Utility rates going up in July
By KARA HANSEN MURPHEY
The Review
The typical Lake Oswego resident will
see utility fees increase by about $8 per
month starting in July.
The Lake Oswego City Council on Tuesday
approved rate increases for water,
wastewater, stormwater and street maintenance
services.
Because the city bills utility customers on
a bimonthly basis, the typical residential
user will actually see bills grow by about $16.
That figure stems from a 12.5 percent increase
for water, a 3 percent increase for
sewer, 7 percent rise for stormwater and 2.5
percent increase for streets.
Driving the biggest increase are efforts to
upgrade and expand the city’s drinking water
system. In terms of water, rate changes
will vary depending on whether you’re a
resident or business and, if you’re a resident,
whether you live in a house or multifamily
housing, and how much water you use.
Lake Oswego uses tiered water rates to
encourage conservation. A report presented
to the council noted that, last summer, the
city government was flooded with complaints
when the dry season pushed some
customers into a different tier, leading to
sticker shock.
Only one citizen testified about the rate
increases at this week’s meeting, which continued
a discussion that began at a March 19
study session.
Jim Bolland said he opposed moving
ahead with water rate increases “at this
time” because the city is still engaged in a
legal fight to defend tapping its full water
rights on the Clackamas River, a move necessary
for Lake Oswego to share water with
Tigard. That case could eventually climb
from the Oregon Court of Appeals to the
state Supreme Court, Bolland said.
“No one ... can predict for you the outcome
of the WaterWatch suit,” he said, referring
to the group challenging Lake Oswego’s water
rights. Bolland said the city shouldn’t
award $250 million in project contracts when
the lawsuit is still making its way through
the legal process.
The Lake Oswego-Tigard Water Partnership
will rebuild and expand the drinking
water system to upgrade Lake Oswego’s infrastructure
and to provide water to Tigard.
The $250 million effort involves projects in
multiple cities, including a bigger water
plant and pipeline in West Linn, a new water
intake facility on the Clackamas River in
Gladstone, a new reservoir in Lake Oswego
and a new pump station in Tigard. Construction
is now moving forward.
The council voted 6-1 in favor of the utility
rate increases.
Councilor Karen Bowerman, the sole opponent,
said she’s concerned assumptions
related to bonds will put the city in “a very
fragile position,” possibly with insufficient
revenues to cover project costs, and that
both cost and savings estimates seem to be
volatile.

here (and) it should be made accurate before

Proposed plan change sparks debate
By KARA HANSEN MURPHEY
The Review
The city council is poised to change which topics
are addressed in the updated version of the city’s
comprehensive plan, which has been undergoing a
required periodic review over the past few years.
During a study session Tuesday, Council President Mike
Kehoe made a motion to remove goals and policies on topics
not directly related to land use and to instead draft a report
that addresses those subjects — such as arts and culture
and schools — in a different way.
The city is at least two years into the roughly three-year
process to update the comp plan, a blueprint that guides
where and how the city grows and develops in the next two
decades. The city recently landed a national planning
award for its public outreach efforts in working on the plan,
including more than 75 outreach events and involving more
than 2,500 community members.

The Review
Lake Oswego police arrested a
woman wanted in Oregon and
Washington after she allegedly
escaped authorities by jumping
from a second-story window and
impersonated a man while on the
run.
Shannon Hamilton, 26, a transient,
was taken into custody Saturday
morning at the Motel 6 in Tualatin,
Lake Oswego Police Capt. Dale Jorgensen
said.
Jorgensen said the case provides
an example of police work at its best.
“It was a great case of officers
knowing what to look for, being vigilant
in finding it and going the extra
mile,” he said.
According to Jorgensen,
Lake Oswego
police had received
bulletins
from Washington
state authorities
that included a key
piece of information:
Hamilton had

Soon after, an off-duty Lake Oswego
officer thought he spotted her in a
local market. But by the time someone
responded to his call, she had left
the store.
Then, police received additional
information about a car Hamilton
might be connected to. An officer

■ Schools, public art, lifestyle cited as big reasons for rise to top of real estate rankings
at a recent town hall meeting. An even more interesting
fact is that 20 to 25 percent of the homebuyers
are from out of the country.
“That is huge,” said Munsey, herself a resident
of Lake Oswego.
The rise of Lake Oswego and West Linn to the
top seems to be the combination of two factors.
One is that the Portland home sale market is remarkably
tight. Second, Lake Oswego and West
Linn offer outstanding schools and excellent lifestyle
amenities. Besides, both are close to Portland.
Munsey noted that when potential homebuyers
study Lake Oswego they find an awful lot to like.
Even when they read the police log in the Lake
Oswego Review they find that the list of crimes to
be heavy on barking dogs and light on serious
crimes. The number one attraction, though, is the
high quality of education.

found it at the Motel 6 and, in the
very early morning hours of Saturday,
confirmed Hamilton was
checked in there. Police waited until
daylight and knocked on the door,
which someone else answered.
“We asked ‘where is she,’ and they
said she’s in the bathroom,” Jorgensen
said. “She had locked herself in there.
We told her to come out and she did.”
Jorgensen said Hamilton was arrested
without incident and faces no
local charges. One or two additional
people were in the motel room but
were not arrested, he said. Officers
from Lake Oswego and Tualatin made
the arrest. Lake Oswego police brought
a K-9 unit but didn’t release the dog.
Jorgensen said police did a good
job of making all of the right connections
“and being tenacious enough to
stick with it.”
According to the show “Washington’s
Most Wanted,” Hamilton was
wanted for skipping out on court,
where she faced charges related to a
stolen car, and for allegedly lying
about her identity to police. According
to the show, King County detectives
at one point tracked her to a
Lakewood, Wash., apartment but she
jumped out of a window and escaped.
After her arrest, she was lodged at
Clackamas County Jail.
Clackamas County Lt. Adam Phillips
said Hamilton was no longer in
county facilities as of Tuesday. She
was wanted on warrants out of
Washington and Clatsop County in
Oregon.
Lake Oswego School District
Foundation says Sharing Spree
hasn’t donated in months
By JILLIAN DALEY
The Review
Local business owners are saying the Portland
branch of the Groupon-esque Sharing
Spree LLC owes them thousands of dollars
for failing to honor discount deals.
The Florida-based company has the standard
social buying website format
with shoppers signing up for
daily emails announcing discounts
on products or services
available for purchase.
Sharing Spree then divides
the profits for the coupon
sales with the business that
offered the discount — but
area business owners say
Portland Sharing Spree
didn’t do that.
Sharing Spree’s website
claims it donates a portion of
proceeds to local charities
and nonprofit groups, such as
Lake Oswego School District
Foundation, transforming a
shopping spree into a “sharing
spree.”
Foundation Executive Director
Mary Puskas said her
organization received several
hundred dollars from
Sharing Spree last school
year but has gotten nothing
in several months. Sharing

Spree still lists the foundation as one of its partners
on its website. The foundation’s website no
longer names Sharing Spree as a partner.
“We simply just stopped working with them as
soon as we got wind of the fact that they weren’t
paying businesses,” Puskas said.
The state attorney general’s office has received
three formal, written complaints against
Sharing Spree from area businesses. One complaint
states Sharing Spree Chief Executive Officer
Ron Sapp indicated in an email that Sharing
Spree had been purchased.
The region’s Better Business Bureau has documented
five complaints against the company,
four of which originated in the Portland area.
The BBB gives Sharing Spree an “F” rating on its
website for failing to respond to two of the complaints.
Some businesses are seeking legal action.
“The majority of complaints of Sharing Spree
are coming from the Portland area, so that’s an
indication that something is going on in this particular
market,” said Kyle Kavas, a BBB spokeswoman.
Sapp did not answer the phone for a scheduled
phone interview with the Review on Monday.

Board candidate
wants change
Karen Delaney challenging
John Wendland
(Editor’s note: When the Review did short profiles
on Lake Oswego School Board candidates
earlier in the election cycle, Karen Delaney had
not yet announced she was running for Position
3 on the board. The following is a profile on her.)
By JILLIAN DALEY
The Review
Summing up Karen Delaney as a mother
and homemaker or a Cornell Law School
graduate and former New York City Campaign
Finance Board attorney wouldn’t cover
the dynamic community leader.
What may come closer is saying Delaney is a
go-getter who wants change. When she heard
John Wendland’s position on the Lake Oswego
School District board was up, she decided to
challenge him because she disagrees with many
of the board’s recent decisions. Wendland’s seat
is one of two contested school board positions
on the May ballot. A third open spot remains
uncontested. Voters weigh in on all three positions.
A member of the district’s consolidation committee
in 2011, Delaney decried the majority’s

we vote on the rates,” she said.
The city council usually considers
utility rate increases
along with other fees near the
end of the calendar year, but in
December 2012 officials punted
the issue ahead to 2013. That
gave council members who took
their seats in January a chance
to weigh in.
Councilor Jeff Gudman said
he’d like to ensure the council
goes back to its usual schedule
of considering rate increases in
late fall or early winter.
He also said he’d like to consider
providing some utility rate
relief for citizens but could wait
to have that discussion until budget
committee meetings later
this spring.
Among other business Tuesday,
the council:
n Proclaimed April 27 as WaterAfrica
Day. The annual event
raises awareness and helps to
provide safe, clean water, sanitation
and hygiene in Zambia.
n Proclaimed Sunday through
April 13 as Arbor Week. Arbor
Day began in Nebraska in the
1870s and was first observed
with the planting of a million
trees in that state, according to
the council’s proclamation.
Among the many benefits of
trees, they provide a renewable
resource, reduce erosion, lower
homes’ heating and cooling
costs, clean the air and provide
habitat for wildlife. They also increase
property values and
beautify the community, according
to the city. Lake Oswego has
been recognized with a Tree
final recommendation to the
school board concerning closing
Bryant, Palisades and Uplands
elementary schools. She
agreed with the effort to address
a budget shortfall but
said the three schools were chosen
based on how many students
attend a school rather
delaney than how many students live in
an area where a school is.
“That skewed the data,” Delaney said in a recent
interview.
Delaney, who has a bachelor’s degree in economics
from Wellesley College, said she could
find better ways of addressing the school district’s
mounting budget woes. She said the
school board should be negotiating employee
contracts differently and said there should be
more oversight of capital projects.
Delaney came to town in 2004 when her husband’s
job was relocated from Santa Clara, Calif.
to Hillsboro. They settled in Lake Oswego because
the city is in the best public school district
in Oregon, she said. She has served on the
school advisory committees at Westridge Elementary
and Lakeridge High schools, where her
children attend.
“Like other parents, I’m concerned that the
district is heading in the wrong direction,” said
Delaney, 49.

Lake Oswego Review, Lake Oswego, OR April 4, 2013
Suspect in home invasion
robbery arraigned
By KARA HANSEN MURPHEY
The Review
David Ray Taylor, one member
of the trio accused of violently
robbing a Lake Oswego
man at gunpoint last year, was
set to be arraigned in Clackamas
County Circuit Court on
Wednesday.
Taylor, 57, of Eugene, along with
25-year-old Spensir Lee Mourey of
Portland and Milwaukie resident
Toni Jean Baker, 34 when she was
arrested, face charges related to
the April 6 robbery of a home on
Indian Creek Way, in the Bryant
neighborhood.
Mourey and Taylor are accused
of shouldering their way into the
house, firing a gunshot into a wall
and slamming resident George von
Bothmer in the face with the butt of
a handgun. Von Bothmer’s daughter
and her boyfriend were also at
home at the time of the robbery but
weren’t harmed. Von Bothmer was
treated at a hospital for injuries he
suffered during the holdup.
Taylor was transported to Clackamas
County from Lane County,
where he faces murder charges in
a separate case. He was incarcerated
for almost three decades for
the murder of a Eugene gas station
attendant in the 1970s. He’s now also
accused in the slaying death of a
22-year-old man who disappeared
Aug. 3, months after the home-invasion
robbery in Lake Oswego.
Baker and Mourey’s trials have
been pushed back a couple of
times, most recently after
Mourey’s attorney filed a motion
on his behalf that said more time
was needed while he cooperated
with the FBI in Eugene.
Prosecutor Bryan Brock of the
Clackamas County District’s Attorney’s
Office said all three suspects
are now scheduled for trial in May.
A February article in The Register-Guard
newspaper noted that
court documents indicate Eugene
police focused on Taylor after a
detective spoke with Lake Oswego
police on Aug. 7 about the robbery
of von Bothmer. Baker reportedly
told investigators she had been a
getaway driver for Taylor after a
June bank robbery in Creswell.
Taylor’s arraignment was scheduled
for 1:30 p.m., after the Review’s
deadline. Check the website,
lakeoswegoreview.com, or
next week’s edition for details.

ciation leaders have expressed concern
about the “content of the updated
plan,” and the council is scheduled
this year to review final drafts of plan
sections advanced by a citizen advisory
committee, the planning commission
and previous city council.
Ron Bunch, acting planning and
building services director, said some
community members and groups remain
particularly concerned with policies
related to density and mixed uses
that could have an impact on the character
of existing residential neighborhoods.
He said the council is likely interested
in whether the plan represents
“a good tool by which council can provide
direction, make policy, weigh and
balance decisions against policies that
are in the plan.”
“Is it a tool you can use to effectively
govern” he asked.
Kehoe said his proposal was not
“a rejection of three years of work”
but would help the council wrap up
the project and address some community
members’ lingering concerns.
“I think objectives have been raised
503-722-7267
COLLIERARBOR.COM
over the last couple of years ... in particular
regarding density,” he said. “I
think that’s because people like the
community the way it is and don’t
want to see it pick up more density in
their neighborhoods.”
Councilor Jon Gustafson disagreed.
“That motion scares the heck out of
me; it ought to scare the citizens of
this city,” he said. “You may not think
it’s throwing out three years of process,
but every one of these topics has
gone through a 10-step public review
process. To come along at this point in
the game with such sweeping revisions
and not give a similar review
process to them ... does absolutely no
justice to the idea that we want to involve
citizens in the whole comprehensive
plan process.”
Bill Gaar, a longtime resident who
is chairman of the city’s planning
commission and participated on a
citizen advisory committee working
on the comp plan, said he has shared
concerns about density and brought
those to the table during the update
process.
“The idea there hasn’t been outreach,
that this has not been an inclusive
process and that individual residential
neighborhoods in Lake Oswego
are not at the foremost of the (citizen
news A3
Planning: Some concern about content
420980.031313
advisory committee) and planning
commission and the people I talk to
every day is contrary to what I’m hearing;
it’s contrary to what I see,” he
said.
Jim Johnson, a planning commissioner
who works as a land-use planner
for the state, said many of the topics
now proposed for elimination from
the comprehensive plan are “crosscutting
issues.”
While not defined as land use, he
said, “They’re going to direct how you
think on certain land-use policies” and
have an influence on long-term quality
of life issues.
Councilor Jeff Gudman, who as the
council’s liaison to the process is heading
up the comp plan citizen advisory
committee, said he supported waiting
until the council’s April 16 meeting to
revisit the discussion. That would give
time to citizens to testify along with
notification that the council plans to
vote on the issue.
“This is a big change,” Gudman
said.
The vote to delay making a decision
passed 4-3, with Gudman, Gustafson
and councilors Donna Jordan and Skip
O’Neill in favor and Kehoe, Councilor
Karen Bowerman and Mayor Kent
Studebaker opposed.

Homes: Buyers find a lot to like
■ From page A1
schools are fantastic,” Munsey said.
“Parents see their child having a
much better chance of preparing for
college here. They are so impressed
with the test scores.”
That was exactly what Heidi Hopkins,
one of Munsey’s clients, was
looking for when she, her husband,
Jeff Fedrizzi, and three children decided
to move from Wyoming to Oregon.
The Lake Oswego adventure
started for the family on Wednesday
when Hopkins and the kids arrived at
their new home and joined Fedrizzi,
who has been working in Portland.
Hopkins and Fedrizzi decided that
what Lake Oswego schools have to offer
was worth the longer commute.
“We were very impressed with the
Lake Oswego school system compared
to Portland,” Hopkins said. “We
thought we wanted to live closer to
Portland, but once we did our homework
we wanted to move here.”
“They are a prime example of the
people choosing Lake Oswego over
the (rest of the) Portland metro area,”
Munsey said.
Another major attraction is the
public art, which citizens and visitors
can enjoy just by walking in downtown
Lake Oswego. You can hardly go
any distance without coming upon a
statue. Munsey said this pushes the
city up to a special level of attraction
for newcomers.
“Our public art is fantastic,” Munsey
said. “It’s a direct reflection of
Lake Oswego’s priorities. It’s an affluent
community that cares about its
environment. In other cities, art is on
the backburner. Public art is directly
connected to property values.”
There is much more, too — Oswego
Lake, George Rogers Park, Millennium
Plaza Park, the flower baskets.
“People are saying, ‘This is where I
want to live,’” Munsey said. “There is
beauty, art, coffee, dogs and one of the
busiest, most used libraries in the
state.”
Portland is the top desired location
for home seekers, but Munsey said,
“The inventory is painfully low.” Actually,
it is unbelievably low. Recent listings
by 3,000 real estate agencies
show six new home listings for Northeast
Portland. From mid-central Portland
to 122nd Avenue the number is
five. The demand is so great that
people are looking in outlying areas.
However, a new breed of homebuyer
has strong memories of the great
real estate fiasco that struck in 2008,
and they are extra cautious when it
comes to acquiring a new home. This
time they are doing lots of research
and finding that Lake Oswego is an
excellent alternative to Portland.
“They discover things like Lake Oswego
being only six miles away from
Portland and that houses cost less per
foot,” Munsey said. “They’re pulling
together lumps of data and it’s coming
up Lake Oswego. Buyers can now see
listings and price changes. They never
asked me about that before, but
now they’re asking me about that all
the time. They use that in their calculations.”
As for sellers, the dire days of the
real estate bust are over.
“If homes are priced appropriately,
they will be selling with multiple offers,”
Munsey said. “It’s definitely a
sellers market. I can list a Lake Oswego
home priced at $530,000, which
is not a low price, and one and a half
hours later I’m getting calls on it.
Eventually, million dollar homes will
start to fly. This is one of the hottest
real estate markets in the country.
The last time the market was so good
here was when Mountain Park was
being built in the 1980s and people
were lining up to buy homes.”
As a real estate agent, Munsey is
delighted to see Area 147 rise to the
top of the market. She is also a big
supporter of public art, so she has
been urging community leaders to
help Lake Oswego maintain its edge
and continue what is working so well.
“If our ... Arts Council (of Lake Oswego)
is not maintained, it’s going to
take away from what we have,” Munsey
said. “People come here and say,
‘This is beautiful.’”
Sharing: No license
listed for Sharing Spree
■ From page A1
emails.
A license is required to operate a business
in Oregon, but there is no license
registered on the secretary of state’s
website under the name Sharing Spree.
A search on the website came up with
one related business with an active license
under Sapp’s name, and it is called
Double S Holdings Inc. It lists a Wilsonville
and a West Linn address. There is a
license for the Florida-based parent company
in that state.
The attorney general complaint from
Tan Republic, which has Lake Oswego
and West Linn locations, estimated that
it lost $3,500 to Sharing Spree.
“We write to you today to register a
formal complaint against Sharing Spree
and their unethical, dishonest business
practices, and to report the PONZI
scheme they have foisted on unwitting
clients such as ourselves,” states a complaint
that Tan Republic-Portland Chief
Financial Officer Joseph Alan signed in
February.
Alan said in a recent interview that
Tan Republic is pursuing legal action
against Sharing Spree and a class action
lawsuit “is the very least that should be
done against them.”

Sharing Spree on its Facebook page:
“This is VERY important, please read!
We recently did a deal with Sharing
Spree to promote our business and 2
months later they’ve officially violated
our contract by not paying us the money
owed. ... If you are a previous, current,
potential merchant or a consumer, I
highly suggest to avoid doing any business
with Sharing Spree.”
An attorney general complaint from
the Ultimate Tan & Med Spa, which has
several area locations, lists Sapp’s address
as in West Linn and claims Sharing
Spree owes the business $7,300 from
a discount deal.
Sapp’s October 2012 email in response
to a request for payment is: “It should
have been sent. I will make sure we get
the payment to you.”
It is the last email from Sapp that is
included in the complaint.
The owner of M2P Marketing, doing
business as www.Fox12DailyDeals.com,
negotiated a deal during a promotion.
M2P claims in an attorney general complaint
that Sharing Spree owes $35,000
between the deal and the merchants’
share of the revenues.

Lake Oswego Review, Lake Oswego, OR April 4, 2013
Cities get jump start on
regional effort to cut pollution
Metro survey seeks input
on ways to reduce driving
By JIM REDDEN
Pamplin Media Group
Many communities in the region have
already undertaken projects to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions as required
by the state of Oregon in the future.
They range from building transit systems
in Portland to encouraging alternative
transportation options in Lake
Oswego and studying increased density
in Forest Grove and Hillsboro.
These and other projects were discussed
last week in a series of stories published in
many Pamplin Media Group newspapers,
including the Lake Oswego Review. The articles
explained the Climate Smart Communities
project being undertaken by Metro,
the elected regional government, at the direction
of the Oregon Legislature.
Metro is now conducting an online Opt In
survey to gauge public opinions about possible
new policies aiming to reduce driving
even more. The policies under discussion
include encouraging more mixed-use developments
and increasing the costs of driving
and parking.
To register and take the survey, visit climatesmartsurvey.com.
Your personal information will not be sold
or shared with other governments or private
businesses without your permission. To
learn more about the Metro surveys, visiting
optinpanel.org.
The elected Metro Council will consider
the results of the survey when finalizing its
proposal for the 2015 Legislature. In the
meantime, following are some of the projects
from around the region discussed in
last week’s stories:
n Lake Oswego: The city has a number of
initiatives to encourage alternative forms of
transportation. They include the second
100-mile Challenge that kicked off on March
25. It aims to reduce local car use, especially
for trips within two miles of home. Participants
who leave their cars behind and instead
walk, cycle or ride the bus can log their
miles and, if they count more than 100 miles’
worth of car-free trips, qualify for prizes. All
car-free trips to, from and within the city
count.
During last year’s event, which ran from
July to December, 214 people logged more
than 60,000 miles without cars, resulting in
an estimated reduction in carbon dioxide
emissions of just under 40,000 pounds and in
2,000 gallons of gasoline.
n West Linn: The city is already pursuing
a number of avenues to implement Metro’s
Climate Smart Communities objectives.
Early in 2012, the city council initiated a
study for redevelopment along Highway 43
and Willamette Falls Drive. The study
showed strong support for compact commercial
and mixed-use centers that would
be conveniently accessible by bicyclists, pedestrians
and motorists.
This year, the city is moving forward with
the redevelopment plans for the arch bridge
area. According to West Linn Associate
Planner Zach Pelz, creating more job opportunities
in West Linn would reduce commute
trips and cut down on greenhouse gas
emission from vehicles.
West Linn’s trail system master plan proposes
major expansion of off-street bike and
pedestrian trails.
n Clackamas County: Created in 1980,
the 819-acre Clackamas Town Center redevelopment
called for improving
transportation connections along
Southeast 82nd Avenue. Connections
to Interstate 205 and Sunnyside
Road made it one of the region’s
fastest growing areas in the
past three decades. Proposed
projects included the construction
of TriMet’s MAX Green Line
to the Clackamas Town Center
mall. The plan has been modified
over the years to reflect growth in
Milwaukie and Happy Valley, the
two cities surrounding the area,
but it has maintained efforts to
add local housing and improve
traffic flow.
n Beaverton: A manifestation of
the city’s comprehensive 2011 Civic
Plan, the Beaverton Creekside District is a
multifaceted redevelopment project encompassing
49 acres along busy Canyon Road.
With funding through the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development, the city
and others, planners are working on a master
plan to concentrate on redeveloping vacant
lots in the area, improving safety and
providing transportation, pedestrian and
bicycling amenities.
Initial plans to route midtown bicycle traffic
from Canyon Road to new “bikeways” on
Broadway Street and Millikan Way — as
well as improvements to Canyon Road to improve
its safety, walkability and attractiveness
to new development — will begin to
take shape in the upcoming fiscal year.
n Forest Grove: The city is developing a
new transit system with help from Ride Connection
that will encourage public transportation
within the city. Planning commissioners
and city councilors will also soon consider
updates to the city’s comprehensive
plan that would encourage more walking
than driving while helping to attract new
businesses. One idea would increase the
density of the downtown core, perhaps more
than quadrupling it from 20 residential units
Metro is now
conducting an
online Opt In
survey to
gauge public
opinions about
possible new
policies aiming
to reduce
driving even
more.
per acre to 90.
Planners are thinking about adding two
more commercial centers to the city. To encourage
more mixed-use development there,
the allowable square footage of buildings
would increase, perhaps up to 30,000 square
feet. That’s about the size of the New Seasons
store at Orenco Station in Hillsboro.
n Hillsboro: Sustainability and transportation
alternatives are key features of the
Hillsboro Intermodul Transit Facility, a joint
project of the city, Tuality Healthcare and
Pacific University at 775 SE Baseline. A sustainably
designed building along the westside
MAX line, it houses 794 parking spaces
on five floors, 13 state-of-the-art electric vehicle
charging stations and the region’s first
bicycle commuter station, Bike Park Hillsboro.
The building also includes groundfloor
retail space and is home to
Portland Community College’s
Hillsboro Education Center. It has
won a number of awards for design
and sustainability.
The Hillsboro City Council has
also prioritized encouraging alternative
transportation options.
The proposed GoPoint Mobility
Hub system will allow residents
and workers to more easily connect
with short-term car and bike
rental, carpools, vanpools and
shuttle buses. The north-central
part of town was selected for the
first phase because it includes
concentrated residential areas
such as the rapidly growing Orenco
neighborhood, big employers
including Intel and the upcoming new Kaiser
Permanente hospital, retail centers such
as The Streets and the Tanasbourne Mall,
and Portland Community College’s Willow
Creek campus. The area is also served by
TriMet’s westside MAX line.
n Portland: The biggest city in the region
is known for its alternative transportation
policies and projects. They include the Portland
Streetcar loop that is nearing completion
around the urban core. Work is under
way to connect it to TriMet’s new Portlandto-Milwaukie
MAX line near OMSI on the
east side of the Willamette River and in the
South Waterfront neighborhood on the west
side.
The Portland City Council also approved
the Portland Plan last year that calls for the
creation of neighborhood centers throughout
town where residents can walk to work
and shopping areas within 20 minutes. The
plan also calls for them to be connected with
streets that are designed to encourage walking
and biking.

Smart Communities project is available at
Metro’s website at oregonmetro.gov/climatescenarios.

OUROPINION
Your opinions drive
our region’s future
Take part in Metro’s online survey to help
drive decisions for the region on transportation
How much did you drive today Where did you go Could
you have walked to some of those places
If your community changed its development
process to create more walkable neighborhoods
and business districts, would you drive
less
Those are some of the questions facing regional
planners who are tinkering with Portland-area development
during the next few decades. As part of
the process, those planners want to hear what you
think.
Metro — the regional government responsible for
most large-scale planning goals — and your local
communities are in the midst of the Climate Smart
Communities Scenario Project. The idea is to create
development guidelines that cut the amount of miles
we drive each year and establish neighborhoods,
parks, recreation and business districts that reduce
our carbon footprint.
By December 2014, Metro and its community partners
hope to approve a plan that builds on the 2040
Growth Concept developed nearly two decades ago.
That proposal helped shape the region we live in by
focusing on healthy communities, safe and reliable
transportation systems that move people to their
jobs and goods to market, and protecting our air and
water.
One other big part of the plan is the Legislature’s
requirement that the state reduce its greenhouse
gas emissions significantly during the next two decades.
Metro will develop a plan for the Portland area
to do just that, and present it to the 2015 legislative
session.
The 2007 Legislature approved a goal of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions in the state to 75 percent
of the 1990 level by 2050. The 2009 Legislature told
Metro to help achieve that goal by reducing emissions
from cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicles.
The target eventually was set at 20 percent below
2005 levels by 2035.
Here’s where you come in. To develop the plan,
Metro needs people from across the region to be part
of its Opt In survey. By joining the online survey (climatesmartsurvey.com),
residents can voice their
opinions about a range of options and help drive the
planning process.
Some of the questions you can help answer are:
n How can the region support state and federal efforts
to transition to clean fuels and technology
n How do we pay for investments needed to realize
our shared vision for walkable communities, job
creation and affordable housing and transportation
choices
n How much frequent transit should the region
provide and what areas should be a priority What
other investments are needed to complement this
strategy
As Metro Councilor Sam Chase said: “I want to live
in a region that’s doing everything it can to reduce
global warming and make communities healthier
and better places to live, and that’s what the Climate
Smart Communities project is all about.”
There are examples of the types of things planners
have considered in the climate smart process. They
include infill housing in Portland neighborhoods, expansion
of the Portland Streetcar and TriMet’s MAX
rail system, redevelopment of the South Waterfront
area and higher density housing near transit to encourage
ridership.
Metro will discuss the Climate Smart Communities
research in May at two meetings with local officials.
A recommendation will go to the Metro Council,
which will decide where to focus the research.
Make your voice heard.
What’s at stake is continued smart growth of our
neighborhoods, our cities and our counties. By guiding
the planning today, our children — and their children
— will live in a region that respects its environment,
attracts good jobs and puts businesses and
services within walking distance of most neighborhoods.
Bills target statewide strategy
for facilities, investment
A
decade ago, when Oregon faced
one if its greatest-ever infrastructure
challenges in replacing
its failing bridges, state
leaders knew exactly where to look to set
priorities.
Today, we face a new challenge — our
aging, and in some cases obsolete, school
facilities are reaching the end of their
useful lives, and only strategic investment
will solve the problem.
The problem is, we don’t know where
to start.
When we replaced our bridges, we
knew exactly what spans would get the
greatest return on investment — what
bridges were closest to failing, how much
traffic they carried, how much it would
cost to replace them. We set a master list
of priorities statewide, and we continue to
chip away at it.
Even though school facilities are a local
concern, we need a statewide strategy to
support school facility needs and capital
investment planning.
There are two bills in the Legislature
that would do that — HB 2916 and SB 540
would establish a statewide task force on
Capital Improvement Planning, and direct
the Department of Education to establish
and maintain a public facility information
database that includes energy
use, seismic ratings, education performance,
operations and maintenance
costs, enrollment projections and technology
upgrade status.
Think of it as an Oregon roadmap for
our school buildings.
This kind of work is being promoted by
the Community Investment Initiative, a
group of public- and private-sector community
leaders helping create jobs by
looking for new answers for 21st century
challenges. We’ve partnered with seven
school districts in the Portland region to
Support offered for Kevin

READERS’LETTERS
We are pleased to support Kevin Robertson
for the Lake Oswego School
Board.
Kevin and his family were our neighbors
when we moved to this community
nine years ago, and we have seen firsthand
his willingness to give generously
of his time, talent and treasure to others,
and, specifically, to the Lake Oswego
public schools.
With his dedication to the LOSD
Foundation and the formation of the endowment
fund, his proven years of experience
in financial management, and his
involvement with his daughters’ education
at the elementary, junior high and
high school levels, Kevin is uniquely
qualified to handle the ongoing budget
challenges that our district is facing.
Kevin’s wife, Pamela, has been a dedicated
volunteer in their daughters’
classrooms and schools, serving enthusiastically
on the PTA, on auction committees
and with the LOSD Foundation.
Both Kevin and Pamela have shown
leadership and discernment in advocating
for our children, for our schools and,
ultimately, for our community.
develop a school facilities analysis tool.
That tool assesses school conditions
while also factoring in performance and
demographic characteristics. The Data
Resource Center at Metro, the regional
government, has provided the technology
to help create this web-based tool.
If it were used statewide, it could help
the Oregon Department of Education, because
it factors in all of the facility areas
outlined in HB 2916 and SB 540, and includes
additional student demographic
analysis. The need to protect and enhance
Oregonians’ investment in public
school facilities is critical as buildings age
and the need for technology enhancements
increases.
The initiative also believes that investing
in infrastructure to support the creation
of living-wage jobs is tied directly to
supporting workforce development. This
means fostering educational opportunities
for all students, statewide, in fields
with high employment potential is critical.
ECONorthwest analyzed Oregon’s high
school graduating class of 2006 and determined
that the percentage of high school
graduates who completed a college degree
by 2011 in science, technology, engineering
and math, or STEM, fields was
only 2.5 percent.
Given the growth of technology-related
companies in Oregon, and the need for
workforce development, increasing
STEM educational opportunities for Oregon
students will help provide greater
employment opportunities, thereby increasing
overall economic prosperity.
We’ve got plenty of jobs in STEM fields,
and we’ll have more in the future — but
Oregon is not educating many students in
STEM programs. Providing more STEM
programs and making these opportunities
more available, especially to underserved
urban and rural communities, is imperative.
If not, Oregon STEM employers will
continue to hire from outside the state to
meet their workforce needs.
Two legislative bills also being considered
this session include SB 498, which
will increase training opportunities in essential
STEM employment fields, and HB
2636, which establishes STEM leadership
and grants statewide.
In order to deliver and increase STEM
programs in all educational settings, we
must address classroom readiness, and
using a statewide facility analysis tool
will help determine capital improvement
needs to provide such programs.
The initiative encourages support for
these bills. Enhancing our investment in
public school facilities statewide, and expanding
STEM educational programs designed
to increase human capital opportunities
for all Oregon students, will directly
benefit Oregon’s economy for years
to come.
For more, see communityinvestmentinitiative.org.
Joe Rodriguez is a member of the Community
Investment Initiative’s Leadership Council,
and chairs the council’s schools facilities committee.
He is a former superintendent of the
Hillsboro School District. In the interest of full
disclosure, Mark Garber, president of Community
Newspapers, is a member of the steering
committee of the Community Investment Initiative.
We trust Kevin to work diligently on
the school board, and to use wisdom,
creativity, thoughtfulness and compassion
in making sound decisions for our
schools. Please join us in voting for Kevin
Robertson for school board.

to offer school board
As a 12-year Lake Oswego school
system parent, I’ve attended a lot
of meetings and made a lot of
suggestions. Some have been accepted,
some have not, but there has been a
process to maintain excellence and analyze
the cost/benefit of a public education that
serves all students.
In order to bring what I have learned
closer to the decision-making process, I
have filed for Position 4 of the Lake Oswego
School Board. I want to help move the district
forward. The district will be making
key decisions including hiring a new superintendent
and balancing enrollment, course
offerings, student experiences and technology
within our limited financial resources.
These are the key challenges, which I believe
I have relevant experience to help.
In addition to financial restrictions, I believe
we need to consider scientific research
on best education practices for a developing
child. We may not always be able
to incorporate those practices at our
schools, but we must include that data in
our decision-making process.
My priorities are for continued successful
student outcomes. We will try to improve
on a 95 percent graduation rate and
encourage more than 92 percent of graduating
seniors to seek higher education.
One of the secrets of the
success of the Lake Oswego School District
is our community. We are an educated community.
We value education. We historically
have voted for a local option to provide
extra school budget money beyond the
state of Oregon allocation and both parents
and community members have donated to
the Lake Oswego Schools Foundation.
We have a parent community who volunteer
in the classroom beginning in kindergarten
so that students begin their education
with a well-managed classroom. Parents
volunteer throughout their child’s
years to help coaches, teachers and directors
enrich student lives with extra-curricular
activities.
We are a district that uses resources for
students transferring in to bring those students
up to speed when they come from a
district that has not had the same preparation.
We have parents who fill in the gaps
with programs like art literacy and payments
to parent club auctions and fundraisers
for playground equipment, computers
and classroom enhancements.
In my 12 years as a parent and volunteer
for Lake Oswego schools, I have donated
money and time. I have served as a parent
club president twice (currently at Lakeridge
Pacer Parent Club), chaired two auctions,
helped with numerous school fundraisers,
and worked on and contributed to
the foundation. I am serving as the captain
of this year’s Foundation Phonathon and
school efforts to raise a minimum of $1.5
million for teachers (losfoundation.org).
In addition to my work with schools, I am
active in our community. I have served as
chair of the Glenmorrie Neighborhood Association
and attended nearly all the neighborhood
chair meetings over the past four
years. I am currently serving on the Comprehensive
Plan citizen’s advisory committee
— planning for the next 25 years of Lake
Oswego. I look forward to incorporating the
knowledge I’ve gained to help make decisions
for Lake Oswego schools that impact
students today and plan for tomorrow’s students.

As Wells Fargo’s regional president
for Oregon and Southwest
Washington, whenever people
see news like Wells Fargo contributing
$315.8 million to communities nationwide
in 2012, they ask: What does that
mean for this region and for me personally
My answer: A lot.
Last year Wells Fargo team members in
Oregon amd Southwest Washington volunteered
75,605 hours, including my 365
hours. That’s $1.64 million worth of time
(using the value of a volunteer hour, as determined
by the nonprofit Independent
Sector).

in Oregon include Habitat for Humanity affiliates,
which build affordable homes for
low-income families; New Avenues for
Youth in downtown Portland, which serves
homeless youths; the Oregon Food Bank;
and the Salvation Army’s White Shield in
Portland, a home and school for unwed
teenage girls who are either pregnant or
have already given birth.
Why do I volunteer so much Volunteering
helps local nonprofits extend their resources.
The money Habitat for Humanity
receives from Wells Fargo is great, but all
that lumber and other supplies won’t become
homes unless volunteers pick up a
hammer and build with them.
New Avenues for Youth is a similar situation.
Sure, our contributions of money
buy food but it only becomes meals for
homeless youth when it’s cooked by volunteers.
Whether your company is large or small,
whether you’re an individual or part of a
large family, volunteering also builds teamwork
and creates an environment for making
new and often lasting friendships.
Volunteering certainly fills a place in my
life and heart. When we volunteer at White
Shield, we cook and serve a meal to teenage
mothers who have no parents or family
to care for them.
We ask the girls in advance to choose the
menu, which has included ribs, hamburgers,
pizza and apple pie. If the meal is near
a holiday, we also bring related gifts. We’ve
also brought along our pets for companionship,
and built and donated picnic tables
and pingpong tables.
But here’s what affects me the most:

Lake Oswego Review, Lake Oswego, OR April 4, 2013
From Page A7
ties planned for the Lake Oswego-Tigard water
plant are state of the art. A high rate clarification
process will remove sediment and algae.
Next, ozone treatment will remove undesirable
taste- and odor-causing compounds, pathogens,
algal toxins, disinfection by-products, pharmaceuticals
and personal care products. And finally,
filtration will remove the remaining particles
and impurities.
Wouldn’t these safe drinking water parameters
also make the virtually unlimited water
from the Willamette River (and wells along the
river) drinkable year-round If so, this would allow
us to locate the water treatment plant within
the city limits of Lake Oswego and save the $9
million tunneling cost of another river crossing
from the Clackamas River source, plus more
funds for piping water through West Linn, and
the $5 million fee for inconveniencing West Linn
residents.
Presently, Lake Oswego needs additional water
from the new river crossing only to satisfy
peak demand for a few summer days. In contrast,
Tigard plans to replace its principal water
source with this alternate water source. Lake
Oswego justifies the huge costs and skyrocketing
water rates of the partnership with Tigard
by postulating a huge growth in water demand
in the future. This projection requires a belief
that the population of Lake Oswego will experience
a large, continuing increase, which is predicated
on a much denser population in a much
faster-growing metropolitan area. Have we been
suckered into a very costly, one-sided agreement
William Barbat
Lake Oswego
Column’s key points
missed the mark
In (his column in) the March 21 edition, Mikel
Kelly, the Pamplin Media Group associate editor,
excoriated his auto insurance company for increasing
his insurance premium after an accident
(that) he admitted was his fault. In his comments
he referred to the insurance companies to
be as “expensive, as worthless and as cowardly
as banks,” etc.
Two principles come to mind: 1) that they apparently
paid the claim, saving him about $4,000
and 2) he didn’t mention whether or not he
shopped for a better rate at other insurers (there
are more than 300 auto insurers licensed in Oregon).
As part of making his case about evil big businesses,
Mr. Kelly also made the statement that
oil companies “always report profits of something
like 9,000 percent. Every year.” 9,000 percent
of what Sales In 2012, Exxon made approximately
9.5 percent on sales. Chevron was at
about 4.5 percent. A company among the highest
returns was Apple at roughly 27.5 percent! Maybe
9,000 percent of their net worth I could find
thousands of venture capitalists to invest in such
a business in no time.
He then goes on to say that if the principles of
government support of such industries were applied
to his business (i.e., the newspaper), “then,
like the insurance industry, we’d have a guaranteed
income stream ...” Not quite the same because
if I don’t take a newspaper it won’t affect
anyone else’s well-being. Unlike damaging their
car or their person.
Mr. Kelly, you substantially ruined your case
by revealing your ignorance of basic economics.
I suggest you take a couple of courses in the discipline.

Re-elect Wendland
to the school board
As a fellow LOJ and LOHS alumnus and a fellow
parent of children who have successfully
progressed through our superb Lake Oswego
schools, I strongly endorse John Wendland’s reelection
to the Lake Oswego School Board.
I have known John for almost 40 years, and for
all of these years I have found John to be a man
of integrity, thoughtfulness, consensus-building,
creativity and business acumen. Regardless of
the situation, John is one to put community and
family first.
Over these past four years I have been impressed
that John, as a school board member
and chair, has been a strong advocate for our
community, schools and students in these times
of unprecedented challenges. John has been a
leader in making some very tough decisions.
And as unpopular and unsettling as some of
these decisions have been, I believe that his
leadership in this discernment make him irreplaceable
in leading us through these next four
years as we select and orient a new superintendent,
continue to deal with our funding challenges
and continue to make Lake Oswego a desirable
community to raise and educate our children.
Please join me in electing John Wendland to
another term on our school board.

Support Sarah Howell
for school board
I am a lifelong resident who strongly endorses
Sarah Howell’s candidacy for Position 2 on the
Lake Oswego School Board because she has the
proven capabilities and experience to guide our
school district through the next four challenging
years.
Sarah is a foundation board member now
serving in her third year. She has regularly attended
and participated in school board meetings
for the last five years. I am impressed by
her foresight, analysis, command of issues and
excellent working relationships. She is an outstanding
representative of this generation’s informed
parents who deserve the opportunity to
manage the assets and shape the educational future
of their students, just as previous generations
have done.
Sarah uniquely bridges our school district and
community, having been recognized as a Lake
Oswego 2013 Unsung Hero.
Because we share that honor, I know that the
thousands of volunteer hours required are testimony
to her work ethic. She will apply the same

effort to stretching dollars and strengthening
schools.
She welcomes your questions, concerns and

Keep our schools exceptional
— elect John Wendland
Exceptional leaders build exceptional school
districts. With two sons who have spent seven
years in Lake Oswego schools and currently attend
Stanford, we know that our circumstances
might have been quite different without a fearless
leadership, a gifted staff and a wonderful
community.
It is our privilege to support John Wendland
for the school board. In times of great uncertainty
and financial hardship, John has shown outstanding
leadership. He is unafraid to take hard
decisions that are not always popular, but are always
right for our schools and ultimately for students
and their families.
Above all, John is a champion of our gifted
and exceptional staff, always looking to find the
best solutions for them within endless constraints.
With all the changes planned for the
next few years, continuity in the leadership of
the school district is imperative. We need John’s
vision, dedication and unsurpassed loyalty to
preserve the culture so special to Lake Oswego
and to maintain an exceptional environment for
our children.
We urge the community to re-elect John
Wendland to the school board.

Wendland brings a good mix
to the school board
The Lake Oswego School District needs John
Wendland. John brings leadership, dedication
and experience to the Lake Oswego School
Board.
As current chair of the school board, John
was able to reconfigure facilities while maintaining,
and even adding to, school programming.
There are still many challenges ahead for our
school district including the selection of a new
superintendent. We need John’s experience and
solid leadership going forward to tackle these issues.
His passion, ability to listen and high expectations
are key attributes that make him an essential
member of the board.
Please vote for John Wendland, Lake Oswego
School Board Position three.
Delaney is the right
school board choice
Martin and Jamie Dana
Lake Oswego
I am a Lake Oswego parent of four children in
grades one through three and I support Karen
Delaney for Lake Oswego School District School
Board Position 3. Karen brings the important
perspective of the entire education spectrum
having children in elementary school through
high school. This is a crucial viewpoint that the
current board members are obviously lacking.
Karen understands that the issues of concern in
our district need to be addressed by reviewing
more than just one avenue. The importance of
having an advocate for all levels of education is
critical. Preserving the low teacher-student ratio
and parity of course offerings at the high
schools are intricate situations that call for
someone with Karen’s thorough understanding
of the fiscal as well as logistical components.
The frustration caused over school closures
and consolidation decisions should speak loudly
enough for the need for someone with Karen’s
experience and commitment. Please join me in
voting for Karen Delaney for LO School Board
Position 3.

Wendland gets our vote
for school board
editorial A9
We enthusiastically endorse John Wendland
for re-election to the Lake Oswego School Board.
John is our good friend of many years, who is a
man of outstanding character. John’s integrity,
passion for our community and strong work ethic
will continue to provide Lake Oswego schools
with vital board leadership.
Our belief is this election is not about a single
issue. Rather, school issues are remarkably complex
and multifaceted with widely ranging opinions
regarding process and solutions.
With his broad perspective of business skills,
community service and school board experience,
John’s knowledge is critical as the schools
undertake a superintendent succession process,
along with strategically working through continued
school funding issues. Because he deeply
cares, diligently studies and deliberately works
through sensitive topics with the full range of
stakeholders, John provides seasoned leadership
during these critical years.
We encourage support for John Wendland for
Lake Oswego schools.

The Review
Several years after the old Willamette
Shore Line trolley sputtered to its final
stop, a new car is nearly ready to roll
down the line between Lake Oswego
and Portland.
The vintage trolley, a replica of the Council
Crest streetcars that ran in Portland a
century ago, arrived Tuesday in Lake Oswego.
Two replica cars are actually coming to
Lake Oswego on a free lease, through 2018,
from Vintage Trolley Inc. in Portland, although
only the one has arrived so far.

Say goodbye to that false sense
of equanimity, it’s time once
again for “Liberal Facts vs.
Conservative Fallacies” here
on the citizen’s view. (Seriously
Again)
Last week Noel Wolfe introduced us
to perplexing sentences and today’s topic:
“Gun control — the hysterics of the
Progressive political talking points.”
Here is, in summary,
Noel’s letter addressing
CITIZEN’SVIEW
Burl Ross
the matter of gun control:
“Burl Ross ... writes
in his typical cryptic
style ... denigrating citizen
(Mike) Hall for expressing his opinion
... never offers facts ... only wishes to
fact-check other’s opinions with his ‘pesky
progressive’ slant. In bygone years,
Burl would have been known as a Tory.”
Firstly, kudos to Noel for acknowledging
that gun control is all about me. Secondly,
yes, I admit to a “cryptic” writing
style, though I prefer “Faulknerian.”
Thirdly, I appreciate the fact that Noel
doesn’t believe in denigrating others for
expressing their opinions, especially
others like me who, in Noel’s denigrating
opinion, never offer facts. Fourthly, Tory
Noel, you do know that the Tories
were the conservatives, right They
fought the liberal Whig patriots and
used old-timey phrases like “in bygone
years.” There’s no question which of us
is the Tory here.
But enough name-calling, Benedict,
let’s get to our real purpose — factchecking
Noel’s opinions with a pesky
progressive slant.
1) “Current gun control mania (is) a
Democrat Party platform agenda item.”
False — There is no “Democrat Party” in
America. There’s one in Thailand, however.
2) “The Obama presidency (is) the far
left in American politics today.” False —
I’m the far left in American politics today.
Obama is only just now glancing
across the center in my direction.
3) “The Congressional Progressive
Caucus (is) an admittedly socialist faction
...” Oh for God’s sake — False. Stop
parroting idiocies from Allen West.
Sorry, I can slog no further through
Noel’s first paragraph. Let’s skip ahead
to where he goes completely off the
rails: “Wouldn’t it be interesting to discover
that the criminally insane that
committed recent heinous acts of violence
were liberals, nay Democrats, or
even worked as staff members for
(Obama’s) re-election
campaign Please, say it
isn’t so.”
Um, OK, Noel — it
isn’t so. Gabby Gifford
was not the criminally
insane shooter of herself. Newtown alleged
killer Adam Lanza was not an
Obama campaign staffer. Any other “interesting”
delusions we can disabuse
you of Nay
Interestingly, Noel’s question was answered
in the editor’s note following the
letter preceding his, explaining that the
League of Women Voters of Clackamas
County opted not to sign their gun-safety
letter as individual board members
“because of concerns ... about writers of
gun-safety pieces sometimes encountering
issues as a result.” Are these feared
“issues” coming from liberals Hint: Nay.
So, should I post this letter anonymously
Maybe so, especially considering
this sole reason Noel offers for his
passionate defense of unregulated gun
rights: All “in-country Vietnam combat
veterans” like himself, he says, belong to
a Constitutional “well-regulated militia,”
whether they “wish to accept this most
noble moniker or not,” and “should the
need arise” are prepared to nobly overthrow
the government of these United
States. “Just as assuredly as that loosely
associated group of rural farmers stood
on a green in Colonial America and defied
... the most powerful military of its
day,” Noel vows, “so too will we.”
No mention of guns for skeet shooting.
Again, who’s the Tory
Burl Ross is a resident of Lake Oswego.
POWER STEERING
LEAKS
One of the first indications
that a vehicle’s power
steering pump is running
dry is a howling noise
created when turning the
steering wheel. This sound
and extra effort to turn
the vehicle should prompt
an immediate check of
the fluid in the reservoir.
Leaking hoses or seals in
the pump or steering unit
can all lead to fluid loss.
Running a power steering
dry can be very expensive.
While stop-leak additives
may stave off repair for
awhile, replacement with a
new or remanufactured unit
provides a long lasting fix.
Stop by Vic’s Auto Center
and let us check your fluid
if you develop any of these
symptoms.
Visit us today at 15880
Boones Ferry Rd., or call
503-636-7896 to make an
appointment.
HINT: Power steering fluid
is just one of the important
fluids in a vehicle that should be
checked regularly to ensure your
vehicle continues to operate
unfailingly.

The Review
Until recently, a pile of books was just a
pile of books.
But now they are poetry.
Spine poetry.
“We had no
plans. We had
no syllabus.
We discovered
everything
together.
There was no
hierarchy
between
students and
faculty.”
— Jesse Stommel,
Marylhurst professor
Kathi Inman Berens and her colleagues
from Marylhurst University
introduced this new concept with a
special event at the Lake Oswego
Public Library March 28. It was deceptively
simple. They set up a table
in the middle of the library and piled
books on it. Then they invited browsers
to stack the books in any combination
and write a poem based on the
titles.
“You can use two books, three
books, four books or 12 books,” said
Inman Berens, a resident of Lake Oswego
and University of Southern California
professor who teamed up with
a Marylhurst teacher and students
for the project.
Frankly, this might sound crazy at
first. By writing spine poetry a reader is introduced
to not just reading but creating while
they read, something that is demanded by electronic
literature. They will never look at books
the same way again.
At first, a traditional book lover
must overcome the temptation to
turn tail and run. However, confusion
is normal when first confronted with
spine poetry. But Inman Berens is irresistible,
and thorough, in explaining
it, and teacher Jesse Stommel
and his Marylhurst students have
such enthusiasm for their project
that soon you find yourself catching
the fever. They realize they must
first convince a newcomer to try it.
Stommel, who had taught such traditional
subjects as Shakespeare and
famous monsters previously in his
career, approached his digital literature
class with the bravado of a
swimmer plunging into a freezing
lake.
“We had no plans,” said Stommel.
“We had no syllabus. We discovered

Kenya Keys needs assistance
to build rescue center in Kenya
Attend an informational session April 11
to learn about GlobalGiving fundraising
Kenya Keys, founded by
Lake Oswego residents
Brent and Rinda Hayes, is
partnering with GlobalGiving,
a fundraising website
for non-profit organizations,
to raise money to
build a rescue center for
girls in rural Kenya.
The organization has 30
days to raise $5,000 from at
least 40 donors to meet GlobalGiving’s
requirement. To
inform the community about
the project, Kenya Keys is
holding an information session
April 11 from 7 to 8:30
p.m. at Oswego Heritage
House, 398 Tenth St.
“Kenya Keys serves some
of the most at-risk girls in the
world,” said Megan Wilcken,
development director for Kenya
Keys. “These girls start
life full of hope, vivacity and
big dreams. But life in rural
Kenya is unbelievably hard —
it does little to support the
dreams of young girls.
“On a good day, these girls
must handle heavy domestic
workloads, gender bias within
their families and communities,
malnutrition or even
starvation, disease (such as)
LGetting Homes Sold in a

malaria, HIV/AIDS, walking
long distances to school and
studying by the light of small,
homemade kerosene lanterns.”
Wilcken said the girls face
greater risks, including sexual
violence, being kidnapped
and sold into the sex trade,
having to prostitute themselves
to pay school fees or
help support their families,
becoming pregnant, sold as
child brides or being attacked
by animals or men on their
way to school.
Kenya Keys hopes to build
the Usalama (Swahili for safety)
Center, which would provide
the girls with a shelter,
mentoring in assertiveness,
life skills and study habits;
family counseling to help parents
find alternative methods
of support other than selling
daughters for a bride price; a
study hall with light, resource
books and tutors; classes to
help girls who become pregnant
stay in school and business
training to help girls become
self-sufficient.

4 DAYS LEFT TO VOTE!
As the number of folks using
kayaks, canoes and paddle
boards on Oswego Lake
has grown in recent years,
the Lake Corporation has reviewed
tightening rules aiming
to keep them safe.
According to the Lake
Corp.’s March newsletter, the
board of directors will soon
consider new rules requiring
nonpowered watercraft to stay
inside of the buoys set up to
protect swimmers in the past.
Sailboats would be exempt
from the new rules, and scull
rowing craft would be allowed
outside of the marked lines for
an hour and a half after sunrise,
so long as they flash LED
warning strobes like the type
bicyclists carry and stay close
to the confined area.
If the new rules are approved,
the only time most kayaks
and canoes would be able
to go outside of the buoys
would be with a powerboat
serving as an escort.
The Lake Corporation has
long overseen water quality
and safety on the lake on behalf
of its shareholders, or lakefront
homeowners, who pay
hefty dues to keep the water
clear of invasive species and
algae blooms. Only residents
who live on the lake or belong
to easements, essentially private
docks and beaches, have
access to the water. City residents
are also able to use a seasonal
public swim park, and
some have access to another
swim park operated by the
school district.
The corporation’s directing
board will consider the new
safety rules at a meeting in May,
according to its newsletter.

Master swordsman
coming to Lake Oswego
Sekiguchi Komei Sensei,
grand master of the samurai
sword, will be giving a clinic
in Lake Oswego, Saturday
through Tuesday at the former
Palisades Elementary
School building, 1500 SW
Greentree Ave. in Lake Oswego.
Komei Sensei is the 21st
grand master of the Muso Jikiden
Eishin Ryu Iai Jutsu, a system
of the samurai sword that is
450 years old. He is in direct line
from the first grand master of
the discipline in the 16th century.
Joining Komei Sensei will be
Shimizu Nobuko Sensei. She
teaches the Naginata (pole and
sword).
The clinic is being coordinated
by Sonoko and Chad
Gene E. Watson
Sept. 7, 1927 – March 5, 2013
Beers, Lake Oswego residents
who are students of the grand
master.
“We hope this will take in
Lake Oswego,” Chad Beers said.
“This is our first-ever public
event. We’ll see how it goes. Our
goal is to have twice as many
people next year. We want to
have it every year.” The public
is welcome to visit and observe,
free of charge, at all eight sessions.
Beers noted that these skills
must be taught by the grand
master himself in person. Books
and DVDs are only supplements
to his personal instruction.
Sessions are scheduled from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 to 6 p.m.
all four days of the event.
For more information, go to
the website komeijuku.org.
Gene succumbed to pulmonary thrombosis
after a particularly difficult battle with the
disease during the last few months of his
life. As a young child, Gene and his family moved
from Utah to Pocatello, Idaho. While growing up
in Pocatello, Gene became an Eagle Scout. After
serving in the U.S. Navy during WWII, Gene
graduated from Idaho State College as a pharmacist.
While at ISC, Gene met his wife, Barbara, also a
pharmacist. After a brief stint working as pharmacists
in Pocatello, the couple moved to Portland, Ore.,
where Gene worked at Seaton’s Pharmacy. The
couple opened the first of two Village Drug Stores
in Lake Oswego, Ore., in 1958. The family owned
and operated stores were known as much for their
hamburgers and milkshakes as they were for their
outstanding pharmacy and the many long-time
employees Gene and Barbara mentored over the
years. They sold their stores in 1996 and retired.
Gene’s early years in Lake Oswego were filled
with boating and water skiing on Oswego Lake
and later, SCUBA diving around the world. He was
known for sharing his SCUBA adventure stories
with customers between filling prescriptions. Gene
and his family have been long-time members of the
Lake Grove Presbyterian Church in Lake Oswego
where a memorial service has already been held.
Gene had requested that donations be given to the
Boy Scouts. Please mail your donation to Lake
Grove Presbyterian Church, 4040 Sunset Dr., Lake
Oswego, OR 97035 and write on the memo line “for
Boy Scout Troop 432.”
Leonard Martin Mathisen
August 25, 1915 - March 23, 2013
Leonard Martin Mathisen, 97, of Lake Oswego
passed peacefully in his sleep on March 23, 2013,
after a brief illness. He was born in Portland,
Oregon, on August 25, 1915, to Leonard A. and Inez
Mathisen who nurtured his love of fishing and classical
music. He lived in Hillsdale with his parents and sister,
June Mathisen Campbell, and graduated from Lincoln High
School in 1933. Following a year at Northwestern College
of Law, he proudly spent 15 months with the Civilian
Conservation Corps in Remote, Oregon.
Len ultimately received a degree in Fish & Game
Management from the newly created department of Fish &
Game Management at Oregon State College in 1939. He
went to work full time for the Oregon Game Commission
(OGC) in 1940, researching the remote lakes of the
Deschutes National Forest and falling in love with Central
Oregon. He was drafted into the US Army in 1941, initially
assigned to a horse battalion and then transferred to Officer
Candidate School. He served throughout WWII, finally as
a battalion liaison officer with Patton’s army. Len married
Ilene England of Multnomah on June 15, 1942.
Upon his return to OGC in 1946, Len was assigned to
Reedsport to do research on the Umpqua River. In 1950
he became the first Central Regional Supervisor for OGC
(later Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife) in Bend. He
loved his work and especially all the great people he was
associated with. He particularly liked getting out in the field,
whether checking hunters and anglers on opening weekend,

labels while shopping.

everything together. There was no hierarchy
between students and faculty. Now we want to
present bits and pieces and make it accessible
to everyone else.”
Going along with Stommel on this journey
were Marylhurst students Ken Schultz, Jessica
Zisa and Lans Pacifico.
“The fun part when we started was that no
one had any idea what electronic literature
was,” Schultz said. “The format was awesome.”
“Electronic literature is booming right
now,” said Zisa, who served as public relations
coordinator for the project. “It was hard
to find one definition for what it is.”
“We feel like we’re an icebreaker ship for a
new idea,” said Pacifico, who reached out to
high school students, one of multiple community
segments the group tried to reach.
“Once people see what we’re doing they understand,”
Stommel said. “At first they’re
overwhelmed and stunned. They understand
by doing this experiment with us.”
Their goal was to preserve the history of
traditional reading but push forward into a
new direction at the same time. A spine poetry
project seemed like a great way to start.
The response to their new website, spinepoetry.com,
has shown that hundreds of people
are ready to take the spine poetry challenge.
Inman Berens said readers who try spine
poetry will never look at a book cover the
same way again.
“Once you’ve pulled a book off a shelf and
bought it, the purpose of the cover is over,”
Inman Berens said. “With electronic literature,
the container of a book can also tell a
story.”
Inman Berens uses the example of F. Scott
Fitzgerald’s classic novel, “The Great Gatsby,”
to illustrate the power of electronic literature.
Berens said that “Gatsby” is traditional literature
in the best sense, and Fitzgerald meant it
to be read from start to finish. Otherwise, it
would be impossible to find out what was going
on in the romantic mind of Jay Gatsby.
But electronic literature turns that concept
inside out.
“In electronic literature you have touch,
hearing and mobility,” Inman Berens said.
“Your attention is dispersed all around.”
Of course many children, who have no barriers
from traditional learning to overcome,
dig electronic literature right from the start.
They still love to have mom read a storybook
to them, but later they use electronic devices
and not only read stories but also add their
own creativity. That is what Inman Berens’
daughter and son have done: reading, then
making parodies and basic animation. Helena
Berens, 12, was inspired to write her own horror
story, using her little brother and his
friend as the main characters (a case of literary
typecasting).

Now their mom is planning to introduce location-based
literature with a presentation of
“Hansel and Gretel” at Tryon Creek State
Natural Area by placing recordings in various
trees of herself reading the fairy tale. Those
attending should be wary if a witch invites
them in for gingerbread.
Inman Berens offers excellent advice to
people baffled by making the jump from traditional
reading to electronic literature.
“You can’t go wrong by clicking and trying,”
she said. “You get a sense of play and
seeing what is happening.”
In fact, once people start writing spine poems
there is the danger they will like it too
much.
“It’s hard not to become super philosophical
and just expand and expand,” Schultz
said.
Zisa found that her spine poetry class was
starting to extend outside the classroom.
“I went to shop for some wine and I started
writing poetry from the various wine labels,”
Zisa said. “Everything I saw went together.”
Inman Berens hopes to inspire a national
outbreak of spine poetry and open the door
for appreciation of a new kind of reading with
her Electronic Literature Showcase that began
on Wednesday at the Library of Congress
in Washington D.C. It will be the first presentation
on electronic literature ever staged at
the library, which holds 35 million volumes. It
will also be different because it will not be under
glass, and the public will be encouraged
to handle the books on display. She is delighted
and super optimistic about this event set
through Friday.
“We think the Library of Congress show
will raise awareness,” Berens said.

Crave’s federal legal fight is real ‘Cupcake Wars’
By KEVIN HARDEN
Pamplin Media Group
Sometimes cupcakes are
sweet and tasty treats.
Sometimes they’re stuck in
the messy middle of a trademark
infringement fight.
Lake Oswego’s Crave Bake
Shop, a winner on the Food
Network’s “Cupcake Wars,”
has found itself in a legal tussle
with a San Francisco bakery
of the same name over
which company has the rights
to use “Crave” to sell glutenfree
baked goods in the Northwest.
The Lake Oswego shop is suing
San Francisco’s Crave LLC
in federal court to block what
the local bakery says is a
threatened lawsuit on trademark
confusion. At the heart
of the lawsuit is the question of
who really owns the trademark
on “Crave” when it applies
to gluten-free baked
goods, and whether the Lake
Oswego bakery actually infringed
on the San Francisco
company’s trademark.
The Lake Oswego bakery’s
attorney, Elizabeth Tedesco
Milesnick of Miller Nash, is
asking a federal judge to declare
that the Oregon Crave
bakery’s trademark does not
infringe on the San Francisco
shop’s rights to use the name.
She also wants the court to
block any future legal action
by the San Francisco bakery
against the tiny Lake Oswego
shop, which plans to stop using
the name “Crave” sometime
in the next several
months.
“Crave LLC’s repeated
threats have created a reasonable
apprehension of litigation
and have brought into question
the (Lake Oswego) bake
shop’s right to phase out use of
its Crave Bake Shop mark on
its own timeline and without
liability for past damages to
Crave LLC,” wrote Milesnick
in her eight-page complaint
filed March 7.
Neither the San Francisco
bakery owner nor the owner of
the Lake Oswego bakery
would comment on the lawsuit.
No court date has been
set to hear the lawsuit.
Phasing out the name
Since 2009, Crave Bake Shop
founder Kyra Bussanich has
been baking gluten-free goodies
and selling them from the
small storefront on Lake Oswego’s
Fifth Street.
Bussanich started the bakery
after she was diagnosed at
age 20 with an autoimmune
disorder that meant she could
no longer eat some processed
foods. The small Lake Oswego
shop earned much of its fame
when it appeared on the Food
Network’s “Cupcake Wars”
program in 2010, 2011 and 2012,
winning the cooking competition
in December 2011 and
May 2012. Bussanich’s shop
also was the runner-up in the
June 2012 “Cupcake Champions”
competition.
Bussanich’s shop sells gluten-free
cupcakes and baked
goods with names like Velvet
Elvis, Pumpkin Carmel Sin,
Hawaii 5-0, Spicy Peach Bellini,
Giada’s Lemon Basil and
Ice Storm.
In March 2011, Lake Oswego’s
Crave Bake Shop filed the
paperwork to trademark its
name with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. The trademark
was granted in October
2012, months after trademark
officials sent a letter to the
Lake Oswego shop saying its
name and shop sign were not
similar to other registered
bakeries.
(A search of the Patent and
Trademark Office listings for
“Crave” turned up dozens of
businesses using some variation
of the name, including
restaurants, food service
companies and even a computer
software firm’s smart-

The legal fireworks began
between the Lake Oswego
Crave and Crave LLC in San
Francisco shortly after the
trademark was filed with federal
officials. Attorneys representing
Cameo Edwards, who
started the San Francisco bakery
in January 2003 to sell
gluten-free baked goods, sent
a letter to the Bussanich in
May 2011 demanding that she
change the name of her shop
to avoid possible confusion.
In the past year, Edwards
reached deals with distributors
to expand her bakery’s
sales into Oregon and other
parts of the Northwest. When
Bussanich asserted her right
to use the name in Lake Oswego,
the San Francisco bakery
threatened legal action. At
one point, the San Francisco
company demanded that the
Lake Oswego bakery pay it for
the privilege of using the
“Crave” name.
Bussanich’s attorney wrote
in the lawsuit that all the legal
problems could be resolved in
the next few months because
of “changes in (Lake Oswego
Crave’s) business, it would be
phasing out its use of the
Crave Bake Shop mark.”
Protecting the brand
At the same time the legal
correspondence was flying
back and forth between the
two bakeries, Edwards’ small
company was in the middle of
a similar federal lawsuit
against two California food
companies and Whole Foods
Market Inc. in Austin, Texas.
In mid-April 2012, attorneys
representing Edwards sued
Crave Foods LLC of Los Angeles,
Tony’s Fine Foods of Sacramento,
H.E. Butt Grocery of
San Antonio and Whole Foods
for trademark infringement.
Edwards claimed the companies
had used information
they gleaned from her company
to break into the glutenfree
bakery business on the
West Coast. The lawsuit was
eventually dismissed in October
2012 when Edwards
reached a settlement agreement
with the companies.
In a Feb. 28 blog post, Edwards
wrote that she had to
stop production at her bakery
for nearly a year to focus on
the legal battle in Texas.
“We have been building the
Crave brand since 2003 — the
first gluten-free bakery in San
Francisco,” Edwards wrote on
her blog. “While we were somewhat
flattered that other people
feel that ‘Crave’ was a great
name for a gluten-free business,
we knew it was extremely
important to protect the name
and reputation we built.”
Edwards said she would
continue to fight to protect her
company’s brand because
“strangely enough, we’ve
found other companies have
started gluten-free businesses
with the word ‘Crave’ in their
name.”
“As a result, we have had to
turn our attention and resources
to protecting our brand and
will continue to do so.”

Scam alert:
State warns
of two cases
involving
fake cops
Counterfeiting con,
unpaid traffic scam
both popping up
Two police impersonation
scams are percolating
throughout Oregon and the
Oregon Justice Department
and the Oregon State Police
are issuing warnings about
both.
Of concern are a counterfeiting
con and an unpaid traffic
scam. According to a press release
issued jointly by both
agencies, here’s the way the
two scams operate:
Counterfeiting con
In this con, scammers call
individuals at home claiming
to be a police officer conducting
an investigation of counterfeit
money. They ask you to
withdraw cash so they can “inspect”
it. The bogus officer
then disappears with your
cash. It sounds hard to believe,
but in the last few months, the
Portland Police Bureau and
the Multnomah Country Sherriff’s
Office each received reports
of scammers, posing as
detectives, conning just two
people out of more than
$50,000.
The police do not need your
money to investigate a counterfeit
crime ring, said spokesmen
for OSP and the OJD.
“We would never approach a
citizen to assist us in an investigation
of this type,” said OSP
Spokesman Gregg Hastings.
Unpaid traffic scams
Scammers claiming to be
with OSP are also placing prerecorded
phone calls to Oregonians
telling them they owe
$154 for unpaid traffic tickets.
These calls, which begin with a
siren sound, are fraudulent
and should be ignored.
OSP first got word of the
scam on March 26, when a citizen
reported getting a call
from a restricted number. An
automated voice identified
himself as “Alex James Murphy
with the Oregon State Police.”
The caller stated a
“bench warrant” had been issued
on an unpaid speeding
ticket issued on Interstate 205.
The prerecorded call gave
further instructions to get a
Green Dot MoneyPak reloadable
debit card and place $154
on the card, then call back another
phone number with an
203 area code and provide the
Green Dot MoneyPak card
number and security code to
pay the citation and avoid further
legal action.

MAVERICKNOTES
By Eleanor Van Buren
If you’re lost,
you’re found
After experiencing my fourth, and final,
field studies at Riverdale High
School, I’ve found it challenging to
sum up what spending a week with
your classmates and teachers outside of the
classroom is like.
I embarked on new adventures with familiar
friends; I felt uncomfortable but was later
comforted; I learned new things that I will never
forget; I laughed about things I will surely
forget. As I begin to close my four years of
high school, I realize that field studies reflect
just what these years have meant to me.
Field studies at Riverdale are weeklong
learning trips to locations around Oregon that
have different focuses and themes. Each trip
departs the week before spring break and involves
a service learning aspect either before
departure or during the week. Traditionally
in their senior year, students sign up for a
geological hiking trip in southeastern Oregon.
This year, 20 seniors, myself included, traveled
six hours by bus to Lake County’s Summer
Lake, more of a sprawling pond into a salt
flat, no more than 15 feet at its deepest.
Situated at the bottom of a basin featuring
mountains as walls we would later climb, the
lake is a reminder of a much larger body of
water that occupied the crater in the latest
glacial melt. On the surrounding mountains,
which went as far as the eye could see, were
geological timelines — lines within the rock
that captured where the water level was at
one point in time.
On our first full day, we crossed a cattle
ranch to hike up one of the nearby cliffs. We
followed a natural ridge towards the top, a
mix of climbing and crumbling as rock piles
held one and then gave way to another. At
4,800 feet in elevation, we ate lunch overlooking
the entire basin. It was the nicest day of
the trip, with clear sunshine all around and
the warm high desert air. Awaiting us after an
afternoon of hiking, and the only incentive to
leave such a beautiful view, were natural hot
springs, which form at the edge of the lake.
On the property where we were staying, a
bathhouse, which circulates the spring water,
became somewhat of a sanctuary, albeit a
smelly one, from the dust and wind. It was
sulphuric and lavish all at the same time.
Later that night, we bunked in tents out under
the stars. We soon stopped romanticizing
though, for Summer Lake showed us her infamous
winds. Around three in the morning, we
ran for the ranch house, dragging our sleeping
pads and bags along to spend the remainder
of the night inside. This experience was
somewhat fortuitous though. Right when I
stuck my head out from my tent during the
wind fiasco, I saw the biggest, brightest shooting
star that streaked gold and orange across
the midnight sky, captivating the whole of my
attention for three, still seconds. It amazes me
how infinitely small the chances of me seeing
the shooting star were, and I was sure to
count it as lucky.
The next day, we took a bus to see two geological
phenomena. First, we drove to Christmas
Valley, the site of Crack in the Ground, an
explorable fissure resembling its name. We
scrambled, a mix of hiking and bouldering,
through the cavernous walls, using each other
for support during icy stretches. After lunch,
we traveled to Fort Rock, appropriately named
for its fortress-like appearance. Once again,
we were blessed with good weather, which
gave way to great attitudes as we approached
the behemoth ahead of us. We hiked through
its valley up to a peak on the left-side brim.
Not much of a heights person, I would never
have thought to climb to the highest point on
Fort Rock, and I couldn’t have done it without
all the encouragement of those beside me.
The view was spectacular, an endless desert
flat beneath us and the world at our feet. I
couldn’t help but feel like I was looking out beyond
my future after Riverdale. Around me
were those who helped me get there: teachers,
study buddies, friends — a family. Like
our unifying week at Summer Lake, we got to
the top of every small boulder and tall peak
together in high school: theory of knowledge
discussions to rock identification quizzes,
midterm exams to art project finals. As we
posed for a group picture, I realized how
grateful I am for my high school relationships.
Field studies allowed me to step back from
the physicality of high school life: the building,
doorways and lockers. Riverdale High School
is not just a building or a name; it’s knowing
someone will pull you through icy stretches in
a cavern and cheer for you as you brave new
heights and challenges. By losing myself in
“Oregon’s outback,” I found the family that’s
been with me through this amazing journey.

riverdale teen transforms
passion into teaching gig
Logan Rooper makes
school history with project
By JILLIAN DALEY
The Review
Logan Rooper isn’t just a Riverdale High
School senior.
Rooper is a Riverdale teacher.
The 18-year-old isn’t a student aide, nor
is he covering light material. This trimester, the
school began offering Rooper’s advanced science
class, the first student-created and student-led
course at Riverdale. Called Exploratory Ventures,
or XV, students implement laser-sharp
technology to study the environment, kicking off
the course by examining what plagues the sea:
rising water levels, temperatures
and toxicity levels.
“The
oceans are
a major
piece to
humanity’s
existence
on earth,
yet we only
know very
little about
them.”
— Logan Rooper,
Riverdale High
School senior
“The oceans are a major piece
to humanity’s existence on
earth, yet we only know very little
about them,” Rooper said.
“It’s imperative that humans
study the ocean, so why not
start in high school”
His class has two parts. His
students hit the textbooks, absorbing
information on physical
oceanography, geology, marine
biology and ecosystems, marine
technology and an introduction
to robotics and computer science.
Students are applying
what they’re studying, but not
with an ordinary lab.
They’re building modules that
serve as tiny testing labs. On
May 29, the students will troop
over to Newport to put the modules
into action. Attached to a 200-pound remoteoperated
vehicle, students will send them 120 feet
down into the water.

Rooper said a friendly sea
captain partially donated the
use of his 45-foot deep-sea fishing
boat. How long the ROV is
submerged depends on how
sick the students get while
rocking on the boat, possibly
two to four hours, Rooper said.
Riverdale senior Avi Berne
said he hasn’t chosen what his mini-lab will assess
— it is week two of the class after all. So far,
Berne, a friend of Rooper’s, loves the class.
“I think it’s one of the greatest ideas to come to
Riverdale,” said Berne, 18.
XV sprung from the Near Space Venture project
Rooper did for kicks last summer with his
classmates, shooting a vehicle more than 70,000
feet into the sky and taking video of the view below.
In the wake of a successful launch, Rooper
wanted to continue. A classmate’s parent asked if
he’d considered transforming the project into a
class, he said. At first it seemed an overwhelming
undertaking.
“I said no, there’s no way I’m doing that,”
Rooper said. “But then I got sucked into it. It’s
been fantastic.”
He decided he wanted to explore oceans this
time and approached Riverdale Principal Paula
Robinson with the idea. She approved and said
Rooper has exhibited exemplary knowledge and
character.
“He’s demonstrated accuracy, motivation and

tenacity,” Robinson said.
The only wrinkle has been funding. Rooper
spent the first two trimesters planning curriculum,
pushing through paperwork to allow the
class and creating a funding plan. Riverdale had
no spare cash for the class, but the community
came through with $4,800. This year’s budget is
$4,298, according to course materials. Rooper said
he will put any leftovers toward next year.
“I was very impressed with the level of interest
and engagement in the community,” he said.
Robinson said the school lacks the staffing to
run XV, so another student will have to step up
and take the reins to continue it. Rooper is optimistic
that someone will.
“There are a lot of students in the class who
are very, very talented,” Rooper said.
He added that some of them helped him come
up with ideas for his coursework. The class is
full, and there’s a waiting list, so the demand is
there.
Rooper has applied to 11 colleges and said he is
interested in computer science and environmental
studies but doesn’t yet know what his major
will be. He’s been accepted by schools including
Duke University, landing a place in its engineering
school.
A fan of the way things work since he was a
child, he has gone from visits to Oregon Museum
of Science and Industry to advanced science in a
short period. Last year, he completed a research
internship in cryptography and network security
at Portland State University. The study of climate
change is a passion of his that arose after seeing
news stories and former Vice President Al Gore’s
“An Inconvenient Truth.”
He’s not sure where it will take him, but teaching
his course has thrilled him.
“It’s been fantastic,” Rooper said. “People have
been helping me along every step of the way.”

Lakeridge student places at state
snowboard championships
Teen takes
third out of 84
By JILLIAN DALEY
The Review
“The two
snowboarders
who beat him
were both
seniors, which
effectively
makes him the
fastest
competing
sophomore in
the state.”
— Paul Leib, Graham
Leib’s father
A Lakeridge High School
sophomore snagged a trophy
during the Oregon Interscholastic
Snowboard
Association State Championships.
Graham Leib, 16, placed
third out of 84 students in the
Banked Slalom finals. Athletes
race up, around or down
berms - banked snow - to complete
the curvy course. The
contenders
in the tournament
last month
w e r e
plucked
from a pool
of hundreds
during
cont
e s t s
throughout
the season.
“The two
snowboarders
who
beat him
were both
seniors,
which effectively
makes him
the fastest competing sophomore
in the state,” said his father,
Paul Leib.
The young man has been
hitting the slopes since he was
5 years old. It’s a family affair.
His 11-year-old brother, Shaun
Leib, slides over the snow on
skies, and his mom and dad
also snowboard.
“I followed in my father’s
footsteps,” Graham Leib said.
He said it feels amazing to
be doing so well so early in his
athletic career, competing
against upperclassmen in the
sport. He hopes to step into the
top slot in the Banked Slalom
Competition when he’s a senior.
“In the years to come, I’ll
just keep getting better and
better and better,” he said. “It
just really feels good.”
Pushing himself to improve,
he spends most weekends on
Mount Hood when it has a
white top or there’s a competition.
He practices with his
team on Thursdays at Mt.
Hood Meadows ski resort from
mid-December to mid-March.
Eating healthily is another
way he fine-tunes his game.
His mostly vegetarian parents
serve a lot of salad and tofu at
home, although he says he’s
more of an omnivore. Some of
his game is mental, fighting
through the weariness that
dogs him during the season.
“I’m always tired,” he said.
To prepare for a race he
gives the course a run-through
while listening to hip-hop’s
Wu-Tang Clan or hits from
late rapper Tupac Shakur.
Graham Leib also visualizes
his downward glide before he

faces off against the other
snowboarders — and the
clock. His best time was within
less than a second of the first
and second place winners during
the state tournament, flying
through the snowy obstacle
course in 35.17 seconds.
“I just look forward to his
junior and senior years,” said
David Young, head coach of
the Lakeridge snowboard
team. “I think he could move
past his third place in state. I
think he could win.”
Young said in his 13 years
coaching at Lakeridge he has
only seen a few athletes show
Leib’s prowess as a sophomore.
His humble nature and
devotion to the sport also
make him stand out.
“I don’t see him in the lodge
very much when everyone else
is taking breaks and everything,”
Young said. “He’s out
there snowboarding.”
Graham Leib also is a member
of the varsity baseball
team and made Lakeridge’s
honor roll last semester.
“We are very proud of him,
to say the least,” Paul Leib
said.

School fundraiser set
Westridge Elementary School is
launching a paver fundraiser for its playground
improvement project.
The Westridge parents group is selling
personalized bricks to support the project.
Construction on the $467,652 project
is scheduled to begin this summer.
The bricks sold in the Pathway to Play
campaign will be laid down to create
paths. It costs $125 for three lines of text
on a 4-by-8-inch brick, $250 for six lines of
text on an 8-by-8-inch brick and $500 to
apply a child’s art to an 8-by-8-inch brick.
There’s also a personalized and weather
resistant bench available for $2,000.
The parent group’s website states the
initial brick sale ends April 15.
The website states the playground
equipment is worn, growing enrollment
from recent elementary school closures
is putting a strain on existing playground
equipment and inadequate drainage
causes ground saturation during the wet
season.
Phase I of the project, estimated to cost
$173,865, will include drainage repairs,
black-top resurfacing, adding an outdoor
amphitheater and installing new basketball
hoops. Phase II’s anticipated cost is
$293,787, and it will include replacing
playground structures.

for five years before transitioning to her
current position three years ago.
Lachman, who started teaching in
1972, said she loves her job.
“I enjoy everything about being the
principal, greeting the children in the
morning and helping everyone do their
best, planning all of the activities and helping
choose next year’s teachers,” she said.
She now plans to focus on other passions.
She raises animals including horses,
dogs, ducks and chickens on a farm
near Newberg. She shows her American
Saddlebred horses and takes her dogs to

Cross country and
track teams pitch in
By JILLIAN DALEY
The Review
A more than three-year project
to improve Springbrook Park’s
paths finishes this Friday.
Lake Oswego High School cross
country and track team members
are almost done laying gravel on 1.9
miles of paths in the 52-acre park.
An Eagle Scout also earned his
wings by naming the paths and constructing
signs for them.
“It gives me a lot of confidence in
our youth when these kids show
up,” said Paul Lyons, a co-founder of
Friends of Springbrook Park.
Lake Oswego head track coach
Eric Lider asks his
cross country students
to help out in
the fall and the
track team to pitch
in during a school’s
community service
day in the spring.
Lider said the park is crucial to the
teams’ training. The cross country
team high-tails it down the Springbrook
paths during training, and
the track team rushes past the hardwood
trees, red cedars and Douglas
firs in the spring.
The trees shade the students
when the sun is beating down on
them, and using the park paths is a
better option than pounding the
pavement along Country Club Road,
Lider said.
“It’s a way to get the kids off the
street in a safe environment,” he
said.
LOHS senior Alex Tymchenko
has been shoveling and hauling
gravel for the entirety of the Springbrook
Park project. Tymchenko
said it makes sense to perform community
service.
“We can’t take advantage of all
these resources that we are given to
use,” said Tymchenko, 17.
Lyons has taken tons of photos,
and in many of them students are
beaming, which senior Madi Egan
said is not surprising, even though
the work isn’t easy.
“The whole team is there, and everyone
is rallied around that central
cause: I think it’s easy to be upbeat
about it,” said Egan, 17.
Eagle Scout Connor Kelly said his
time on the track and cross country
teams inspired him to focus on the
park when he was seeking the the
Boy Scouts of America’s highest
rank. Kelly also lives near Springbrook
Park and frequents the trails
with his family.
His youngest sister inspired him
to name the trails after the plants
that spring up around them, such as
trillium, snowberry, cedar and white
oak. His family and Boy Scout Troop
71 helped him soldier through the
five-month project.
“I wanted to do something that
would last,” he said.
Lyons and three other area residents
launched the effort to improve
Springbrook Park 10 years ago. At
the time, the park was blanketed in
weeds and bereft of paths. The students
helped him change that.

$5,000 per biennium for the park,
and now it’s about half that with
most of the funding going toward
plants and gravel, he said. It’s difficult
to round up a pack of volunteers
as large as the crowd of students
who readily offer assistance,
making their services critical to
park maintenance, Lyons added.
He expects the trails to last for
five to 10 years, although they may
need some patching. He doesn’t
want students to stop helping now
that the paths are done because
there’s plenty to do, including yanking
invasive ivy out of the earth and
assisting with an upcoming watershed
restoration project. But, whatever
they’re doing to help, the students
boost his spirits.
“I really enjoy being around them,
the energy, the camaraderie, the
teamwork,” Lyons said.

against
strong competition.
The team’s five varsity
players, Cole
Madey, Clayton
Madey, Alex Wrenn,
Brock Anderson
and Riley Elmes
have all finished

The Review
The Lake Oswego girls
tennis team will look to continue
its impressive run this
year with a very strong
group of veterans and exciting
younger players.
While the Lakers are strong
at the top of the line-up and
very deep once again, getting a
large contingent through to
state will be a challenge in a
very competitive league.
“We have very good depth
and are strong throughout the
line-up with many interchangeable
players,” coach Susan Branam
said.
Lake Oswego has an impressive
1-2 punch in singles, featuring
returning senior Blair
Dozois and freshman Katie
Day. Those two should both
split time in the top spot
throughout the season.
Libby Dozois also returns as
a talented singles player for
the Lakers along with Anna
Meyer.
At doubles, Lake Oswego has
a handful of very strong combinations.
Caroline Dorman and freshman
Natalie Perry are currently
slotted at No. 1 while other
athletes could contend for that
position.
The team of Celia Moore and
Claire Murphy are currently
filling in at No. 2 doubles and
Morgan Reno and Holly Mindemann
play at No. 3.
The Lakers feature a strong
JV squad as well and, with the
team’s depth, different combinations
will likely be used
throughout the season.
In practices, the team has
been focusing on court movement,

The Lake Oswego girls
golf team returns its entire
varsity line-up from last
year and hopes to give Canby
a battle for the second
team berth at state this year
behind talented West Linn.
The Lakers return their top
five players from last year including
two-time state qualifier
Alexa Huewe.
Stephanie Bell is also back
and is coming off her best competitive
round, an 87 and could
be in the running for an individual
state beth as well.
“I always thought she was
someone who could consistently
shoot in the 80s,” coach
Mark Shoff said.
Jessica Lee has also made
strides and Shoff believes her
scores can only come down in
the coming weeks.
“She’s hitting the ball really
well. She’s striking it well on
her drives and shots, she’s just
not seeing that translate to
scoring right now and I think
she’ll keep improving,” Shoff
said.
Taylor Yob has been an early
bright spot for the team as well
as Claire Carter, the younger
sister of standout Max Carter.
Claire Carter just recently
picked up the game and broke
100 for the first time in the
team’s last tournament.
“She’s someone who could
really open some eyes this
year,” Shoff said.

doubles teams and being
strong at the net.
Lake Oswego figures to be
one of the toughest teams in
the league this year and has aspirations
to take home another
TRL title.
“We always have the goal of
personal improvement for each
individual. As a team, we would
like to win the league championship
and send players on to
the state tournament,” Branam
said.
Before spring break, Lake
Oswego knocked off crosstown
rival Lakeridge 7-1.
The Lakers swept the singles
side with Day and Blair Dozois
winning in straight sets at Nos.
1 and 2 singles respectively.
Libby Dozois did the same at
third singles while Mayer
ground out a tough three-set
victory at fourth singles.
In doubles, Dorman and Perry
won convincingly at No. 1 as
did the team of Mindemann
and Reno at No. 3 and Murphy
and Bridget Mayers at No. 4.
Strong leadership
and young talent
highlight Lakeridge
this year
By MATT SHERMAN
The Review
The Lakeridge girls tennis
team features a strong mix
of leadership and youth on
this year’s team which hopes
to be competitive in the rigid
Three Rivers League.
The Pacers return two
strong senior captains in Brittany
Dales and Kate Kitto and
junior captains Anna Seydel
and Shea Northfield, all who
have extensive varsity experience.
“We’re a cohesive group
with strong leadership and we
have depth with some new
freshman talent,” coach Char
Anderson said.
Dales won the consolation
bracket in singles at state last
year and returns as the team’s
No. 1 player this year with Seydel
filling in at No. 2 for the Pacers.
Lakeridge features a strong
doubles contingent with Stacey
Strovink and Katie Ellis playing
at No. 1 and Kitto and
Northfield at No. 2.
In the team’s first league
match against Lake Oswego
this year, the Pacers fell 7-1 but
Kitto and Northfield picked up
an impressive victory 6-3, 6-4.
Kavya Sreedhar and Marie
Kanapeaux are also expected
to be strong singles players for
Lakeridge this season.
Rounding out the bracket in
doubles, the team of Olivia
Onustock and Kristin Taylor
will be a force at No. 3 doubles

defense key Pacer
softball team
Lakeridge returns
two strong starters
on a team that’s
solid in the fundamentals
By MATT SHERMAN
The Review
The Lakeridge softball
team is off to a solid start
this year under a new coach
who hopes to bring some
stability to the program.
Mickenzie Alden was a late
hire heading into the season
but she was impressed with the
group of players she inherited.
“Coming in, I didn’t really
know what to expect. I hadn’t
really been looking for a head
coaching job but I took a look at
the team on the first day of
practice and I was shocked that
they hadn’t won more games
last year. There’s a lot of talent
especially with the way they
play defense,” Alden said.
The Pacers return both of
their starting pitchers from last
season, giving the team a very
strong foundation and some of
the most experience at that position
in the league.
Both Kaylin Rooney and
Chase Pearson should see plenty
of innings on the mound this
year and both are middle-ofthe-order
hitters for Lakeridge
as well, switching off at first
base while the other player is
pitching.
“They both have a lot of high
school experience and know
how to pitch in the TRL,” Alden
said.
Pitching and defense figure
to be the cornerstones for the
Pacers this year. Lakeridge is
fundamentally sound in the
field and Alden believes that, if
the offense continues to improve,
the team could be very
formidable this season.
“The offense definitely has
while Emily Gauci and Yumi
are currently filling in at No. 4.
Lakeridge is also a deep
squad this year with strong
freshmen and JV players who
could see varsity time.
So far this year, Lakeridge
has seen plenty of court time
due to the good early weather
which has given the team a
chance to practice more than
usual.
“We’ve been focusing on
good fundamentals and, as we
head into a heavy match schedule,
we are adding doubles and
singles strategy into the mix,”
Anderson said.
The league figures to be very
strong this year with Lake Oswego
leading the way as the
presumptive favorite. Grant
potential and I think our pitching
will keep us in games,” Alden
said.
In the line-up this year, Erica
Saporito and Alicia Loiler will
share catching duties with Loiler,
who has one of the strongest
arms on the team, also seeing
time in the outfield.
Lakeridge has a versatile infield
with four or five players
who can fill in at various positions.
Bailey Morris and Amy
Adler are both strong defensively
while Annie Griffin has
been an anchor at shortstop.
“She’s soft of our silent leader.
She’s quiet but she’s a gogetter,”
Alden said.
Katie Barton and Anne Monroe
will also see time in the infield
this year.
Alongside Loiler in the outfield,
Shequina Boe will handle
centerfield duties as perhaps
the team’s quickest players.
Freshman Sammy Danchok
will also get time in the outfield.
Early in the season, Alden
has been focusing on getting
the team acclimated to her system
and bringing structure to
the team.
“They’ve seen a lot of different
style in the past few seasons
but a lot of these girls
have grown up playing together.
I’m just trying to get them
comfortable with my approach
and trying to develop good hitters,”
Alden said.
Alden is also trying to instill
a sense of confidence in the
team which seems to have taken
effect.
The Pacers are 4-3 to start
the year, most recently coming
off a 4-3 victory over The Dalles
Wahtonka in extra innings.
Lakeridge hopes to be very
competitive in a balanced but
wide open Three Rivers League
this year.
“I think we’re very capable
of finishing in the top-three
and this team wants to be
there,” Alden said.

and West Linn also feature
some very strong individual
players.
“Our goal is to be mentally
and physically prepared to play
each and every match as competitively
as possible so we can
place in the top three in the
league,” Anderson said.
The Pacers are also working
to get players and doubles
teams seeded for the district
tournament to improve their
prospects for qualifying players
for state.
Lakeridge picked up an important
league victory earlier
this week, knocking off West
Linn 5-3 in a match that featured
a handful of impressive
comebacks.

Lake Oswego Review, Lake Oswego, OR April 4, 2013
Numbers up again for LO track program
SPORTS A23
Multiple district
place-winners return
for the Lake Oswego
boys and girls teams
By MATT SHERMAN
The Review
The Lake Oswego track
team has strong numbers
again and features some of
the top talent in the league
this season.
The Laker boys team has a
handful of returning district
place-winners mixed in with a
crop of young, new faces that
should make the squad formidable
this year.
The Lakers are particularly
strong and deep in the sprints
with Eric and David Soo returning
and Yong Kim primed
for a potential breakout season.
“He’s a guy who could really
turn a lot of heads this year,”
coach Eric Lider said.
That depth should also give
Lake Oswego some very strong
relay teams.
“I think our sprint corps is
probably where we’re strongest
this year at least in terms
of numbers,” Lider said.
Kyle Gazzigli is back in the
400 as well as two of the top
hurdlers in the league.
Alex Tymchenko is a returning
district champion and Connor
Bracken should also compete
for a berth at state this
year.
Freshman Rocky Martin has
also made noise for the team
early in the season in both the
200 and the 400.
The team also returns high
jumper Mason Collett, who
posted a top-five finish at state
last year. Dane Jones has also
been strong in the high jump
early in the season.
Lake Oswego is solid in the
distance events as well led by
Phil Kearns and Matt Agritelley
although the team’s top distance
runner, Todd Macdonald,
is still suffering from a foot injury
he sustained late in the
cross country season last fall.
In the throwing events, football
linemen Noah and Kyle Peterson
are both out for track
for the first time and have been
strong in the discus and shot
put as well as Michael Di Re.

Lake Oswego’s Connor Bracken returns as one of the league’s best hurdlers, along with teammate Alex
Tymchenko for a very strong boys squad.
In the jumps, the Lakers lack
experience but Charlie Callen
has been an early bright spot.
“With what we have coming
back, I’d think we’ll be pretty
competitive this year,” Lider
said.
For the girls, Lake Oswego
returns Riley Hatfield, who
qualified for state in the 100 last
year as a freshman.
The Lakers also have a very
strong returning hurdler in Mitra
LeBuhn.
Lake Oswego’s distance
crew, led by Shea Vallaire and
Becca Miles should also rack
up points in meets this season.
Erika Treske has had a
strong start to the season in
more than a handful of events.
Treske is perhaps the team’s
most versatile athlete, competing
in everything from the
hurdles and pole vault to the
long jump and shot put.
“We’ll move her around a bit
this year. She does a lot of heptathlon
events for us,” Lider
said.
Emily Prasil will specialize
in the long jump and triple
jump this year and the Lakers
also feature a pair of talented
pole vaulters in Anna Peaslee
and Marissa Taylor.
A freshman could also be a
highlight for the team this year
in Samarra Watson, who focuses
on the middle distance
events.
“There’s not quite as much
experience coming back on the
girls side but it’s a great group
of kids and fun to coach,” Lider
said.
Lake Oswego’s next event
will be the Laker Classic at
home this Friday featuring
some top competition.
LOSC makes waves at
Oregon 11-14 state meet

fared very well with the relay
team of Kyle Vu, Paul Dartu,
Edward Kang and Jordan Leis
taking 6th in the 400 Medley
Relay and 5th in the 200 Medley
Relay.
LOSC head coach, Emily Melina
adds that she is proud of
all of LOSC’s athletes swimming
at this meet.
Her swimmers trained hard
all season to go all out and
swim fast at this year’s SC state
meet.
Next up for LOSC is their
highly anticipated home meet
at the LOSD community pool
on April 12-14.

Smith should also vie for varsity
time.
In two league tournaments
this year, the Lakers have finished
third, behind West Linn
and Canby.
However, the Lakers finished
behind the Cougars by
36 strokes to open the season
and then by just nine in the
second tournament and Shoff
feels that the team will only
get better this year.
“We’re capable of shooting
much better and I think it
could be a whole different story
later in the season,” Shoff
said.
The Lakers are in an early
hole as they aspire to a top-two
finish in league but it’s one
they can quickly crawl out of.
“Just relaxing is the key.
Their attitude is really good.
We were shooting in the 360s
last year and we’ve been in the
380s this year. I know the team
has the talent to get better and
hopefully we can make some
noise,” Shoff said.
Lake Oswego’s next tournament
will be played at Arrowhead.

replace the great Lou
Gehrig as the first baseman
for the New York Yankees.
Then he had to do something even
harder: Battle a false rumor that took
bitter root and threatened his career.
He succeeded at the first task, but
failed at the second. That was proven
beyond a doubt with what happened
to his son, Ray Dahlgren, when he
was pursuing his own baseball career
with the Houston Astros’ farm club in
Florida in the 1960s.
“One day my manager Joe Frazier
took me aside and we walked down
the left-field line,” said Dahlgren, a
resident of West Linn since 2006. “He
said, ‘I heard this thing about your
dad smoking
STORY BY
CLIFF NEWELL
marijuana.
You don’t do
that’ I answered
him, ‘I
SUBMITTED PHOTO

called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”
don’t do that and neither did my dad.’
Joe apologized and said, ‘The front
office wanted me to ask you that.’ ”
The rumor that he smoked marijuana,
a totally outrageous offense
for a Major League Baseball player in
the 1940s, was like a phantom that
Babe Dahlgren could never grapple
with because it never reached the
surface of public knowledge. You
could only tell it was there because
every stop in his career was a short
one, even though his awesome fielding
ability was attested to by some of
the greatest figures in the game and
he slammed as many as 23 home
runs in a season.
Baseball was the king of sports in
that era and the baseball press
picked up on the strange trajectory
of Babe Dahlgren’s career, with
famed baseball writer Joe Williams
calling him “something of a mystery
man” and columnists asking questions
like: Why was he dropped by
the Yankees in 1941 when they did
not have another first baseman on
their roster Why did the Chicago
Cubs release him after he led them in
runs batted in Why did the Philadelphia
Phillies let him go after he led
the team in batting
Shocked by this strange turn in his
career, Babe Dahlgren asked, “What
the hell is happening” He did all he
could to defeat the lie, even undergoing
drug tests. Nothing worked.
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis,
baseball’s commissioner, was quoted
as saying that anyone spreading such
a rumor deserved to be castrated.
But Landis did nothing to help Dahlgren,
and neither did any of the commissioners
who followed him.
At the end of his life, Dahlgren was
still fighting to reclaim a reputation
that had been so unfairly stained. He
was gathering materials for a book
until just before he died in 1996. That
task was taken up by his grandson,
Matt Dahlgren, and his book “Rumor
in Town” was published in 2007.
This is still the subject of pain for
Ray Dahlgren, once a pitching prospect,
who still looks big and strong
enough to fire a ball through a wall.
He has nothing but the dearest memories
of his beloved father. Babe
Dahlgren was a heckuva baseball
player and an even better man, even
though fate threw a beanball at him.
The fortunate thing about Dahlgren’s
career is that the thing millions
of old baseball fans remember
about him involves baseball’s most
moving story — the day Lou Gehrig
took himself out of the lineup on May
2, 1939, and wished luck to Babe
Dahlgren. The action ended Gehrig’s
2,130-consecutive-game streak and
stunned a nation. The answer to this
mystery was even more stunning —
Gehrig had a disease that would not
only end his baseball career but also
end his life just two years later.
Ray Dahlgren’s home in the Willamette
Falls area has a room filled

in the 1960s.
with memorabilia, with a big part of
it devoted to that famous day. Photos
show Gehrig and Babe Dahlgren sitting
together.
“Dad begged Lou to go in there in
the seventh, eighth and ninth innings
to keep his streak alive. He said, ‘Lou,
you’ve got to go in there,’ ” Ray Dahlgren
said. “Lou just told him, ‘You’re
doing fine.’ ”
Gehrig could not always keep up a
brave front.
“In dad’s interview with Keith Olbermann,
he told about sitting next
to Johnny Murphy, the relief pitcher
and seeing Gehrig at the water fountain
with his back to them. Dad told
Murphy, ‘Johnny, he’s crying.’ Johnny
threw a towel that landed right on
Lou’s head and he used it to wipe his
face.”
Another of his photos shows his
dad among the sad-faced players
lined up as Gehrig gave his “Luckiest
Man” speech before the most massive
and emotional crowd ever seen
at Yankee Stadium.
How well did Babe Dahlgren replace
the immortal Gehrig Pretty
darn well. The 1939 Yankees had one
of the most dominating seasons in
baseball history, going 106-45 and
flattening the hapless Cincinnati
Reds in the World Series for their
fourth consecutive championship.
Babe Dahlgren batted only .234, but
he provided punch at the plate with
15 home runs and 89 RBIs. In the
World Series he ignited the Yankees
rout by slamming a home run in
Game 1.
But it was his fielding that really
lifted the Yankees.
“I would
see your
dad ready
to field
when I got
up to bat,
ready to
battle me
to the end.
I said to
him, ‘You
SOB, I’ll
drive the
ball down
your
throat.’ I
never did.”
— Baseball
legend Ted
Williams talking to
Ray Dahlgren
about his father,
Babe Dahlgren
Perhaps that is best
illustrated by a story
from the game’s
greatest hitter.
“At spring training
Ted Williams came
up to me and said, ‘If
there was anyone I
wanted to beat with
my bat it was your
dad,’ ” Ray Dahlgren
said. The Splendid
Splinter explained,
“It’s too bad you never
saw your dad play.
He was unequivocally
the greatest fielder
I’ve ever seen in my
life, because he took
plenty of base hits
from me.
“I would see your
dad ready to field
when I got up to bat,
ready to battle me to
the end. I said to him,
‘You SOB, I’ll drive
the ball down your
throat.’ I never did.”
Ray Dahlgren
proudly displays photos
that show his
dad’s fielding prowess,
stretching, leaping and diving to
spear line drives and errant throws
or tagging out baserunners.
Unfortunately, it was a couple of
errors that Dahlgren committed in
the 1940 American League pennant
race that laid the shaky basis for his
downfall. The mighty Yankees lost,
and their manager blamed Babe
Dahlgren.
“His arms are too short,” Joe Mc-
Carthy said.
This reason struck baseball insiders
as ludicrous, because Dahlgren’s
greatness as a first baseman was universally
acknowledged. Just a few of
the premier personalities praising
him were John Lardner, one of the
greatest sportswriters who ever
lived; Shirley Povich, who had the
longest baseball writing career in
history; and Joe DiMaggio. Joltin’ Joe
had been Dahlgren’s friend since
childhood and he raved that Dahlgren
had “won more games with his
fielding than most pitchers win. He’s
so good that our other infielders have
become lazy.”

another reason he had let
Dahlgren go: He smoked marijuana.
From that moment on, Dahlgren

That averages out to six teams

When Babe Dahlgren, right , first arrived in the Big Leagues in 1935
with the Boston Red Sox, one of the first players to greet him was his
hero Lou Gehrig.
He later
found out
that one of
the people
most responsible
for perpetuating
the
false rumor
was Branch
Rickey, legendary
owner
of the Dodgers.
Still, even with a shadow always
hanging over him, Babe
Dahlgren shaped a wonderful
life. Ray Dahlgren gives vivid
testimony to that. Any baseball
fan visiting his home is in
for a tremendous treat. First
his dogs and cats shower you
with affection. Then his wife,
Diane Dahlgren, fixes you a
delicious toasted cheese sandwich
for lunch. Then Ray takes
decades off of your life by telling
baseball stories.
“He was a full-time dad. I
had a tremendous upbringing,”
Ray Dahlgren said.
Baseball fans still fondly remember
Babe Dahlgren, and
those memories are not tainted
by any phony scandal.
Ray and Diane Dahlgren
found that out when they visited
Yankee Stadium and got the
full VIP treatment from the
Yankees’ bombastic and controversial
owner George Steinbrenner
in 2006. The high
point came when the massive

scoreboard flashed the message
that Babe Dahlgren’s son
Ray and daughter-in-law Diane
were special guests of the
day. The sell-out crowd of
59,000 fans at Yankee Stadium
stood up and cheered.
“It was just unbelievable,”
said Ray Dahlgren, misting up
at the memory.
The baseball gods were finally
smiling on Babe Dahlgren.

Soroptomist International
of Lake Oswego/West Linn, a
volunteer organization for
business and professional
women, will present two special
awards at a ceremony
April 10.
The event will begin at 6:30
p.m. at the Holy Names Heritage
Center, 17425 Holy Names
Drivein Lake Oswego. The public
is invited to attend.
The club will give a $500
Women’s Opportunity Award
to Sarah Tedrick, 29, of Canby,
to improve her economic situation
through additional education
and training. Tedrick will
use the award to fulfill her
transfer requirements at
Clackamas Community College,
subsequently transferring
to Marylhurst University
while maintaining her psychology
major and preparing for
the masters in art therapy program.
Once she completes her
studies, Tedrick, a domestic
abuse survivor and sole provider
for her three children,
plans to become a child therapist
using art concepts to develop
recognition, reconnection
and life skills for troubled
youth.
The Women’s Opportunity
Awards program is Soroptomist
International of the
Americas’ major service project.
The organization is dedicated
to improving the lives of
women and girls, in local communities
and throughout the
world.
Tedrick will now advance to
the Soroptomist Northwest Region
level, where one recipient
will receive $5,000. The program
culminates with three finalists
receiving$10,000
awards.
The Lake Oswego/West Linn
Soroptomists chose Tedrick because
of her determination and
optimistic attitude, her 4.0
grade point average in college
and the excellent recommendations
she received.
Also at the awards ceremony
Samantha Wong will receive
the club’s Violet Richardson
Award, which honors young
women for volunteer action.
Wong, a 17-year-old Lake Oswego
High School junior, will
receive a $250 cash award for
her involvement with several
organizations. She created a
Red Cross youth club at LOHS
and spearheaded a fundraiser
for Superstorm Sandy. She coordinated
fire safety presentations
at four of the Lake Oswego
elementary schools. Wong
volunteers as a tutor at Buckman
Elementary School in
Portland and created a program
to teach clarinet and flute
lessons after school by borrowing
LOHS instruments to give
students an opportunity they
wouldn’t have otherwise.
Wong is most passionate
about her work with Catholic
Charities at Kateri Park, a lowincome
apartment complex in
Portland, which is home to refugees
from Somalia who suffered
tragedies in their homeland
when civil war broke out
in 1991. She is in charge of “Get
Artsy,” which allows young Somalian
children to express
themselves by working with
clay, feathers, glitter or just
drawing using supplies donated
by Catholic Charities.
Wong will now advance to
the Soroptomist Northwest Regional
level, where a $1,000 Violet
Richardson Award recipient
will be selected. At that level,
an additional $1,000 will be contributed
in honor of the recipient
to her volunteer organization.

Lucero shares family treasures of olives, oils
Visit the Bridgeport
Village tasting room for
a delicious adventure
It used to be we knew black olives
and green olives. The black
olives were special treats served
at holiday meals; kids capped
their fingers with them and ate them
by the handful. The green ones got
skewered with plastic swords and
then plopped into martinis.
Yes, eventually Americans were
introduced to Kalamata and other
Greek olives. But olives are ancient
fruits; why have we been so slow to
come to appreciate
Barb
Randall
Lifting
the fork
them Lucero California
Olive Groves
has given us the
needed nudge.
For three generations,
the Lucero family
has been farming
and producing olives
in groves in Corning,
California’s olive capital.
According to the
Lucero website,
grandfather Anthony
Lucero pressed
small batches of olive
oil in a handmill as holiday gifts
for years, and grandfather Pete
Johnston has grown table olives
nearly his whole life. When their
grandson Dewey Lucero was laid off
from his high tech job, he sat down
with the family; they decided to take
a risk and begin producing the family’s
extra virgin olive oil on a larger
scale.
“My mom grew up with the Luceros,
and Dewey came to us for financial
backing to get the company
started,” said Eric Mann, Lake Oswego
native and manager of the
Bridgeport Village Lucero Olive Oil
store. Lucky for us, the connection
was made.
Eric spent six months learning
about olives and olive oils from Dewey,
who was named chief executive
officer of the business, and other
family members before opening the
Bridgeport Village tasting room before
Thanksgiving, and the rest, as
the website says, is history.
Grown in the olive groves are multiple
varieties: sevillano, manzanillo,
mission, frantoio, arbequina, koroneiki,
ascolano and Kalamata. These
are used to produce both monovarietal
extra-virgin olive oils and blended
olive oils, crushed and infused olive
oils and tapenades. Lucero also
markets luscious balsamic vinegars
and uniquely flavored Little Thief
mustards.
“My favorites are ascolano extravirgin
olive oil, fruity olive oil, which
REVIEW PHOTO: BARB RANDALL
Lucero Olive Oil tasting bar has opened in Bridgeport Village. The shop sells olive oils,
balsamic vinegar, olives, tapenade and mustard.
My favorites I concur with Eric that the ascolano certified
EVOO is heavenly. I loved the wild cherry balsamic vinegar and
the tapenades and could probably eat a whole jar of any of the
table olives in an evening.
is great for dressings and finishing
proteins,” Eric said. “Ascolano is the
most awarded olive oil in North
America. We are the most awarded
olive oil company in the United
States.”
He invites all to come into the
shop and sample oils at the tasting
bar.
“Be sure to taste the Meyer lemon
and mandarin crushed extra virgin
olive oils,” he said. “We actually
crush the fruit with the olives in the
olive oil making process, so we are
going to be able to extract the natural
oils out of the rind of the fruit.
These both make amazing zesty extra-virgin
olive oils. I would say that
fish, chicken and salad dressings are
the best applications. And you can’t
go home without our traditional balsamic!
It is very viscous and is great
for dipping bread and making salad
dressings.”
My favorites I concur with Eric
that the ascolano certified EVOO is
heavenly. I loved the wild cherry balsamic
vinegar and the tapenades
and could probably eat a whole jar
of any of the table olives in an evening.
I like the fact that you can purchase
oils and vinegars in three sizes
of containers and the prices are
really reasonable.
Eric and his staff are extremely
knowledgeable about olives and the
processes used to create the products.
Book groups and others to encouraged
to arrange private tastings
with him.
The shop is located next to California
Pizza Kitchen at Bridgeport
Village. You will be glad Dewey took
the risk to share his family’s treasures
with the rest of the world.
The recipe today calls for Lucero’s
chocolate olive oil — delicious and
different. Enjoy it in baked goods or
over ice cream.
Bon appetite! Eat something wonderful!
Chocolate Olive Oil
and Hazelnut Brownies
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, at
least 70 percent cocoa, chopped
1/3 cup Lucero chocolate olive oil
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup lightly toasted hazelnuts,
chopped (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line an
8-inch square baking pan with a
lightly floured piece of parchment
paper.
Melt the chocolate on the stovetop
or in the microwave and whisk in
the oil. Let cool. Mix the flour and
salt together in a small bowl. In a
large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar
until pale, thickened and billowy,
about 5 minutes. Fold in the vanilla
and the cooled chocolate mixture,
and then fold in the flour and nuts,
stirring just until everything is combined.
Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 22 to 26 minutes. Cool
completely, then cut into squares.

Oil, as adapted from “Adventures
of an Italian food Lover” by Faith
Heler Willinger)

14 of 52 Sunday Dinners
A super simple but super special
Sunday dinner is “Lamb Chops with
Lemon.” Eric Mann, manager at
Lucero Olive Oil, suggests that using
Lucero’s crushed Meyer lemon olive
oil would produce amazing results
in this dish.
Start marinating the lamb on
Saturday and then grill the chops
on Sunday. Carry the lemon theme
through the meal by serving orzo
mixed with lemon, garlic and fresh
peas, grilled pita with fresh feta,
and, for dessert, lemon bars or
lemon sorbet with shortbread.
Lamb Chops with Lemon
Servings: 12. This recipe is easy
to reduce or multiply, depending on
the size of your crowd.
3 large shallots, minced
6 tablespoons chopped fresh
mint
6 tablespoons chopped fresh
oregano
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
24 lamb rib chops (from three 1
1/4- to 1 1/2-pound racks of
lamb, cut between bones into individual
chops)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon
peel
Fresh oregano sprigs, for garnish
Salt
Mix minced shallots, chopped
mint, chopped oregano, minced
garlic, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt
in small bowl. Press 1 rounded teaspoon
shallot-herb mixture onto
eye of each lamb chop. Turn chops
over onto large rimmed baking
sheet. Press remaining shallot-herb
mixture onto eye of each chop.
Cover lamb chops with sheet of
plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice and
lemon peel in small bowl until
slightly thickened and well blended.
Season lightly with salt and generously
with freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon oil mixture lightly over
chops. Turn chops over and spoon
remaining oil mixture over. Let stand
at room temperature 1 hour.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high
heat). Grill lamb chops to desired
doneness, about 3 minutes per
side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb
chops to platter. Garnish with fresh
oregano sprigs and serve. — BR

Easter potluck full of tasty treats
By LYNN DEPRETTO
For The Review, Tidings
The Easter Bunny had a feast at the
West Linn Adult Community Center
when he stopped by on March 29 for
the annual Easter Potluck Dinner.
Hams and turkeys were the main attractions
with a wide variety of scrumptious
delicacies to compliment them. A
holiday potluck at the senior center is
kind of like going to your favorite aunt’s
house for a holiday meal when you were
a kid. There are lots of your favorite foods
all in one place. There are sweet potatoes,
scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes and
gravy, homemade potato salad, lots of
deviled eggs (some with salad shrimp on
top) and desserts. LOTS of desserts!
The center was decorated in its Easter
finest enjoying a good-sized crowd. For
our holiday dinners (Easter, Thanksgiving
and Christmas) we request reservations
so we know how much meat to prepare.
A potluck dish is optional. For anyone
who would like to bring a dish that
serves at least 8, the cost of your dinner is
$2. For those attending without a dish to
share, the cost is $5. It’s
quite a bargain for such a
wonderful meal to enjoy
with great company. If
you haven’t attended one
of our holiday potluck
dinners before, keep it in
mind for the future.
Of course the gift shop
WestLinn
Adult community
center
was open to show off all of its great treasures.
It is the best kept secret in West
Linn, you know. So if you haven’t been in to
browse the goods, take the time Monday
through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to stop in
and see what is there that you can’t live
without!
Here are the upcoming week’s activities.

How do
you look
at aging
By MARY LANSING
For The Review, Tidings
By age 60 or so, most of
us have found positive
and inventive ways to
cope with what life
presents to us. We gather
these ways from many sources:
the media, science, education,
our parent figures and
past experience, to name a few.
We learn about aging in a
different manner, however,
where very little is based on
past experience. Instead, aging
is a process we encompass as
we move along. We embrace it
as we go, making our way
through our own personal experiences
on that journey. Few
of us are fortunate enough to
sit at the feet of a wise old sage
and learn what the joys and
pitfalls of aging will be.
The Institute of Noetic Sciences
has put together an
eight-session free workshop
called “Conscious Aging” that
examines the assumptions
about aging we make when we
have no map for the territory.
The lessons they present are
rich with heart and meaning,
including exploring self-limiting
beliefs and assumptions
about aging; developing a selfcompassion
to help cope more
effectively with the change,
worry and stress of aging; enhancing
connection and reducing
isolation from others and
the web of life; and reducing
fear and increasing acceptance
in the presence of death and
dying for ourselves and our
loved ones.
Each component of the IONS
workshop provides opportunities
for participants to tap into
their own inner guidance and
wisdom with the purpose of
helping participants bring hidden
beliefs and assumptions
into conscious awareness. The
means to this end for each
class are self reflection, free
writing, small and large group
debriefing and visionary ideas
and collective wisdom offered
by readings and teleseminars.
The Institute of Noetic Science
(ions.org) is a non-profit
research, education and membership
organization whose
mission is to support individual
and collective transformation
through consciousness,
educational outreach and engaging
a global learning community.
It was founded in 1973
by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar
Mitchell. A three-session pilot
project workshop will begin
May 1 at the Lake Oswego
Adult Community Center,
where participation will be
limited to a class of 20. It will
be co-led by Mary Lansing and
Lois Isbell. Call the LOACC for
further details at 504-636-3758.
Mary Lansing is a member of the
Lake Oswego Adult Community
Center.

Lake Oswego Review/West Linn Tidings Thursday, April 4, 2013
NEIGHBORS B7
Worries surfacing about impacts of HB 2056 on CCRCs
More than a dozen
years ago when I
started paying attention
to senior issues
I saw two major common
concerns: housing and money.
Repeatedly people told me
that they wanted to continue
living in their homes because
the only alternative — a horrible
one —was a nursing home.
There were visions of dormitories
and cafeterias and no privacy.
I never understood exactly
what all the problems were
with nursing homes but the
message was that if someone
could no longer stay in their
home and “age in place” it was
the best choice.
Now, there are caregivers to
help people stay longer in
their homes and alternative
housing choices that include
smaller houses, condos, apartments
and retirement communities
— some with and some
without continuing care. And
now one of the newer choices
for seniors is a CCRC. That’s a
Continuing Care Retirement
Community and that’s what I
considered when I realized it
was time to move. I was looking
for independent living but
wanted to be prepared if I
needed extra assistance.
That need for assistance became
a reality last year when
in a fall I fractured my knee
ArdisStevenson
stories for
positive aging
cap. The weeks I spent in
Mary’s Woods Continuing
Care were expensive as were
the ambulances to take me to
medical appointments, since a
splint meant I couldn’t bend
my knee and no one I knew
had a car that would accommodate
an unbent leg.
I paid my bills and benefited
from continuing to live in this
community. I did not expect
my neighbors to help me with
my medical expenses.
However, in the senior community
concerns about finances
continue and now a new
problem has arisen. The Oregon
State Legislature is considering
House Bill 2056, a proposed
bed tax that removes
the previous exemption of
CCRCs. The proposal is intended
to recover federal dollars
for Oregon’s Medicaid
nursing facilities. Of course,
that is no benefit to CCRCs
that don’t do business with
Medicaid.
I had little understanding of
what CCRCs can and can’t do.
Now what I do understand and
appreciate is the action of residents
here and at other
CCRCs. People are writing and
calling their representatives.
Some are attending hearings
in Salem. I see this as a new
opportunity for residents to
learn how government operates
and how citizens may be
able to influence results.
Statistics tell us that seniors
are the age group most likely
to vote. The fact that you are
reading this newspaper and
this column also suggests that
you are informed when you
vote. Whether or not you are
concerned about senior housing
choices that offer continuing
care, please continue to be
informed and to cast your ballots.
And thanks.

Oregon Children’s Theater presents:
‘GATHERING BLUE’
Lake Oswegan Stephanie
Roessler stars as Kira
Oregon Children’s Theatre and
First Stage Children’s Theater of
Milwaukee, Wisc., have collaborated
to co-commission “Gathering Blue,”
a play based on Newbery awardwinning
author Lois Lowry’s popular
book in “The Giver” series.
“Gathering Blue” is the third world
premiere collaboration between OCT
and Lowry and continues in OCT’s mission
of new play development.
The play is adapted by nationally
recognized playwright Eric Coble, who
has previously worked with OCT to
adapt original scripts for “Sacagawea,”
“The Giver” and “The Storm in the
Barn.”
Set in an apocalyptic landscape
where children are kept like animals
and human life is cheap, Kira, played
by Lake Oswego actress Stephanie
Roessler, learns the ugly truth about
the powers controlling her world. A
gifted weaver, her talent draws the attention
of the Council of Guardians.
Under their custody, she is tasked with
mending and embellishing the Singer’s
Robe — a precious ceremonial garment
depicting the Council’s version of the
history of their world. As she becomes
more entrenched she learns the horrifying
secrets that keep them all hostage.
As she weaves the story of the
past, can she use her knowledge to help
shape the future
Included in the cast are Andres Alcala
as Jamison, Dennis Kelly as Singer,
Cassie Greer as Katrina, Camille
Cettina as Vandara, Steele Clevenger
as Jo, Jeremy Howard as Thomas and
Peyton Symes as Matt.
The creative team includes Stan
Foote as director, Mark Haack in scenic
design, Sarah Gahagan in costume design,
Nat Bartos in lighting design,
Drew Dannhorn in props and Cecil Averett
in sound design and composition.
The show is recommended for children
age 9 and older. It will run April 27
through May 19 with Saturday performances
at 2 and 5 p.m. and Sunday
matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $18 to $28
for adults and $15 to $24 for children.
They can be ordered online at octc.org
or by calling the box office at 503-228-
9571.

Justin Brill to present benefit cabaret concert
Enjoy an evening of
Broadway songs, stories
By BARB RANDALL
The Review, Tidings
Direct from playing Boq on
the first national tour of “Wicked,”
Justin Brill will present an
evening of songs and stories
tracing his path from Annapolis,
Md., to Broadway and beyond.
This cabaret concert will be
held April 15 at 7 p.m. on the Headlee
Mainstage at Lakewood Center
for the Arts.
The event is a benefit for LTC’s
Rising Stars program, which provides
educational and performance
opportunities
for emerging
and established
talent.
Admission is $20
or $40, which includes
a post-performance
reception
with Brill.
“The show on
April 15 will be a
blast,” said Brill
from Tucson, Ariz., where he was
performing “Wicked.” “I’ll be singing
a collection of songs that I love,
some pop tunes as well as musical
theater standards. Selections
range from Billy Joel and Elvis to
Disney, Gershwin and Berlin. I’ll
also be sharing some life stories
and Broadway experiences that
“I’ll be singing a
collection of songs that
I love, some pop tunes
as well as musical
theater standards.”
— Justin Brill
had an impact on
my personal
growth and career.
Should be a
really fun night.”
Accompanying
Brill will be Chris
Hubbard, an accomplished
Portland
composer,
performer and
music director.
Prior to the concert, Brill will
conduct a two-day intensive master
class, geared toward actors interested
in auditioning for productions,
competitions, professional
training and college or conservatory
programs. Several of the master
class participants will have the
opportunity to perform with him
in the Monday performance.
This is Brill’s second year leading
master classes at LTC.
“When ‘Wicked’ was in Portland
last year, Steve Knox reached
out to our company to see if anyone
was interested in teaching a
master class at Lakewood,” Brill
said. “I’ve been interested in
teaching for a few years now and
jumped at the opportunity to work
with the actors at Lakewood. We
put together a master class geared
around audition pieces and I gave
individual as well as group feedback
on acting and vocal performance.”
Information about the master
classes and tickets is online at
Lakewood-center.org or by calling
the box office at 503-635-3901.
Justin Brill will
present a
cabaret concert
of favorite
Broadway songs

Christine Yvette gets push
from LO friends on new CD
By CLIFF NEWELL
The Review, Tidings
For her first solo CD venture
as a recording artist,
Christine Yvette got a little
help from her friends in Lake
Oswego.
The singer-song writer who
resides in Wilsonville didn’t
have to go far to obtain help on
the finishing touches of her new
CD “Heartsong.” She lined up
Howard Givens of Spotted Peccary
Music NW to make the final
mix and mastering of her
music, and for the photography
she called on the talented Bruce
Lee of Alter Image Photography.
Both are based in Lake Oswego.
Her judgment on their work:
“Amazing!”
In fact, the entire album has a
rich Oregon feel to it.
“I wanted a lot of Oregon musicians
on it,” said Yvette, whose
previous contributions to CDs
were as a backup singer and
songwriter. “It was like a tapestry
with all of these musicians
on all of the different songs.
“Heartsong” is good listening.
It has a light pop, easy going
feeling with jazz and gospel influences.
Yvette even brought in
the famed gospel choir Chosen
Generation. She was also accompanied
by some world class
musicians in guitarist Eddie
Martinez and jazz sax player
Patrick Lamb, who also served
as co-writer on some of the
songs. Besides doing the vocals,
Yvette plays keyboards on her
CD.
“I’ve been writing songs since
I was a little girl growing up in a
really small town in Minnesota,”
Yvette said. “When I moved to
Oregon I started getting jazz influences.
“What I liked best about this
record is that a lot of my friends
played on it and that I got to
meet a lot of new people,” Yvette
said. “A neat accomplishment
for myself is that I wrote or cowrote
all of the songs.”

Stumptown Stages announces new season
Stumptown Stages, under the artistic
direction of Lake Oswego resident Kirk
Mouser, has announced its 2013-14 season.
The theater group specializes in
musical theater.
The season opening production will be
“9 to 5: The Musical” running from Oct. 24
to Nov. 10 with music and lyrics by Dolly
Parton and book by Patricia Resnick.
Based on the 1980 hit movie of the same
name, three female co-workers pushed to
the limits by their boss concoct a plan to
get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying,
hypocritical bigot. They conspire to take
control of their company and learn there’s
nothing they can’t do — even in a man’s
world. This is a story of friendship and revenge.
“It’s a Wonderful Life” returns Nov. 22
through Dec. 22. Music and lyrics are by
Portland talents Michael Allen Harrison,
Alan Berg and Julianne R. Johnson-Weiss
Fresh new classifieds every day – all day and night!
503-620-SELL (7355)
www.portlandtribune.com
with book by Janet Mouser. The musical is
directed by Tony Award-winner Corey
Brunish with choreography by Valarie
Grudier Edwards. “It’s A Wonderful Life”
is a holiday favorite for all ages. An angel
helps a compassionate but despairingly
frustrated businessman by showing what
life would have been like if he never existed.
“Aida” runs Feb. 20 through March 9,
2014, with music by Elton John and lyrics
by Tim Rice and book by Linda Woolverton,
Robert Falls and David Henry Hwang.
This show is directed by Mouser with choreography
by Valarie Grudier Edwards.
“Aida” is a contemporary musical take on
the classic tale of the timeless bond between
an enslaved Nubian princess and an
Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms
between them the young lovers are
forced to face death or part forever. Together
they set an example of true devotion
that ultimately transcends the cultural
differences between their warring
nations, heralding a time of unprecedented
peace and prosperity.
“Ain’t Misbehavin’” closes out the season
with a run scheduled for May 8
through 25, 2014. With music by Fats
Waller, the musical was conceived by Murray
Horwitz and Richard Maltby Jr. and
features Johnson-Weiss. The musical soul
of 1930s Harlem lives on in this revue that
is still considered one of Broadway’s best.
The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose
to international fame during the golden
age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives
along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride
piano plays and swing. Althought not quite
a biography, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” evokes
the humor and energy of this American
original.

Renovation transforms Rose Linn Care Center
Coordinating every
detail keeps disruption
to a minimum
By BARB RANDALL
The Review, Tidings
At the very least, home renovation
projects will disrupt
the rhythm of everyday
life and cause inconveniences
for those living in the home.
Imagine undertaking a renovation
project that impacts the living space
for 70 residents of a senior care facility
and keeping life normal.
“It was a huge undertaking,” said
Victoria Doyle, admissions coordinator
at the Rose Linn Care Center
in West Linn. “But it went pretty
seamlessly.”
The renovation project, which included
new carpets, vinyl flooring,
paint, furniture, remodeling of social
spaces and the addition of state
of the art technology, began last July
when Terri Waldroff purchased
the property.
“There is an ever growing demand
for superior senior care facilities,”
said Waldroff. “Rose Linn
Care Center is trying to help meet
the growing demand by completely
revamping the care center to create
an enriched living and care experience.”
She said she received daily feedback
on how the residents were doing
during the renovation.
“We have 70 vulnerable people
here,” said Doyle. “They still needed
medicines, meals, baths on time,

included in the renovation.
families ... this was a home remodel
times 70.”
The facility offers three levels of
care: memory care for those with
Alzheimer’s and memory loss, extended
care and residential living.
The facility is staffed by nursing
and certified care givers who provide
round-the-clock care for the
residents. Keeping the residents’
lives normal was a paramount concern
for Waldroff, Doyle and the
rest of the staff. Waldroff carefully
orchestrated each step of the process.
“The contractors were amazing,”
said Doyle. “They were very accommodating
to us in every detail. For
instance, each bed had to be replaced
and where
were we going to put
70 beds when they
arrived Switching
the beds couldn’t be
done in an hour.
They rented PODS
and stored them
there, then moved
them as they were
able.”
The flooring
throughout the facility
was changed and
each bed was replaced
with one with
a pressure sensitive
mattress. Dining
rooms and social areas
were updated
with new furniture,
paints, art and accessories.
“It’s not all about
cosmetics, it’s about
the quality of care —
you can’t have one
without the other,”
said Doyle. “Terri is
a really smart lady.
“We have
70
vulnerable
people
here. They
still needed

meals,
baths on

this was a
home
remodel

She looked at every detail. This
could have been very disruptive for
our residents and staff. Success on a
project of this size makes a home
remodel seem much less daunting.”

Gardenpalooza offers a celebration of gardening
11th annual event
takes place Saturday
at Fir Point Farms
By JOSH KULLA
The Review, Tidings
When Gardenpalooza
first started 11
years ago, it
proved to be a victim
of its own success.
“The first one we did 11
years ago, was at the OSU research
facility outside Wilsonville,”
said
Jeff Gustin,
the event’s
founder and
creator of
Garden Time,
a popular
home and gardening
television
show. “At
that time
Channel 12
was involved,
we were the

ones that started it as a station
event, and we had 1,500 people
show up. People were parking
in Charbonneau and walking a
half-mile. And they said ‘You
know what, we love you guys,
but please don’t come back.’”
That was in 2002.
Nowadays, Gardenpalooza,
which brings the public together
with a virtual smorgasbord
of local nurseries, farmers, tool
companies and other vendors,
can look back on those days
with a chuckle. It has attracted
up to 9,000 visitors at a time
and now is attracting sponsorships
from major companies in
the gardening world.
At the same time, Gustin
said, the main focus was, and
will continue to be the smaller
vendors who might not be able
to afford a large marketing
budget.
“We started years ago as a
way to get small vendors together
so people could buy
from the small growers,” he
said. “A lot of the smaller nurseries
grow a few types of
plants and they don’t really
have a budget to market to a
large audience. This event
came up to showcase those
smaller growers.”
This year’s event is set for
Saturday, April 6, at Fir Point
Farms just outside Wilsonville.
There will be just shy of fourdozen
vendors with thousands
of plants, tools and décor for
gardeners of all descriptions.
“This is our first year of doing
this, and Jessica and I are
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Flowers and plants, garden art and much more will be available at
Gardenpalooza this Saturday.
really excited to host it,” said
Jack Romaine, who along with
his wife co-owns both Fir Point
Farms and the adjoining Country
Grains bakery and café.
“It’s a great event, it’s a local
event, most all of the vendors
and things are local. We have
around 40 different vendors
coming from the area. It has a
really great following, and the
people who do come absolutely
love it.”
And as an added bonus, Judy
Alleruzzo and William Mc-
Clenathan, co-hosts of Garden
Time, the popular show on
Portland station KOIN, will be
there to meet and greet the
public. They also will be giving
away a pallet of Black Gold fertilizer
as an added bonus.
The entire event is free and
open to the public. Families, especially,
are encouraged to
head on down to Fir Point
Farms, which features a range
of livestock, including goats,
rabbits, sheep, chickens and
even a pair of miniature horses.
There aren’t any crops
sprouting from the field just
yet, but there are other kidfriendly
attractions, as well as
Country Grains, itself a popular
bakery and sandwich outlet
that moved to its current location
from Wilsonville’s Main
Street at the beginning of the
year.
Experience has taught Gustin
and his wife, Therese, to tailor
Gardenpalooza to match
other events going on this time
of year in the north Willamette
Valley.
“We usually try to get that
first weekend in April for the
event so that way it’s right
when the tulips bloom,” he
said. “We had people a couple
of years ago who wanted us to
move the event to Hillsboro or
Vancouver, but really, a lot of
people this time of year are
headed down to see the tulip
fields. There are a lot of events
in south Clackamas County
and north Marion County and a
lot of people make a day of it.”
Fans of 1990s era rock music
may get a jolt of nostalgia from
the name Gardenpalooza,
which Gustin said is no accident.
Named in part for the popular
music festival Lollapalooza,
which took off in the ‘90s and
has experienced a recent resurgence,
Gardenpalooza also is
intended to be a feast for the
senses in much the same way
the original Lollapalooza offered
its audience music, food,
art, and other interactive experiences.
“Some people thought it was
too much of a knockoff,” Gustin
said. “But because it had ‘garden’
in the name everybody
kind of loved the name and we
grabbed on to it.”
So far, said Romaine, the rabid
customer base that helped
them build a Wilsonville destination
has stuck with them
since they moved with their
business to the farm. Now, they
also are hoping to continue
what the Gustins helped start.
“I think it also just brings
more people to our area, the
Canby, Wilsonville, Aurora area,”
he said. “It helps everybody
out. We’re just thankful
to have something like that at
our place and hope to continue
it for years.”
Imagine that you’re throwing a
party, and want to invite only
your closest friends. Rather than
taking time to mail invitations,
you place an announcement in
the paper reading “I’m having
a party Friday night, and you’re
invited. Please come!” Your name
and address appear at the bottom
of the ad.
After a great deal of preparation,
Friday night arrives and
you’re surprised when over fifty
total strangers show up ready to
party. What happened
First, you took a short cut by
running a generic ad to attract the
attention of your friends. Instead,
you got the attention of “John Q.
Public.” Second, you expended
effort preparing for a party that
wasn’t appreciated by the crowd
that showed up.
A similar situation could happen
if you try to sell your home
without representation. Without
an agent, you may attract prospects
to your home who have no
business being there. They may
lack the financial resources to

buy, or may be bargain hunters or
“window shoppers.”
An agent attracts only the best
prospects by targeting specific
buying groups. Potential buyers
are screened for their ability to
make a purchase and their motivation
for doing so. Only qualified
buyers, by appointment, are
shown your home. You are more
likely to receive the best possible
price, with fewer showings, and
with the least inconvenience to
you and your family.

Windermere offers tool
for perspective home
Windermere Real Estate is
helping the public understand
actual drive times
from listed properties based
on true traffic conditions by
leveraging data from INRIX,
an international provider of
traffic information and driver
services.
This will help home buyers
evaluate commute times in
traffic between their workplace
and any home for sale.
The tool, named INRIX Drive
Time, goes beyond other real
estate sites that simply provide
distance to work in miles, or
travel times based on traveling
the speed limit, to provide
drive times based on real-time
traffic information. It can be
found online at Windermere.
com.
“With time being one of our
most valuable personal assets,
a stressful commute is out of
the question for many people
these days,” said Brian Allen,
president and co-owner of Windermere
Cronin & Caplan Realty
Group Inc. “Too much
guesswork about time should
not be involved during one of
BUSINESSBRIEFS
life’s biggest decisions. We’ve
eliminated this concern to
hopefully provide a home-buying
experience that goes above
and beyond our clients’ expectations.”
According to the National
Association of Realtors, 73 percent
of all home buyers consider
drive time to work a key
buying criterion. Additionally,
the U.S. Census Bureau’s
American Community Survey
found 88 percent of American
commuters travel to work by
car. Moreover, more than
600,000 of those drivers face
commutes of at least 50 miles
from home taking at least 90
minutes each way.
Windermere is offering IN-
RIX Drive Time to all customers
in the 10 states where it
does business. To determine
drive times using this new feature,
potential home buyers
simply enter their work address
into a field directly on
the property detail page at
Windermere.com. The tool automatically
generates an IN-
RIX Drive Time to and from
work, as well as a graph that
Friday, April 5, 2013
shows how that time varies by
different departure times
throughout the day.
INRIX Drive Time is powered
by traffic information
sourced from the INRIX Traffic
Intelligence Platform, which
analyzes data from various
public and private sources
ranging from government road
sensors, official accident and
incident reports to real-time
traffic speeds crowd-sourced
from a community of approximately
100 million vehicles and
devices.
The INRIX Traffic Intelligence
Platform factors in day
of week, season, local holidays,
current and forecasted weather,
accidents and road construction
to help drivers save
time and fuel and avoid frustration.
Real-time traffic information
is updated by INRIX every
minute and then analyzed and
compiled into a historical database
that is updated every 90
days, helping to ensure that
Windermere Real Estate clients
have the most up-to-date
insight into actual commute
times.
Seminars offered on buying
investment property
Two seminars on buying investment property
will be held April 10, the first from 8 to 9:30
a.m. and the second from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at
the Home Builders Association, 15555 SW
Bangy Road in Lake Oswego.
Industry experts will talk about financing,
property management and other aspects of purchasing
investment property.
The seminars are presented by Premier
Mortgage Resources. To reserve a seat, call Stefanie

Be on the lookout for a pest that
damages azaleas this spring
Gardeners should be on
the lookout this spring for a
relatively new pest in Oregon
that damages azaleas and
rhododendrons, according to
experts with the Oregon
State University Extension
Service.
The azalea lace bug was first
confirmed in Oregon in 2009 by
OSU researchers after it was
found in Washington in 2008.
The pest, known as Stephanitis
pyrioides, can survive the
winter and breed multiple generations
each year, making it
particularly worrisome.
It becomes active in mid- to
late May and early June, when
it starts laying eggs. So, starting
in mid-May, gardeners should
keep an eye out for the eggs,
which are partially embedded
in the tissue underneath leaves.
With its piercing-sucking
mouthparts, the bug feeds on
plants such as rhododendron,
azalea and pieris. Adult and immature
bugs eat the leaves, leaving
a yellow dot-like pattern on
the surface and black fecal spots
underneath. Large populations
can cause azalea leaves to turn
white. On rhododendrons, severe
damage may look like iron
chlorosis with yellow leaves and
green veins. Heavy feeding can
kill plants. Monitoring for the
pest, and dealing with it early in
the season, is a gardener’s best
defense, she said.
Natural predators such as
tree crickets, earwigs, green
lacewings, minute pirate bugs
and spiders kill and eat azalea
lace bugs. These “good bugs”
are more abundant in areas
with a variety of trees, shrubs
and understory plants.
A fact sheet for gardeners
with information on how to control
the pest and what varieties
of azaleas resist it is available
online at bit.ly/13yejjO.

Hi - My name is Sabrina
Sassypants. I am “not
quite” 3 years old and
pretty, soft and outgoing. It
is ok with me if I am your
one-and-only furry friend! I
will sit on your lap for a bit
and it would make me
happy to sleep near you at
night. I am NOT a background
cat as I like to be
out where the action is and
I will greet your friends
when they come over and
make sure they pass my
test. I have a lot of personality
and I will do best with
a person with prior cat experience.
I always use the
litter box like a lady and I
will do best in a home with
no children, only adults.
Sabrina is spayed, vaccinated
and microchipped
and she comes with a litter
box, scratching post and
dishes. Call Marilyn at
503-312-4296 for further
information. Cat’s Cradle is
an all-volunteer, non-profit
foster-home based rescue

The coming week is likely to require of most individuals
the ability to assess situations quickly and accurately, as
there isn't likely to be a great deal of "prep time"
afforded to anyone who is setting off on a journey
down unfamiliar territory. Much of what happens this
week will depend upon a kind of knowledge that comes
from deep understanding. Those who can shine the light
of knowledge upon themselves and turn their keen
awareness inward may have a considerable advantage.
Some may be slowed by physical ills this week, but
even then the mental processes should be uninterrupted --
and yield exciting results. While there will always be a place
for those who act, those who think are likely to enjoy a rare
kind of supremacy this week.
HOW TO PLAY: Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes
must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.
This Week’s Crossword Puzzle
Philip
I’m Philip, but I don’t care
what you call me, as long
as you call me for dinner—oh,
and petting and
playtime, please. I found
myself at the shelter when
my family had to move.
Once we’ve been introduced,
I’ll purr for you and
tell you about my day, and
if you want to hold me, I’ll
settle into your arms. Little
kids scare me, but I’ve
done fine with other cats
and a dog. Won’t you meet
me at CAT’s Sherwood
shelter 14175 SW

Porte Avant
Porte Avant is a talkative,
outgoing sweetheart who
loves petting and lap
lounging. She purrs easily,
enjoys being brushed, and
is an excellent hunter of
fuzzy mice. She’s hoping
for a home without dogs
and hopes you won’t mind
if she starts off a little shy.
Please meet her at CAT’s

The A Kids...BONDED
PAIR... Alex & Autumn are
quite a pair of lovers! They
are about 8 months old &
have the softest, silkiest,
most awesome mahogany
short hair coats. This duo
will double-team you with
lots of affection & purrs,
plus just enjoy “hanging
out” with you. They are
playful teen kittens with a
mission: to give an abundance
of love, enjoyment,
& joy to your household.
