Discussion to focus on poverty
A panel discussion on “The
Politics of Poverty" will be held
today at noon in the Lane
Unemployment Project office at
979 Willamette St.
The panel will discuss the
policies that affect poverty and
hunger in the community and
nation. Panelists will include
Rep. Iarry Hill, D-Springfield;
Stefan Ostrach, of the lane
County Labor Council; and Rick
Rolf, aide to U.S. Sen. Mark
Hatfield.
The event coincides with
“World Food Day," which
commemorates the founding of
the Food and Agricultural
Organization of the United Na
tions in 1945. A recent FAO
study categorizes 500 million
people in the world as “severe
ly undernourished.”
A free lunch will be served
prior to the panel at 11:30 a.m.
Following the panel, there will
be an open-mike discussion
moderated by City Council
member Cynthia Wooten.
“We meet as a community to
Sierra Club will reward
praise of Reagan record
The Many Rivers Group of the
Sierra Club is offering a reward
to anyone who can say anything
positive about Pres. Ronald
Reagan's environmental record.
The tongue-in-cheek pro
gram, to be held tonight at 7:30
p m. at Harris Hail, 125 E.
Eighth Ave., will allow anyone
to speak for a few minutes on
Reagan's environmental con
tributions, says Jack Desmond,
Sierra Club spokesperson.
“You may wish to tell how
James Watt has protected our
national parks from bears or
how Anne Burford has cleaned
up VVah Chang,” Desmond
says. "Other suitable topics
might include how cutting trees
prevents pollution or how acid
rain clears up lakes of unwanted
trash fish and weeds."
The winner of the contest,
chosen by audience applause,
will receive two Sierra Club
calendars.
A number of local elected of
ficials have been invited to
speak.

Shipping the waste to
another site, however, could be
more hazardous than leaving it
I at the present site, Denham
said.
The federal Environmental
Protection Agency ranked
Teledyne the 116th worst toxic
waste site out of 50,000
throughout the United States.
Marbet said. He called
Teledyne’s "slick presenta
tion" of its case against the
measure "criminal deception.”
“I don’t lie,” Denham
responded. “I think the person
who is actually lying to you is
sitting here at my lett. he said

Passage of the measure
could cause the plant to close
down and cause a loss of jobs,
Denham said. The plant
employs 1,250 people, and
every manufacturing job creates
between three to five other jobs
in the economy, he said.
However, if the plant was
forced to move the waste, the
process of shipping the waste
would create many jobs, Marbet
said. “Studies have shown that
cleaning up the environment
actually creates jobs," he said.
