(A third pictures may also be used as space allows.) * At the end of 2016 (most likely in November,) the pictures will be voted upon by readers for which photo they liked the best. The winner will receive a $100 cash prize from the St. Johns Review. P iCTures MusT Be : * Sent in high resolution (200+),. * Unaltered photos are preferred but will not be turned away. *Send pictures in a JPEG format. * Do not send a photo more than once. *Pictures appearing in the paper must belong to the taker of the picture, but the Review has the right to use them in current and future issues. * Color pictures are preferred. * Do not send more than three pic- tures at a time. *Pictures may be cropped (by the Review) to fi t the paper’s perime- ters.

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.) Contest ends October 21, 2016. Letters to the Editor Letters to the Editor are welcome and encouraged. They must contain a name; Anonymous letters will not be read or published. Letters may be altered for really-really bad grammar or space when necessary, but it is the publisher’s intent to leave them as they arrive. It’s good for community members to use this space to express opinions, concerns, ideas, or other sentiments, but they are not necessarily the views of the editor/publisher. Don’t be shy. Don’t worry about spelling. Don’t worry about grammar. Just write your letter and send it. Your thoughts & concerns are important. Email to: reviewnewspaper@gmail.com or snail mail to: PO Box 83068, Portland, OR 97283 Dear Editor, I enjoy the Review very much. I have suggestions to bike riders: Please paint your bikes fl orescent colors so they can be seen at night, and also wear bright yellow jack- ets. Walkers - wear the same kind of jacket so you can be seen easily. Claudia Hinkle ======================== Dear Editor, Thank you for alerting me (Jan. 29, Opportunities & Events) to the Aszemar Glenn music program at St. Johns Christian Church, free, Tuesday noon. It was wonderful!! Thank you, Anita Malady ======================== Dear Editor, I appreciate you reminding me that my subscription renewal was due. I don’t want to miss any is- sues of our wonderful local news- paper. Thank you for putting in a cross- word puzzle. It’s hard to fi nd them since everything has gone to the interest. I enjoy having a real newspaper to hold in my hands and read with a cup of coffee. I do not read any other publications any more because they’ve gone online, or they’re just full of old news and ads. Guess I’m old fashioned. M. J. Greel ======================== Dear Editor, I’ve been reading about the Ivy Island issue in the Review. I’m confused whether this is a good thing for the community, or a bad thing. I’ve always thought Ivy Is- land was somewhat of an eye sore and wonder if it was so important to people, why wasn’t it main- tained with fl owers, lovely shrubs and other pretty items. I can see where it could be made unique, but since the city obviously had no interest in keeping it maintained, perhaps it does need to go. As for the new development, I also have mixed feelings about that too. I’m glad a couple of the old buildings and businesses are gone, but have concerns about the large brick buildings coming in their place. I’m just not sure they’re going to fi t in well with the rest of the neighborhood. They appear to be so modern, not like our rustic one or two story older building. But there again, maybe that’s a good thing. I think the point I’m making is, we won’t know whether remov- ing Ivy Island and the new devel- “Letters” Continued on Page 4 North Portland Meetings The following free listings are meetings for North Portland organizations.
