U.S. Bank Receives
Energy Excellence Award
The Oregon Department o f En
ergy awarded U.S. Bank o f Oregon
an Energy Excellence Award in rec
ognition o f the Bank’s leadership in
promoting energy conservation to
low income households.
Since 1980, U .S. Bank has
helped more than 2,800 O regon
households finance weatherization
measures with low-interest loans of
fered through the State Home Oil
W eatherization (SHOW ) program.
The measure improve the energy ef
ficiency o f homes, which helps cut
monthly utility bills and makes homes
more comfortable. In many cases,
the money saved on energy bills is
greater than monthly SHOW loan
payments, so many measures pay for
themselves. And, the savings contin
ue over the life o f the measures, far
longer than the loan terms.
Karen Tolvstad, vice president
and manager o f U.S. Bank, Commu
nity Investment Department, accept
ed the Energy Excellence Award.
"W e are very pleased to accept this
award,” Tolvstad said. “ It is particu
larly satisfying to serve the commu
nity by helping customers improve
the energy efficiency o f their homes.
We look forward to our continued
participation in the SHOW program
and our ability to assist more individ
uals in the future,”
“U.S. Bank deserves recogni
tion for their leadership and service
to Oregonians," said John Savage,
acting director o f the Oregon De
partment o f Energy, which manages
the SHOW program. “ In an era when

Superintendent
Says N.E.
Streets Are Not
Neglected
A superintendent o f Portland’s
street sweeping crews says north and
northeast Portland is being treated
fairly in terms ofkeeping streets clean.
Terry Kelsey, a superintendent
o f street sweepers, and a 14 year
employee with the city, was upset by
claims in an article in last w eek’s
Portland Observer.
Kelsey said each neighborhood
in the city is scheduled to have it’s
streets sweeped every 35 days, or
about eight times a year.
He said records show the sweeps
are occurring in northeast Portland
and that its neighborhoods are not
overlooked in favor o f residents in
northwest and southwest Portland.
He said the city’s sweepers av
erage 20 curb miles a day and there's
a system to inform neighbors before
the sweeps occur, so cars can be
moved. Parked cars block the paths
o fth e street sweepers, and just four
cars can prevent an entire block from
being cleaned, Kelsey said.
A dditionally, special sweeps
have been held in conjunction with
other city departments.
Kelsey said a special sweep was
ju st completed in the innerN orth and
Northeast Beach neighborhood in
efforts to rid abandoned vehicles and
help law enforcement.
The crews worked in an area
from Northeast Martin Luther King
Jr. Blvd to North Mississippi and
from Ereemont to Alberta, Kelsey
said.
Kelsey said the public some
times will see leaves in the street and

been enough recognition o f w hat’s

award acknowledges U.S. Bank’s
exceptional customer service and says
'thank you’ to the bank for helping
O regonians cut their energy bills,”
said Savage.
I n addition to low interest loans,
SHOW offers each Oregon house
hold that heats with oil, wood, pro
pane, butane, or kerosene one free
home energy audit, the first step in
saving energy and cutting costs Dur
ing the audit, trained energy special
ists in sp e c t a hom e w ith the
homeowner or renter, and make rec
ommendations on efficiency mea
sures. The audit also estimates the
cost o f weatherization measures and
their potential savings. The 6.5 per
cent annual percentage rate loans
finance the efficiency measures rec
ommended in the audits including
new, energy-saving windows or high
efficiency, replacement oil furnaces.
Other SHOW services include a free
furnace efficiency test and cash re
bates o f up to $400 for money-sav ing
insulation or a new high efficiency
oil burner. To schedule and audit,
call SHOW toll free at 1-800-452-
8660 statewide or 659-3204 in Port
land.
U.S Bank also offers SHOW
loans through the U.S. LOANLINE.
Potential borrowers can call toll-free
from their homes during the day,
evenings, or on Saturdays to arrange
financing for the measure recom
mended in the energy audit. The toll
free number is 1-800-USLOANS.
The awards ceremony was in
N orth P ortland at the hom e o f
Gretchen Dennison. Ms. Dennison
used SHOW incentives, including a
loan from U.S. Bank, to finance
weatherization measures in her home.

World AIDS Day Brings

Paschal remembers how he im
pacted her three children; his pres
ence allowed them not to harbor prej -
udices against homosexuals. Such
attitudes allowed Paschal, herself, to
be open with her children about her
lesbianism, which ultimately made
the family closer.
She feels that her children are
privileged to have been influenced
by this man, with his generosity, com
passion and creatively being em bod
ied in their attitudes.
Her third friend to die last No
vember o f AIDS was the sister o f the
man mentioned above. Paschal ques
tioned why two people in the same
family would die one after the other.
Eventually she concluded that per
haps she will never understand, but
apprec iated knowing they are togeth
er again.
She laughs and remembers how
nervous she felt visiting people once
they were ill. What would she talk
about, how should she act? Now,
such questions seem irrational, as
they would talk about their plans.

they always discussed.
Looking back on last Novem
ber, Paschal remembers how devas
tated she was, how she didn’t tell
anybody. She felt isolated, not even
telling the people in her recovery
support group.
Paschal learned from her friends
that nothing in her life should stop
her from achieving her goals. She
also learned that it is ridiculous not to
have plans for the future, no matter
how unattainable they may seem.
Through the death o f her friends,
Paschal learned how to live.

Hunter Behavior
Improving
The fa ste s t way
Io send money
(NU) - A recent survey o f state
fish and wildlife agencies found that
hunter education program s are seen
as having a positive effect on hunt
ing behavior.
The survey w as funded by the
U.S. Fish and W ildlife Service D i
vision of Federal Aid and carried out
bv the Isaak W alton L eague. R e
spondents, who were also from hunt
ing and conservation organizations,
said that hunters who com plete ed
ucation courses are significantly
more responsible than those who do
not, with a better overall attitude to
ward the sport.
A ccording to the survey report,
“ Hunter Behavior in America," peer
pressure from parents, relatives,
shooting com panions and hunting
guides exerts a strong influence on
hunter behavior. Unfortunately, the
pressure can work both ways: Both
responsible and irresponsible b e
havior is self-reinforcing.
Despite the good news, there are
still some problems. Trespassing on
private property rem ains a top con
cern, w ith poor relations betw een
hunters and landowners a close sec
