Current Fall Classes • Tap • Jazz • Jazz/Tap • Hip Hop • Contemporary In September and October, Portland’s Planning and Sustainability Commission listened to resident, land owner and business owner feedback on the document that will guide development of the city’s neighborhoods, business districts, open spaces and farmland for the next 20 years, the Comprehensive Plan for 2035. October’s session at Parkrose High School’s Student Center contained criticism of the Commission for not including in the Draft Comprehensive Plan (DCP) previous citizen input on the planning process regarding development of Hayden Island. One Island resident told the commissioners, “...planned additional development needs additional adjustments to zoning before additional development is built.” Improving transportation access to and circulation around the Island was given as an example of what the DCP does not provide. Characterizing the Columbia Slough as a “carcinogenic cocktail,” neighborhood activist Bruce Campbell pointed to what he called an apparent contradiction in the Plan: mitigating climate change and promoting industrial development. “You cannot do both things!” Parkrose resident Joe Rossi, whose family has been farming in Oregon since 1880, objected to the designation of undeveloped farmland his family owns between Parkrose Junior High and High schools as a future lightindustrial zone. “If it does get developed, it should be something nice,” Rossi told the Commission. Southeast Portland resident Maryann Schwab contended that there were “disconnects between METRO and Multnomah County in the SE Quadrant,” using as an example plans to relocate 242 families into the Central Eastside Industrial District. “That is not a good place for low-income housing,” the Commission was told. A final feedback-gathering session will take place Tuesday, November 4, 4 p.m. at 1900 S.W. 4th Ave., Room 2500A. That hearing will focus on the citywide systems and transportation system plan.

Ava In October, approximately 70 residents representing about two dozen Portland neighborhoods met for a third time to finalize a statement on how the City of Portland should preserve older houses and BY PHILL COLOMBO phillcolombo@star-news.info refrain from granting developers demolition permits. The meeting, labeled Summit III, was held at Grant Baptist Church. A committee was formed to draft a reform proposal that would be disseminated for endorsement of neighborhood associations and preservation organizations around the city, and eventually be brought to the City Council. More than a dozen volunteered to serve, and Beaumont-Wilshire Land Use Chair Jack Bookwalter will chair that sub-group to review a list of more than 30 reform items suggested by Summit II attendees, decide what should be included in the draft proposal and disseminate the draft to neighborhood associations and preservation organizations for their consideration. BWNA Immediate Past President Al Ellis noted that the endorsement process will take a while to complete, but the group hopes to present the proposal to the City Council no later than early December. The group discussed the mission of the Draft Proposal Committee, such as the basis for including items in the proposal, whether to set a limit on the number of final items, whether to include a “statement of principles” in the proposal, whether neighborhood association boards should have an opportunity to vote on each proposal item separately to give the committee prior to finalization of the proposal or—to save time—if the As should vote on the package as a whole. Ellis told The Hollywood Star News the discussion was “sometimes contentious,” but he said the group was unified in its purpose: “The passion of the debate underscored the complexity of attempting to reach consensus among individuals and organizations from such a wide variety of perspectives in uncharted waters. Nonetheless, commonalities on the demolition/development reform front unite us in purpose.” Ellis added that the smaller Anti-Freeze System Flush $89.95 Automotive Save over $50 and Make sure your car is in Winter Shape!

Hot Lips seeks a slice of Hollywood “We actually were looking for a spot on Northeast Sandy Boulevard and were directed to this place,” explained David Yudkin, owner of Hot Lips Pizza. Yudkin owns five other stores: at Portland State University, by Providence Park, in the Pearl, on Northeast Killingsworth Street and on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard. He plans to open the newest pizzeria on New Year’s Eve and call it Hot Lips Hollywood. Yudkin’s mid-October announcement came as Otto’s opened in Roseway and Fire + Stone Restaurant scheduled a planned November debut in BeaumontWilshire – both have pizza prominent on their menus. Yudkin hopes to employ about 22 in the new store; about a dozen of them will have experience at other Hot Lips locations. Pizza tossing will be done in view of windows facing Northeast Sandy Boulevard, giving passersby a bit of entertainment and maybe an incentive to come in. “We’re concentrating on Northwest beers,” Yudkin said, “and will have 24 taps located about midway towards the back of the bar.” The Hot Lips Killingsworth store now covers delivery in the Hollywood area, but the new store will expand delivery to an area bounded by Northeast 82nd Avenue, the Lloyd District, Northeast Fremont Street and Southeast Belmont Street.

The concrete foundation under the wood floor slants downward toward the south wall where the movie screen used to be. In the 1920s, an antique-and-pawn shop occupied the building, and in 1937 the original Pal’s Shanty opened in an actual shack across Sandy Boulevard on the north side. – CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 ★ Expires 11/30/14 ★ NOVEMBER 2014 Draperies • sleeping Bags • TaBle CloThs BeD spreaDs • BlankeTs • ComforTers Incoming Orders With this coupon • Exp.11/30/14 Protecting your financial security should take more than 15 minutes.

The Hanson Family took ownership of Pal’s Shanty and moved to the south side of Sandy in 1967, where they opened on December 31. Youdkin said, “I’m excited, because this is Hot Lips’ thirtieth anniversary, so we plan on opening on New Year’s Eve, too.” A stage for live entertainment is planned against the south wall. The eating area will occupy the east side of the restaurant in full view of a brick billboard mural that touts the Sandy Road Grocery store, which was originally in the building to the east, along with an ad for flour. Taking orders, bar service, kitchen prep and pizza ovens will be on the west side. Yudkin looks forward to becoming part of the Hollywood community, joining the Boosters, the Neighborhood Association and assisting organizations as Hot Lips does at its other locations. “We’re in this for the long haul, and we’ll be working hard to open at the end of the year,” Yudkin said. but skilled artisans are working more jobs with less down-time between jobs. “I’m able to keep my sub-contractors busier, and we have jobs scheduled for several months out,” Pasion said.

The juried show, with a theme of “Oregon Impressions,” was held in October at the Re/Max Office, 237 N.E. Broadway. Participating artists donated 30 percent of their sales from the show to Bradley Angle, the charity selected by Re/Max. According to Bradley Angle’s executive director Deborah Steinkopf, when two women – Sharon Bradley and Pam Angle – died on the streets of Portland in 1975, Bonnie Tinker took action. Tinker founded an organization to help homeless women and others who were vulnerable to violence. In 2015, Bradley Angle will commemorate 40 years of offering programs and services to help all genders, races, ethnicities and ages. The domestic violence shelter, one of the first 10 in the United States and the first on the West Coast, is located off-site at an undisclosed location. Bradley Angle organization has expanded to offer an array of programs through their resource center at 5432 N. Albina Ave. “Participants seeking safety, referral to emergency shelter and long-term stability from domestic violence are common reasons for contacting Bradley Angle,” said director of advocacy Missy Kloos. According to Kloos, a common misconception about domestic abuse is people think it’s easy to leave and wonder #59 Jason Seale in his studio basement with his wife, Julia Edge, a high-school English teacher, and their 5-year-old daughter, Sydney. (Kathy Eaton) why victims stay. “If you peel away the layers, you discern many reasons for staying, including: financial, threats of abuse, concerns for children and personal safety, housing and employment. The situation can be dangerous and damaging,” said Kloos. Bradley Angle participants Continue filling your days with what you love.

Kimberly Wuepper Rudick, CLTC Agent New York Life Insurance Company 1825 NE Broadway can access multiple programs to achieve stability, safety, social connectedness, and gain control of their situation. Bradley Angle’s economic empowerment program offers financial education for participants to establish credit and build assets. They also help job seekers with resume-building, identifying gaps in employment and matching skills with potential employers. “Victims believe they’re not employable or don’t have skills, said Kloos. Bradley Angle took in 733 cases in 2013, but numbers alone don’t tell the story. The organization provides direct parental and child support for children who’ve witnessed abuse and violence in their home. Bradley Angle looks at the whole family and addresses multi-generational cycles of abuse, according to Kristen Earl, annual giving and events manager. Since October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Bradley Angle was pleased to partner with Re/Max and other community providers to leverage funds and raise awareness.

Portland artist and participant in the 2014 Re/Max art show, Jason Seale moved to Portland in 2003 from the East Coast, where he’d lived and obtained a bachelor’s degree in design and furniture from North Carolina School of Design. After spending a semester studying in Flagstaff, Arizona, Seale said, “The Southwest ignited a passion in me for painting.” Seale enjoys working in community with other artists, initially with Antfarm Studios in Raleigh, where he apprenticed in large concrete sculpture. When Seale later moved to Chicago, he started a collective studio group in the building where he rented an apartment in Chicago’s brownstone district. Seale began creating paintings with thick brush strokes and plaster-like consistency, reflecting gritty city images. Seale missed life outdoors, so he packed up his tools and with his dog, Blue, headed out on a three-month road trip with two ground rules: no fast food and no hotels. When he eventually landed in Portland, he visited an artist friend and discovered home. Hawthorne Boulevard neighbors were friendly and welcoming. He found work at Olympic Foundry, which makes municipal castings for Portland and designed a light for the arm of the St. Johns Bridge. Again seeking a community of artists, Seale joined the Oregon Society of Artists where he hosts guest demo night on the first Thursday of every month. For more information: Visit oregonsocietyofartists.com. After his daughter, Sydney, was born in May 2009, Seale found his way back to painting and hasn’t stopped. In 2010, he began showing work at the annual Re/Max art show, and in January 2015, his work will be on display at Everyday Wine, 1520 N.E. Alberta St. For more information: See sealedesign.com or call (503) 238-0245. Seventy percent of the artwork in the 2013 Re/Max show was sold, with almost $5,000 donated to local charities, according to participating artist and Re/ Max broker Ann Spanish-Manion whose son, Joe Spanish, is also a realtor. Each piece of artwork in the 2014 Re/Max show is priced less than $500 to make it more affordable for buyers and is available at Re/Max until November 10, 2014.

It’s easy to locate because it sports the replicas of buffalo heads at the top of each corner. Their watchfulness keeps guard over several businesses that make their home in the giant building, including a nationally known photo production company. We’re talking about Sandbox Studio, 420 N.E. 9th Ave., which specializes in commercial photography for a number of well-known brands such as Doc Martins, Bonfire, Nike and Bass. It was a quiet day when I stopped in at Sandbox Studio (sandboxstudio.com) and talked with its studio director Shandrea Gilchrist. According to Gilchrist, Sandbox Studio has 14,000 square feet of leased space, which gives it plenty of room to accommodate multiple photo shooting scenarios. The spaciousness means that four photo shooting sets can run at the same time, and two additional sets can be shot under the 30-foot high ceiling that runs down the center of the building. “The high ceiling allows clients to bring in a scissor lift,” noted Gilchrist. “Many clients like the natural light. We are one of the biggest studios in Portland with daylight access. Sometimes, there’s a lot going on here and we get to max capacity. That’s when it gets pretty friendly.” Shandrea Gilchrist, studio director of Sandbox Studio. (Sandbox Studio) Most of the photos that are shot at Sandbox Studio are used in e-commerce for advertising and lifestyle. “We do our own productions as well as run out to the community of photographers who work here,” said Gilchrist. “So we can rent to them. The community in Portland is vast. It’s saturated.” According to Gilchrist, the number of people involved in a photo shoot depends on the volume of what you are shooting as well as the amount of creative intensity needed. “For example, if it is a room set and you are shooting bathroom sinks,” explained Gilchrist, “but you want to do it in an environment, then you need a lot of people to help construct the walls. If you are doing more than one shot that day, then the walls may need to be repainted or re-wallpapered. So the shoot will require a stylist, stylist assistant and merchandise handers.” Gilchrist manages operations but she also is one of Sandbox Studio’s producers. Producers gather all of the information and help with the budget of the project and coordinate the freelancers needed to complete everything. She has been in Portland for more than three years. She hails from Southern California and has worked for Sandbox Studio off and on for many years, including stints in New York, Michigan and San Francisco. Because Sandbox Studio is a national company with additional studio locations in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Memphis and Portland, it can access talent from all over the nation. For example, if a company wanted to shoot on You can now visit Alameda Realty on location in New York, Gilchrist would make sure that one of the producers in New York would take the lead in that effort. Photographer Tom Strollo and two colleagues founded Sandbox Studio in San Francisco in 1992. After shooting photos for the firm for 15 years, Strollo moved to the business development side of the firm, giving presentations to new customers. “Our success is due to great producers,” remarked Strollo. “Customer service is a big part of it. Also, the internet has created a demand for more imagery and content. Those market forces have worked in our favor.” Encouraged by the amount of work that they were doing in a Portland, Stollo and his colleagues decided to open a company location somewhere near downtown. They conducted a real-estate search, and the Bison Building popped up. It was constructed in 1938 and used during World War II for building ships for the war effort. Besides the big areas that are used for photo shoots, Sandbox Studio has space for an equipment room, offices for development and a big dark room – called “the cave” – that is used for postproduction re-touches. “There’s a terrific enclave of talent here,” noted Gilchrist. “This building houses not only us but also Din Din supper club, Merrell-Wolverine and studios for the Pacific Northwest College of Art. The creative community is a big draw. People are moving from New York to live in Portland, and that includes this corner of the inner Northeast. It’s the place to be.” HEIDI SETTLEMIER OWNER/PRINCIPAL BROKER 3RD GENERATION FAMILY REALTOR EASTSIDE SPECIALIST Facebook.com/Heidi Settlemier Twitter.com/Alameda_Realty The Results Company 503-287-3062 • 503-307-1502 www.Settlemier.com NOVEMBER 2014 WWW.STAR-NEWS.INFO: SERVING NORTHEAST AND NORTH PORTLAND NEIGHBORHOODS HOLLYWOOD SENIOR CENTER Senior center honors volunteers THE HOLLYWOOD STAR NEWS 11 market trends real estate from C.

Last year, more than 165 HSC volunteers dedicated more than 9,800 hours of volunteer service in the community. Their support enables HSC to fulfill its mission of serving older adults, their caregivers and the neighboring community through education, information, health and wellness, recreation, nutrition and social services. The volunteers enjoyed lunch provided by party sponsor Calaroga Terrace. Attendees were entertained by Golden Harvest Music, thanks to Care Oregon Advantage. Each year, the HSC recognizes a select group of outstanding volunteers for their commitment and support by adding their names to the HSC “Hollywood Stars” Volunteer Recognition Plaque. This year the special honors went to: Jim Harper, Linda Jones, Rita Bhatia and Tom Hilleary. Local businesses also joined in honoring our volunteers by donating door prizes for the event.

I get the question “What’s the rate today?” almost daily. It’s a tough one to answer because there really isn’t a “rate.” Every day, there are a wide range of rates available. It’s possible for someone with good credit to secure a note rate as low as 2.25% (APR 3.53%) on a 3/1 adjustable rate mortgage and as high as 5.125% (APR 5.125%) on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage.* But even if you narrow things down to a particular loan program, there are still a wide array of rates available. To understand this variability, you need to understand the intimate relationship between interest rates and closing costs. The rate you pay varies directly as a result of the costs you pay for your loan. The more you pay in closing costs, specifically a cost called “discount points,” the lower your rate and vice versa. And, there is one more layer of complexity. Dis- count points themselves vary based on a number of transaction-related factors. The length of the loan, your credit scores, the percent of the value of the property you are borrowing, whether you intend to occupy the property or not, the type of property you are buying— these things and more impact the cost of the loan. And the cost of the loan, in turn impacts the rate. So, when you ring a lender and ask “What’s the rate today?” be prepared to answer a few questions, and don’t be surprised to receive a range of rates in response. Next month, I’ll take on the topic of discount points and when it does and does not make sense to pay them. *Assumes a 30 year fixed rate loan for $225,000 loan amount with a 25% down payment. “Equity Home Mortgage, LLC – NMLS #41570, Mortgage Lending License #ML-1332-11, 237 NE Broadway #101, Portland, OR 97232 and ML-1332-21, 7886 SE 13th Ave., Portland, OR 97202.

Oregon Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Treatment Clinic Dr. Marsha Johnson, AuD (established 1997) 825 NE 20th Suite 230 503 234 1221 www.tinnitus-audiology.com othtclinic@gmail.com Albina Community Bank The 525 pupils in Faubion Elementary School’s pre-kindergarten through eighthgrade classes will have a new building by 2017, but changes in their educational programs are already taking place. The changes come from an unusual, cooperative arrangement between the public school and the private Concordia University, a neighbor across Northeast 29th Avenue near Rosa Parks Way. The program-in-progress is called 3 to PhD, which is shorthand for efforts to enable students to Pursue Highest Dreams. For the past seven years, ever since Principal LaShawn A. Lee arrived at Faubion and a university faculty member crossed the street to see what she needed, the two schools have worked together to improve the education of their respective students. The working arrangement will continue, district officials announced, while Faubion students temporarily attend classes for the next two school years at the Tubman School building, 2231 N. Flint Ave., then return to a new building. For Faubion students, the cooperative arrangement has brought art, music, physical education, a nutrition program, library time and visits from Concordia’s student nurses. Student teachers from Concordia’s College of Education gain hours toward accreditation in Faubion classrooms. Other Concordia students, who volunteer in the community as a graduation requirement, may tutor youngsters in reading or math. Some help organize activities on the playground. Whether they are at Faubion as volunteers or budding educators, Lee said, the Concordia students reduce the student-to-adult ratio in a classroom. “A classroom may have the teacher, a student teacher, a practicum student (one gaining observation hours to become a student teacher) and a volunteer,” Lee said. “They can have small reading groups or work with flash cards or help with hands-on programs.” When Faubion gained middle grades a half-dozen years ago, Lee said, Concordia and United Way brought eight enrichment programs for sixth through eighth graders. Those include chess, American sign language, choir, drumming, an exercise program, dance, bioengineering and a novel study group, the principal said. Since Faubion and Concordia began cooperating, reading, science and math scores have risen among the elementary school students, Lee said, and playground behavior referrals have dropped, too. That’s important for continued progress in a highly diverse school where a high percentage of students come from low-income families. About a third of Faubion students are white, about a third are Latino, about a third are AfricanAmerican, and the mix also includes a small number of Asian Americans. At least 20 percent of the students are homeless or without a regular place to live, Lee said. The district’s definition of homeless is a family living in a motel, in a shelter, in transitional housing, in a car or they couch surf with friends or live with relatives.

Faubion and Concordia are cooperating on a program to improve urban education. (Janet Goetze) Services jointly secured a grant, which continues through December 2015, for a licensed clinical social worker. She works with families, students and groups of students on a variety of issues, noted Gary Withers, Concordia’s executive vice president for external affairs. The school district has set aside $29 million from a bond measure to replace the crowded Faubion structure, built in 1950 for 350 students. The new, multi-use building is intended to become a family and neighborhood hub. Concordia also is raising $15.51 million for the new building and contributing land south of the present school property. The new building will provide spaces for Concordia’s College of Education and Faubion classes, where university students will be teachers-in-training. “This is a unique way to prepare urban teachers,” Withers said. “Concordia will be developing teachers in much the same way as the medical profession trains doctors.” The new building will have a “makers space” where students can learn with hands-on projects. The curriculum also will encourage STEAM or science, technology, engineering, art and math proficiency, Withers said. Spaces for 120 pre-kindergarten students are planned, and an early childhood program for toddlers is a future goal, Withers said. Another goal is a family health center where the university’s nursing and health sciences departments would provide nutrition, exercise and sports science services. Prenatal services would ensure healthy babies, born at a good birth weight to avoid the later school struggles often experienced by low-birth-weight children. Parents and community members helped plan the new building, and Pamela Dye, the mother of a daughter with Down syndrome, has high praise for the architects and community design group. When she outlined a need for two elevators instead of one, planners understood her concern and a second elevator became part of the plan, she said. Kimberly Dixon, with two of her six children still at Faubion, sees the cooperative programs as a win-win for both schools, and she is glad to see the enrichment programs arranged with Concordia. The cooperative plan, she said, “is something that could be modeled elsewhere.” INTERSTELLAR Opening November 5 Digital + 35mm Screenings!

(Judy Nelson) Cully! History “Cully is one of the most active neighborhoods in the city,” said Susan Nelson, who moved from Concordia in 2003. Retired from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management where she worked as a mapmaker, Nelson is in the process of collecting information and researching a book about Cully. “Lewis and Clark recorded notes about a village where indigenous people lived seasonally on the Columbia River from roughly Northeast 42nd to 82nd avenues,” said Nelson. She’s interviewed 10 Cully residents, including one woman whose late husband was a descendant of Thomas Cully. In 1846, Thomas Cully, an English stonemason and farmer who moved to Oregon from Texas where he’d been a Texas Ranger, settled a 640-acre tract between Northeast Lombard and Killingsworth streets. Cully and Anthony Whitaker, an Irish immigrant, met requirements to gain legal title under Oregon’s Donation Land Law intended to promote homestead settlement in the Oregon Territory. Ultimately, Cully’s tract included orchards, dairies, truck farms and berry fields, according to Nelson. Leaving behind 12 children, Cully died in 1891 after being thrown from his wagon while ascending “Gravelly Hill” near Northeast 57th Avenue and Sandy Road. Anthony Whitaker settled a 640-acre claim adjacent to Cully’s tract near Portland International Airport and Delta Park. In 1861, his wife, Isabella, founded Whitaker School. Large lots within Cully were not bound by city regulations, and the neighborhood was not annexed by Portland until 1985. Cully became home to many small manufacturing businesses, including the Steigerwald Dairy, which now houses Delphina’s Bakery Cafe, 4636 N.E. 42nd Ave. In 1971, World War II veteran Bob Cassady opened Bob’s Pizza, 4935 N.E. 42nd Ave. After acquiring the business in 2009, Juliet Hyams, current owner of Bob’s Rocket Pizza, asked 80-year-old Cassady BY KATHY EATON kathyeaton@star-news.info to roll out the pizza dough every morning. “We kept many of the original recipes but we’ve since added gluten-free products to appeal to new customers,” said Hyams. Boosting local businesses Portland Development Commission created six Neighborhood Prosperity Initiative (NPI) districts, with two located in Cully: Our 42nd Avenue and Cully Boulevard Alliance (CBA). According to Michael DeMarco, district manager for Our 42nd Avenue, NPI’s goal is to support local entrepreneurs, generate employment opportunities and community redevelopment that benefit members of the community. In the past 18 months, eight new businesses have emerged on 42nd Avenue, including Old Salt Market, Miss Zumstein and Cat Six Cycles. During this period, 70 new jobs were created. For more information: See ne42pdx.com or call (503) 893-5542. Collaborating with CBA and Cully Farmer’s Market, DeMarco organized the Community Harvest Festival, which took place on October 4 and attracted 700 attendees. With a theme of multiculturalism and food security, the celebration signaled the end of Cully’s farmer’s market for the season. According to CBA district manager Laura Young, NPI investments support the retention and growth of Cully businesses, preventing displacement and preserving the neighborhood’s character. There’s been a concerted community effort to root out establishments that were once magnets for crime and violence. For more information: Visit cullyblvdalliance.org. Andean band Allpa Kallpa delights the audience with their music at Cully’s Community Harvest Festival. (Judy Nelson) NOVEMBER 2014 Cully Association of Neighbors Kathy Fuerstenau, who’s lived in Cully for 35 years and served for the past 10 years as chair of the Cully Association of Neighbors (CAN), said recently, “I’m seeing more younger families move to Cully since it’s more affordable here, but we’re also focused on outreach to the Latino population in Cully, which comprises about 21 percent.” CAN meeting agendas are posted on-line in both Spanish and English, and its quarterly newsletter, Cully Neighbor News, available online at cullyneighbors. org, is published in both languages. Translators attend every CAN meeting, according to Fuerstenau. Portland Parks Commissioner Amanda Fritz once said Cully was “parks deficient” and supported local efforts for Cully to designate land at Northeast Alberta Street and Northeast 52nd Avenue for a park. The park, named K-hunamokwst (the Chinuk Wawa name for “together”), will open in spring of 2015. The language was commonly used by Chinook tribes of the Portland metro area. They settled the area along the Columbia River thousands of years ago. Cully residents desire paved sidewalks on major streets, according to Fuerstenau, who will focus on transportation infrastructure. International inspiration In 2000, painter Betty Durham learned the Tibetan art of Thangka and, with her husband, writer Marcus Thomas, lived in a Tibetan refugee settlement in northern India. She donated proceeds from sales of images of Tibetan kids and adults. “What we take for granted here wouldn’t approach their wildest dreams,” said Durham, who for 10 years financially supported a Tibetan elder. Durham’s been painting since age 12 and always has felt compelled to paint or draw, although she was retirement-eligible when she graduated from Pacific Northwest College of Art with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. A life-long learner, Durham continues to take classes at Hipbone Studio where she takes life drawing; twice a month she studies painting with Sanje Elliott in Northeast Portland. Durham and Thomas have lived in Cully for 15 years and remain active. Durham practices yoga and pursues her interest in Nepalese Temple dancing. She taught painting in their basement until 2013, but now offers private lessons. Unpretentious and unfettered by material things, Durham and Thomas don’t own a car, relying instead on Tri-Met, bicycle, Car2Go and walking. “I love the organic gardens blooming so vigorously in Cully,” said Durham. “The neighborhood is thriving.” For more information: Visit bettydurham. com; to learn more about Nepalese Temple dancing: Visit dancemandal.com.

Michael Beach is a vocalist, multiethnic drummer/percussionist and founder of Brothers of the Baladi and Arabesque bands. “Baladi, which is Arabic for ‘folk’ or ‘country,’ is my baby,” said Beach, who formed the band in 1976. The Brothers perform both traditional and original Middle Eastern music featuring vocals in seven languages: Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Farsi, Spanish, French and English, using instruments from around the world. For the past three decades, Brothers has been successfully bringing their music to festivals and colleges, as well as to concert and belly dance audiences. They’ve recorded 11 CDs, with a twelfth one due out later this year. Their 2008 CD, Just Do What’s Right, was nominated for a Grammy. “We’re not a bar band,” said Beach, who moved to Portland in 1988. “Outside my studio, it’s very quiet and I can’t see anyone,” said Beach. A self-described workaholic, he travels with his band about one-third of the year. For 20 years, Beach’s seven-piece traditional Middle Eastern band named Arabesque has been performing every Wednesday night for Portland audiences. “I’m just a white guy who sings in many languages; I love the music — it’s not about politics. I’ve been bridging the gap since the 1970s,” said Beach. He’s observed audiences who’ve never heard his music fall in love with it. “I’m a regular drum-kit player with rock and blues, too,” he said. Arabesque performs at Hoda’s, 3401 S.E. Belmont St. every Wednesday at 8 p.m. “Belly dancers often accompany our band and enjoy performing in Hoda’s familyfriendly venue,” Beach said. He also offers group classes and private drumming lessons at all levels “on any drum you bring.” For more information: Visit baladi.com or call 503-288-4684. Angel on Patrol Since 2007, Cully’s also been home to an aspiring Country-Western musician, retired Portland police officer Berniece Johnson. Johnson is the fourth of 16 children born in Oklahoma. She first rented a room in Cully in 1981 and recalls when it was a rough neighborhood. “It’s cleaned up since then, and is a lot more friendly,” said Johnson. She’s a former Marine and semi-pro athlete in basketball and football. When she was 26, she decided to try out for tennis, a sport she’d never played. “Tennis and soccer were rich people’s sports,” she said. After the Portland Police Department revised physical requirements for female officers, Johnson took the test and was admitted to the academy. In 1986, she became a cop, a job she’d dreamed about as a child, and was assigned to cover North Portland and Central districts. “The job was challenging; you never knew what the day would bring,” said Johnson. She recalls now a particular incident that tested her ability to remain calm and clear-headed under pressure. “Angel on Patrol,” a true story published in the anthology, Chocolate for a Woman’s Soul (Simon & Schuster, 1997), relays the account of how Johnson counseled a potential bridge jumper on the Fremont Bridge and made sure he went home safely with his wife and small child, who waited nearby in their car. After 10 years, Johnson retired from the police force and set a goal of becoming the first African-American female Country singer. “My voice is different because I sing contralto, whereas most female Country performers sing soprano,” she said. Johnson moved to Nashville in 1996, but was discouraged after three years and returned to Portland to enjoy life in retirement. Acknowledging her greatest joy is helping others, Johnson may pursue voice-over work for audio-books, cartoons, commercials or video games. Stay tuned.

Included will be the American Diabetes Association, the Historical Outreach Foundation and VFW Post 1325. Veterans are encouraged to stop by with their questions or pick up literature that may be of benefit to them. About the Ross Hollywood Veterans Day Parade Vernon E. Ross, then owner of the Ross Hollywood Funeral Chapel, founded the parade to honor all veterans – past and present, living and dead – in 1974. Vernon, a veteran of both World War I and World War II, wanted to do something to honor veterans of all wars, because “patriotism has dropped to the lowest level ever.” Just prior to the parade’s start on November 11, 1983, Vernon Ross collapsed while standing at the base of the flagpole Veterans Memorial he’d created. He died later that evening after suffering a heart attack. Ross Hollywood continues Vernon Ross’ dedication to veterans by sponsoring the annual parade in Portland’s Hollywood District each November.

It is part of the Dignity Memorial national network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers and committed to exceeding expectations and delivering a standard of service that is 100 percent guaranteed. It is located at 4733 N.E. Thompson St. ne broadway ne 15th ave In 1974, a gallon of gas cost 55 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the year at 616. The Oregon Ducks football team had two uniforms – one for home and one for away games. And military veterans of the Vietnam War continued to return home. It was also the year that Vernon E. Ross, founder of the Ross Hollywood Chapel, decided to do something to honor all veterans. So, he started a parade. And 40 years later, it’s going as strong as ever. World War II veteran and Oregon native Brig. Gen. James B. Thayer of Lake Oswego will lead the 2014 parade on November 11. Thayer, 92, enlisted in the U.S. Army following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. During direct combat he earned both the Bronze and Silver Star awards. THAYER In 1945, his anti-tank mine platoon helped liberate the Gunskirden Lager concentration camp in Austria, rescuing more than 15,000 Hungarian-Jewish refugees. “We are honored to have Brig. Gen. Thayer as our grand marshal. His achievements and service symbolize what all citizen soldiers do for our country. I hope everyone comes to the parade to honor them and their families,” said Angela McKenzie-Tucker, manager of parade sponsor Ross-Hollywood Chapel. Other parade participants will include the USO Northwest PDX Center, The Beat Goes On and the Grant High School marching bands, women of Unit 70 Navy WAVE veterans (aged 66 to 92) and the Military Vehicle Collectors club, which will showcase a 1942 military tank. In addition, the horse-mounted Buffalo Soldiers Moses William Chapter of the 9th and 10th Calvary, JOIN, with a contingency of homeless veterans, veterans’ organizations, veterans’ motorcycle groups and Boy and Girl Scout troops will march. The Veterans Day National Committee has selected the Portland parade as an official regional site for Veterans Day observances. The parade begins at 9:45 a.m., November 11 at Northeast 40 Avenue and Northeast Hancock Street and travels east on Northeast Sandy Boulevard to Northeast 48 Avenue, where a memorial flag raising ceremony will be held.

Take a hearing aid out for coffee Audiologist Marsha Johnson is inviting anyone concerned about hearing acuity to take Danish-made aids out for a cup of coffee on November 21. Johnson, a Hollywood neighborhood resident since 1978, is offering a complimentary hearing screening and, for WWW.STAR-NEWS.INFO: SERVING NORTHEAST AND NORTH PORTLAND NEIGHBORHOODS H NOVEMBER 2014 STAR BUSINESS NEWS those eligible, a fitting with Widex Hearing Aids in her clinic at 825 N.E. 20th Ave., Suite 230. She will give those trying out the aids a coupon to Freissan, the nearby German bakery, for coffee and a treat. Later, they can return to the clinic for evaluation and feedback. This is an opportunity to “test drive” a set of hearing aids, she said, that offer many features to assist wearers to hear other people’s speech, enjoy music and help stimulate the central auditory system to reduce debilitating conditions. Those interested in the offer may make an appointment for November 21 with office manager Jenny Pierce at (503) 234-1221. Pricing levels for hearing aids vary, Johnson said. In Oregon, consumers have a 30-day free trial period without obligation to purchase. Mazza’s keeps the music playing Mazza’s is the new name for jazz and swing music at 3728 N.E. Sandy Blvd., the former home of Tony Starlight. When Starlight left for a larger space, Matt Mazza began planning to keep the music playing.

Some upcoming events: While some are watching election returns, Mont Chris Hubbard will present a special program at 7:30 p.m. November 4. Cover charge will be $10.

Broadway, has added salt cave therapy rooms to services that already include acupuncture, ashiatsu and a variety of massage styles. Salt therapy dates back to ancient Egypt and is currently used in Europe and Canada, said Genevra Cardoso, Zama’s owner. Salt has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit the whole body, including the immune and respiratory systems, Cardoso said. Salt or halotherapy is regarded as beneficial to those with asthma, allergies, bronchitis and certain skin conditions, including psoriasis, eczema and acne, she said. Healthy people who breathe in pollutants, dust and bacteria in the air may benefit from salt therapy, also, she said. Halotherapy, Cardoso explained, is a higher level than breathing in the ocean’s salt air. The vaporized, dry salt ventilated through the therapy rooms, she said, allows negative ion charged particles to move through the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Halotherapy may keep Portlanders healthy during long, damp winters, she said. Information is available at www. zamamassage.com or (503) 281-0278. Santa scheduled for Holiday Fest Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive at the Fremont Holiday Fest on a Portland Fire Bureau truck at 3 p.m. December 5. By popular request, the pair will arrive earlier than in past years to pose for photos with children from 3:30 to 7 p.m. in the Beaumont Village area. Beaumont Hardware, 4303 N.E. Fremont St., will host Santa Paws, a Santa taking photos with dogs and their owners as a benefit for the Oregon Humane Society. Reservations for Santa and Santa Paws photos may be made on the website of the sponsoring Beaumont Business Association: www.beaumontvillagepdx.com. In addition to the holiday fest, the business association sponsors the Golden Ticket shopping event. Visitors who make a donation when visiting Santa will receive a complimentary Golden Ticket to redeem for gifts or discounts at participating businesses. “We are expecting a festival that really showcases the many shopping opportunities and services our village has to offer,” said Donnette Sand, chair of the Fremont Holiday Quirky humor shines in new book of essays on finding one’s place Readers seeking funny short essays on work, family, home and Pacific Northwest destinations and oddities will find what they are looking for in local writer Nancy Woods’s newly published book, Under the Influence of Tall Trees: Humorous Tales from a Pacific Northwest Writer. Woods will read from her book on November 18, 7 p.m. at Broadway Books, 1714 N.E. Broadway (broadwaybooks.net). Sometimes tender, sometimes cranky, Under the Influence of Tall Trees presents Woods’s take on everything from the miracle of birth to her failure as a gardener. Along the way, she reveals herself as perhaps Portland’s most warm-hearted curmudgeon. “I enjoy being funny,” Woods says. “It just feels so good to let it all out—like a sneeze, only less wet.” Whether arguing with The Other Phone Company, seeking out the WOODS perfect dancing dress for her young daughter (it’s “onequarter Cinderella and three-quarters Mardi Gras”), or collecting yet another rejection slip as she starts her freelance writing career, Woods comically describes the longings and labors of someone more than a little out of step with the rest of the world. When it all becomes too much, she retreats to the beauty of the Columbia River Gorge or ducks into an antique shop, for relief from “life’s trendy newness.” She also takes up spinning, becomes an oyster chef groupie, and visits Fort Clatsop to uncover the real cause of Lewis and Clark’s problems (“too much communal living combined with dense undergrowth”). Original photographs, line drawings and cartoons round out Under the Influence of Tall Trees. A transplanted Alaskan, Woods lives in Northeast Portland, where she edits The Hollywood Star News. – Janet Goetze A FULL LIFE With 30+ special interest groups and our wellness Columbia Redevelopment is a locally owned real estate company with over 7 years of experience.

Broadway Books has a new co-owner! As Roberta Dyer retires, stepping into her place as Sally McPherson’s new business partner is Kim Bissell, whom many of you may have already met (she’s been working at the store since early September). Kim and her family (husband Dan, daughters Ky and Sylvie) have lived in Irvington for ten years. Some will know her from her community involvement, including the Irvington Home Tour. She brings to the store an enthusiastic spirit, a head full of ideas and plans, a willingness to work hard, a warm and friendly personality and the skill to learn quickly. Although this is her first bookstore gig, she is no stranger to bookstores. She even met her husband in a bookstore! She’s also (no small point) a voracious and eclectic reader. We knew the first time we sat down Retiring Broadway Books co-owner Roberta Dyer, left, new co-owner Kim Bissell, center, and continuing co-owner Sally McPherson will host a party at the book store on Sunday, November 9. (Larry Peters) with her that she was a book person down to her bones. We could not be happier that we found just the right person. Roberta has been a bookseller since graduating from college in 1970. That’s 44 years of slinging stories. Almost exactly half of those years have been spent behind the counter, in front of the counter and lurking in the aisles — helping customers, ordering books, receiving books, shelving books and selling books at 1714 N.E. Broadway. “It has been a pleasure, a challenge, a wild ride, a great deal of fun and a privilege to be the owner of your neighborhood bookstore,” Roberta said. “I have not done this alone. I have been blessed with an incredible staff and two amazing business partners. Gloria Borg Olds, with whom I opened the store in 1992, staggered with me through some lean years and celebrated some not-as-lean years. We held hands through it all and were fond of saying that a business partnership was like a marriage, only more polite. Sally McPherson, my partner for almost eight years now, came to me as a longtime book-industry professional and saved my life. If not for her, I’m sure the store would have closed when the lease was up. She breathed new energy into the business and in the process became my dear friend. She is without a doubt the best book person I know.” Broadway Books is hosting a ThankYou-to-the-Community Party. It will take place Sunday, November 9 from noon to 5 p.m. The store is offering an open invitation to book lovers, readers and long-time supporters. The party will include cake, champagne, loads of laughter and maybe some tears. Attendees will have an opportunity to thank Roberta for her years of bringing great books and authors to the community and to meet Kim. For those who want to shop, on November 9 only, the store is offering a 23 percent discount on the entire purchase in honor of its 23rd year in business. One final note from Roberta: “I’m not really leaving. I’ll be working a couple of days a week through the end of the year, and perhaps after that, if they need me and I am available. I prefer to think that I am not retiring but rather transitioning to Bookseller Emeritus.” – Broadway Books For more information: Broadway Books, 1714 N.E.

SHOP LOCAL Q&A with Vanessa Basil of Custom Cuisines By Larry Peters larry.peters@star-news.info Local catering company Custom Cuisines celebrates one year in business. The following is an email conversation we had a few months ago. Star: What do you do? Vanessa Basil: We offer fresh, creative and unique meal choices and deliver the order right to you. Star: How long have you been in business? In the industry? How did you get into this line of work? BASIL Basil: I’ve been in the food industry for 12 years. I became interested in cooking during high school. The same week that I graduated high school I got my first job as a server in a Chinese restaurant. In college I worked in the dining center, campus catering and at Subway. From there I worked my way up the ladder and have experienced several different cooking environments, including hotels and an arena. My company has been open since October 2013. Star: What are two signature dishes? Basil: Napa Apple Slaw and Squash & Sausage soup. Star: Do you do parties? Weddings? Corporate events? Basil: We do not do weddings. At this time our food is all served cold with drop-off service. A meal plan is available for groups looking to have lunch delivered weekly. Star: What’s unique about your business? Basil: My business is unique because a lot of the recipes are my own design. The style is what I like to call comfort fusion, in that it’s traditional with a twist. Star: What can you offer our readers that will make their lives easier or help them solve a problem or make a special event more special? Basil: There is something for everyone on the menu, including vegetarian and vegan options. Delivery is included in the price of the order. We are available by phone, email and Facebook. A current copy of the menu can be found online. For more information: Custom Cuisines, (503) 893-2366, dine_with_us@hotmail. com, http://www.facebook.com/ CustomCuisinesPDX.

(Persephone Farm) By Ari Rosner Farmers Market community volunteer coordinator Have you been to the Lloyd Farmers Market lately? If you didn’t get a chance to make it during the summer, never fear – the farmers market will continue on, every Tuesday, through the winter. We have the unique benefit of being entirely under the cover of a huge beautiful gazebo, so we stay cozy and dry no matter what the weather. The Lloyd Farmers Market is located in the Oregon Square Courtyard on Northeast Holladay Street, between 7th and 9th avenues, right next to the 7th Ave MAX stop. The market hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Some of the vendors at the Lloyd Farmers Market might be familiar to you if you’re a regular at the Hollywood Farmers Market. Our newest addition is Persephone Farm, a 55-acre certified organic produce farm in Lebanon, Oregon (outside Corvallis). Those of you who shop at the Hollywood Farmers Market will know Persephone from their longtime and overflowing booth at that market. Also, if (like many of us) you’re addicted to Nourishment’s breakfast burritos at the Hollywood Farmers Market, Nourishment is also at the Lloyd Farmers Market to give you your fix, selling bean/rice bowls, chilequiles, and soups. Other overlapping vendors are Nature’s Wild Harvest, with mushrooms and other foraged goodies, and Kiyokawa Family Orchards, with dozens of varieties of apples and pears. Now you might be asking: “A farmers market in the winter? What even grows in the winter?” The answer is: “Lots!” Some of the products available this fall and winter include apples, beets, breads, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chanterelles, chestnuts, chilequiles, coffee, collard greens, cookies, eggs, garlic, goat milk soap, greens, hazelnuts, herbs, honey, hummus, jam, kale, mushrooms, onions, pastries, pears, popcorn, potatoes, prunes, rice/bean bowls, salamis, soup, spinach, tamales, turnips, winter squash.

By Vianne Wagner Hollywood Library library assistant Staying healthy at the Northeast Community Center. (Vicki Penfield) NORTHEAST COMMUNITY CENTER Exciting opportunities, events at the Northeast Community Center By Laurel Roberts and Nancy Gilkey Northeast Community Center volunteers, Stop in the Northeast Community Center during the day, and you are bound to find several groups of Active Older Adults – exercising, playing Pickleball, working out on the treadmill or weight machines, or simply sitting in the lobby talking together. Long-time NECC employee, Kathy Foote, adds whimsical activities to the mix, like having all members of her circuit exercise class wear attachable-Apollo Ohno facial hair during a recent winter Olympics. Many other activities are offered for adults, 65 and over, including day hikes and field trips, circuit training, Stretch and Movement class, Lap Swim, and Aquatics classes such as Joints in Motion and Senior Exercise. The Northeast Community Center is building on this commitment to wellness, and is excited to offer new classes and activities geared to the baby boomers who are functionally aging – whose bodies don’t do what they might have done when they were younger but who are still capable and need the activity. Starting in January there will be Zumba Gold on Fridays, AOA aerobics on Wednesdays, and Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The line up is meant to cater to very active individual as well as those with limitations. During the month of November, there will be free sampler classes open to the general public to give people a taste of what is available.

STAR BRIEFS H Theatre to project 70mm films The Hollywood Theatre will begin projecting films in the 70mm format in January 2015, said Kristy Conrad, the development and marketing manager for the historic, non-profit theater. A gala screening is being planned for “Vertigo,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 classic. The Hollywood will be the only venue in Oregon and one of the few in the country with the premium format that was especially popular in the 1960s and 1970s, Conrad said. Film exhibition has gone increasingly digital, and some national chains screen only in digital format, she said. The Hollywood, balancing old and new technologies, screens films in Digital Cinema Package (DCP), 35mm film and 16mm film. “It’s incredibly important to us to be able to screen on film,” said Dan Halsted, the Hollywood’s head programmer and a film collector. “Film just offers a richer viewing experience. Whenever we can, we screen 35mm, because we know our audiences want that experience. And 70mm is going to take it to a whole new level.” When big-budget films like “BenHur,” “Lawrence of Arabia” and “West Side Story” were being distributed, the Hollywood Theatre’s projectors could screen both 35mm and 70mm films. Later, as the 70mm format fell out of favor, projector parts began to disappear. Halsted began a years-long effort to track down the missing pieces and return 70mm projection to the Hollywood. Previously, Seattle’s Cinerama was the nearest 70mm venue. Koerner Camera became the lead business to sponsor a community campaign to finance the Hollywood’s restoration effort. Contributions also came on the 70mm Fund webpage. After “Vertigo,” the theater will mix classics and newer titles, including those made by directors who are “70mm purists,” Halsted said. Paul Thomas Anderson released “The Master” on 70mm in 2012 and Quentin Tarantino is rumored to be making his next film in the format, Halsted said. “For those filmmakers who are brave enough to still make movies on 70mm,” he said, “we want to show them there’s an audience for it.” Mother, child center to host feast The Mother & Child Education Center is hosting a Full Moon Feast from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. November 6 to raise funds for year-end operations. Chef Abby Fammartino will prepare a four-course dinner without gluten, soy or dairy. Wine pairing will be by Seven of Hearts Winery. Seating is limited to 26 people. Tickets are $100 each. Tickets may be ordered and sponsor or donation options are available at motherandchild. schoolauction.net/fullmoonfest2014/ or by calling (503) 249-5801. The center at 1515 N.E. 41st Ave. was founded in 1971 as a chapter of Birthright. It evolved into a separate non-profit organization in 2008 to provide more services to women in need. Led by a small staff and a large number of volunteers, Mother & Child serves more than 1,200 women each year, said Maura White, the executive director who has more than 25 years of non-profit experience. She succeeded long-time director Martha MacIver, who retired in March. “With Mother & Child, our goal is to make sure children are welcomed and nurtured in the womb, the home and the community,” said White. “We greet each young woman who walks through our door with love and open arms.” The dinner menu will include pumpkinsatsuma bisque, pecan and peppercorncrusted wild salmon, celery root fritters with horseradish coconut cream, cider braised greens and pear ginger upside down cake. – Janet Goetze WWW.STAR-NEWS.INFO: SERVING NORTHEAST AND NORTH PORTLAND NEIGHBORHOODS NOVEMBER 2014 At Youer!
