receive unexpected visitor
A man wearing only his pajamas
burst into an unlocked house Tues
day morning claiming someone had
just shot his girlfriend. He then
jumped headfirst out a closed win
dow in the house.
Police are withholding the name
of the man, 23, who ran into the
house on the 1400 block of Hilyard
Street at about 11:15 a.m. telling
residents inside he needed a place
to hide from the shooter. The man
barricaded himself in a bedroom
and became agitated as residents
asked him questions about the in
cident before flinging himself out
the bedroom window.
Police found no sign of a shooter,
no charges were filed and officers
took the man to Sacred Heart Medical
Center for a psychiatric evaluation.
City Council to hold Sacred
Heart information session
The City Council will host an in
formation session about Peace
Health’s plans to expand its inpatient
medical center at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July
24, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church,
1062 Charnelton St.The city is re
searching six possible sites where the
hospital could relocate. Those sites
are south and west of Sacred Heart
Medical Center.
In March, PeaceHealth an
nounced plans to move inpatient
services to North Eugene, but the
City Council moved to block that re
location. Most councilors say the
hospital should stay downtown to
aid the area’s economic growth, but
PeaceHealth officials say there is in
sufficient space within the city core.

Northwest brief
Conjoined twins listed
in critical condition
PORTLAND — Conjoined twin
girls born three weeks early were in
critical condition at Legacy
Emanuel Hospital on Tuesday.
Jessica Faith and Emily Hope
weigh a combined 12 pounds, 15
ounces. They were delivered by
Caesarean section Monday morn
ing, the hospital said.
The mother was in good condition.
She and her husband, who are from
Longview, Wash., requested that no
other information be released.
Ann Hight of Kelso, a friend and
fellow church member, said the
couple is relying on their Christian
faith to help them cope with their
infant daughters’ tenuous health.
“Their request to us was, ‘We’re
praying for a miracle and we want you
to pray for a miracle, too,”’ Hight said.
“I personally have, in my prayers,
written the script for God of how he
could separate these babies. Obvious
ly, God didn’t write it that way. ”
The girls are the second pair of con
joined twins bom at Legacy Emanuel
in the past eight months. Alaina and
Xela Bryce were born joined at the
stomach on Oct. 18 to a couple from
Vancouver, Wash. They shared a liver
and were successfully separated dur
ing a rare three-hour operation.
Only about 40 conjoined twins are
bom in the United States each year.
Identical twins are formed when a
single fertilized egg separates into
two embryos early during pregnancy.
Conjoined twins develop when the
egg fails to fully separate.

Smoking ban
continued from page 1
Bohman said her office should
complete the reviews by the end of
the week.
Councilor Pat Farr, who was
the lone vote against the ordi
nance when it passed Nov. 13, re
iterated his fear that the smoking
ban could drive smokers away
from Eugene to bars in Spring
field and surrounding areas. He
said he’d prefer to leave smoking
laws up to the county and the
state.
“I’m glad to see other councilors
are acquiescing that we created an
unbalanced playing field, an unfair
business environment,” he said.
