(Photo: Richard J Brown) B Jeff students steal Food Fair Jefferson High School students captured the spotlight at the Food Fair at the Coliseum this past week end. Students in Hom e Economics were invited by Zell Brothers to pre pare and serve food in serving pieces provided by Zells for their display at the annual event. A ll food used was donated and the students turned the plain, simple foods into a gourmet delight! The students prepared six entrees including sweet and sour turkey, cocktail meat balls, salmon loaf, 9 •< > is tuna quiche, deep dish pizza pie. and turkey fried rice. The students applied the skills learned in their foods classes to garnish and serve the food they prepared in a most attractive way. Pat Transue, Jefferson’s home economics teacher, spent three 18- hour days with her students as part o f the event. Jefferson presently offers five foods classes. Three are co-ed and are the beginning level courses. One is offered called H e ri tage Foods. This class is for students wishing to take a second or third year in the study o f foods. One class is also offered for limited English speaking students. There are many opportunities for students in the food world. Mrs. Transue is taking advantage o f every opportunity to give students the career awareness for the jobs avail able to them. Their experiences at the weekend's Food Fair was both fun and educational for the students and their energetic teachers. It was also tiring, "b u t well worth it ," commented Transue. Auction aids Reading Tree Grassroof News, N. W. — In a profession where men have tradi tionally held the spotlight, auctioneers, women are increasingly making their voices heard. Constance Redman is one such woman. “ An auctioneer is the middleman between property and the public. You might even say we are 'brokers.' Auctions occur when things happen to change people’s lives — like death, divorce or m oving.” M t. Redman says the re cession o f the '80s has slowed Redman Auction Company's busi ness because people are reluctant to cause changes in their livgs. The typical stereotype of an auc tioneer is standing on a platform quoting prices. But M t. Redman says there is more to it than that. " I like to connect with people in the audience. 1 establish eye contact and have developed the ability to know what items people are interested in. Some are harder to connect than others. They try to avoid eye contact because they believe if the auction eer isn't aware and they want an item they might get it for a lower price.” Ms. Redman has a well- developed voice and says when she warms up for an auction, it is like warming up to sing. Another stereotype deals with persons sitting in on an auction and through normal body movement acquiring items they aren't interested in buying. " I ’ve never sold any item to anyone who does not want it. I want to make people feel good about what they purchased. It is not worth it to us to do otherwise.” Ms. Redman feels good about what she and her husband Ken do. “ It is like performing to me. A part o f me is on stage connecting with people. I feel a real energy burst out when I'm on stage. 1 get a lot out of it.” She stated the male auctioneers have a deep respect for her. "They respect me for my guts." Redman Auction Company conducts two type o f auctions. The regular county auction with rabbits and cows and a benefit auction for non-profit organizations. CONSTANCE REDMAN O n Saturday, M ay 7, at 2 p.m . at St. Andrews Com m unity Center, Constance Redman will conduct an auction for the Reading Tree, an organization devoted to providing and improving reading skills for children and adults. Ms. Redman will auction o ff household items, antique furniture, paintings and dinners at Portland’s finest restau rants. Promoting involvement o f private businesses in creating employment opportunities is the charge to 21 Private Industry Council members appointed by M ayor Frank Ivancie in conjunction with C ity Commis sioner Margaret Strachan.

M ayor Frank Ivancie, who under the Job Training Partnership Act, appoints members to the council, further stated, " T h e fact that we have a well-trained work force is a very positive selling point I have emphasized in my efforts to bring new jobs and industry to Portland. I'm confident the members o f our new P IC , who are leaders from throughout our C ity, will strive to ensure we maintain this excellent position.” The City o f Portland's Private Industry Council has been appointed in accordance with the Job Training Partnership Act o f 1982 which re places C E T A .
