Passing on Property to Your
Heirs Requires Planning
Y our intentions are good— to
leave property to your heirs when
you die. But if you d on’t plan prop
erly, your gift o f the family farm or
lakcshore vacation home could turn
into a mess for the people you had
intended to help. The following tips
are food first steps as you make your
way through the process.
l alk to y o u r fam ily. You may be
uncomfortable talking to your family
abut what will happen to your prop
erty after you die, but talking to your
family about what will happen to
your property after you die, but talk
ing now can help prevent probate
complications and family strife when
you’re gone. Talk about your inten
tions and seek feedback from your
family.
C onsider the effects of taxes on
you r p ro p e rty — now and a fte r you
die. Most people would rather give
theirmoney to family orcharity rather
than the government, but the inter
twining effects o f taxes— including
income, estate, capital gains, and gift
taxes— com plicates any handing
down o f property.
Reduce y o u r estate. You can
reduce your estate (and the taxes it
generates) by giving property (or
other assets) as gifts to individuals,
donating assets to charity, or placing
assets in a trust. When giving prop
erty to a family member or friend, a
gift tax will apply if the gift is more
than $ 10,000 per individual per year.
Over time, you can reduce your es
tate considerably with incremental
gifts.
Consult an estate planning a tto r
ney and/or financial services pro
fessional. You, in consultation with
your family and a trusted professional,
will be the best judge o f how to struc
ture your estate to real ize your wishes.
Laws vary from state to state and fre
quently change; be sure to seek advice
from an accountant on your specific
tax situation.
ONE MISSING MAYOR FOUND!
Clackamas Co. Woman finds Picture of 1852 Mayor Marye after Public Plea for Help
Mayor Simon B. M arye will now
be able to join his colleagues on the
wall o f mayors past, thanks to Elaine
Lionberger o f Clackam as County.
Three w eeks ago. M ayor K atz’s
Office put out a public plea for help
in finding the photos o f three mid-
1800’s m ayor to com plete a display
to be placed in the M ayor’s Office
for the official re-opening o f the reno
vated City Hall.
Upon hearing about the search,
Lionberger called the M ayor’s O f
fice last week, saying she had a pic
ture o f M ayor Marye in a book called
The M aryes o f Virginia which she
had o b tain ed w h ile tra c in g her
geneaology.
Along with the photo, the book
also provided the City with a little
more history about Mayor Marye.
The first judge o f the San Fancisco
County Court, Marye moved to Port
land to be a prosecuting attorney for
Clackamas County in 1852, the same
year he became mayor. He served
only a short five-month term, but
voted on the Portland City chapter in
December 1953.
T he M ay o r’s Office now has
p ictures of every past P ortland
m ayor except two: W .H . F a r r a r
and H am ilton Boyd. Farrar and
Boyd were mayors during the mid-
1800’s. In those days mayors only
served one-year terms, which makes
thephotoseven m oredifficulttofind.
The M ayor’s Office has already
searched the Mulnomah County Li
brary, the Oregon H istorical Socei ty,
and thecity archives. Mayor Katz is
hoping that relative, historians, photo
collectors or other residents will be
able to help complete the search.
Photos o f the two mayors can be sent
to the M ayor’s Office to the attention

The Oregon Association o f M i
nority Entrepreneurs (OAME) is a
non-profit, tax exempt organiza
tion formed to promote and de
velop minority entrepreneurship
and economic development in the
State o f Oregon.
OAME will be holding a lun
cheon and trade show that will fo
cus on the diversity o f business
people in Oregon. The theme for
the next two years will remain the
same; “Oregonians United for Busi
ness Success.”
Each year OAME focuses on a
specific ethnic group. This year at
our luncheon, OAME will focus on
European-Americans.
Please join OAME in celebrat
ing and honoring O regon’s minority
and small businesses on May 7 at the
Oregon Convention Center.
The keynote speaker for the event
will be Dr. Will Keim. He is an
internationally renowned speaker to
over 2,000,000 students on over 800
college and university cam puses
around the world. Dr. Keim’s teach
ing topics are numerous and include
leadership and Ethics for the 21st
Century, Building Community and
A ffirm in g
D iv e rsity
and
Multiculturalism. He presents many
o f the critical lessons o f life in a way
that truly inspires individuals.
Dr. Keim is passionate, persua
sive and honest in his appeal. You
will enjoy his sharp sense o f humor
(HOV) lane will run along a 3-mile
stretch from the Going to Delta Park
interchanges on 1-5 Northbound only.
This HOV lane will help to eliminate a
bottleneck at the Lombard interchange,
increase travel times through this area
by at least 1 minute for car-poolers, and
help decrease the pollution and safe1.y
problems created by stop and go trail ic.
Carpool restrictions would only apply
during the evening rush hour.

“Oregon small business owners
are increasingly dissatisfied with the
state’s transportation system,” Joe
Gilliam, Oregon State director for
the National Federation o f Indepen
dent Business, said today in releas
ing the results o f questions relating to
transportation from the 1998 Oregon
State ballot, an annual survey o f O r
egon NF1B members.
“ For the first time, we find a m a
jority overhaul of the state’s road
system , with 51 % in favor o f m ajor
action, 34% o p p o se d ,” G illiam
said. By a slight m argin, survey
respondents also favor building
new roads to controlling the flow
o f traffic, som e 42% favor new
road construction, 33% controlling
traffic flow.
The survey found little support
for putting more m oney into m ass
transportation. O nly 7% say they
or their custom ers w ould use m ore
will be able to start using the HOV
lane in October. The pilot project will
run through April 1999. ODOT will
monitor the project, do performance
evaluations, and consult with Metro
about whether to continue it in the
future.
The project will cost about $2 mil
lion. This includes new paint striping
and reinforcingtheshoulderjust north
o f the Lombard interchange so that it
can operate as a travel lane.

The parking lot at 60th & Glisan
is being redeveloped into a new com
munity that includes 288 new apart
ments in three buildings, 26 row
houses, a day care facility, and space
for future retail uses. O nce the
projects complete, there will be no
public parking available on the site.
Parking within the project will be
dedicated to the residents who live
there.
The site will be fenced to protect
the public from demolition, excava-
tion, grading and construction.
All cars using this site for parking
will need to make alternative arranee-
ments beginning May 1.1998. Driv
ers are urged to not park on neigh
borhood streets. Residents and busi
ness owners need the limited number
o f spaces for themselves and clients.
Local residents are encouraged to
walk or bike to the station. An alter

NE 96th and Pacific at the Gateway

Small Business Supports 'Major Overhaul'
of Oregon Transportation System
Metro Works for Quicker commute for Car-poolers
The Metro Council is supporting a
solution for people in a rush to get
through rush hour traffic. Today, the
Council approved a pilot project to
test a carpool lane on a part o f Inter
state 5 through North Portland. The
Oregon Department o f Transporta
tion (ODOT) will manage the pro
gram, but Metro must approve the
project because o f its role as a regional
transportation planning and funding
coordinator.

“These results should not surprise
us; in today’s economy, a successful
business is one that moves its prod
ucts quickly and efficiently to mar
ket, whether that market is in Port
land or in Tokyo. Transportation is
the key, and for business that means
good roads, convenient airports and
state o f the art state port facilities, but
not necessarily more light rail.
