Wyden could lead
national effort, as
state mulls plans
By JIM REDDEN
The Tribune
As tax day approaches,
calls for reform are in the air.
Oregon U.S. Sen. Ron
Wyden is promising to use his
recent appointment to chair
the Senate Finance Committee to reform the federal tax
system. Gov.
John Kitzhaber is working
on a state and
local tax reform plan that
will be a top
priority if he
is re-elected.
And local government officials are increasingly
saying the
state’s complex property
tax limitation
must be reformed.
That’s good
news to most
Portland and
Oregon residents, according to the 2013 Oregon Values
and Beliefs Survey. It found
that a majority of Oregonians
— 63 percent — believe the
current tax system is unfair.
That feeling is even stronger
in Portland at 67 percent.
Majorities also believe
change is needed in Oregon’s
tax system at this time — 64
percent statewide and 72 percent in the city.
As for changes, most believe
the tax system should be overhauled to be more simple and
straight forward — 58 percent
statewide and 76 percent in the
city. And majorities believe
that those who make the most
money should pay the most in
taxes — 67 percent of Oregonians say that, as do 89 percent
of Portlanders.
Anyone looking for guidance
beyond that is going to be frustrated by much of the rest of
the survey, however. It finds
that Portlanders and Oregonians are split on both the
causes of the problems and the
possible solutions.
For example, Oregonians
are evenly split on whether the
state’s current system of just
income and property taxes is
too unstable to pay for public
services. Forty-three percent
agree and 42 percent disagree.
Most Portlander agree the system is too unstable, however,
by a margin of 58 to 27 percent.
Oregonians are also evenly
divided on whether there are
too many exemptions in the
state’s tax system, with 36 percent agreeing and 36 percent
disagreeing. Portlanders are
more convinced there are too

Unless you’ve already
made up your mind, the Multnomah County Commission
District 1 race offers a difficult choice. Both Jules Bailey
and Brian Wilson are well
qualified and can point to
records of public accomplishments. And both are running
viable campaigns to replace
Commissioner Deborah
Kafoury, who resigned to run
for county chair.
Perhaps as much as anything,
the race is a choice between two
different kinds of public servants — a semi-professional
politician and a longtime civic
volunteer.
Bailey, 35, would appear to be
the favorite on paper. A threeterm Democratic state representative from House
District 49, he has the
most campaign experience, has raised the
most money, and has
received the most endorsements, including such Democratic political
heavyweights as Oregon U.S.
Sen. Ron Wyden and former
Gov. Barbara Roberts.
But Wilson, 46, is not a political novice, having served on
multiple county-related boards
and chaired the successful
campaign to create the Multnomah County Library District. He has also raised a respectable amount of money
and received endorsements
from such recognizable political figures as
Portland City Auditor
LaVonne Griffin-Valade and former Multnomah County District
Commissioner Maria
Rojo de Steffey.
And Bailey’s three successful
campaigns might not mean
much in the race. Only half of
his east Portland legislative district is in District 1. Most of the

this area one the most multimodal in the region.”
The boats were fabricated by
Jim Schmidt of Art & Design
Works in North Plains. Although they look identical, the
boat bottoms vary to fit specific
locations. Landscaping will
eventually grow around them,
giving viewers an understanding of the boats passing
through time, too, Will says.
Perhaps surprising, the MAX
project will improve the environment in the area. When it is
finished, nearly 6 million gallons of stormwater will be
treated each year as 17th Avenue becomes so-called Green
Street.
Will has a long history of
working with TriMet on its
MAX projects. He served on
the design committee for the
westside line to Hillsboro, the
first to include public art, and
did the Timeline sculpture in
the Washington Park station.
Although Will had retired
from public projects by the
time the Interstate MAX Line
was built, he came out of retirement for the new project,
which will help link two stations on 17th Avenue, one on
Holgate Boulevard and one on
Rhine street.
Much of another installation
is already visible to motorists
on Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard — a large earth-cast
wheel at the Southeast Tacoma
Street/Johnson Creek Station.
It was created by Thomas
Sayre to reference a 19th century water-powered sawmill
that once stood there. A second
will be installed later this year.
Like the state, the city of
Portland and Multnomah
County, and TriMet has a policy of allocating a fixed portion
of construction costs of the
publicly accessible parts of its
large construction projects for
art. For the nearly $1.49 billion
Portland-to-Milwaukie project,
the 1.5 percent allocation
amounts to $3 million. The
stated goals for the project is
to express the uniqueness of
each station area, inspire civil
discourse and encourage connectivity, stewardship and
sustainability.
Art at the stations
In addition to Will and Sayre,
numerous other artists have
been commissioned to create
works at various locations
along the route. They include

Indiegogo campaign
tries to revive KPSU
A new crowdfunding campaign is hoping to revive Portland State University’s FM radio station KPSU.
On March 31, a group
launched the Indiegogo campaign to raise $1,000 to return
KPSU to the airwaves. The
campaign ends on April 20.
In November, the group submitted an application to the
Federal Communications Commission for a low-power FM signal station. If granted, the lowpower signal would cover
downtown Portland and stretch
into the West Hills, reaching
north to St. John’s and east to
82nd Avenue.
PSU has been without a college radio station since 2010.
KPSU has about 70 volunteer
disc jockeys who play an eclectic mix of music.

Environmentally friendly transportation, including carpooling and public transportation, help to
meet greenhouse gas emission goals. Active transportation, including walking and bicycling, can
also help meet human health goals. Although it has declined in recent years, carpooling is the
most popular form of environmentally friendly commuting in the four-county greater Portland
region. The percentage of commuters who bicycled to work increased during that time period.
Another 10 percent of commuters walked to work or rode public transportation. Although those
numbers changed slightly from the 2006-2008 to the 2010-2012 time periods, the changes
were not statistically significant. To learn more, visit portlandpulse.org.

Workshops look at future

WEST LINN
Public ideas could
shape development
of neighborhoods
By PATRICK MALEE
Pamplin Media Group
As city officials began
brainstorming ideas for the
Arch Bridge and Bolton town
center master planning project, the operative phrase was
“hands on.”
If the goal was to plan the
redevelopment of an area
stretching along Highway 43
from Bolton Primary School all
the way to the bridge itself,
working from atop the hill at
city hall seemed to be
counterintuitive.
The city wanted to bring the
process to the people, and thus
jumped at the opportunity to
partner with LMN Architects to
host a “Storefront Studio” workshop series at Central Village
April 14 to 16.
Open to all residents, the
storefront studio at 22000 Willamette Drive, Suite 106 (next to
FedEx) will host three all-day
“open studio” times and two organized community workshops
over the course of three days,
each meant to spur residents to
share their ideas for how the
area should be redeveloped.
“We want to find out specific
things that can be done that are
viable,” Associate Planner Sara
Javoronok said.
The city received a $220,000
grant from Metro last fall to
fund the planning process,
which is expected to be complete by the spring 2015. West
Linn requested the funding to
support its efforts to facilitate
redevelopment in the Arch
Bridge-Bolton area, a project
that runs congruent to the redevelopment of the former Blue
Heron Paper Paper Company
across the river in Oregon City
as part of the Willamette Falls
Legacy Project.
The recently renovated
bridge crosses the Willamette
River between West Linn and
Oregon City.
The city’s overall goal is to
create a plan for the Bolton
Town Center, which would be a
hub for community activities,
commerce and housing. The
hope is to do so without sacrificing any of the community’s fundamental character, or its relationship with the environment.
That’s where citizens come
in.
“There’s lots of community
interest,” Assistant City Manager Kirsten Wyatt said. “We
wanted this to be an on-theground, hands-on experience.”
The first day of the storefront,
April 14, will include “open stu-
dio” time from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
before a formal community
workshop from 6 to 8 p.m. April
15 will consist entirely of open
studio time from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.,
and the event will close April 16
with open studio from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. and one last community
workshop from 6 to 8 p.m.
City planning staff and representatives from LMN Architects
will be on hand throughout the
open studio segments, free to
answer questions and collaborate with those who stop by.
City staff is banking on heavy
foot traffic due to the storefront’s location in Central
Village.
“The location is very accessible,” Wyatt said. “We’re hoping
to have people who are dropping
their kids off at school, or stopping by the library ... we want it
to look like Market of Choice at
lunch time.”
Aggressive timetable
The city is banking on some
of those high school students
grabbing lunch to stop by the
arch bridge storefront as well.
A group from the Youth Leadership Academy also will participate during the Tuesday open
studio, Wyatt said.
In the weeks leading up to the
storefront studio, the community has wasted no time getting
involved. An online survey
about the project generated
more than 200 responses within

MYVIEW
By Michael Sheehan
I
would like to respond to arguments raised by proponents of the
increasing number of the highly
explosive petroleum trains now
coming through our communities.
First, it’s clear that the petroleum
being shipped through the country is
much more dangerously explosive
than petroleum has been historically.
Recent news reports makes this clear:
what’s being shipped has very high
levels of propane and butane gas in it.
The companies could remove this before loading their trains, but they
make more money if they ship it with
the high gas content in it.
Second, four of these trains have
recently blown up in derailments:
Quebec (47 dead, the town a wreck),
Alabama, New Brunswick and North
Dakota.
Third, all the oil trains coming from
North Dakota to Columbia County are
going to Port Westward near Clatskanie. The railroad claims that pro-
posed improvements are being made
in the track to make things “safer.”
Yet my review of these improvements
— e.g. in downtown Rainier — is to allow double the number of trains, at
double the speed, thus greatly increasing the risk to we who live and work
here, and the risk to our children at
schools located near the tracks.
Yet the response of a number of
people, including Port Commissioner
Colleen DeShazer, is that the trains
were here before we were and therefore we have no right to be concerned
about the threat posed by these trains
to our families and homes, because we
chose to build our communities near
the tracks. DeShazer tells us, if we
don’t like it, leave.
They also claim that state and local
officials can’t prevent the petroleumladen trains coming through our community, no matter how dangerous. The
The safety of our kids and our homes
is more important than whether Big Oil
is getting rich.

there would be nowhere for the trains
to go, and therefore no trains. It is
noteworthy that the Port of Portland
has determined that they won’t allow
any petroleum export terminal within
its jurisdiction because of these same
safety issues. Yet the Port of St. Helens, that controls the Port Westward
terminal, apparently thinks these
risks to us are fine. The people we
elected approved it, and are now approving a vast increase in the number
of petroleum trains which will pass
through. The port only had to say
“no.” But instead they continue to say
“yes” to this dangerous traffic.
If more and more of these trains
continue to come, sooner or later
there will be a disaster. The safety of
our kids and our homes is more important than whether Big Oil is getting rich. The Port of St. Helens is the
key to this.

third argument appears to be that, if
we stopped the trains, then the same
shipments would come by truck,
which would be worse, so we should
be happy with the trains.
All of these arguments are nonsense. First, just because the railroad
track was here before we were born
doesn’t mean that trains should be allowed to expose our families to high
levels of danger. We have a right as
citizens to protect our communities
and families from big and powerful
corporations who think their profits
are more important than the lives of
our families.
Second, the argument that local
governments can’t regulate the passage of these trains through our communities is also nonsense. If it weren’t

he Supreme Court has
done it again. By a 5-4
vote, with the court’s
five Republican appointees on one side and the four
Democratic appointees on the
other, the court struck down limits on total contributions to federal campaigns that have been
enforced and were specifically
upheld in 1976. What the 1976
court saw in Buckley v. Valeo as
a “quite modest restraint upon
protected political activity” that
serves “to prevent evasion” of
the limits on contributions to
campaigns, the 2014 court has
held violates the fundamental
protection of political speech enshrined in the First Amendment.
The arms race for money is
not completely out of control.
Sure, an individual still can only
give $5,200 to an individual candidate ($2,600 for the primary,
and $2,600 for the general) and is
limited to $32,500 to national party committees, $10,000 to state
and local committees, and $5,000
to other committees. But where-
as the old law limited contributions to federal candidates and
committees to $74,600 every two
years, now there are no total
limits at all.
For most of us, of course,
these limits are meaningless.
How many people can afford
$74,600 in political contributions? We are in the world of the
1 percent already. But now those
1 percenters can give millions or
tens of millions. Already maxed
out on one committee? Believe
me, someone will create another.
There is no limit to the avenues
to contribute and no law against
it, thanks to the Supreme Court.
Does it matter? Of course it
does.
Sure, having more money is
no guarantee of victory. But between having more and having
less, every candidate alive would
rather have more. And they are
grateful, most grateful, to have
more, however it comes in — including from other candidates
and their funds, committees, the
party, supposedly “independent”
Susan Estrich
groups and individuals. Very
grateful. You don’t get a picture
in a silver frame when you give
this kind of money. You get access and a hearing and maybe a
feather on the scale — not something anyone can prove, but
enough for it to be a wise business decision and not just an expression of constitutionally protected political beliefs.
And while it is certainly true
that both political parties play
this game, it is not true that everyone does. As former U.S. Sen.
Bob Dole famously observed decades ago, every business interest may have a political committee, but poor children don’t.
There are no million-dollar donations coming in from single
mothers struggling to make
ends meet, from homeless families seeking shelter, from the 99
percent of Americans who don’t
even earn enough to make this
new decision of any immediate
significance to them.
As for the argument that disclosure solves all problems, reality is to the contrary. Oh, once in
a while we hear a story about a
clumsy contribution from someone who is seeking federal funds
at the very same time. Sophisticated donors don’t make that
mistake. They’ve figured out
ways to avoid disclosure altogether through supposed “grassroots” committees that are anything but.
Moreover, disclosure is a oneday story at best: an enterprising reporter digging through
FEC reports trying to match
names and companies and issues. But very few people are
around for or follow up on the
calls and meetings that happen
months later. Moreover, the very
goal of many big donors is nothing: forestall legislation to assure that nothing is done when
something should be. How do
you follow that?
Democracy should be sacrosanct. It should not be for sale.
The venerable principle of “one
person, one vote” is essentially
meaningless when a tiny percent of all Americans, by writing
checks and forming supposedly
independent and grassroots
committees, can and do wield
undue influence on the process
and its elected beneficiaries.
I certainly support the Founders’ vision of an independent judiciary: appointed, not elected,
and serving for life. But on days
like today, I can’t help but wonder whether the five-man majority might see things a little bit
differently if they had to raise
money — and be beholden to
moneyed interests — in order to
win and keep their jobs.

Library to celebrate new home Lawsuits stir
up Damascus
disincorporation
ALOHA
Parade, storytelling,
Shakespeare on
tap for opening
By SHANNON O. WELLS
Pamplin Media Group
DAMASCUS
After closing for the day
on Monday, the Aloha Community Library — as visitors
have come to know it since
September 2012, at least —
is gone. Over. Kaput.
Never fear, however, as a bigger and likely better facility is
set to open next week just across
the parking lot from its cozy
location west of the Bales Thriftway Marketplace.
The library will celebrate a
grand reopening in its new,
1,925-square-foot digs at 17455
S.W. Farmington Road on Saturday, April 12, beginning at 10
a.m. with a storybook character parade from the old library
to the new one, followed by
children’s story time, refreshments and words from local
dignitaries.
The Friday night before,
award-winning storyteller Olga
Loya will present “Let’s Work
Together” on April 11 at 7 p.m. in
the former Blockbuster Video
building at 17555 S.W. Farmington Road. In the program, Loya
will share myths, legends and
personal stories from Latin
America and around the world.
Also on Friday evening, local
thespian Nathan Longacre a
Westside Christian High School
student, will produce, direct and
act in a four-scene play at the Edwards/Aloha Community Center, 4375 S.W. Edwards Place, at
7 p.m., and Sunday, April 13, at
2:30 p.m.
The play comprises four iconic scenes from some of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, including “Macbeth,” “King Lear”
and “Romeo and Juliet.” Proceeds from the $8 tickets will be
split between the Aloha Community Library Association and the
Edwards Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing work opportunities and living assistance to adults with
disabilities.

a cooperative member in time for
the 2015-16 budget cycle and a
proposed local option levy voters
will consider in November 2015.
“Ultimately, library funding
won’t come to use until 2016 after the (proposed) library levy
passes in the fall of 2015,” Hoy
noted. “The levy will be a pivotal
vote for us to become a publicly
funded library.”
Assuming the levy passes and
the library, which has two paid
staff members and about 50 active volunteers, is accepted into
the Washington County system,
public money wouldn’t trickle
down to Aloha until fall 2016.
“It’s all about timing and budget cycles,” Hoy said. “Until
then, we have to continue to
sustain ourselves through the
financial donations of the
community.”
Hoy is confident next weekend’s grand opening fanfare will
draw positive attention to the
evolving library.
“We’ll have a parade for kids
and special speakers including
local school administrators and
county officials to welcome everybody in the new space,” he
said, noting the Shakespeare
production adds a special touch
to the festivities. “It’s kind of
exciting. We’ve got a pretty
crazy week leading up to our
opening.”
Chris Hawes is continuing
his legal fight to disincorporate the city of Damascus,
even as the Clackamas County town deals with fallout
from state sanctions for not
filing a comprehensive
growth plan.
Hawes led a petition drive to
have the city disincorporated
which appeared on the November ballot. Although a
majority of residents who cast
ballots voted to disincorporate, a majority of all 6,879 registered voters was required
but not reached, so the measure failed. Hawes’ attorney,
Paul Hribernick, said the law
requiring that “super majority” is not valid and the measure to disincorporate should
have passed.
Hawes has filed two lawsuits
which names the city of Damascus, Clackamas County and
Secretary of State Kate Brown
as defendants. A hearing on the
lawsuits will be held April 15
before Clackamas County Circuit Judge Deanne Darling,
Hribernick said. One of the lawsuits calls for a declaratory
judgment that the city be dissolved. The second calls for a
new election to allow another
vote to disincorporate the city,
Hribernick said.
Sanctions from the state
against Damascus include the
recent passage of House Bill
4029, which gives some Damascus residents the right to withdraw, or de-annex, from Damascus and join with another nearby municipality. The bill was introduced because of Damascus’
failure to file an acceptable
comp plan.
The city also has been sanc-
tioned by the state Land Conservation and Development Commission for failing to file a comp
plan, and as of April 1, the LCDC
is withholding $300,000 the city
received annually in the past for
planning purposes.
Damascus was incorporated
in 2004 and has missed multiple
deadlines, according to the
28-page LCDC report.
The report states that Damascus argued that it has tried “as
hard as it can” toward meeting
schedules, but argued that it
failed to do so, “due to political
differences within the city and
the requirement that any comprehensive plan and land-use
regulations be approved by the
voters before submission to
LCDC.”
Previous attempts to have an
approved plan have failed, and
now three comprehensive plans
will be on the May ballot. One of
the plans, the original plan developed by staff and the Damascus Planning Commission, will
be on the ballot because of a petition signature campaign. A
second plan, said to favor private property, was prepared under the guidance of Damascus
Mayor Steven Spinnett. The
third plan, sponsored by Damascus City Council President
Andrew Jackman, is said to
have an environmental bent
that protects the city’s rural
character.
Jackman said he will be interested to see what the Clackamas
court has to say when it considers Hawes’ complaints on April
15, but hopes the issues will
be resolved after the May 20
election.
“I’ll be interested in hearing
the legal response to that,” he
said. “Obviously, it’s not easy to
govern here where two-thirds
don’t want to be a city.”
But the city is more handcuffed by the passage of HB
4029, and Jackman said the city
will fight against attempts for
residents to de-annex, as the bill
allows.
“I think we will do everything
possible to address that issue
legally,” he said.

In Loving Memory
Victor Paul Sakewitz
October 13, 1928 to April 1, 2014
Victor Paul
Sakewitz, age 85,
passed peacefully
into the arms of Jesus
in the presence of his
loving children here
in Portland
Victor was born in Union City, N.J.,
and spent his youth at the family home
in Edgewater, N.J. His parents, John
and Julia, were immigrants from Latvia
and Lithuania, and had three other sons,
John, Eddie, Phillip and one daughter,
Miriam, all older than Victor. During
the happy, adventurous days of his
youth, he learned to play the violin when
he and his sister Miriam took lessons at
the New York School of Music, which
started him on his musical path which
continued all through his life. At the age
of 17, after working on a tugboat, ‘Vic’
joined the Navy and at the end of his
naval commitment met and married the
lovely Rose Marie Snively in San Diego,
Calif., in 1950. They eventually moved
back to New Jersey and then finally
to Milwaukie, Ore. in 1964 where his
children all went to high school.
Victor worked in the aerospace
electronics field, followed by a career
with the U.S. Post Office, where he retired
in 1989. During his adult life, he was
involved in many helpful organizations,
including volunteering and mentoring at
groups such as GA, AA & SA.
He was a loving father and
grandfather. He loved accompanying
the families and playing with the
grandchildren and his great-grandson
Dominic. Even in his older age you
would see him climbing a tree with his
grandchildren or singing them songs.
He was always strongly connected
to his religious faith, the Bible and
his Lord Jesus Christ. During his last
several years, he attended St. Mark’s
Anglican Church in NW Portland
and also accompanied his daughter
Vicki and her family to their church,
Destiny Christian Fellowship, where
he participated in their church’s
home groups and special services as
well. While living with Vicki and her
husband Bill the last year and a half of
his life, he would have weekly Bible
Studies with Bill. It was a common
sight to see him reading his Bible or
praying.
He loved fishing, tennis, bowling,
swimming, long-distance running,
camping and hiking. He did not need
very much sleep, which fit him well,
as he loved life and did not want to
miss anything! He loved Scrabble
with a passion, newspaper jumbles
and crossword puzzles. He continued
his love of music all through his life,
singing in church choirs and for the
last three years, even up to just recent
months, had been a dedicated member
of the Senior Pioneer Community Choir
in Oregon City, performing at various
senior lodges and hospitals throughout
the Portland area.
Following in the footsteps of his
own father, Victor was dedicated to
the natural health and wellness aspects
of life. He was given the gift of life
for more than 20 years after he cured
himself of lymphoma in his later
middle age. Sadly, he was taken from
us due to the ravages and effects of
advanced prostate cancer, having only
been diagnosed this last year.
He is survived by his sons, Jonathan
and David, daughters-in-law, Marianne
and Lynn; daughters Vicki Hilbert and
son-in-law Bill, and Miriam Sakewitz;
five grandchildren, Colin Sakewitz,
Andrew, Peter and Esther Hilbert,
Hannah Partridge and her husband
David; and great-grandson, Dominic,
all of the Portland area; and sister
Miriam Avlon of Union Gap, Wash.,
plus several nieces and nephews and
great nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his
wife, Rose Marie.
Victor had a long, eventful,
adventurous and love-filled life and he
will be greatly missed not only by his
loving family but by all whose lives he
personally touched with his kindness,
compassion, energy and joy of living!
He is now reunited with our beloved
Rose Marie.

Michael Henry Mulkey
North, Provo, Utah, 84601.
He was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. His love of the Lord and
his family were always first in his heart.
Mr. Krouth was born July 25, 1920, in Salt Lake
City, Utah, the third child of four of Herman Walter
Krouth and Clara Ruegg Krouth. He attended
schools in Salt Lake City and graduated from West
High School in 1937.
After 2 years in the National Guard he enlisted
in the Army Air Corps to pursue his interest in
becoming an air control tower operator. He helped
open the first military control tower on Gowen Field
in Boise, Idaho, assigned to the Airways and Air
Communications System (AACS) as the chief operator. On April 14, 1942 he was commissioned an officer in the United States Air Force.
During WWII and forward he served in many
positions at various bases. In Korea during the war
he served as the operations officer of a 700 man
squadron with the Air Force Rear responsible for
10 South Korean locations. He was awarded the
Bronze Star for meritorious service while serving in
Korea.
He retired as a major with an honorable discharge
November 30, 1960.
After a 24 year career in the Air Force he retired
and went to work for Tektronix, Sunset Plant in
Beaverton, Oregon, becoming the capacitor department manager.
He married Barbara Marcine Brown Krouth,
June 13, 1942. They had two sons. They later
divorced. Then he married on October 9, 1954, for
a short time, Constance Raymond Taylor Maxwell
Krouth. He married Doris Lorraine Mattson Sprick
Krouth Roberts July 15, 1956. They had a daughter
and two sons. Subsequently they divorced.
He then married Sally Lee Frye Krouth December
30, 1960, in the Lutheran Church in Sherwood,
Oregon. They later left Tektronix to travel to
Lake Chapala, Mexico and a month later moved to
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico where they lived for
four years and had two daughters. While there Mr.
Krouth started a bowling league, became a Charter
member of Pearl of the West Chapter, Order of
the Eastern Star and served as Worth Patron. He
joined the Shriners Anezeh Temple and helped
sponsor several Mexican children to the México
City Shriners Children’s Hospital. He joined the
American Society becoming membership chairman
and helped transition the organization to become the
American Mexican Society to become more community inclusive.
They lived for several years in a travel trailer traveling about 10,000 miles each summer. The travels
started from Corpus Christi, Texas where he was
employed as night watchman by a local college and
Texas Southwestern Oil, and then as furniture warehouseman which ended when Hurricane Celia blew
the warehouse down. Then they went on to winter in
Mary Ester, FL; Tucson, AZ; to Layton, UT, where
he worked for various city departments.
They then moved to Mount Pleasant, UT, to manage a Camperworld Resort for nearly nine years.
Some of his most treasured memories of Mount
Pleasant were serving with the wonderful people in
the church and the community. He was honored to
be a member of the local VFW where he served two
years as commander. After the children were grown
they spent a year in Salt Lake City. The next few
years were spent managing apartment communities
in Beaverton, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington.
They then purchased a home in Gaston, Oregon, and
he worked for Pinkerton Security at the Intel Aloha
plant. They resided there for 22 years before traveling once again.
Mr. Krouth was preceded in death by his parents

Candidates: Endorsements, cash fuel race

lost. But we were able to figure
out a way to get everyone to
agree so the replacement
bridge plan could move forward,” says Wilson.
A short time later, Wilson
was asked to lead the committee that passed the Multnomah
County Library District measure at the November 2012
election. Although he had been
growing increasingly interested in running for the commission, that experience helped
him understand how campaigns work and convinced
him he could win one. He was
considering running for Kafoury’s seat when the charter
would have term-limited her
out at the end of 2015. Instead,
he jumped in when she resigned two years earlier to run
for chair.
“The job matches my interests and the skills I can bring
to it, so it was the right decision,” says Wilson.

district lies west of the Willamette River, where no one has
voted for him before.
Bailey and Wilson share
many similarities. They were
both born and raised in Portland, left to pursue higher educations, then returned. The
both have backgrounds in finance. And they express similar views on county issues, including a commitment to maintaining county programs that
serve the most vulnerable citizens while looking to spend
money efficiently.
Both also identify many of
the same priorities, including
improving services for the
homeless, preparing the county
health system for the federal Affordable Care Act — called
Obamacare — changes, and
finding money for infrastructure projects, such as maintaining the county-owned bridges.
In fact, Bailey and Wilson
even look and sound alike. Both
are thoughtful, articulate men
with short dark hair and quick
smiles.
One difference concerns economic development. Bailey says
the county should do more to
create jobs. Wilson notes the
county’s primary responsibility
is providing social services.
Another difference is personal. Bailey is married to a pediatrician at Randall Children’s
Hospital. Wilson is openly gay.
Wilson also admits to being
arrested for DUII in 2007. The
case was resolved through a
court-approved diversion program.
Serious policy role
Bailey says his interest in
politics grew out of his upbringing. His parents divorced when
he was young and his stepmother has a medical condition that
requires treatment and prevents her from working, which
put a financial strain on his father, who worked for the state.
Then, at age 15, Bailey fractured
his back and required years of
therapy to recovery.
“I realized that it was only because we had good insurance
through my father’s job that we
were able to survive,” he says.
Bailey grew up in the same

His opportunity came sooner
than expected when Multnomah County Chair Jeff Cogan
resigned because of a sex scandal in early September 2013.
Bailey assumed Kafoury would
run for the seat and have to resign from the commission in the
middle of her term because of
the County Charter. When she
did, Bailey was the first to announce for the race.
Show up with a tie
Wilson says he became interested in county issues while
working at his family’s former
business headquarters. The
Kalberer Hotel Supply Co.
founded by his grandfather, August Kalberer, was once based
in the Old Town/Chinatown
building that now houses the
Portland Development Commission at 222 N.W. Fifth Ave.
“You couldn’t walk to work
without meeting and talking to
the people who were living on
the streets and in shelters. I got
interested in the programs that
help them, which are largely
funded by the county,” says
Wilson.
Like Bailey, Wilson grew up
in Portland, attending schools
in Portland, Tigard and graduating from Jesuit High School
before leaving to get his liberal
arts bachelor’s degree from
Whitman College in Walla Wal-
la in 1989 and his tax and finance master’s of business administration from Fordham
University in New York City in
1995. He returned to work in the
family business when it got involved in real estate, redeveloping some of properties acquired
by his grandfather.
Then, in 1996, Wilson attended the first meeting of a city
task force studying the financial
threshold for requiring owners
of older builders to meet current
earthquake standards. There he
learned a valuable lesson.
“If you show up wearing a tie,
they’re going to ask you to do
something,” Wilson says.
After that Wilson was asked
to service on number task forces and boards, many with a
county focus. They included
chairing the Multnomah County Charter Review Commission in 2009 and serving on the
community task force on the
Sellwood Bridge. Wilson says
those assignments taught him
the value of getting people
with different needs to work
together toward a common
goal.
“The Sellwood Bridge Task
Force was made up of people
representing different interests, from pedestrians to bicyclists to the freight community
to area residents. At first it
seemed that if someone go what
Because Bailey and Wilson
are the only candidates in the
race, it will likely be decided in
the May 20 primary election.
Unless there are a lot of write-in
votes, one of them will receive
more than 50 percent of the
votes and avoid a runoff election in November.
With only around five weeks
before the election, Bailey has
received the most endorsements and raised the most money. Supporters include labor
union and business organization, which helped push his
available cash to more than
$170,000. Some of that money
came from a large fundraiser
held in early August, before he
decided to run for the county
commission.
Bailey’s use of Democratic
endorsement may also pay off.
Although the commission is
non-partisan, the largest block
of its voters are Democrats —
70,479 out of 128,024.
In contrast, Wilson is not supported by any established political action committees, but has
still raised around $60,000 in
cash. Approximately half of that
has come from himself and his
family, so far. Although trailing
in fundraising, Wilson is confident he will receive enough contributions to run a winning
campaign.
Both candidates are conducting door-to-door campaigns,
which could be important in a
district where neither has run
before.

even disagree on whether personal income taxes are too
high. Most residents in the
state — 61 percent — agree. But
opinions are almost evenly
split in the city, with 45 percent
agreeing and 44 percent disagreeing. Complicating the picture are disagreements on how
well government spends tax

Oregonians are

enough on public service and
some taxes should be increased
(28 percent).
In Portland, 51 percent supports more taxes and services,
26 percent thinks they’re both
just right, and only 17 percent
wants them reduced.
A majority of Oregonians —
64 percent — also believes government is wasteful and inefficient with our money and cannot be trusted to make good
decisions. That feeling is more
tempered in Portland, with 46

Most Oregonians and Portlanders believe taxes are in

American Red Cross worker Jennifer Ramieh looks out on the mudslide area from the western edge of the damage in Arlington, Wash.

Molalla firefighter
helps victims of
Wash. mudslide
By PEGGY SAVAGE
Pamplin Media Group
When a wave of mud and
debris roared through a quiet valley near Oso, Wash.,
on March 22, Denise Everhart, a Molalla volunteer
firefighter, was one of the
first to respond.
Everhart, who is the Division
Disaster State Relations director for the American Red Cross
in Oregon, Washington and
Alaska, said she was notified
right after the catastrophic
mudslide happened that Red
Cross support was needed at
the disaster site.
“We organized local volunteers and got up there,” Everhart said. “Ever since this happened, we’ve been finding shelter and feeding people, including the first responders, and
giving mental and spiritual
help.”
We also have been coordinating all these activities with the
other agencies involved.”
The death toll continues to
rise as rescue workers recover
more bodies buried in the mud
of former residences. As of
Monday, 21 people were confirmed dead, and authorities
said 30 people are still missing.
“I feel lucky and blessed to
be able to help, but this might
be the hardest thing I have ever
done,” Everhart said. “This
tragedy is so horrific. And the
community is just like Molalla.
It’s a logging town with a fire
department just like us, and
the task ahead of them is so
enormous and heartbreaking.”
Everhart went up to the operations base right at the mudslide site and helped organize
the response to the disaster,
talking to people and local firefighters.
“They’ve all been working so
hard and they have so much
heart,” she said. “Gov. Jay Inslee came and visited our Red
Cross office there yesterday to
thank us, and that was really
nice.”
After working every day for
a week at the site, Everhart had
a 24-hour rest leave Monday at
home in Molalla. She will be
back at Oso this week, helping
as long as she’s needed.
“If you can help, you help,”
she said.
“Lessons learned out of this
will last for years to come,” she
added. “The response for every
community member and first
responder was amazing. It’s a
horrific tragedy, but a fantastic
display of human support and
spirit.”
She said donations would really help to continue providing
the services she and other Red
Cross people are providing. If
people do want to help, they

years. Called the Bipartisan
Tax Fairness and Simplification Act, it is co-sponsored by
Republican Sen. Dan Coats of
Indiana.
Recognizing that the nation’s
tax code is broken, Wyden has
led the effort for comprehensive tax reform that will simplify the tax code, bring down

United States more globally

Kitzhaber is working with
Oregon business and labor
leaders on a comprehensive tax
reform effort. Details have not
been released and Kitzhaber is
unlikely to unveil it
during his 2014 reelection campaign
out of fear that it
will lead to discussions of the third rail

Some Oregon
elected officials are not afraid
to propose a sales tax, however,
including state Sen. Mark Hass
(D-Beaverton). Hass has proposed a 5 percent sales tax that
would raise an estimated $488
million a year. Among other
things, the money could be
used to lower income taxes and
ease any shift in the property
tax limitation system that currently has homeowners paying
wildly different taxes on properties of similar value.

At Lincoln High, southpaw Mickey

At Portland State, Roy Love is the
Vikings’ leading pitcher. He is off to
a 1-0 start, with no runs allowed in
10 1/3 innings.
Meanwhile, at Nick’s Coney

On the track, Jim Grelle of the
University of Oregon has the best

Pellum had no designs on leaving
By STEPHEN ALEXANDER
The Tribune
EUGENE — Don Pellum,
the Oregon Ducks’ new defensive coordinator, says he had
opportunities years ago to
take on that role at other
schools.
Pellum, a UO linebacker from
1982-84, loved being in Eugene,
though, so he stayed as the
Ducks’ inside linebacker coach
for 20 years.
“I was not going to take off
and chase jobs, trying to become
a coordinator, when I had a
great job,” he says. “The people
I worked with were friends. It
wasn’t like I had co-workers.
The coaches were buddies.”

Adding the

a whole has
been a challenge for Pellum, but one he has
accepted with vigor.
“As a position coach, all I was
looking at was the inside of the
defense and the run game,” Pellum says. “Now I’m looking at
the whole structure. The extra
time I’m spending is by myself,
studying.”
Dargan says Pellum hasn’t
changed much.
“He’s hard, he’s tough and
he’s going to drill preparation
into you,” Dargan says. “He’s a
captain, he’s a leader. And when
he’s leading us, we’re following
him.”
Linebacker Rodney Hardrick
describes Pellum as a coach who
is both firm and caring.
“He’s a really good guy,”
Hardrick says. “He cares about
you as a person and on the field.
He’s going to be hard on you on
the little things. But it’s for a
good reason, and we appreciate
that.”
Pellum says “the accountability of the defense has improved
dramatically. Guys were studying in the offseason. On the first
day of (spring) practice, our
communication was at a level
we’ve never achieved in the first
two weeks of practice.
“The beauty of the kids is
they want to do well. But they’re
kids, and we’ve got to keep
pushing them. But they’re at a
good spot right now.”
Pellum describes the swagger
he wants to see in the Oregon
defense.
“We’re not talking about being idiots and being bad people,”
he says. “We’re talking about
playing with confidence and a
chip. In football, you’ve got to
walk out there with attitude.
The kids are embracing that.
They’re juiced.
“It’s going to be a process. But
in the end, we should have an
identity formed on our confidence and our swagger.”
Pellum is excited for the 2014
season, which begins Aug. 30 at
home against South Dakota.
“It’s unreal,” Pellum says.
“This job is truly a blessing. I
didn’t know how long Coach Aliotti would go, but I wasn’t anticipating this opportunity coming.
I’m fired up, man.”
Greif: Former Lincoln star wants to coach
pecting her dad to congratulate
her on the victory.
“Dad, did you watch the
game?” she asked.
“No,” he said. “I thought you
guys were going to lose by a lot.”
Greif, a four-time Portland
Tribune All-City selection, used
her intelligence and cutthroat
competitiveness to become an
elite player. At California, she
was academic all-Pac-10 in her
junior and senior years. Later, on
her Facebook page, she wrote,
“Just lost my graduate school 4.0
to a B+. Oh the horror.”
Greif’s mother, Elaine, is a
clinical psychologist in Portland.
Growing up, Lauren took the
same memory tests that her
mom gave to her patients. “She
would show you a house for a
second, and then you would have
to draw it the same way as on the
card,” Lauren recalls.
Nowadays, memory is a reliable ally for Greif in basketball.
She says she can vividly replay
possessions in her head and see
what’s going to unfold on the
court before it happens.
“I’m a student of the game,”
she says.
At Cal, Greif was co-captain
for three years. She helped the

No. 2 seed and Pac-12 regularseason champion that fell Sunday to defending NCAA champion Connecticut 75-56 in the
women’s Final Four.
“I would love to move up in the
Stanford program,” Greif says.
“Working there has been a fantastic experience.”
Even while playing for California, Greif had the utmost respect
for the Bears’ more accomplished rival. Cal gave the Cardinal some battles in going 2-8
against Stanford during Greif’s
four years (2006-10).
“The Stanford games were
our biggest of the season,” she
says. “When we beat them, we
knew we beat a really, really
good team.”
On Feb. 2, 2007, Greif did just
that as the lone freshman in the
Bears’ starting five. Cal marched
into Maples Pavilion and
chopped down the No. 8-ranked
Cardinals 72-57. The Bears
missed their first eight shots, but
then a 12-foot jumper by Greif
got them going, and they went
on to snap Stanford’s 52-game
home conference win streak.
Greif, who finished with 15
points and six rebounds, ran to

have to do something,” Sauk says.
Southwick’s play — along with
another solid defensive effort —
gave the Thunder a shot versus
the KISS (2-1) in its home opener
at Honda Center in Anaheim,
Calif.
“It was the best game we’ve
had from a quarterback,” Sauk
says.
Thomas started, but he went 3
of 8 for 26 yards with no TDs and
one interception, and the Thunder
were down 14-0 midway through
the first quarter.
Enter Southwick.
“I had planned on using
Darron,” Sauk says, “but I owe it
our players to give us our best
opportunity to win, and I absolutely hate losing; it kills me
inside. I’m just too competitive to
accept it. I feel that with the
defense we have, we easily could
be 2-1.
“We’ve scored seven points in
the first quarter of our three games,
and that’s not good enough. We’re
in the hole too often. You can’t win
games when you’re constantly trying to catch up.”
The Thunder are Southwick’s
fourth AFL team in four years. He
had contacted the Thunder in the
offseason as a free agent. Sauk
told him “we’re going with the
young guys, but I’ll give you a call
if something comes up.”
Until Saturday, the 32-year-old,
6-2, 205-pounder from Provo,
Utah had attempted only 120
total AFL passes.
“Some things he does really
well, and some things I need to
learn that he’s not very good at
— it’s a learning process for me,”
Sauk says. “He understands when
to throw the ball and how to
throw it, and to me that’s two of
the most important things. He
was throwing balls before the
receivers were breaking, which we
hadn’t been doing at all.”
■ Next for the Thunder is a
road game against the solid
Spokane Shock at 7 p.m.
Saturday.
Spokane improved to 2-1 last
week with a 72-62 victory over
the San Jose SaberCats. The
Shock lead the AFL in scoring with
62.0 points per game.
“This game is going to give us a
good feel for where we’re at
defensively, and probably will
challenge us the most of any
game we’ve played,” Sauk says.

appearances as a reliever with
the 2005 Oregon State team that
won the Pac-10 championship
and became the first OSU team
to reach the College World Series in 52 years.
An 11th-round draft pick by
Texas in 2005, Fogle pitched
three seasons of Class A ball
from ‘05 to ‘07. He has worked
for five years as marketing manager at Valley Athletic in Northeast Portland, an athletic equipment company owned by his
brother, Eric.
As a volunteer assistant coach
last season, Fogle suffered with
the players through the only
winless season at any classification in the state. After the season, athletic director Dave Richardson hired him as head coach.
“The first thing I told Dave is
that programs aren’t built overnight,” says Fogle, 30. “It’s going
to take some time.”
Fogle is the biggest bargain in
high school sports in the state.
After coaching for nothing as an
assistant last season, he is basically working for free again this
year to build a program that has
been down for many years.

Eggers: MLB dream faces various hurdles
■ From page 1
positives to bringing majorleague baseball here.
Portland (600,000) is the largest U.S. city with only one of
the four major pro leagues. It’s
the nation’s 22nd-largest TV
market and the 24th-largest
metropolitan area (2.3 million).
“The two places I would look
at (for expansion or franchise
moves) are Nashville and Portland,” says Kevin Towers, a
Medford native who serves as
general manager of the Arizona
Diamondbacks.
Lashbrook and Smith believe
a suitable site for a new ballpark is the land upon which
Memorial Coliseum sits in the
Rose Quarter, next to the Moda
Center. Smith contends a
38,000-seat stadium could be
built there for a cost of about
$300 million, or perhaps $400
million with a retractable roof.
“With our summers, I don’t
think we need a roof,” Lashbrook says.
That, of course, is a debate
for further down the road.
More importantly, Smith believes the stadium project could
be done without public money.
He figures in the $150 million
from the house bill, with $110
million coming from lease of
the city-owned land to the team
owner. The additional $40 million, Smith says, would come
from a “snack tax” through
concessions at the park.
Several years ago, the city seriously considered subsidizing
construction of a minor-league
park there to house the TripleA Beavers. For a while, it appeared the Blazers were behind
the project, before they decided
they weren’t. The idea died, and
the aging coliseum still sits at
the site, the home of hockey’s
Winterhawks and little else.
Over the past year, Lashbrook and Smith have revisited
the issue and a potential spot to
build a new stadium. They initially looked at the school district site across NE Broadway.
Then they came into contact
with two executives with Brailsford & Dunlavey program management team of Washington,

“That is now the No. 1 hurdle
I don’t see how anybody could
overcome. To appeal to lawmakers and public officials in
today’s environment to build a
stadium without any assurance
a team would relocate would be
very difficult.”
The A’s would be reluctant to
move, Kahn suggests, if they
had to wait for a stadium to be
built.
“You don’t want to be a lame
duck in your own territory,”
says Kahn, once general manager of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves. “For a team to announce a move to Portland and
have to survive for three to four
years where it is (currently)
playing, that would be problematic.”
Then there is the issue of the
Seattle Mariners, who have
long considered Oregon as part
of their territory.
“The Mariners would certainly resist any efforts to bring
a team to Portland,” Kahn says.
“I’m sure they would hate to
see a club in there,” Towers
says. “But legally, I doubt if
they’d have any grounds. It’s so
far away. It’s not like the situation in the Bay Area, where the
A’s have talked about putting a
club in San Jose and the Giants
have done what they can to
block it. Oregon is another
state, Portland a city three
hours away.”
A big question, Harold Reynolds agrees, is the Mariners’
territorial rights.
“Beyond that, the question
would be, ‘Is the Northwest big
enough to handle two majorleague teams?’
“ says Reynolds, the Corvallis native
who played for

“But I’ll say this: From the
time when I graduated from

Portland has transformed itself
into a major-league city. The
growth has been astounding.
I’d love to have a team in Portland. It would be great to have
the A’s move there. What a rivalry it could be, with the Mariners 2 1/2 hours away.”
Towers is of much the same
mind.

a relocating team could inhabit

be one similar to (Seattle’s)
Safeco Field, probably with a
roof. Then a ballclub can decide
if that’s where it wants to go.”
It would help, of course, if
Portland had political leadership to influence a team’s move
and drum up public support.
Vera Katz, the mayor in 2003,
was very much involved with
the process then. That is not
the case with the city’s current
mayor, Charlie Hales.
“We’re not working on that,
at all, in this office,” says Dana
Haynes, Hales’ communications
director. “We assume it’s highly
unlikely to happen.”
That doesn’t dissuade
Lashbrook.
“It’s not a priority (with
Hales), but it’s not about politics,” he says. “This is about
business, about connecting the
dots between ownership and
location.
“Normally, the mayor would
be doing this. We don’t have a
baseball mayor. We don’t have
the political machinery. So Barry and I are saying, ‘We’re the
real estate agent. We’re connecting the dots.’ “
•
Lashbrook is not in favor of
erecting a stadium and then
humming, ‘They will come.’ “
“I don’t think we should build
a stadium without a guarantee
that a team is coming,” Lashbrook says. Nobody in Oregon
would support that.”
Nor would the income-tax
money through the house bill
be available without a team
announcing its intentions. So
Lashbrook and Smith are investigating the possibility of
using Hillsboro Ballpark as a
temporary facility for the A’s
to use until a new stadium
could be readied for use. Construction of a major league
stadium generally takes several years.
“We could do it in three
years,” Smith says. “I think
Portland could get its act together instantly.”
Hillsboro Ballpark opened
last year as home of the new
Hillsboro Hops, a Class A
Northwest League Arizona Diamondbacks affiliate. Year 2 for
the Hops begins in June.
“We think with temporary
seating, you could get the capacity to about 17,000,” Lashbrook says. “The footprint is
there. That’s not illogical.”
Towers isn’t sure that would
be big enough to satisfy a bigleague team.
“Even with the lower payrolls, it’s tough to run a viable
franchise with even a packed
house of 15,000 seats,” he says.
“I don’t know if there would be
enough revenue to survive.”
(Oakland’s payroll for the
2014 season is $60.7 million,
fourth-lowest in the majors.)
Lashbrook’s answer: Consider the alternatives. The A’s, he
says, are in an untenable situation in Oakland.
“It’s less than ideal for a team
to be dormant while leaving a
city, but that’s the reality of
moving,” he says. “The long
term is what should be focused
on.
“We have a major piece of
property, with more infrastructure than anyplace else. We
have no neighborhood issue at
the Rose Quarter. We have so
much in place — location, population and some seed money.
It’s not a perfect situation, but
give me the next-best alternative. There is none.
“Oakland has a big problem.
They are desperate. They have
to find a place to move the A’s.
They can’t stay there. They’ve
had problems with a sewage
backup (at Oakland Coliseum)
in the last week. They’re not
drawing (22,337 average attendance last season, 22nd in the
major leagues). It’s a broken
model.”
Lashbrook and Smith say they
have been in touch with several
current and former major league
officials in recent months. None
will speak on the record, but all
have provided positive feedback,
Lashbrook says.
“Nobody thinks we’re crazy
with our concept,” he says. “We
have reason to believe we’re on
the right track. The sports
world knows Portland is a vibrant, growing city. The new
commissioner of baseball will
have some different ideas. He’ll
want (the A’s) to solve their
problem, too. We’re feeling
very confident we’re a solution
in Portland.”
The economic impact of major-league baseball in the city
could be enormous, Lashbrook
says.
“Baseball could help us build
a new bridge,” he says. “It’s like
putting 81 conventions in Portland a year. You’ll get people
from all over the state attending games. That headquarters
hotel goes up tomorrow. The
mayor will change his tune.
Money talks.”
Smith has grown more convinced as he has gotten more
involved with the project. His
firm finished third in the running when the Blazers were
taking architectural designs for
what to do with the coliseum
several years ago.
“I have all the planning documents,” he says. “The site is a
tight fit for (a major-league
park), but it works. Everything
else is great. You have light rail,
street cars, parking garages,
freeway access and no neighborhood, and the city owns the
property.
“The feedback we get is, major league baseball needs Portland more than Portland needs
major league baseball. We’re
the young, growing, lively demographic that baseball is looking for. We keep having people
take our calls, and they’re calling us up, too.”
With the major leagues’ revenue-sharing plan, “the league is
subsidizing the A’s at about $25
million a year,” Smith says.
“Other clubs are paying Oakland to beat them. We give
them a chance to wipe that off
the books. We’re just putting
the word out, and we keep getting pings back.”
Pings are good. No stadium is
bad.
But I applaud Lashbrook and
Smith for their resolve. Denizens of the city of Portland have
long had a defeatist attitude
when it comes to pro sports.
Maybe now is the right time for
someone to take the bull by the
horns.
Somehow, there has to be a
way to make it work.

SERVING CENTRAL OREGON SINCE 1881

OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF CROOK COUNTY
50 CENTS
PRINEVILLE, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 2013
VOL. CXXXI — NO. 43
Jason Chaney
Central Oregonian
As more and more reports of
health complications due to head
injuries surface, people have
ratcheted up efforts to protect athletes who suffer concussions.
The Oregon Senate is trying to
further that effort and recently
passed a bill with overwhelming
support that would require youth
sports leagues to recognize and
respond to possible concussions.
However, some worry that the
law could leave youth sports
coaches and other officials open to
potentially expensive lawsuits, and
deter them from continuing the
sport.
Oregon Senator Doug Whitsett
(R-Dist. 28) was one of just two
lawmakers who opposed the bill
amid civil liability concerns.
“I think that concussions are a
real concern,” he said. “My
concern, the way that bill is
written, is there are no violations
or any criminal act (citations) for
not following the rules of the new
law. The civil liability to me would
just be wide open . . . The bill is
See SB 721, page A8
LON AUSTIN/CENTRAL OREGONIAN
If Senate Bill 721 passes, youth sports organizations such as
Bend Parks and Recreation youth football, would be required
to detect and respond to concussions.

youth sports coaches and
officials to detect and
respond to concussions,
which could make them
legally liable to civil suits
The 2014 Portland Timbers
made an early impression on
the Seattle Sounders on
Saturday. Scoring four goals on
a team will tend to do that.
The Sounders rallied with two
goals in the final five minutes to
earn a 4-4 draw at Providence
Park, enabling them to leave with
one point and several observations of their closest MLS rival to
the south.
“When they’re feeling it, they’re
a very good offensive team,”
Sounders defender Chad
Marshall said of the Timbers in
year 2 under coach Caleb Porter.
“You have to be accountable at
all times or else they punish you.”
■ Portland is 0-2-3 going into
Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. home
match with Chivas USA, which
fell to 1-2-2 with a 3-0 loss
Sunday to the Los Angeles
Galaxy.
“It’s very frustrating,” Timbers
midfielder Will Johnson says, of
his club’s slow start. “Anybody
would be frustrated after five
games not having a win.”
Johnson says the Timbers are
panicking, though.
“There’s nothing wrong with
our morale,” Johnson says. “You
just keep working, you keep fighting, you keep doing your job.
Eventually those wins will come. “
■ Defender Alvas Powell, 19
and Portland’s
youngest player,
made his first
start of the season against the
Sounders,
replacing
32-year-old Jack
Jewsbury. The
6-0, 165-pound
POWELL
Jamaican “really
helped us and
brought a little bit more team
speed and more width,” Porter
says.
■ The Timbers debuted two
large advertisements at
Providence Park. A red 76 gas
station ball was on a pole on the
south side of the stadium. A yellow Tillamook Cheese sign was in
the northwest corner of the stadium, over where the Timbers used
to keep a giant poster of midfielder Darlington Nagbe.
Nagbe was not available in the
locker room after the Timbers to
address how he felt about his
poster being replaced by a picture of a block of cheese.

Live Wire’s big news
The radio/stage variety
show Live Wire! Radio has always featured interesting
guests and fun topics, and it
has been recognized for its
hard work through the years.
Public Radio International has
added the show and host Luke
Burbank to its portfolio, beginning July 1.
“PRI understands that people are inspired by all types of
experiences: intellectual, artistic, serious and humorous,”
says Melinda Ward, chief content officer of PRI. “Live Wire!
brings those experiences to
audiences in ways that are relevant and energetic. We are
delighted to be working with
them.”
Live Wire! launched in 2004,
and does most of its shows at
Alberta Rose Theatre.
“When we started this show
10 years ago,” says Robyn Tenenbaum, co-creator and executive producer, “our goal was
to be heard by ears across the
country and around the world.”
She adds, jokingly: “We currently air in some wonderful
markets outside of Oregon, in-
graphed the fresh battlefields
and downed aeroplanes, and the
like, and sold the images to
American soldiers, like my
dad.”
Historians Rolla and Marge
Harding, exhibit contributors,
are quick to point out that they
do not wish to glorify World
War I.
“It was an awful, awful war,”
says Marge Harding, who cited
cruelly lethal mustard gas and
flamethrowers as examples.
Most of the men who returned went on to live full lives
and support families, but many
suffered from post-traumatic
combat stress.

The Hardings invite fans of
the Charles Schulz “Snoopy”
character to contemplate the
real “Red Baron,” Manfred von
Richthofen, buried with vigilant honor by his enemy combatants, and to learn about the
history and art of the “Ace”
aerial dogfight, in what Rolla
describes as “a time of one-onone shooting, when air warfare
had different, more gentlemanly rules.”
“Fans of the PBS series
‘Downton Abbey’ will find connections in the exhibit, too,”
Marge says. “This is the period.”
The 1907 Stevens-Crawford
Heritage House is open from
noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays
through Saturdays. The last
guided tour begins at 3:30 p.m.

Flags flyin’ high
Members of the Southridge High School’s Winter Guard Dance Ensemble perform during the school’s
“ Under the Big Top” assembly on Thursday, April 3. The assembly also acknowledged the groundbreaking
of the Southridge High Community Plaz a in memorial to fallen U.S. Army Pfc. Andrew Keller, a former
Southridge High student.
It has been 100 years since
the start of World War I, and
a new exhibit in Oregon City,
“The War to End All Wars —
WWI Centennial,” commemorates the great conflict
from which we have no more
survivors.
The free exhibit is at the
Stevens-Crawford Heritage
House museum, 603 Sixth St.,
Oregon City.
Throughout the historic
home, displays commemorate
the anniversary of the war, including personal souvenirs, ammunition, uniforms, models,
medals and relics of combat
brought home by the soldiers of
Clackamas County.
Some items are from the
Stevens-Crawford collection itself, owned and operated by the
Clackamas County Historical
Society. Medorum Crawford of
Oregon City was the patriarch
of a military family that included great-grandson Robert MacArthur Crawford, author of the
1938 Army Air Corps theme
song commonly known as “Wild
Blue Yonder.”
Other exhibit pieces were
loaned and arranged by traveling-museum proprietor Burt
Darnielle of Welches, collectors
Marge and Rolla Harding, and
the families of volunteers of the
Stevens-Crawford Heritage
House.
Several docents who guide
complimentary tours of the
home-museum are daughters of
World War I soldiers themselves. One, Nadene Duffield, is
pleased to have the opportunity
to display a portrait of her father, the young Paul S. Mason,
