Ten Community Leaders Honored:
Kick Off For A Peaceful Summer
Several non-profit organizations
and individuals in Portland have spent
a lifetim e trying to save our inner-city
youth without recognition, fanfare or
support. Through the efforts o f the
Northeast Health Resource Center and
the Police Activities League, and the
generosity o f the Multnomah Athletic
Foundation and the Multnomah A th
letic Club, ten community leaders were
honored at a first-ever Portland Inner
City Youth Alliance: Unsung Heroes
banquet, May 21, 1993, 6:30 p.m. at
the M A C.
The honorees include:
• W illiam Stoudamire - People Are
Beautiful
• Anthony Stoudamire - Portland
Youth Football
• Charlie Stoudamire - Youth Basket
ball
• Kevin Modica - Police Activities
League
• Lee Jenkins - Portland Parks Bureau
and Police Activities League
• Robert Richardson - Portland Youth
Redirection
• Sister Mays - Wings o f Love
• David Jackson - Campfire Gang
Peace Program
• A li Muhammad - Northeast Health
ResourceCenterandUniversal Acad
emy o f Self Defense
• Greg Barton - Multnomah Athletic
Director
These unsung heroes offer hope
and an example that livin g and grow
ing up in poor economic conditions
does not mean the end, but rather a
road to follow for success in any en
deavor. “ We are trying to send a strong
message that community unity is the
only way we can make a difference
w ith our present and our future,” said
Maura White, PAL Executive Direc
tor. “ We a ll need to educate, motivate,
organize and mobilize.”
In addition to seeing their com
munity leaders, the youth were ex
posed to the Multnomah Athletic Club,
a club steeped in athletic tradition sim i
lar to the athletic traditions o f a core
group o f dedicated coaches and former
student-athletes from the North/North-
east community. The common athletic
thread, and the bridge o f a dinner
whose focus is on volunteers and youth,
pulled us all together by recognizing
o u r s im ila ritie s as w e ll as our
diversity.’’This banquet signified the
efforts o f unsung heroes in our com
m unity who have worked tirelessly
w ith youth,” said Aleem Shabazz,
Executive Director o f the Northeast
Heath Resource Center. “ The theme o f
unsung heroes represents men and
women who live in the community and
who have demonstrated their unselfish
desire to help youth. These people may
not be on the cover o f any news maga
zine, but they are committed to com
munity development.’
Event emcees were Michael Grice
and Claxton Welch o f the W orld Arts
Foundation. The invocation was given
by Imam M ikal Shabazz, Muslim Com
munity Center, and the benediction
was given by pastor Denise Bell,
M allory Avenue Christian Church.

Secretary o f Labor Robert Reich
said today that the Clinton Adm inis
tration would be developing a com
prehensive worker retraining program
but stopped short o f specifics in terms
o f Northwest timber workers.
Reich was responding to ques
tions from Senator M ark Hatfield at a
hearing before a Senate Appropria
tions subcommittee on Labor, Health,
and Human Services.
The Clinton Adm inistration has
proposed an increase in funding for
dislocated workers next year but
Hatfield said he was concerned that
the enactment o f needed reforms in
the program was not likely this year.
He also questioned Reich on whether
his proposal would include needs-
based payments to individuals.
Reich said the Department o f
Labor would be submitting a compre
hensive worker adjustment program
to address the needs o f dislocated
workers that would merge several
existing programs. He said he recog
nized the problem in the Pacific North
west but made no commitments in
terms o f specific targets for dislocated
timber workers.
“ Under this new program, dislo
cated workers w ill receive tim ely ac
cess to an enriched array o f basic
adjustment services such as labor
market information, career counsel
ing, and job search assistance; train
ing i f it is needed, and income support,
Reich said.”
Hatfield said he was concerned
about the level o f training programs
for Northwest timber workers and
urged Reich to consider those workers
in communication w ith the plan being
developed for President Clinton after
the Forest Summit in Portland.
“ I am concerned about the ad
equacy o f retraining programs for dis
located forest products workers in the
Pacific Northwest,” H atfield told
Reich. “ W hile solutions to the emer
gency in the forests continue to be
debated, timber-related employment
levels remain the lowest in recorded
history.”
