Death penalty foes to start
‘Life for a Life’ campaign
SALEM — Foes of Oregon’s
death penalty have received the go
ahead from the Oregon Supreme
Court on a ballot title and will be
gin gathering signatures this week
to put a measure on the ballot in
November 2002.
“We understand that change often
doesn’t come easy,” said former Sen.
Mark Hatfield, who as Oregon gover
nor led a successful 1964 repeal of
capital punishment in Oregon.
Hatfield’s fellow chief petitioners
on the initiative campaign are for
mer schools superintendent Norma
Paulus and Dr. William Connor.
The campaign is expected to
prompt a statewide debate of the is
sue that could attract national at
tention and campaign contribu
tions.
“Life for a Life” campaigners
have about a year to gather the near
ly 90,000 valid signatures required
to put a proposed constitutional
amendment on the ballot.
The “Life for a Life” campaign
would abolish capital punishment
in favor of life without parole and
financial restitution for convicted
murderers.
Supporters said they hope to
gather enough signatures using vol
unteers, but they would consider
using paid signature gatherers if
needed.
Oregon voters have gone back
and forth on the death penalty over
the years, although in the last vote
in 1984 they overwhelmingly sup
ported reinstating capital punish
ment.
Oregon last carried out execu
tions by lethal injections in 1996
and 1997. Twenty-five men cur
rently are on death row in Oregon,
although the next execution likely
won’t be carried out for several
years because of legal appeals.
Steve Doell, head of Oregon
Crime Victims United, has said
most Oregonians still support capi
tal punishment.
The Associated Press
Sacred Heart
continued from page 1
posed plans in March to build a
more than 500-bed hospital hous
ing mostly inpatient and emer
gency services and employing
2,200 people on a 38-acre parcel of
land in North Eugene.
The organization purchased the
land at the northeast corner of
Coburg Road and Crescent Avenue
in 1992 for $1.8 million, and con
struction was set to start in mid
2002.
The downtown facility would
have been remodeled into an out
patient, administrative and support
services and enhanced urgent care
facility employing 1,800 people.
But after expressing concerns
about a northern relocation, city of
ficials approached PeaceHealth
with a desire to discuss alternatives
and encourage compact urban
growth theories.
At a City Council meeting June
18, councilors and PeaceHealth of
ficials proposed an alternative plan
to acquire 37 acres of land six
blocks immediately west of the cur
rent campus. The land encompass
es many apartment buildings, busi
nesses, and historic landmarks,
approximately 391 trees and the
University’s Riley Hall.
Community members say this is
reminiscent of Sacred Heart’s dem
olition of the 60-year old 11th
Street Mayflower Theater in 1986,
hours before a meeting with the Eu
gene Historic Review Board that
could have declared it a historic
landmark.
Citizens’ concerns include the re
moval of trees and historic land
marks, details of land acquisition
and condemnation, relocation, and
the possible mixture of church and
state. Residents also questioned
why the hospital can’t build up
rather than out and why other sites
were not chosen.
Terrett said because of seismic
upgrades and the need to have
adjacency to certain departments,
an expansion upward would di
minish the quality of the health
care the hospital hopes to pro
vide. He added that other sites
didn’t meet either the space spec
ifications or specific hospital zon
ing policies.
Expansion of the downtown site
is estimated to cost $100 million
more than the $300 to $350 million
of the proposed North Eugene hos
pital. The timeline for the project
would be lengthy, due to the need
to complete it in phases as opposed
to the four to five years for the
North Eugene site.
PeaceHealth has asked the city
to contribute $35 million to the
project, $30 million of which
would come from a taxpayer-sup
ported bond measure, and to ease
zoning regulations and provide
tax breaks.
It also wants the city to pay half
the cost of acquiring, condemning
and relocating homes and busi
nesses within the six blocks from
Patterson Street to High Street and
11th Avenue to 13th Avenue. This
costs are more than $40 to $60 mil
lion. PeaceHealth would agree to
repay the city the cost and limit its
development of the North Eugene
site to only outpatient and limited
inpatient services.
Most city councilors, however,
have agreed only to make a finan
cial commitment of $25 million,
$20 million of which will likely
be a property tax-supported bond
levy the city intends for use in
control of traffic flow and park
ing.
Should voters reject this bond
measure, PeaceHealth is asking
the city to support the move
north and to help expedite land

use actions to build there.The al
ternative of expanding at the old
Eugene site has been rejected by
PeaceHealth due to lack of space
in the area, no adjacency to the
hospital, street placements and
nowhere to move the nearly 400
employees in the building during
construction.
When the controversy over a
move north started, groups such
as the North Eugene Growth Im
pact Committee, the University
Small Business Association, Citi
zens for a Hospital in the Heart of
Eugene and local doctors and
nurses urged the hospital to re
consider, citing traffic problems
the north would face, changing
growth patterns, distance and the
hole it would leave in the city cen
ter. Many believed the latter
would be a barrier in the revital
ization of the downtown area.
“I’ve tried to make sure that peo
ple in this neighborhood know
what’s going on,” said Richie Wein
man with the City Planning and De
velopment Department. “I know
the time frame has been short, and
we’ve made an effort to make sure
that people will know about these
meetings and know about the dis
cussions so they’re not terribly sur
prised by it.”
Tom Olshanski, the spokesman
for the city of Eugene, also said it
was too bad that many local resi
dents were taken unawares.
“It was really unfortunate that it
occurred that way,” Olshanski said.
“It really is the result of a lot of
work happening very quickly.”
He added that it is important for
concerned citizens to attend anoth
er public forum scheduled for Mon
day, July 2, at 6:30 p.m. at the Cen
tral Presbyterian Church at 555 E.
15th.
“A lot depends on what the pub
lic senses and what they’re feeling
out there,” he said.
