Move to Heron Lakes may save
Stockyard Exchange Bulling

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. Cole Miller was recently
awarded a scholarship to study Pre-
President Clinton
