July 13, 1988, Portland Observer, Page 7 Cont. from page 1 Bogle Explains Sum m it Proposal P u B L 'C A ’ i O ^ C O P T For Your Information "WhyI proposedaGangSummit' By: Commissioner Dick Bogle Action. That's why I proposed a gang summit. That's what I expect to get from it. This is not "another forum.” This is not "just conversation.” This is not "posturing to create an impression of action where there is none.” The time for posturing is long past. The public demands action now . No one is in a better position to act than those w ho’ve been handed that responsibility by the electorate. And there is no better course than laying our cards on the table, in full view, and saying, with one voice, “ We w ill act!” We intend to develop strategies for immediate and long-term relief from the threat of criminal gangs. We will do so by bringing together people who know and understand the problem s, and are already working on solutions. We will ask them, in advance, to look beyond conventional wisdom, and to stretch their minds for crea­ tive new approaches. Coordination, the missing link in the chain we re trying to forge, crosses all lines of jurisdiction. Law enforcement is tied to prosecution and corrections. In effect, actions by the Portland Police lead to actions by county, state or federal author­ ities, or a combination of two or more. The City Council has its unique responsibilities, as do the Board of County Commissioners, the County Sheriff's Department, the District Attorney’s office, the U.S. Attorney’s office, the G overnor’s office, and the va rious ta x-su p p o rte d agencie s which answer to elected officials. Never have these bodies worked as a single unit to solve a complex problem such as that now posed in this city by criminal gangs. Never have all the key players met on the same field with one goal in mind. T h a t is why I proposed a gang summit. W e need to c o n s o lid a te our know ledge, and co o rd in a te our actions. T his cannot be accom plished simply by picking up a telephone and urging other elected officials to join the fight against gangs. It can be accom plished if we all sit down at one table and make it happen! That’s the goal of the gang sum ­ mit. In my opinion, it’s a realistic goal. We have it within our power to set policies, allocate resources, and direct others to act. The amount of positive energy we pour into the gang summit will determine, in large measure, how well we succeed. No mountain was ever moved by cynicism and nay-saying. <$ Portland, Oregon - Secretary of State, Barbara Roberts announced, July 12, 1988, that 7-Eleven Stores in the State of Oregon are now involved in a voter registration program. In an effort to encourage greater voter participation in the State of O re g o n , B a rb a ra R oberts, announced the start of the voter registration effort that The Southland Corporation, parent company of the 7-Eleven Stores has initiated in the state. Noting the need to encourage qualified voters to register, Oregon/ Idaho D ivision M anager, Steve Brune, stated that “ It is time for government, private business and citizens groups to encourage citi­ zens across the state to actively participate in the electoral process." The registration program will be a v a ila b le at 7 -E le v e n S tores throughout the State of Oregon. Voter registration cards w ill be available from prominently featured displays at all participating 7-Eleven Stores. Store personnel w ill be wearing register^) vote pins and will be encouraging eligible citizens to com plete and mail in the voter registration card. "I am hopeful that this effort has an impact on those citizens who have not had the time to pick up a voter registration card and send it in. "Hopefully the convenience of our stores and having the forms prominently displayed will prove to be an easy and efficient way for citizens to register to vote,” Brune stated. The voter registration drive will be an ongoing effort throughout this election year at all participating 7- Eleven Stores.

Even his kindergarteners quickly learn their phone numbers. They’ll learn about the public school that adopted private school uniforms to enhance student pride and s e lf-e s te e m . T w e n ty -e ig h t schools in that district switch to uniforms this fall. They’ll discover innovations that defied tradition, confounded union interference and circumvented the b u re a cra cy. T h e y ’ll understand methods used to achieve academ ­ ically and behaviorily under the most trying circum stances and acquire effective tools that attract parental participation, teaching excellence and e n th u s ia s tic stu d e n t achievement. The Gearhart gathering was not about an issue as simple as black and white. Its participants deal with Asians, Orientals, Hispanics, Hai­ tians, Puerto Ricans and American Indians. A common thread in the fabric of success involves rewards for effort—carrots, not sticks. At the same time these achieving schools are highly structured and expecta­ tions are distinctly and firmly estab­ lished at the beginning of each term for both teachers and students. It is hoped Herndon’s brainchild in Oregon will lead to a national strategy. Little w o n d e r he was recently elected national president of Head Start directors. And this latest example of forward thinking and action to back it up is evidence Gearhart wasn't such an unlikely site after all. Thanks to Oregonians who have what it takes to be on the leading edge. 0 LOO«« 0«0 >00««« «ot ol u««0'««0 .«com» »Iiowonco a«<3 '• $ •» •« («••**• 4 0 m.nu» 4 0 0«0 « C) 5 Assets MkJ >« trading account« 6 Premises ««<3 tn »o ooooto (including capitalized Xoses) «010(0 7 Otho* '«« I owned • investment» .« u«co««ot4'es a«d a«*oc.«io<3 comp»»..«« 9 Customers i ability io ««•» 00«« on acceptance» outstanding to Iniangioie assets it Ot««' aooots 12 a Too* a»»«1» iiu m ot flams i tnrowgn i i ) o Loam deterred pursuant to ,2 U S C ’ 823 (j) c Total assois and losses de’» ''« d pursuant to 12 U S C ’ 823( jj (sum ot items , 2 a and ’ 2 di l ia b il it ie s 13 Daposfl» a m domestic ottico» (1) Nonmie'OSt.ng - be»' "9 (2) interest Dea'.ng •B’ 0 m foreign ottico» Edg» a«o Agreomem subs d » 'a s s (1 1 Nonin,«'e»l - oeo'.ng (2) InlO'OOl DOO'.ng 14 Federal tunos purchased and »ecuni-as so d under * g - .e m e anow eoge ««a ba *• SIGNATURE O f ( J f ^ ( ^ ( S l A U I« ¿ R T O > ^ - a f »ORT ham e » n o r e f it o r o f f C E R Í s . - o S'G n ___________________________ DATE S ig n e d A e 'h e unoe'S gneo d 'ectd 'S a 'te s 'm e cc 'ec'.ness VLNERAbLL f’ . j ' * > R epc- best o' ou» knoweoge anp œ e' -as t e e ' ; epa ec S .G N *’ U «E O f D IB E C ’ 0 » |S 'O \* -.= E ¡A R iA t e o t r e » o « t ALAN L.
