3100 Block SW Macadam Avenue
On Monday, June 7, 1993 at ap
proximately 2:15 am 9-1-1 dispatch
ers received a call from a person iden
tifying himself as a Broadway Cab
driver regarding a motorcyclist who
had been involved in an accident in
the 3100 block of SW Macadam Av
enue, near the downtown on ramp
Upon the arrival of officers and medi
cal personnel they found the motorcy
clist at the scene, with his helmet
cracked The motorcyclist, Peter An
drew Costanzo DOB 5-12-72, was
lertie’s Child Care Center
Bertie was a day care provider for
23 years. In the 1970’s. She was a day
care provider of A.M. A. day and night
care. She did day care for them for
about 10 years and another 13 years for
C h ild re n S e rv ic e s. She sta rte d
babysitting in her home and her dream
was to open up a day care center. In
September of 1992 Bertie, opened a
day care center here in Portland, O r
egon located at 2717 NE 27th Broad
way. As long as I have been here I
didn’t know that the daycare business
was a hard business to get into. I have
had problems with Children Services
trying to have my business meet their
standard for Children Services. Hav
ing a day care center is more than just
loving children and taking care of
children. It takes money which we
didn ’ t have. We had to go in debt to get
the business running and yet needed
money and still trying to carry the
business on because there arc parents
out there that need day care and not
able to afford it. So with the help of the
Lord and your help w e’re going to try
to keep our doors open for the children
that need us and the parents too. I
found out that the day care center
needed teachers even though they don’t
have the love for children. For each
group, infant, toddler and preschool
n
transported to University Hospital
where he later died
Fatal Traffic Investigators believe
that Costanzo had just left a bar in the
Johns Landing area in SW Portland,
where he had been drinking with a
second person Costanzo apparently
left the bar with the man, who was
driving a rose colored 1986 Honda
Accord Shortly after leaving the bar
Costanzo lost control of his motor
cycle and collided with an abutment.
Investigators believethe man, who
has been identified, in the Honda Ac
cord may have been following or trav
eling alongside Costanzo, who was
ridingablack 1981 Yamaha Maxima.
Traffic Investigators have attempted
to locate the original complainant who
reported the accident w ithout success.
Investigators would like to question
the complainant who identified him
self as a Broadway Cab driver. Inves
tigators would also like to speak with
anyone who may have seen or wit
nessed anything prior to Costanzo’s
accident.
Any one with information which
they feel may be helpful to this inves
tigation. please call. Fatal Traffic In
vestigator, Randy T ucker at (502) 823-
2140. The investigation is continu
ing.

United Way Agencies Begin
New Evaluation Project
United Way of the Columbia-
Willamclte has invested $40,000 in a
pilot project that will change the way
member agencies evaluate their ser
vices This 12-month program will
test an ex aluation model developed by
the organization's Outcome Evalua
tion Com m ittee over the las, 18
months
This model places an emphasis
on measurable improvements in cli
ents' liv es, not solely on the number of
people served Because agencies will
have custom-designed evaluation
plans, they will end up with docu
mented evidence of the help they pro
vide to this community
Six United Way member agen
cies have volunteered their involve
ment with the pilot program includ
ing The Boys and Girls Aid Society of
'?«
Oregon. Epilepsy Association of O r
egon, Neighborhood Health Clinics
Inc. Oregon Council on Crime and
Delinquency, Portland Area Council
of Camp Fire, and Volunteers of
America
The funding will cover the cost of
training United Way and agency staff
involved with the project, including a
session on working with multi-cul
tural agencies; technical assistance
and other training materials for agency
and United Way staff. and the hiring
of an independent ev aluator to exam
ine the implementation of the process
and dcliv cr an evaluation of the model
itself
Camp Fire's Hispanic Group Pro
gram in Washington and Multnomah
counties will take part in the pilot
project Program leaders will be in-
volved in evaluating their scviccs to
measure the changes in the behav ior
of the children who participate in
these programs
"We're v cry concerned about how
successful we arc in the difference
we're making with the kids We need
a way to measure our programs. It's
important to know we're on the right
track with the youth,” said Maggie
Stone, Camp Fire's executive direc
tor "We need a way to test the pro
grams to say we're making a differ
ence, the behaviors arc changing and
that self-esteem is growing in the
children who receive services
The money for the outcome evalu
ation model came from United Way 's
reserve fund, which was generated
through sav ings in the organization’s
1992 operating budget
