Artquake evicts Cornerstone booth

The 1983 Artquake, called the
great "fo o d q u a ke" by one media
»ource. has left la its wake debrie o f
confusion. 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

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

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

C obi Fashion S h o w fo r H ire ." "Cobi Fashion Show for Hire" was a
concept born of my 25 years of expertisa in the field of Modeling, Cosme
tology and Fashion, relating to the volunteer services I have rendered to
many businesses, organizations and various clubs throughout Oregon.
These services have been in the form of Beauty Seminars, Fashion Shows
and T .V. Beauty Productions.
Has planning for fundraisers become a tedious chore for your organize

ing for and choosing non professional models, arranging music and
staging productions? W ouldn't you prefer to sit back and enjoy a profes
sional production and leave the work to someone else?

Ask for Willie Banks
with a boy with whom he shares
some common interests. 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

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.
