It’s summertime and that means another great season of entertain-ment at Dawson Park is upon us. Thanks to the support of our amazing sponsors and individual donators, we raised enough money to host 4 concerts and one movie night! These events are Free To The Public and are a great way to spend an evening out in the neighborhood. Concerts start at 6:30pm and there will be a few food vendors on site including My Mamma’s Gumbo, Island Daydream Shaved Ice, and Nia Water Beverage Catering. During movie night, live performances by local musicians and free popcorn begin at 6:30pm and the movie starts at dusk. Bring your picnic blanket, your family and friends, and your leashed dogs. We’re really excited about this year’s lineup and hope to see you at these upcoming events. Concert Lineup: July 8 - Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Presents: Music-Community-Legacy - Remembering Janice & Linda July 15 - Muthaship – Old School Grooves

Neighbors in Recovery Give Back By Sue Stringer
“I don’t want to be selfish and want to be the best person I can be”. This is
a quote from a new neighbor you may not have met yet and you also may not be familiar with at least 50 other new neigh-bors who want you to know how much they appreciate being in this neighborhood.
Most people in Eliot have noticed the historic Mayo Building on the corner of MLK Boulevard and Sac-ramento Street. It was built in 1912 and was home to a beer parlor, café, barber shop and beauty salon downstairs. Upstairs were the Mayo Apartments which were equipped with modern conven-iences. What you may not have
known is that it is currently the home of the Volunteers of America Men’s Residential Center. It is the place that 52 men call home for 6 months while overcoming addic-tion and working on recovery. They are our neighbors and they would like Eliot to know a little more about them, how they are

Letter from the Editor: “Make good friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold. You help me and I’ll help you and together we will see it through” (Girl Scout song)
I’ve been thinking a lot about friendships and identity and feel-ing very grateful lately. The Girl Scout song keeps playing over and over in my head and I realize that recently I’ve had so many opportunities to make new friends in all the different parts of my life. From new neighbors to volunteering with Volunteers of America to being on the Eliot
Neighborhood Association Board, my life is rich with new people and experiences. I now feel more connected than ever to our neighborhood and look forward to continuing the journey getting to know more about its rich past and helping to foster its exciting future. I realize that there are issues we need to address and I hope that we can provide a platform for that at our neighbor-hood meetings.
I think what it means to be a

You probably can tell a story about your best group experiences. We aim to have those at all our Eliot meetings. We want you to feel welcome and connected and sense the trust even when no ones talk-ing. As Chair, I welcome you to consider joining our Board or our committees and I have nine rea-sons you might want to: 1. You’re new or you’re Eliot born and raised We welcome anyone truly wanting to serve, and represent voices and perspectives that are missing or have the need to feel part of the community through showing up and sharing. 2. You add diversity and new per-spectives This year the Association com-mitted to change because it does not really represent the full diversi-ty of Eliot. We have not yet attract-ed Board members who are people with disabilities, youth, elders, LGBTQ, faith leaders, or people who identify with or represent eth-nic diversity, so if this is part of your story please share your per-spective.
3. You’re a parent or grandparent Interacting socially while watching your kids be involved makes for a win-win community outcomes. 4. You have a skill to teach or want to learn We really need social media gurus and web skills, grant writing, and community relationships. We need both great listeners and conversa-tionalist to welcome and value people. 5. You can have fun with great people We have a great group of people sharing the work. We begin each meeting with a pair and share. We aim for a balance, appreciating ide-as, including frustrations. 6. You’re overwhelmed by the changes You can connect with others who care. 7. You can be part of the change We are lucky in Eliot because we have collective action power by creating the Neighborhood Livabil-ity Partnership to lead and fund great projects.

Eliot Neighborhood Association board update
Letter from the Land Use Chair By Allan Rudwick
Update on the Rodney Greenway project
S tarting 6 years ago, there was a long series of discussions about N Williams and what the community wanted to see there. A big part of that was seeing a neighborhood street with thriving businesses; seeing a street that was
easy to cross and one that was not a racetrack for cut-through drivers. We have nearby MLK Blvd and Interstate-5 serving those purposes. During that process, there was some concern that the bikeway on N Williams was not one that would encourage riders who needed a more protected place to ride, one with less car interaction. Riders like parents and their kids, or older riders who are less confi-dent. There have been over the years a number of folks who have suggested NE 7th as a good road to make a bikeway, or NE Rodney, or perhaps some route far-ther west. With the exception of 1 block, a route could be put through Emanuel Hospital’s campus connecting N Flint with N Gantenbein or N Haight Avenue. Alt-hough those other routes may be good proposals and changes to them may be implemented at a later date, the city was able to win a grant to build the NE Rod-ney Greenway as a part of the N Williams project. As a result, NE Rodney will be-come a city-designated neighborhood greenway.
Greenways nearby like NE Tillamook, NE Going, and others are low-traffic routes that encourage long-distance drivers to find a different route while encouraging biking, walking and running in the street and generally low speeds. These green-ways are exactly what neighbors were asking for: basically keeping the street as it has always been. It’s a place to park, a place to relax away from the business of some other streets, and to enjoy the shade of big trees. NE Rodney has always been a respite from the busier streets and it should remain so with the changes the City is proposing. Those changes are:
1) Adding sharrows onto the street – this should have no real effect and may help unfamiliar bike riders find their way
2) Adding speed bumps along Rodney – this should also help keep traffic slow
3) Lowering the speed limit to 20 mph – hopefully most cars are moving slowly already
4) Turning a few stop signs from north-south to east-west stops – this should reduce speeding on east-west side streets like NE Knott and NE Thompson which are longer blocks than those on Rodney
5) Adding crosswalks on NE Russell, Fremont, and several other major streets

The Committee to Honor the His-tory of Williams Avenue (the Com-mittee) announces the selection of artists Kayin Talton Davis and Cleo Davis as the artists who will create artwork for Williams Ave-nue. The artists, who own Soap-box Theory & Screwloose Studio on North Williams Avenue, will install 10 tile sidewalk “murals”, 30 commemorative signs and an interactive kiosk along N. Williams Avenue from Broadway to Killingsworth Street. Final designs will be reviewed by the committee in July with installa-tion expected in late summer. Look for these on the Eliot Neighbor-hood website eliotneighborhood.org and Facebook.

Pine State Biscuits The latest addition to Eliot’s list of brunch options is Pine State Bis-cuits’ new location on NE Schuyler, which came in third place in our

16% of the votes. This casual spot offers a walk-up takeout window where you can grab a quick bite to go or order a full meal and seat yourself in the small, but well laid-out dining area.

Bridges Cafe and Catering Earning 57% of your votes, Bridges is Eliot’s favorite brunch spot. With good coffee, weekly specials incorporating fresh seasonal ingre-dients, and cozy, unpretentious decor, it’s easy to see why the lo-cals love this restaurant, and re-markable that even with its highly

that cross Rodney – this should make it easier to walk north-south across these streets.
6) Adding a diverting ele-ment at NE Ivy and Rodney—A test diago-nal diverter has caused a number of com-plaints and a new de-sign has been pro-posed to make Rodney southbound only be-tween Fremont and Ivy with a northbound bike-only lane on the east side of the street. An example of this can be seen at Marshall and 9th downtown. (See image to the right) This diverter is needed due to evening rush-hour traffic from N Williams using Rodney as a cut-through route to get to NE Fremont and head east. Before the diverter and the Wil-liams project, over 1300 cars per day were using Rodney, many as a cut-through route. The city’s standard of 1000 cars per day on neighborhood greenways is intended to keep the greenways operating as local streets, and putting a diverter at this location was the best choice for doing that.
With all of these changes being proposed, the goal is the same:
Keep Rodney as it has always been. Keep NE Rodney a neighborhood street.

I f you’re age 60 or older and
looking for a great place for
lunch with a fun group of
people, plus interesting activities,
why not stop by the Meals on
Wheels People/Loaves and Fishes
Center at 5325 Northeast MLK
Blvd? We serve delicious, nutri-
tious lunches with a choice of en-
trée every weekday from noon un-
til 1:00pm. The suggested dona-
tion is $3, but no one is ever
turned away.
For 45 years this center serves
more than 67,000 older adults in
north and northeast Portland an-
nually. It’s a friendly, convenient
place to meet new people, see old
friends, or just get out of the house
and relax while eating an attrac-
tive, well-prepared lunch. We
treat every diner like a restaurant
guest. Our servers bring your meal
and beverage directly to the table.
Also, daily activities are provided

alone, so coming to the Center
gives them a chance to talk with
others. Our Center takes the place
of the front porch in the old days.”
If you’re not sure where the center
is, it’s in the familiar Walnut Park
Building (#5325) on the corner of
Killingsworth and MLK Blvd. Park-
ing is in the back and the entrance

Hungry for Lunch or Need Meals Delivered? By Dee Craig-Arnold
O n May 30th, a beautiful sun-ny Saturday, the community came to-
gether for our 3rd annual Intersection Painting and Block Party. It was a full day of mu-sic, food and fun! About 80 folks participated in giving a fresh coat of paint to the street mural at NE Rodney and Tilla-mook. Big thanks to organizations
who contributed their support – Eliot Neighborhood Association, City Repair, Hankins Hardware, New Seasons, Gold Rush Cafe, Grand Central Bakery, Pizza A Go-Go, Organics to You, Reverend Nat's Hard Cider, and Pine State Biscuits. We love local businesses! Special thanks to musical neighbors DJ Ben Wurtsbaugh for keeping us moving and grooving throughout the day and Jacob Pennison, Jeff Axline, George Taylor and Jinny Macrae for their Cajun style two step and waltz set. Jinn has been a local Eliot neighbor for 29 years! Also to Jonah Luke and Annie Jo for their delightful sunny upbeat modern folk music! (Jonahluke.com) We are fortunate to have such talented musicians as neighbors! Also thanks to project coordinator Jeri Stein “Bee” and the many neighbors who volun-teered. For more photos go to our facebook page—Eliot Neighborhood - Intersection Painting If you are available to help plan for next year, send Jeri an email at [email protected]
Clean up, clean up,
everybody do your share!
T he annual Eliot Clean Up was on May
17th and was a huge success. We collect-
ed over 6 tons of mixed waste, recycled
over 100 appliances and televisions, do-
nated enough clothes, shoes, household
items and toys to fill 3 pickup trucks to
Good Will, a half a dozen bikes to Com-
munity Cycling Center, and about 500
books were either sold to Powell’s books
or donated to Title Wave Bookstore. We
gathered donations of more than $1000
which will help the neighborhood associa-
tion host future events.
Thanks to Heiberg Garbage, Green Centu-
ry Electronics Recycling, Habitat for Hu-
manity ReStore and a local scrap metal
recycler, Jim, we were able to de-clutter
over 60 neighbors garages and houses.
The 18 plus volunteers were well fed by
Sparky’s Pizza, Walgreens and Safeway.
As in previous years, some of our volun-
teers were from the Volunteers of Ameri-
ca’s Men’s Residential Center (which you
can read more about on page 9). We
couldn’t have done it without their tire-
less dedication to
unloading neigh-
bors vehicles and
chucking the trash
into the dumpsters.
We hope you can
join us next year to keep Eliot clean!

helping our neighborhood and the program that they are going to be graduating from.
As their website states, “Volunteers of America Oregon has been leading the way since 1896 in the search for innovative solutions to our commu-nity’s most complex and intractable social problems: poverty, substance abuse, domestic violence, commu-nity justice, healthy and safe par-enting, and care for elderly and dis-abled adults.” For the last 25 years, the Men’s Residential Center (MRC) has been operating in Portland. It is a residential drug and alcohol treat-ment center. The program includes four months of intensive treatment, two months of transitional care, and six months of continuing outpatient care. The majority of the men resid-ing in this 52-bed facility voluntarily enter the program after being re-ferred by the Multnomah County criminal justice system. Through counseling to understand the rea-sons for their addiction issues, activ-ities to learn new patterns of behav-ior and outreach to local high schools to share their stories to pre-vent future addiction, the program has had great success in helping these men return to society to be-come contributing members and become stronger and more confi-dent that life will be ok without the substances they had come to de-pend on.
One of the residents, Kee, would like to share with our neighborhood some of his story and his thoughts about the program, what it has done for him and how he hopes to help others avoid the substance abuse that led him to the VOA pro-gram.
The first thing you notice is his warm smile. “I’m a calm artist,” is how Kee describes himself. Kee was born in Mississippi but as a toddler moved to Portland and grew up in North and Northeast Portland. He went to Grant High School and then transferred to Fort Vancouver High School. Unfortunately, after drop-ping out of high school, life took a left turn and alcohol addiction changed the direction of his future. However, about a year and a half later he returned to school at Jo-seph L Meek ProTech High School and received his high school diplo-ma which was a very important and proud day for Kee. But times were still tough and he returned to drink-ing and wound up spending some time in prison. He is an ex-convict but he is also a father of a two year old and thinks about how he and his son’s life would have been different if he had not succumbed to alcohol addiction and the choices he made
while battling that addiction. He heard about the MRC while incar-cerated and how successful the pro-gram was so decided to become a client. He says that he thinks it was a good choice because the staff and all the volunteers that give their time are amazing. He feels that the MRC staff want you to succeed. They are very supportive and have taught him to talk through issues and problems and about his feel-ings. The most important thing he has learned is composure. He ad-mires successful people and models his future on those who have been in his life lately. Kee also feels very grateful for the ability to continue to learn and that he is still alive and able to move his life forward. He hopes to use his creative skills of poetry, tattoo artistry and cutting hair to find a future that is fulfilling and financially secure.
Kee loves to write poetry. He likes to use his poetry to uplift people. He hopes to effect self-esteem and lifelong change between his poetry and being part of the Speaker’s Bu-reau talking to high school students about his story and how to avoid addiction. “Maybe I can make a difference to someone else so they don’t have to go through what I am going through.”
One of the many opportunities for the men at the MRC is a program put on by “Write Around Portland”. That program works with both the men and women in the residential centers. As their website states, “Write Around Portland provides high quality, skillfully facilitated writing workshops in safe, accessi-ble and respectful environments for people to write and share in com-munity, holds community readings to promote the exchange of stories and publishes anthologies to con-nect writers and readers.”
Other opportunities for the men include being part of the Speaker’s Bureau which is organized by Kristin Yates, an MRC employee and also our neighborhood association secre-tary. She bring a few of the men to speak before high school students telling their story of addiction and recovery. The men also have been a great help delivering the Eliot News, hanging fliers to advertise neighbor-hood events, working on the neigh-borhood Spring Clean Up, volun-teering at the Dawson Park Con-certs and other events. The neigh-borhood association truly appreci-ates all their help and commitment to the tasks we have asked them to assist with. They are some great new neighbors that Eliot residents should get to know. Their stories are deep and we can help support their recovery. It truly does take a village.
Neighbors in Recovery (Continued from page 1)
now living, working and playing in the area don’t know is that for the majority of the 20th century, N Williams/Albina was Portland’s larg-est African American community. Our goal is to highlight this history, through a multimedia public art project. Help us by sharing your sto-ries, memories, and histories. We are also seeking pictures, recorded interviews, videos etc. to be included as part of the project.” from the artists website. The Committee was born out of the Portland Bureau of Transporta-tion’s ( PBOT) Williams Avenue Safety Project based on goals set by the Safety Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC). In 2011 the 26 members of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) for the Safe-ty Project accepted the charge to address safety and traffic concerns on Williams Avenue between Broadway and Killingsworth and make recommendations to the Portland Bureau of Transportation. They agreed to make decisions with compassion and integrity within a contextual framework, understanding the safety issues while at the same time acknowledging past planning processes and those who have been hurt or damaged by those planning processes. They agreed to do this in a way that was inclusive, safe, considered all voices, and had positive impact on the entire community. In April 2012, the SAC made final recommendations to the Portland Bureau of Transportation. These included recommendations to honor the history of Williams Avenue .
PBOT set aside funds for a project to Honor the History of Williams Avenue. A committee of interested citizens including some of the SAC members formed to drive and advise the process. The Regional Arts & Culture Council was asked by The Committee and PBOT to manage the process of selecting and contracting with the artists. The Committee in partnership with RACC issued an open call to artists. The team of Kayin Talton Davis & Cleo Davis was selected to create their project.
Any questions about the project can be directed to Kristin Calhoun, Public Art manager at the Regional Arts & Culture Council:

No Limits By Kee
They say the sky Is the limit to our choices But how many astronauts
Feel the same? To become and live a dream
From enhancement to our brains As it states
Waste of your organs Is detrimental, collective sense
But knowledge can arise a Chosen thought
From a vision, so within With limitations in our mind Sometimes we see it blind
Chasing goals for acceptance Follow a shadow, left behind
Understand, they said We can be who we choose
So if we focus & use our eyes Is a way to figure the clues

Neighborhood Assoc. Board Update (Continued from page 3)
Palmer twenty-nine years ago. “When I first moved in I had my liv-ing room in the front. it didn’t take a week to move it in the back,” she says. But she stayed in Eliot and kept her ears open, bearing witness to its transformation as families have moved in and fixed up old dilapi-dated houses, high rise apartment complexes have gone up, gang activ-ity has declined, and housing prices have increased. Wanting to stay better informed and get more in-volved in what was going on around her, Pat decided to start attending Eliot’s neighborhood association meetings in the late nineties and ended up joining the board. She stepped down for a while, but re-turned when her pastor at St. Philip the Deacon asked that a member of the parish volunteer to develop a connection between the organiza-tions. It wasn’t long before Pat was back on the board and the Eliot Neighborhood Association was hold-ing its meetings in the little church on Knott St. “You’re driving down the street and all of a sudden this is up and this has changed and if you’re not part of the change you can’t complain about it. If you don’t go through the process and get involved, what can you say when it’s all done?” Pat explains. But listening means more to Pat than just knowing what’s going on. Wanting to encourage more people to engage with the neighborhood association, Pat helped to organize Community Conversations events, in which Eliot’s board invited neigh-bors to help guide the organization’s plans. “I want people to feel involved,” Pat says. These ideals extend to other areas of her life. “I do a block party every year with my neighbors --used to be just fami-ly, but my son suggested inviting the neighbors….I found that when you live on a block most people don’t even know each other because they’re so busy. They really like hav-ing this because they get to meet everybody. They’re able to form re-lationships and then the neighbor-hood becomes a neighborhood.“ Even when she’s working Pat is lis-tening, learning, and making con-nections. She had once planned to become a teacher after college, but took a job in the transportation in-dustry and has stuck with it for near-
ly thirty years because like her neighbor hood and her church she enjoys the people and hearing their stories. “I drive the cab and I talk to a lot of people and I see such a need of people to have a listener. “ Caring for others in the communi-ty is something Pat learned from her mother and it’s important to her that those values live on in her own children and grandchildren. When her kids were growing up she brought them to volunteer at the Albertina Kerr Center where her sister worked, believing that help-ing others from a young age would teach them to be compas-sionate. “I bring my grandchildren [to the church] all the time. Even now that they live out of the area I still try to bring them in." Whether she’s volunteering with St. Philips’ Community Lunch pro-gram, driving a Radio Cab, or wel-coming new neighbors to the annual Fourth of July block party she organ-izes, Pat is getting to know members of her community, making them feel heard, and helping them to con-nect with others. Now in her late fifties, Pat is starting to think about retirement and says her plans may involve leaving Eliot. She is thinking about selling her home and moving to a smaller one in a less dense, less expensive area. She says she would miss the com-munity here, but she doesn’t need such a large home anymore and worries that as she ages the increas-ing density of this neighborhood will make it an uncomfortable place for her to live. Her own grown daughter is currently unable to afford rent in the area. She’s also watched families leave because of the increasing density's impact on the livability of the area. Wherever she ends up Pat expects to continue volunteering and help-ing members of her new communi-ty. “I’ll get involved in an association somewhere else. I’ll keep involved always.”

T he Eliot Neighborhood Plan is going to be updated after 22 years. Last time it was
completed, Eliot was scheduled to get a water taxi stop. What does the future hold for our piece of shoreline on the Willamette River now? In 1993, Portland City Council ap-proved and officially adopted the Eliot Neighborhood Plan, a docu-ment that was the result of a series of discussions, focus groups, and years of work involving Eliot resi-dents that began in 1988. It was an attempt to chart the course of the future of the neighborhood. Eliot’s plan was directly based on the Al-bina Plan, which in turn was based on the Eliot and Boise neighbor-hoods in particular - but had ulti-mately been more generalized to the entire city. Today, the city is working through approving the Central City Plan for 2035, and Eliot residents are sitting down to up-date our neighborhood plan. We would do well to remember what became of the 1992-1994 era in plans, including our own.
The first thing that stands out when you sit down to read the plan is that it was printed on recycled pa-per. So rapid has been the pace of changing technology that you are much more likely to read it on a tablet or other LCD screen now. And look at those names! Look at the names of neighbors past, some still present, who worked on the plan. They are:
Susan Hartnett Susan Bailey John Bartels Pauline Bradford Peter Fry Larry Hill Roslyn Hill George Lampus Howard Loucks Tom Loughan Michael Matteucci Ruth Miller Lee Perlman Steve Rogers Jan Shea Ted Wainright Eric Wentland Dennis Walker The Eliot Neighborhood Plan is a delightful read, and sometimes sad. We are freshly reminded of the people and places we have for-ever lost.
Eliot’s Future: A Vision
In the future Eliot will be a neigh-borhood of individuals and families
who share a sense of communi-ty. They will enjoy living in Eliot and
will feel that it is a good place to put down roots and a secure place to live, work and enjoy life. Eliot
will also be a lively and active neighborhood providing a setting
for commerce, recreation, employ-ment and education throughout the
day, week and year. The things that did not happen from the plan stand out the most. MLK is still full of empty and unused lots and only some new buildings have been built. This, de-spite developers’ claims that our actual historic houses - the ones we were supposed to be saving and restoring with careful planning - have to be demolished so two houses can be built, or else we can’t increase density. And while a developer is trying to force six sto-ries’ worth of apartments into the middle of a single-family historic neighborhood. Yes, our planning has definitely been lacking, but it was not for lack of hard work by Eliot residents. Three and four-story housing units were to line Broadway at the south-ern edge. Instead, today there are many empty lots, parking lots, car lots and gas stations. Almost no housing nor other structures have been built. Since most of the build-ings are historic, it’s more likely that we lost more structures than we gained. One near loss was the large historic foursquare house at 612 NE Broadway, which local preservationist Mike Warwick saved by moving. Northern Eliot is the neighbor-hood’s soul. It is bounded by Fremont on the north and Russell on the south, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the east and Williams Avenue on the west. The bulk of the district is residential in charac-ter although there are institutional uses in the Knott/Russell corri-dor. Churches are scattered throughout the area. Most of this district is located within a historic district that has effectively fostered the preservation and restoration of many of the area’s Craftsman and Victorian (Queen Anne) homes. The document features a photo of Morning Star Baptist Church, men-tioning that it is on the National
Register of Historic Places, and stating that it helps define Eliot’s historic character. Sadly, Morning Star Baptist Church burned down in 2007. Then there is the whimsy - whimsy that was clearly quite serious busi-ness in 1988-1993 while this plan was being formulated - that is Eli-ot’s water taxi. Yes, we were to have a water taxi stop. This taxi stop was to be on the Willamette River’s water taxi system. It would have been ac-cessed by a public dock - yes, we were going to have a public dock! - accessible to all of Eliot and North/Northeast Portland.
