Redefining the term 'wallflower' The Times Thursday, June 27, 2019 Tigard mural will celebrate indigenous flora, fauna, peoples with the artist painting his creation from July 8 to 15 in Downtown Tigard. COURTESY CITY OF TIGARD-Here's a rendering of what the new mural on Main Street will look like. Work is set to begin on a public mural by artist Jeremy Nichols in downtown Tigard. The mural, titled "A Walk Tnrougn I ime,"will ne an interwoven tapestry of Tigard's history and culture along the Fanno Creek corridor. Working with local historian Sean Garvey and ecology specialists in the city, Nichols' design incorporates images from Tigard's past. The mural depicts a member of the Kalapuya tribe—the indigenous inhabitants of the area— alongside native flora and fauna, including red-tailed hawk, western painted turtle, great blue heron and Oregon iris and camas flowers. Nichols said he hopes that the mural will raise awareness about the original inhabitants of the Tigard area, as well as the local ecosystem. "It is important to me to create a mural that will stay relevant and be enjoyed by generations to come," he said. "I wanted to create a design that steps away from the norms of'traditional cultural' murals and create a design with a more contemporary approach that is equally informative and significant." Nichols, a Portland-based artist, has designed painted more than 100 murals in cities including Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Portland and Tokyo. The mural at 12553 S.W. Main St. will be directly adjacent to the Fanno Creek multi-use trail, and will be painted on the recently renovated building. This work joins previous arts initiatives led by the city of Tigard and non-profit Tigard Downtown Alliance to revitalize downtown Tigard. Dylan Dekay-Bemis, the Tigard's economic development coordinator, said the project will "increase access to art in Tigard, help improve walkability in downtown and draw attention to the great local businesses housed within the building where the mural will be located." Portland-based nonprofit Portland Street Art Alliance facilitated the commissioning of the work and will assist the city in managing the project. The mural is funded through the•city's Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper; projects that are designed to be inexpensive but impactful, and improve walkability, connectivity and health in Tigard. Watch the creation Artist Jeremy Nichols will be in action from July 8 to 15 in Downtown Tigard. Lake Oswego Review LO Council approves smart metering initiative Sam Stites Thursday,July 11,2019 46 percent of all the City's water meters are 15 years old, nearing their 20-year life span _ PMG PHOTO:SAM STITES-Assistant Public Works Director Rachel Sykes demonstrates a new water tap project at an event earlier this year. Sykes led the initiative to implement smart meters for the City's water P Y customers. DRINK LOCAL, DRINK lD TAPS+ The Lake Oswego City Council took another step toward completing its long list of goals for 2019 last week by voting unanimously to implement a new smart water meter program that will benefit both the City and its water customers. Smart meters, or advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), send information via secured radio frequency to data-collecting equipment placed throughout the city, which is then passed on to software that will allow customers to access their usage via a portal. Within this portal, customers will be able to set up alerts or notifications based on usage, leaks,tampering and other activity of their meter. There is no rate increase included with the AMI technology initiative. The City will install 11,700 new meters and antennas over the next three years. According to Sykes,AMI provides many benefits to the City,the top being the elimination of a$95,000 contract for manual meter reading services. Other benefits include consistent and transparent utility billing, efficiencies gained for City staff through the use of technology to boost productivity allowing the City to become more lean operationally, as well as making water conservation goals and efforts more informed by the AMI system, meaning that more effective solutions can be developed and implemented based on real data.

In year one,the City will install meters in the neighborhoods of Westlake and Mountain Park, moving clockwise around Oswego Lake over the course of the following two years. According to Sykes'report, 46 percent of all the meters in Lake Oswego are 15 years or older, of which their total expected life is 20 years. Councilors had only a few simple questions for Sykes and Water Superintendent Joel Kuhnke, such as battery life of the meters—20 years—and how much the City would save using this technology. According to Sykes, the cost of the project was carved out of the $4 million in savings the city is seeing form the LO-Tigard Water Partnership project coming in under budget.

Mori,Jul 01,2019 wS eek SIGN IN bile w SC U.S. World Business Tech&Science Culture Sports Health opinion Search NEWS Peacocks Euthanized for Pecking at Car, Outraging Oregon Residents: 'Humans Are Trash' 13v Jason Murdock On 6128119 at 9:47 AM EDT Two wild peacocks in Oregon known to local residents as Bert and Ernie were euthanized by wildlife officials last weekend, sparking anger online. The animals, which roamed freely in the River Terrace neighborhood in Tigard, were recently accused by some of the Oregon residents of causing damage to their property. But the birds were praised by others, who denied they were ever aggressive, KPTV(Fox12) reported. The local police department told KPTV two complaints about the birds had been made in the past 12 months. Officials with the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) claimed several efforts to relocate them had failed. A spokesperson for the agency said its staff members had contacted an animal shelter, rescue organization and a local zoo, but no-one could take the wild animals under their care. As a result, the spokesperson confirmed they had been captured and "humanely euthanized." Media representatives for the APHIS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On social media this week, commenters expressed shock and frustration about its decision. "Tigard Police has had a total of two whole calls to report aggressive peacocks roaming the neighborhood and all of a sudden people tryna put them down? Ugh. Humans are trash. We really don't deserve this precious earth that we keep destroying," one Twitter user fumed. Gy, A peacock makes a wheel in a farm in Rion-des-Landes, southwestern France on May 23, 2019. j GEORGES GOBET/AFP/Getty On Facebook, after being shared by community newspaper Tigard Life, users were shocked the zoo would not house the birds. "What's it to the city to have beautiful wildlife living their lives?And where will it stop?What other animals will they justify killing?," read one comment. Sharing the story to the platform, another Oregon resident, a co-founder of a Portland animal shelter, added: "Why does it seem like killing is always the first response in dealing with wildlife? So frustrating." A Facebook user, also of Portland, raged: "The USDA can stay the hell out of my neighborhood! Our neighborhood peacocks are annoyingly loud but they are characters!"
