Panel set to address violence ■The University’s Marriage and Family Therapy program will hold an open panel to offer solutions to violence By Kristy Hessman Oregon Daily Emerald In an effort to address violence and its prevention on all levels, a panel discussion will be held on the University campus tonight. The event, which includes a din ner, will be hosted by the Universi ty’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program and will feature a variety of panelists from a number of fields. The central theme of the discus sion will be violence prevention for the individual, as well as the role of the family, school and community. “We will look at it from a sys temic point of view,” said John Miller, an assistant professor in fam ily therapy at the College of Educa tion. “Not just individuals but everyone.” The panelists will present pre ventive approaches from various fields before opening a dialogue through a question-and-answer ses sion. “The four panelists will be ad dressing three questions related to violence,” said Jeff Sprague, a pan elist and co-director of the Universi ty Institute on Violence and De structive Behavior. “I will take the lead on addressing the root causes of violence.” Panelists also include members of the community who have seen the growing effects of violence. “We have had a significant in crease in crime in the past 10 to 20 years, especially violent juvenile crime,” said Steve Carmichael, a featured panelist and director of the Lane County Department of Youth Panel Discussion on Violence When: Tonight from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Who: Open to the public Where: Room 220, Gerlinger Hall Cost: $25 including dinner; $10 for discussion only Services. “I will be talking about the crime rate and ways to deal with families involving juveniles, as well as problem solving.” The event is open to the public. School counselors, teachers, admin istrators, therapists, family advocates and clergy who work with adoles cents are also encouraged to attend. “It is meant to inform people who work with youth, to give them ideas on how to prevent violence and work with families,” Miller said. Market continued from page 1 Already, with most current ven dors operating on less than 30 acres, the market’s business has expanded rapidly. Since 1999, the market’s sales have grown 25 percent on Sat urdays and 70 percent on Tuesdays, Farmers Market Director Noah O’Hare said. To meet the growing need, organ izers are planning to construct a new building at the Lane County Fairgrounds that would be shared by the market, the United States and Oregon Departments of Agriculture and the Farm Service Agency. “The market has a mission, and that is to help the farmers, and the site is a tool,” he said. “The better the site, the better the tool to help the farmers. At the fairgrounds, we’re talking about a 30 to 50 year facility.” But the expansion is at a standstill because the agriculture depart ments and the Farm Service Agency have yet to help fund a feasibility study, which would investigate space requirements, develop con struction and operating budgets, and pay for drafts of potential facili ties. Without the completed study, O’Hare said, expansion can’t go for ward. O’Hare said he was optimistic the expansion could take place, though he was uncertain when. Even if the expansion is success ful, the market will retain its post in downtown Eugene. “People see what we are now and say ‘don’t leave, we love you down town,’” O’Hare said. “But when I talk about what we could be, they get excited.” The benefits of the new facility would include refrigeration capabil ity, 10 acres of parking instead of the limited downtown parking, and a customer base that won’t evaporate when it rains, O’Hare said. 009720, 942-8730 484-1927 GOLF 9 HOLES $10 Students Only.

The majority of the ven dors, who operate small farms with only a few workers, have voiced that the building at the fairgrounds would be a great new opportunity. Triangle Lake resident Clark Wilde has been vending his home grown produce at the market since it opened in the late 1970s. His booth is decorated with potatoes, apples and garlic French braids — stems braided into a loop and adorned with ribbons or small wildflowers. Though Wilde also favors the idea of expansion, he emphasized that he would choose to continue at the downtown location. “I have customers I’ve known foi over 20 years,” he said. “I’d stay here. I just think there are more peo ple who want to sell here and don’t have enough space.” Karen Schultz, of Roseburg-based Sunglo Farms, said the market serves a vital role in the communi ty “What is really important is that we are able to provide a facility foi local farmers and growers to be able to market theh product directly,” she said, adding that the expansion would support that cause. With expansion hanging in limbo for the present time, O’Hare be lieves the current market will con tinue to sell and grow. “In the meantime, we try to get by managing the space we have,” O’Hare said. The market will remain open Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Halloween and will continue to run in conjunction with Saturday Market on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until mid-November. ■ft- -ft Computing (enter Microcomputer Services Wonts We need savvy students to answer computing questions for students, faculty and staff.
