ACHIEVE THE DREAM!
"Good News!” is the motto of
Donna Hammond, the first African-
American woman to run for Busi­
ness Manager of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
Union Local 48.
Nationally, African-Americans
are underrepresented in union lead­
ership positions, and Hammond's
campaign, if she is successful, will
represent the first time an African-
American woman has held a top
position in a building trades union.
A Portland native, Hammond was
the youngest of five children horn
into a working class family. Her
parents and grandmother migrated
to Oregon in the 1940's from Arkan-

Dear Maria:
Y ou’re a star struck groupie in

gets tired, h e’ll drop you like a
ho, coal and m ove on to another
woman. If he sincerely cared
there w ouldn’t be any feelings o f
disrespect, ridicule or one-sided
criticism. You need to take the
risk and tell him how you feel and
that you w o n 't tolerate his treat­
ment. If h e’s w illing to heed
your advice th a t's a good thing.
If he turns out to be a pig then
realize he doesn’t give a damn
and keep it moving.

two things we must give our chil­

wings.’ I raised my son to believe
that faith, family, friends, educa­

for a better life. That’s the way it
was for me and my son, and I want

better for his children and genera­

Yearning for a Family
Justin and Breeanna are an
adorable sibling pair who are sim­
ply yearning for an adoptive fam­
ily to bring them home.
Despite having experienced a
great deal of loss and change, this
brother and sister are very at­
tached to one another, and seem
to attach readily and easily to the
adults that come into their lives.
Having suffered early neglect,
both Justin and Breeanna have
some cognitive and developmen­
tal delays that are currently being
addressed through early interven­
tion and Head Start.
Justin and Breeanna need a
very enriching environment where
they can catch up on the love,
guidance and nurturing which
they have missed out on. De­
spite their delays, both children
are curious about the world and
eager to explore. An adoptive
family will enjoy the rewards and
challenges o f sharing in the
growth, loving and learning of
these sweet siblings.
These children are among
the approxim ately 300 Oregon
children available foradoption
through the state, generally be­
cause of abuse and neglect.

to become a foster or adoptive
parent, co n tact the Special
Needs Adoption Coalition at

of Human Services at 1-800-
