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-

from the Review.
Pictures must be:
*Sent in high resolution (200+) and sent to reviewnewspaper@comcast.net or review-

* 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

* 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.

Smoking not permitted in City Parks
Portland Parks & Recreation
(PP&R)’s ban on smoking and tobac-
co use will expand to include the en-
tire PP&R system on July 1, 2015. All
City parks, natural areas, community
centers, trails, golf courses, recreation
areas, and all other sites where PP&R
park rules apply will be smoke and to-
bacco-free.
The bureau continues to feel that
education on this expanded policy is
the best way to promote public health
and protect Portland’s parks and nat-
ural areas. PP&R currently prohibits
tobacco use at Director Park, Pioneer
Courthouse Square, and the portion of
the South Park Blocks that is located
on Portland State University’s cam-
pus. Smoking is also prohibited within
25 feet of any play structure, picnic ta-
ble or designated children’s play area.
“Expanding the smoking and tobac-
co-free policy throughout the entire
PP&R system makes the rule consis-
tent,” says PP&R Director Mike Ab-
baté. “And Portland will join more
than 500 cities and towns nationwide
which already have laws mandating
smoke-free parks. It furthers our mis-
sion of Healthy Parks, Healthy Port-
land.”
On Wednesday, June 17, 2015, pri-
or to the expanded policy going into
effect, Portland Parks Commissioner
Amanda Fritz is taking an amendment
to City Council clarifying how the pol-
icy will be enforced: only by Portland
Parks & Recreation staff who have the
authority to enforce park rules (such
as Portland Park Rangers), and not
law enforcement or other personnel.
Those smoking or using tobacco could
be asked to leave the park where the
violation takes place, for the rest of

“The intent of the smoke and tobac-
co-free parks policy is to promote pub-
lic health and protect Portland’s parks
and natural areas, not to criminalize
those who smoke or use tobacco,”
says Commissioner Fritz. “We expect
people to comply with the expanded
policy because it’s the right thing to
do for our parks and for themselves,
not solely because they’re faced with
major penalties.”
The primary method of enforcement
will be education, emphasized Fritz.
Voluntary compliance is key in the
expanded policy, which is designed
to promote public health and to pro-
tect Portland’s parks and natural areas
from litter and fi re danger, among oth-
er concerns.
Prohibited smoking and tobacco
products include, but are not limited
to: bidis, cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars,
clove cigarettes, e-cigarettes, nicotine
vaporizers, nicotine liquids, hookahs,
kreteks, pipes, chew, snuff, smokeless
tobacco, and marijuana. The expanded
policy will also apply to events held at
PP&R properties, with a provision for
golf tournaments to allow smoking un-
der permitted and certain conditions.
