But at 7:30 a.m. today McLaver
ty will be sweeping down the
“magically” suspended currency
to be donated in full to the Emer
ald Valley Special Olympics pro
gram. In addition, the establish
ment’s owner, Patty McCall, will
match dollar for dollar the amount
collected toward the donation.
This is only one in a series of
fund-raising events the Irish
themed bar near the Lane Commu
nity College campus has teamed
up with local charities to host.
Choosing the Special Olympics for
this project was a simple choice for
McLaverty, who performed simi
lar magic for kids groups in Corval
lis last year as manager of Kells
Irish Restaurant and Pub.
“I guess I have a soft spot for the
kids,” he said. “We sponsored a
golf tournament last year too, and
that was a lot of fun.”
This single donation is only the
kick-off, however, for an even
more generous gesture by the Blar
neystone, as it will also donate a
portion of all proceeds from its
two-day St. Patrick’s Day festival
celebration March 17 and 18.
The festival will feature several

tian because it’s so hard to fight all
the misinformation.”
There’s no debate in the medical
community that these diets will
initially help a person lose weight,
but keeping it off for the long haul
is another matter.
“People can lose weight on
them,” Fahlstrom said. “It takes
away the food group that people
have a hard time controlling—the
carbohydrates.”
She said, however, that the
weight that’s lost is water weight,
which is easily regained.
“If people need to lose weight,
they have to learn to make changes
in their eating habits,” Fahlstrom
said. “High-protein diets don’t
tend to promote that.”
Kristen Olmos, a health educa
tor in the University Health Cen
ter, said there are some potential
long-term health risks associated
with following the high-protein
diets, such as kidney problems
and a higher risk of osteoporosis.
And because the diets promote
eating many foods that are high in

different Irish beers as well as
some rousing bagpipe music from
the Highland pipers. Advance
tickets for the “Eugene Irish Festi
val” can be purchased through
Ticketmaster or the restaurant it
self, and McLaverty promises they
will be worth every cent.
As public relations intern for
Special Olympics, Julirose Schaf
gans helped organize the fund
raising activities with McLaverty,
and she said the money will be
used for equipment, uniforms,
practice space rentals and travel
expenses. More than 700 individ
uals benefit from the Emerald Val
ley program that serves Lane, Linn
and Benton counties. Special
Olympics in Oregon boasts some
5,000 participant athletes
statewide.
“We rely on donations such as
these in order to provide sports ac
tivities year-round,” Schafgans
said.
Sports Coordinator Donna
Ayres said a recent tournament
trip to Ashland in which 14 bas
ketball teams played cost more
than $8,000 in transportation and
lodging alone.
“When a community business
says it will do something like this
it makes it so much easier because
we have to pound the pavement for

“We couldn’t exist without it.”
cholesterol, following it could
raise a dieter’s risk of some heart
related diseases, Olmos said.
“Most of those diets are up to 50
percent fat, so it’s almost better to
call them ‘high-fat diets,”’ Olmos
said. “It’s been well-documented
that following those diets can lead
to cardiovascular disease.”
Olmos listed several fad diets,
including The Zone, Sugarbusters
and Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolu
tion, which she said all promoted
unhealthy diet ratios of carbohy-.
drates, fats and protein. Carbohy
drates are the muscle’s preferred
source of energy, she said, and the
only source of energy for your
brain.
The major concern with the
high-protein diets is that though
the diet has been around for years
in various forms, there haven’t
been any long-term studies on its
effects, said Dr. Gerald Fleischli,
UHC director.
“It’s been around for awhile in
popular books, but no formal sci
entific studies have been done,”
he said. Authors can sell books
about their hypotheses, but the
Food and Drug Administration
doesn’t have the authority to mon
itor the accuracy of the diet books,
he said.
