Project cares for folks with ‘friends’
By Jacqueline Woge
Emerald Reporter
Susannah Moinlngor, a junior In exercise and
movement science. hud a had lower back Injury
and noudad help wilh actlvltloa that she could
normally do alone, such as shopping for grocer
ies One friend suggested she call Project Care
Projtx t (4ire connected Molnlnger with various
trained volunteers who would write down a
shopping list at Melnlnger's phone cull and then
deliver the purchases lo her kitchen table
Although Moinlngor still has trouble with her
back, she already plans to give support back to
the community by volunteering for Project Care
or for another crisis support group, such as White
Bird.
For people like Moinlngor, who uro faced with
a physical limitation or other situations that are
difficult to manage alone. Project (litre provides
trained "friends."
Founded In 1U83. Project Cairo is a consortium
of local congregations that trains and supports
teams of volunteer caregivers all around Lane
County Half of the 60-hour training program
teaches people communications skills and how to
help others with death and dying, grief and can
cer During the other half of the Instruction, mem
bers of the community share information with
tralnoes.
After training, volunteers help people in crisis,
advocate for them or link them with other ser
vices Those receiving help have come from pop
ulation groups ranging from students to senior
citizens, and the unemployed to the terminally
ill.
Project Carr's services aro also strictly confi
dential. Names am nover released except with
permission as was given by Moiningor. During fis
cal year 1991 -92, the group gave l£t>57 hours of
service to 2,452 people
“We've been told that ono of the host things
that Project Care does is just be there for people,"
said Project Care coordinator Snkre Edson.
Ono senior citizen had a doctor who hardly
spoke to her until she had a Project Cure volun
teer sit quietly with her during a visit. The doctor
then answered all the woman's questions and
spoke with her throughout the appointment.
Project Care is set apart from most other local
care providers by the number of paid staff posi
tions that It supports; one person ut 10 hours a
week All the rest of the consortium’s staff of
•bdtat 200 is volunteer
"Often people will call because we’re just peo
ple, we're not an agency," Edson said.
Project Care survives with grants and benefit
events, a funding method tapped just this yoar.
The group's third benefit, initiated by Project
Care board member. Jim Lockard, will take place
Saturday, Oct It from l> to 11 p.m. at the Econo
Lodge off interstate-5 at Coburg.
If Meiningor could have it her way, there would
be no need for this event, or for the volunteer ser
vices shu received.
"I think the government should bo doing this
type of thing. That's what we pay tuxes for. That's
the purpose of government," she said.

Mubon formed the Oregon
Citizens Alliance in 1987 to
promote right-wing politics and
what it called traditional family
values.
The group scored its first vic
tory In 1988 when it forced a
statewide vote in which Oregon
residents repealed an axocutivo
order by Gov. Neil Gold
schmidt to protect homosexuals
from discrimination In state
government.
In 1990, the alliance played a
spoiler's role in the governor's
race by helping to defeat the
Republican frontrunner, former
Attorney General Dave Frohn
mayor. whom the (X’A doomed
to be too liberal.

won the election with 46 per
cent of the vote.
None of those efforts gained
nearly as much publicity as
Measure 9, the (X’A's proposed
constitutional amendment to
prohibit govurnmont from pro
moting or facilitating homosex
uality.
Under the measure, schools
and other units of government
would bo required to convey to
youths that homosexuality is
“abnormal, wrong, unnatural
and perverse.''
Mabon insists that Measure 9
isn't a personal attack on ho
mosexuals. Rather, he said, it’s
aimed at blocking efforts by
militant homosexuals to
achieve legal minority status.
"The homosexual communi
ty has launched an internation
al effort to gain its political
goals," he said. "The Measure 9
campaign draws a line in the
sand that says, ‘No more.' ”
Tho campaign has enorgized
the OCA and brought in a lot of
campaign money from around
the country. Mabon said.
“The OCA is growing every
year,” he said. "We're going to
be a million-dollar operation,
budget-wise, by the end of this
year ”

Perot even aftnr he originally
withdrew because she be
lieves ho’s the best man to do
the job.
“I'm going to stay with him
to the bitter end," she said.
"His idea also was to try to
gel one person or the other,
or both of them to work on
the issues that concern the
people.”
Although supporters were
disappointed when Perot
said ho wouldn't run for
president, Mason said she is
sure that they'll remain loyal.
“I think you'd be surprised
at the people who come back
to him," she said.
