Hampton resigned from the bureau and were
convicted of criminal charges.
“This is a painful time for all of us, but all cit
izens have a right to expect the men and women
of the Portland Police Bureau to provide service
with dignity, respect and, most importantly,
integrity,” Kroeker said. “ It is now time to move
forward, and I am hopeful we can restore any
mist lost in this difficult situation.”

ollowing the January departure of program
director Kristan Aspen, the Lesbian C om
munity Project has hired a new office manager,
Jamie Bolyard.
Bom in Ramsey, 111.; schixded at Southern
Illinois University— Carbondale, where she
earned a bachelors degree in radio-television;
and out and about for seven years in Tennessee’s
music industry, Bolyard started in country music
promotions, played host to a music night, began
her own company and published a music maga
zine. After spending too much time enhancing
and promoting other people’s creative talents, she
was selected to enhance her own in India as part
of a group study exchange for young professionals.
“This is where it all clicked for m e...I real
ized that I had a responsibility as a gay person to
be out,” she says. “I realized that if I wasn’t com
pletely out in my life, then I was saying that
racism and every other type of oppression is OK.
Until that point I had been living with one foot
in the closet...I decided that I wanted to work
for social change.”
Bolyard knew immediately upon visiting
Portland that it was the place to start that work.
After a cross-country move, an LCP Deaf C ul
ture Night, a sign language class and a music
and art show (co-produced by Bolyard and
Aspen) that benefited both a local gallery and
LCP, the torch was passed from one great leader
to another.
Grxxl events lead to fund raising, fund rais
ing leads to growth, and though LCP events
tend to speak for themselves, Bolyard assures: “ I
want LCP to be relevant to all women who love
women. I want women to feel like LCP is their
organization, feel comfortable stopping by the
office, call up with an idea they’d like to see us
do, know that we represent them, we are them.
LCP has a long history, and I believe it can have
a longer future.”
Bolyard shares her success with classical
F
pianist and piano teacher Abby HaywcxxJ and
their cats, Wasabi and Raleigb.

I nterview S ubjects
A
my M. Rees, assistant professor of counseling
psychology at Lewis & Clark College’s Grad
uate Schtxd of Education, is developing a research
grant proposal to conduct a project in September
or October designed ultimately to help decrease
prejudice against the sexual minorities community.
She needs to find about 50 people willing to
help by agreeing to an interview and possibly
posting a portion of the interview (with face
blacked out and no sound) to the Internet. They
would be paid about $10.
The grant is through the Evelyn Hooker
Award Program, which is named after “the
woman who did the first study in the ’60s that
demonstrated we aren’t crazy,” Rees said. “If we
can demonstrate support in the community, it
makes it more likely to get the grant.”
For more information call 503-768-6074 or e-mail
arees@lclark.edu.
When you buy or sell a home with me, you'll know your dollars
are helping support a greater cause. I contribute at least 10% of
my earnings to community and environmental organizations.
