I happen to live on a block where the predictable effect of such construction practices is obvious: on-street parking for folks who actually live on this block, and for visitors, is now a scarce commodity, soon to be Page 4 become even scarcer when two more apartment buildings are completed and occupied. The Planning and Sustainability Commission members have all seen the results of sur- veys showing that most apartment-building occupants actually own cars. The Commission members don’t deny the data; instead they make ideological pronouncements: people have no legitimate need for automobiles and therefore nothing should be done about providing park- ing. They behave like the physician who insists the patient with chronic pain is a fraud who doesn’t actually need a prescription. Before moving to the Hollywood District in 1992, I lived for 3-1/2 years in what was then a barely developed part of Clark County, Washington. My spouse and I had moved from Seattle and bought a charming old farmhouse on an acre plot relatively near my Vancouver workplace. Within a year, everything around us began to be subdivided. The Clark County idea of planning and development does not include building a ratio- nal street grid: instead, subdivisions are built with only a single way in or out. All traffic is therefore funneled onto whatever happens to be the nearest existing old county road. That charming old farmhouse of ours was on one of those old county roads, and the traffic became awful. That’s the Clark County way: the quality of life of folks who happened to live on those Page 17 on old roads was quite knowingly sacrificed to satisfy contractors building flimsy new houses. My spouse and I opted to move to an established neighborhood in the city. Imagine my surprise, then, when it turns out that in the rush to facilitate permits for more apartment buildings, the Portland Planning and Sustainability Commission is just as happy Page 30 as the Clark County “planners” to sacrifice—or perhaps just ignore—the quality of life of Page 16 established neighbor residents. The commissioners greenwashed their decision, of course, with support from various community scolds. The “progressives” on the Commission have also co- opted a standard right-wing political gambit by cultivating people’s resentments, specifically,

This time of year, the longing for comfort, heat and something that will transcend me far away from the dreary Northwest rain becomes intense. Although a trip to the equatorial belt would be ideal, a less expensive way to experience something warm and soothing, something that awakens you from the melancholy and incessant grey mist and fulfills your taste for adventure, is through coffee. I visited three local micro-coffee roasters, all of whom roast small batches of beans with extreme skill and talent, and all of whom can take you on a mini-adventure into the world of coffee.

The Hollywood StarH News (503) 282-9392 12 The Hollywood Star News February 2013 Happy birthday, NECC By Mickey Harnage, board member, Northeast Community Center

The public is invited to help celebrate the Northeast Community Center’s eighth birthday on February 12. Everyone is welcome to enjoy treats in the lobby of the Northeast Community Center (NECC) at 1630 N.E. 38th Ave., meet mem- bers and tour the facility. The NECC began when the community’s reaction to the closing of the Northeast Family YMCA resulted in the buying of the building and the next-day opening of the member-owned non-profit NECC. Many of the volunteers who scrubbed, painted and repaired the run-down building eight years ago are still active and volunteering, along with new members who carry on the tradition of volunteering at NECC. Many of the classes that were offered then are still offered, with the same experienced teachers. New offerings would surprise those who were present eight years ago. Jillayne Sorenson — a Nia teacher, psychologist and stress-reduction educator— is offering a Weight and Stress Connection Workshop to unravel the mystery of stress and weight gain. The February 23 session will explain how habits work and how to change them. The March 23 session will help participants learn how to build balance with key habits. The $49 cost for each session includes written material, exercises and guided practice CD’s. A second new offering is a Partner Massage Workshop offered on February 15 at 7 p.m. Celebrate Valentine’s Day by learning how to give your partner the gift of relaxation. Participants will learn to give a full-body massage and chair massage. Bring a partner and learn why massage is so good for you. Taught by Chase Szucs, master bodywork therapist. Members pay a fee of $12; non-members $15. Finally, personal trainer Patrick Johnston will lead Small Group Boot Camp Mondays through Fridays from February 4 to March 1. The fee for all 20 sessions is $100 for members, $200 for non-members. The intensive four-week training will get you in shape as quickly as possible.

For more information, stop by the Northeast Community Center at 1630 N.E. 38th Ave., go online to necommuni- tycenter.org or call (503) 284-3377. Studio B Hair Design Looking for a new hair stylist?

The 15-year-old sophomore at Pacific Crest Community School will get her chance in June, when she travels to Hannover and Berlin with five other Pacific Crest students and six students from Madison High School. The students will participate in the German American Partnership Program (GAPP), which was established in 1973 and was brought to Madison by world language teacher Roberta Cooper in 1993. Each year, students from the Kaiser Wilhelm und Ratgymnasium, a school in Hannover, travel to Portland, stay with host families and attend Madison for two weeks. Madison students have traveled to Hannover numerous times over the last two decades, when enough students have shown an interest. This year, with German teacher Myriah Day teaching part-time at Madison and Pacific Crest, she decided to open the trip to students from both schools. The American students will stay with their partner families in Hannover and attend Kaiser Wilhelm for two weeks. During their stay, they will also give presentations on what it’s like being a teenager in America and on the practice of environmental sustainability, for which Portland is internationally recognized. At the end of their stay in Hannover, the group will travel to Berlin for four nights and three days. There they will visit the Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie, the Jewish Museum and Potsdamer Platz, and will also volunteer for community service. Day spent a year in Germany as a high school exchange student and also lived in Berlin for five years after she graduated from college. “It changed my life,” Day said of living abroad and why she wants to share the experience with her students. “It opened my mind as an American.” GAPP supports the trip logistically and gives each student $80 toward airfare, but the students still have to raise about $2,000 each to cover the cost of the trip. Day is helping them organize fundraisers, including a walkathon, car wash and garage sales. She also has formed Teens Work for Exchange, which makes it possible for community members to hire groups of students to do anything from cleaning houses or stacking wood to organizing a basement, in exchange for making a donation to the group’s trip fund. Student Deborah Westlight, who spent time in Berlin with her family two years ago, said Teens Work for Exchange students from Pacific Crest Community School and Madison she’s looking forward to a more complete experience of the German culture and getting to High School, with teacher Myriah Day (center, in the skirt). know what daily life is like for German teens. She’s also been dreaming of German cuisine. “The food is the best, especially the bratwurst,” Westlight said. To learn more about the German American Partnership Program or to hire students through Teens Work for Exchange, contact Myriah Day at (503) 916-5220, extension 79384 or [email protected].

Volunteers deliver the gift boxes to purchasers’ Valentines at home or office starting at 7:30 a.m. Feb. 14. Orders must be placed by Feb. 10 at (503) 736-6325 or www.valentine-a-gram.org. Each box is $29.95. Delivery volunteers may sign up at the same number or website. Each Valentine-A-Gram includes two Cinna- bon Minibons, Sun Orchard Premium orange juice, a 12-ounce bag of Seattle’s Best Coffee, a Seattle’s Best ice beverage tumbler, a jar of Makara cinna- mon, and gift certificates from Jamba Juice, Shari’s Cafe, Sharing Spree and the Old Spaghetti Factory. LaRog Brothers has donated two $1,000 gift certificates for the event. Those who make an additional donation at the time of purchase will have their names entered in a drawing for one certificate. The second gift certificate will go to a lucky Valentine-A-Gram recipient. All products in the gift boxes are donated, said Cinnabon co-owner John Whittaker, so that 100 percent of the money raised goes to Meals on Wheels People. Since 1970 the organization has provided a nutritional and social lifeline for seniors at 35 meal sites in the tri-county area and through deliveries to homebound people. About 5,000 meals are served daily and 1.2 million each year. Whittaker and his partner, Steve Foltz, said the fundraiser illustrates the importance of corporate giving. “Both Steve and I, as do all our Cinnabon employees, feel very proud of the opportunity to support an organization as deserving as Meals on Wheels People,” Whittaker said.

Thanks to all of you who have read Hollywood Hank’s monthly column starting in April 2009. The column began with a submission of three stories to Star editor Nancy Woods, who took a chance on a novice writer with an idea of featuring the adventures of a standard Boxer named Hank. Hollywood Hank’s 46 columns featured photos by Judy Nelson, who became “This is how I like to imagine Hank is spend- his personal photographer. He was a willing and photogenic subject. Hollywood Hank visited ing his time now,” said local businesses and shared his opinions, providing insight or some take-away message for his Hank’s owner Ben, readers. about this photo taken It is with great sadness that I share the news of Hollywood Hank’s passing. He overcame on a trip he and Hank many health issues over the past several years, including beating cancer twice. Hank was di- made to Pacific City in agnosed in mid-December with a malignant cancer in his stomach that had spread to his lungs May, 2011. — Photo by and was everywhere in his system. For all his strength and desire to bring joy to everyone he Lisa McGavran Barge met, Hank couldn’t beat that one and was put to sleep on December 31, 2012, three months before his ninth birthday. Hank enthusiastically accepted the role of canine ambassador for the Hollywood neigh- borhood and became easily recognizable as “that dog in the newspaper.” It was a huge com- pliment when business owners or neighborhood residents wrote the Star editor to request that Hank visit. Right up to the end of his short life, Hank tried to meet all the requests; and he never missed a deadline. He didn’t ask for much in return but was really happy when the reward was string cheese, his favorite treat. So I ask that you remember him fondly as Hank looks down from doggie heaven on all of us. Hank had the very best care possible and was well loved by his owner Ben. It’s been a joy and privilege to share with you Hank’s adventures in the Hollywood neighborhood, a com- munity he loved. I’m eternally grateful to Hank, who gave me his voice and companionship the past four years.
