Safety: Private policing proves
successful in neighborhood
■ Continued from Page 1
Sherman Smith, a resident from
the 11th Avenue and Olive Street
area, told the crowd that his neigh
borhood formed a private policing
network to better deal with crime
issues.
He said many residents from his
neighborhood used to want to
move out because of the increas
ing crime, but since they have in
stituted private policing, things
have changed.
“They [citizen police] work as
the eyes and ears of our neighbor
hood,” he said.
He said the “grass-roots” ap
proach of the neighborhood has
gained a high amount of involve
ment, and he urged other neigh
borhoods to institute similar
policing programs.
The town hall discussion is one
of seven meetings that are taking
place throughout the city during
the month of October.
The premises for Tuesday’s
town hall and the six other discus
sions were reviewed by city offi
cials at an Oct. 1 city council meet
ing.
In that meeting, Eugene Chief of
Police Leonard Cooke briefed the
council on the Community Polic
ing Action Plan and the subse
quent town hall discussions,
which will define and identify
specific community policing ac
tions that the Eugene police De
partment will undertake during
the next two years.
According to Fred Wilson, a
spokesman for the city of Eugene,
the meetings will serve as plat
form for the community and po
lice to discuss crime problems and
the beats officers patrol in their
neighborhoods.
He also said the ultimate out
come from these meetings will be
realized when the city’s action
planning team reviews the com
ments from the town hall discus
sions and makes a suggestion to
the city manager for further city
council review in December.
Act: Report focuses on survival
* Continued from Page 1
Act success stories, such as the
bald eagle and the gray wolf,
whose populations climbed.
They also stressed the impor
tance of habitats and species to
human survival. Ogle said the re
port focuses on how each species
needs its own unique habitat to
survive.
“By issuing this report, we’re
asking America to take notice,"
he said.
Phyllis Weare, a member of
Living in Harmony, said there are
a growing number of Christians
who are getting involved.
“There is a verse in the Bible
which says that God gave hu
mans dominion over the earth.
He meant we were to take care of
it, like a hired hand, while giving
glory to the owner,” she said.
While the bill, proposed by
Sen. Kempthorne, R-Idaho, has
gained some support, Ogle said
there is plenty of opposition in
Congress.
In the House, George Miller,
D-Calif., has introduced the En
dangered Species Recovery Act
of 1997, a bipartisan proposal
which would strengthen the cur
rent Endangered Species Act by
providing tax incentives for good
stewardship focusing on region
al planning for habitat protec
tion.
Although Ogle thinks it is nec
essary to exploit natural re
sources to some extent, he be
lieves respect for the land is vital.
“We need to stop mindlessly
acquiring more wealth and start
caring about the species,” he
said.
