Kids learn about city planning
by Robert Lothian
Urban designer E lijuh M irochnik
came up w ith a unique method o f
teaching elementary school children
about the city.
He had them draw their ideas for
a future city on large plastic triangles.
The tnangles were put together and
formed a dome 30 feet high. The
dome was set up in the park blocks
downtown and 200 o f the children
who contributed to the project were
invited to take a look at their work.
"A s the kids came in they started
to look lo r their plastic triangle. . .
they got very excited,” he said.
M irochnik is gathering ideas from
children for the Central City Plan.
The plan covers the inner city from
Southwest over to Lloyd Center, in
cluding a big chunk o f Albina up to
Fremont, and from the Ross Island to
the Fremont bridses He outlined his
"kid m a p p e d " project at a "P lanning
for Young People" workshop at
Portland State University last week.
Among the ideas that youngsters
came up with, said M irochnik, was a
sky bridge tilted between buildings for
kids on skateboards. “ There were a
lot o f ideas for skateboard parks," he
added.
There were also a lot o f ideas for
playground equipment, including one
for a large rainbow w ith stairs to the
top Boys were interested in technol
ogy and rocket ships fo r playground
equipment. "G irls were very inter
ested in shopping, in places they could
be downtown where they felt safe in a
recreational setting."
One little girl suggested a bank
that gave out candy and money
" U S. Bank. Candy and Everything."
“ The kids are very much interested
in laces geared to their kind ol taste.
ning for Children Project in Sacra
mento, reported the results o f an ex
tensive survey there.
Children wanted safe streets where
they can play, efficient bus or other
transportation so they can get places
without a car, bike lanes and walk
ways away from busy streets, and
school or park-sponsored after-school
recreational activities, she said. The
children also suggested a logo to indi
cate businesses and agencies that en
courage patronage by young people,
and where they can go to get help.
Places and activities that youth like,
she said, are malls, stores, parks,
sports events, movies, fast food res
taurants and video arcades — any
place they can have fun and be safe.
" A ll the way through the survey,
kids wanted to be more independent,
responsible and grown up than their
jvarents think they are," said Swabuck.
and that means sugar, ice cream and
pizza. They want places where they
won't get the 'hairy eyeball' from
adults and felt that most businesses
were for adults. I think that’s some
thing to be considered by develop-
CIS. ••
When they finished their dome
pieces, M irochnik said he had the
children look up the mayor’ s phone
number and then call him to talk
over their ideas. The phone didn’ t
have a cord, but M irochnik said there
was no reason the kids couldn’ t try it
at home.
He described his "ch ild re n ’s future
dome” as a symbol o f kids working
together. " I t ’ s a program where kids
are putting their two cents worth in —
they're saying what they want.”
Another way to gather ideas Irom
youth is to take a survey. Jacquie

Northeast Portland still in economic depression
by Robert Lothian
It’ s no news to residents o f N o rth
east Portland that the "recovery" is
happening somewhere else.
Oregon remains among the top
sutes in the number o f unemployed,
Portland’ s unemployment rate is up
to 9.8 percent, and the rate among
Black people is 20 percent or more.
"Recession is when your neighbor
is out o f work, and depression is when
you are out o f w ork, and that is par
ticularly true in Northeast Portland,”
said Rev. John Garlington, speaking
at the "B o tto m Line is Jobs" torum
last week.
W'ith unemployed youth on the
street corners o f major cities in large
numbers, a “ m ajor explosion” could
be expected. Garlington said he is
surprised and gratified that there
hasn’t yet been one. “ I am surprised
that we haven’ t had any repeats o f
1968,” he said.
A valuable lesson u u g h t by Jesse
Jackson is that constantly reaffirm ing
self-esteem helps overcome the grief
o f unemployment and poverty, said
Garlington.
Church leaders need to sponsor
forums to discuss ways that they can
counsel the unemployed to raise (heir
self-esteem, he suggested.
Garlington referred to the Old
Testament when he suggested that
workers bed allowed to rest with a
paid sabbatical during their seventh
year on the job, to recoup their ener
gies and allow other people to go to
work. "T here’s enough in the world
to meet the w orld’ s need, but not the
w orld’ s greed," he said.
Garlington said he was pleased
when ice descended on the president’s
inauguration ceremony in January,
and much o f the fancy food was d o
nated to Washington’ s poor.
Convinced that the U.S. is under
going the greatest revolution since
the Industrial Revolution, G arling
ton spoke o f change coming under
great pressure, bringing “ a new time
o f blessing and health for our coun
try ."
" U n til it happens," he said, "a t
least we've got each o ther."
Garlington, pastor o f Maranatha
Church and vice-president o f Ecu
menical Ministries o f Oregon, spoke
at the forum organized by the Job
O pportunity Bank at Westminster
Presbyterian Church.
Norenc Goplcn, executive director
o f J O B . , said the job referral agency
has 375 people on its rolls, including
a surprising number with niastrs and
doctorate degrees. The agency has

Oregon’s lumber industry is on
the decline and will have almost no
job openings in years to come. She
vailed for a diversification o f Oregon’s
economy to get away from the wood

cause o f Oregon's current economic
problems
Some emerging occupations o f the

they had bright futures at one tunc.
"The alternative energy field is one

Burnside Hobo Parade
by Nathaniel Scott
Controversy looms as the Burusidc
community prepares for its fifth an
nual H obo Parade, Saturday, July 27.
The theme for this year’ s parade is
"H unger in our own backyard."
The assemblage area is the N orth
Park Blocks and N .W . 8th and Ev
erett Streets.
The parade is scheduled to begin at
12 noon, wind through the Burnside
community and culminate ai Tom
M cC all’ s W aterfront Park where
speeches and entertainment w ill be
held.
However, the parade preceeds
the banning o f the sale o f “ fo rtifie d
w ine" in the Burnside community by
four days.
Beginning August I, the state and
city has decreed that no fortified
wines can be sold in the Burnside
area, which includes Old Town,
where the rich and the not so rich
gather day and night to sip gallons o f
alcoholic spirits.
While being enthusiastic about this
year’s hobo parade, with Rambling
Jack E lliot as the grand marshal,
Michael A. Stoops, the founder-
director o f Baloney Joe's, 313 E.
Burnside Street, is perturbed over the
banning o f fortified wines.
"B anning the sale o f cheap wine is
not going to keep an alcoholic from
getting a d rin k ,” said Stoops, who is
contemplating legal action to slop the
ban
The Burnside Community Board
o f Directors w ill decide this week
what action to take. Stoops said.
Stoops said, " I am embarrassed at
the city for moving into a prohibition
era (because) it ’s going to create
(bootlegging) and increase the sale (o f
fortified wine) in other areas."
Stoops added, “ I f they are going to
ban the s?'e o f fo rtifie d wine; they
should ban the sale o f all alcoholic
beverages in this area."
Stoops is also concerned with what
he perceives to be a decrease in the
visibility o f police in the Burnside
area.
Recently the area between Burnside
and Davis on N.W 6th Avenue has
become a multi-entertainment center.
Jazz, blues, rock and punk music
arc concentrated in an area that is be
coming one o f the city’ s highest con
centrated drug areas and there is an
increase o f shootings, knifings and
muggings in the area.
Stoops assesses the problem this
way: "There are masses o f people
coming down to the Burnside area at
night and the residents, including
myself, who live in the Burnside area,
don’ t feel comfortable walking the
streets at night.
“ I hope in that m ulti-cultural train
ing Chief Harrington is talking about,
that it w ill include the homeless,”
Stoops said, adding, "Burnside is
Oregon’s E thiopia.”
Stoops said in October he w ill cele
brate his eighth year in the Burnside
area, and while he is not considering
political office, he would support Ron
Herndon’ s campaign fo r governor.
City Commissioner Dick Bogle w ill
be the parade's guest speaker and the
Ktngsmen singing group w ill perform,
leading the parade w ill be the Just
Seventeen Band.
