Does Your Yard Contribute
to Biodiversity?
By: Dr. Marion Dresner, dresnem@pdx.edu
What is the biodiversity in your Neighborhood? Help
us find out on August 5! Backyard habitat owners
and others in Laurelhurst will have an opportunity
to participate in a first-time study this spring and
summer. What difference has it made to native moths,
butterflies, and birds that you have converted your
yard to a backyard? Is the difference more pronounced
if the habitat is close to a park, greenspace or other
backyard habitat?
The greater the abundance of native plants, we would
expect a greater abundance of native insect herbivores
and an increase in vegetation cover. Adult birds feed
their nestlings insects. In other areas with increased
vegetation, native birds have also increased. We expect
a similar increase of native birds and would like to
include your yard in our study, whether you have a
backyard habitat or not.
This summer, on Sunday, August 5, you can join a
group of renowned ecologists with the Ecological
Society of America in a Bioblitz of the plants,
arthropods, birds, and other organisms.
A BioBlitz is an intense period of biological surveying
in an attempt to record all the living species within
a designated area. Groups of scientists, naturalists
and volunteers conduct an intensive field survey over
a 6 hour span of time. You would only be required
to participate for 4 hours, from about 9 am to 1 pm.
In the afternoon, we will tally our results. If you
have observations about differences in birds or
other organism citings since your habitat has been
established, please let us know.
This spring, a small group of PSU faculty and students
will be exploring these neighborhoods to begin this
investigation. We will need your help on August 5th.
Please join us and include your yard in our study. To
participate, contact me at dresnem@pdx.edu.

Business Spotlight: UPS
Our Neighbor and Friend
Ive always gone to the UPS Store at 3439 NE Sandy
to mail packages to family and friends, but it wasnt
until last year that I realized what a great partner
they are with the Laurelhurst Neighborhood Associa-
tion.
The UPS Store has been at this location for 21 years.
Kamal Gover and his sister, Kusum Mehndiratta,
purchased it 11 years ago. They had owned a store
in NW, but really enjoy our neighborhood and chose
to sell their NW operations and come to our section
of town. In fact, they have also purchased a second
store nearby at SE 41st and Hawthorne. Between the
two stores, they have 10 employees, all of whom live
nearby.
Kamal and Kusum have long contributed to the Lau-
relhurst Neighborhood Association. Then, last year,
they proposed that instead of printing the newsletter
with the City, that we print it locally. They offered
the association a 10% discount on the Citys prices,
allowing the association to use our limited resources
for other projects thoughout Laurelhurst.
If you have a printing job, or simply need your pack-
ages mailed, stop in to see Kamal and his friendly
staff at the UPS Store. Laurelhurst is lucky to have
them as a neighbor.

Mayoral Mansion: Laurel-
hurst Landmark hits the
Century Mark in Style
Reprinted by permission of Phil Favorite, Special
Writer, phil@yourstorywelltold.com
For 100 years, the estate at 3360 S.E. Ankeny St. has
been a landmark of the Laurelhurst neighborhood,
and for the last 20 years it has been on the National
Register of Historic Places. Now the stunning brick-
faced home designed in the Colonial Revival style
by noted Portland architect Albert E. Doyle is
ready for a new owner.
To me, its like a ne, well-taken-care-of antique,
said Ann Spanish Manion, a RE/ MAX Equity Group
agent. Its a treasure. Manion and her partner Joe
Spanish are listing the 6,900-square-foot house for
$1.75 million.
Known as The H.R. Albee House named for its rst
owner, H. Russell Albee, the one-time Portland may-
or and state senator the north-facing home sits
on three-quarters of an acre backing to Laurelhurst
Park. Its had just six owners and very few altera-
tions in its century of existence; the current owners,
Park Bailey and Richard Kroll, bought it in 1990 and
led efforts to have it refurbished and recognized on
the National Register.
Much of the homes rich, original interior detailing is
still intact and very little has changed from the origi-
nal oor plan. The inlaid oak oors in the breakfast
room, dining room and library, as well as the ma-
hogany and oak paneling, dentil molding and ceiling
beams, are all original.
Other stunning features in the home include pocket
doors to the library that are xed with original
stained glass and three bay windows in the living
room that curve out from the back elevation with a
view to the backyard.
During a tour of the home, it becomes evident that
Albee spared no expense in building a home meant to
impress both neighbors and guests alike. Its always
been a trophy house,Manion said. Its one of a
kind. When Albee asked Doyle to design the house
in 1911, the young architect already had established
himself as a leader of the Colonial Revival era at the
start of the 20th Century. By the end of 1915, Doyle
had designed 20 houses, half of which were in the Co-
lonial Revival style. He would go on to design several
of Portlands most signicant buildings, including the
Central Library, the Benson Hotel and the original
buildings of Reed College.

Albee, meanwhile, was a rising political star. He
entered politics in 1903 when he won a seat on
the Portland city council, and in 1910 was elected
to the Oregon State Senate. Not long after taking
up residence at the Laurelhurst estate, he ran for
mayor and won. He lived in the house for his entire
four-year run as mayor.
Having survived a recall effort in 1914, he decided
not to run for re-election in 1917 but remained ac-
tive in public life and a noted advocate and leader in
establishing the citys parks system. He was very
involved with the city parks, and I think the fact
that the house backs up to one of the largest parks
in the city played into that, Manion said.
Colon ia l cla s s ic
Framed in wood with some steel supports, the
two-story Albee House is a classic of the Colonial
Revival rst phase design. Stretched across 500 feet
at the axis where Southeast Floral Avenue meets
Ankeny Street, the front elevation is symmetrical
with setback wings anking a central block, evenly
spaced windows and topped with hipped roofs. A
paved walkway and stairs lead from the street to a
columned portico with double hung windows and
Doric entablature at the roof.
More intricate exterior detailing is reserved for
the asymmetrical elevation, which was designed
to maximize views of the park. In those days, it is
5
said homes had a public face at the front and a more
private face in the back, Manion said.
The curved windows off the living room, a stained
glass Palladian window at the top of the main stairs
and multiple access points to outside living spaces are
just some of the many and varied eye-catching details
of the rare elevation.
Inside, the main level of the central block features the
dining room, library and living room, with a central
staircase leading to the upper level. On the main level
of the east wing is a solarium another hallmark of
the Colonial Revival style while the west wing fea-
tures the kitchen and breakfast room.
The upstairs master bedroom features a large sitting
room with a replace and connects to a sleeping porch
above the solarium. Three other bedrooms are on the
west side of the second level.
While expansive, the home features a livable plan with
a mix of private and communal spaces and a base-
ment level ready to be customized to meet the buyers
needs for entertainment and storage. The richness of
the wood and other details add a warm, homey feel.
Its not a touch-me-not kind of home, Manion said.
Its very warm and livable.

Arches Update
By: Doug Lovelace, Arches Committee
The Laurelhurst arches continue to grace the borders
of our neighborhood as they have for a 102 years.
Theyre one of the distinctive landmarks that make
our neighborhood unique. The arches belong to our
neighborhood and we are collectively responsible for
maintaining them.
The Laurelhurst Neighborhood Association maintains
a separate fund for the sole purpose of maintaining
the arches and hopefully one day replacing the miss-
ing hardware. The annual Laurelhurst garage sale is
the sole source of funding for the arches. Last year
this fund enabled the LNA to hire a licensed conserva-
tor to carefully clean all seven arches and a mason to
make long-overdue repairs. Last month the fund and
teh citys Grafti Abatement Program paid for grafti
removal on four of the arches. I continue to explore
options for the re-creation of the missing hardware
and hope this year to test a sample created by sculp-
ture students at Mount Hood Community College
The 27th annual garage sale, raises about $3000 a
year towards the on-going maintenance of your
arches. The garage sale can only happen if someone
takes charge of it and this year that almost didnt hap-
pen. Fortunately, Pam Redman stepped-up and a few
neighbors have agreed to help her out.
Hopefully well have a lovely Saturday morning for
this years garage sale and the great transfer of dis-
cards will be fun for everyone. By all means, if youre
going to have a garage sale this year, pleas please be a
part of your neighborhoods 27th annual garage sale
and make a contribution to the upkeep of your arches.
If you feel inclined to contribute further, your tax-
deductible donation to the LNA Arches Fund will be
gratefully appreciated and promptly acknowledged.
Thank you for supporting your neighborhood.

Be Crime Smart This
Summer
By: Fern Wilgus, LNA Public Safety Chair
Its Spring and time to get outside and dust off the
cobwebs with yard work, sports, hiking and walks.
Did you lock the house and windows? Close and
lock the garage? Put toys, tools, strollers and equip-
ment inside? Did you take everything out of your
vehicle and lock it?
These are good habits to practice whether you are
going out, working in the yard, having fun away
from your home, or are at a neighbors home.
Why? Because you are tempting some-
one to take something from your home,
garage or yard now or in the future.
Yes, this has in fact happened.
Gr a ft i
As soon as you see grafti, please take a
photo and send it and the location to
marcia.dennis@portlandoregon.gov or
call 503-823-4824. If the grafti is on
one of our arches, please notify Doug at
doug@statestore.com. If the grafti is
elsewhere in Laurelhurst, please contact
me at fernwilgus42@gmail.com. If you
are removing grafti yourself or have a
grafti removal team please never
remove grafti from the face of trafc
signs. They are made of a reective
substance and are easily damaged.
Reporting Crime
If a crime is in progress, or you suspect
is imminent, call 911. If a crime has
happened, call the police non-emergency
line at 503-823-3333 or report online at
portlandoregon.com. If the crime
happened to you or a neighbor, ask for a
case number after you report.
A case number provides you and the
police a tracking method of illegal
activities. This is important for the
police to know in order to put more
patrols and thus have faster response
time in our neighborhood.
You may also want to start or revitalize
a neighborhood watch program. If this is something
youre interested in doing, please contact either J acob
Brostoff, Crime Prevention Specialist for the West
side of Cesar Chevez Blvd. at J acob.brostoff@port-
landoregon.gov or 503-823-0540; or for the East side
of Cesar Chevez Blvd. contact Katherine Anderson
Crime Prevention Specialist at Katherine.anderson@
portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-3432.
For more information and details about personal and
property safety please visit www.portlandonline.com/

Power of Attorney
A Simple Question?
By: Abby Wool Landon, 503-944-6974, alandon@
williamkastner.com
My 81-year-old mother, Grace, is becoming increas-
ingly confused. My sister, Tammy, recently moved
in with Grace and took on the role of caregiver.
Tammy has asked whether she should be given a
power of attorney over Graces assets. Im a little
concerned. What issues should I be thinking about
before agreeing?
You are right to be concerned, there are many issues
to consider. A power of attorney is a written autho-
rization that allows one person to represent another
as their agent, stepping into their shoes for legal and
nancial purposes. There may be better alternatives
for Grace than a power of attorney. Grace needs to
have legal capacity to sign a power of attorney. Only
a lawyer is skilled to evaluate legal capacity, which
would protect both Grace and Tammy.
Even if Grace has legal capacity, the power of at-
torney may not be adequate to meet all her needs.
Not all banks, title companies and brokers will take
direction from Tammy even if Grace executes
a power of attorney. Also, with nothing more than a
power of attorney, there is no plan in place that holds
the person who is appointed accountable for their
actions. If Tammy makes an honest mistake, or acts
dishonestly, you may be too late to correct the error
because you wont learn about it until after it occurs.
We would not recommend that Grace sign a power of
attorney without the advice and counsel of a lawyer
who has specic experience in elder nancial abuse
and disability planning.

International Tree
Climbing Championship
and Arbor Fair to be Held
at Laurelhurst Park!
By: Larry Maginnis, Urban Forestry Supervisor,
City of Portland, Larry.Maginnis@PortlandOregon.
gov
The LNA, City of Portland, Portland Parks & Recre-
ation (PP&R) and Laurelhurst Park are very fortunate!
The International Society of Arboriculture, the world-
wide leader in advancement in the tree care industry,
has chosen our city as the host location for its annual
tree conference and tree climbing championship.
Portland was chosen due to our efforts in promot-
ing urban forestry, our wonderful tree resources and
probably most importantlythe amount of fun op-
portunities available to visitors exploring a new city.
Laurelhurst Park was chosen because it showcases
one of Portland Parks & Recreations nest collection
of trees in a park setting.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite the Lau-
relhurst Neighborhood Association and friends to this
grand summer event at Laurelhurst Park. It should
prove to be an exciting, family-friendly event and a
rewarding experience for all whom attend.
On Saturday, August 11 and Sunday, August 12 from
8a.m. to 5:00 pm,. Laurelhurst Park will be the epi-
center of the tree care industry with the annual In-
ternational Tree Climbing Championship and Arbor
Fair. The best tree climbers (both men and women)
from all over the world will descend upon Laurelhurst
Park to showcase their climbing abilities, introduce
the latest state-of the-art techniques, and showcase
equipment. The primary goal for these international
climbers will be to network with fellow climbers and
compete for the crown of the worlds best tree climber.
Activities for the public extend well beyond simply
being spectators. Neighbors will enjoy an amazing Ar-
bor Fair and Arbor Market. Education opportunities
and demonstrations by a host of organizations will be
available. There will also be a fun tree climb where
adults and children can experience recreation tree
climbing in a safe and fun environment.

The City of Portlands Urban Forestry Di-
vision will host incredible aerial lift rides
for folks interested in enjoying the view
from the tree canopy! All events are free.
Eight trees within the park have been
chosen as the specimen trees in which to
conduct the competition. At no time will
the events put those trees in jeopardy.
The trees in the park will be receiving
some additional attention prior to the
event in order to present them in the best
condition possible.
A few of the competition events are:
A work climb that tests the contestants
ability to move about the tree using a tree-
climbing line and saddle/ harness. Each
contestant is required to visit ve work
stations throughout the tree, performing a
specied task at each station.
An Aerial Rescue event is a timed event
that tests the contestants ability to climb
to and safely lower a climber who is un-
able to descend without assistance.
A Speed Climb which tests the contestants ability to
climb a predetermined route from the ground to about
60 feet up a tree with a belayed climbing system for
safety.
The highlight of the entire championship comes when
the three best contestants from all these categories are
then selected to compete in the Masters challenge to be
crowned the International Tree Climbing Champion.
Please dont miss what will prove to be some great
weekend events.

Coal Trains May Be
Passing Nearby
By: Jeff Stookey, Laurelhurst resident,
jstookey108@gmail.com
Multinational coal companies propose send-
ing Wyoming coal by rail and barge through the
Pacic Northwest to load on ships for export to
Asia. If approved, more than 130 million tons of
coal could be shipped through our region every
year. As many as twelve coal trains, each one-
mile long or longer, propelled by four diesel en-
gines, could pass through Portland daily. Exact
details have been difcult for the Sierra Club and
other groups to obtain from the coal companies.
One possible route for these trains is along the
I-84 corridor on the northern edge of Laurel-
hurst. In early March I observed railroad crews
improving the rail line along this corridor. Rail
improvements are necessary for coal train lines
due to the excessive weight of coal cars and decay
to ties caused by coal dust.
Health care professionals have a variety of con-
cerns about a massive increase in rail and river
trafc for coal exports, including:
- new, major sources of diesel pollution;
- coal dust containing mercury, arsenic, and lead,
blows off open rail cars and barges polluting ad-
jacent land, water and air;
- coal dust along train corridors leads to rapid
decay of rail infrastructure;
- long trains cause trafc delays, including emer-
gency rst responders, at grade-level crossings
and lead to idled trafc;
- noise pollution from increased rail trafc;
- coal-generated power in Asia increases the mer-
cury, nitrous and sulfur oxides, and ozone pol-
lution reaching us in prevailing trade winds and
increases greenhouse gas emissions.
Portland has a reputation as one of the greenest, most
sustainable cities in the US. Oregon is known for its
forward-looking focus on 21st century green tech-
nology such as solar and wind. Clean air and water
are an important part of our landscape. Should we
support the transportation of highly polluting coal for
perhaps a hundred jobs when studies show that green
technology creates many times more jobs than fossil
fuels? Do we want the added pollution produced by
coal trains across the Columbia River and our neigh-
borhoods? Do you want to breath coal dust and diesel
pollutants?
On April 25th, Governor Kitzhaber sent a forceful
letter to the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau
of Land Management voicing his concerns and ask-
ing for a programmatic and comprehensive envi-
ronmental impact statement to evaluate the effects
of the totality of plans for exporting coal throughout
the Pacic Northwest. The Environmental Protection
Agency has also called for a thorough review. Com-
munities along the Columbia River are beginning to
understand the impact these exports could have on
the health of their citizens and environment.
Residents living within a mile of proposed rail lines,
including Laurelhurst, should be especially concerned
and everyone in the region should understand the
potential consequences of these proposals. This issue
requires comprehensive analysis and consideration
of the health, environmental, and economic impacts
of coal exporting on our neighborhoods and region.
I encourage you to learn more about this important
issue.

mation.

Be Smart When Enjoying
Summer Activities
By: Ed Rentz, Laurelhurst NET Leader
As warmer weather approaches, we turn to outdoor
recreation. For some of us it may include hiking,
camping, biking, photography, or water related ac-
tivities like shing, boating, or rafting. As always it is
best to prepare for all eventualities.
Summer brings warmer weather and thunderstorms
that can produce ash oods, a rapid increase in the
volume of water in streams, dry river beds or riv-
ers. These are caused by intense rain fall associated
with a thunderstorm. They can also be caused by the
failure of a man made structure like a dam or levy.
While rare, its good to be prepared.
The quick change from calm to raging river is what
catches people off guard, making ash oods very
dangerous. A thunderstorm could be miles away.
Be aware. If you see clouds building up, are they are
up or down river from you? If the sky looks stormy,
turn on the radio and listen for weather alerts. A
Watch is issued when there could be a problem.
An Advisory is issued when small problems hap-
pen because of a storm, like small amounts of ood-
ing. Finally, a Warning is issued when there are
big problems from a storm.
Never camp along the bank of a stream or river, as
water could rise during the night. Move up the bank
to set up camp. If caught in a ooded area, The US
National Weather Service gives the advice Turn
around, dont drown. Get to higher ground imme-
diately. Do not try to cross running ood water, even
in a car. As little as 2 feet of water can be enough
to carry away most SUV sized vehicles. If your car
stalls, leave it and get to high ground.
You cannot control or predict the weather, but you
can take precautions to ensure you have a safe and
fun trip.
