Page « Portland Observer Thursday. January 10, 1974 Union Avenue steering committee forms During the past 4V> to 5 years, considerable attention has been focused on physical improvement and «redevelop ment in the Model Cities area. The focus of the majority of this activity has been for residential rehabili tation and new development. Virtually no improvements have taken place' in the Union Avenue Corridor, yet Union Avenue is in many ways the focal point of the community. With the Mayor's endorse ment in October of 1972. there began a concerted ef fort to initiate a redevelop ment program for Union Avenue and to gain the necessary support for such a program to succeed. In February of 1973. the Model C ities C itizens' Planning Board approved the concept of a redevelopment program for Union Avenue and al located $50,000 to initiate such a program. However, at the same time they placed certain conditions on the release garnered from other agen cies and in terested parties that would be in volved in such a project. That commitment had to match the dollar contribution that Model Cities was willing to make. Over the summer, a de tailed work program was de veloped and comm itm ents were received from the Port and Economic Development Committee for $15.000; from the Portland Planning Bureau for staff contribution of $8,000; from the Portland Development Commission for a staff contribution of $8.000; from the Bureau of Human Resources for a staff contri bution of $2.500 to $5.000. In October of 1973, Model Cities gave final approval to the program and approved the release of the funds, contingent on the inclusion of minority em ploym ent and training in the project. On November 1, the Portland City Council approved the program and established the project and the staff to carry it out. The project team is now at work on the far ranging planning phase. This effort includes planning for physi cal. economic and social im provement« in the Corridor, i.e., highway and transit facilities, adjacent property redevelopm ent, manpower and job training programs, programs for community financial participation, new business opportunity for area residents, and facilities for social service outlets. This first phase will last for seven months and if successful, the project will go on for several years. The Steering Committee is nearly formed, and the eco nomic consultant is being selected. Ixx-al community business interests have been organized into an association and will participate in the planning of the project. A structure for Citizens' Participation has been de signed with a great emphasis on participation through ex istin g neighborhood or ganizations and Model Cities Working Committees. The Steering Committee will work closely with the planning team. The Steering Committee will be composed of authoritative représenta tives of major participants in the project. The Steering Committee will have the further responsibility of establishing policy, review and approval of aspects of the planning program, formal comm unications with the Model Cities Planning Board.

Basically the proposed AMA Prexy speaks by Reverend John Jackson and Bishop J.C. Foster Several weeks ago on a TV interview on Channel 6. 1 was questioned by the an nouncer concerning the fu ture of the Albina Ministerial Alliance in 1974. Among the questions was the thrust and significance of the Black church in the Albina com munity and the integrated church in the Albina com munity and possibilities of their working together in 1974. I stated that the social and civil rights dimension of the Black church was so in digenous to the nature of the church that it would always remain a priority. However, the thrust of civil rights has always been blown back and forth by the winds of change. Our new director. Rozell Gil more. was attempting to work within the church and do a leadership training and educational program to bring within the thinking of the Steering Committee will be composed of reprsentatives of the Model Cities Planning Board.

Jan uary 15. at 6:30 p.m. Super Sid, along with Petrie, were the only two players selected from the same team. Other players selected to the West squad include Gail Goodrich. Jerry West. Rick Barry. Chet (the Jet) Walker, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Bob Lanier. Four more players from the west will be selected later, bringing the team total to twelve. Jerry West has declined the nomi nation because of injuries, and Charlie Scott has been chosen to replace him. Super Sidney was out to prove a point Sunday night, January 6. against the Golden State Warriors here in the Coliseum. Rick Barry, star forward for the Warriors, received more votes in the All Star selections than Sid ney, so Sidney was out to church its timely place in the "Now" generation. Ministers and leaders in the Black church needed to interpret to themselves and to their con stituents the functional re sponsibilities to the com munity. Therefore, our civil rights thrust, rather than being from the street demon stration, would be from church dem onstrations in church, aided by updated in formation. This would in no way diminish our our civil rights thrust, but would merely be attempting to gain new con verts as we move within the church to enlarge the church's new civil rights thrust. We'd do this by getting behind and endorsing help to returning war veterans and youth who are drug addicts and at tempting to rehabilitate those coming out of prison and making them conscious of the responsibility in these phases of our everyday relationship with present evils of our community.

A t a court hearing, he explained that he had been waiting to take his younger sister home from a class party. The judge decided this came under the heading of legitimate business, and tossed the case out o f court. Furthermore, an anti-loitering law must not exceed constitutional limits. In another case, an ordi nance forbade loitering within 250 feet of any school— with no ex ceptions. But this law, when challenged in court, was held to be unconsti tutional. The court thought it was unfair to punish someone simply for relaxing in the vicinity of a school. Lawmakers had no au thority, said the court, “to de nounce mere inaction as a crime,” adding: •'The majority o f mankind spend a goodly part of their wak ing hours in idling the time away.

One day he was picked up by police on a charge of "loitering on school grounds." To Eddie, this was foul play. A fter all. wasn't the schoolyard a public place— free for all? But the court found him guilty as charged. As one judge put it: “Public school premises are not free to any and everyone, like a public street or public park. Pub lic school premises are dedicated to the use of persons eligible to attend the schools, their officers, teachers, and employees." A number o f communities, leery o f tro u b le m ak ers, have passed special anti-loitering laws placing schoolyards off limits to those having no legitimate busi ness there And most courts have upheld the validity of these laws 1 D R .
