Milwaukie Storefront Continued from p. 3 suffered several setbacks. Portland became more accessible for jobs and shopping. Mcloughlin Boulevard cui off downtown from the river and U.S. 224 further isolated downtown (rom the fest of Milwaukie. And the construction of Clackamas Town Center, a shopping mall, drew business away from the core. Other problems, such as a 70% absentee ownership rate downtown and the influx of commuters with a "bedroom community" view of the city, make planning difficult, said Faulkner. If shoppers prefer to go elsewhere, jf new businesses don't want to locale in the downtown area, and the trend is toward suburbanization. then why Peter Paquet ContintJ@d from p. 8 other people, including his brother Paul. II could have been an interpersonal disaster, bUI he commented, "II brought my brother and I even closer together." Working with the rivers and fish of the orthwest has also brought Paquet closer to some of his family history. The Paquet name in Oregon goes back to Peter's great-great grandfather who came west from St. Louis in 1852 and seuled on a donation land claim along the banks of the Willamette River at Oregon City, later becoming an Indian agent east of the Cascades. His son, Peter's ~ r e a t grandfather, built some of the t ~ ! t f ~ ~ ~ t l ~ ~ ~ b ~ ~ : ~ O l r ; ~ ~ ~ ' a ~ d u 8 h l operated a fishwheel on the Columbia. Peter is forgiving of his great grandfather'S zeal to lame the Northwest. and even points out that the much-maligned fishwheel is now being reevaluated as a harvest method. Paquet's grandfather constructed Ihe first major highways up the Columbia River Gorge and through McKenzie Pass in the Cascades, but the pioneering stopped temporarily al the next generation when Paquet's father opted for a career in medicine. Oregon's land and native inhabitants again beckoned to the fifth generation. and Peter and Paul found themselves responding to a whole new set of environmental needs. Now Peter saves fish rather than harvesting them, discourages dams rather than constructing them. All that's left of the family'S Oregon City claim is a remnant of a lane called Paquet Street, caught between the bluffs and the railroad tracks. It is a r ~ m i n d e r to both Peter and Paul thai there is much to preserve in both the Paquet famity and the environment that has changed around II. 12 not let downtown Milwaukie diel "We're talking about a community with people Iiving in it. If the community wants to retain its traditional values, then we can't look at just economic factors," said Edner. Faulkner sees in Milwaukie a contingent of older people who don't want their city to be an appendage of Portland. and a new and growing group of younger families who came to Milwaukie because of its good schools. It is for these people, and for the merchants, and for the preservation of that intangible quality called "community" that the Milwaukie Storefront Project exists. Paul Paquet Continued from p. 9 naturally to stir controversy and evoke strong feelings from humans. For centuries, Indian tribes have revered the wolf and settlers have feared and hated it. "Very few people view them objectively; I doubt that I do," admitted Paquet. "The wolf just seems to bring that emotion forth." "In recent years the wolf has been viewed rather positively. With the wilderness diminishing and all the concern about the environment. the wolf seems to symbolize that. It has been a very popular animal as far as the press goes. But we're entering a ne...v era when once again Ihe wolf is being viewed as the villain." Paquet acknowledges a "historical conflict between wolves and humans, because they do compete for essentially Ihe same resources. II And as wolf populations recover, the competition will increase. the animosity will grow, and Paquet will find himself in the minority again. Bul he. and al least a few olher researchers and dog lovers. will find deep satisfaction in knowing "they're there."
