oUroPiNioN Rapid buses rising as an option to rail he boisterous backlash against new rail projects in the metro area has overshadowed quiet talk about a cheaper alternative to light rail that Thasn’t yet been tried in this area: bus rapid tran- sit. This form of transit, however, may begin receiving greater attention now that a Metro steering committee has identified it as a possible option for better service in the transportation corridor between Portland and Tigard. In October, the Southwest Corridor Plan Steering Com- mittee agreed to move forward with studies of both light rail and bus rapid transit for the corridor. We agree that the two options should be on the table, since the compari- son will give Tigard, Tualatin and Sherwood area resi- dents a more complete understanding of the benefits or disadvantages of each. The emerging interest in bus rapid transit comes at a time when expansion of TriMet’s light rail system is fac- ing new obstacles. Costs continue to rise for light rail, and residents within suburban communities are divided over whether they want MAX lines in their towns. In recent elections, Clackamas County, Tigard and King City voters approved measures that could require public votes on funding rail projects. Closer to home, the Lake Oswego City Council pulled out of an ambitious project to extend the Portland Streetcar into Lake Oswego. The political challenges, while daunting, are nothing new — TriMet has overcome them in the past. But the fi- Just for today — would nancial obstacles to new light-rail lines could be even greater. In an era of constrained budgets and increased competition for federal transit dollars, it will be all that much harder to obtain funding for light rail.

ore than 280 photographers par- ticipated in the city of Lake Os- wego’s fourth annual photo con- Mtest. First place winners were:

Category 1 — Life in Lake oswego “runner on kruse way Path” by hoLLy gibson Gibson, a past photo contest winner, took this photo last year with the contest in mind. It was taken on her lunch hour walk. When the runner went past her on the path, Gibson realized it would look really cool to have him framed by all the colorful trees. Gibson moved to Lake Oswego in 2005 from New Mexico and works at a law firm here. She loves Lake Oswego and feels that each part of the city, from Lake Grove to the Stafford area, is unique and provides many different photo opportunities.

Category 2 — PLaCes in Lake oswego “Cooks butte” by Maina DonaLDson Donaldson’s mother died two days before she shot this photo. She felt that her mom was there with her on that foggy, colorful au- tumn morning walk — the pictures she took that day expressed her absence as well as presence. Donaldson and her family moved to Lake Oswego in 2010 from the San Francisco Bay Area. As a relatively new resident, she is still in discovery mode; her eyes are wide open to the area’s charms, and she suspects she hasn’t discovered all the really fine nooks and crannies yet.

Category 3 — PeoPLe of Lake oswego “Put Me in, CoaCh” by gayLe MiCkey Mickey’s “Put Me in, Coach “ was taken at Hazelia Field — the young athletes were there for a photo shoot and were sitting awaiting instructions. In addition, Mickey’s photo “Playing on Oswego Lake” — featuring Will Stelk as he Category 1 — Life in Lake Oswego — “Runner on Kruse Way Path” by Holly Gibson was trying to learn how to surf behind their boat — won second place in that category. Mickey, a fourth-generation Lake Oswe- gan, enjoys history/trivia about the lake. She loves taking pictures and often sees the shot in her mind before taking it. Her two chil- dren were featured in her 2010 winning pho- to, “Fun on the Lake.”

Category 4 — Positive aging in Lake oswego “CouPLe at george rogers Park” by MiChaeL berger Berger’s photo features the same couple that are seen in the 2011 photo winner, “Eve- ning Stroll.” In addition, his photo, “Dressed to Win,” won third place in that category. That photo features Everett, one of the Scrabble folks who routinely play at the Lake Oswego Adult Community Center. After three decades of an engineering ca- reer, Berger began a slow transition to pho- tography. This change has permitted him to combine the technical and creative into one. The transition has been fun. He shoots many subjects but likes to focus on the structure present in both the man-made and natural world. Berger’s wife works at LOACC so he spends a lot of time in Lake Oswego and takes many photographs there.

Category 5 — youth (PhotograPher is age 18 or younger) “Minuet” by MaDeLeine vesseLy Vessely, an amateur photographer and a freshman in high school, has lived in Lake Oswego her entire life. She is currently in Category 5 — Youth (photographer is age 18 or younger) boarding school in North Carolina.. — “Minuet” by Madeleine Vessely “Minuet,” which was taken on her grand- parents’ driveway in Lake Oswego, features her cousin, Elizabeth.
