“Old Review Issues” need to be found and
recorded electronically for history
saddened, the words, “Don’t kill it; I’ll
buy it,” fl ew out of my
mouth before I had time to
plan a way to publish two
newspapers a month,
alone.
At that time, the Review was Gayla
still weekly because it had a Patton
Editor
full staff available to do so.
But, it wasn’t making the money the
other monthly paper’s he had pur-
chased from the Pry’s were making so
his choice was to stop publication of it.
The front page article on that fi nal
issue was about it being the Review’s
last. After 90 years in publication, it
would be such a shame to let that hap-
pen and I thought, I’ll buy it, and fi gure
out the dynamics later.
As we agreed on a price, Roeper and
I literally ran to the warehouse to yell
out to press workers: “Stop the press-
es!!” Seriously, that’s what we yelled.
Now, you can’t make this stuff up
and as it turned out, it was one of the
best decisions I’ve ever made in my
life.
Here’s my dilemma.
On my Bill of Sale, it says: all for-
mer issues of the Review belong to
me. However, when the fi ling cabinet
(full of history), was delivered to me,
there unfortunately were only a hand-
ful of the old hardbound issues deliv-
ered with it. I asked at the time where
the rest of them were, and the delivery
people didn’t know. I was extremely
concerned about this and Roeper said
he’d try to fi nd out where the rest of
them were. He never did.
It would be some years later that I
would fi nd out that some how, in some
way, the St. Johns Heritage Society
had most or at least, many of them.
For many years I have attempted
(via letters, notes, and conversations,)
to get these old issues returned, but
my correspondence has never been an-
swered. Now I’m asking that if you,
or someone you know can help have
them returned to their rightful owner,
I would appreciate it.
To compile and create a lasting his-
tory for North Portland, it is impera-
tive these old newspapers be returned.
Their old pages have now become
yellow, faded and crispy with time,
and soon will start to disintegrate. It’s
imperative that if the history between
those precious pages be saved, they
need to be turned into electronic re-
cords. And so, I would be very much
appreciative, if those old issue were
returned to the Review offi ce as soon
as possible.
If you can help accomplish this,
please call or email the offi ce at:
503-283-5086 or reviewnewspaper@
gmail.com.
I will gladly pick them up any-
where, anytime. I am absolutely will-
ing to still lend issues to the Heritage
Society, or whoever has them, for their
pleasure to read, when requested.
Until next issue, stay safe.

The REVIEW is published with advertising
dollars. Support the advertisers in this issue;
they help bring it to you.
St. Johns Bridge Contest Rules:
For each issue the editor will choose two pictures to be used as either a Mast-
h ead 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 read-
ers 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 review-
newspaper@gmail.com in JPEG format.
* Pictures may be cropped (by the Review) to fi t the paper’s perimeters. For photos ap-
pearing in the Masthead they need to be vertical more than horizontal. 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 suggestions 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.)
Entertainment/Crossword answers from page 7:
Stumper #1:
Did you get 5000? If so, it’s wrong. Don’t believe
it? check with your calculator.
Stumper #2:
Think the answer is Nunu? Of course not. Her
name is Mary. Read the question again.
Stumper #3:
Answer to First Question: If you answer that
you are fi rst, then you are wrong. If you overtake
the second person, you take his place, you are second.
