STEEN'S
KITCHEN
BY DAN B ELL
Shaw nee Betha (pronounced
Bethae) is a Portland native w ho gradu
ated from Jefferson High School. She
is now the owner of the Madronna
Hill Tavern located at the corner of
Killingsworth and Greely.
Two years ago her husband sug
g ested th at they buy a tavern.
Shawnee’s father had managed the
former V an's Olympic Room, so it
seemed natural to pursue this kind of
endeavor.
Shawnee who is also employ ed
with the Postal Service used to pass
the M adronna Hill Tavern on her way
to her postal route. When the tav ern
became available for sale, she pur
chased it.
Located near the shipyards and
Kaiser Permanente Hospital the tav
ern had a strong food service from its
beginning.
Shawnee opened an establish
ment that originally featured nude
dances. However, over a period of
time she became disenchanted with
this motif. After a while she began to
-. • •

! ’
feature Blues magic on weekends.
Although she was adv ised against
the success of this idea it worked.
Now the topless dancers arc gone and
the focus is on Blues and rock and
roll.
Shaw nee stales that she w ith her
postal job she has the latitude to not
have dancers (even though it was a
lucrative venue). She wants to create
a tavern that is neighborhood friendly.
She is proud that she has re
ceived a citation from the O.L.C.C.
for her efforts in improv ing the envi
ronment of Madronna Hill Tavern
from a rowdy place to a pleasant
neighborhood watering hole.
Shaw nee is basically a self-made
business woman. She developed her
expertise by "doing”, and working as
a superv isor for the Post Office, and
taking business courses at Portland
Community College. She especially
credits a class she took in accounting
In her own words "Eve worked from
the bottom up.”
Initially she put in more hours at
the tavern than she did at the Post
Office. Her husband also helped and
she kept two of the former staff at The
Madronna Hill Tavern.
After two years, her mother has
recently come on board to help, and
her husband now has his own detail
shop across the street from the lav ern.
Shaw nee has mov ed on to be more of
a manager, not putting in so many
hours.
Shawnee stresses that she wants
to create an establishment that y ou
can come and cat ana where one can
feel comfortable, and that caters to
diversity.
Another dimension of Shaw nee
is her concern for community con
cerns. She is presently inv olv ed w ith
a group that addresses alcohol and
drug abuse and hopes that negotia
tion will lead to her being able to
contribute the fight against drugs and
alcohol abuse.
In this writers’ opinion, Ms. Betha
serves as an inspiration for women
and people of color who want to start
a business and have a w ill to succeed.
Good luck!
