Correction: Cedarwood
is a Waldorf school not a
Montessori school
Finally, we would like to correct one
small error. Cedarwood is a Waldorf
school not a Montessori school.
While Rudolf Steiner, the founder
of the Waldorf movement, and Maria
Montessori were friends and their
respective educational systems have
similarities, they founded quite differ-
ent schools. We would appreciate your
correctly identifying us.

Graffiti removal a losing
battle
Regarding “Slides and lecture show old
South Portland’s ethnic history,” by Lee
Perlman, The Post, May 2013.
Thank you for reporting on the fine
history lesson Prof. Arnie Panitch
provided at our school in April. The
turnout and interest were exciting to
all of us who helped put it on.
Prof. Panitch’s presentation reminded
all of us here at Cedarwood of the proud
place our historical building holds in
Portland.
We would like to add a few clarifi-
cations to your otherwise fine article.
National Council of Jewish Women,
Portland Section opened the original
Neighborhood House at 1 st & Lincoln
in 1905, but soon outgrew that facility
and opened the present building at 2 nd
& SW Wood in 1910.
In 1926 they opened the first indoor
pool west of the Mississippi in their
new annex. The pool and that portion
of the building were abandoned de-
cades ago but were just renovated by
Cedarwood and reopened a year ago
this past February.
Regarding “CRIME PREVENTION
NOTEBOOK: Citizen Involvement needed
to prevent, report and remove graffiti,” by
Erik Vidstrand, The Post, June 2013.
Thank you for the informative back
page report on removing graffiti. How-
ever,
it seems to be a losing battle. The
graffiti on the [Multnomah] Viaduct
pictured was reported using the PDX
Reporter software on October 23 last year
complete with photo, GPS coordinates,
and a written comment.
If the city or state doesn’t have the
resources to combat graffiti then I
would welcome the city to designate
somebody in the Village so we can “of-
ficially” take care of it ourselves.

Stephens Creek Crossing accepting applications
for subsidized housing
EDITOR’S DESK
By Don Snedecor
The Southwest Portland Post
You may have noticed the Stephens
Creek Crossing complex under con-
struction the past year at Southwest
26th Avenue and Capitol Highway.
Waiting lists for one, two, three and
four-bedroom subsidized apartments
will be open from July 9 through July 12.
According to Home Forward (former-
ly the Housing Authority of Portland)
applicants will be placed in order of
preference and then by a random lot-
tery number.
There will be 109 apartments with
income-based rents, and they will be
ready to move in to by January 2014.
“In addition to brand new homes,
residents will be joining a community
of opportunity and have access to a
variety of programs that help them
move forward in their lives,” said Steve
Rudman, executive director.
You can apply from any computer
with Internet access at www.homefor-
ward.org. If you need to use a computer,
contact your local Multnomah County
library branch or Home Forward.
According to Home Forward materi-
als, “Preference will be given for house-
holds in which the head of household,
co-head, or spouse is working at least 30
hours per month or is attending school
or a job training program.”
Additionally your total household
income must be less than 60 percent of
area median income. For more informa-
tion about income or other eligibility
requirements visit the website above
or call Home Forward at 503-280-3830.
For low-income folks struggling to
find affordable housing, one of these
state-of-the-art apartments will be liter-
ally like winning the lottery!
