year.

Hybrid Heating and Air Conditioning was one of
just three authorized dealers in Oregon to win the
coveted 2013 President’s Award from Carrier
At Hybrid Heating and Air Conditioning, we take pride in
the quality of our work and customer service. Owner and
President Kevin Kuntz insists on outstanding service for
every customer who walks through the doors of our
Cornelius-based business, which just won the 2013
Carrier President’s Award, the highest honor for a Carrier
brand factory-authorized dealer. This is the third year
Hybrid Heating and Air Conditioning has won the President’s
Award — one of just three awarded in Oregon this year.
It’s no secret why.
EXPERIENCE
Kevin and
the rest of
our staff of
eight have
more than
160 years of
combined
experience
in the
heating,
cooling and
refrigeration
industry.
Kevin Kuntz
Kevin stands
behind our
work. Hybrid is the company to call for
fast, dependable service or installation
of air conditioners, ductless systems,
furnaces or heat pumps.
Hybrid Heating and Air
Conditioning has been serving
residential and commercial
customers in the local community
and beyond for more than 29
years, as McClenny RHC and as
Hybrid.
Kevin bought our company five years
ago and has continued to provide the
friendly, prompt and professional
services customers have come to
expect. Our staff provides 24-hour
residential and commercial
emergency service, one of the
only local companies to do so.
LONG-TERM
RELATIONSHIPS
“Every customer, no matter how
big or small the project, is very
important to me and my staff,”
Kevin says. “Our team believes in a
long-lasting relationship with all
customers.”
One way we do that is by providing
maintenance contracts with every
new installation for the first year of
operation and offering the same
maintenance contracts for existing
equipment.
“It amazes me how many calls we
receive from local homeowners who
have a new system that’s been
installed by another company, but
want us to perform the maintenance
because the other company doesn’t
offer contracts or doesn’t want to
travel to perform the maintenance,”
says Kevin, who notes that proof of
routine maintenance is often
required by major brands offering
extended warranties.
“Think of your heating system as a
new automobile,” he says. “If you
took your car in for an engine
problem after the first year and
hadn’t changed your oil according to
the maintenance schedule, the
manufacturer wouldn’t cover the
engine replacement due to lack of
maintenance. That’s an expensive
mistake for a $30 oil change.”
OTHER SERVICES
In addition to heating and cooling services, including dual-fuel
heating and cooling, gas furnaces and heat pump service and
installation, zonal heating and cooling, Hybrid Heating and Cooling
offers the following services:

ENVIRONMENTAL
ETHIC
All new equipment installed by our
staff has Puron refrigerant, which,
unlike the more common R-22
refrigerant, doesn’t deplete the
earth’s ozone layer.
“We have installed the Puron units for
eight years now, although R-22 was
also available,” Kevin says. The cost
for Puron units is more expensive,
Kevin explains, but the refrigerant is
less expensive than R-22, which is
rising in cost as it is phased out. “We
make a conscious effort to
promote and sell Puron equipment
to all of our customers,” Kevin
says. “We have lost many jobs
because we didn’t offer the R-22
equipment,” he says. “But peace of
mind for me, knowing that we are
not contributing to global
warming, outweighs the losses.”
CARRIER QUALITY
As a Carrier brand factory authorized
dealer, Hybrid Heating and Air
Conditioning offers a wide variety of
furnaces, heat pumps and air
conditioning systems to meet your
needs and your budget. “We use
cutting edge technology to help
us put together the best options
available for our customers,” Kevin
says.
If you own an air conditioner, or heat
pump that is more than 10 years old,
new equipment can save you 20% to
50% in energy usage. Efficiency
standards were raised several years
ago by the federal government. “What
we considered-high efficiency
equipment five years ago is now
viewed as entry-level models,” he says.
Kevin is confident he can find an
energy-efficient system for every
customer’s needs. Carrier stands
behind its products with a 100
percent satisfaction guarantee
and a 10-year parts warranty.
“Carrier has the best technology and
most efficient heat pump on the
market today,” Kevin says. “They’re
always striving to do better.”
In addition to installation and
service, the Hybrid staff will do all
the paperwork if you’re eligible for
tax credits and rebates. “We want
to make it simple and easy for the
customer,” says Kevin.

It was hard to tell who the
drivers were honking at —
the young women in bikinis
or the ones holding protest
signs and a baby.
Both groups were standing
on the corner of 19th Avenue
and Elm Street in Forest Grove
on July 25, waving at cars and
trying to get a message across
with their handwritten signs.
“Not Welcome” and “Family
Friendly Business?” read two of
them.
“Bikini Coffee” and “Bikini
Baristas Now Open,” read two
others.
The community coffee clash
was sparked by the opening of
Forest Grove’s newest business,
Dream Girl Espresso, in a Plaid
Pantry parking lot.
Dream Girl LLC sells hot and
cold drinks with a smile and a
side of sexy. In March, it opened
its first coffee kiosk in Hillsboro
— in an out of the way bar parking lot off TV Highway — apparently without a peep from
the community.
But its new location — on one
of Forest Grove’s two main
streets and near a residential
neighborhood — has drawn
more attention than co-owner
Leah Sizemore anticipated.
That may be because the
baristas’ garb is already changing — from the two-piece bikinis they wore at the opening to
the stick-on nipple coverings
and see-through lace underwear 19-year-old Tori Walker
greeted customers with Tuesday. Opponents said the issue is
about far more — or, in clothing
terms, less — than bikinis.
Sizemore, 24, is tan and fit
with long dark hair and a bikinifriendly body.
Five years ago, she applied
for work at a number of typical
espresso stands. Her lack of experience left her down-and-out,
until a bikini barista company
in the Seattle area gave her an
opportunity that changed her
life.
At first her father disapproved, she said, but after about
a year he began to see positive
outcomes of her job. She was

teenagers hollered and pedestrians stared.
As with Forest Grove’s other
small protests, a police car
parked across the street to ensure sidewalks remained passable and interaction peaceful.
Police Capt. Mike Herb said he
wasn’t surprised by the protest
in small-town, family-friendly
Forest Grove, but added the
stand is far from crossing any
legal lines.
Indecent exposure laws apply
only if employees attempt to
sexually gratify themselves or
others, Herb said, and “from
what we’ve seen so far, I don’t
think they’re even close.”
Forest Grove resident Eric
Canon said the business exploits and commercializes feminine sexuality. He respects each
woman’s decision to work wherever she chooses, but “so much
of our society revolves around
how women look,” he said.
“They’re objects, they’re no longer human beings.”
Sizemore has given up trying
to change people’s minds about
her business, but feels protesters might have their priorities
mixed up.
“As a country, there are huge
issues that need attention,” she
said, citing education funding
and school bullying. “What if
people spent their time protesting those instead?”

BUSINESS
Interns ought to be paid Glencoe grad receives
BIZ
BEAT
movie “Black Swan” because
they were essentially regular
employees. “Searchlight received the benefits of their unpaid work, which otherwise
would have required paid employees,” the judge said.
Pauley said unpaid internships should be permitted only
in very limited circumstances.
He added that whether an intern is receiving college credit
for the work matters little in
determining whether an intern
should be paid.
Pauley’s ruling isn’t a departure from precedent. There’ve
been other cases, too, in which
courts have ruled that interns
must be paid.
You’d think companies
would have learned by now and
stopped trying to get free labor
from interns, but many persist.
“In some industries, especially media, the unpaid internship is the risk many companies are willing to take,” Ed
Reeves, a labor and employment attorney at Stoel Rives
LLP, told me. “Less so in other
businesses. We counsel against
that risk, but not every company asks.”
Some businesses that bring
on interns without paying
them may think it’s enough
that they get experience, do
some networking and get to
hang around the fascinating
people who do the “real work.”
But aside from the legal issues, that means students from
well-off families can afford to
take a career-building unpaid
internship, but not the kid from
an average family struggling to
deal with potentially crippling
college loan debt. That perpetuates inequality.
Fortunately, there are local
models to copy. All the 259 interns placed so far this year by
Beaverton-based Business Education Compact (BEC), are
paid, according to Darrin
Marks, BEC’s director of student services. There are vary-
ing rates based on their education level as well as what the
company that places them
would like to start them out at.
Typical rates are $10 an hour
for high school students and
$12 to $14 an hour for college
students.
Paid internships tend to pay
off more for students too. According to the National Association of Colleges & Employers,
class of 2013 graduates who
had done paid internships outpaced their unpaid peers in job
offers and salaries.
Among 2013
graduates who
had applied
for a job, those
who took part
in paid internships enjoyed
a distinct advantage over
their peers
who undertook an unpaid
experience or
who didn’t do
an internship.
An association survey
showed that
63.1 percent of
paid interns
received at least one job offer.
In comparison, only 37 percent
of unpaid interns got an offer;
that’s not much better than results for those with no internship — 35.2 percent received at
least one job offer.
In terms of starting salary,
too, paid interns did significantly better than other job applicants: The median starting
salary for new grads with paid
internship experience was
$51,930 — far outdistancing
their counterparts with an unpaid internship ($35,721) or no
internship experience ($37,087).
So what should local businesses offering internships do?
First, check with an attorney
and/or the Oregon Bureau of
Labor & Industries for guidance. Then do the right thing:
Pay your interns. You’ll both be
the better for it.
You’d think
companies
would have
learned by
now and
stopped
trying to
get free
labor from
interns, but
many
persist.
Gordon Faber scholarship
Ramirez-Florian
receives $2,500 for
studies in health care
Yabilex Ramirez-Florian,
a Glencoe High School
graduate, has been selected
to be the recipient of the
$2,500 Gordon Faber Scholarship for health care education.
Ramirez-Florian was selected through a competitive application and interview process from among five finalists
representing each of Hillsboro’s public high schools.
She will attend Concordia
University in the fall, and
plans to become a registered
nurse.
“My life goal is to provide
physical and emotional care
for the sick and infirmed as a
nurse,” said Ramirez-Florian.
“The Hillsboro Community
Foundation scholarship will
help me attain my education
and fulfill my dream of helping people. I am proud that
my commitment to the community and academic achievement has earned me this honor.”
Ramirez-Florian has devoted her volunteer time to English as a second language
(ESL) community service, using
her bilingual
skills to interpret and
translate for
students, parents and
RAMIREZ- teachers. She
FLORIAN has also
taught reading and study
skills to elementary school
students through the Nike
Summer Literacy Program,
for which she received recognition as “teacher of the
month.”
A member of the National
Honor Society, Ramirez-Florian is the recipient of numerous academic and community
service awards, including the
Glencoe High School Principal’s Award and Parent Outreach Award. She has been a
member of MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano
de Aztlán), a student organization that promotes higher
education, leadership and
community service within the
Latino community.
She is also a volunteer for
the Glencoe High Diversity
Club, which fosters greater
understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity.
“All of the finalists were
impressive, and it was a difficult decision,” said
Funda Kelsay,
HCF board
member and
member of
the HCF
Scholarship
Committee.
“Ramirez-Florian’s commitment to
the community, academic
excellence
and extracur— Yabilex ricular
Ramirez-Florian achievements
contributed
to her earning this distinction. Her desire to care
for others is deep and genuine and she has the intelligence and commitment to
make her goal of becoming a
nurse a reality.”
The Gordon Faber Scholarship was established in 2001
in recognition of the former
mayor’s service to Hillsboro.
The scholarship fund and program is managed by HCF to
support organizations and
programs that enhance the
quality of life in greater Hillsboro.
“My life
goal is to
provide
physical
and
emotional
care for the
sick and
infirmed as
a nurse.”

A
hhh, it’s summertime
in the city, with baseball, concerts in the
park, day camps, outdoor festivals … and unpaid interns.
Eager young interns are
plugging away this summer at
businesses across Hillsboro,
learning about the world of
work. Some are being paid, but
others are working for free.
The Hillsboro Hops baseball
team, for example, has five interns working for them. On
game and non-game days they
do such things as promotional
work, helping with preparations for entertainment during
the games, assisting front-office employees and taking ticket orders. Some of the interns
are getting college credit for
their work.
But none of them are being
paid. Not one thin dime. Not
one red cent.
Come on now. Legal issues
aside, do you really think the
Hops, operating in a $15.6 million ballpark subsidized by the
city, can’t afford it?
It’s a good thing the Hops
and other local businesses are
offering internship opportunities to young people, but they
are treading on thin ice by not
paying them.
Federal law is clear that
most interns should be paid at
least the minimum wage plus
overtime after 40 hours a week.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), covered and
non-exempt individuals who
are “suffered or permitted” to
work must be compensated for
the services they perform for
an employer. According to the
U.S. Department of Labor, internships in the “for-profit” private sector will most often be
viewed as employment.
In June, federal District

COMMENTARY
When it comes
to coffee,
Hillsboro is not
Forest Grove
W
hat works for one community doesn’t
necessarily mean it’s appropriate for a
neighboring community. That is what
the owners of Hillsboro-based Dream
Girl Espresso (it’s known as “Bikini Coffee” at its
Hillsboro location) are learning as they deal with a
small hornet’s nest of protest following the July 25
opening of their second coffee kiosk, this one in Forest Grove.
It may not seem that a coffee shop would create
controversy, but Dream Girl Espresso is not your typical purveyor of coffee.
In general, we like to see new businesses opening
around the area because it’s a
sign of healthy economic
growth. But we do not believe
Dream Girl — in its current
format, at least — is a good fit for the Forest Grove
community.
The hook with this particular coffee house is not
necessarily the coffee, but the fact that customers are
served by women who are close to naked. We’re not
talking about women wearing bikinis here, because
bikinis would not be that unusual. But some of the
servers have been seen wearing pasties and seethrough panties — something you’d expect to see in a
strip club, perhaps, in a sleazy section of Portland or
Seattle, but not at a drive-through coffee shop on the
edge of a quiet neighborhood in Forest Grove. And
that’s where this business crosses the line.
In Forest Grove, Dream Girl is in a highly visible
public location in a Plaid Pantry parking lot along
19th Avenue. The Hillsboro version is off TV Highway,
but it’s set back from the road in a parking lot that is
not readily accessible and much less visible. As far as
we know, there have been no protests surrounding
Hillsboro’s Bikini Coffee, given its relatively obscure
location, the fact that it’s far from residential areas,
and is not right next to a public sidewalk and kids going by on their bicycles do not see the employees.
A number of family-minded individuals in Forest
Grove have taken exception to seeing baristas in pasties and panties at the new business, and are asking
the Forest Grove City Council to pull the plug. Those
who object contend the business license was issued
on deceptive grounds, because the business characterizes itself as a “bikini barista” even though at
times the servers have obviously been wearing much
less than bikinis.
Further, a help wanted ad posted on Craigslist specifies “dancing experience would be a plus” in getting
a job serving coffee at Dream Girl. Maybe we’re a bit
naive, but what does dancing have to do with serving
coffee from a kiosk? For that matter, even the name of
the business tells a lot: It’s “Dream Girl,” not “Dream
Coffee.” Indeed, all the signs seem to indicate that
this business is much more about hot bodies than hot
coffee.
A public parking lot visible to people of all ages is
not an appropriate place for adult entertainment, and
it appears that is largely what Dream Girl is selling.
If the Dream Girl baristas are going to continue to
wear pasties and transparent undies in public, the
city of Forest Grove may step in. Better yet, the owners will realize they have gone too far and understand
that not every community is the same. In Forest
Grove, they need to clean up their act, which would
be in the best interests of all concerned.

Mistake to schedule two big events
in Hillsboro in same week
W
hy in the world did the Hillsboro International Air Show
get scheduled for the same weekend as the Washington
Country Fair? Many exhibitors did not come because of this,
including animal exhibitors — a favorite of children — because
of the noise of the air show.
Who made the decision to double-schedule such big events?
The fair always seems to be in the same time block, so it had to
be the air show organizers. Not a smart move.
Also, no matter what, without the Blue Angels, the air show
will never be as good. Try as they may, but it just isn’t the same
as seeing blue and yellow racing across the horizon. Although
it is understandable why they couldn’t get them, due to the “sequester.”

Gain Share is state’s best economic tool
E
arlier this year, the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics reported that
wage growth in Washington
County was ranked first out of
the nation’s most populated counties.
While the report does not speculate as to
why wages grow faster in Washington
County as compared to others, a general
explanation could be that the county has
created an economic environment conducive to capital investment and expansion.
Based off programs passed in the early 1990s, such as the Strategic Investment Program (SIP), Washington County
has experienced substantial economic
growth. However, the SIP program, one if
not Oregon’s only real economic development tool, is based off deferral of local
property taxes. That is often a tough sell
to local taxpayers when the revenues
generated by income taxes benefit the
state.
The Oregon Legislature passed a bipartisan program called Gain Share in
2007. The concept is simple: if a county or
local government loses revenues from
property tax abatements in order to generate new income tax dollars or save existing tax dollars, the gain should be
shared fairly and equitably.
Through these programs, counties
waive millions of dollars in property taxes to attract businesses development and
expansion. The state then disperses the
revenues received from income taxes as
a result of the new jobs created. The program is a proven and effective economic

tool for the state to incentivize counties
to enter SIP agreements.
One of my top priorities while in Salem this year was to preserve and protect the Gain Share program, so businesses continue to stay and expand, creating high quality jobs and, more importantly, jobs within the many smaller
companies that provide services and
supplies to larger firms. This benefits the
entire state.
During the recent legislative session, I
fought to include our local Washington
County schools in the Gain Share program. School districts in Hillsboro, Tigard-Tualatin, and Forest Grove have all
acknowledged that they benefit as a result of the program. School districts have
felt the growth from our efforts to save
and recruit new jobs to the area. This
growth is further evidence that Gain
Share revenues could help local school
districts provide a world class education
for our children.
Some of my colleagues in Salem argue
the Gain Share program should be reformed to reduce or limit county disbursements in exchange for waiving
property taxes. They argue that counties
that take advantage of Gain Share are
vulnerable to an unsustainable source of
money. I adamantly disagree with this
notion. Gain Share, in conjunction with
SIP agreements, is the single best economic policy asset we have to offer to
new or expanding businesses. And, by including schools, we can assist them in addressing overcrowded classrooms as
well.
Rather than narrowing the program, I
believe we should be looking to expand
this type of policy. Protecting and enhancing Gain Share through the Strategic Investment Program is exactly the visionary direction we should take. After
all, don’t we really want to create and retrain existing higher paying jobs? That is
what will really help Oregon and our
children.
I expect the conversation regarding
Gain Share to carry over into future legislative sessions, and it should. We need
to consider ways we can improve upon
the existing program to protect our local
school districts and provide much needed capital security to county and city
governments.
I look forward to continuing my work
with other advocates of the program,
such as Sen. Richard Devlin (D-Tualatin)
and Washington County Chairman Andy
Duyck, to defend and improve upon the
single best economic tool the state has to
offer.

Lightning fires are nature’s warning
T
he recent lightning-caused fires
in southern Oregon and many
other spots in Oregon and
Washington are Mother Nature’s warning to us.
We can’t simply lock up federal forest
land in the Pacific Northwest as the environmentalists have succeeded in doing
by using the Endangered Species Act
and the federal courts as their sledgehammer in forcing their misguided vision of an environmental utopia of uncut
forests and increased old-growth trees.
The combination of smoke and air inversion caused by these big fires in
southern Oregon is choking the residents of this area.
As an asthma sufferer, I’m glad to not
live there anymore. But it’s not just the
health of locals that is being put at risk.
The Oregon Shakespearean Festival had
to close down the outdoor Elizabethan
stage, a major tourist attraction for Oregon.
So when I hear “enviros” bleating
about how the region has transitioned
from a timber to a tourist economy I
laugh my most cynical laugh.
These southern Oregon counties are
on the verge of being bankrupt and needed a state bailout even before these fires
began. More importantly, the timber jobs
destroyed were family wage and union
jobs, not low paying, low skill service
jobs of the tourist industry. It’s one of the
GUEST
COMMENT

reasons poverty in southern Oregon is a
growth industry!
I grew up in Roseburg and worked for
the U.S. Forest Service for three summers in the Umpqua National Forest.
Two of those summers, I camped at a
Forest Service lookout on top of Pig Iron
Mountain, just east of the Toketee Ranger Station, picking off lightning strikes
that were potential fires. In my two
years, most of the strikes — hundreds of
them — set off minor fires of several
acres in size, not like the big ones now.
At that time, Roseburg was the “timber capital” of the United States, because more board-feet of harvested timber from Forest Service land ended up
being cut in the seven mills in my hometown and smaller mills of Douglas County than anywhere else. It was a time
when “clearcutting” was king, and the
industry had full range of movement.
Since the 1990s, we’ve reversed direction to the point where no timber is cut
on federal land owned by the U.S. Forest
Service or Bureau of Land Management.
Congressmen are working on separate
House and Senate bills to open up harvesting of timber on the former O&C
lands in southern Oregon. If they are
successful, this will boost the timber
economy of this part of Oregon to balance the tourist industry.
A larger harvest will cut the fuel
source, which makes these fires so much
bigger than they were back in my day as
a lookout.
Until then, southern Oregon counties
will continue to lose revenue, which
means schools, public safety and other
public services will be cut.
The indirect costs of lost revenue will
be born by school-age kids, their impoverished families as well as those working
in the tourist industry who depend on
folks like you and me.
Do I want to return to the age of
“clearcutting?” No way!
But closing down the forests out of
some puritanical environmental mindset
is stupid public policy and bad economics. There is a middle ground, and I hope
our congressional delegation finds the
“sweet spot” here and gets a dysfunctional Congress to pass a reasonable bill
that can help turn around southern Oregon’s economy.

Hillsboro schools
gain highest
state award for
anti-bullying efforts
By KATHY FULLER
Hillsboro School District
is leading the way among
Oregon schools in policies
and practices to prevent bullying among students.
According to a report published by the Oregon Safe
Schools and Communities Coalition, Hillsboro ranks in the
top third of Oregon’s 197 school
districts with a “gold star,” indicating the district’s policies
on bullying comply with a
tougher Oregon Safe Schools
Act that was amended in 2012.
Hillsboro is one of 67 dis-
tricts statewide that earned a
gold star for its policies being
in compliance with the Oregon
Safe Schools Act, which
strengthened protections for
students who are or are perceived to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered or are
targeted because of their gender identity.
Hillsboro last changed its
anti-bulling policy in October
2012 to comply with state law,
said Casey Waletich, the district’s director of safety and
operations. “We make sure
we’re doing all we can to do the
right thing,” he said.
All elementary schools in
the district utilize the PBIS program — Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports — as
well as a grade-level specific
bullying prevention program
called Steps to Respect.
Waletich said data indicates
bullying is beginning at an ear-
lier age and peaks at grades
7-9, so elementary school antibullying programs become
more and more important.
Additionally, he said, cyberbulling is becoming more prevalent, even among younger students, partly because students
are computer-savvy at a young
age.
“We’ve done quite a bit of
work talking about current
trends,” Waletich said. District
officials this fall will begin
work with the city of Hillsboro’s Youth Advisory Council
to focus more on cyber-bullying prevention. “This is a priority of the superintendent and
the school board.”
The shift in recent years to
online bullying is a tough one
for schools, Waletich said, because much of it happens outside school hours and away
from school buildings.
While Hillsboro ranked in
the top third of districts with
its anti-bullying policies, the
report said one in three school
districts in the state still do not
yet comply with state law.
Beaverton was the only other district in Washington County that was rated with a gold
star.
Forest Grove and Banks both
had “silver stars,” indicating
both districts are compliant
with state law but do not expressly reference gender identity and expression as a protected class.
Gaston was given a bronze
star, along with 28 percent of
school districts in Oregon that
still need to update or modify
anti-bullying policies to comply
with state law.

trict’s budget committee.
Three of the positions are for
three-year terms, and one position will fill a vacant seat for the
remaining two years of the term.
The district’s budget committee meets in the spring to consider the district budget for the
following school year.
Members must live within
Hillsboro School District boundaries. The deadline to submit an
application is Sept. 6.
Applications are available on
the district’s website, hsd.k12.

at 503-844-1500.
The budget committee consists of the seven school board
members and seven volunteer
citizens.
Information about the
Hillsboro School District’s
$25 million general obligation bond set to appear on
November’s ballot is now
available on the district
website.
In June, school board members unanimously agreed that
a $25 million bond should be
put before voters which, if approved, will fund $17 million
for instructional technology
for students and staff; $4 million for safety enhancements
at schools, including security
cameras and improved lines of
sight; and $4 million for facility
maintenance, including new
roofs and seismic upgrades at
several school facilities.

crash,” he said.
Planes used to have a ribbon
trailing behind them that others would try to cut, but this
year they will attempt to hit
each other out of the sky (with
less expensive planes).
“This is full contact,” said
Noel. “The last man flying
wins.”
In addition to combat, the
show will feature numerous
small-scale models of real aircraft, including several replicas of World War II planes. Acrobatic planes will dive, spin
and do tricks.
“We can do more stunts than
regular planes because we
don’t have a pilot in there that
would pass out from the tricks
we do,” said Noel.
There are also the “crowd
pleasers,” such as helicopters,
Noel said. And miniature floatplanes will take off and land in
the pond.
In addition to aircraft, the
show features scaled-down
boats, which motor around the
pond. And one club member
sets up a scene from a German
war zone, with model tanks
driving around on it.
The show is held on the Oregon Miniature Aircraft Squadron Flying Field at Lewis Farm
on Northwest Strohmayer
Road in Forest Grove, which
includes a 35-foot by 450-foot
paved runway, a six-acre lake, a
clubhouse and a boat launch. A
picnic area allows spectators to
enjoy lunch with the show.
Another addition to the
two-day event is a food drive
for the Oregon Food Bank. Attendees are encouraged to
bring healthy, nonperishable

Jaws dropped as two aircraft smashed into each other above a small pond north
of Forest Grove. Moments
later a helicopter, too,
crashed into the pond and
sank to the bottom.
It was an air traffic controller’s nightmare.
The smashups occurred last
year at the annual Radio-Controlled Modelers Air Show, now
in its 32nd year, and Dave Noel
laughed at the memory.
“A mid-air collision between
a glider and a plane happened
right over the pond. It was a
spectacle,” Noel said.
Noel is the public relations
director for Oregon Miniature
Aircraft Squadron, a hobby club
with more than 50 members,
ages 14 to 80. Most are local.
While that crash was an accident, this year, for the first
time, the air show is adding an
aerial combat segment, where
planes will crash into each other on purpose.
Past collisions have ruined
model airplanes worth hundreds of dollars, Noel said.

Complaint: Starr faces
re-election in 2014
■ From page A1
Starr admits sending the letter to people who contacted
him though his legislative
email account, but denies violating the law. He said the
names and addresses are public record, like every contact
made to his office.
“The complaint is politics,
pure and simple. It has nothing
to do with anything but politics,” said Starr, who represents Senate District 15 and is
up for re-election in 2014.
Erickson said he has been active in the Washington County
Democratic Party since moving
to Hillsboro eight years ago. He
is a Democratic precinct committee officer and regularly attends monthly meetings of the
Democratic Party of Washington County. Erickson said he
has also worked on the cam-
paigns of numerous Democratic candidates, including the
campaigns of Ben Unger and
Joe Gallegos, who were elected
to the Oregon House of Representatives last year.
Erickson also said he consulted with the Senate Democratic Leadership Fund before
filing the complaint. The fund,
which works to elect Democrats to the Oregon Senate, announced the complaint in a
press release on Aug. 1.
But Erickson said he did not
file the complaint for partisan
purposes.
“I’m a pretty ethical guy.
When people play fast and
loose with the public’s money,
that bothers me,” said Erickson.
Starr is a self-employed public affairs. He has served in the
Oregon Legislature since 1999,
when he was elected to the Oregon House from Hillsboro. He
was elected to the State Senate
in 2002 and is currently vicechair of the Senate Business &
Transportation Committee and
sits on the Senate Rules Committee.
According to Erickson’s complaint, the day after the 2013
Oregon Legislature ended,
Starr emailed a fundraising letter to people who agreed with
his position in opposition to
gun control.

County and the Port of Portland.
Wyden pointed out that the county is
home to companies, including Intel,
that rely on being able to ship their
products around the world. He asked
members of the Washington and
Clackamas county commissions in attendance to stand, noting that they
are working to raise more revenue for
road projects. Both commissions are
currently discussing imposing a motor vehicle registration fee of up to $34
a vehicle for such work.
“Sherwood used to be a little hamlet and Highway 217 used to be a surface street. A lot has changed since
then,” said Wyden, who promised to
look for new sources of federal trans-
portation funds, including incentives
for private investments.
In response to a question from the
audience, Wyden also talked about
the national issue he is most closely
identified with these days: the sweeping domestic surveillance programs
run by the National Security Agency.
As a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, Wyden has been
a longtime critic of such programs,
although he has been prohibited
from discussing them in detail. But
now that former NSA consultant Edward Snowden has revealed them,
pressure is building on Congress to
restrict them.
Wyden predicted that Congress
will soon act to scale back the programs to the original intent of the
Patriot Act that authorized them. He

Apartments: Construction rate goes in cycles
■ From page A1
“There are twice as many
units under construction as
there are units that have recently been completed. In addition, there are almost three
times as many units proposed
as recently completed,” said
Barry.
But Barry believes there’s no
reason to worry the market is
getting over-saturated. Despite
the flurry of activity, apartment
construction in the region is actually below historic levels. In
fact, much of it is simply compensating for the lack of activity during the Great Recession.
And demand will continue to
grow, Barry said, noting the
population of the region is predicted to grow by 25,000 to
30,000 people a year for the
foreseeable future.
“Apartment construction
came to a virtual halt a few
years ago. The construction
that’s under way now is just beginning to address the demand
that has built up since then,”
said Barry.
According to Barry, the lack
of new construction allowed vacancy rates to fall to the point
where rents could be raised
high enough to finance the new
projects. There are around
265,000 multi-family units in
the region. The vacancy rate is
currently 3.6 percent, Barry
said, compared to 5 percent in a
balanced market.
That equates to a shortage of
3,750 units — enough to convince lenders it is time to invest.
“Financing is available again
and developers are getting
back into the market,” said
Barry.
Barry tracks apartment construction in the region closely
and publishes his findings every quarter in the online “Barry Apartment Report.” The
most recent one, dated for
spring 2013, lists 51 apartment
buildings either under construction or recently completed
in the region.
Despite the activity in Hillsboro, most of those projects —
36 — are in Portland. To a certain extent, the Portland numbers are a little misleading,
however. Many of those projects have far fewer units than
the largest ones in the region,
which are located in suburban
Clark and Washington counties.
For example, The Reserve in
Vancouver has 418 units. The
Terrene at the Grove in Wilsonville has 288 units. And The
Jones — another Hillsboro
project near Orenco — has 193
units. In contrast, many of the
apartment buildings under
construction in Portland have
less than 50 units. One, The
Sherm, at 1101 S.E. Sherman
St., has just 12.
But the sheer number of

FILE PHOTO
projects in Portland means that
most apartment units are, in
fact, being built in the city.
More than half the permits issued last year — 1,739 — were
for projects in Portland.
Barry said that should be no
surprise. U.S. Census data
shows that young people are
flocking to cities. They are
overwhelmingly drawn to
apartments instead of houses,
which cost more to rent and operate.
“For a long time, many more
apartments were being built in
Washington and Clackamas
counties. Now it’s Multnomah
County, and specifically Portland,” said Barry.
But the market is still hot in
Hillsboro because of the large
number of new jobs being created by big employers such as
Intel. Its recent expansion projects have created a base of
long-term construction jobs in
the city, and the promise of sup-
port and spinoff jobs when finished.
Barry expects apartment
construction to continue increasing in coming years, especially in Portland. But even
then, it could take a long time
to match or exceed historic
highs.
Figures compiled by Barry
show that apartment construction goes in cycles related to
the economy, with highs in
good times followed by lows
during bad times. Previous
high numbers of apartment
permits include 6,806 in 1990,
6,652 in 1995, and 5,266 in 2003.
Lows include 2,539 in 1992, 2,724
in 2003, and 1,007 in 2009. The
3,333 issued in 2012 is just about
average for the last 10 years.
“I expect it to go higher in
the future, but there’s still a
long way it could go if the
economy and housing market
continues recovering,” Barry
said.
Protesters want to
put brakes on area’s
new transit projects
Measure would
require voter
approval before
light rail, bus routes
can proceed
By GEOFF PURSINGER
Pamplin Media Group
408554.121812
Tigard residents may be
asked to approve a ballot
measure next March to require a public vote on the
transit elements of the
Southwest Corridor Plan.
The plan’s steering committee approved studying both a
light rail and bus rapid transit
line from Portland to Tualatin
last week. The new line would
be in addition to improved pedestrian and bicycle connections called for in the plan between Portland and Sherwood.
Washington County is participating in the process,
which is being overseen by
Metro, the elected regional
government in change of
transportation planning. But
activists in Tigard are already
going door-to-door gathering
signatures for a potential ballot measure that could stop
both light rail and bus rapid
transit from coming to town
without public approval.
If the group can gather 4,122
valid signatures of Tigard voters by late September, the
measure could appear on special election ballots in March.
Total costs for a light rail
line from Portland to Tualatin
is currently estimated at $2.4
billion. Bus rapid transit —
which includes dedicated
lanes for buses for at least a
portion of the line — would be
50 to 80 percent of that cost,
depending on its route.
“I’ve got a lot of questions
about the economics of the
project,” said Art Crino, a retired Tigard engineer and cochief petitioner. “I’ve lived in
Tigard since 1966, and think
people have a right to vote on
something like this.”
Crino and
the other
activists
are counting on the
support of
Tigard residents such
as Andy
Bergman,
who lives
near Hall
Boulevard.
“I am
against any
kind of
high-capacity transit
coming
— Andy Bergman,
down Hall
Tigard resident
Boulevard
into a community that
is already
well established,” he said.
“They don’t want it. They
don’t need it.”
It’s the second try for proponents of the measure. A similar attempt in 2012 fell just 46
voters shy of making it onto
the ballot. That measure
would have stopped any money being spent on light rail
without voter approval.
“I am against
any kind of
high-capacity
transit
coming down
Hall
Boulevard
into a
community
that is
already well
established.”
In its place, the city put
forth its own referendum,
which passed overwhelmingly,
saying it would not increase
taxes and fees to pay for light
rail without a vote of the people.
This time, activists are
broadening their scope. If approved, the proposed ballot
measure would require that
voters see a total cost of building either light rail or bus rapid transit, the exact amount of
road capacity taken away by
the transit corridor within five
miles of Tigard, and what increase in housing density is
expected before they vote.
Proponents of the measure
claim they aren’t anti-transit,
but want to make sure voters
get to decide for themselves
what taxpayer money is spent
on.
Those behind the petition
drive have the support of some
of the activists who have been
attempting to prevent the
Portland to Milwaukie light
rail line from being extended
into Clackamas County. They
have not been able to stop the
project so far.

TRIMET PUNCHES TICKET TO FUTURE
Foes say price tag
for electronic fare
system is too high
By JIM REDDEN
TriMet riders will have
more options for paying their
fares in their future. They
still will be able to pay cash
on buses and at light-rail
vending machines, but they
also will be able to pay with
apps on their smartphones,
TriMet-issued smartcards,
and bank cards with embedded chips.
“We’re always looking for
ways to improve the transit experience, and I know that simple conveniences like mobile
ticketing make a big difference
for our riders,” said TriMet
General Manager Neil McFarlane.
At least that’s the concept approved by the TriMet Board of
Directors in October 2012.
Called the Electronic Fare Project, its goal is to use the latest
consumer technology to make
purchasing and using passes
more convenient. The board is
expected to approve soliciting
bids for the project — which is
estimated to cost as much as
$30 million — this August or
September.
But the union representing
most TriMet employees has
blasted the plan. In an open letter on July 25, Amalgamated
Transit Union Local 757 questioned whether the agency
could afford it, noting that ridership has dropped because of
fare increases and service cuts.
The union also said the plan’s
costs already are out of control,
saying the estimate has grown
from $13 million to $20 million
to $30 million over time.
“Sure, some passengers
might enjoy using the latest
technology, but does this new
fare collection system really
make fiscal sense, particularly
when it appears management is
having a tough time determining what the final cost of the
project will be?” questioned
ATU 757 President Bruce Hansen.
TriMet said the cost estimates have been updated as
more research has been conducted. The upfront costs will
be financed with general fund
revenues, including fares and

payroll taxes. TriMet said the
project eventually will pay for
itself by reducing fare evasions
and the cost of handling all the
cash the agency now receives.
A pilot project to evaluate the
new components will begin
when the Portland-Milwaukie
light rail line opens in September 2015. The entire system is
scheduled to be implemented by
2018.

Washington County residents believe maintaining
the existing road system
should be the county’s top
priority, according to two recent surveys.
Residents also appear open
to a county motor vehicle registration fee to help pay the
maintenance costs, an idea being considered by the Washington County Commission, the
surveys found.
State law allows the commission to impose a fee of up to $43
per vehicle every two years
with or without a vote of the
people. Forty percent of the
funds must be shared with cities in the county. The commission could make a decision by
September.
The surveys were conducted
via a scientific poll by DHM Research and a non-scientific
web-based poll conducted
through the county’s Westside
Voices website.
In the DHM telephone survey of 400 randomly selected
residents, when asked to pick
their top transportation priori-

Such cards also would allow
low-income riders to received
discounts that are now beyond
their reach. For example, a $100
monthly pass allows unlimited
rides and transfers for a full
month. But many low-income
riders don’t have that much
money to spare. They can easily
spend more than $100 a month
by riding every day, however. A
smartcard could track their
spending and allow them to ride
free once they spend $100 within a month.
And, TriMet officials noted,
customers would still be allowed to use cash if they prefer.
ty, 65 percent of respondents
gave the highest rating to the
statement, “Maintain existing
roads and highways.”
In the Westside Voices survey, 79 percent of respondents
chose “Maintain existing roads
and highways” as their top priority. Many respondents also
said they would support a motor vehicle registration fee to
help pay maintenance costs,
although some said taxes were
already too high.

Meyer and Safeway stores. Riders also can buy them at the TriMet ticket office at Pioneer
Courthouse Square in downtown Portland, and employers
can buy passes for their workers.
But, TriMet officials contend,
much of the retail world is moving away from cash purchases.
Instead, more and more people
are using pre-paid and rechargeable cards to buy things.
And apps are being developed
that allow smartphones to be
used like cards. The phones are
tapped on special readers instead of being swiped like a
bank or gift card. And, in fact,
cards with embedded chips are
now designed to be tapped, too.
TriMet officials said such
technologies offer benefits for
riders. Instead of having to buy
passes every day, week or
month, riders could buy their
own TriMet-issued reloadable
tap card. Such a card would protect riders who lose them. Now,
if a paper pass is lost, all of the
remaining value is lost, too. But
riders who lose their cards
could notify TriMet and the balance would be transferred to a
new card.

Multnomah County has a

percent of Multnomah County
riders live in households that
make less than $40,000 a year,

Washington County and 22 percent in Clackamas County. TriMet says its recently created
14-member Transit Equity and
Access Advisory Committee is
expected to provide feedback on
how low-income riders can take
advantage of the new payment
options.

TriMet officials believe they
should have moved in this direction a long time ago. Many other
transit agencies in the country
already allow customers to pay
fares with smartcards, including those in Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C., and transit agencies in
Asia and Europe have been using them for years.
The TriMet board wants to
leapfrog over the current technologies, however, and design a
system with more options. To
accomplish this, the board already has entered into a fiveyear, $2.4 million contract with
CH2M Hill consulting firm to
develop bid requirements for
what could be the most advanced system of its kind and
implement it.
But is the average rider ready
and willing to embrace these
options? TriMet officials believe
the answer is yes. They point to
the results of a 2010 demographic survey that shows TriMet riders tend to be younger, better
educated, and earn more money
than either the general population or non-riders. These are
the kinds of people most likely
to use the additional options,
TriMet claims.
And, according to the survey,
84 percent of riders said they
choose to take TriMet. A full 80
percent said they ride TriMet,
even though they have a car.
Only 16 percent said they are
dependent on TriMet because
they have no car or cannot
drive.
McFarlane said TriMet must
keep giving riders reasons to

Erin Greene, Krissy
Rowan leave their
positions in
July, August
By NANCY TOWNSLEY and
DOUG BURKHARDT
Two key positions in Hillsboro — one at the Washington County Museum and
the other at the Hillsboro
Farmers’ Market — have
been vacated in the last two
weeks.
Krissy Rowan, director of
communications for the museum, worked her last day
Tuesday, according to an
email she sent to the Hillsboro
Tribune that afternoon.
“Thank you for all the ink
you have given to the museum
in the past year,” Rowan wrote.
“We have had great attendance
since we opened on Nov. 17,
2012, here in Hillsboro.”
Marcia Hale, director of
guest operations and public
programs, will
fill in for Rowan while museum officials
sort out their
next move.
“We’re taking a step
back and evalROWAN
uating
things,” said
Hale, who added Rowan had
worked for the museum for a
little over a year. “More than
likely, we’ll eventually fill the
position.”
Signage for the museum
went up on the building at 120
E. Main St. Tuesday, representing the completion of a
project Rowan started, Hale
added.
Hale did not say why Rowan
left the museum’s employ —
only that “she has some exciting plans for herself.” Rowan
could not be reached for comment before press time.
In a second departure, Erin
Greene, events coordinator for
the Hillsboro Farmers’ Market, left her job July 24.
An email that day from
Laura Conroy, market manag-
er, said
Greene “is no
longer with
the company”
and that inquiries should
be directed to
Conroy in the
interim.
GREENE
On Wednesday, Conroy
said she could not comment
about why Greene left.
“Per our employment policy,
I can’t comment on that,” she
said.
Conroy also declined to respond when asked whether
someone new would be hired
to fill the events coordinator
position.
In recent months, Greene
wrote a series of articles about
the market for the Hillsboro
Tribune. She could not be
reached for comment before
press time Tuesday.

Olaf is a chatty, friendly middle-aged declawed male
cat who wants to be around people. He is active and
since he is deaf he is VERY sight-oriented and pays attention to everything going on around him. When he
sleeps he is totally zonked out (kindness says to
shake, rattle or roll near him to awaken gently) and
when he is awake he is alert and engaged with the
people around him.
Located in beautiful Oak Hill Settlement, this home has it all! The first floor has a den near the entry and an open
throughout the FR & DR and into the kitchen with a large island. Upstairs the large MB suite features dual vanity
BA and closet. Other features: extra windows & cabinets, masonry, gas f/p, & more!
I’m a shy little gal who’s
looking for love. I’ve spent
some time out on the mean
streets, so I really want
someone to love and care
for me. I know that with just
a little tenderness, I’ll be
your tiny purr machine.
Come visit me soon at Animal
Aid. Please
call
503-292-6628 and ask for
Penelope or visit our
website:

Sassy red-head, not a spring chicken but still plenty
of Vroom Vroom under the

Olaf is best as an only cat (he doesn’t like to share!)
coupled with the fact he puts out vibes to other cats
and cannot hear their replies. He is offered by Cat’s
Cradle Rescue not specifically as “special needs” but
as a special CAT. A donation of $25 - $50 would be
welcomed to help other cats in their mental and physical adjustment to the rescue world. Cat’s Cradle Rescue is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to helping great Oregon
cats find loving Forever homes

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that two public hearings
will be held before the Hillsboro Planning Commission at or
shortly after 6:30 p.m., on Wednesday, August 14, 2013, in
the auditorium of the Hillsboro Civic Center, 150 East Main
Street, Hillsboro. At the hearings, the Planning Commission
will consider proposed text amendments to the Hillsboro
Zoning Ordinance No. 1945, as amended, and the Hillsboro
Comprehensive Plan, Ordinance No. 2793, as amended, to
implement transportation improvements for the South Hillsboro Community Planning Area.
The proposed amendments to the Hillsboro Zoning Ordinance will adopt a new Section 93A: Tualatin Valley Highway
High Capacity Transit and Intersection Upgrades Setbacks
and a new Section 95A: Access Management onto a State
Transportation Facility, as identified in the South Hillsboro
Focus Area Plan.
The proposed amendments to the Hillsboro Comprehensive Plan and Transportation System Plan are to implement
transportation improvements identified for the South Hillsboro Community Plan through the Tualatin Valley Highway
Corridor and South Hillsboro Focus Area Plans. The proposed text and map amendments to the Hillsboro Comprehensive Plan and the City of Hillsboro Transportation System
Plan Update, January 2004 (TSP), would reclassify or create
new alignments for roadways located within the South Hillsboro Community Plan area and make revisions to the TSP’s
project lists for motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians to
add the transportation improvements.
The procedures by which amendments are processed can
be found in the Hillsboro Zoning Ordinance, Sections 112 –
116 and in the Hillsboro Comprehensive Plan, Section 1 (III).
The staff reports on the proposed amendments will be available on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. Staff reports
and associated materials are available for inspection at no cost
or copies can be provided at reasonable cost. Materials can be
reviewed from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays, excluding holidays, at the Hillsboro Planning Department, 150 East Main
Street, 4th Floor, Hillsboro, Oregon 97123. The Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan may also be viewed online at www.ci.hillsboro.or.us/Planning.
All interested persons are invited to attend this meeting
and will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the
proposal. Oral testimony should avoid repetition of issues,
and should be based on the text amendments or the procedures listed above. ORS 197.763 provides that under certain
circumstances, the record may remain open or a continuance
may be granted upon the request of a participant. If you are
unable to attend the hearing, you may submit a written statement to the Planning Department at the address above, on or
before the hearing date. Please reference the Case File No. on
all written testimony. Telephone conversations cannot be accepted as testimony. Pursuant to ORS 197.763, failure to raise
an issue at the final evidentiary hearing, or by close of the
record, in person or by letter, or failure to provide sufficient
specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal to the Land Use Board of
Appeals based on that issue.

SUMMER
CLEARANCE
Hillsboro teen Madison Heldt got her very own “day” for her 16th birthday last Saturday.
PRUDENT
SALE
All Rugs, Furniture & Accessories are
ON SALE
PROCLAMATION
By NANCY TOWNSLEY
M
adison Heldt, a bat
girl for the Hillsboro Hops baseball team, enjoyed
a very special “sweet 16”
birthday last Saturday.
City Council President Aron
Carleson and Mayor Jerry
Willey proclaimed the day,
Aug. 3, “Madison Heldt Day”
in Hillsboro.
The Century High School
junior was all smiles as she
stood behind a banner fes-
tooned with green and blue
balloons.
“Happy 16th Birthday —
Celebrating Madison Heldt
Day,” the sign read.
Before that, she enjoyed a
birthday pedicure with her
mom, aunts and her brother,
Jacob.
Madison, daughter of Karen
and Steve Heldt, has a medical
condition called lipoprotein
lipase deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that disrupts
the normal breakdown of fatty
acids in the body.
It affects one in 1 million
people.
The condition can cause inflammation of the pancreas,
abdominal pain and enlargement of the liver and spleen.
Yellow skin lesions called
eruptive xanthomas are also
common.
Her dad and her younger
brother also have the disorder.
In 2012, Madison spent a
month and a half at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in
Portland around the holidays.
She started a campaign,
“Colors 4 Kiddos,” to collect
coloring books and crayons to
donate to the facility.

Tournament: Consolation games could be eliminated All-Star: Perez-Ramos helps
■ From page A20
from their runner-up finish in
5A, the Falcons scored a sixthplace trophy in 2011. But both
of those trophies were preceded by 0-2 appearances in 2008
and 2009. Besides Liberty’s appearances and the Jaguars’ bid
last year, the only other time a
Hillsboro-area school made the
tournament since the OSAA
expanded to six classifications
was in 2007, when Glencoe
made the Class 5A field and
lost twice in a row.
This is not to suggest that
Hillsboro-area schools have not
been competitive. Just reaching the tournament site is an
accomplishment — placing a
team in the top eight in its classification in a given year — and
many of these teams’ defeats
were narrow. If anything, the
Hillsboro schools’ lack of victories upon reaching the tournament illustrates how challenging it is to advance further for
the vast majority of schools.
And just because a team
does not win at the tournament
does not mean the experience
is unrewarding.
“More than anything ...
knowing if you qualify for the
tournament that you’re guaranteed at least two more games
with your team is always a
great feeling, especially after
usually playing kind of a oneand-done type deal the games
leading up to it,” explained
Scott Kellar, the longtime Century boys basketball coach.
The Hillsboro schools’ recent
tournament track record sheds
light on the difficulties the
OSAA and the championships
committee face. Their charge is
to provide opportunities for
high school athletes, but their
tournaments also must be profitable.
“The OSAA State Championship Committee has the same
challenge that our Executive
Board, Delegate Assembly and
each individual member school
has — trying to provide lifelong memories for our students, knowing that the bills
have to be paid for those experiences and opportunities not
only by the association but by
the member schools,” said Cindy Simmons, OSAA assistant
executive director.
When teams advance to the
state tournament, they incur
costs for travel, hotels, meals
and so on. Both the OSAA and
its member schools shoulder
those costs. Eliminating games
from state tournament schedules — and in the case of volleyball, shrinking the number of
tournament sites — will thereby
reduce expenses. Regarding consolation play, these costs are being incurred with a minimal payoff at the other end.
At least in basketball, as
Simmons pointed out, interest
in the consolation games has
been lacking. The statistics do
seem to bear that out, as recent
tournament consolation games
attendance can fairly be described as minimal.
For example, just more than
400 individuals attended consolation sessions — these are sessions, not just single games —
on the two middle days of this
year’s Class 5A boys and girls
tournament in Eugene. Those
numbers may be on the lower
end, but attendance at many
consolation sessions at the
Class 4A, 5A and 6A levels has
ranged between 400 and 700 individuals since 2010, the first
year that boys and girls played
at the same site for Class 6A
and 5A. Those numbers translate to a lot of empty seats at
the Rose Garden, Matthew
Knight Area and Gill Coliseum,
the big-school tournament
sites.
“After looking at attendance
and the financials and all those
kind of things, really a big piece
of it is attendance,” Simmons
explained. “To support the elimination of the consolation and
the third-place games at bigschool basketball ... and then at
all volleyball, it boils down to attendance and it boils down to
the financial pieces, the impact
of all of that.”
At this point though, nothing
is determined and the committee could well move in other directions over its final five meetings, the next of which is slated
for Sept. 30 in Wilsonville. Public comment is accepted and
can be sent to Simmons at cindys@osaa.org.
“I think it’s important to
keep in mind that we’re very
early on in this process,” Waletich noted last month. “We’ve
gotten very little feedback from
coaches or community.”
Next week: An examination
of recent large-school state
tournament history, possible
influences on attendance and
implications.
spark South squad to victory
■ From page A20
South rally hopes alive. Outfielder Zach Esquerra had also been named to the squad,
but he did participate, being
in the midst of rehabbing an
injured obliques muscle on
his left side.
Perez-Ramos clearly represented the Hops well at the
event, also taking part in the
home run derby. He sent one
shot over the fence in that
contest, won by Tri-City’s Sean Dwyer.
But Perez-Ramos saved his
best for the actual game. A native of Cuba, he started for
the South squad in left field
and went 1-for-3 at the plate.
His first RBI of the night came
on a sacrifice fly to left field,
which sent Salem-Keizer’s
Sam Eberle home to trim the
South team’s deficit to 3-2 in
the second inning.
In the top of the ninth, Perez-Ramos played an even bigger role. His line drive to right
field plated Eberle once again,
drawing the South to within
7-6. During the next at-bat,
when Tyler Hollick of SalemKeizer was at the plate, PerezRamos stole second base. Hollick then hit a sacrifice fly of
his own to tie the game by
scoring Eugene’s Ronnie
Richardson.
Three at-bats later, Hunter
Renfroe stepped up to provide
the heroics. The former Mississippi State outfielder and a
first-round pick by the San
Diego Padres in the 2013 MLB
draft, Renfroe joined the Emeralds in mid-July. He made
good on his all-star status by
sending a two-out line drive to
left field, allowing Perez-Ramos to cross home plate for
the game-winning run.
Gibson and Locante also
also had impressive outings,
pitching unblemished fifth
and seventh innings, respectively. Locante also produced
one of the pitching staff’s nine
strikeouts.
Through Sunday, Perez Ramos was batting a team-best
.324, and his 55 hits, 20 runs
and nine doubles were all
team highs for the Hops.
Hops: Hillsboro is hosting Tri-City and Salem-Keizer for eight-game homestand
ing error on the next at-bat.
After starting his pro debut
in strong fashion earlier this
season, Hops starter Braden
Shipley continued recent struggles on the mound. The North
Medford product yielded seven
hits and six runs in 2 2/3 innings. Austin Platt gave up two
runs on seven hits in 2 1/3 innings, and J.R. Bradley gave up
two hits and a run in the final 1
2/3 innings to take the loss.
The Hops’ offense fell off considerably in the final two games
of the series — 8-2 and 4-0 losses.
The team lost the first of those
games despite outhitting the Canadians 9-7. McCurry led the
way with three hits, including a
double, and a run. Hillsboro also
won the hitting battle the following game but lost the war and
was shut out for the seventh
time this season. Carrasco went
2-for-4 at the plate.
After Sunday’s game, the
Hops enjoyed their longest
stretch of off days — three in a
row — all season thanks to the
league’s all-star break. The festivities were staged in Everett,
Wash., home of the AquaSox,
on Tuesday.
Hillsboro resumed league
play at home against Tri-City
on Thursday (after press deadline). That game kicked off an
eight-game homestand, which
will match the Hops’ longest of
the season.
The series against the Dust
Devils continues through Monday, after which Hillsboro is
slated to square off against Salem-Keizer for three games.
That series will wrap up next
Thursday. First pitch for all of
those contests is at 7:05 p.m. except for on Sunday, which has a
1:35 start time.
Hillsboro will then be on the
road at Spokane and Eugene
from Aug. 16-24.

and-fourth game. Each team
scored once in the first before
Vancouver took the lead with
another run in the fifth.
But Hillsboro responded immediately with two runs in the
sixth and scored what would
prove to be the winning run in
the ninth, as the Canadians
scored on an RBI groundout by
David Harris in the bottom of
the ninth but could rally no
more.
George Roberts went an impressive 3-for-5 in that game to
go along with an RBI and a run.
Ryan Gebhardt added two singles, and Cesar Carrasco, Linton and McCurry added an RBI
apiece.
Ben Eckels picked up the win
on the pitcher’s mound to up
his record to 3-5. He gave up
five hits, two runs and three
walks while striking out three.
Jonathan Pulley and Johnny
Shuttlesworth came on to hold
in relief, while Daniel Gibson
picked up his third save of the
season despite giving up that
run in the ninth.
Kyle Anderson took the loss
for Vancouver with a seven-hit,
three-run performance in six
innings.
After a gallant comeback,
the Hops came out on the
wrong end of a one-run game
the following day in a 9-8 defeat
in 10 innings.
Hillsboro got out to a sluggish start and trailed 6-0 after
three innings. The team cut its
deficit to 6-3 in the sixth before
allowing two more runs in the
bottom half of the stanza to
trail 8-3. Somewhat miraculously, the team forced extra innings with a five-spot fifth, one
of the highest single-inning
productions of the season.
But a two-out single — the
Canadians’ 16th hit of the game
— by Christian Vasquez in the
10th forced the Hops to take the
hard-luck loss.
Linton posted two hits and
scored two runs for the Hops,
while Roberts hit a three-RBI
double and Carrasco added a
two-run double. Roberts’ big hit
cut the score to 8-7, and he also
scored the tying run on a field-

OSAA proposes tourney changes
High school athletic association mulls the possibility of eliminating consolation games at state tournament sites
By amanda miles
I
t’s too early yet to tell, but considerable changes may be coming to the state’s playoff procedures and state tournaments starting in the
near future.
Perhaps most notably, some of those changes would
include the elimination of consolation and third-place
games at large-school basketball and volleyball state
tournaments, which would have some notable implications for area schools.
Currently on summer hiatus, the OSAA redistricting and state championship committees are in the
midst of their months-long processes to make adjustments to classifications and state playoff procedures
for the four-year time block that will begin in the fall
of 2014. The state championship committee is made
up primarily of athletic directors, coaches and other
administrators from schools and school districts
throughout the state. Casey Waletich, the Hillsboro
School District’s director of safety and operations, is
a Class 4A/5A/6A at-large member and the chair of
the committee.
Among other tasks, the OSAA has asked that the
committee examine whether changes should be made
to the basketball and volleyball tournaments for the
upcoming four-year block.
The committee met for the third of eight sessions
back on June 3 and an update was released on the
OSAA website on June 10. Though much can still
change by the time the committee meets for the final
time in January and then offers its final recommendation to the OSAA, it has already at least been moving
in a particular direction when it comes to the basketball and volleyball tournaments.
As of that June meeting, the committee’s consensus
was to support eliminating consolation and third-place
games in basketball at the Class 6A, 5A and 4A levels.
The committee also favored gender-specific sites for
Class 6A and 5A basketball — which would revert
back to large-school tournament formats that ended
with the 2009 season. Additionally, the committee supported eliminating consolation and third-place games
across all levels of volleyball and staging state tournaments with three classifications each at two different
sites rather than two classifications each at three different venues, as is the current format.
These changes might exert fairly negligible impacts
on powerhouse programs in basketball and volleyball,
such as Central Catholic, Jesuit and West Linn, which
often advance deep into state tournaments and frequently win championships in these sports. But if the
recent past is an indicator, the switches would greatly
impact the experiences of schools like those in Hillsboro that advance squads to the eight-team state tournament fields far less often.
“We’re one of those schools that doesn’t make it
very often, and so one-and-done doesn’t really do
much for us,” Glencoe athletic director Scott Ellis said.
For example, if the posited new tournament format
had been in place last school year, the Century volleyball squad would have been one-and-done in its Class
6A state tournament appearance. The same goes for
the Glencoe girls basketball team that advanced to the
Rose Garden in 2012. For these and other Hillsboro-area volleyball and basketball programs, in more recent
tournament history, going deep has been the exception
rather than the norm.
In 2010, Liberty’s volleyball team made the Class 5A
final on its home court, falling in a five-set thriller to
league rival Sherwood. Century played its way into the
Class 5A boys basketball championship back in 2009,
becoming the first Hillsboro program — boys or girls
— to make it that far since Hilhi finished as the 2003
4A runner-up in the old four-classification system.
More recently — and more often than not — Hillsboro schools have gone two-and-out or at least lost in
the quarterfinals before winning a consolation game.
In fact, the year before their championship final run,
the Jaguars boys lost both of their state tournament
games. Glencoe’s boys hoops team last made the state
tournament, in Class 5A, in 2010, also dropping two in
a row. Hilhi’s boys and girls basketball squads most recently qualified for the tournament in 2007 and 2009,
both at the 5A level. Both Spartans teams went winless, as did Glencoe’s girls in 2007.
State tournament success for Hillsboro schools in
volleyball has been just as fleeting. A year removed

sense of déjà vu for Hops going into all-star break
Hillsboro wins the first two games of a series
against Vancouver, then drops three in a row
By amanda miles
Last week was a bit of déjà
vu for the Hillsboro Hops.
Hillsboro kicked off its fivegame stretch at Vancouver with
consecutive victories against
the Canadians last Wednesday
and Thursday. The Hops had
done the exact same thing to
start a five-game home stint
against Everett on July 26-27 in
their previous series.
Unfortunately, history repeated itself with losses, too, as the
Hops dropped their final three
games against the Canadians,
just as they had against the
AquaSox earlier in the week.
The three-game skid dropped
Hillsboro’s record to 6-7 for the
Northwest League second-half
standings and 17-34 overall
heading into the league all-star
break that began Monday and
continued through Wednesday
(see sidebar).
The Hops were tied with Boise, trailing both Eugene and
Salem-Keizer by a game in the
league’s South Division heading
into the resumption of play on
Thursday.
Hillsboro got its only road
trip this season to British Columbia off to a fine start last
Wednesday with a 7-1 victory.
The Hops spotted the Canadians a run in the bottom of the
first but got hot midway through
the game, scoring a total of six
runs in the third through fifth
innings. They added the final
tally in the eighth and outhit
Vancouver 8-5.
Tyler Linton, who rejoined
the team last week after a stint
with Missoula, quickly gave notice of his return by batting
2-for-4 with an RBI. Fellow outfielder Jordan Parr recorded a
hit, two runs and a walk, while
Yosbel Gutierrez and Randy McCurry scored one run apiece.
The Hops were also the beneficiaries of four Vancouver errors.
Hillsboro tied the game in the
third, when Gutierrez’s sacrifice fly brought in McCurry, who
had drawn a walk earlier in the
inning. McCurry continued to
do his part for the team in the
next inning, scoring Parr on an
RBI single after Linton’s RBI
line-drive to right field plated
Elvin Soto. The Hops built an
insurmountable lead with a
three-run fifth, when Vancouver
recorded three of its errors, all
on throws.
Aaron Blair picked up his
first decision of the season after
scattering three hits and a run
