Larson leaves lasting legacy As a tribute to Kara Larson – who passed away in May – the lower facade of the Grasshopper building on Alberta Street is being re-tiled in “Grasshopper colors” as part of s community-based project to honor her memory. The new orange, turquoise and green tiles are interspersed with tiles created at nearby Mimosa Studios by some of the many children who played a part in Larson’s life and were inspired by her vitality and compassion. “We are very excited to do the tiling project,” said Jennifer Erickson. “Kara could take anything and make it more beautiful. So, that’s what we’re doing – in her spirit – making things just a little more beautiful and meaningful. It will be a true representation of our small and far- reaching community who loved Kara so.” 18 THE HOLLYWOOD STAR NEWS WWW.STAR-NEWS.INFO: SERVING NORTHEAST AND NORTH PORTLAND NEIGHBORHOODS OCTOBER 2016 The Star Calendar is posted online every month.

Renters have been particularly hard hit by the current housing crisis, and it is not uncommon for tenants to find themselves in a financial pickle after receiving a big hike in their rent. Until recently, tenants in Portland have had nowhere to turn for help, if their rent has spiked. They have either had to pay up or find a new place to live. But Portland Tenants United, a new non-profit organization, is attempting to remedy the situation. Founded in January, Portland Tenants United (PTU) seeks to help renters caught in the squeeze of high rent increases and eviction. PTU does this by organizing tenants to advocate for tenant protection and to control their own rent. The group has already had some success, most recently with tenants at the Ash Street Properties near Southeast 119th Avenue. Renters in that apartment building had to pay a 45-percent hike in rent or face eviction. PTU has helped the tenants to form the Ash Street Tenants Union and protest the demands by A&G Rental Management. Their action (reported in Willamette Week on August 18) included a letter of demands to A&G Rental Management and picketing that resulted in extending the deadline for the residents to make a decision. That extension is a small victory for the tenants of Ash Street Properties that came after working together as a group. PTU’s communications director and Portland Tenants United picket for tenants’ rights. (Portland Tenants United) community organizer, Gabriel Erbs, noted that it is difficult for individual A 5 percent increase in rent per year political voice for tenants. PTU does not have a web site, but you renters to go it alone. would account for the 3 percent cap “PTU’s first major public event can find it in Facebook under Portland “There are legal avenues for renters, on property taxes in Oregon plus some involved a march and rally in downtown Tenants United. but the laws in Oregon are stacked maintenance and a small profit.
