Portland Observer Volume XIII, Number 37 June 29, 1983 LIKING SECTION Section II Man-sharing: Dilemma or choice? as the magic number in relationships with men. "M o st don't last past three m onths," she said because men think if they hang around much longer than that it might lead to marriage. Linda (not her real name), 36, separated with three children, said that her last relationship with a man was "the shortest one I've ever had by Judith S. A ndrews Carl Adela 1» illuatrator for "Teetefully Youra. ..A Cookbook That Remembere." (Photo: Richard J. Brown) Cookbook benefits MS Society by Nathaniel Scott The Multiple Sclerosis (M S) Society o f Portland’s cookbook, "T as tefu l ly Y o u r s ...A Cookbook That Re members,” represents one way the society sought " to raise funds, since we were dropped from United W ay funding," said board member, Rose Steffan. The United W ay funds were stopped in 1981. “ Tastefully Y o u r s ... A C o o k book That Remembers," is 96 pages o f "recipes which are low in saturat ed fats (approximately 80 percent o f the collection).” The cookbook has illustration* of nine Portland historical landmarks, done by artist and M S victim, Carl Adels. Beginning with a cover design o f the 1914 Pittock Mansion, Adels artistic flair captures the im a gination with such historical land marks as the 1911 Journal Building; the 1886 First Presbyterian Church; the 1913 M ultnom ah County L i brary; the 1909 Meier & Frank Building; the 1892 First Congrega tional Church; the 1905 Forestry Center, which was a part o f the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition and burned on August 17, 1964; the 1890 Union Station; and, the 1891 Washington Park Fountain. An M S victim since 1978, Adels looks upon hi* artistic contributions as a way to repay a debt. "They did me a fav o r,” he said. " I thought I would do them a fa v o r." Adel* makes reference to when he was in need o f a wheelchair and the M S Society o f Portland came to his aid. "T h e re are a lot o f people here with M S. It makes me feel better to know that I can help. It makes me feel good.” Steffan, an M S victim for the past 40 years, also feels better when she is lending a helping hand. Assisted by Adels and music coordinator E li zabeth Schafer, Steffan is coordi nating "Jazziz, a jazz festival that will be held Saturday, August 27, from 10 a.m . until 7 p.m . at Delta P a rk .” A host o f local jazz musi cians w ill perform , and selections from an “ excellent” jazz collection will be played. Admission is free and portions of the net proceed* will go to the M S Society o f Portland, she said. The Sunset Jaycecs of Beaverton will set up a beer tent, in addition to the services of the North west Emergency Dispatch — " v o l unteers who monitor emergency channel 9 on CB radio " — a crime prevention van, finger printing serv ices for children, food, arts and craft* booths and a host of otljgr services including a first aid booth and crowd control by the Guardian Angels. In addition, Steffan said, Adels will be on hand to autograph the cookbook. Since its initial publication o f 500 books in January o f this year, the cookbook has nearly exhausted its firt run and an additional 500 copies will be printed after the board meets in July, Steffan said. The book sells for $6.95, plus SI for mailing and handling charges. Copies o f the book can be ordered at the society’s location, 2950 SE Belmont Street, or by phoning 238-0162. Protect pets during July 4 C olorful fireworks and the explo sive sounds o f firecrackers are tradi tional parts o f Fourth o f July cele brations. Tragically, however, they are often the cause o f suffering and death for the pets around us. M u lt nomah County Anim al Control urges everyone, pet owner and non- pet owner alike, to be extra careful during this holiday season. " F o r many pets, a sharp explo sion o f sound means instant panic. The sound-shy pet may run and hide, shaking with fear, or it may just run blindly until it drops from exhaustion. It doesn’ t know where it is or where it is going; only that it is trying to escape the terror of the MONDAY ,o ; T E A W M f i x 0 9 .SIC A lp h a b e t, And I5 u e D ickson* s i r u ' S p e liy n9ftdZ</ frMSVrw FREE books , reading game P H O N IC S , S P E L L I N 6 B E E S * k iS >Cntg H i r / t n / S / e v V * -THE BASIC IT A L IC A ND LOTS MORE noise. Pets have been known to bolt out o f windows, tear through chain link fences, and choke themselves to death chained in their own back yard ." states Donna Wunsch, Education Coordinator at Animal Control. Pet owners must take preventa tive steps to protect their pets. First, it is important that all pets always wear buckle type collars or harnesses with current identification tags and licenses so that if it does become frightened and bolts, it can be re turned easily to its owner. This is vital for all pets, even those who "are always in the house," because even those pets can become panicked and run away. Second, never leave your pet alone during a fireworks display or allow them to come into contact with any firecrackers. The best place for your animal is inside the house with you, where you can provide comfort and security. Third, if the animal has a history o f be coming frightened during loud noises, it is often helpful to obtain tranquilizers from a veterinarian. These will help to keep your pet comfortable during noisy times. Never give your pet “ people" drugs as they may cause adverse reactions in animals. For advice on making pets more comfortable or for help in locating lost or found pets, call the M ultno mah County Animal Shelter at 666-3711. ALPHA0E' I f each single woman in this country stood up and asked for one man all to herself, one quarter o f those asking would wind up empty- handed. And if you are black and female, your chances o f having a one-on-one relationship with a man are even less. This unsettling news was related by Howard University family thera pist Audrey B. Chapman to more than 100 women who recently gath ered at a "M an-S haring” W o rk shop, sponsored by the Howard University Counseling Service. W hat is "M an -S h arin g" and who needs it? W ell, according to Chap man. no female is immune to the problems o f being the "other wom an " in a man's life whether she hap pens to be single or married. "M a n y married women are sharing their men, and don’t know it ," she said to the group, which concurred with bursts of laughter and hand-clapping "T his problem is not a Washington, D .C ., prob lem. It's a national problem. It's a woman’s problem ." Chapman said she felt the need to organize this workshop because so many women, no longer able to cope with the dismal prospects o f finding a man, were seeking coun seling at the service. Too many women, Chapman said, feel they have few, if any, op tions when dealing with men and ro mance. As soon as a problem sur faces in a relationship, women tend to panic, wrench their hands and worry that, " O h , my God, I'm going to lose this m a n ," This predi lection for being a victim is what gets most women into crisis — and needlessly so — she added. The pain that accompanies the feeling of being exploited and vic timized by men was sharply etched in the weary looks of some o f the women who were more than willing to share some dreary tales o f disap pointment in the game o f romance. “ I ’ve been seeing a married man for over a year n o w ," said one young woman who chose not to give her name. " I know I need to get out o f it, and I came here hoping to get some support.” Another participant said that she had come to accept "three months" W H O L E — S o u th e rn G ro w n FRYER LE f f 4 HINO G UAFTfcR CUT "J U M B O PACK ' lati thon 5 lb.
