The Portland area found itself in the national spotlight this week for a not particularly flattering reason: Repeated arson attacks on ballot boxes. We’ll be going over what we know about those attacks, but first we’re going to take a close look at the many races this year for a spot in Portland City Hall. A massive governance shift approved by voters two years ago has upended how campaigning for city council and mayor works – with some pretty interesting results. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.

Portland City Hall is on the verge of some truly monumental changes, ranging from the radical transformation of how the city's government operates to an historic election in November that will usher in a new mayor and expanded 12-member City Council. The work to get here has now been years in the making. Few have followed the twists and turns of this civic saga as closely as Maja Viklands Harris. A longtime journalist and local government watcher, Harris is the founder of Rose City Reform, a nonprofit, nonpartisan news and research site that's become a must-read for reporters, political insiders and many of the people seeking local elected office this fall.

This morning, Portland City Hall is issuing a proclamation for a Vanport Day of Remembrance as part of the Vanport Mosaic Festival. Situated between Portland and Vancouver, Vanport was the largest federal housing project and the second-largest city in Oregon during World War II. It was also home to a thriving multiracial community. But 76 years ago, Vanport was destroyed in a catastrophic flood, and never rebuilt. So today on City Cast Portland we're looking at this nearly forgotten chapter of Portland history and the way it shaped the Portland of today. Talking with us is LaVeta Gilmore Jones, a co-director of the festival and a descendant of Vanport, she's sharing how the Vanport Mosaic Festival is working to keep those memories alive.

In December, Portland leaders announced that the city's clean energy fund is expected to raise an unanticipated $540 million over the next five years. This staggering surplus comes at a time when city agencies are facing major budget shortfalls. Commissioner Carmen Rubio, who oversees the fund, has proposed funneling half of the excess money to cash-strapped bureaus to help pay for a wide plethora of climate-related projects. They include walking and bicycle routes, LED street lighting, electric vehicle charging infrastructure for the city's fleet, electric-powered leaf blowers to replace city-owned gas-powered ones and tree planting and natural areas restoration, among others. The other half of the excess revenue would go towards creating energy efficient affordable housing, maintaining trees across Portland and subsidizing a new “climate resilient” Keller Auditorium and new infrastructure for the city's Fire Bureau. Shane Dixon Kavanaugh, Portland City Hall reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive, talked about the surplus, Rubio's spending proposal and how the fund has continued to evolve ever since it was approved by voters via ballot measure in 2018.

This week on "State of Wonder," we get live music from Helio Sequence and Kelli Schaefer, travel the country with photographer Holly Andres, look at the design of prosthetic limbs, and harness the powers of karaoke to learn a language. Karaoke Has A New Role: Teaching Tool - 1:33What’s the best way to learn a language? Some people might take a class or read a book, but our vote goes towards music, which is exactly what Salish teachers are using to introduce their Native American language to new speakers. Every year, a conference that celebrates Salish, a language spoken by many tribes across the Northwest, culminates in an annual Karaoke Contest in Spokane, WA. Contestants have to translate a song and perform it in front of judges. Our correspondent Emily Schwing was backstage at the contest this year.Museums Are Displaying Native Artifacts To Tell A More Complete Story - 6:01Language isn’t the only facet of Northwest indigenous culture that’s getting focused attention right now. The region’s museum curators are working to update their exhibits in a way that both modernizes stories of indigenous people and tells them more truthfully. But what does that mean? Emily Schwing visited two Northwest museums to find out.Photographer Holly Andres - 10:24The photo exhibition "Dreamers of Oregon" features big, dramatic black and white portraits of young men and women whose lives are really, really complicated right now. It went on view this week and is making the rounds in Washington and Multnomah Counties — starting at Pacific University, moving to Portland City Hall and other spots.The photographer of this exhibit, Holly Andres, describes herself as more of a farmer than a hunter: rather than capturing moments of serendipity, like a hunter would, Andres creates them. She builds a set, casts characters, and styles the lighting around her subjects, using as much intention and direction as a filmmaker might. What results is an emotional story richly saturated with color and ornamental backdrops. Her work’s been gaining momentum for years. She was shortlisted for a big industry award, the Ellie for Best Feature Photography, for an incredible spread that appeared in "New York" magazine.Opbmusic Turns 10: A Look Back At Sessions With Helio Sequence [21:42] & Kelli Schaefer [29:05]If you’re a regular State of Wonder listener, you know we partner up all the time with our friends at opbmusic. For 10 years now, they’ve been spotlighting the best in local and national bands, often bringing groups in for a studio session just before they break big nationally. Everyone from Big Thief and Jay Som to, most recently, Haley Heynderickxx.To celebrate their 10th birthday, they’re organizing a concert at the Crystal Ballroom on March 23 with a couple of their favorites: Helio Sequence, Kelli Schaefer, and Natasha Kmeto. To prep you for the big show, we decided to spend a few minutes listening back to those sessions. Tickets for the show are on sale now. Fixing the Arts Tax - 36:34Collection rates the city’s Arts Education and Access Fund, better known as the Arts Tax, haven’t been great since the tax’s inception in 2012, in large part because the terms voters agreed to have required the Revenue Bureau to spend no more than 5 percent of gross collections over a five-year period. Now Portland City Council has removed that collection cap, although it will revisit collections costs every year. The revisions also expand some exemptions for the tax. The arts tax is due this year on April 17.The Design Element of Prosthetics - 38:13When designers talk about designing for humans, most often we think about things that will add a little to your life: a shoe that will make you run faster, a mobile app that will make your website easier to navigate. But some design can truly transform the human experience, and nowhere is that more apparent than at a new exhibit called “Bespoke Bodies: The Design And Craft Of Prosthetics.” It’s curated by the Design Museum Portland at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and it looks at prosthetics not simply as a medical issue, but as a design challenge.

Seemel mainly paints portraits. When she paints a portrait, she takes photographs, for an hour, of the sitter before painting them. The sitter is asked to talk about themselves during the photography session. Seemel creates the painting from the photographs. The paintings consist of "geometric patterns and layers of color." Seemel cites printmaking as an inspiration for her painting technique. Seemel painted a portrait of Randy Leonard in 2009, which was displayed in the Portland City Hall. Campaign money was used to buy the painting. Her 2009 exhibition, "Apple Pie," featured portraits of Superman, Susan B. Anthony and Elvis Presley. In 2010, Seemel partnered with artist Becca Bernstein to create their version of portraits of ten subjects. Subjects included family members and the artists themselves. A 2012 exhibition called "Crime Against Nature," includes paintings of animals that don't fit into the gender binary such as dolphins and squirrels. Seemel releases her work under a free license, and encourages the remixing, use, and sharing of her work. I enjoyed talking to Gween. She is a true artist who has used the power of video content to promote her work better than anyone I know. The link to her Vimeo page can be found here: https://vimeo.com/gwennseemel

Mac offers insights from his conversations with jobseekers, Simon offers personal stories of finding work in a foreign land, and Amy shares stories of change makers starting their own enterprises. You’ll learn tips and advice on how to send your career on a path towards purpose. This conversation carries on the conversation from the popular ‘Career Pathways to Doing Good in Oregon’ events,  held quarterly at HatchLab in Portland, Oregon.   Provocateurs Amy Pearl, Hatch Innovation Simon Love, Hatch Innovation   Guest Mac Prichard, President, Pritchard Communications Mac Prichard owns and operates Prichard Communications, a public relations agency based in Portland, Oregon that works with top-tier foundations, non-profits and purpose driven brands across the country. He is also the publisher of Mac's List, an online community where professionals find rewarding, interesting jobs and employers find the best possible candidates. Previously, Mac was communications director for Reclaiming Futures, a national initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that improves drug and alcohol treatment for teens in juvenile court.

What a ‘Dream Job’ means - people want to make a difference in the world but they also want to find satisfaction and happiness. How Mac’s List grew through word of mouth, and where it extends now. How people are not taught at school how to look for jobs, or to set job-related goals. Why do people work? How generational differences and the blurring of work-life boundaries affect how work is seen. Why jobseekers say they want one type of job but take something else . How you can make opportunities happen by being generous to others and thinking about how you can help others in your industry. How sometimes you won’t end up doing what you thought you’d be doing, but you can take charge of the role you’re in and make a difference there.   How individuals can make enormous difference through starting their own social enterprise. The challenges of being an entrepreneur - ‘pushing the noodle up the hill’ and the challenges associated with it. How careers are not a 45 degree trajectory - there will be peaks and valleys. How good things happen when you make your goals known to others.
