“I’ve been meaning to send back this feedback for some time. I want to thank you all again for helping with the sale of our house during what was an incredibly stressful time. I realize this could not have been very easy for you despite all of your experience doing this. I chose your team originally based on your reputation, and was not disappointed with all of the effort and expertise.” — Matt Brodsky

It was a huge relief to have someone doing this so we could focus on moving. Once the house was ready we put in on the market and had several offers within a week. They helped guide us through all the negotiations and paperwork to close the sale. If you want a true full-service realtor, The Dan Volkmer Team is a great choice.” — Matt Keogh & Jessica Hubbs

6 Northwest Examiner, APRIL 2021 /  nwexaminer.com Was glitter bomb a joke? Office of Community and Civic Life employee Katherine Couch was disciplined in December for admitting she sent me a glitter bomb “as a joke.” But was it a joke? Was her intent to share humor with someone she believed would appreciate a lighthearted gesture? Shane Davis, a Portland Human Resources business partner, emailed Michael Montoya of Civic Life last July, offering this summary of the situation (according to redacted records obtained by the NW Examiner): “About 18 months or so ago, Allan Classen of the NW Examiner wrote an article critical of the Noise Program in Civic Life. The article had to do with pile-driver noise. “The article included a photo of Kenya Williams. Kenya shared with staff that he was not happy about the article. “Katherine Couch told REDACTED and others REDACTED that she sent a glitter bomb to Classen. She showed something on her cell- phone and said, ‘See. I sent the glitter bomb. I did it.’ “REDACTED said that REDACTED did not have much of a reac- tion to Katherine telling him about the glitter bomb. She also told REDACTED that she might have sent glitter penises to Classen if she would have known there was such a thing at the time. “REDACTED thought it was a joke and did not initially believe that she had sent the glitter bomb until he received confirmation from Classen and from Nigel Jaquiss of Willamette Week.” Montoya did not brush it off as an inconsequential matter. He posed a series of questions to Davis that should be answered: “Tell me about that meeting where you first learned about the glitter bomb. Who was there? What was said? Ever hear about it again in the office? How did it come up? Was it part of a meeting? Did anyone else overhear it? Where were you? When exactly date time? What was on the phone? Any additional details?” Last December, Montoya considered the matter closed with a memorandum to Couch’s personnel file approved by Civic Life Director Suk Rhee over her admission that she “sent a glitter bomb to a member of the press in retaliation for an unfavorable story.”
