May 2013 The Hollywood Star News 3 Hollywood Farmers Market: A perfect day trip for this young farmer By Kaia Bolster

My name is Kaia. I am almost 13, and I live on my family’s farm where I raise laying hens. You would think I would have had my fill of famers’ markets after attending at least one mar- ket each week (in season) throughout my life, but I’m still super excited for the Hollywood Farmers Market! The market is a perfect day trip, full of fun things to do. There’s live music, delicious food (including cinnamon rolls, doughnuts and my personal favorite, ice cream) and face painting. In the fall, there is even a Halloween parade. Plus, the Hollywood Farmers Mar- ket staff and volunteers are probably the nicest around. Another awesome thing about the Hollywood Farmers Market is that it’s not super big and intimidating. It’s the perfect size. Big enough to offer a huge variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, plus plenty of good food and drinks you can have on the spot, but small enough that it’s not a gigantic scavenger hunt to find what’s on your shopping list. I have been going to farmers’ markets since I was a baby, and the Hollywood Farmers Mar- ket is definitely my all-time favorite. I love everything about it: The buzz of the people coming and going, the smell of strawberries, the cool mist on my face from the sprinkler the Market puts out to cool people on hot days and the thousands of different colors at the flower booths. I am sure you will have as much fun as I do at the Hollywood Farmers Market. The market starts on May 4th and I promise there will be strawberries! You can find me and my family at Deep Roots Farm!

Kaia Bolster’s family farm is Deep Roots Farm in Albany, Oregon. Deep Roots Farm has been at the Hollywood Farmers Market since 2005.

The Hollywood Farmers Market is located on Northeast Hancock Street between 44th and 45th avenues, one block south of Sandy Boulevard. It is open every Saturday from May through Thanksgiving and the first and third Saturdays from December through April. Market hours are 8 a.m.-1 p.m. from May to October and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. from November to April. Dogs are welcome in the Market after 10 a.m. For more information, visit hollywoodfarmer- smarket.org.

“Chronic digestive illness, allergy medications and treatments are more costly over a pet’s lifetime than feeding our animals a healthy, balanced diet like their ancestors thrived on for thousands of years,” says Christine Maller, former zoologist and co-owner of Green Dog Pet Supply on Northeast Fremont Street. Maller is a proponent of the health benefits for dogs and cats provided by raw food diets. Although some veterinarians agree in principle with the benefits of a raw food diet, there are other considerations that fuel the debate about healthy diets for dogs and cats. Dr. Nancy Curran of Two Rivers Veterinary Clinic on North Williams Avenue does not advocate a raw food diet for cats or dogs without consideration of the animal’s health, the pet owner’s lifestyle and commitment to the diet, and the safe handling of raw food. According to Dr. Curran, raw meat is higher in fat and, when consumed by dogs or cats, can result in shinier coats, more vibrant behavior and fewer digestive issues. Raw food diets also can help treat chronic inflammatory bowel disease and skin issues but she advises pet owners to consult with their veterinarian before switching to a raw food diet, due to inherent risks. “Adopting a raw food diet for pets is really a life-style commitment for pet owners, requir- ing them to evaluate their own personal belief system, be aware of cost and the time it takes to prepare, serve and monitor the pet’s consumption of raw meat,” says Dr. Curran. Dr. Curran cautions that potential exposure to salmonella is a serious risk to humans, particularly toddlers and the elderly whose immune systems may be compromised if exposed. She advises pet owners to use small, independently owned pet food stores — such as Green Dog Pet Supply or Furever Pets — because the staff at those businesses research product ingre- dients and processing, unlike the staff of some larger corporate pet stores. She believes some dogs thrive best on a cooked version of a meat diet and advises pet owners about giving their Melissa Neill from Green Dog animals bones to chew on. Pet Supply opens the freezer Although knuckle or long marrow bones are good for dogs to chew because those bones that holds raw frozen pet food. contain nutrients, keep the animal occupied and can result in better, stronger teeth, Maller — Photo by Judy Nelson cautions pet owners to supervise their bone-chewing dogs. Dr. Curran adds that potential problems from chewing bones can arise, such as cracked teeth, stomach upset, obstruction and intestinal perforation.

It’s optimum for felines to mimic a natural diet that’s high in moisture, low in carbs and highly digestible, Dr. Curran says. According to Maller, cats lack a strong thirst drive; and kibble doesn’t offset the lack of moisture in their diet, which can contribute to kidney disease.

Judy Nelson Anya Stites, former veterinary technician who owns Meowhaus, a feline boarding and day spa on Northeast Sandy Boulevard, hasn’t drawn conclusions about raw food diets for cats.

History of Alameda Tuesday Club By 1913, Portland’s Alameda neighborhood was becoming one of the city’s prominent residential addresses. Often referred to as “the Portland Heights of the East Side,” Alameda featured view lots and streetcar service to downtown Portland. Small women’s neighborhood groups were popular and provided a way for women to meet and socialize. In 1913, 29 women residents of Alameda formed Alameda Tuesday Club Nature /Nurture Landscape Design in order to get to know each other, do good works and have social functions. Functional • Affordable • Beautiful Bruce Hegna • [email protected] • 503-957-7347 In 1914, the Club had grown to 31 members. In addition to having Virginia Arnold, a nationally known women’s suffrage leader as a speaker, the Club focused on community chari- table activities. Working in hospitals and making children’s clothing for less fortunate families were important activities. “I think the Club really took a step forward by befriending a family living in the woods in what is now PP&R’s Wilshire Park,” said Club historian Carol Day. “For many years they provided this family with food baskets, coal, clothing and milk for the children.” Over the past ten decades, the Club has supported organizations such as the Red Cross, Albertina Kerr Home and Nursery, Doernbecher Hospital, Alameda School, the West Women’s Hotel and Portland Public Schools PTA Closet. In addition, the Club had floats in several early Rose Festival parades. “While doing good works, there was always time for some fun,” said Day. Today, the Club of 36 members meets monthly September through May. Speakers from organizations around the city provide educational programs, and Club members provide needed essentials for Portland’s nonprofits. For additional information about the May 14 event, send an email to alatues2013@hot- mail.com.

The Hollywood StarH NEWS (503) 282-9392 20 The Hollywood Star News May 2013 Collection of stories helps children and adults understand the Bible By Janet Goetze

Some people wouldn’t read their children a story about a flood that wiped out nearly all the animals and people on earth, with the only survivors floating on an ark. A lot of parents and grandparents would hesitate to tell youngsters the tale of a father who takes his son up a hill, ties him down and aims a blade at his throat until a voice tells him to put down the knife. Jim Parker, a Laurelhurst grandfather who has taught theology, agrees that those stories from the Bible may seem frightening and many others seem puzzling, if understood only in a 21st-century context. To help children and adults understand the Bible, he has recently published A Surprising God: Bible Stories Told Anew for Questioners Young and Old. It is a collection of stories from the Old Testament, or Hebrew scriptures. He will sign copies of the book at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19, at A Children’s Place, 4807 N.E. Fremont St. The book is illustrated by Jim Shull, a Silverton artist. It was designed by Parker’s wife, Kathleen Culligan. The author’s blog is www.biblestoriesofasurprisinggod.com. Each story is preceded by a paragraph for adults that reflects current biblical scholarship, Parker said. He added an appendix, “A Storyteller’s Toolkit,” to answer frequently asked ques- tions. Those include questions about science and Biblical stories, how to regard miracles and, as a 6-year-old asked, “How does God talk?” The idea for the book came to Parker after Mass one day when he and his wife went to a toy store with their 6-year-old grandson. The boy was attracted to a collection of beautifully made, wooden animals and an ark. Parker started telling him the story of Noah’s ark. “I realized, ‘This is not going well,’ “ Parker said. “It’s a very difficult story to be telling to children who love animals. Telling them all these beautiful animals and children and people Laurelhurst resident Jim Parker has written A Surprising God, a retelling of Bible stories to help adults read puzzling and sometimes scary tales to children. The Bible isn’t just are drowned?” one book, he says, but a library of many books from which to choose good reading. He quickly skipped to the rainbow ending, which God promised as a covenant for a people — Photograph by Janet Goetze and a promise never to flood the entire earth again. However, he didn’t want to give up the idea of telling Bible stories, which are part of the Western world’s cultural heritage. Western literature makes references to the stories and other “Abraham was detaching himself from the local religion,” Parker said. He wavers, then passages from the scriptures. That literature can’t be fully understood if readers don’t know is attracted to the voice within himself, urging him to put down the knife. That voice within, the references. Parker suggests, is how God talks to us. Yet, Parker said, “My guess is that 60 to 70 percent of children are growing up without “The story is a tirade against prevalent religion,” Parker said. “God is a God of love.” any knowledge of the Bible stories.” In selecting the stories to retell, Parker said, he remembered that children often identify Parker said he’s been studying the social and historical context of Bible stories for more with characters who are also children or outcasts or “the least likely to succeed.” than 20 years.

Several nurses from the church will be available, also. The community may contribute new and gently used clothing and other items for the boutique by taking them to the church. However, the church can’t accept furniture or large items. Westminster church becomes more accessible Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1624 N.E. Hancock St., has completed the first phase of a construction project which will make the 99-year-old building more physically accessible. A ramp from the sidewalk to the Northeast Schuyler Street entrance has been completed. A base for an elevator, which will be part of a later project, has been installed for the main church building. An elevator already operates in the church’s 60-year-old addition. It is inside a handicap- accessible doorway on Northeast 16th Avenue, between Schuyler and Hancock Streets. The elevator stops on floors for Sunday school rooms, a chapel, a kitchen and the Great Hall, which is used by many community organizations as well as church groups. The recent construction also included a corridor connecting the basement levels of the main building and the addition. Work to halt water leaks also is finished. The interior court- yard, used by a preschool and a child-care organization during the week and Sunday school children on weekends, has been redesigned with new landscaping and a new play structure. “The work will make the church more welcoming to the many community groups that use it,” said Carol Turner, a member of the church’s fund-raising committee.

Lorena’s Mexican Restaurant, 4160 N.E. Sandy Blvd., is celebrating its one-year anniver- sary this month. Opened in May 2012, Lorena’s became an instant hot spot in the Hollywood neighborhood and will hold a celebration on Saturday, May 18, featuring door prizes and an appearance by the eatery’s namesake, Lorena Rodriguez, who is sister of owner David Robles. Food and drink specials also will be available. “We want to thank everybody for supporting us this first year,” says Ana Robles, David’s wife. “We have grown with the neighborhood.” Lorena’s serves Tex-Mex favorites and authentic dishes from the homeland of David’s mother, Marie Robles. The restaurant menu includes seafood, steaks, and cochinita pibil, a shredded pork dish with a special spice called achiote. Lorena’s Mexican Restaurant is truly rooted in family. David Robles’ mother, Marie Rob- les, a native of the state of Jalisco in Mexico, started her restaurant career as a bus girl. She eventually owned and operated five restaurants before retiring in 2011. All the recipes used at Lorena’s Mexican Restaurant are Maria’s. “Our chef was actually taught by my mom!” David says. “We’re a family run restaurant. We welcome everyone, and we make them feel at home.” David suggests adult-beverage fans check out their menu full of innovative drinks. Two recommendations: Acapulco Margarita and Lorena’s Prickly Pear Margarita. Additional items on the food menu include vegetarian and vegan offerings and a revamped Happy Hour menu available daily from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. to closing.
