Fasting: Local teens join
strike efforts for weekend

more than IS local high school
students joined them in their
hunger strike to oppose togging
without laws Braving night
time temperatures in the lower
10s and frequent rainfall during
the day. the students said they
would stay in support of the
strike until classes resumed
Monday
"We believe in what we re
doing, so it's worth it." said Lau
rel Rose, 1ft. ''! hope i( makes a
statement that anyone and
everyone can join in and that
this is a message lo continue the
cause."
Molly Keogh. 15. said she
joined the strike because she
believes it symbolizes what has
lawn hap|tening recently through
out the timber industry. "We con
sume food mindlessly, and that is
what is happening to our forests."
she said "They’re being logged
mindlessly and the consequences
aren't lieing thought about ”
Hunger strikes such as this
and other forms of protest are
increasing throughout the Pat if

from an emergency timber sal
vage rider signed into law by
President Clinton last July con*

budget-cutting bill approved bv
Congress, exempts certain sal
vage projects from major envi

Environmental Protection Act
and has plat ed a sharp splinter

will resort lo civil disobedience
if needed to slop loggers from
entering the site. Their concern
is that allowing salvage logging
in the 9.000-acre fire area will
one on rage arsonists to set more
fires ns a wav of getting more
timber to area mills. As it stands
now . the Forest Service has yet
to cross the activists' camp.
Although he declined to say
whether he would participate in
civil disobedience acts himself,
Wilson said he neither condones
or condemns them but would
likely end the hunger strike
within the next day or two.
"I see this hunger strike as
actually being the highest and
strongest form of disobedience
against a law that destroys nil
remaining am ient forests,” Wil
son said. "But since 1 no longer
have any body fat left, it's time
to say my health is at risk and to
end the hunger strike.”
Regardless of where they go
next. Wilson and Ream say they
will continue to spread their
views on current forestry issues
and will work to get student
groups from other states to form
a national campaign protesting
logging from (.oast to coast
"This isn't just an Oregon
problem anymore," Wilson said.
"It's now a nationwide prob
lem."
