ferring to thelack of Eugene police
officers at the forum. “We need to
ask them the question, ‘What do
you need to have your voice
heard?’
“We are still polarized and
nothing has changed because of
this meeting. All of the work is
ahead of us,” he said.
Several participants at the two
hour session repeated earlier
claims by Eugene residents that
they were unfairly swept up and
roughed up that weekend in an
excessive show of police force.
Eugene Police Chief Jim Hill has
denied that any of his officers
used excessive force during arrest
procedures, a response that didn’t
sit well with a few speakers.
“The police in this community
scare me because they’ve never
had to deal with a riot that they
didn’t instigate,” said Will
Winget, who was arrested June 18.
The HRC designed Tuesday’s
forum in a back-and-forth format,
with four citizens getting the op
portunity to voice their side, then
four neutral observers having an
opportunity to give their eyewit
ness reports. Each speaker was
given three minutes to speak his
or her mind.

ROAD TRIP 11 b
timidation [by police at the
protest] ... but I saw no overbear
ing violence,” observer Jason The
len said. He was arrested June 17
on a charge of disorderly conduct,
after he and others walked to the
Lane County Jail following the
presentation of a pro-anarchist
video at Prince Lucien Campbell
Hall. Thelen was eventually re
leased to his parents’ custody be
cause he is 17 years-old.
Thelen said police in riot gear
surrounded protesters at the jail,
sometimes using bicycles as tools
to keep the crowd at bay, and left
them few alternatives to comply
with police orders to disperse.
City Councilor David Kelly
used a portion of his allotted time
to dispel any notions that he is
“pro-anarchist.” Kelly said his
earlier criticisms of certain police
actions during the weekend
protest were misconstrued. He
also said that one of the most im
portant issues surrounding the
city’s discord is to communicate,
because the facts likely won’t
change anytime soon.
“Some folks in this town want
the protesters to vanish, some
folks in this town want the police
to vanish,” Kelly said. “In my best
guess, that’s not going to happen.”
Edwin Coleman, a former Uni
versity English professor who re
tired in June 1998, spoke as a neu
tral observer and said he objects to
the protesters implying that they
are following in the footsteps of
civil rights’ protesters during the
1960s.
“That’s bunk,” said Coleman,
who has received the Martin
Luther King, Jr. Lifetime Achieve
ment Award from the city of Eu
gene. The deceased civil rights
leader “would turn over in his
grave if he saw some of the
shenanigans and machinations
being carried out in his name.”
Rikhoff said that all comments
he heard at the forum Eire going to
be useful in designing a more
widely-accepted neutral observer
program and to also raise the dis
cussions to the next level.
“It’s up to the Human Rights
Commission — how do we take
this divisiveness and turn it into a
dialogue?” he said.
The Eugene Police Commis
sion, another group designed to
foster better communication and
interaction between the commu
nity and police, meets today at 5
p.m. in the McNutt Room of City
Hall, 777 Pearl Street, to discuss
recent protest activity.
The public is welcome to at
tend, but no public testimony will
be heard.
Eugene PeaceWorks, a local ac
tivist group, has also set up a legal
defense fund for Jeffrey “Free”
Michael Luers and Craig “Critter”
Andrew Marshall, who were ar
rested June 16 on charges of two
counts of first-degree arson, first
degree criminal mischief, two
counts ofboth unlawful manufac
ture and possession of a bomb,
two counts of attempted arson,
and attempted first-degree crimi
nal mischief.
They have pleaded not guilty
and contributions to help pay
their legal fees can be made to the
“Free Free and Critter Legal De
fense Fund,” c/o the O.U.R. Credit
Union, 715 Lincoln Street. For

Speaker draws connection
between race and health
By Kristy Hessman
Oregon Daily Emerald
Environmental racism, treat
ment of Mexican-American mi
grant workers and correlations be
tween toxic waste and race are just
a few of the topics to be discussed
tonight during an ecological pub
lic talk and discussion.
The Ecological Conservation, a
Rockefeller Foundation Resident
Fellowship Program, which deals
with gender, science and the sa
cred, features Kamala Platt, a resi
dent fellow at the Center for the
Study of Women in Society.
“This is the fifth Rockefeller
speaker we have had on campus,”
said Lynne Fessenden, the CSWS
program manager.
Platt will discuss her research
on the poetics of environmental
justice, focusing on environmen
tal racism in the Willamette Valley.
“The definition of environmen
tal justice is basically where we
live and where we go for vaca
tion,” Platt said. “I am studying the
effects on human communities
and health.”
Her research on environmental
racism has particularly focused on
■•migrant workers.
“I am working a lot with Latina
women with a Mexican-American
background,” Platt said. “It is a
comparative study which looks at
places like Texas and near the
Northeast Mexican border where
there is about a 90 percent Mexi
can-American population.”
From her studies she has found
the danger that resides among farm
workers from the use of pesticides.
“Workers are finding that the
pesticides are hazardous to their
health and to their families, yet
their employers are blackmailing
them with deportation” if they
question the practices, Platt said.
The conference is at the Cesar
Chavez House on 1672 E. 17th Ave.
“We thought that since the talk
focused a lot on the community,
the Chavez House would be a good
ptece for it,” Platt said. “A lpt of
people on campus don’t even
know that it exists.”
