Page 8...The Portland Observer...September 4,1991 Texaco Donates Concert Tickets to Help Raise Food Donations Fans can’t buy tickets for the Kenny Rogers and Barbara Mandrell Concert at Portland Memorial Coliseum Sep tember 6, but they can see the show by helping hungry children and families in Portland. Texaco is donating tickets remain ing from its System 3 American Super stars Concert Ticket Giveaway to the Oregon Food Bank, which will otfer tickets for food donations at four area Texaco stations on Wednesday, Sep tember 4 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., while tickets last. Fans will not be able to choose from available seats. During that time, interested con cert-goers may bring two bags of non- perishable food items in exchange for two concert tickets to donation points at Texaco stations located at 519 North east Broadway and Grand, 5524 S.E. 82nd and Foster, 17997 S.W. Lower oones Ferry Road and 11850 S.W. Canyon Road. Fans are limited to two tickets per person. Texaco’s donation to the Oregon Food Bank coincides with this week’s announcement by Governor Barbara Roberts declaring September “ Child hood Hunger Awareness Month in Oregon,” as part of the Oregon Food Bank’s statewide Campaign to end Childhood Hunger. With the ticket donation, Texaco hopes to raise thou sands of pounds of food to help benefit the nearly 200,000 hungry children- close to half the number of persons receiving emergency food assistance- in the state of Oregon. Donated bags should contain at least five non-perishable food items.

(No purchase necessary.) Winning game cards must be redeemed by September 3, as listed in game rules on the card. Texaco will turn over tickets remain ing after that date to the Oregon Food Bank.

In all, the Oregon Food Bank network collects and distributes food to nearly 600 social service agencies throughout Oregon and Clark County, Washing ton. Last year, Oregon Food Bank net work agencies provided emergency food supplies to over 425,000 people, the equivalent of 14 percent of Oregon’s total population. Otis McGee, president and gen eral manager ol The Minority Televi sion Project (MTP), announced that KMTP-TV began broadcasting from SutroTower in San Franciscoon Satur day, Aug. 31. KMTP-TV is only the second African-American controlled public television station in the country - the other is WHMM, operated by Howard University since 1980 in Wash ington. The Minority Television Project was formed in 1983 by a group of minority professionals concerned about the lack of quality, multicultural pro graming in the Bay Area. On Aug. 1, 1983, MTP launchedaneightyear legal effort with the Federal Communica tions Commission (FCC) to gain con trol of channel 32, at that time operated by KQED, a PBS affiliate in the Bay Area. In April of this year, KQED in formed the FCC that it would cease operating Channel 32 on Aug. 30, and turn the station over to MTP. Earlier this month, the San Fran cisco Redevelopment Agency, in an unprecedented move, approved a $500,000 grant to the Minority Televi sion Project Inc. KMTP-TV’s mission is to offer programming that reflects the lifestyles, cultures and concerns of the 2.3 million African-Americans, Asians, Latinos and other minoritities who reside in the Bay Area. As a minority-controlled, multic- ulturally oriented station, KMTP-TV will offer programs produced by mem bers of the Bay Area’s multicultural communities, and by national and inter national independent producers on sub jects of interest to multi-ethnic audi ences. KMTP-TV will also air select programs from PBS. Otis McGee, Jr., president and general manager, is presently managing partner of Alexander, Millner & McGee, California’s largest minority-owned law firm. Adam C. Powell, III, station manager, has over two decades of expe rience in local and national broadcast ing, including positions with CBS and Westinghouse Broadcasting. John Douglas, broadcasting consultant to KMTP-TV, is founder, president and chief executive officer of Douglas Broad casting Inc., a Palo Alto, Calif.-based radio broadcast group created by the $24 million leveraged buyout of three California radio stations.

Portland residents also proved tra ditionalists in how they top off ice cream. Thirty percent named choco late syrup their favorite topping, fol lowed by hot fudge, cited by 28 per cent of those surveyed, and butter scotch, cited 13 percent. As far as what goes into the ice cream, locals demand pure, all-natural ingredients. In fact, 82 percent said' this was an important element in se lecting ice cream. “ People in Portland are very selective about the purity of what goes into their food,” said Bel lach. “ We are too. That’s a big reason why we continue to make BREYERS ice cream with all-natural ingredients. In Portland, ice cream often is as sociated with special ice crea at birth day, graduation and wedding parties. Another twelve percent said it’s best with family and friends. And icecream is also a great cure for a sweet tooth, according to nine percent of Portlan ders, who report they eat ice cream to satisfy a craving. Portland may have a reputation for soggy weather, but when the sun comes out and the temperature rises, a lot of folks eat ice cream to cool off. Seventeen percent said a cool scoop is a sure way to beat the heat. BREYERS products are made by the Frozen Products Group of Kraft General Foods, Inc.

Well it’s not little Johnnie or Janie as you might suspect. According to a recent survey, it’s probably Mom or Dad caught red-handed with the scoop. In fact, the ‘ ‘BREYERS Gets The Portland Scoop’ ’ survey found that 43 percent of Portland adult females, and 40 percent of adult males, are the ones who can’t resist America’s favorite dessert. Kids trailed Mom and Dad, with 29 percent of those surveyed re porting youngsters as the biggest ice crea fans of the household. “ Most adults have a weakness for ice cream they don’t like to admit. It doesn t surprise me Portland adults are bigger ice creams fans than the kids,” said Steve Bellach, BREYERS product manager. The survey was conducted to pro file Portland’s ice cream trends as part of BREYERS ice cream’s 125th anni versary, celebrating more than a cen tury since William Breyer handcranked his first batch. The survey found Portland resi dents cat ice cream just about any time of day. A few scoops for an evening snack, however, froze out the compe tition as Portland’s favorite lime of day for ice cream, according to almost one half of local residents. Midnight also was a popular time tdive into the ice cream carton. An estimated 39,000 locals prefer ice cream at midnight over any other time of day.
