prized-filled golden egg for one lucky hunter in
each age group," according to Susan Danielski of
the Care Center. "And don’t miss our petting zoo
and a visit from the Easter Bunny himself."

Our fight goes on to keep our open
reservoirs

controversy by MTNA board member Paul
Leistner. Find more info on the
News page.
MTNA Land-use chair Stephanie Stewart urged the City to drop plans for building a
costly filtration plant to treat Bull Run
water, while continuing to pursue
legislative relief from the EPA rule. Click

to see her letter. At its July 29 meeting,
the Portland City Council agreed to drop
plans for a "direct" filtration plant in
favor a less costly -- and less invasive --
ultraviolet treatment facility. That would
ease the burden on Portland water rate
payers but leave unclear the ultimate fate
of the city's five open reservoirs.

The MTNA Neighborhood Cleanup,
blessed by beautiful weather May 9, was
a great success. MTNA volunteers
unloaded 229 vehicles and filled nine giant drop
boxes with a variety of debris, said
event Coordinator Deb Scott "Most
of the material was bulky waste, old
lumber, some building material,
household junk and some appliances," she
said. More
than 40 volunteers helped, many staying
for the 4 1/2 hour duration of the
cleanup, MTNA's principle fund-raiser.
Useable items were
set aside in a special area at the Mt.
Tabor Middle School, where the cleanup
was held, for sale to bargain hunters. |
