St. Johns: Press Release- KOHLHOFF & WELCH

Theresa Kohlhoff writes "Mother Daughter Partnership Comes to North Portland

No one can think of another strictly mother daughter legal partnership in the state of Oregon. Now one has come to North Portland.

Theresa M. Kohlhoff and her daughter, Elizabeth E. Welch, attorneys at law, located their practice at 5828 North Lombard. Both attorneys are graduates of Lewis & Clark Law School, Portland. Both bring to the community considerable expertise. Theresa M. Kohlhoff has nearly 26 years of experience in almost every area of law - from domestic relations to real estate, lien foreclosure to probate. She has been in practice in Philomath-Corvallis, Wilsonville and Lake Oswego. Elizabeth E. Welch, newly sworn in, has spent most of her nearly nine years pre-attorney career in personal injury work. Fresh from studying for the Bar, she brings a mastery of Oregon law that is hard to replicate.

Open Letter: St. Johns Alcohol Impact Area

Erik Palmer writes "Dear Mayor Katz and Commissioners Francesconi, Leonard, Sten and Saltzman:

I am writing this message to you on behalf of the Friends of Cathedral Park neighborhood association. At our general membership meeting last Tuesday (Dec. 14, 2004), FOCP's attending members voted unanimously to express our continued support for the hard work that John Farra and other members of the St. Johns Neighborhood Association have undertaken in their efforts to reduce street drinking in St. Johns. Recognizing the negative impact of street drinking on both the economic vitality of the St. Johns town center, and on the livability of surrounding residential areas, we call on the city and the OLCC to deploy an Alcohol Impact Area in St. Johns, as recommended by the Portland Police Bureau and Distict Attorney's office."
