BURGER KING
INITIATES
CHILDCARE/
ELDER CARE
SUBSIDY
PROGRAM
THROUGHOUT
PORTLAND
METRO AREA
All Burger King Restaurants in
the Portland metropolitan area have
initiated a childcare and elder care
subsidy program, it was announced
tqday by Candace Gonzales, director
of marketing.
The subsidy programs are avail­
able to all hourly team members in
the 27 Burger King Restaurants in
the Portland metropolitan area, all of
which are owned and operated by
Restaurant management Northwest.
The subsidy program will expand to
include 29 restaurants in August, 1989,
with the addition of new restaurants
in Beaverton and Gresham. The child­
care program is available to hourly
team members who are the parent or
legal guardian of a child less than 10
years of age.Eligible employees are
able to enroll their child in the daycare
of their choice.
The elder care program is avail­
able to hourly team members who
are the sole provider of support for a
parent that requires care. The sub­
sidy can be used to defray any costs
incurred by these employers in car­
ing for a parent as required. This in­
novative program is believed to be
the first of its kind in the state. It is
anticipated that this type of program
will become more common as em­
ployers face the demands of an aging
population.The subsidy may equal
up to $50 per week, per employee.
Restaurant Management Northwest
is believed to be the only company in
the Portland metropolitan area to offer
childcare and elder care subsidies to
its employees. Restaurant Manage­
ment Northwest, with approximately
1500 employees, is ranked 50th in
the State of Oregon based on this
number.

FINANCIAL
ABUSE AND
CRIMINAL
VICTIMIZATION
OF THE
ELDERLY
One of the concerns of the Gover­
nor’s Commission on Senior Serv­
ices is the financial abuse and crimi­
nal victimization of the elderly. Vir­
tually every day some older Orego­
nian is the victim of some form of
scam, fraud, or scheme. These come
in many forms and may be by some
unscrupulous salesperson, mislead­
ing or false advertising, unreason­
able contract terms or dozens of other
methods to victimize the elderly.
It is the responsibility of every in­
dividual to become educated so as to
becom e a w ise and careful
consumer.Organizations that are es­
tablished to deal with the concerns of
older persons can provide programs
and assist in the enlightenment and
increase the awareness of the con­
sumer pitfalls to avoid. An example
of such programs available to the
citizens of Oregon is one provided by
the office of the Oregon Attorney
General. Jan Morgosian of that O f­
fice (378-4732) conducts an excel­
lent overview of many of the ways
that the older persons are being
“ ripped o f f ’ and suggestions o f how
to avoid being a victim.
Another example is a slide-tape
presentation which is available from
A ARP and is titled “ Caveat Ven­
dor. “ This provides a good lesson for
consumers. Many other programs are
available and the Commission en­
courages every organization and group
on the S tate with concerns for seniors
to participate in the fight against this
form of abuse of the older Orego­
nian.

“THE BITE, A TASTE OF
PORTLAND”
IS SET FOR AUGUST 11-13 AT TOM
McCALL WATERFRONT PARK
The recipe calls for: tasty specialties from 30 restaurants, tasty licks from
60 of the area’s top bands; a lacing of fine Oregon wines and a liberal
measure of hard work and dedication by some 500 volunteers from the
Oregon Special Olympics organization. The result is “ The Bite” , Port­
land’s premiere food and wine tasting festival and musical entertainment
showcase. It’s set for August 11,12, & 13 at Tom McCall Waterfront Park
and admission is free.
Thirty restaurants will dish up their signature cuisine and the Oregon
Wine pavilion will offer award-winning wines from 20 Oregon Wineries.
Throughout the weekend, over 60 bands perform on two separate stages
delivering a musical smorgasbord to please every taste: big band, acoustic,
folk, jazz, country, rock and show bands. The new “ Small Fry Theater”
sponsored by Oscar Maeyer will present performances of family entertain­
ment. There also will be an exhibit on the Oregon Convention Center’s
potential economic impact on restaurant and night club business presented
by the Oregon Lottery.
“ At the Bite, everyone wins” says Ken Dale, executive director of
Oregon Special Olympics, “ you taste great food and wine, enjoy great
entertainment and it all benefits a terrific cause. The bite makers it possible
for us to stage year around athletic training and competition in 16 different
sports for the mentally impaired children and adults in our community” ,
continued Dale. More than 185,000 people turned out for “ The Bite” last
year and Oregon Special Olympics realized a net profit of $80,000+.
This year’s goal is even higher.
“ The Bite’s ” 1989 major sponsors are: Oregon Lottery, Portland Dis­
tributing Company, Seagram’s Coolers, Pepsi Cola, The Oregonian, KOIN
TV6, and 1190 KEX and Z100 radio.

PASCHALL IS NEW UO
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
DIRECTOR
Diane Wong Paschall of Cambridge, Mass., is the University o f Oregon’s
new director of affirmative action.
Pascahll, an attorney and member of the Massachusetts Bar Association,
will assume the full-time post in mid-August. She currently is special
assistant to the president for human resources and affirmative action at
Roxbury (Mass.) Community College, where more than 90 percent of the
students are minority group members, and many are recent immigrants.
‘ ‘I am delighted that the university has been able to attract a person of Ms.
Paschall’s caliber to head our affirmative action office,” said UO President
Myles Brand.
“ She is bright, articulate and has the kind of background and experience
this university needs to continue its work in recruiting a more diverse
faculty, staff and student body,” he observed. “ She will help us to make
sure the university is a place where individual differences are respected and
where our employees and students all are given an equal and full opportunity
to excel in their work and study.”
Paschall, 43, was selected after a five-month national search that at­
tracted 75 applicants. Alison Baker,executive assistant to the president,
chaired the 10-member search committee.
Brand reviewed the credentials of four finalists recommended to him by
the search committee before he became the university’s 14th chief execu­
tive on July 1. He had recommended Paschall’s appointment to Paul Olum,
now UO president emeritus, before Olum left office.
Paschall replaces Bean Comrada, who took a position with the UO
Foundation as director of special projects. Anita Johnson was acting
affirmative action director during the 1988-89 academic year.
As director, Paschall will report to and advise the president and the
university’s senior administrative, staff on affirmative action and equal
opportunity issues. She will help develop and coordinate the university’s
affirmative action plans, and she will head a staff responsible for imple­
menting and monitoring those programs.
Before beginning her Roxbury Community college assignment, Paschall
worked from April 1986 to July 1988 as an attorney in the Enforcement
Division of the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission in Boston. While
there, she also monitored employee screening and hiring efforts as the
agency’s affirmative action manager.
During 1987, she was a member of the Cambridge Human Rights
Commission. For 18 months beginning in March 1984, she worked at the
Massachusetts Advocacy Center in Boston as a policy analyst specializing
in children’s rights issues and as an advocate representing children and
parents in school related cases.
Paschall is a 1983 graduate of the Harvard Law School. She was an
honors graduate o f Cleveland (Ohio) State University in 1980, earning a
bachelor’s degree magna cum laude in Spanish and history.

Teens Lose
Driving Privileges
More than 700 Oregon teenagers
were denied their driving privileges
in the first six months of 1989, ac­
cording to the Motor Vehicles Divi­
sion. This figure represents a four
percent decrease when compared to
the first six months of 1988.
Under the law, first offenders are
denied driving privileges for one year
or until the person becomes 17, which­
ever is longer. Repeat offenders are
suspended or denied for another year
or until the person becomes 18, again,
whichever is longer.
The 715 denials were based on
court convictions or determinations
involving alcohol or drug posses­
sion, use or abuse. Courts then order
DM V to suspend licenses or deny the
privilege to apply for a license or
permit. Driving privileges may bei
denied even when the offenses are
not related to driving a motor ve­
hicle.
There were 592 denials for pos­
session of alcohol or drugs. This
accounted for 83 percent of the total.
There were 11 denials for having an
open container of alcohol or drinking
in a motor vehicle, 95 for intoxica­
tion, one for driving under the influ­
ence of intoxication, one for driving
under
the
influence
of
intoxicants(DUll) and 16 for miscel­
laneous alcohol and drug offenses
such as theft, delivery or manufac­
turing of a controlled substance.
Males accounted for 565 o f the
denials, or 80 percent.
DMV statistics show that there
were 94 second denials, 16 third
denials, two fourth denials, one fifth
denial, and one sixth denial.
