I have had the privilege of being a part of the JOIN communi- ty for 7 years—fi rst as a community partner, then as a Board member, later a staff member, and now as the 2015 Board of Directors Executive Director. Chris Bonner, President There is one story that brings home the point of what JOIN really Hasson Company means about building relationships and cultivating community. John and I fi rst met when I was working at JOIN’s Basic Service Margaret Bryant, Vice President Center, or what we call the “House.” He had been sleeping outside Bryant Garcia Benefi t Consultants for several years, coming to JOIN for basic needs like showers, a locker to store his belongings, and community. I would often fi nd Nathan BeaƩ y, Treasurer him in the House playing dominoes, or using one of our computers Umpqua Bank to check apartment availability or connect with his family on face- book. Anna Plumb, Secretary Multnomah County John’s life has been fi lled with struggles and what he calls “bad choices.” He has a history of addiction and many encounters with Fineke Brasser law enforcement. He has children and grand-children he hasn’t Community Volunteer seen in person for years. John also has a college education, a his- tory of well-paying and high power jobs, and beautiful stories of Russ Campbell friendships and family events. His eyes light up when he talks CRG, Inc. about his family. Andrea Durbin When I left JOIN as a staff member over a year ago, we said we Oregon Environmental Council would keep in touch, but that proved diffi cult due to his inability to pay for a phone.

He came running Chamber of Commerce down the street to tell me the good news—he had found housing! With the support of JOIN outreach worker, Lio, John had found Aaron Nawrocki an apartment he could aff ord.

  • A Link Between Ph Homeostasis and Colistin Resistance in Bacteria Pradip R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A link between pH homeostasis and colistin resistance in bacteria Pradip R. Panta & William T. Doerrler* Colistin resistance is complex and multifactorial. DbcA is an inner membrane protein belonging to the DedA superfamily required for maintaining extreme colistin resistance of Burkholderia thailandensis. The molecular mechanisms behind this remain unclear. Here, we report that ∆dbcA displays alkaline pH/bicarbonate sensitivity and propose a role of DbcA in extreme colistin resistance of B. thailandensis by maintaining cytoplasmic pH homeostasis. We found that alkaline pH or presence of sodium bicarbonate displays a synergistic efect with colistin against not only extremely colistin resistant species like B. thailandensis and Serratia marcescens, but also a majority of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria tested, suggesting a link between cytoplasmic pH homeostasis and colistin resistance across species. We found that lowering the level of oxygen in the growth media or supplementation of fermentable sugars such as glucose not only alleviated alkaline pH stress, but also increased colistin resistance in most bacteria tested, likely by avoiding cytoplasmic alkalinization. Our observations suggest a previously unreported link between pH, oxygen, and colistin resistance. We propose that maintaining optimal cytoplasmic pH is required for colistin resistance in a majority of bacterial species, consistent with the emerging link between cytoplasmic pH homeostasis and antibiotic resistance. Colistin is a cationic antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) belonging to the polymyxin antibiotic family, which was frst isolated from a Gram-positive soil bacteria Bacillus polymyxa1. A rise in multidrug resistance among bacterial pathogens and a lack of new antimicrobial drugs have led to renewed interest in reviving older antimicrobial agents such as polymyxin2.

Getting involved is as easy as dining at any participating eatery. For participating restaurants, this is an opportunity to show their commitment to Raphael House’s mission of someday ending domestic violence. As Michelle Glass of Nel Centro shared, “fighting domestic violence takes all of us working together to support organizations like Raphael House.” The choice to be involved is a personal one for GiGi’s Café owner Charlene Wesler.

    Homeless Housing Alternatives “From Self-Organized Camps to Tiny House Villages” Andrew Heben Forum in Humboldt County Saturday, November 15, 2014 (11am to 3pm) Eureka Woman’s Club-1531 J Street Tent City Urbanism “From Self-Organized Camps to Tiny House Villages” explores the intersection of the "tiny house movement" and tent cities organized by the homeless to present an accessible and sustainable housing paradigm that can improve the quality of life for everyone. While tent cities tend to evoke either sympathy or disgust, the author finds such informal settlements actually address many of the shortfalls of more formal responses to homelessness. Tent cities often exemplify self-management, direct democracy, tolerance, mutual aid, and resourceful strategies for living with less. This book presents a vision for how cities can constructively build upon these positive dynamics rather than continuing to seek evictions and pay the high costs of policing homelessness. The tiny house village provides a path forward to transitional and affordable housing within the grasp of a local community. It offers a bottom-up approach to the provision of shelter that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable—both for the individual and the city. The concept was first pioneered by Portland's Dignity Village, and has since been re-imagined by Eugene's Join Us in Creating These New Opportunity Village and Olympia's Quixote Village. Now this innovative model has emerged from the Northwest to inspire projects in Madison, Austin, and Community Based Alternatives Ithaca, and is being pursued by advocacy groups throughout the country. AHHA-HumCo Andrew Heben is an urban planner, writer, and tiny house builder based in Affordable Homeless Housing Alternatives Eugene, Oregon.

  • Town Hall #1 Event Summary
    Comprehensive Plan Town Hall #1 Event Summary Overview The first of three Milwaukie Comprehensive Plan Update town halls took place on April 4, 2018 in the Waldorf School gymnasium. Around 120 community members participated in the event. The town hall began with introductory presentations followed by small-group discussions on the four policy areas under review in Block 1: • Economic development • Urban growth management • History, arts and culture • Community engagement Simultaneous translation was offered for Spanish-speaking community members, and one breakout group was conducted in Spanish. Before the event adjourned, representatives from the community and Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) reported out one “big idea” from each breakout table. In addition to the small group discussions, attendees had the opportunity to provide feedback on all four topics through a comment form. In total, the city received 25 comment forms. Welcome and introductory remarks The town hall began with introductory remarks by Mayor Mark Gamba. He thanked attendees for taking part in this important effort, which continues the work begun through the community visioning process. Mayor Gamba explained that the adoption of an updated Comprehensive Plan is a crucial step toward realizing Milwaukie’s Community Vision. Planning Director Denny Egner provided an overview of the comprehensive planning process. Denny explained the Comprehensive Plan includes policies, maps and ancillary plans that reflect and are consistent with Milwaukie’s Vision and Action Plan, state and regional goals, and community input. The plan is implemented through development and zoning codes as well as through city projects and programs. Topic-specific feedback Notetakers from all 13 breakout discussions recorded feedback on flip charts during the event.
