Roberts’ office gets calls on ad
SALIM (API — Gov Bar
bara Roberts' office was
flooded with phone <alls
Monday from people
responding to a newspaper
ad critical of double murder
er Kussell Uhremsfu s release from prison
The ad. which was sponsored by (lie National
Rifle Association and appeared in Sunday news
papers. urged people to call the governor's office
to protest Obremski's parole in Novemlwr

A receptionist in the governor's offii e. Barbara

"Most of them wanted to know why we did it."
Mores s.nd. referring to the state Parole Board's
decision last summer to release Ob rein ski over the
protests of relatives of his victims
The newspaper ad urged people to complain to
former Parole Hoard < hairman Danny Santos,
who s now tin- governor's top lawyer
Santos said the NRA is looking for a m apogoat in
the case and that the Parole Hoard had no chon e
• lint to release t thremski after he ns eived a positive
psychological evaluation.
"There was no meiiUon of the legal process that
the Iwiard was required to follow at the tune," San
tos said of the NRA advertisement
Hut a spokeswoman at the NRA's headquarters
in Fairfax, Va . called that a "cop out "
I hey could have asked for another psyi holog

NRA It seems to me to t>e very strange that so< i

Metaksa said the Obremski case caught the
NRA's attention after CBS-TV aired an episode of
4H Hours" featuring Obremski.
"loiter one of my staffers came to me and said.
Remember that guy Obremski? He sodomized and
sexually assaulted a 4-year-old ' And that's when I
authorized the ad." she said
Although Republican gov ernor candidate Denny
Smith has repeatedly critii ized the de< iston to set
Obremski free, Metaksa said the NRA's ad was not
designed to help Smith's campaign.
Rather, she said, it was aimed at plugging a pro
posed "three strikes and you're out" measure to
keep repeat violent felons behind bars that likely
will he on Oregon's general election ballot in
November
"Obremski is a brutal rapist and murderer," she
said "We have to point out to people that unless
we fix the system, these kinds of criminals will
lie free to roam our streets.”
Obremski served 24 years in prison for the Feb
ruary 1969 slayings of l.avernu May Lowe and Het
ty Ann Ritchie in Medford
His release was originally scheduled for 1969.
but it was postponed five times as relatives of his
victims mounted a campaign to keep him behind

Still fighting the $‘K).(too fine
from those alleged violations
Bruce Howard, hazardous
waste supervisor for IXJE's East

Washington Chemical has
ignored too many rules for too
long. He also said the company
doesn't set aside enough money
for cleanup, creating a potential
for contamination of land or
water
The agency has no vendetta
against Herron. Howard said.
"1 can understand he doesn't

or us personally, but that doesn’t
change our approach. " he said.
Herron, who studied chemical
engineering at Conxaga Univer

Chemical in 1984. maintains the
alleged violations are either
vastly exaggerated or false He
says regulators target him with
inflated penalties because he
dares to challenge their conclu

He says he has spent more
than $100,000 in legal costs to
fight the penalties, and will not
dose shop or file for bankrupt

"All I've been focusing on is
winning, because I know I'm
right." ho said.
