SP 4449 - The Holiday Express - Oaks Bottom, Portland, Oregon
SP 4449 was built in 1941 as a GS-4 Northern type locomotive. A 4-8-4 wheel arrangement, she is 110' long, 10' wide and 16' tall. The locomotive and tender weighs 433 tons, and it operates with a boiler pressure of 300 psi. Her eight 80 diameter drivers and unique booster truck can apply 5,500 horsepower to the rails and exceed 100 mph.
The only remaining operable streamlined steam locomotive of the Art Deco era, SP 4449 pulled Southern Pacific Daylight coaches from Los Angeles to San Francisco over the scenic Coast Route and then on to Portland until 1955. Retired to static display at Oaks Park in 1958, most thought SP 4449 would never run again.
In 1974, she was selected to pull the American Freedom Train throughout the United States, and was subsequently rebuilt. SP 4449 ran for three years to the delight of over 30 million people. She is arguably one of the most beautiful locomotives ever built -- and kept that way by the all-volunteer Friends of SP 4449!

Oregon Consensus & U.S. Fish & Wildlife: The Collaborative Way
Learn how to solve public conflicts collaboratively using Oregon Consensus orconsensus.pdx.edu. View the history of an environmental conflict between agencies, environmentalists, and ranchers concerned about cattle grazing in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. A successful citizen engagement process, facilitated by Portland State University's Oregon Consensus, between the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Malheur Wildlife Refuge staff, Environmental interests, local and county officials and the dedicated citizens of Harney County, Oregon, resulted in sustainable solutions to address carp infestations that are polluting water that wildlife and local ranchers rely on. This alternative dispute resolution process produced a widely supported Comprehensive Conservation Plan for the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The film was produced by Studio Kate in Portland, Oregon

Portland, Oregon’s largest city, sits on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood. It’s known for its parks, bridges and bicycle paths, as well as for its eco-friendliness and its microbreweries and coffeehouses. Iconic Washington Park encompasses sites from the formal Japanese Garden to Oregon Zoo and its railway. The city hosts thriving art, theater and music scenes.
Downtown Portland is the heart of the city. To the immediate south of Downtown is the campus of Portland State University and South Waterfront, an urban revitalization area at the southern end of the streetcar line with newly built glass residential towers. Just to the north of Downtown is Old Town, which is where Portland was first settled and which has some historic buildings and is a nightlife center, but also contains a fair amount of social services for homeless and mentally ill. The neighborhood also holds the remnants of Chinatown.
Just to the northwest of Downtown is the Pearl District, a very hip and trendy neighborhood on the streetcar line which was not long ago derelict warehouses and empty industrial space. To the north of the Pearl, at the northern end of the streetcar line is the Northwest District, also known as Nob Hill and also on the trendy side and with a variety of retail shops, bars, and restaurants along with plenty of lovely Victorians and tree-lined streets. West of this is the West Hills, where the well-to-do of Portland have traditionally lived.
Hawthorne Blvd, which runs east-west across the river from Downtown. SE Division, parallel to and a mile south of Hawthorne Blvd. Located along Sandy Blvd northeast of downtown, Hollywood is a commercial district for the nearby neighborhoods and home to the Hollywood Theater. To the north of downtown between MLK Blvd and 30th Avenue, Alberta Street has much the same feel as Hawthorne Blvd; a counter-culture/bohemian community that's becoming popular with yuppies.

Dan Cohen Alchemy (2010)
June 24, 2010 - Meet Dan Cohen, one of the country's most prominent large-scale mural painter and fine art sculptor. Scenes and interviews from recent projects, including the recently completed mural of a wetland landscape mural on Wilhelm's Memorial Funeral Home in SE Portland.
From the Regional Arts & Culture Council website:
The Portland Memorial Mausoleum Mural was created as an expansion of the existing Great Blue Heron Mural on the lower west facing wall of the Mausoleum, also applied by ArtFX. The expanded mural covers eight surfaces totaling approximately 43,485 square feet, and is estimated to be the largest mural in the United States. Seen clearly from the OMSI Springwater Trail and I-5, the mural highlights the importance of the 160-acre Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge to the city of Portland's quality of life, the contribution of the wetland system as a critical element of the city's green infrastructure, and its contribution to maintaining biodiversity in the city and metropolitan area.

Portland Audubon is releasing a juvenile Bald Eagle on Wednesday, March 27, in Winlock, Wash.
In an isolated area of a farm in rural Washingon, a young bald eagle, perhaps two years old was found ... confused, disoriented and unable to fly. A call was put out to the Audubon Society for assistance in possibly saving the majestic bird. Lacey Campbell, the Wildlife Care Center's operations manager, was immediately dispatched from Portland. After an initial examination revealed no broken bones or other apparent bodily injuries, an in-depth investigation disclosed that the remains of a recenly euthanized horse had been left exposed on the property. The fledgling eagle, along with some its friends had feasted on the carrion and were being poisoned by the residual barbiturates used in the euthanizing. With a diagnosis made, proper treatment was instituted and within a few days the eagle was deemed ready to regain its freedom. Amid a crowd of rapt nature-lovers, video cameras rolling and ceremonial Indian drums beating, the patient' was dramatically released into the wild. After a few low level circles, it majestically soared ever higher in a graceful spiral until finally out of sight. Nature won this one.
