  • The Oregonian
    The Oregonian Right 2 Dream Too: Hoyt Street warehouse site, pushed by Mayor Charlie Hales, is dead By Andrew Theen Portland Mayor Charlie Hales is pulling the plug on the Old Town warehouse he pitched last month as a temporary home for Right 2 Dream Too. The cost of making the warehouse at 320 N.W. Hoyt Street suitable for the homeless community proved too high, according to Hales' staffers. Required improvements would have run $335,000, Hales' policy director Josh Alpert said Thursday. Alpert said Hales and Commissioner Amanda Fritz were in constant communication during the past month, and Fritz was part of the decision making. "We continue to look for a solution," Alpert said. Hales, Fritz and camp leaders are working to find other properties. A month ago, Hales took select members of the media on a tour of the Old Town warehouse. At the time, he said the city was prepared to sign a 15-month lease for R2D2, at a cost of $150,000. The homeless community has called a prominent street corner of West Burnside and Northwest Fourth Avenue home for more than two years. Last fall, Fritz brokered a deal to move the camp to a city-owned parking lot under a Broadway Bridge onramp. But at an October City Council hearing on the zoning decision authorizing the move, prominent Pearl District developers and neighborhood groups objected. Hales delayed a City Council decision so long as Homer Wiliams and Dike Dame, the developers, worked "in good faith" to find an alternative location. Officials with the Pearl group said they had worked day and night to find a suitable location.

  • VITALY PALEY BIO Chef/Owner - Headwaters, Imperial , the Crown & Paley’S Place
    VITALY PALEY BIO Chef/Owner - Headwaters, Imperial , The Crown & Paley’s Place Critically-acclaimed chef, accomplished restaurateur, and noted cookbook author, Vitaly Paley has cemented himself as both a leader and a trailblazer in the American culinary scene. Through his award-winning food, creativity, and deep-rooted passion, it’s no wonder he is referred to as “The Dean of Chefs,” by the Portland, Ore. food community. With more than 25 years experience, a 2005 James Beard Award for “Best Chef Pacific Northwest,” and an April 2011 winning battle on Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” under his belt, the Russian-born and French-trained chef explores the historical significance of food and his heritage through diligent research. Vitaly believes cooking is as much about soul-searching and mood as it is about rigorous technique and constant repetition, “we’re always out there, putting our heart and soul on the plate,” said Vitaly on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Think Out Loud. Vitaly has been instrumental in defining regional Northwest cuisine and is well-known for his clean preparations of local, sustainably-grown ingredients to produce seasonal, perfectly-executed dishes. In October 2016, Vitaly, along with his wife/partner, Kimberly Paley, opened Headwaters inside the historic Heathman Hotel. He is the third James Beard winning chef to take the helm of the property. The menu is the collaborative effort of Vitaly Paley and Executive Chef Tim Eckard, showcasing local ingredients from Oregon’s diverse bounty. Vitaly pays homage to the rich history of the location by reviving the iconic tea court, adding a Russian flare that speaks to his own heritage.

  • Hugh Mcgilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society
    Hugh McGilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society An audio recording of Hugh McGilvra, journalist and newspaper publisher in Forest Grove, giving a talk to the Tualatin Plains Historical Society on the occasion of his 50th anniversary of work. He talks about the newspaper history of Washington County for the first 25 minutes; the final 27 minutes are about his experiences working on the newspaper in Forest Grove and the community there. HM = Hugh McGilvra [00:00:00] [Recording begins mid-sentence] [HM]: ...practically everything in Forest Grove is that you don't know which is the egg and which is the chicken as far as Forest Grove and Pacific University are related. Historically, we know that they are intertwined and there has always been a relationship. I think as has been suggested by the introduction, that journalism in Washington County goes back to this date of about 1848. With a rather irregular publication of what was known as the Oregon American and the Evangelical Union, started in Tualatin Plains. Even if we ignore this rather odd publication as a real newspaper, there of course is still the Oregonian, which was actually started in Washington County, if you want to get your history straight. For a while, Multnomah County was not carved up into Washington and Clackamas County, until 4 years after the Oregonian made its [bow?] in 1850. This new county of Multnomah wasn't very highly -- was formed in spite of vigorous opposition of the Oregonian. Which regarded it as merely an opportunity for getting whatever the 1854 equivalent of the serving Democrats happened to be to get the opportunity for another office.

  • The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says
    The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says Federal Cops Were Told They'd Get Help at ICE Protest If They Were in Danger By Everton Bailey August 1, 2018 Portland Police Chief Danielle Outlaw announced Wednesday that the bureau told the Federal Protective Service it would respond to their officers' emergency calls if their safety was at risk during a 38-day-long protest outside Portland's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Building. The statement comes two days after the union representing ICE employees sent a letter to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler claiming he banned local police from responding to 911 calls from federal officers during the Occupy ICE demonstrations. The union said it left employees vulnerable to threats of violence and harassment. In a response Tuesday, Wheeler said he ordered no such policy. Outlaw said police officers responded to 41 calls for service during the encampment at the ICE building in Southwest Portland, which began June 17 and ended July 25. Portland police made no arrests, and there were no significant injuries to anyone around the camp, she said. The demonstration was to protest the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. The encampment caused the ICE building to be closed for eight days because of security concerns.

    The Oregonian East Portland park and sidewalk projects to move forward: Portland City Hall Roundup By Brad Schmidt Two notable projects in east Portland totaling more than $10 million should receive key blessings this month, with sidewalk improvements slated for Southeast 122nd Avenue and a new or expanded park soon to be announced. On Thursday, the city’s urban renewal agency, the Portland Development Commission, is expected to authorize $1 million toward a $2.9 million sidewalk project in the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood. Most notably, the project will add about one mile of sidewalks where none currently exist along Southeast 122nd Avenue, between Holgate Boulevard and Foster Road. It will also widen existing sidewalks along the corridor – the epicenter of a major housing boom tied to a 1996 city plan that promoted higher densities but didn’t prompt basic road improvements, as highlighted by The Oregonian last month during its ongoing east Portland series, Broken Promises. City officials in 2012 realized they designated too much land for dense apartments and rowhomes and shifted some zoning to encourage commercial development. Officials now say the sidewalk improvements should benefit future commercial development. “The improved infrastructure, coupled with the zone change, will make SE 122nd Avenue more attractive to commercial development that should result in an increase of commercial investment along the corridor,” according to the PDC’s funding proposal, which estimates the project will be complete in December. City Commissioner Amanda Fritz, meanwhile, is on the verge of announcing funding for a new or improved park in east Portland. Fritz is weighing two recommendations from a parks advisory board: expanding the Centennial neighborhood’s Parklane Park, the board’s first choice, or developing Beech Park, in the Argay neighborhood.
