Move to Heron Lakes may save Stockyard Exchange Bulling C ontinued F rom F ront ridiculous," Zoller says. "Then 1 looked in a golf magazine and saw exactly that kind o f lodge at some Scottish courses.” The Parks Bureau had already planned to spend $5 million to build a 15,000 square foot facility at Heron Lakes, he says, although they hadn’t planned to do so this year. An essential firs, step is a $77,000 feasibility study. The city is willing to put up half the money, Zol ler says, but wants to “align ourselves with a partner.” Harsch is willing to ad vance part o f what they’ve already pledged toward a move, but only if they’re assured ofgetting their money back if the move doesn’t take place. Given the time necessary for the study and the move, "Time is running out," Myers-Eatwell says. Moreover, there are few alternatives. TheColum- bia Slough dike precludes transporting the structure by barge, and a narrow underpass on Marine Drive precludes any move to the west, he says. The exchange is one o f the rem nants o f the Swift Packing Company operation, original developer o f the Kenton neighborhood. Its 3400 acres were the "central point for meat trad ing in the far west,” Myers-Eatwell says. I, no, only provided jobs for 1500 workers, but housing as well in a planned company town. The fake stone facades o f that era can be seen today in the Kenton Hotel, Kenton Apartments and many sm allerbuild- ings as well as the exchange. The latter also boasts mosaic tile tloors, carved stone staircases and other features “like you d o n ’, see anymore," Myers-Eatwell says. " It’s worth the trouble to save it." Benson Students Choose To Give C o rre la te d to his peers a genuine desire to give back to the comm uni,y and serve the needy as inspired by M ariah’s example. The student body and administra tion a, Benson High School took C ole’s proposal to heart and agreed to give their financial support. C ol lec tiv e ly , th ey d ecided to take theremaining fund-raising proceeds and donate it to Mariah T aylor’s clinic. "I think it is great. It makes me so proud o f my son (Cole) for recogniz- ing when people are doing good things and rewards them for it,” ex pressed Larry Miller. The students’ choice to give, was a grand show o f selflessness and re sponsiveness to the needs o f the com- munity. In short, Mariah called it “commendable." Additional credit is given to the following students for their generous co n trib u tio n s: K atie H arbaugh, Jam es N ussbaum er and Jennifer McBride.
