Porter plaque displayed in Peru (Tribune photo by Ann Hubbard) Pavilion dedicated PERU, Ind. The Cole Porter Pavilion was dedicated recently by the Ole Olsen Memorial Town Peru group "in remembrance of Cole Porter and his gift to the world of music." The pavilion was built behind the Peru Depot which sits at the southeast corner of Broadway and Canal streets.

The octagon-shaped was built to honor the famous songwriter, Cole Porter, who was born in Peru June 9 1891. The floor of the pavilion actually stretches 20 feet across, and it has Jbout a 5 and one-half foot overhang all the way around, making the ceiling about 30 feet across. A large rock marker next to the pavilion holds a bronze plaque with the above words engraved on it. Jim Walker, Ole Olsen president, introduced all those involved with the construction of the pavilion during the dedication. Also making a brief statement at the event was Porter's cousin, James O.

Cole. Other members of the Porter family also were present at the ceremony. The pavilion will be available for rental along with the Depot. For more information contact Walker at 473-9742. AIDS mothers seeking new families for children By JENNIFER DIXON Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) A young mother with AIDS has one desperate hope before she dies: finding a family to adopt her son and daughter.

"This is the hardest thing I've ever done," she said. "I thought finding out I had HIV was hard. But it's nothing compared to this at them every day and not knowing how much time I have with them, knowing they're going to be with someone else, not being able to watch them grow up. With the help of an experimental program here, she's looking for strangers who will open their hearts to her children, who'll give them the love they will need to grieve her death. The 26-year-old mother agreed to talk about her search but insisted her identity be kept secret.

She said she turned to Second Family, a project of Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, because her own mother is too frail to care for her 9-year- old daughter and 7-year-old son. Neither child is infected with the HIV virus. But her son was born sickly, is slow in school and needs extra attention. One brother refused to take them, she said, and another is too immature. "I'm looking for someone I can feel comfortable with, who my children feel comfortable with.

People who are caring and loving and will do the right thing by my kids," said the mother. "This organization is a godsend. You get to choose the people you want to be a parent." Begun this the Second Family demonstration project not only recruits adoptive families and guardians in Chicago for parents with AIDS who have no one to care for their children. The project, which gets part of its funding from the federal government, also helps establish legal arrangements for families who choose a friend or relative on their own. So far, Second Family has helped several parents who already had chosen adoptive families and is trying to find new homes for about 40 children ranging in age from 2 to 15 from more than a dozen other families.

In the process, the agency must negotiate complicated and sometimes controversial questions of race, sex and drug abuse. That's a new role for Lutheran Social Services, a child welfare agency established during a cholera epidemic 125 years ago. "They're pioneering," said David S. Liederman, executive director of the Child Welfare League of America. "We're in unknown territory." At least 4,750 women in Chicago have the HIV virus and more than 80 percent of them have at least one child, according to the Families' and Children's AIDS Network, a Chicago-based organization.

Most of the women are single, black or Hispanic, and most of their 9,500 children are not thought to be infected with HIV. Charlotte and Ted Sternemann Sternemann Ted and Charlotte Sternemann, 3713 Tally Ho Drive, celebrated 40 years of marriage at a family party in New Berlin, Wise.
