Disabled veterans on patrol for handicapped parking violators SAI.KM (AP) — Veterans will begin patrolling this bill for motorists who park in handi capped parking spaces without a permit and will slap violators with Stot) citations. Police usually don't have time to patrol the parking lots, says Dave Parker of the Oregon Para lyzed Veterans of America, so most violators are never caught. The veterans group lobbied the toot Legislature to authorize polit e to train volunteers for the task Volunteers must be screened and take an eight-hour c lass from the Oregon State Police lie fore they are allowed to write tickets "The main thing is, we want them to be able to keep any con flict to a minimum," state police Lt. lack Rogers said. "We don't want n situation where an argu ment ensues or blows are exchanged." Volunteers have been working in Portland. Kugene and south ern Oregon for the past 1H months, and there have been only two minor int idents. Park er said So far, 75 percent of the volunteers are disabled. Once a few tickets are issued in an area, the number of viola tors drops quii klv because of the sizeable fine, which ranges from $100 to $250. Parker said The program also adds to city revenues. In Beaverton, two vol unteers working a total of 30 hours a week generated about $0,000 in fines a month Third attempt to recall Gov. Roberts expected SALEM (AP) — A third attempt to retail Gov. Bar bara Roberts from office will be launched soon, says a Washington County man who was involved in one of the earlier efforts.

Muicahy said at a news conference Monday Roberts said she wouldn't let the prospect of another recall attempt deter her from her efforts to streamline gov ernment. "What people do outside of this process is obviously their right as citizens." she said.
