P ROPANE T ERMINAL Dear Editor, At our homeowner’s associa- tion meeting last week, Pembina Pipeline Corporation (Alberta, Canada) identifi ed which neigh- borhoods they considered to be stakeholders as they seek to ob- tain a change in Portland’s en- vironmental zoning. This would allowing Pembina to build a pro- pane export terminal at Terminal 6 (adjacent to Kelly Point Park). The neighborhoods are: St. Johns, 2015 R EVIEW Issues Issue # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Date Out: Holiday: January 9 January 23 February 6 (Valentines Day) February 20 March 6 (St Pat’s Day) March 20 April 3 (Easter) April 17 (Earth Day) May 1 (Mothers Day) May 15 (Memorial Day) May 29 June 12 (Father’s Day) June 26 (4th of July) July 10 July 24 August 7 August 21 Sept. 4 Sept. 18 October 2 October 16 October 30 (Halloween) Nov. 13 Nov. 27 (Thanksgiving) Dec. 11 Dec. 24 (Christmas) *Dates are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances Article/Ad Deadline December 31 January 14 January 28 February 11 February 25 March 11 (NEXT ISSUE) March 25 April 8 April 22 May 6 May 20 June 3 June 17 DEADLINE July 1 DATES July 15 ARE July 29 STRICT.

These residents are the Portland citizens most likely to be affected in the event of a catastrophic ac- cident 1) during rail shipment of the propane from Canada to the N. Portland facility or 2) during transfer from hundreds of railroad tanks to the proposed 33.6 million gallon storage tanks, or 3) during transfer of the propane to Asia- bound transport ships, or 4) while the loaded ship sits at the dock. But building this terminal would facilitate a host of additional fi nan- cial, environmental, and ethical impacts affecting every citizen of our city, state, country, and world. For example, note that ILWU Lo- cal 8 President Mike Stanton (on behalf of 500 Portland longshore workers,) testifi ed before the Port- land Bureau of Planning and Sus- tainability (PSC), “Propane ex- ports squander the port’s potential by squeezing out rail capacity for other cargoes, including Oregon agricultural projects, containers and more. Pembina’s promise of jobs — other than a short initial construction burst — is simply false.” The PSC will continue discuss- ing the proposal at their March 17 meeting, and will ultimately make a recommendation to City Coun- cil.

Chris Fountain North Portland, 97217 M ORE C RIME R EPORTING I NFO Dear Editor, Thanks to the person that wrote the article (Feb. 20, 2015 “Re- porting all crimes to Police”, Page 6), however one VITAL bit of in- formation was left out. Callers in North Portland that dial non-emer- gency need to press ‘0’ as soon as the recorded message begins or else their call will be routed along- side calls coming in from as far away as Troutdale. Will someone please add this critical informa- tion to the next addition of the St. Johns Review? Pressing ‘0’ helps area callers by limiting the time re- quired to connect to a dispatcher, but also alleviates the added frus- tration of unnecessary wait time. Also of interest is that the dis- patch phone operators are NOT ‘managed’ by the same govern- mental department head as PPD. This may be a subject worth fur- ther reporting... Thank you, Brita Douglas From the Editor: Thank you Brita for you letter. The article was actu- ally submitted by the City of Pdx.) Contest Rules: For each issue the editor will choose two pictures to be used as either a Mast- head or as a Photo of the Week. A third pictures may also be used as space allows. At the end of 2015 (most likely in November,) the pictures will be voted upon by readers for which photo reader’s liked the best. The winner will receive a $100 cash prize from the Review. Pictures must be: *Sent in high resolution (200+) and sent to reviewnewspaper@comcast.net or reviewnewspaper@gmail.com in JPEG format. * Pictures may be cropped (by the Review) to fi t the paper’s perimeters. For photos appearing in the Masthead they need to be vertical more than horizon- tal. Masthead pictures are 10.25” across, and 3” to 5” tall. Pictures of the Week can be vertical or horizontal and any size. * Pictures appearing in the paper must belong to taker of the picture, but the Review has the right to use them in current and future issues. * Color pictures are preferred, but outstanding black & whites might be used. * Photos used in 2013 and/or 2014 may be sent and used again. * If multiple photos are sent at one time by a photographer, the Review will use judgment for the picture (or pics) we think will print best in the paper. * Since this is a fi rst, these rules may change during the year, or more sugges- tions and rules added. (We’ll learn as we go.) * One vote per person. Voting begins in November where all the year’s pictures will be re-shown. (Disclaimer: Pictures appearing in the paper are reformatted to tiff’s at 600 resolution for printing presses. After placement in the paper and being printed on newsprint, the photos may lose a certain amount of clarity. The Review cannot be responsible for lack of clarity or any other changes in the pictures. The Review is not responsible or liable for pictures sent in saying their author has taken them when in fact they may not have.) $13/per year Circulation Mgr: Ginger Harris Circulation Manager: Ginger Harris; Assist Circulation Mgr: Roger Meyers.
