Neighborhood House team
helps preserve a piece of
Multnomah history
A piece of Multnomah history has
been moved and preserved.
If you visit Ivan Tadic’s barber
shop at 7826 SW 35th Ave, you’ll
now see the impression of a pair
of barber scissors embedded in the
threshold.
Venerable barber Ivan Tadic,
whose time in the village goes back
to his boyhood in 1937, recalls that as
a boy he would stare at this impres-
sion outside his dad’s barber shop.
Young Ivan waited for his father
(also named Ivan) to finish cutting
hair. “As I stared at it, I wondered
where it on Earth it came from,” he
recalls.
Ivan figures the impression was
implanted in the cement work in the
early 1900s before the elder Tadic’s
time as village barber. Back then
another barber worked out of the
location.
The shop was at 7824 SW Capitol,
today Anne Bocci’s Boutique.
Rick Nitti, Ted Coonfield and Frank Rudl-
off restored "Ivan's Scissors" to a new home
in front of Ivan's barbershop.

Ivan’s dad moved the business to
current site in 1944, but until 2013
the impression remained at its origi-
nal location.
When a new, wider sidewalk was
built in the Village this year, the
impression was jackhammered out,
given to Ivan and embedded at the
site on Sunday, Oct 6.
The volunteer relocation work
was done by a Neighborhood House
team consisting of Ted Coonfield,
past Neighborhood House board
chair; Frank Rudloff, spouse of
board member Susan Rudloff, and
Rick Nitti, executive director.

Hayhurst School mom
dreams of new playground
“Community Life” article
gets holiday bells ringing
My name is Courtney Kreutz and
I am the parent of a kindergartener
at Hayhurst Elementary School. I
am chairing the committee to build
a new playground for the children,
an endeavor we have termed “The
Dream Big Project.”
I recently created a website -
hayhurstdreambigproject.weebly.
com - detailing our efforts.
The cost associated with a new
playground will be significant
so I am hoping to bring as much
awareness to the community as
possible.
To that end, I would sincerely ap-
preciate any help you can provide
in creating a “buzz” in the com-
munity. I’m not sure if you have
had a chance to visit Hayhurst’s
playground, but it is in desperate
need of a makeover.
Thank you for including us in
“Community Life” (The Post, Novem-
ber 2013). “All Things Holiday” was
spread all over the Hillsdale shop-
ping center. I have already had calls
from people who saw the article and
had a question. They had not been
to Alpenrose (Dairy) in years and
thought this show sounded interest-
ing. Many thanks to you.
Thank you!

Slow down! Reduce speed
limit along Vermont Street
What can be done to make the
roads in southwest Portland safer?
Southwest Vermont Street is too fast.
Thirty-five miles per hour is too fast
for a street with schools, churches,
Alpenrose Dairy, and parks nearby.
It needs to be 30 mph.
