Portland Community College goes tobacco-free in fall 2009 and we’re going to be facing those same good- neighbor issues. Not so much as Syl- vania – it’s not easy to walk off this campus – but certainly at Cascade in North Portland. I passed a copy of your article to the chairman of the tobacco policy committee here. We appreciate the head’s-up. Dana Haynes Public Affairs Manager Portland Community College Bridlemile kicks off holiday season with Christmas tree sale and pancake breakfast Bridlemile Elementary School looked like a miniature forest on December 6 and 7 with beautiful freshly cut noble firs standing tall at the front entrance. Trees went on sale Saturday and were quickly sold out midday Sunday. The annual tree sale, sponsored by the Bridlemile Foundation, also fea- tured hot grilled pancake breakfasts and hot dog lunches. Hundreds of neighbors joined in for the feast. Fred Meyer, Albertson’s, Safeway, Grand & Benedicts, Yule Tree Farms, and Willamette Print & Blueprint all made generous contributions. Proceeds from the trees and feast go directly to paying for teachers at Bridlemile and to supporting educators throughout Portland Pub- lic Schools via the Portland Schools Foundation Equity Fund. Leanne Hartman Bridlemile In an article in the December 2008 edition of The Southwest Portland Post on a draft southwest bicycle master plan, we stated that the plan had been created by a subcommittee of Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. In fact the work was done by SWNI’s Southwest Trails Committee. Also in the December Post, in an article about Oregon Health and Sciences University, one paragraph became garbled due to technical problems. The paragraph should have read, “Homestead board mem- ber Rich Davidson suggested that OHSU could simply refuse to hire smokers. This is in fact the policy of some public agencies in Denver. An OHSU official replied, ‘We would never go that far.’” When you choose to spend your dollars with locally owned, independent businesses: • Up to 3 times more money re-circulates in our local economy. • More local jobs are maintained and created. • The character of our neighborhoods is enhanced and preserved. • You are making a REAL difference in the quality of life of our community.
