Portland has never been a taxi city. Streetcars, bikes and light rail have captured our interest much more than the idea of

being able to run curb-side, hold out a hand and fl ag down a crosstown ride on the spot.

Portland taxi drivers will attest to the “poor relations” attitude to-ward taxis in the Rose City. A study commis-sioned by the city this year revealed that taxi drivers on average make $6.22 an hour, well below the state’s $8.80 an hour minimum wage.

Mayor Sam Adams would like to see that change. He is supporting a sweeping set of proposals intended to remake the taxi indus-

try in Portland. The pro-posals were presented to the City Council Nov. 7.

The idea is to improve working conditions and wages for the city’s taxi

drivers, many of whom cannot fi nd enough fares to pull their earnings up to minimum wage. Part of the proposed solution takes a very counterintuitive approach that has most

Neighbors wary of compromise to open land for port project

Mayor Sam Adams’ 11th-hour gambit to win city annex-ation of west Hayden Island isn’t winning over skeptics.

Adams proposed Friday that the Port of Portland pony up $32.6 million to ease environ-mental and health impacts from its planned three marine termi-nals along the Columbia River, if the city annexes the port’s 800-acre Hayden Island site and zones 300 of the acres for indus-try.

But as the city Planning and Sustainability Commission takes up the proposal tonight,

there’s still widespread opposition from island residents and environ-mentalists. And port leaders are reluctant to put up all the cash that Adams wants up front with-out rent-paying ten-ants in hand.

The lame-duck mayor placed west Hayden Island on his mayoral bucket list before leaving office at year’s end. That could earn him a lega-cy for preserving 500 acres of urban forest and other open space while providing 300 acres for hundreds of well-paying in-dustrial jobs.

To do that, Adams is pushing for speedy approval of the an-nexation and zone change by the planning commission, so the City Council can give its fi nal OK in December.

First, he’ll have to contend with dozens of critics expected to testify tonight, including two busloads from Oregon’s largest mobile home park located a half-mile from the terminal site.

Adams’ proposal “kind of cre-ated a lot of uncertainty and a lot of anger,” says Pam Fergu-son, president of the Hayden Is-land Manufactured Home Com-munity Home Owners Associa-tion. “It just feels like the com-munity’s being bought off, sort of. We’re seeing right through it.”

A health impact report by Multnomah County and two nonprofi ts found that diesel fuel from trains and trucks could nearly triple the amount of can-cer-causing air toxins in the im-mediate area, which already are 20 times higher than the state benchmark. That could imperil people with asthma and other lung ailments, says Dr. Gary Ox-man, Multnomah County health offi cer.

“A bad-pollution day could tip them over the edge and bring them to the hospital,” Oxman told fellow planning commis-sioners at a Tuesday briefi ng on the health report.

Neighbors also are concerned about trucks that will zip by on North Hayden Island Drive, the entrance to the mobile home park.

To address such concerns, Adams proposed that the port pay $3.6 million to the city Hous-ing Bureau to help mitigate for the health impacts. Mobile home owners could get money to install better windows and

If Don Goldberg pulls it off, golfers might be the only ones left complain-ing.

Goldberg, a senior project manager for the nonprofi t Trust for Public Lands, is winning praise from neighborhood, busi-ness and environmental leaders for his bid to buy two-thirds of Colwood National Golf Course for a future park and rezone the rest of the site for industry.

The package deal ultimately could lead to a large public open space in Northeast Portland’s parks-starved Cully neighbor-hood, plus a rare “shovel-ready” industri-

al site next to Portland International Air-port that could be host to 825 jobs.

Signifi cant environmental and trans-portation hurdles remain, but Goldberg hopes to submit his proposal to the city within a month and seek a zone charge hearing next spring.

Public response has fl ipped 180 degrees from four years ago, when the Honolulu-based Saunders Family Trust asked the city to rezone its private golf course for industrial use. The golf course, still in use until the property sells, is zoned for open space.

Portlanders who already embrace the “shop local” and “eat local” ethos, can now they “dress local” too.

A new downtown store called Enchanted Alpaca features at least 40 types of “fi eld to fash-ion” products made from the wool of alpaca raised in Glen-wood, Wash., about 35 miles

north of Hood River. It’s not just quirky, but is also

practical, says Carol Thayer, who owns the business with her husband, Rick Daugherty.

“It’s four times warmer than wool, weighs half as much as wool and wicks away twice as much sweat,” she says.

Since 2008, Thayer and Daugherty have run their shop in Hood River, showcasing the handcrafted skirts, coats, baby sweaters, socks, gloves, long johns and other creations by about a dozen local artists who use their alpaca wool.

of the current drivers up in arms — put more cabs on the street.

Portland permits 382 taxis, with one permitted taxi often shared between two drivers. Kathleen Butler, who oversees taxis as regulatory division manager in the city’s Revenue Bureau, says there are many more people who would like to be cab drivers. The hard-to-get permits don’t go directly to driv-ers, but instead are granted to companies (Broadway Cab is the largest) that hire drivers as pri-vate contractors. It’s a situation that has bred what Butler calls a “regulated monopoly,” with ma-ny of the problems monopolies seem to encourage.

A nearly endless supply of drivers — many are new immi-grants — means the cab compa-nies don’t have to worry about how much their drivers are earning, or any other work con-ditions, for that matter. The taxi companies are only required to provide dispatch routing, car in-surance and an indeterminate amount of marketing for the right to hold permits. The com-panies require drivers to make a weekly contribution to what the industry calls “the kitty.”

On average, Butler says, driv-ers in Portland pay $500 a week toward the company kitty, which is one reason drivers’ take-home pay is so meager. Overall, driv-ers here are treated poorly, she says, and the city study backs her up. Nevertheless, she says, the city has never taken away a company’s permit for mistreat-ing its drivers or passengers.

Butler’s solution is complex, but it is aimed at getting market forces to work. The idea is to permit more cabs and create some competition for drivers. “If there are more opportunities for drivers, then all the companies are going to try to create better conditions for drivers,” she says.

After a 4-0 vote at City Council last week, Butler’s bureau is is-suing 78 new permits and will likely issue dozens more after that. In addition, Butler has pro-posed new regulations that would allow the bureau to get tough with companies that mis-treat drivers and passengers. Getting tough might mean yank-ing taxi permits or not reissuing them once they expire.

More cabs mean more riders?Stephen Kafoury, an attorney

who represents Broadway Cab, says the city report on the taxi industry “has the appearance of something that was hastily put together.” Kafoury concedes that “drivers don’t earn as much as we’d like them to earn.” Most drivers can’t get health insur-ance or workers’ compensation, and Kafoury agrees that is a problem.

But the biggest issue is low wages for drivers, Kafoury says. That is why he calls the pro-posed city’s proposed solution “reckless.”

“It seems enormously back-ward to say drivers are not mak-ing enough money, so what we want to do is increase the num-ber of permits out there. There is a law of supply and demand,” Ka-foury says.

Butler is con-vinced, however, that more taxis on the street, proper-ly managed, could lead to more de-mand. She cites one reported call that resulted in a two-hour wait for a taxi. Her own staff mem-bers occasionally call for taxis to test the system. One call from the Mount Tabor neighborhood resulted in a 30-minute wait; a call for pickup from Mall 205 took more than an hour, she says.

Red Diamond, a Broadway Cab driver who serves as the drivers’ representative to the Private for Hire Transportation Board, has lobbied for a system in which the city allocates the taxi permits directly to drivers, but he admits that’s not going to happen. Alternatively, he’s op-posing the new permits with the zeal of someone who sees his small piece of an economic pie getting even smaller.

Diamond disputes bureau fi g-ures showing Portland has few-er taxis per capita than most other cities. He also says Port-land’s efficient public transit

and bike culture make it differ-ent than most of those cities anyway.

“It’s probably a wise thing our city is not overly dependent on taxis the way other cities are,” Diamond says.

Diamond’s competition is led by Kedir Wako, chairman of the board of Union Cab Co., which

technically doesn’t yet exist as a taxi-running f i rm. Union, composed mostly but not ex-clusively of immi-grants from Africa, has been promised the bulk of the new permits — 50 — and has assured

the city it will run its operation with the goal of bettering driv-ers’ lives.

Wako, a 41-year-old father of three, has been driving for Broadway Cab 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week, since 1999. He says he takes home be-tween $6 and $7 an hour after accounting for his weekly kitty contribution of $580.

In 2008, he says, after he woke up one morning with his face partially paralyzed and unable to speak, he needed to take a week off. He asked Broadway if he could be excused from paying the kitty for that week, but he claims Broadway refused.

Raye Miles, Broadway Cab president, says that typically the company will forgive kitty pay-ments in cases of medical emer-gencies, but that it has no record of Wako making such a request.

After that, Wako says, a num-ber of drivers organized so that

if one got sick, the others would pitch in to pay his kitty. The driv-ers also agreed that if a fellow driver was in an accident, the others would help pay his or her car insurance deductible.

That organizing led to the proposal for Union Cab. Wako says with the 50 new permits, 100 drivers will be employed and none will drive longer than 12-hour shifts. The kitty pay-ments won’t be more than $350 a week, and Union will fi nd a way to obtain group health insur-ance and a retirement savings plans for its drivers.

Wako says Union Cab will ad-vertise throughout the metro area neighborhoods and its driv-ers will be very visible, not wait-ing hours in line for highly val-ued pickups at the airport head-ing downtown. Calls to Union’s dispatch, he says, will get cabs to customers quicker.

“If you are visible, if you are

cruising in the street, there is no reason that customers will wait 90 minutes,” he says.

Fees will rise with new rulesPortlanders might never de-

velop New Yorkers’ attitudes to-ward taxis as part of the trans-portation infrastructure, says Frank Dufay, coordinator of the city’s private for-hire transpor-tation program in the Revenue Bureau, but as more apartments are built without parking spaces and more people need to get to train or streetcar stops as part of their daily movements, calling and hailing cabs might become a more accepted part of the Port-land urban culture. That’s where Adams is placing his bets, any-way.

“Part of the process is build-ing that market,” Dufay says. “People will use more taxis if the service is better.”

Maybe, says a dubious Kaf-

oury.“It’s a build-it-and-they-will-

come philosophy,” he says. “If they put out taxis in Sellwood and Lents, people will start us-ing them. It might happen.”

If cost is a reason Portland-ers don’t take cab rides, the proposed new rules aren’t go-ing to make cabs more attrac-tive. Adams’ plan includes in-creasing fees to the cab compa-nies and increasing the meter rate charged to cab customers by 10 cents a mile. Some of that extra revenue will help fund in-spectors to enforce the new rules.

Gary Blasi, a University of California Los Angeles law pro-fessor who has studied the taxi industry, is skeptical that put-ting out more cabs and provid-ing a better taxi experience is going to grow the market sig-nifi cantly.

“I would want to see some em-pirical evidence that the diffi-culty of finding a cab is what stands in people’s way,” Blasi says.

Butler says the city would like to get fewer taxis waiting in the airport bullpen up to two or three hours for fares. But Blasi says there is a reason so many taxi drivers are willing to do that rather than hit the streets looking for fares. They might not be bringing in much in-come, but their expenses are lower.

“Taxi drivers out of the lot cruising around doesn’t make a lot of sense because they’re burning gas,” he says.

Ray Mundy, director of the Center for Transportation Studies as the University of Missouri, has studied taxi in-dustries in a number of cities and says Portland offi cials are mistaken if they think better taxi service will lead to signifi -cantly more people choosing taxis on a regular basis.

“I have not known any city that has successfully grown its taxicab market, unless they’ve done things like eliminate a public transit route where peo-ple have no other alternative,” Mundy says.

In Mundy’s view, increasing the number of cab companies will mean more competition for the higher fares, such as those coming into town from the air-port. Having more companies also makes it harder for a city to impose regulations, such as requiring drivers to pick up passengers in areas outside downtown and the airport. With fewer players, cities can more easily make deals.

“Their intentions are good, but no city has ever done this in terms of growing their market-place,” Mundy says. “They’re going in the wrong direction. They probably should be shrink-ing the number of cab compa-nies.”

Long waits in the airport bullpen mean low wages. Portland taxi drivers make on average $6.22 an hour, according to a city report.

Kedir Wako has led organizing efforts that have yielded taxi permits for Union Cab Co., which should soon start hitting the streets.

“People will use more taxis if the service is better.”

By PETER KORNThe Tribune

By day she’s a gym fi tness instructor, but by show time she’s Texine of the Rose City Rollers. More muscle than speed, Texine has been preparing for

the Rollers’ Dec. 1 Veterans Memorial Colise-um exhibition bout against the derby team from Seattle. Keep in mind, when derby girls say they’re preparing to kick off their season, you might want to watch their footwork.

PORTLAND TRIBUNE: What’s the hardest you’ve been hit in your life?

TEXINE: It was roller derby. I was in a training program called Fresh Meat and one of the known villains, her name is Smackya Sideways, she was one of my coaches but she was also playing on one of the teams. We were in a scrimmage and she said, “Texine, I’m going to hit you as hard as I can.”

TRIBUNE: Somebody has just told me they are going to hurt me, I don’t just stand there. What did you do?

TEXINE: She was smiling. So I said, “Bring it.” I knew what I was doing, what I was in for.

TRIBUNE: Could you hit her back or did you just have to take it?

TEXINE: Hitting her back would have been the best move. Instead, she got the drop on me. I didn’t see it coming.

TRIBUNE: Wait a minute. She’s just told you she’s going to smack you and you’re telling me

you didn’t see it coming?TEXINE: It didn’t happen immediately. I was

brand new and I was focusing on staying upright on my skates. Jammers were jamming, blockers were blocking and I had forgotten about her promise to me.

TRIBUNE: So we’re talking what, 20 minutes lat-er?

TEXINE: Twenty seconds. Have you seen roller derby? A lot happens in 20 seconds. Smackya hit me so hard I felt my teeth rattle in my head.

TRIBUNE: If we had met 10 years ago, would it have been predictable that someday you’d be smacking people in roller derby?

TEXINE: Probably. Roller derby has not intro-duced me to my aggressive side. Roller derby has given me direction for my aggressive side.

TRIBUNE: Outside of roller derby, what are we talking about?

TEXINE: I haven’t gotten into a fi st fi ght since college and I graduated in 2006, so I think that’s pretty good.

TRIBUNE: What’s with this Gorgeous George you talk about on your bio page (the roller derby team’s online information page)?

TEXINE: George is a friend of mine from yoga class.

TRIBUNE: Roller derby and yoga? That seems an unlikely mix.

TEXINE: It’s the perfect yin to my yang.TRIBUNE: But have you ever hauled off and

smacked somebody in yoga class, or wanted to?TEXINE: For professional reasons I cannot dis-

close that information.TRIBUNE: Weirdest thing you’ve seen at roller

derby?

TEXINE: In 2010 I was captain of the Portland B String All Stars. We had a team visiting from California and we were handing them their asses. They never gave up, but at one point their jam-mer got hit three times in a row before hitting the ground and she threw up on the track.

TRIBUNE: And this is your home track, right?TEXINE: Right.TRIBUNE: This is your living room.TEXINE: She had the nerve to throw up on our

good carpet. Our events director immediately jumped out on to the track with a towel and sani-tizing spray.

TRIBUNE: Was the spray for her or the track?TEXINE: Yes. Both. The crowd was rolling. With

the three hits it started with “Oooh, ow, and then OHHH!” Then all of a sudden she pukes and the sound turns to “ugh.”

TRIBUNE: Ever get recognized outside the rink?

TEXINE: Once I had a 10-year-old kid on a skate-board tell me he wasn’t impressed by my roller skating or roller derby — this is a snotty little kid — because skateboarding is harder and cooler.

TRIBUNE: Did you hip-check him off his board?TEXINE: That would be totally illegal. My hips

are registered weapons.TRIBUNE: Funniest thing you’ve ever heard at a

roller derby track?TEXINE: There’s this one (male) skater who is

notorious for crop dusting the track. That means he’s breaking wind as he’s skating by.

TRIBUNE: On purpose?TEXINE: Very purposely. It’s the poop joke of

strategies.TRIBUNE: Vomit. Crop dusting. From what I’m

hearing, when I take my daughter to your match-es we shouldn’t stand too close to the track.

TEXINE: What are you protecting her from?

of the business community last time fi ghting this land use appli-cation,” Goldberg says. “Now they’re all in support of it.”

Trust works out a dealThe 138-acre Colwood Nation-

al Golf Course is north of Colum-bia Boulevard, and several blocks west of 82nd Avenue.

In 2008, the Saunders family sought to rezone 115.5 of the acres for industry. The Port of Portland was eying the site for a future airport runway. The re-maining 22.5 acres straddling the Columbia Slough would be preserved and donated to the public.

Business interests welcomed the idea, but neighborhood and environmental groups tena-ciously fought the loss of open space.

“The Cully neighborhood has the least amount of parks per citizen in any area of the city,” Goldberg notes, and ranks as Or-egon’s most ethnically diverse community.

The Portland City Council unanimously rejected the zone change.

This time around, the Saun-ders family is letting the Trust for Public Lands work a deal on its behalf, and is willing to settle for less. The elephant in the room is gone, since the Port of Portland abandoned plans to seek a third airport runway, at least until 2035. That’s a relief to neighbors worried about noise from overhead airplanes.

The Trust for Public Land has a purchase option from the Saunders family to buy about 89 acres — four times as much land as before — to keep it in open space, Goldberg says. That would equate to an open space the size of Gabriel Park in South-west Portland. The trust would expect ultimately to sell the site, for what it pays, to a government entity, perhaps the city of Port-land.

To make the deal pencil out for the family, the Trust for Pub-lic Land wants the city to rezone 48 acres north of the slough for industry. That acreage is next to Portland International Airport, the same site once eyed for a runway. The Saunders trust is negotiating to sell that parcel to a large industrial developer, for use as manufacturing or ware-

houses, Goldberg says.The deal, designed to give

each party some of what it wants, won’t go through unless the zone change is approved, he says.

Cully activist Erwin Bergman, who has fought against the third runway proposal for years, wel-comes this deal. “I’m willing to accept the loss of this 48 acres as a reasonable price to acquire the rest and leave it as an open space and park,” Bergman says. “I would say this is the most realis-tic option to basically pick up Colwood as a park.”

Important piece of dirtThe local economy sank into a

deep recession in 2008, the same year the Saunders family lost its zone change application, and the need for jobs has risen. A new analysis, done in tandem with the city’s update of its compre-hensive land use plan, concludes that Portland has a shortfall of industrial lands of about 630 acres.

Losing the chance to rezone more of Colwood for industry could be a “missed opportunity,” says Corky Collier, executive di-rector of the Columbia Corridor Association, a business associa-tion in the area. However, Collier realizes there’s little political chance that the 2008 proposal could ever pass. “This is about the best we’re going to be able to do,” he says. “I’m hoping it will work.”

The Audubon Society of Port-land, which opposed the 2008 zone change, seems amenable to the compromise put forth by Goldberg.

“Generally speaking, Audu-bon does not sup-port the conver-sion of open space to industrial use,” says Bob Sallinger, the group’s conser-vation director. “But in this case, we recognize that this may be the best outcome that’s possible on this site.”

One of Audu-bon’s concerns is the fate of a two-acre pond on the north side of the slough, in the pro-posed industrial parcel. Goldberg says that poses a safety hazard for planes over-head because it attracts birds. His proposal calls for fi lling the pond and replacing it with at least three acres of new wet-lands in the protected area, near the southern slough bisecting the golf course.

Portland is working to develop Thomas Cully Park, a budding neighborhood park due south of Colwood on the opposite side of Columbia Boulevard. However, that site, a former landfill, is planned for community garden

plots and active recreational use. The sloughs traversing Col-

wood are seen as high-value habitat and natural areas.

The assumption is the land ul-timately becomes a regional

park owned by the city, or perhaps Metro.

The Trust for Public Land gener-ally serves to keep land protected from development until it can be brought into public ownership. Having a nonprofi t proper-ty developer as an intermediary also minimizes efforts to “soak” govern-ment entities seek-ing to acquire lands for the pub-lic.

The city of Port-land isn’t part of

the deal, Goldberg says, though it could be in the end.

“Colwood is an incredibly im-portant piece of dirt,” says City Commissioner Nick Fish, now overseeing the city parks depart-ment. “It would be a very desir-able location for a park, whether it’s a regional park or a city park.”

At 90 acres, it would be more than half the size of Washington Park, and nearly half the size of Mt. Tabor Park, two other Port-land regional parks.

Golfers roll over the Columbia Slough at the Colwood Golf Course. The North Portland green space is slated to be turned into park land and industrial space.

“Colwood is an incredibly important piece of dirt. It would be a very desirable location for a park, whether it’s a regional park or a city park.”

Gemstones for a causeTrios’ Studio gives clients the choice of Fair Trade Gemstones and recycled precious metals, whenever and wherever possible.

Trios Studio in Lake Oswego is committed to Fair Trade gem-stones –gemstones that are produced using environmen-

tally sustainable methods and fair labor practices and are supplied legally and transparently. The Lake Oswego jewel-er hopes to draw attention to this cause and has designated December to be Fair Trade Gemstone Month at their studio.

Kathe Mai, who opened Trios’ Studio six years ago with Mary Wong and Debo-rah Spencer, is a leading spokesperson in the movement to bring Fair Trade gem-stones to the retail jewelry industry.

Wong says gemstones produced ac-cording to this stringent protocol are

perfect for engage-ment rings.

“You choose your mate … and you sym-bolize it with this piece of jewelry as a traditional thing. Ev-eryone does it, but often that choice is associated with less than ideal situations. So as you choose to start your new life with someone, you can also choose to help lift the lives of others…you’re repre-senting your new life with something that should be pure.”

Though Wong says the diamond indus-try is far too large to adhere to fair trade practices, you can still get this tradition-al engagement ring gem confl ict-free – meaning that its purchase isn’t used to fi nance violent rebel movements. Or you can break with tradition and opt for a colored gemstone. For example, “There’s a lot of amazing sapphire coming out of Montana right now,” Wong says.

Wedding rings can be similarly atypi-cal. Trios’ Studio gives clients a choice of recycled precious metals and Wong says it is probably the only vendor in Portland that carries the Spexton line of alterna-tive metal wedding bands, which are tita-nium and precious metal inlays.

“Alternative metals are appealing to the younger person,” Wong says. “It’s a less expensive product in many cases than a karat gold or platinum piece. A lot of people just like the look and feel of it. It’s unique; it’s more signature.”

Not all jewelry sold at Trios’ is made in-house, but Mai, Spencer and Wong pride themselves on their custom-de-

signed pieces, like a pendant created us-ing gemstones from a customer’s family jewelry or a wedding band inlaid with a fossil or petrifi ed wood.

“We bring in whatever the elements are that are signifi cant to that person,” Spencer says.

Often, the most signifi cant element to a customer is the notion that his or her jewelry has been conscientiously cre-ated.

“Some people just don’t care, but we’re there for the person that does care,” Wong says. “We have contributed thou-sands of dollars to a school in Malawi, Africa, where the Fair Trade ruby and sapphire mine is.”

Trios’ Studio also caters to a differ-ent set of clientele: men who want to get their signifi cant others exactly what their hearts desire. Women can come in and create a wish list of several pieces from which their boyfriends, fi ancés and husbands can select a gift for them.

Still, Mai, Spencer and Wong are most excited about Fair Trade Gemstone Month, which will start with an open house on Saturday, Dec. 1st from 12 to 5 p.m. and continue throughout the month with the studio opening an additional day each week - Mondays - December 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th.

This December at Trios’ Studio in Lake Oswego, you can get Fair Trade jewelry for a fair price – 20 percent off, to be exact.

Fair Trade is: “Treating the earth and the people who mine its gifts with respect.”

If there’s a place where environ-mental and economic values can co-exist, it has to be the Columbia River’s West Hayden Island —

which offers the Portland region a ra-re piece of land to accommodate both new jobs and important wildlife habi-tat.

The city of Portland should move forward quickly, but still prudently, with a compromise that would allow a portion of the island to be annexed and zoned for industrial purposes.

Portland has a well-documented shortage of land for industry. It also has an obligation to preserve or re-place habitat lands as development oc-curs. In this case, the city also must protect livability for the people who reside on Hayden Island.

These three seemingly competing interests are not mutually exclusive.

The Port of Portland can eventually develop marine terminals on West Hayden Island while also leaving the bulk of the island untouched for wild-life — and it can do so without overly burdening its human neighbors. The question now before Portland’s Plan-ning and Sustainability Commission — and soon the City Council — is whether the city is ready to move beyond unending process and agree to zone 300 acres, out of a total of 800, for industrial purposes and to annex that land into the city.

By approving the annexation and zoning, the city would set the stage for the port someday to build termi-nals along the Columbia River ship-ping channels. These terminals would expand Portland’s economy, supporting thousands of jobs and al-

lowing the port — which is a major driver of the entire state’s economy — to continue its success.

Mayor Sam Adams, whose term concludes at the end of the year, is pushing to get a Hayden Island deci-sion before he leaves offi ce. He laid out a framework last week that could serve as the basis for progress. Ad-

ams’ proposal, which in-cludes substantial cash payments from the port,

will need to be revised, but it suc-ceeds in identifying the types of mea-sures required to reach a compro-mise.

Adams suggested that the port pay $32.6 million up front to accomplish a variety of goals, including environ-mental restoration, assistance to neighbors and development of hiking trails. Adams is asking for a lot from

the port — likely too much in the way of upfront cash. Plus, the timing of such payments would have to be fur-ther negotiated. After all, why should the port pay millions of dollars now, if it doesn’t have a deal to build the terminals and if any such develop-ment is still years away?

We do, however, agree with Adams’ attempt to fashion a compromise that allows the annexation to move ahead. If the details of this compromise can be worked out in time for a decision this year, that’s all the better for peo-ple interested in advancing the local economy. Pushing this off to the New Year — and a new mayor and council — will only delay what we believe will be an inevitable decision to make room for jobs, wildlife and liv-able communities on West Hayden Island.

On Sunday, Nov. 4, a group of us gathered with a singular pur-pose: to tell a broader

story than the Portland Tribune’s article (Teachers protest drum beat on race, Nov. 1).

We are from Roosevelt and Franklin high schools yet we rep-resent efforts across our own schools and our district. Two of us are African American. One is Latina. The rest are white. White educators and educators of color believe in this work.

As public servants, we view ra-cial equity work as a moral im-perative. Nearly half of Portland Public Schools’ students are of color. Yet academic outcomes — especially for African American, Native American and Latino stu-dents — lag far behind their white peers. And we are sus-pending, expelling and referring students of color to special edu-cation at rates far higher than white students.

If our classroom practices are not serving all students well, if our practices lead us to push out rather than educate so many stu-dents, then our practices must change.

We have been implementing racial equity practices in our schools for some time. Our cur-rent protocol — Courageous Con-versations on Race — has been the most far reaching. Classifi ed staff, custodians, central offi ce staff, administrators and teach-ers are all engaged. We all own the responsibility for this equity work.

We are proud of our colleagues who chose to use their profes-sional development stipends to

attend the Summit for Coura-geous Conversation in San Anto-nio. The cost was a fraction of what we spend on remedial edu-cation. Investing in teaching all students well the fi rst time feels worth it to us.

Our racial equity work is not about slighting white students. It’s about developing a superior education for all students — valuing all kids and learning to-gether.

Here’s one example:Nationally and in our district,

most students in Advanced Placement classes are white — not because students of color can’t handle the work but be-cause we rarely ask them to try.

At Franklin and at Roosevelt, we’ve opened AP courses to all students and provided the sup-ports for all to succeed.

At Franklin we did it by start-ing the Advanced Scholar Pro-gram in 2008-09. Each participant checks in regularly with a men-tor and the whole group meets monthly to support each other and learn organizational and col-lege application skills.

Last year, our 48 Advanced Scholar Program graduates were virtually evenly split between white students and students of every color. All students who have completed the program have graduated and been accept-ed to college — more than 90 percent to a four-year institution.

This year, nearly 400 students have signed on as Advanced Scholars. Now we’re asking why not require every student to take at least one college-credit bear-ing course?

At Roosevelt, we did it in 2004 when we split into three small schools.

We intentionally assigned once unlikely students to AP classes. We literally brought La-tino students up from the base-

ment where they used to take ESL classes and launched the Spanish-English International School. We put them in AP cours-es including AP Spanish Lan-guage and AP Spanish Literature where they learn and develop bi-lingually.

It was the beginning of our transformation to a college-going culture for all students. Now we’ve opened our College & Ca-reer Transitions Center and are engaging students in Civil Rights history and galvanizing them to view going to college as their civ-il right. Now SEIS has evolved in-to our Spanish Immersion pro-gram and Roosevelt is again one school. Native and non-native Spanish speakers read such works as “Don Quixote” in Span-ish and pass the AP exam.

Far from being sequestered in the basement, such students as Angel Gutierrez is on a full ride scholarship at Brown University and David Cortes is a Gates Mil-lennium Scholar at the Universi-ty of Miami. Students of all races are graduating at higher rates from Roosevelt and going on to college.

Expecting all students to take AP courses is about seeing all students’ gifts. “Thank you for

seeing me” — that was the mes-sage that a Latino Roosevelt graduate who aced his AP exams returned this fall to tell us on his way to becoming a police offi cer.

At both of our schools, opening up AP classes predated our Cou-rageous Conversations protocol. Now the protocol is deepening our work. It’s helping us see race, see culture, see the myriad ways students learn and adapt our practices to ignite their potential.

And that serves all students.We do white students a disser-

vice by keeping them in a bubble, unequipped to grapple with race as an essential part of identity. Asked one in our group, “If the rest of the world is having coura-geous conversations, how mad will you be at us if we aren’t cou-rageous and your kid leaves the nest unprepared?”

Another in our group spoke of the positive impact of white stu-dents getting to know him, a col-lege-educated black man.

“You can totally impact their lives and how they view every-one after you. Race is not some-thing to run from. No matter what your classroom looks like, these conversations have to be happening.”

That was the feedback Frank-

lin students got this fall from a visiting IBM executive after they did a presentation for him on the Advanced Scholar Program. The executive told them that the pro-gram develops in students exactly what IBM looks for in employees — the T-shaped model: deep skills with broad cultural knowledge.

This work is hard, uncomfort-able and deeply personal. So much feels unresolved. But change is not easy. Nor does it need to be exclusionary. Raising up all students can bring us to-gether. That’s what we want. That’s why we’re here. We are your children’s teachers. We hope you will join us.

What is going on at Scott School? I have a lot of ques-tions (Teachers

Protest Drum Beat on Race, Nov. 1).

I was so excited when I learned it was to be an immer-sion school, and kids could learn about each other and leave the school knowing two languages. I liked Verenice Gutierrez and was sure she would bring a posi-tive learning environment to the little neighborhood school.

The basic premise of Coura-geous Conversations sounds like a program that might help pro-vide educational equity. But any program can be carried to such an extreme that the intended benefi ts are lost. This seems to be what has happened at Scott School.

What happened to celebrating diversity? Is Scott still a public school?

It looks like Latino students are being bused in and white students are being bused out. It reminds me of a reverse of the 1950s when black students were bused in to white schools to inte-grate. Now we are back to segre-gating. Is this really the way we want to “evolve” in our educa-tional system?

Today I learned there was to be a “witch hunt” during the staff meeting. Carole Smith was there and they were going to try to root out those who talked to the Portland Tribune in the Nov. 1 “whiteness” article. Is this to target individuals?

I do not have a student at Scott, but we did have two grandsons who went to school there; one still does, and I was a volunteer for fi ve years at the school.

Race was not a problem until it was introduced by this princi-pal. I know this kind of leader-ship is not good for poor little white kids, and if people really thought about it, is it good for the brown kids either? Is this teaching them to get along in our society or is it making them militant, angry and racist, too?

Also, I am a property owner two blocks from the school and we pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation. I really want to vote for money in schools, but I simply can’t if any student is left out.

How much did it cost the dis-trict out of its special profes-sional development fund to send 93 people to San Antonio for a week? Did money from that fund come from taxpayer dollars? How many more teach-ers could have been hired with the money spent in San Anto-nio?

Seems to me, spending that money to hire more teachers and smaller classrooms would bring the test scores up for all students.

The disparity mentioned in the article to justify this type of school is that 67 percent gradu-ation rate of white students and a 49 percent graduation rate for Hispanic students leaves a large gap in the success rate of stu-dents graduating in the district. Well, frankly, 67 percent isn’t exactly anything to brag about. So, what is the district trying to achieve? Bring the Hispanic graduation rate up to 67 percent (still nothing to brag about); or bring the white graduation rate down to 49 percent. Then we’d all be equal?

The goal of the district ought to be raising graduation rates for all students. This needs to be increased to a goal of at least 90 percent for all students re-

gardless of color. This has been a realistic, attainable goal in other schools in the nation, and there is no good reason it can’t be done in Portland.

The way to increase achieve-ment and the graduation rate for all students is to create a positive learning environment with a focus on student success and academic achievement, not on peanut butter and jelly sand-wiches.

I’d sure be happier voting for school bond measures if more teachers were hired, classroom size was smaller and I could see student achievement increased. Doesn’t money need to be “trickled” down to those we contract to educate?

Is it time for a good house-cleaning both at the school level and the district level?

Geeks (with stats) shall inherit the EarthMYVIEW ● Election results point to need for more cooperation, better messages

The most enduring narrative of 2012 might be a simple re-minder of the familiar max-im: Numbers do not lie.

Nate Silver of The New York Times’ FiveThirtyEight blog, whose polling composite model was consis-tently criticized by establishment media, correctly predicted all 50 states in the Electoral College.

The Obama campaign’s reliance on demographic data points was credited in many post-election ac-counts as a substantial reason that President Obama’s voters turned out to the polls in numbers similar to the 2008 election.

In the same vein, demographics dominated the narratives in local elections as well. Democrats were able to gain four seats in the Oregon House, largely due to wins in subur-ban districts such as Hillsboro and Troutdale, where Democrats have small but signifi cant registration edges.

Ballot measures in Washington concerning marijuana decriminal-ization and same-sex marriage nar-rowly passed on the strength of younger voters with more progres-sive social beliefs.

Renewed momentumAt fi rst glance, this “demograph-

ics as destiny” mentality might seem to fundamentally change the nature of both local and national politics. If one can simply enter the character-istics of a district, state or nation in-to a computer and get projected re-sults of an election, what happens to the speechwriter whose job it is to write stirring narratives to woo un-decided voters?

Selfi shly, I might ask what happens to the political pundit who has read tea leaves for years to predict elec-tions, only to be replaced by a more advanced version of the spreadsheet?

Most importantly, what happens to local and national Republicans, for whom the numbers promise to be even more daunting in future elec-tions?

Fortunately for all parties threat-ened by the rise of the statistician, the most fl uid demographic charac-teristic of voters is party identifi ca-tion. Campaigns and rhetoric still

matter, and numbers can change. There is no reason that Republicans, both locally and nationally, cannot stem the tide of demographics to re-main competitive. To do so, however, Republicans must change the course of their messaging; instead of craft-ing messages that attempt to move voters toward the more extreme ele-ments of their party, they must begin to craft messages that meet voters where they are.

Subtle changes in the messaging of national Republicans are already oc-curring, as issues such as immigra-tion reform are seeing renewed mo-mentum despite strong resistance

from their base. While the evolution of many Republicans on immigration issues might well be met with skepti-cism by critics, such moves are nec-essary to rebrand the Republican Party with a growing Latino voting constituency.

The negotiations on the “fi scal cliff” also give the GOP an opportuni-ty to show voters that they represent more than obstructionism.

Cooperative spiritIn Oregon, the GOP needs a mes-

sage that is distinct from the national party. One would think that the party of Tom McCall and Mark O. Hatfi eld

would have little diffi culty distin-guishing itself, but that identity has faded. In the legislative minority, Re-publicans would be wise to fi nd a messaging strategy that explains where they fi nd agreement with Gov. John Kitzhaber and the Democrats as well as specifi c issues where they wish to create distinction. That nar-rative may not be easy to create, but it would be rewarding for the long-term prospects of the party.

Democrats should be careful not to rest on demographic destiny. If na-tional Democrats take demographic groups for granted, those groups may well move out of their column in

future elections.Kitzhaber and Oregon Democrats

should remain mindful that control of the Legislature is not license for one-party rule. If the same spirit of cooperation that existed in the split House does not return during the next session, suburban Democrats can certainly become suburban Re-publicans.

For the time being, however, the statisticians have spoken. Long live the statisticians.

The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 15, 2012A8 NEWS

The Tribune

Oregon lost about 2,400 jobs in October, as the state unemployment rate re-mained stuck at 8.6 percent.

State employment econo-mists said Wednesday that the unemployment rate was essen-tially unchanged from Septem-ber’s 8.7 percent. A year ago, the unemployment rate was 9.3 percent.

In October, 159,439 Orego-nians were unemployed. The state’s unemployment rate has hovered at about 8.4 percent to

8.9 percent for the past 10 months.

However, state Employment Economist Nick Beleiciks says the state could be poised for a good holiday hiring season.

Economists announcing the unemployment rate in Salem said the state’s nonfarm pay-roll fell by 2,400 jobs last month. In September, the state lost 800 jobs, an adjustment from the original loss of 7,900 jobs that was reported in October.

During the past year, the state has actually gained about 15,300 jobs, with the private

sector adding an estimated 17,500 jobs and government cutting about 2,200 jobs.

According to economists, the construction industry cut 900 jobs in October, about 500 more than the typical seasonal loss of 1,400 jobs for October. Since October 2011, the industry is down 500 jobs.

Private sector educational and health services added 2,700 jobs in October. Government employment rose by 17,700 in October, mostly due to staffi ng at K-12 schools and community colleges.

other weatherization, relocate from the complex or buy new mobile homes.

“I think that makes a lot of sense,” says Bill Wyatt, Port of Portland executive director. “The manufactured home com-munity has been a particular concern for the (city) council,” Wyatt says. “To be honest, that’s their primary focus.”

The bulk of the mobile homes are single-wide and several de-cades old, and the community of 1,200 people includes many older residents on fi xed incomes.

Mitigate land lossAdams also wants the port to

pay $5.8 million to acquire land for two park sites, and pay for hiking and biking trails and a park endowment, plus another $2.5 million allotted for various community improvement proj-ects.

Despite the concessions dan-gled before mobile home resi-dents, they aren’t budging from their staunch opposition to any industrial development a half-mile away, especially without a bridge that would take trucks off North Hayden Island Drive.

“Every neighbor I’ve talked to, nobody wants it,” says Tom Da-na, who represents the mobile home community on the city’s Hayden Island Advisory Com-mittee. “You can’t mitigate for childhood asthma.”

The mobile home park is quiet and safe, with little traffi c, Dana says. Most space rentals are $509 a month, though some pay more for living on riverfront sites. Used mobile homes can be pur-chased on site for $40,000 to $60,000, he says.

But many expect home values to plummet if the marine termi-nals are built, he says, and empty spaces to mar the community as residents leave and can’t sell their homes.

Adams’ proposal to increase funds for community projects isn’t winning over the neighbor-hood association for Hayden Is-land, known as Hi-Noon.

“Not at all,” says Ron Schmidt, association chairman. Adams isn’t calling for any mitigation for the fl oating home owners on the island, Schmidt says, though some are 200 feet from the pro-posed railroad tracks to serve the terminals. Those are even closer to the development than the mobile home owners, Schmidt says.

Adams also proposed that the port put up $20.6 million to miti-gate the loss of forest land and other environmental impacts of its project.

Despite that, the Audubon So-ciety of Portland still fi ercely op-poses annexation of west Hayden Island.

The proposal before the plan-ning commission is a now out-dated city-port deal inked in Au-gust that doesn’t include the mayor’s new proposals or a host of other subsequent changes, says Bob Sallinger, Audubon conservation director.

“What the planning commis-sion has before it, and what the public has before it, is really an incoherent mess,” Sallinger says. “Suddenly, at the very last minute, all the numbers are shifting.”

Agreement in worksAt fi rst glance, it appeared Ad-

ams upped the ante for the port.But his new proposal is more

of a shifting of where the port’s money would go, says Susie Lah-sene, the port’s transportation and land use policy manager.

“I don’t think the amount has changed that much,” she says.

For starters, after two consul-tants concluded that $21 million in transportation improvements are needed, a new analysis by the Portland Bureau of Trans-portation cut that to $10 million, Lahsene says, and now is bank-ing on raising the money from the state or federal government, not the port. The city also re-duced some of the port’s expect-ed costs for environmental miti-

gation.The mayor’s new proposal “re-

directed some of those savings to the community,” Lahsene says.

Adams is jock-eying to mollify critics while keep-ing the port from walking away from the develop-ment due to high costs.

The standard price to get marine industrial lands ready for develop-ment is $5 to $7 per square foot, Lah-sene says. Earlier conditions set by the city would cost the port $9 to $10 per foot, she says, while the mayor’s new plan could lower that to $8.25 per square foot, or upwards of $9.25 per square foot if the port has to pay for North Hayden Island Drive improvements.

While Wyatt calls Adams’ pro-posal “very intriguing,” he also indicated the port has more ne-gotiating to do on the overall

terms.“We’re basically

draining our bank account to do something like that,” Wyatt says. “We will invest more than we will ever see in our re-turns.”

Adams offered the port a lower price for environ-mental mitigation in part because the money would come up front. But the timing for port pay-ments is still up for negotiations, be-cause the port doesn’t want to in-

vest too much into a site that might not yield rent-paying ten-ants for a decade or two.

“It would be a bad economic decision on the port’s part with-

out certainty associated with the development,” Lahsene says.

There was grousing from planning commissioners Tues-day that they’ll start taking tes-timony tonight before seeing Adams’ proposal in writing, and before the West Hayden Advi-sory Committee adopts fi ndings. Some commissioners pushed back against Adams’ pressure to fast-track the proposal, saying they want plenty of time to con-sider the project.

Eric Engstrom, the city’s prin-cipal planner, says planners will commit the port and city’s new agreements to paper, via a re-vised intergovernmental agree-ment, after hearing public testi-mony tonight.

“Next step is meeting with stakeholders to put more fl esh on the bones of the agreement Sam presented Friday,” says Jonna Papaefthimiou, the may-or’s planning and sustainability policy adviser. “We will have new language for review short-ly.”

Hayden: Angry residents blast latest proposal■ From page 1

TRIBUNE PHOTO: CHRISTOPHER ONSTOTT

Tom Dana (left), and Pam Ferguson, representatives of the Hayden Island Manufactured Home Community Home Owners Association, fear that residents’ health, economic well-being and quality of life will suffer if marine terminals are built a half-mile away.

“The manufactured home community has been a particular concern for the (city) council. To be honest, that’s their primary focus.”

— Bill Wyatt, Port of Portland

Unemployment stays at 8.6 percent

The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 15, 2012 NEWS A9

They’ve raised alpacas on their 20-acre property in Glen-wood for 17 years and have seen interest in the wool grow.

Now they’re bringing the al-paca collection to Portland, as one of this year’s downtown PDX Pop-Up shops, which offi -cially opened for the holiday shopping season last week.

Thayer thinks it’ll be a per-fect fi t.

“It’s kind of been a growing community, trying to reclaim textiles in this country again,” she says. “We really are trying to show people where clothes come from. ... I would like to think people are willing to pay a little more to get things from a local source.”

The Enchanted Alpaca, 902 S.W. Morrison St., is one of four “pop-ups” created as part of the Downtown Retail Strategy in 2009 to showcase independent

and local design talent, support emerging entrepreneurs, en-courage downtown shoppers and activate vacant retail space to showcase the space for future tenants.

Four years into the program, the shops have proven their value to the city, shoppers and participating entrepreneurs.

“They are all so well thought out, professional and well pre-sented,” says Jake Frances, co-founder of Boys Fort, a man-themed gift shop that originally opened in North Portland in 2001 and is now returning for its second year as a downtown pop-up.

Frances says his shop — which features the works of 48 local artists — was the most successful of last year’s pop-ups, bringing in more than $100,000 in sales during the six-week season.

The four pop-ups netted a combined $225,000 last year, and many expect this season to be a bigger one.

This year, Boys Fort is at a new location, in the lobby of the Governor Hotel, 614 S.W. 11th Ave.

The two other pop-ups this year include: Wolf’s Apothe-cary, 902 S.W. Morrison, which sells local health and beauty products as well as turn-of-the-century and modern home goods; and Emit, 535 S.W. Sixth Ave., a women’s apparel shop that blends per-formance fabric with modern fashions.

Other part-ners in the proj-ect include the Portland Busi-ness Alliance, Clean & Safe Dis-trict, Portland D e v e l o p m e n t C o m m i s s i o n , Downtown Retail Advocate, Down-town Marketing Initiative, city of Portland, Viz-werks, BPM Associates and The Governor Hotel.

Excited about local shopsWhen it comes to shopping in

Portland, downtown is just one choice. Neighborhood business districts are again marketing their unique personalities with a calendar of 31 holiday events, starting this weekend.

“Retail success during the holiday season contributes to a business’ overall health, is the key to job retention and growth throughout the entire year,” says

Heather Hoell, exec-utive director of Venture Portland, the organization that promotes and celebrates the 16,000 businesses in the city’s 50 business districts.

Hoell says she’s seeing some “good signs” pointing at strong sales for the holidays. The calen-dar of “Localize the Season” events will contribute to what she hopes will be a successful quarter.

This month Ven-ture Portland dis-tributed $30,000 to

fund 12 economic development projects in the city’s neighbor-hood business districts, much of which went to support the holi-day events.

One of the events that will con-tinue for a second year is “Little Boxes,” which kicked off last year with 90 neighborhood shops on Black Friday.

Customers got a stamp from

each shop they patronized, and the more stamps collected, the better chance they had to win a prize drawing.

This year it’s expanded to 170 participating businesses over two days, Nov. 24 and 25.

Little Boxes co-organizer Bet-

sy Cross, a jewelry designer at Northwest Portland’s Betsy & Iya boutique, says sales last year during Little Boxes were huge, bringing in a ton of people who said they hadn’t thought of shop-ping local on Black Friday before.

“It’s a fun way to think about

shopping, instead of a dreadful way, like getting up in the middle of the night,” she says. “This is just an alternative to that. A way to hopefully feel excited about the local shops and the warm, in-viting atmosphere we have to offer.”

T he start of Day Light savings time can sometimes cause problems in getting back into the natural rhythm of sleep. Sleep is essential for overall health and is as important as diet and exercise. Since we are a 24/7 society, we strive to do more on less sleep and the result is that many people are experiencing sleep diffi culties.

According to the National Institute of Health, Sleep Disorders Research, an estimated 25-30% of the general adult population and a comparable percentage of children and adolescents are af-fected by disruptions in their sleeping habits. Th e Centers for Disease Control indicate that sleep defi ciency among Americans is widespread.

Research is showing strong evidence that lost sleep is a serious matter. Th e lack of sleep has been linked to poor work performance, driving accidents, relationship problems, and mood problems like anger and depression. In children and adolescents it’s often associated with attention-related behavioral problems and poor academic performance.

The Portland Tribune Thursday, November 15, 2012A10 NEWS

Local government offi cials who planned to seek tax increases in the May 2013 special election might want to consider if they really want to take their

chances with a group of Portland vot-ers stirred up about fl uoridation.

At least three ballot measures are potential candidates for the May ballot: the Metro Council is considering asking for a property tax levy to manage open spaces in the region; city Commissioner Dan Saltzman wants to extend the Children’s Levy; and City Commissioner Nick Fish is look-ing at a parks and recreation levy.

But now a large block of angry voters is guar-anteed to cast ballots in May. Opponents of the city’s fl uoridation plan submitted 33,015 valid Portland voter signatures — far more than the 19,858 required to put it on the ballot.

These voters already are furious at the city and more than a little distrustful — which means tax levy proponents have one more factor to weigh before deciding whether to proceed.

Art campaign stays cool

One surprise of the 2012 general election was the easy passage of Portland’s $35 per-person art tax. Two major independent polls showed it like-ly to lose in the closing days of the election. But the campaign calmly refuted the validity of the polls in an Oct. 30 email. It noted the polls asked voters how they felt about the art tax instead of showing them the language as it appeared on the ballot.

In the email, the campaign said it had conduct-

ed four internal polls that showed voters the measure’s actual language. When that happened,

voters supported it by margins ranging from 68 percent to 76 percent. Sure enough, on

election night, the measure passed with more than 60 percent of the

vote.

Lessons from women leaders

The Center for Women, Politics & Policy at Portland State University is

launching a digital archive of personal pa-pers of fi ve well-known Oregon women political leaders. The purpose is to help students and oth-ers better understand the paths to leadership these and other women took in Oregon.

The archive includes documentation on efforts the late Betty Robert undertook to retain her name after marrying Keith Skelton. Roberts, an attorney, state legislator and Oregon Supreme Court judge, faced both legal and cultural chal-lenges to her political career not that long ago.

In addition to Roberts, the archive includes pa-pers from: equity activist Eleanor Davis; former state legislator Avel Gordly; former state legisla-tor, Multnomah County Commissioner and Port-land City Commissioner Gretchen Kafoury; and former Multnomah County Commissioner, state legislator, secretary of state and Gov. Barbara Roberts.

The mission of the Center for Women, Politics & Policy is to increase women’s leadership in public policy through targeted teaching and com-munity service programs.

The archive will be available through its web-site at cwpp.pdx.edu.

This program is not financed by or connected in any manner with any governmental agency or veteran’s or other organization.

Weighing fl uoride’s effect

By JIM REDDENThe Tribune

In another sign of the econ-omy’s uneven recovery, the number of employees in-creased in downtown Port-land between 2010 and 2011 even though the number of their employers fell.

That’s one fi nding of the 2011 Downtown Portland Business Census & Survey released on Monday by the Portland Business Alliance, which represents busi-ness owners throughout the city.

“It’s good to see we are mak-ing progress. It’s a slow but steady upward trend,” says Me-gan Doern, the PBA’s vice presi-dent for communications and programming.

The annual survey was con-ducted the Clean & Safe District, which is managed by the PBA and provides services to im-prove livability in 213 blocks within the Interstate 5 and In-terstate 405 loop.

The survey also found down-town employees earned more than $5.5 billion in wages in 2011. This is the fi rst survey to gauge income, and Doern says it will be tracked in coming years.

“We want policy makers and others to be aware that down-town is an economic driver,” says Doern.

According to the survey, the total number of their employees in the area increased from 87,038

to 87,588 since 2010. The relative small size of the increase — 550 employees — hides dramatic shifts within some industry sec-tors, however.

For example, the number of professional, scientific and technical services employees increased by 1,328, jumping from 15,710 to 17,038 workers. The number of government em-ployees increased, growing from 7,846 to 8,805, a gain of 959 workers.

Construction jobs also in-creased by 468, growing from 2,073 to 2,541.

“That’s probably related to the number of construction jobs downtown,” says Doern.

At the same time, the number of fi nance and insurance employ-ees shrank by 224, dropping from 10,667 to 10,433 workers.

Cleanup requestsThe increase marks the second

year of gains since 2009, when downtown employment peaked. The district changed the survey’s methodology in 2010, however, making exact comparisons with previous years diffi cult.

Despite the increase in total employees, the number of em-ployers dropped from 3,615 to 3,599 from 2010 to 2011. The big-gest decrease was in “other ser-vices,” which shrank from 285 to 272 employers. At the same time, the number of professional, sci-entific and technical services employers increased from 1,121 to 1,137.

According to the survey, 38 percent of employers said the health of their enterprise had im-proved during the prior two

years, the same percent that said it had remained the same. An-other 24 percent of the compa-nies in the survey reported a de-cline.

Despite the employment gains, 75 percent of employers said they did not plan to expand during the next two years, while 25 percent said they planned ex-pansion.

A majority of employers — 67 percent — “very much” support the district’s holiday lighting program. It is “somewhat sup-ported” by 27 percent; “hardly” or “not at all” supported by 4 percent.

The survey also measured at-titudes toward the cleanliness and safety of downtown Port-land. It found that 20 percent of employers consider downtown “very clean,” 60 percent said it was “OK,” and 20 percent said it needs improvement.

Doern says the district has worked hard to respond quickly to cleanup requests. For exam-ple, it recently supplemented its large cleaning truck with a ped-al-powered trike that carries cleaning supplies.

The survey also found that 9 percent of employers think downtown is “very safe,” 47 per-cent think it is just “safe,” 39 per-cent think it is “moderately safe” and 5 percent think it is “not safe.”

Factors that need improve-ment, according to the survey, include panhandlers, cited by 59 percent of respondents, followed by transients at 52 percent, the cost of parking at 37 percent, taxes at 24 percent and the avail-ability of parking at 23 percent.

Some ups, some downs. That’s the way it is for every rookie in the NBA — even one with as much talent as Damian

Lillard.The Trail Blazers’ much-ac-

claimed rookie point guard couldn’t have gotten out of the blocks any cleaner, with at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his fi rst three games. In the NBA’s 65-year history, only the great Oscar Robert-son had achieved that to start his career.

Since then, bumps have surfaced. There was the 2-for-13 shooting per-formance in a loss at Dallas. And the 5-for-18 in Monday’s loss to Atlanta that left the No. 6 pick in the 2012 draft wondering what happened to his touch.

“Those nights are going to hap-pen,” Portland coach Terry Stotts philosophized.

Stotts is right. Nobody is growing impatient with Lillard, the best thing the Blazers have going as they point toward a future they hope will lead to big things.

With Tuesday’s 103-86 victory at Sacramento came a strong sample of the good stuff. Lillard pushed the “on” button, collecting 22 points on 7-for-10-shooting — 5 for 6 from be-yond the 3-point stripe — and nine assists in a dominant performance.

Every time he steps onto the court, Lillard makes an impression. It was that way even as the Hawks built a huge lead, then held off a Portland rally to close out a victory down the stretch on a night when the rookie wasn’t on top of his game.

“He’s going to be special — wait, let me change that,” says Atlanta’s No. 1 assistant coach, Lester Conner. “He’s special right now.”

Conner, the former Oregon State great, has a connection with Lillard. They’re both from Oakland, as are such illustrious point guards as Gary Payton and Jason Kidd.

“The kid has no weaknesses,” Conner says. Atlanta head coach

Larry Drew “said the same thing when we were going over our scout-ing report for Portland. Point guard is the hardest position to learn in the NBA. He has it down. He is play-ing already like a second- or third-year pro.”

If there is a quality Conner likes most, it is Lillard’s toughness.

“He’s not afraid to drive into traf-fi c, shake it in there and get some-

thing done,” says Conner, whose 12-year NBA career ended in 1995. “He has great range on his shot. He makes his free throws. He competes at both ends — a little more on the offensive end than the defensive, but he takes on the defensive challenge.

“And you always see him under control. He plays with a lot of confi dence.”

That’s the thing I’ve appreciated most in Lillard during his fi rst two weeks as a Blazer. The 6-3, 195-pounder displays uncommon poise for a rookie. He doesn’t force things. He swings the ball to the right teammates. On the other hand, he is not afraid to take the big shot, even if he has not been hitting on a given night.

“His court demeanor is one of his strengths,” Stotts says. “He’s unfl ap-pable. He’s a great competitor, and he wants to be really good.

“People were putting his fi rst three games in historical perspec-tive, but he’s not looking at it like that. He’s saying, ‘I can play so much better.’ ”

His 71-restaurant Jack in the Box empire and Kobra Properties de-velopment company col-lapsed, he lost a civil case for $8.5 million brought by City National Bank of Los Angeles, and he wound up

facing 105 felony counts.But the 54-year-old Alizadeh

was released from jail last year on $1 million bail, and last week he struck a deal that could keep him from serving serious time.

Alizadeh pleaded no contest to one felony charge of grand theft and two misdemanors re-garding misappropriation of sales tax and unemployment insurance payments. He was alleged to have diverted more than $5.4 million in sales tax payments and nearly $1.8 mil-lion in unemployment insur-ance payments.

The plea deal postpones any sentencing for four years — and, if he pays $300,000 each year toward the money he ow-es the state of California, he will receive three years’ pro-bation. If he fails to pay, he could be sentenced for up to 52 months in prison.

Alizadeh and partners bought the Beavers and Tim-bers in March 2005 for a re-ported $7 million to $12 mil-lion. At the time, Alizadeh was the owner of select T.G. I. Fri-day’s restaurants in Portland, as well.

In 2007, Alizadeh sold the two teams to current owner Merritt Paulson and his group.

■ U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe from the University of Portland received the Board of Directors award Saturday from the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center.

■ Roosevelt High graduate Terrell Malley, a junior at

Willamette, was named Northwest Conference of-fensive stu-dent-athlete of the week for his play in a Nov. 3 football win over Pacif-ic. Malley ran 12 times for 87

yards and a touchdown and caught seven passes for 104 yards and another TD, as the Bearcats won 35-31 at Forest Grove.

Malley came back last Sat-urday with another big day, as Willamette pounded Puget Sound 55-0 to fi nish 8-2. He caught nine passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns and had one carry for 29 yards.

■ Alert readers note that I neglected to mention one local product last week in a list of players trying out for NBA D-League teams. Center Brian Barkdoll from Central Catho-lic is back with the Tulsa 66ers. The regular season starts Friday and runs through April 6.

Field-goal kickers and punters are much like refer-ees in one respect. You notice them most when they fl ub up.

Sophomores Trevor Romaine and Keith Kostol have had their embarrassing moments this season, but they’ve been much more plus than bust for Oregon State, which plays host to Cali-fornia at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Reser Stadium.

Both have earned Pac-12 spe-

cial teams player of the week honors — Kostol for his perfor-mance in a Sept. 22 victory over UCLA, Romaine for his work in last Saturday’s 27-23 loss at Stanford.

Romaine leads the Pac-12 in fi eld-goal percentage (.867) and is on a roll, going 3 for 3 in the 15th-ranked Beavers’ last two games — a win over Arizona State and a loss at Stanford.

Kostol ranks ninth in the league in punting average at 42 yards and has seven of 50-plus, including a 67-yarder against the Cardinal. Not bad for a soph-omore walk-on punting in his fi rst college season.

“I’m proud of both of them,” OSU coach Mike Riley says. “They’ve done a really good job

for us.”Romaine, a 6-foot, 200-pound

native of Corona, Calif., has been much improved over a year ago, when he was thrown to the wolves as a true freshman. He was 12 for 14 on kicks from in-side 40 yards but 3 for 8 on at-tempts beyond it, with a long of 46 yards against Cal.

This year, Romaine is 8 for 9

inside 40 and 5 for 6 from beyond the mark, including four beyond 40 in the past two games. His only misses have been from 40 against Wisconsin and from 35 against Arizona. Since then, he has drilled nine in a row.

“I’ve fi nally gotten comfort-able back there just kicking through the ball,” Romaine says. “Since I had those two misses, I’ve gone back to the basics. It’s like a pitcher in baseball. You don’t want to aim the pitch.”

Romaine is the best kickoff man for the Beavers since Jose Cortez in 1997 and ‘98 — and bet-ter than two greats since then, Groza Award winner Alexis Serna and Kirk Yliniemi. As a freshman, Romaine put 11 of 40 kickoffs into the end zone for

touchbacks. This season, with the kickoff moved up fi ve yards to the 40, he has 29 touchbacks in 50 kickoffs.

“That’s 58 percent,” he says. “I’d like to get it up there be-tween 80 and 85 percent.”

Still, veteran teams coach Bruce Read says, “That’s pretty good stuff. He has a powerful leg.”

Read gives Romaine credit for his regimen prior to the 2012 campaign.

“Trevor worked hard in the offseason, a complete fl ip from a year ago,” Read says. “He’d gone to a high school where they blew everybody out. He kicked off seven or eight times a game and

ROMAINE KOSTOL

By JASON VONDERSMITHThe Tribune

EUGENE — It’s all about practice and preparation, Ore-gon coach Chip Kelly preaches. And receiver Josh Huff has been heeding the words of the wise one.

“He’s really starting to emerge as one of the top receivers in this league,” says Kelly, who will guide the No. 1-ranked and unbeaten Ducks into their 5 p.m. Saturday Pac-12 matchup with Stanford at Autzen Stadium. “A diffi cult match-up one-on-one. Good blocker. Ev-erything you’d want in a receiver.”

Quarterback Marcus Mariota has readily delivered the ball to the athletic, 5-10, 200-pound junior in

recent games. And Huff’s perfor-mance has made the Ducks even more lethal.

Huff had only six catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns through seven games, with no catches in two games and no plays in two oth-ers while he had a knee injury. In the last three games, including vis-its to USC and Cal, he’s been out-standing (14 receptions for 283 yards and fi ve touchdowns).

“Josh has done a good job of bat-tling through injuries, working through stuff,” Mariota says. “He’s always getting open, and gets big yards after the catch. He’s one of a lot of guys ... who can really get open.”

D’Anthony Thomas leads Ore-gon in receiving with 37 receptions

for 378 yards and four touchdowns. Rookie Bralon Addison has 22 re-ceptions for 243 yards and three scores, Daryle Hawkins 20 catches for 175 yards and three scores. Ken-jon Barner (18), Keanon Lowe (17), tight end Colt Lyerla (16), Will Mur-phy (12) and Dwayne Stanford (11) also have their share of receptions. Lyerla has six touchdowns.

But Huff provides the great speed for the deep ball, and he brought two years of experience into this season. He communicates with Mariota often on the sideline to let him know what passes might work.

“I just had to be patient,” says Huff, who had fi ve catches for 109

Damian Lillard is the early leader for the NBA rookie of the year award, but he is far from satisfi ed with his play at point guard for the Trail Blazers.

kicked PATs and that’s all he had to do.

“In the Pac-12, every kick counts. It was a huge transition from being able to meander his way through it to really becom-ing a good kicker. He could have used a redshirt year, but we threw him right into the fi re. He was good on shorter kicks, but on fi eld goals over 40 yards, he wasn’t very accurate.”

Romaine spent much of the offseason working on strength and fi tness, and it has paid off.

“His whole attitude and work ethic and understanding of what he’s into is completely different now,” Read says. “When he came, he thought he could roll in here and it would all come easy. Last year, I had to tell him to do everything at practice. This year, he has taken on that re-sponsibility himself.”

Gradually, Romaine has gained the confi dence of Riley, who is more apt to turn to his

kicker than he was to start the season. Romaine knocked home a 45-yarder — with 10 yards to spare — as time expired in the first half to draw the Beavers even with ASU at 19-19.

Romaine, who hit a 52-yarder as a prep senior, has enough leg to connect from much farther.

“I made one from 64 in pre-game at Washington,” he says. “But I have complete faith in Coach Riley knowing when we should or shouldn’t go for it. If they need me to make 50-plus, I’ll do my best to do it.”

It’s an upset that Kostol is playing college football. He was a soccer player at Tigard High until his junior year, when he handled place-kicking duties for the football team. As a senior, he was both kicker and punter for the Tigers and a standout in track and fi eld, placing fourth in the high jump at the state meet.

Kostol decided he was going to attend Oregon State to study engineering.

“I didn’t even know I was go-

ing to play until after I signed up for housing,” he says. “I fi gured I might as well try to get on the football team.”

He sent game video to Read, who took on the 6-3, 190-pound Kostol as an invited walk-on in 2010.

“Keith was tall and had some qualities I thought might pan out,” Read says. “He hadn’t played football for a long time, and it seemed like he had up-side. He didn’t have a lot of bad habits.”

Kostol redshirted but traveled with the Beavers during the 2010 season, then backed up Johnny Hekker — now a rookie with the St. Louis Rams — last season. During August camp, he beat out the punter on scholarship,

transfer Tim McMullen.“Keith’s an iron man,” Read

says. “This summer he was here as much as anybody on our team working out — punting, run-ning, lifting. He grinded his way to the starting position.”

After an auspicious debut — he let a snap slip through his hands and was tackled in the opener against Wisconsin — Kostol has been solid and at times outstanding. He has done a beautiful job with hang time. Opponents have returned only 11 punts for 76 yards all season.

“He tends to punt the ball higher than farther,” Read says. “That helps with the punt for-mation (shield) we’re using this year.”

Kostol isn’t complaining.“I’m glad the coaches saw

something in me,” he says. “I was almost cut from the team a couple of times. Now, here I am, starting. It’s great.”

yards and three TDs against California, a week after netting six receptions for 125 yards and two scores in the epic USC game. “I let everything come to me, put my trust in God, keep my faith, and continue to work hard in ev-erything I do. Now that I’m 100 percent healthy, I’m making plays people want me to make.”

“I’m absolutely proud of him and couldn’t be happier for him,” Barner says. “He deserves it. Works hard in practice. Bat-tled through some injuries. Josh steps up in crucial moments.”

While watching LaMichael James and Barner rise to promi-nence the past two years, Huff contributed a total of 50 recep-tions for 733 yards and five touchdowns and showed his ver-satility. He also rushed 12 times for 214 yards and two scores as a fi ll-in running back in 2010.

It makes him happy to be part of an offense that is built around the run game and often calls on its receivers to block.

“It makes the game a lot more fun when you have a balanced attack,” he says. “We have so many key players, it’s impossi-

ble for us to be stopped.”■ Different week, different

Heisman Trophy candidate for the Ducks?

First, Thomas was all the rage, pictured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Then, it was Barner, reaching an unprece-dented level with 321 yards and five touchdowns against USC. Now, it’s the redshirt freshman Mariota, who was a combined 47 of 57 passing for 681 yards and 10 TDs against USC and Cal, and displayed his running ability and speed.

“You hear (Heisman) talk from family and friends, so you know it goes on,” says Mariota, who has completed 71.7 percent for 2,164 yards and 28 TDs, with fi ve interceptions. “I just try to take it one game at a time, and not think about things like that.”

Ironically, a former Oregon commit, Texas A&M redshirt freshman QB Johnny Manziel, also has jumped into Heisman talk after leading the Aggies to victory at Alabama. Mariota met Manziel at an Oregon camp, and they played together in a high school all-star game. Ore-gon could have ended up with both QBs, had Manziel not de-committed.

“He’s a really good guy, an in-credible athlete. You can see what he does on the fi eld,” Mari-ota says. “It’s crazy, his vision and all that stuff. He’s fun to watch.”

Comparisons are aplenty, in-cluding, “maybe improvising would be one thing I see we both kind of have,” Mariota adds. “We’re both good fits for our teams.”

Mariota keeps getting better. His six TD passes against USC tied the school record.

“Yeah, the past couple weeks, the game is slowly slowing down,” he says. “It’s (me) getting used to what’s going on and playing Division I football. As I get more comfortable, I feel it’ll keep getting slower, and things will work out for me.”

■ Injuries abounded on the Oregon defense last week, but defensive linemen Taylor Hart, Isaac Remington, Ricky Heimuli and Dion Jordan were listed on

the depth chart for the Stanford game — the D-line being the most banged-up unit. It remains to be seen how well they each play.

It appears Erick Dargan, a 5-10, 210-pound sophomore from Pittsburg, Calif., will replace Av-ery Patterson (knee injury) at free safety. Patterson had re-placed an injured John Boyett.

“He’s playing a lot of positions — corner, nickel, safety, rover,” defensive coordinator Nick Ali-otti says, of Dargan. “His intelli-gence and skill helps us tremen-dously.”

■ Central Catholic’s Alex Bal-ducci broke into the defensive line rotation at Cal, coming out of his redshirt season. Injuries forced coaches to call on the 6-4, 290-pound Balducci, rather than, say, junior college transfer Stet-zon Bair.

One would think Balducci would stay in the rotation, espe-cially with Wade Keliikipi ex-pected to be out for the season.

“I think that’s probably what the deal is going to be,” Balducci says. “I feel I worked and trained for this, and all my listening to Coach Az (Jerry Azzinaro) and working hard in practice paid off.”

MHCC (10-0 league, 29-9 over-all) is the defending conference champion.

■ Danny Brakebush, a freshman from Central Catho-lic, made a strong debut for Pa-cifi c University’s basketball team last week. The 6-3 swing-

man came off the bench for a game-high 19 points, making 8 of 10 shots, including 3 of 5 from beyond the arc, as the Boxers lost 77-58 at Portland State.

“We knew when we got him that we had a special player,” Pacifi c coach Tim Cleary says.

Lillard’s drive and discipline comes in no small part from his upbringing in a lower-class sec-tion of Oakland. Gang activity tempted all the kids of his and the surrounding neighborhoods, but parents Hugh Lillard and Gi-na Johnson didn’t let him get swallowed in the dangerous en-vironment.

“It was rough where I grew up in east Oakland,” Lillard says. “There was a lot of stuff go-ing on. A lot of people I grew up with ended up doing things that hurt them in the long run. Luck-ily for me, I had family and peo-ple steering me in the right di-rection.”

Though Lillard’s parents nev-er married, they lived together through most of his childhood years. They demanded comport-ment that helped their son’s per-formance in life as well as bas-ketball.

“They had a great infl uence,” Lillard says. “There was a stan-dard I had to live up to, on and off the court. I had to be the type of person they raised me to be.

“If I wasn’t, there was going to be something said about it. I took that same attitude onto the court.”

Lillard’s desire is what sepa-rates him from most other young players, Portland assis-tant David Vanterpool says.

“It’s easy for players to say, ‘I want to be the best I can be.’ With him, it’s not lip service,” Vanterpool says. “It’s really how he feels, what he believes in. You can see it in his work ethic, his determination, his demeanor. All those things go into it. What resonates for him is, more than anything, he really wants to be great.”

Vanterpool works daily with Lillard both on and off the court. They watch games and game video. They talk about his ap-proach and the mental aspects of the game.

“The good part about basket-ball is you don’t have to be on the court to be getting better,” Vanterpool says. “He under-stands that. There’s so much ex-tra work to put along with the physical stuff. He is constantly preparing. That’s what is going to help him stay ahead of the curve when it comes to learn-ing.”

The blend of physical talent and mental acuity gives Lillard a chance to forge his way to great-ness in the NBA.

It’s early, but Lillard is the leader in the clubhouse for the NBA’s rookie of the year award. He leads rookies in scoring (18.4) and assists (6.6) and is shooting well from 3-point range (.408) and the free-throw line (.821). Only his fi eld-goal per-centage (.430) is suspect — but Stotts doesn’t want him defi ned by that.

“When so much is made of shooting, it colors the view of whether a person played a good game or not,” Stotts says. “The games (in which) Damian has shot poorly, he hasn’t necessari-ly played poorly.”

Fair enough. There is plenty of room to grow for Lillard, only 22 but blessed with a maturity beyond his years. It’s not his team yet — LaMarcus Aldridge is still the man — but that time is coming.

■ Portland’s win streak hit 12 with the 3-1 victory Sunday at home over fellow Western Hockey League power Kamloops.

The Blazers still have a 35-33 points lead on the Hawks, but Kamloops has played three more games than Portland.

Twelve games is one-sixth of the regular season.

The Winterhawks’ streak is the talk of the WHL and the longest active string in the 60-team Canadian Hockey League. But Portland coach-general manager Mike Johnston says he doesn’t refer to it around his players.

“We never talk about streaks or anything like that,” Johnston says. “Every game is a different challenge. You look at what sort of scenario you’re facing, what you’re going to have to do in the next game.”

■ Not surprisingly, the Winterhawks have surged to the league lead in various catego-ries.

Some of the stats are

astounding.One that stands out is goal

differential — Portland’s plus-51 is 18 better than Kamloops, which is second in the category.

“We’re keeping our shots against and goals against down, and our penalty kill has been good,” Johnston says. “In the past, I don’t think we were as good in those areas.”

■ Third peri-ods have been another area of strength most of the time for the Winterhawks.

Remarkably, in 20 games this season, the Hawks have matched or outscored their opponents 19 times in the third period. And the only exception came in game 20 versus Kamloops, when Portland had a 3-0 lead going into the fi nal frame and was outscored 1-0 over the closing 20 minutes.

Overall, the Winterhawks have scored 30 goals in the third peri-od, while allowing 10.

“We haven’t given up a lot of

chances or goals,” Johnston says. “We’ve been really solid defen-sively in the third period, especial-ly when we have a lead. It starts with our goaltenders and our defense. We don’t spend a lot of time in our zone. They move the puck quickly to our forwards.”

Johnston says the Hawks don’t try to slow the pace or get conser-vative when they have a lead in the third period.

“We play the same way,” he says. “We don’t ever sit back. It makes it hard on teams to try to come back when you’re moving the puck.”

■ The shooting stats are just as striking.

Portland has outshot its oppo-nents in 19 of 20 games. Spokane outshot the Hawks 44-36 in Portland’s game 19 last week — but Portland won 9-1 at Spokane.

The Winterhawks are averaging 41.5 shots per game. The other teams are averaging 26.4.

■ Portland goaltender Mac Carruth is on a tear himself. He’s 9-0 and leads the WHL in save percentage (.963) and goals against average (0.97).

“He is very calm in the net,” Johnston says. “He’s controlled in his movements. He has always moved the puck well. He’s just been very consistent in his play.”

The original production show will fi rst be aired at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19 on OPB-TV.

One can only hope for snow this holiday season, which would provide another great setting for the train during Oregon’s ZooLights, which opens Nov. 23, among the many area light displays.COURTESY OF OREGON ZOO

Owner Terry Currier, 57, still enjoys going to work every day and working up to 80-hour weeks at Music Millennium, a paragon of music stores in Portland.

SECTION B THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2012

By ROB CULLIVANPamplin Media Group

Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band cranks out its sweaty, swampy, bluesy folk rock as a crowd of more than 30 people look upward at a balcony stage.

The band is in town for a performance at Dante’s this evening, and is playing a late afternoon in-store show at Music Millennium, 3158 E. Burnside St., in hopes of drum-ming up interest.

Wandering the aisles, and talking to the happy customers enjoying the tunes, is store owner Terry Currier. He’s not just excited about the in-store concert, he’s also debuting the store’s newest annex, Classical Millennium, dedicated to

classical music.At age 57, Currier looks a couple

decades younger with his longish wavy brunette hair barely speckled with gray.

“I don’t dye my hair,” he adds with a chuckle. “I’m happy I still have hair!”

The secret to Currier’s eternally youthful appearance may lie not in his remarkable DNA but in the aisles that surround him and the live music coming from the store’s second-fl oor balcony. Stepping into Music Millen-nium is entering a different era, when vinyl records and cassette tapes and then CDs ruled the music world.

It was a time when no one had heard of the Internet or the Web,

when people drunkenly smoked in rowdy bars and danced and fought to blistering rock ‘n’ roll rather than stay home sipping chilled bottled water, safely downloading tunes onto their latest computerized gadget.

It was a time when teenagers washed dishes or cars or wore dorky uniforms to serve up fast food just to earn enough money to buy the latest vinyl record by the Ra-mones, the Stones, The Replacements and The Clash.

Currier is not the store’s original owner, but he might as well be, having worked his way up from new store employee

in 1984 to current lord of all he surveys through his passion for all kinds of mu-sic and people. He works 60 to 80 hours a week selling new and used vinyl, CDs, audio and videotapes, retro trivia and board games and a variety of other products.

“It wasn’t to be cool,” he says of dig-ging music since he was a high school-er. “It wasn’t because it was the hip thing. It was because I had to know about this! I gotta know about this!”

“This” can be anything from the dis-cography of the Kinks, his fave rock band — “both the lyrical content and the musical content of that band hits a

Members of The Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band recently played a live show at Music Millennium, which routinely invites groups to perform in the store to promote their music.

“He is the sea who accepts all rivers, helpful to a fault, incredibly kind. He’s dedicated to the proposition that music improves your life.”

nerve” — to Portland’s indie rockers Dolorean, whom Cur-rier tags “probably hands-down the most underrated band in this city.”

He also digs 1960s rock group Spirit and says their fi rst four albums constitute “maybe the best rock ‘n’ roll music ev-

er,” and loves Portland-based acts The Decemberists, Ramo-na Falls and Helio Sequence

Possessing the most eclectic and catholic of tastes, Currier will go to a jazz show the same night he’ll go to a punk show. He eagerly and regularly books bands and acts of all styles to play his in-store shows, which have featured Randy Newman, Soundgarden, Paul Westerberg and Weezer.

“Being down in my store for an in-store (concert) is a ‘Wow!’ for me,” Currier says.

Satisfi ed customersCurrier is president of the

Oregon Music Hall of Fame, and has helped organize and promote blues and jazz festi-vals in town, among others. But it’s his daily interactions with customers that have made him a mover and shaker in the local

scene.Take Jason Kastrup, 38, a

Portland massage and qigong therapist and frequent Music Millennium customer. Kastrup

has purchased all kinds of re-cords there and met some of his favorite bands there as well.

“If Terry is there, you’d be happy to listen to what he’s playing the whole time,” Kas-trup says. “You will end up buy-ing those records not because he sold them to you but you get that he really, really loves it.”

Meanwhile, J Lofberg, 66, has been going to Music Millen-nium since it opened in 1969, and briefl y worked there in the late 1990s.

“There are many, many thou-sands of people who have met Terry,” he says. “He is the sea who accepts all rivers, helpful to a fault, incredibly kind. I’ve gone with him to several hun-dred concerts. You fully under-stand that the man lives for this. He’s dedicated to the prop-osition that music improves

your life.”That’s a feeling shared by

such store employees as Larry Hass, who’s worked on and off at the store since 1983.

“You need to be open to all kinds of music to work in a re-cord store,” he says as he and Currier note that can mean anyone from John Denver to Anthrax. “I like turning people onto new music and helping them fi nd it.”

And despite constantly

struggling to stay afl oat fi nan-cially in a world where people often don’t even pay for record-ed music anymore, Currier cheerfully strives to serve folks who still want to touch a vinyl record or unwrap a CD to feel a closer connection to the artists who created them.

“This is probably the equiva-lent of two jobs,” Currier says. “I couldn’t work this many hours unless I loved what I was doing.”

WeezeeannaTwo Portland bands are

gearing up for a gumbo-lovers show. The New Iberians play zydeco, rock and blues. The band has released three CDs and is working on a fourth, and is known for its festival-friendly sets, which have won over audiences in the Bay area, Puget Sound area, Idaho, Mon-tana, Chicago and, of course, right here in town. Meanwhile, Steady Boys play country, Ca-jun and honky tonk and cover everyone from Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell to Loretta Lynn and, we kid you not, Gnarls Barkley.

Nov. 17Peter Pan syndrome

Portland acoustic Ameri-cana band Wendy and the Lost Boys have released a new CD titled “Roadway Not Im-proved,” and it’s a winner. Ma-ny bands in this genre often put out well crafted but some-what musically safe records, but this band gently and steadily experiments with tem-pos, lyrical ideas and instru-mental attack from song to song, making what’s old sound new, particularly on cuts like “I Want” and the title piece.

The band employs mandolin, guitar, bass and rub-board, or frottoir, in a listenable blend of Cajun, bluegrass and blues sure to please fans of Lucinda Williams, David Bromberg and the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

Wendy and the Lost Boys, 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, Mississippi Pizza Pub, 3552 N. Mississippi Ave. Free. Info: 503-288-3231, mississippipizza.com.

An upbeat reggae-dancehall infl uenced singer, dancer and rapper, Boog is one of those musicians who imme-diately transports you to the is-lands, Polynesian, Caribbean or wherever they drink booze in those glasses with tiny umbrel-las.

GQ takes a bite out of Portland

Gentlemen’s Quarterly “GQ” Magazine’s Alan Richman has written a story about the Port-land food scene for the Novem-ber issue, seeking to answer the question: “How did Portland as-cend to its status as the most fascinating gastronomic city in America, the all-around cham-pion in the category of food and drink?” Richman visited the likes of Pok Pok, Gravy, Le Pi-geon, Olympic Provisions and Voodoo Doughnut.

His piece is “Cloudy with a Chance of Stinging-Nettle Flan and Tomato Coulis.”

An excerpt: “Where food is concerned, Portland attracts in-dividuals with peculiar ambi-tions. it has become the prom-ised land for young people who want to cook but lack the sav-ings, the training and perhaps the resolve to pursue traditional restaurant careers, the kind based on French-inspired drudgery. They arrive and are

greeted by a populace that in-stantaneously lines up for the food, the only stipulation being that it doesn’t cost too much. Nothing else is demanded, not even experience preparing the food they plan to sell.”

The story can be read at gq.com or in the magazine.

“ZooZoo” being retired

Innovative Imago Theatre plans to close its world-ac-claimed production “ZooZoo” after its next run starting Dec. 7 and a planned 2013 tour to pur-sue other theatrical endeavors.

Creators Carol Triffl e and Jerry Mouawad have explored mask theater for three decades.

But they want to focus on pro-ductions next season that will feature dance, movement and comedy — with real faces as part of the shows.

By ANNE MARIE DISTEFANOThe Tribune

In a space that is both dra-matic and cozy, Cibo is turning out fancy pizzas, a handful of snacks and lots

of starchy, satisfying food. It’s neighborhood Italian for a neighborhood that is also a din-ing destination — Southeast Di-vision Street, the sweetheart of restaurateurs, especially chef-owners with an urge to branch out.

Marco Frattaroli is just the type. Cibo is his follow-up to Bastas, which has been hum-ming along on Northwest 21st Avenue for 20 years.

Cibo’s menu is similar to Bas-tas, but defi nitely not the same. The pasta dishes are different, and there’s a much bigger focus on things that involve the excel-lent, house-made dough: strom-boli, calzone, pizza.

Cibo also introduces a new branch of the fl atbread family. Cecina is an irregular, unleav-ened round, made with chick-pea fl our and topped simply with pepper, cheese, sausage or a pungent, garlick-y pesto. The waiter describes it as a pan-cake, which is close enough. He could also have said paratha, arepas or crepes. The texture is a bit grainy, with a crisp edge and a tender, almost eggy inte-rior.

Let your eye wander to the bottom of the menu for sides that also serve as appetizers. Arancini are balls of rice fried in breadcrumbs, traditional to southern Italy. Here, it’s an arancina, a rice ball the size of a baseball, crunchy and browned on the outside, saffron-yellow within. At its heart is a vegeta-ble ragu and a nugget of stretchy mozzarella. More cheese would have been better.

The star of the starters is the octopus salad. Chunks of re-markably sweet and tender oc-topus are charred without be-ing at all overcooked. They’re tossed with greens, onions, and crisp rounds of potato in a vin-aigrette, with a little bit of salt and citrus. The texture is just perfect.

Unfortunately, that’s not true for the pasta.

Gnocchi were almost cloying-ly structure-less, swaddled in a creamy sauce made of sheep’s milk cheese and lots of garlic. House-made speck was added for some porky, salty fl avor, but it was rather tough. The chewy meat and soft dumplings clashed like vinyl and velvet.

There was also a small issue with the house-made noodles. They had the pliant quality and new-milled taste that fresh pas-ta should have, but some of the rough-cut squares stuck togeth-er as they were cooked, creat-ing an occasional bite of card-board. The slow-cooked meat ragu made up for it. It was rich, complex, and yet not too heavy and not over-herbed. The meat and tomatoes were allowed to speak for themselves.

Happy Kids Hour?This is the new Italian-Amer-

ican. And that means, above all, a wood-burning pizza oven.

Firewood is stacked by the front door, and men toss pizza dough nearby. The crusts are very good, crackling and browned, fl oury and supple. They’re delicate, and can get a little soggy at the tip, especially with weightier toppings. Still, don’t avoid the pepperoni, which is made in-house. It’s spicy and crumbly, like Mexi-can chorizo, and nothing like the curled-up rounds of main-stream pizza parlors.

This is no hut. A huge bar

covered in ornate tile fi lls the center of the room. The walls are striped with long rough boards, like a backyard fence, backlit in brilliant cat’s-eye yel-low. It’s worth stopping by for a drink just to see it.

House cocktails are a show-case for bitter liqueurs, newly trendy and no longer the pre-serve of Italian grandfathers. The Cibo version of a Negroni is lighter, fruitier and more herbal than the original, with dry vermouth instead of sweet, and grapefruit bitters in place of Angostura. The Obituary is appropriately dark: bourbon, Punt e Mes, Fernet, and orange bitters. Like a cranky but witty acquaintance, it tends to grow on you.

All cocktails are a dollar cheaper during happy hour, and wine is an impressive $2 off, bringing the house red and white down to $4 a glass. A margherita pizza is just $5, and, as you can imagine, there’s quite a rush for them around 6 p.m.

Around the same time, the place is full of families with young children. At fi rst, it seemed odd to me to see a little girl belly up to the bar. Nearby, a little boy was clutching the stem of a martini glass in one hand (he was spooning ice cream out of it with the other.)

Happy hour plus kids? The more you think about it, the more it makes sense.

Cibo, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Mon-day-Saturday, closed Sunday, 3539 S.E. Division St., 503-719-5377, cibopdx.com

MONIQUE: My name is Monique, and I am quite unique! I am a torti-point Siamese mix with plushy soft fur and a sweet and quiet demeanor. I would love a quieter home with people who wish me to lay on their lap and brush me.Doesn’t that sound lovely? I’m calm and cuddly. I will be more than happy to keep your feet warm at night, and you will happily dote on me! I’m waiting for your visit at Animal Aid’s Show & Tell Saturday from 12PM to 4PM. Please call 503-292-6628 option 3 or visit our website:www.animalaidpdx.org for more information.

NAVYAFriendly, golden-eyed

Navya likes being the cen-ter of attention-there’s so much petting to be had,

why not? She doesn’t mind entertaining herself, though

if you have a cat toy or two, so much the better. In a previous home, Navya was picked on by other

cats, so she is really hop-ing to be someone’s one

and only. She’s waiting for you at CAT’s Sherwood

shelter: 14175 SW Galbreath Drive/503-925

8903/catadoptionteam.org/CAT’sSherwood Shelter

hours are: Monday-Friday, 11 am- 7 pm and

Saturday-Sunday, 10 am -6 pm.

SIMBA: I’m Simba, a little lion of a guy. Let me bring the love to your home to-night! You’ll get to hear my lion’s purr and I’d love to curl up with you to enjoy a movie perhaps? Someth-ing about a little lion like me, overcoming the odds and finding his place in the world? I’m waiting for your visit at Animal Aid’s Show & Tell Saturday from 12PM to 4PM. Please call 503-292-6628 option 3 or visit our website:www.animalaidpdx.org for more information.

Two lovely rescued kitties are looking for an excellent cat loving home. Both are males, one an orange longhair and the other a gray and tabby Siamese mix. About 6-8months old.Will pay neuter. Call for info: 503-254-0766.

WEBSTERSoft orange Webster re-minds you of the creamy orange part of a Dixie Cup you had as a kid. Just a lovin’ spoonful of fluffy purrs but first you have to break through the exterior shell and get to the good stuff inside. Webster is re-served at first - maybe someone with a heavy hand disciplined him roughly - but he is SO cute and loves to purr SO much when he trusts you. Call Cat’s Cradle Rescue at 503-320-0679 for more in-formation on this 6-month old young male. Apply online or view our other adoptable cats atwww.catscradlerescue.com.
