(P h o to: Sh|r|. y A T w ,a a , Pedalling her way to success by Nathaniel Scott W ith the help o f some friends, a ten-speed bicycle, a home-made trailer, a money changer, two me dium size picnic coolers and a $25 vendor’s license, Sandy Maloney be comes one o f Portland's latest busi ness attractions— Sandy’s Supreme Ice Cream. M s. M alo n e y, a college student aqd instructor o f swimming and be ginners exercise at the dow ntow n Y W C A , will soon become a familiar sight to those around Portland State U n iversity, the Lloyd C enter and W aterfro n t Park as she pedals her bicycle, rings her bells and hawks her wares. As an extra added treat for those long, hot summer days, all o f Sandy’s Supreme Ice Creams— cho colate fudgsicles, orange creamsi- cles, popsicles in a variety o f flavors and vanilla ice cream sandwiches— will be 50 cents each. She said (hat she started her ice cream vending business because when she was a kid she always liked the people who went through the neighborhoods pedalling their bikes and selling ice cream . A nd also, “ because Portland needs something like (his. I d o n ’ t remem ber seeing any ice cream vendors lately who were on bikes.” Pedaling her bicycle five or ten miles d aily w o n ’t prove too stren uous, she said. “ During the summer months bicycling is my prim ary mode o f transportation. Besides,” she added, “ you don’t have to wor ry about parking.” She is also into gardening— green peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and on ions as well as one variety o f grapes. “ Last year I dehydrated more than enough vegetables from my garden to last me through the w inter,” she said. She added that she will be de hydrating her vegetables again this year. Ms. Maloney hopes that this, her first business venture, will prove to be a profitable one. And equally so, she hopes to meet many new people, gain regular customers, and, i f all goes well, " I intend to get a couple o f more bikes and make Sandy’s Su preme Ice Cream a fu ll-tim e busi ness.” New bodywear.

Smith U nlike any summer, the summer o f '82 w ill be the first o f its kind. The economy is in a recession, there are very few jo b s, cuts in federal benefits, and whites and blacks are out o f w o rk. W hat sort o f impact w ill this have on black youth in terms o f summer em ploym ent? M ore im p o rta n tly , what is the Mayor o f Portland doing to address this problem? T o begin, the M a y o r has a program entitled Summer Em ploy ment for Teens. This program will extend over an 8-week perio d, for half-tim e em ploym ent. Youth will work in the areas o f Public Parks, Landscaping, Public W o rks, and Public Agencies. As o f now, youth can only work 160 hours but an ad ditional KM) hours might be added. Press Secretary to the M ayor, Ted Johnson, gave information on addi tional programs for the summer but these jobs take place in Washington and Clackam as Counties. C E T A w ill also provide jobs for the summer but there are eligibility re quirem ents. Youth who apply for C E T A jobs must prove that their parents* or guardians* income falls below the 70 per cent o f the lower income status. Ted Johnson says because o f the lack o f funds the county is doing the best it can to provide jobs. Also, the City is pleased that they are able to offer any jobs at all. Johnson said the Mayor has taken two trips overseas to explore the possibility o f foreign industry in the City. However, there is nothing def inite. only positive signs. Also, the M ayor is trying to encourage econo mic diversification, in the hope that new industry will bring business and jobs into the city. The M ayor foresees no change in the im m ediate fu tu re in terms o f jobs. H o w ever, Johnson says the M ayo r has seen an increase in vol unteerism. He also added that vol unteerism may help people to get a job quicker and be useful in writing resumes. W ith the summer fast approach ing it is clear that the only program the Mayor has that will be o f benefit to teens is his summer program . Even so, jobs arc limited and youth are restricted in the num ber o f hours they work.
