Portland Area Host Families
Needed For Foreign Teens
Foreign high school students will
be arriving soon into the Portland
area for academic semester and year
homestays, and the sponsoring orga
nization needs a few more local host
families.
According to Pacific Intercultural
Exchange (P.I.E.) Executive direc
tor, John Doty, the students are all
between the ages of 15 and 18 years,
arc English-speaking, have their own
spending money, carry accident and
health insurance, and are anxious to
share their cultural experiences with
their new American families. P.I.E.
currently has programs to match al-
mostevery family’s needs, ranging in
length from a semester to a full aca
demic year, w here the students attend
local high schools.
P.I.E. area representatives match
students with host families by finding
com m on interests and lifestyles
through an informal in-home meet
ing . prospective host fam ilies are able
rr
to review student applications and
select the perfect match. As there are
no “typical” host families, P.I.E. can
fit a student into just about any situa
tion, whether it be a single parent, a
childless couple, a retired couple or a
large family.
Families who host for P.I.E. are
also eligible to claim a $50.00 per
month charitable contribution deduc
tion on their itemized tax returns for
each month they host a sponsored
student.
For the upcom ing program s,
P.I.E . has students from Spain,
germ any, P oland, R ussia, F in
land, A rg en tin a, B razil, C olom
bia, P arag u ay , A u stra lia, New
Z ealan d , C ro atia and many other
co u n tries. P.I.E. has also been in
vited to participate in a special gov
ernment-funded program to bring
scholarship students from the Newly
Independent States of the former So
viet Union to the United States. P.I.E.
is a non-profit educational organiza
tion the has sponsored more than
18,000 students from 23 countries
since its founding in 1975. The orga
nization is designated by the United
States Information Agency and is
listed by the Council on Standards for
International E ducational Travel
(CSIET), certifying that the organi
zation complies with the standards
set forth in C SlET’s Standards for
International Educational Travel Pro

Day-Use Fee
Season Begins
Day-use permits will be required
in 24 Oregon State Parks beginning
May 14.
Daily permits costing $3 or sea
sonal permits at $20 are required
through Sept. 25. The daily permits
are sold at affected parks, either by
staff at an entry booth or dispensed
from a ticket machine that accepts $1
or $5 bills.
The seasonal permit is available
from local private vendors around the
state, as well as all G .1. Joe’s and Wal-
Mart stores. Vendors may charge a
50-cent handling fee. State Parks and
Recreation Department offices and
staffed state park day-use fee areas
and campgrounds with registration
booths will sell the seasonal permit.
A $5 extra vehicle permit may
also be purchased at these locations.
The day-use fee will be charged
seven days a week all hours the af
fected 24 parks are open. “With less
than 10 percent of state general fund
revenue, the Oregon Parks and Rec
reation Department is asking users to
increase their support to maintain
their state parks,” said Bob Meinen,
director.
A current state park campground
receipt will also allow free day-use
access.
M einen encouraged frequent
day-use visitors at these parks to take
advantage of the seasonal permit for
a summer of enjoyment. “We think
these parks offer many recreational
opportunities and a good return on
the $20 investment,” he said.
