Smoking near OHSU could
happen at PCC as well
Good article in the December
2008 issue regarding OHSU and the
smoking ban (“OHSU deals with no-
tolerance smoking policy,” by Lee
Perlman and Don Snedecor).
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.

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.

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.

Its about what we can do,
not what we can’t.
