Lockett Announces for City
Street Life
Sally was a good student and held down a part-time job. She came
home one night and found a note from her parents telling her to move out
the next day. When she asked her father, "Where will I go?", he shouted
that he didn't care and kicked her in the stomach. She fted and spent her
first night in a graveyard. This was just the beginning of the nightmare for
this 16 year old. She had run to life on the streets.
Each year, more than a million kids run away from home to the
"glamour and freedom" of the streets. However, they run unprepared for
a tough and lonely life. Hunger, theft, alcohol abuse and drug-selling
quickly become a way of life. Lacking employable skills, prostitution is an
ezsy way to earn what they need to survive. But some do not survive at all.
An estimated 2,000 unidentified teen bodies are found annually by the
Commissioner
Harvey H. Lockett, former aide to Commissioner Charles Jordan for
over seven years, filed for Portland City Council, Position No. 4, on Octo­
ber 2. At 4:00 p.m. a press conference was held at Portland Community
College, Cascade Campus, 705 N.E. Killingsworth Ave. A reception fol­
lowed the announcement.
Lockett, 42, has also served as an Aide and Executive Assistant to
Dick Bogle. Lockett is currently serving as a Consultant to the company
Enjoy Oregon The Pacific Wonderland, and he recently completed a project
police.
These are not somebody else's kids - these are our kids. Every year
in Oregon, 25,000 kids run. Their average age is 16. They come from all
kinds of family backgrounds. Of the street kids served in Oregon's shelter
programs, 95% live within 50 miles of home. Who are they and why do
they run? What is their life on the street like? What help is available to
them? Is there a way to prevent this tragedy? What happens to them even­
tually? What do YOU think? Join Jack Faust and his guests at Pioneer
Courthouse Square on Sunday, October 18th at 3:00 p.m. The program
will be taped between 3:30 4:45 p.m. in the Amphitheater area, located on
the corner of SW Broadway and Morrison. Please dress warmly! Call
Mary Fetsch, Frank Mungeam or Janice Richkoff at 231-4620 for reser­
for the State of Oregon.
In filing for Position No. 4, Lockett, a long time resident, says that he
knows that the City of Portland is experiencing rapid change and growth.
While the growth in some areas is extremely favorable, it is obvious that
positive growth is not the case overall.
Lockett cites "the areas of positive growth in the City of Portland are
the Light Rail Transit System; Performing Arts Center; Convention Center,
Pioneer Place; and other significant downtown redevelopment." Lockett
sees some unfavorable areas of rapid change and growth as being: "Drug
houses in our neighborhoods; influx of youth gangs throughout the City;
prostitution solicitation on our City streets; mounting fiscal constraints
on the City's budget; long-term and emergency housing for the homeless;
and other real and perceived problems echoed by citizens. These are the
areas that my immediate attention will be focused." He further maintains
that his 9 years in City Hall has prepared him to tackle these issues with a
proactive approach.
Lockett believes that the favorable changes and growth have occureed
through the efforts of diverse community interests and elected officials
putting forth time, resources and commitment to make things happen. He
further states that "in part, some of the unfavorable areas of change are
directly attributable to the absence of vision and demonstrable leadership
of the part of the incumbent Commissioner." Lockett states that he
knows how to listen to residents of the City and act on viable alternatives

In case of rain, this program will be recorded at the Burnside Youth
Shelter (1318 S.W. Washington) at the same time, 3:30 p.m. Guests with
reservations will be notified if location has beer^changed^
