Greer designs costume, reaches
semis of network’s Halloween show
Tribal member Ian Greer, a fifth-
grader from Seattle, Wash., represented
the state of Washington in HUB Net-
work’s 1 st Annual Halloween Bash. One
contestant from each state was selected
from more than 50,000 entries.
Greer spent several months drawing
and designing his original “Clown Behav-
ing Badly” costume. He carefully crafted
his latex nose and the latex special effects
on his face. He worked alongside his nana,
who sewed his straight-jacket and pants.
He designed and applied his makeup.
When Greer was first informed he’d
won a four-night, five-day stay in Los
Angeles, the chance to compete for a
grand prize of $25,000 plus a chance to
have a walk-on part in R.L. Stine’s televi-
sion show The Haunting Hour, he could
not believe his luck. He is a big fan of R.L.
Stine and the Goosebumps series.

While Greer did not win the grand
prize, he had an amazing time as a con-
testant. He thoroughly enjoyed his time on
set. He filmed live with many celebrities
and bands such as Fifth Element. He even
had the opportunity to break dance with
some street dancers in Venice Beach.
When asked about next year’s contest,
Greer replied, “My costume is already in
the works.”
With inspiration from his favorite
TV series, Face Off, Greer already has
sculpted, set and painted his first original
latex prosthetic mask.

Governor supports NAYA housing project that will bring generations together
P ORTLAND, Ore. – Gov. John
Kitzhaber has chosen to support the vision
of a housing development, Generations,
that will bring three generations together
to create permanent families in the lives
of foster children.
The Native American Youth and
Family Center (NAYA) will spearhead
CEDARR
COMMUNITY EFFORTS DEMONSTRATING THE
ABILITY TO REBUILD AND RESTORE
Mission Statement: Working together as a whole community we
will utilize our resources to eradicate and prevent the use of all illegal
drugs, underage drinking and abusive use of alcohol, delinquency,
and community violence.

the 40-unit housing project that will be
located in Southeast Portland (nayapdx.
org/generations).
American Indian children are vastly
overrepresented in the Multnomah County
child welfare system. More than one in
five children in foster care is American
Indian. Generations is intended to address
these disparities by giving foster children,
adoptive parents and community Elders
a central location to come together and
grow as families.
The project will include a commu-
nity center with on-site services such as
a health clinic, Elder services and foster
care support services, as well as an early
learning center.
“Community leaders have demon-
strated their commitment to work col-
laboratively in bringing this innovative
concept forward. I am enthusiastic about
how the project addresses the triple bot-
tom line of the Sustainable Community
Objectives and advances regional priori-
ties,” said Kitzhaber after designating this
project an Oregon Solutions project.
Oregon Solutions brings together
public, private and nonprofit stakeholders
to leverage resources and integrate pro-
grams for sustainable community projects.
Kitzhaber appointed State Rep.
Alissa Keny-Guyer and Donalda Dodson,
executive director of the Oregon Child
Development Coalition, as co-conveners
of the project.
“We believe that Native American
children in foster care can find stability
and permanency among a loving com-
munity. The governor’s endorsement will
help ensure this vision of Generations
becomes a reality,” said NAYA Executive
Director Matt Morton.
NAYA is the heart of the ninth-largest
American Indian community in the U.S.,
providing culturally specific services in
wellness, education, employment and
more for the past 40 years.
Generations is a public and private
collaborative project between NAYA,
Portland Public Schools, Guardian Real
Estate, Bridge Meadows and the City of
Portland.
