One Northeaet project, the Albina Ministerial Alliance sponsored Northeast Cornerstone Project, became an eleventh-hour victim o f yes you can and no you can't. The Northeast Cornerstone P ro j ect, according to founder/director Raymond Wilson, is an alternative to Maclaren for juveniles involved in the juvenile court system. And to help raise money for a much needed computer, the group had secured verbal permission from O .A . "P ancho " Donaldson, manager of the Masonic Temple o f Portland, to use the "South Terrace” o f their property on SW Park, as a display and vending site during the three days o f the *83 Artquake. Preparation had been made, in cluding the acquisition o f 80 12-inch pizzas, when on the morning the Artquake opened, the eleventh-hour decision by Donaldson was rendered to withdraw and not honor the agree ment that was reached "approxi mately three weeks prior to the A rt q uake." Donaldson said the cancellation did transpire and that it was " a very unfortunate situation." His reference is to a third party, the Artquake, represented by Karen W hitm an, executive producer, and Victoria Son, artistic director, who itedBaroj According to Son, the Artquake committee had paid "$ 4 ,0 0 0 " to rent the Masonic Temple and, more over, they were under the impres sion they had "exclusive rights." M aintaining, "W e did have artistic control." Donaldson said Artquake wanted the use o f the Masonic Temple on a five-year basis "there was nothing specifically (in the contract) about the foyer (South Terrace) out front.’* And in answer to the eleventh- hour cancellation, he said, "B e cause I made this building available to Artquake for five years." Adding that “ the decision was my own and through no pressure from them (the representatives o f A rtqu ake." After the cancellation decision was rendered, no park block com promise site was offered to the C o r nerstone Project, because, accord ing to Son, there was no available space. She said an agreement had previously been reached with the u - tistic community to keep food booths and display booths separat ed. It seems that artists are partial to people munching food and gazing at works o f art; at least at the same time. Which in some ways is an irony in itself. The Red Baron Pizza Company (home office in Marshall, M inne sota) had donated the 80 pizzas to the Cornerstone Project, in addition to sending a pilot with a plane to the Rose City to give kids rides over the Thia c o lu m n la d ira c ta d to civic and local o rg an iza tio n s (n atio n w ld a ) w h o ara in ta ra s ta d In fu nd raisin g fo r vario us c h a ritie s and co n vantion s. city from September 7th through the 10th. Moreover, the Red Baron Pizza Company presented the North- easi Cornerstone Project a check in the amount o f $300, as their token o f goodwill to the city on the banks o f the Willamette River. Wilson said his perplexity stems from two things: One, three time Donaldson (old W hitman that he Where help can be found When you need assistance or just inform ation about community re sources, where do you turn? Recently a social worker at a Portland hospital was searching for a way to help a 42-year-old mother who needed an ongoing supply o f oxygen. The woman, whose husband was unemployed, had been denied Aid to Dependent Children—-two parent families are not eligible for public assistance. Her application for Social Security Disability was pending, a process that can take months to complete. The social worker contacted In formation and Referral Services: What could be done? The I A R staff went to w ork, first calling the woman’s doctor, who sent a letter staling that should she not receive oxygen on a regular basis, she could expect to experience progressive res piratory difficulties, requiring multiple hospitalizations. Next, the worker contacted a medical supply company, established an account and persuaded (he company to write o ff any cost not able to be covered. She also tracked the case through Social Security in order to keep the review moving along. Emergency funds managed by the Inform ation and Referral office were matched with contributions from other helping agencies to pay for the oxygen. Finally, the case was resolved when Social Security approved the woman's application for disability payments and she re ceived a medical card. In communities with a central inform ation and referral program, there is a way through the maze of social services, eligibility criteria and assorted red tape which often confronts people looking for help. 1 A R has often been described as the universal doorway to available resources. Last year, 22,000 people dialed 222-3333, the most accessible pipeline to community services in the Portland metro area. For forty years.

Providing advocacy on behalf of clients, serv ing as a catalyst for development of new resources, tracking continuous changes in the social services, acting as the main access point for seasonal or temporary programs (e.g., energy assistance, surplus cheese distribu tion), and administering a modest emergency fund for "last resort" cases are all ways in which the United Way program contributes to coordination o f the service system.

A willing ness to spend a minimum of only two hours per week for just four months is all that is asked for. In many instances, the relationship continues on its own well beyond the four-month period. Volunteers are not expected to take their boy on expensive activi ties. Sports, swimming, fishing, riding bikes, movies, doing work projects around the house, or having the boy come along on some thing you have to do as part o f your daily routine are just a few things that big and little brothers can do together.
