Hall tries to unseat Fadeley in District 42 rac There are no Republican candidates in District 42. Rep. Nancie Fadeley, D Eugene, the Dist. 42 incumbent, says that if re-elected she would continue her work on environ mental areas relevant to her district and to generally contin ue her work for the citizens of Springfield Fadeley, a 10-year legislative veteran who has served as chairer of the House Environ ment and Emergency commit tee for the past three legislative sessions, says her record shows she represents the citizens. Especially in light of the recession economy, jobs and employment would continue to have a high priority on her legislative agenda, she says. But emphasis must be shifted from ‘‘high technology which destroys jobs” to “people-oriented jobs" such as home industry and job sharing. “People want to work,” she says. "And they should have every opportunity to work — in places besides the forest products industry.” Fadeley, who has recieved the endorsement of several local labor groups, says she would "continue to have a part Nancie Fadeley in shaping Oregon’s Energy policy. The potential for em ployment and improving the job situation is there — if we'll decrease reliance on oil and emphasize alternatives.” "The money we spend abroad for higher and higher priced energy has caused our inflation rate to soar. "The federal government’s ability to handle the energy si tuation doesn’t inspire con fidence, so Oregon’s role is tremendously important," she says. ‘‘Our state’s history is a proud one of showing leader ship in other areas in the past. And our legislation today promoting conservation and the utilization of renewable re sources makes us a leader in energy self-sufficiency.” Fadeley also chides the federal government for failing to establish a national home build ing policy. ‘‘They’ve (the government) relied on the in dustry perspective, not the workers — the person effected by cutoffs, layoffs and housing slumps.” She says voters should view "with alarm anyone who says they can solve the inflation problems.” Peggy Hall, Fadeley's oppon ent, has attacked her for not living within the Springfield boundary. But Fadeley cites her commitment to her constituents as one important reason why she thinks she is the best can didate. "I understand mu con stituents and they have no trou ble communicating with me,” she says.

"This is a contest between Democrats,” she says. “The voters should ensure that a Democrat, a true Democrat, gets the nomination." Hall Springfield needs to be represented by a person who lives in Springfield, says District 42 candidate Peggy Hall. “I live in Springfield. I work in Springfield. I understand the needs of people in Springfield,” Hall says. "I don’t think Nancie (Fadeley, the Dist. 42 incum bent) is in touch with tne people of Springfield.” Hall, who works as a veneer dryer feeder at Rosboro Lumber Co. in Springfield, says inflation and rising unemployment are the biggest problems facing working people. “The area's jobs are solely dependent on the timber in dustry. As a legislator I wouiL work for employment diver sification."

Hall hopes to attract industry that would occupy less space, offer a large number of jobs and have a high employee base. “The area’s livability will be an important factor in attracting industry.” Hall also supports strong en ergy conservation measures, but is not specific about the alternative energy measures she favors. "Clean, safe and affordable energy,” emphaisz ing conservation, “should be the Legislature’s goal.” Hall proposes a system of “rewards” and “penalties” to ensure the participation in con servation programs, but does not specify what this would en tail. Herbicide use is a controver sial area, Hall says. The objec tive is to “have no risk to human life,” but the "industry must be considered.” Hall accuses Fadeley of being “out of touch” with Springfield. “My opponent has been in the legislature for 10 years, and yet her record is undistinguished. Her accomplishments have been few and her representa tion of (Springfield) needs has been indifferent.” Hall also accuses Fadeley of being a one-issue legislator, concentrating on environmental issues rather than the problems which "effect the people." Hall is a member of the Me tropolitan Area Planning Advi sory Committee and president of the Lane County chapter of an organization called Oregon Women for Timber, a pro-in dustry group. Replying to Fadeley’s accu sation that she is Republican and is being financed by the timber industry, Hall says that she’s always been a Democrat, since ‘it’s the party of the peo ple. “My campaign money has come from a variety of people. I’ve received a little money from the timber industry and some from Rosboro, but they realize I favor employment and jobs. And they see that as good for Springfield." Mark Lindb^irg Sor City Council
