Pamplin Media Group - OUR OPINION: City, Metro, counties and THPRD: It's time to save Alpenrose

Pamplin Media Group
Portland s iconic sports and entertainment site, including its velodrome and baseball fields, cannot disappear.
Alpenrose Dairy has been a popular Portland venue for athletes and families for generations. Now it s likely to disappear for good, and any combination of local governments along with some suggested private companies should step in to save the site.
As reported by journalists Nick Budnick, Paul Danzer and Alvaro Fontan in the April 21 Tribune, a bitter intra-family struggle broke out publicly and in the courts over the future of Alpenrose Dairy, the popular 52-acre site west of Shattuck Road near the Beaverton border and just north of the Hillsdale/Multnomah Village area. It wasn t just a dairy. It was a Christmastime car-ride tradition for families, a haven for serious bicyclists, a regular haunt for ESPN camera crews and national Little League tournaments, and more. For generations of metro-area families, Alpenrose was woven i ....

Pamplin Media Group - Opinion: Lawmakers can't take a shortcut to better eye health

Dr. Robert Bentley is a Portland ophthalmologist with more than 30 years of experience.
As a physician and practicing ophthalmological eye surgeon with more than 33 years of clinical experience, I ll be among the first to tell you how important a different profession, that of optometry, is for overall eye health care. Optometrists perform valuable services, including routine eye exams and prescriptions for eyeglasses and contacts.
But optometrists are not medical doctors; they are not physicians. They do not have years of medical school education and post-med school residency or surgical training. Nor do optometrists have the direct clinical experience that helps ophthalmologists like me manage and avoid difficult, or even life-threatening, patient safety situations. ....

Pamplin Media Group - Opinion: It's time to plan Portland's Pandemic Independence party

April 02 2021
Eric Fruits, Ph.D. is vice president of Research at Cascade Policy Institute and an adjunct professor at Portland State University, where he teaches courses in urban economics and regulation.
We re in the waning days of the pandemic, and it s time to take action to return to normal. About one-quarter of the state s population has been vaccinated or received a first dose.
If the state keeps the current rate of vaccination, we should achieve herd immunity by early July. This also coincides with Independence Day, as well as some of Oregon s best weather. Let s make the Fourth of July the day Oregon celebrates our independence from the pandemic a summer of street fairs, block parties, dining out, and get-togethers. That gives us a little more than three months to get ready. And like any big celebration, there s a lot to do. ....
