Number of AIDS patients to rise
By Kim Challis-Rotti
for ev> Oregon Dmty fmtvaki
Doctors at the National Centers ior Disease Con
trol predict 100.000 new AIDS cases will be diag
nosed this year.
Almost 205.000 men and women have died
from MIV/AIDS-related causes since the epidemic
hit the United States in 1981. including more than
1,300 deaths reported in Oregon
Hut Acorn House, a local foster care home for
HIV-positive men and women, receives no federal,
slate or county funds, said its administrator. Fames
Phelps.
"Although AIDS has reached epidemic propor
tions," Phelps said, "all our money comes from
grants, donations, insurance claims and fund-rais
ers."
Phelps hopes today's World AIDS Day will help
fix us on the necessity of increased AIDS funding.
Acorn House will receive proceeds from the
"Light Up a Life” program, a benefit enabling fieo
ple to sponsor a light on a special tree in remem
brance of a friend or loved one lost to AIDS.
Acorn House, which opened in Eugene last
November, has housed 21 clients Ten of those
original (lients died in the house
A few were homeless, Phelps said, but others
were just lievond their family's ability to take (.are
of them medically or financially.
But Phelps said he doesn't want the public to
think of Acorn House as only n plat e to die.
It is a place for friendship and support for any
one with HIV." Phelps said, and many people
come here to battle the worst part of a particular
ailment and go home again.''
Phelps said one client stayed for six months to
l>e near friends in Eugene, though his parents lived
in Koseburg, the site of another foster care facility.
Events scheduled for World AIDS Day, sponsored
by the Community AIDS Consortium, include:
• A noon rally at Hth Avenue and Oak Street,
featuring Cynthia Wooten, state representative;
Paul Nicholson. Eugene c ity councilman; and Jerry
Rust. I-ane County commissioner. There will also

tion Theater, a group of lcx.al high students.

Street in Eugene), followed by a march to Valley
River Inn, 1000 Valley River Way. Candles will be
provided for those unable to supply their own.

In addition to financial contri
butions. women standing up to
Packwood's sexual misconduc t
need continued verbal support
from men and women so they
can become confidant that peo
ple believe their stories, said
Portland consultant Julie
Williamson, one of the first
women to accuse Pack wood of
sexual harassment in The
Washington host .
"It's breaking the code of
silence that allows people to
believe ear h other. ' Williamson
said.
Williamson said she was sex
ually harassed by Pack wood in
1969 while working on his cam
paign in Portland. Packwood
kissed her on the back of the
neck, then chased her into a
bac k officer where her stood on
her feet and grabbed at her
clothes.
Williamson and Hutton said
they felt hurt and betrayed by
Packwood. but agree that com
ing forward has heightened
national awareness about sexual
harassment Hv facing their
fears, the two women say they
are helping others gain the

to help raise money for the lawyers of women who have accused Ore
gon Senator Bob Pack wood of sexual misconduct
courage lo speak out against sex
ual misconduct.
"1 have two girls. I would love
for them to know its OK to stand
up and speak out," Hutton said.
Oregonians for Ethical Repre
sentation is working with a
national coalition of 72 support
groups to pressure on the Senate
Ethics Committee to speed up
tin* legal process so the 29
women can speak at a public
hearing and Packwood can be
removed from office.
‘‘This is noi an Oregon issue,"
said Jeanette Fruen, an activist
for the coalition. “ The issue is
sexual misconduct at the highest
levels of our government."
Williamson and Hutton are
asking people in all states to call
or write their senators and
request open hearings for the
sexual misconduct charges.
