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. A
typical bag might contain powdered
milk, infant formula, canned tuna, meat,
soups, fruits or vegetables; boxed

macaroni and cheese or pasta dinners;
or other nutritious non-perishables such
as peanut butter.
“ By turning over the tickets trom
our giveaway to the Oregon Food Bank,
we’ve given fans a chance to see an
excellent show and provided some
incentive for doantions to the tood bank
in support of its extensive efforts to end
childhood hunger,” said John Price,
Seattle division manager for Texaco
Refining and Marketing Inc. “ We hope
our gift to the food bank also raises
awareness for this critical statewide
campaign.”
Texaco is presenting Kenny Ro­
gers and Barbara Mandrell in concert
free to winners of the concert ticket
giveaway by scratch-off game cards
offered at area Texaco stations. (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.
Texaco also invites concert-goers
to bring non-perishable food donations
appropriate for children and their fami­
lies to the concert. The Oregon Food
Bank will have collection points at tow
major Coliseum entrances.
The Oregon Food Bank is a pri­
vate, nonprofit organization serving 19
regional food banks throughout the slate.
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.

Portlanders would stack on a triple
decker cone. “ Folks in Portland may
like to try something new now and
then, but we’ve found they never for­
get the basics,” said Bellach.
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.

When you hear someone sneak­
ing a scoop of ice cream in the middle
of the night, who do you suppose
it is? 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.
When it comes to good old-fash­
ioned ice cream, Portlanders are pretty
traditional. Vanilla, chocolate and
