WIC targets women,children
G R A S S R O O T S N E W S N .W . —
W ith the influx o f monies generated
by the 1983 “ Jobs B ill," the
W om en, Infants and Children’s
supplemental food program (W IC )
is launching an outreach to ensure
that pregnant women, breastfeeding
women and young children o f met
ropolitan Portland are aware o f the
benefits made available to them
under the W IC program.
Jean Lynch, Nursing Coordinator
for the Sabin Clinic, says the
premise o f W IC is to aid in the pre
vention
of
medical
problems
through the am plification o f nutri
tion. " W e screen our clients for
medical problems by looking at
their medical history. We also look
at their dietary patterns and if they
are low in some areas we counsel
them to dietary adequacy."
Counseling also includes dispatch
ing a Com m unity Health Nurse. “ A
C H N w ill look at the four basic
food groups and w ill assess whether
they are above or below adequacy."
Incorporated in this assessment is
a cultural sensitivity because many
o f their clients represent various na
tionalities and cultures and many
are operating on a lim ited budget.
" I f you look at any diet, black
American or Southeast Asian, they
have within them areas o f the four
food groups — m ilk, meat, grain
and fruit and vegetable. W e do not
try to change their diet, but we do
try to compromise the two. O ur
main goal is to create adequate nu
tritio n ." Lynch says that for many
o f the ethnic groups in the area,
Vietnamese or Ethiopian, an inter
preter is required. “ W e have some
who bring in their ow n.*'
Although children up to five years
are eligible for W IC , the focus o f
this renewed outreach is pregnant
and breastfeeding women. " In
order to have good viviblc'oabies we
are focusing on these two groups.
There is a great correlation between
the nutrition o f the mother and the
health of the baby. This takes care
o f any anomalies (abnormalities)
that could occur. W e also find out if
they are smoking or engaging in
social drugs like marijuana, ciga
rettes or alcohol. I'm not implying
that our clients are highly involved
in social drugs, but i f we do find it
we give them the rationale against
it."
W IC provides participants with
monthly food vouchers o f a maxi
mum dollar value o f 530.00 for in
fant cereal, juice and form ula, iron
fortified cereal, pastuerized m ilk,
domestic cheese and unsweetened
juices.
Jean Lynch stresses, " I f there are
any pregnant women or families
with children under five who are in
nutritional need, we are located at
3601 N .E . 15th at the Sabin Health
Clinic. Just call us at 248-5055 and
we can arrange to screen you right
aw ay.”
The nation’s first Single Room
Only (SRO ) Hotel to be occupied by
people participating in the H U D
Section 8 rental assistance program,
the Butte Hotel, opens August 1.
Elderly and handicapped residents
need not pay more than 30*» o f
their income under the program.
The
Burnside
Consortium
brought together financing from
four different sources to renovate
the hotel. According to Dellanne
McGregor o f the Consortium, the
National Trust for Historic Preser
vation, the Nemer Investment C o m
pany, the Portland Development
Commission and the Collins Foun
dation each provided assistance.
The Butte Hotel renovation is
only the most recent effort o f the
Burnside Consortium to retain qual
ity housing in the area without dis
placing
community
residents.
M cCregor said that many residents
have been forced out o f the area as
residential buildings are either up
graded or converted to other uses
over the past 10 to 15 years. Many
"economic
development"
and
"urban renewal" projects have pro
duced this effect throughout Port
land and other m ajor American
cities.
W hile M cCregor noted that other
areas o f the city have buildings simi
lar to the Butte H otel, (retail on the
ground floor and housing above),
she said that O ld Tow n benefits
from being designated a Historic
District. Specifically, Historic Dis
tricts are zoned for maximum build
ing heights o f four stories; proper
ties are eligible for a tax assessment
freeze; and owners are eligible for
preservation tax credits.
One source o f the rehabilitation
financing is available to projects
throughout the city, however. Inves
tor Rehabilitation Loans from the
Portland Development Commis
sion, for instance, also recently
helped make possible the Union
Square mini-m all development to
open in August.
The Burnside Consortium now
owns 300 housing units and main
tains over 600 others as a non-profit
corporation.

Government continues war against Indians
Three Native Americans have
been sentenced to five years in prison
for "poaching" salmon on the
Colum bia River. David Sohappy
and his son, David, Jr., o f Cooks
Landing, Washington, and Bruce
Jim o f W arm Springs, were among
19 people charged with illegally
catching and selling salmon follow-
ing a two-year undercover investiga
tion. The Indians claim their right to
the salmon under treaties with the
United States.
Illegal Indian fishing was blamed
for "m issing" salmon that did not
show in the fish count at the dams.
On June 9, 1982, the National
Advisory boards need citizens
Citizen’s Budget Advisory Com
mittees for 14 Portland City bureaus
are being recruited for next fiscal
year. The Budget Advisory Com
mittees are assigned to specific
bureaus to review and make recom
mendations on their proposed bud
gets and policies. Recruitment is co
ordinated through the O ffice o f
Neighborhood Associations. A p
pointments are made by the Com-
missioner-in-Charge o f the bureaus.
Positions are available on the fol
lowing committees: Bureau of Build
ings, Bureau o f Computer Services,
Bureau o f Fire, Bureau o f Fleet
Management, O ffice o f Housing A
Com m unity Development, Bureau
o f Hum an Resources, Bureau of
Licenses. O ffice o f Neighborhood
Associations, Bureau o f Parks,
Bureau o f
Personnel Services,
Bureau o f Planning, Bureau o f
Police, and Department o f Public
Works: Transportation and Sanita-
tion A Solid Waste.
Applications will be accepted until
July 25, 1983, and are available to
interested C ity residents by calling
the O ffice o f Neighborhood Associ
ations at 248-4519.
Manne Fisheries Science/Commerce
Department claimed that the arrest
o f 35 Indian fishermen would end
the depletion o f the fish and "th e
extent o f illegal fishing revealed by
the investigation verifies the posi
tion o f law enforcement officials
that illegal fishing has been a major
factor in the loss o f adult salmon
from the Colum bia R iver."
Tw o days after the verdict a
N M F S study showing that the fish
were not "missing" but had changed
their spawning habits was made
public. It now appears that the
Commerce and Justice Departments
proceeded to prosecute the Indians
even after they knew they were not
responsible for the emergency on
the river.
Federal Judge Jack Tanner sen
tenced the three men to five years in
prison, followed by five years pro
bation, even though this was their
first conviction. Tanner ruled in
pretrial against over 100 defense
motions and refused to allow a
treaty defense. He also ruled that
the Lacey Act — which supercedes
treaties in regulating fish and w ild
life — is constitutional.
Over 30 cases remain to be tried in
Oregon and Washington. Trials are
expected to take place in August.
A t stake is the Indians' right to
fish according to treaty and interna
tional law and the sovereignty o f the
tribes.
