Forum explores Ttodwut JaMihf ScMfbook society values by Katherine H. Bogle Dr. Stanley L. Lucas, Portland, Oregon’ s second Black physician, established himself in his profession here in 1909, about seven years after Dr. J.A. Merriman opened his o f fices locally. Dr. Lucas came to serve as District Surgeon fo r the U nion P acific Railroad. Born in Jamaica, British West In dies, Dr. Lucas studied medicine in Great B rita in and Canada. In Canada he married Ethel Medley of M ontreal and they came to the United States in 1907. An interesting link with another early Portlander, W illiam D. Allen, was forged, as Mrs. W .D. Allen was the former L illia n Medley, a sister to Ethel Medley Lucas. The Medley Hotel o f the thirties derived its name from that family. Dr. Stanley Lucas (right) as he assumed the presiding of Atlantic City’s Board of Education, with him are board of school estimates representatives Si Lippman and Hugh Wathen. D r. and M rs. Lucas had two daughters, W ilm a and Enid who were born in Portland in 1913. Be tween 1917 and 1920 D r. Lucas moved his family to Jamaica where he served as District Medical Officer in Spanish Town. He again moved, this time to settle permanently in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In Atlantic City, Dr. Lucas prac ticed medicine as Assistant Heaith Officer for the City. He served as a vice president o f the local Board of Education, was a member o f the Atlantic County Medical Society, a Fellow o f the Am erican M edical Association. He was also a past President o f the New Jersey Medical Association. DR STANLEY L. LUCAS Phillips joins facilities board Robert Phillips was appointed by Mayor Neil Goldschmidt and con firm ed by C ity C ouncil to the Residential Care Facilities Board (RCF) to replace Richard Mundy, whose term expires A pril 9, 1980. The Residential Care Facilities Board was created by Ordinance No. 138937 passed by the Council Oc tober 9, effective November 9, 1974, amending Title 8 o f the City Code, Health and Sanitation, by adding C hapter 8.80, R esidential Care Facilities. The new ordinance created the RCF Licensing Board which consists o f nine members appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Coun cil, whose responsibility is to grant the Certificate o f Review or License to operate an RCF. Each member serves a three-year term. This Board works closely with A l Jamison, RCF coordinator, who is responsible to the City Commissioner for Public Safety, Commissioner Charles Jor dan. The RCF Licensing Board is responsible fo r review ing ap plications and deciding on the basis o f investigation whether to grant or deny a program license. The type of programs include group care fo r physically and mentally handicap- ped, alcohol and drug rehabilitation, com m unity corrections centers, group care for children and houses for varied transitional problems. Robert P h illip s who holds a masters degree in Social Work feels that both short-term and lons-term residential care contributes substan tially to restoring the individual to a sufficie n t degree o f norm alcy to allow him to function in his home, w ork, and social environment. In this way, longer term in stitutionalization is avoided, long term unemployment is averted and self-sufficiency is improved. He stated that " th e success or failure o f a RCF largely is deter mined by the extent o f its integration into the community. The residential character o f neighborhoods in which the RCF wishes to locate w ill probably play an important role in determining the licensing status o f a home.” Robert Phillips is a member o f a number o f civic organizations. They include membership on the State Health Divisions Board to Register C linical Social W orkers, and the Multnomah C ounty’ s Developmen tal Disabilities Coordinating Council just to name a few. He is also a can didate for the Metropolitan Services District Board.

There’s one reason your home electric bills are a lot higher than they should be: You are being denied access to federally generated hydropower ...th e cheapest power available in the Northwest. Pacific has been fighting to get a share of that cheap power for you through joint utility efforts and, most recently, through legal action in the courts. Now, leading members of Congress have recog nized that legislation will eliminate this rate problem. The “Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning Conservation and Renewable Resources Act” (S3418) is before Congress. If it passes, all resi dential customers—whether served by public or investor-owned utilities—will have the same access to low cost federal power. With passage of this bill, Pacific Power will immediately move to reduce home electric bills by 20%. The bill provides for additional reduc tions for five years until public and private power costs are equal. If you agree with this legislative proposal for more equitable distribution of federal hydropower, please write your congressman today. Or, clip this ad and send to him with your comments. Testimony of Pacific Power’s Board Chairman, Don Frisbee, before Congress detailing the company’s response to this legislation is available on request at your Pacific Power office.
