Mrs. Oregon America
1998-Sandra Lee
Herder
C ontinued F rom F ront
Two yea.., oack Sandra was in an
automobile accident on her way to
work. "Surviving a traumatic car ac
cident where injuries o f a five inch
laceration were across my face, my
family, friends and the Lord helped
me through these rocky times. It has
been healing and meaningful to share
with others. Part o f my life’s philoso
phy is to count your blessings and
continue to move forward with a
positive attitude and perseverance.
Sandra will be competing in the
Mrs. America pageant in Las Vegas,
Nevada this coming August. This
years pageant is Nationally televised
August 10th. The Mrs. America pag
eant is in its 22nd year and high lights
the contemporary American wi fe with
her achievements in her strength and
inspiration to the family unit, her
pursuit o f excellence, as well as her
inner and outer beauty.

children live next door to the struc

Youth and Family Services o f the
Urban League o f Portland and a rec
ognized leader in Northeast Port
land. “I grew up in northeast Port
land, this is my home, I did not want
to give in to the intimidation o f grow
ing crime in our community, some
thing had to be done. This is an
excellent example o f how citizens in
our city can work together with law
enforcement and the Mayor’s office
to take back our neighborhoods.
Team work and commitment really
works and will continue to work if
the media helps us to illustrate the
successes we have in the northeast
community. My elderly grandfather
lives with us. He worked until he was
eighty-two years old. He deserves
seme peace and quiet and the chil
dren in this community have the right
to play outside. Our neighborhood
has been under siege for the past four
years. Tonight we are going to cel
ebrate!”
Stockyards Exchange
Building Move Takes
Step Forward
C ontinued F rom F ront
tion Plan adds that the first story is
the least historically or architectur
ally significant part o f the building.
With eight foot ceilings and housing
utility and service facilities, it was
“essentially an above-ground base
ment,” he says. “We can construct an
exact duplicate, with ten foot ceil
ings, for less than the cost o f mov
ing,” he says.
Not that this will be cheap. Ac
cording to Myers-Eatwell, Friesen’s
first estimate o f the moving cost is
$1.4-1.5 million, up from an earlier
guess o f $.6 to 1.2 million. However,
the new estimate, and a projected $3
million for renovation and conver
sion on site, would still be less than
the $5-6 million the bureau proposed
to spend for a smaller facility.
The 1916 building was once the
headquarters of the Swift meat pack
ing company operations, which de
veloped most o f the Kenton neigh
borhood as a company town.

clothes policeman who observed
the entire drama. Noticing how upset
she was, he followed her to her car,
and told her that she had been dis
criminated against. He gave her his
number in case she needed a witness.
InMarch, 1997, the complainant filed
with the bureau alleging race dis
crimination in public accommoda
tion. The plainclothes policeman later
testified at the administrative hear
ing in April, 1998.
In the Final O rder, the com m is
sioner writes that the battle against
race discrimination has been on the
“ front line o f civil rights. Discrimi
nation in public accommodation im
pairs a person’s right to move about
freely in society and to be recog
nized thereby as a part o f his or her
community.” The bureau receives
an average o f 2,200 complaints of
discrimination per year. Only 2 per
cent o f these are public accommo
dation complaints; the others are
com plaints o f discrim ination in
employment.
