  • What to See in Portland Update2009
    What to see in Portland, OR - by Marco Behrmann 07/02/2004 1/3 WHAT TO SEE IN PORTLAND , OR _________________________________________ Listed below you will find a couple of sights and my personal favourites to do in Portland. Since Portland was my town of exchange I do not know as many things about the other cities like Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland or La Grande. However, it would be just great if somebody could add tips about their places similar to the ones here, too! Please feel free to forward them to me (marcobehrmann[at]web.de ). I do not want you to believe that just because I stayed in Portland, and have many tips here for Portland, that a year at one of the other Oregon cities is not the same exciting. The tips listed here, however, are interesting for all Baden-Wuerttemberg students in Oregon, because many things you can already see and experience during your orientation weeks. (BTW: This is almost everything I did (among other things, of course) within my 2 ½ weeks of re-visiting in June 2004; but it took me a year of living in the city in 2001/02 to figure out which were the hot tips ☺) Here are my personal Must-Sees Oregon History Center in SW Park blocks right south of PSU (This museum features very interesting and well researched exhibitions about the development of Portland as a city as well as about the whole Pacific Northwest as it was discovered from the sea and the Columbia River; good place to check out during your orientation weeks; you get a student reduction with ISIC or other student ID card) Council Crest Park (considered the highest spot in Portland; nice views to Mt Hood, Mt Adams, Mt St Helens and even Mt Rainier on some days as well as to Beaverton; take Bus 51 [Vista]; the Bus driver often feels himself as an informal Portland guide; tell him that you are visiting and he even might stop for you at nice viewpoints to take pictures.

  • The Boring Volcanic Field of the Portland-Vancouver Area, Oregon and Washington: Tectonically Anomalous Forearc Volcanism in an Urban Setting
    Downloaded from fieldguides.gsapubs.org on April 29, 2010 The Geological Society of America Field Guide 15 2009 The Boring Volcanic Field of the Portland-Vancouver area, Oregon and Washington: Tectonically anomalous forearc volcanism in an urban setting Russell C. Evarts U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA Richard M. Conrey GeoAnalytical Laboratory, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164, USA Robert J. Fleck Jonathan T. Hagstrum U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefi eld Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA ABSTRACT More than 80 small volcanoes are scattered throughout the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area of northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington. These vol- canoes constitute the Boring Volcanic Field, which is centered in the Neogene Port- land Basin and merges to the east with coeval volcanic centers of the High Cascade volcanic arc. Although the character of volcanic activity is typical of many mono- genetic volcanic fi elds, its tectonic setting is not, being located in the forearc of the Cascadia subduction system well trenchward of the volcanic-arc axis. The history and petrology of this anomalous volcanic fi eld have been elucidated by a comprehensive program of geologic mapping, geochemistry, 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, and paleomag- netic studies. Volcanism began at 2.6 Ma with eruption of low-K tholeiite and related lavas in the southern part of the Portland Basin. At 1.6 Ma, following a hiatus of ~0.8 m.y., similar lavas erupted a few kilometers to the north, after which volcanism became widely dispersed, compositionally variable, and more or less continuous, with an average recurrence interval of 15,000 yr.

  • Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010
    Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010 Update: March 2015 Natural Areas Restoration Plan Update March 18, 2015 Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) completed the first system wide Natural Areas Restoration Plan (plan) in October 2010. The plan was completed as a requirement for Salmon Safe certification. It established restoration goals and strategies, management priorities and implementation actions. It is currently used to set restoration priorities (staff effort and funding) for natural areas. The plan stated that there would be a review and update every 3-5 years. The 2014 update modified the functional methodology and revised the weighting to remove the emphasis on salmonids and their habitat needs. The 2014 Natural Area Management Priority Matrix changes are based on the updated natural resource function methodology and ecological health determined by the best professional judgment of the ecologist managing the site. The goals, strategies and implementation actions remain the same. This updates also includes the natural area properties purchased since 2010. Methodology Update The methodology update evaluated additional functions and created a new weighting system. The original plan weighted functions associated with salmon habitat the highest while this update does not. Some of the updated functions were assigned weighted scores on a scale of 3 (high) to 1 (low) similar to the scoring used in the 2010 plan. A natural area was also given points for Terrestrial Ecology Enhancement Strategy (TEES) special status habitats and City of Portland At-Risk Species. The functions included are: (see attached memo for details): Streams: Perennial, non-perennial and within 100 feet of the natural area.

    Rod Underhill, District Attorney 1021 SW Fourth Avenue, Room 600 Portland, OR 97204-1193 Phone: 503-988-3162 Fax: 503-988-3643 www.mcda.us MAY 17, 2019 Avante Armstead receives 216 month prison sentence for killing Irvin Batalla Today, Multnomah District Attorney Rod Underhill announced that 23-year-old Avante Armstead received a 216 month prison sentence for causing the death of 22-year-old Irvin Batalla. “1,410 days ago, Irvin was abruptly taken from this world. For many of those days, we were left wondering what had happened to him and why this had happened to our family,” Mr. Batalla’s relatives said in an impact statement that was read in court. “Irvin was mixed up with the wrong crowd and his vices eventually took over his life. Despite it all, he remained committed to being compassionate and caring for his family and friends in any way he could.” This investigation started in July 2015 when the Portland Police Bureau responded to Rocky Butte Park in northeast Portland and spoke with a community member who reported that a group of children had located a deceased individual. Mr. Batalla’s body was found at the base of a cliff. Law enforcement eventually learned that Mr. Batalla and Armstead, who were acquaintances, went to Rocky Butte in Mr. Batalla’s vehicle to smoke marijuana. There, Armstead pushed Mr. Batalla off a cliff, which resulted in his death. On July 6, 2015, law enforcement in Lane County, Oregon contacted Armstead after police responded to a vehicle crash near Springfield. The crash involved Mr.
