Pesticides examined as hazards
to health of Oregon farmworkers
FCCKNF (AIM An adviser to California
farm labor leader ( osar Chavez will study the ef
te( ts ot pestir ides on the health of Oregon farm
workers during the next six months
Northwest Treeplanlers and Farmworkers
t luted, w Ini h represents about J,400 of the esti
mated ri(),(MK) farmworkers in the state, plans to
draw up a list of the pestir ides being used and to
(Iik ument physical problems of workers who
work around the i hemii als
I suspei t well find the same pest it ides be
ing used that we've found in California said l)r
Marion Moses who was in the Fugene area on
Monday and Tuesday meeting with union ofli
i nils and farmworkers
Moses was Chavez's physic ian when the la
bur leader went on a Mi day fast in I'lHH to protest
the use ot peslu ides on table grapes and to dram
atize a union boycott started in 1'IH-t
Oregon health offit nils and farmers have said
pestir ides are applied under safe conditions and
that risk to workers is generally minimal
Hut those assertions .ire a matter of opinion.
Moses said Tuesday noting the state's most re
cent pest it ide use estimate is based on informa
tion provided by -to pestir ide dealers not by con
tar ling those who ar linilly applied the inset t and
weird killers
Farmworkers have a light to know ill detail
the risk factors of the chemicals they work
around said Moses a specialist in occupational
medic me who has been working \y 11 h the lulled
I aim Workers I 'nioii m central California since
I‘IH t
I aimwnrkers haven 1 yet made the runner
tioil between illness and use of pestic ides " she
said (then they are lust tedd that the c hemii als
are medic ini* for the crops i toll them it's not
medicine it's poison.''
Oregon union official l.arrv kleinman said
Ins union wants to i reate the safest possible
working conditions for Oregon farmworkers
"It's in the best interest of the growers to
have <t healthy workforce,” he said
Moses said environmental protection of
workers is weak and generally not enforced in
most stales As an example, she noted the re< ent
i onfirmation hv California state health authorities
of the third i luster since l‘tH-4 of childhood can
i it among poor Hispanii farmworkers in a town
where the cancer rate is 1J limes the normal rate
lor towns the same size
Moses said the cases confirm farmworkers
contention that the children are vir tims of ( am er
causing chemicals spraved on grapes and other
i rops
kleinman said calls hv the Oregon farmwork
ers union to negotiate working conditions in re
gard to pest it ide use have been virtually ignored
hv growers
“We've decided we better know lor certain
what we re dealing with before we talk about
those conditions.” he said "Once we know
what's out there, the membership will deride
what needs to he done next "
kleinman said the union mav support a con
sinner boycott of some Oregon crops or call for
bans on some pesticides if doing so appears to be
the only was to protei I the health of workers
Hut again that would he tier ided once we deter
mine what s out there he said
I he union plans to have the study completed
sometime during the 11)90 harvest season, al
though there is no firm timetable kleinman said

After several rounds ol drinks, Dave suggested they return to his apart
ment Kelly agreed feeling fairly drunk and sensing a mutual attraction
The next morning Kelly awoke to find herself in Dave’s bed Fear
overcame her as she began to piece together events after leaving the bar
Dave had given her several more drinks at his place and then began
kissing her The next thing Kelly knew , she was in Dave's bed and he
was struggling to undress her Kelly resisted but quickly gave in to
Dave’s strength
