UO offers new HIV services ■ Two University students are leading the HIV Alliance programs, which will reach out to Lane County residents By Lindsay Buchele Oregon Daily Emerald University students Jonathan Livingston and Renee Yandel have been selected to help run two new HIV Alliance programs that will reach out to more Lane County res idents who are considered at-risk for contracting HIV. Yandel, who is coordinating a pilot project called HIV Prevention Case Management, said she and six other volunteers will be pro viding counseling services to peo ple they meet during the HIV Al liance needle exchanges, various outreach programs and testing services. “Right now, we only get to talk to people for about three minutes when they take part in one of our programs,” Yandel said. “This is a great opportunity for us to spend more time with our at-risk clients.” Those who fall in an at-risk cat egory for HIV include everyone from injection drug users to youth and people of color, said HIV Alliance spokeswoman Leslie Habetler. Lane bounty is one of three counties throughout Oregon to re ceive a portion of a $50,000 grant to con duct the HIV Prevention Case Manage LIVINGSTON ment> Habetler said. Livingston, who also works for Gay-Bi Outreach, will be helping with the HIV Counseling and Test ing Services. This program will al low for anonymous or confidential youth testing in various locations throughout Lane County. “It’s very difficult to get tested when there is so much stigma surrounding HIV,” Livingston said. “We’re providing a comfort able place for at-risk youth to be tested.” Kelly Moore, who will be coor dinating the counseling program, said people who were previously tested are not among those who tall into the at risk category. Those who do fall into the category have a lack of trust, she said. “We decid ed to go to them,” Moore said. “We have YANDEL t0 8° t0 where we can reach people.” Similar to the Prevention Case Management, the Counseling and Testing Services will only be for people who are referred through the other HIV Alliance programs. “This is not just a way to get re sults on who has HIV,” Moore said. “It’s also so we can do prevention.” Turn to HIV, page 6 piii Buy 1 Combo Meal, receive 10% off ThUrSddyS in the EMU Food Court ^ Must present coupon at time of purchase 19th Annual LANE COUNTY IMPROVEMENT OCT. 11-14 Thursday & Friday: 5 PM to 9:30 PM Saturday: 10:30 AM to 9:30 PM Sunday: 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM Lane County Fairgrounds 13th & Jefferson, Eugene ADMISSION IS FREE Sponsored by the Lane County Home Builders Association a Berg Production Antiques continued from page 1 Antique stores often carry older versions of new styles, such as Fire King dinnerware, she said. When Martha Stewart brought out Jadeite and Fiesta, two brightly colored styles of dishes and glassware, Pal adijczuk said it boosted the prices of the classic originals. Paladijczuk said finding the right item can be a hit-and-miss process, but visiting a variety of shops can give a buyer a large selection. “You can have fun things and have it not cost you an arm and a leg,” she said. Paladijczuk said she enjoys her line of work, especially when she can supply customers with what they are looking for. “The people are fun,” she said. “They come in, and when they buy something, they usually love it.” As Cindy Beane, originally from Huntington Beach, Calif., admired a patriotic birdhouse at Glory Day’s Antique Mall on Saturday, she said she was actually searching only for ashtrays. Beane said she wants to display her ashtray collection once she and her husband move from their trailer to a house and once she stops smoking. “I’m going to quit here any day,” she said. The sound of waterfalls and the smell of orange rinds, scented:can dles, spices and potpourri greet visi tors to Ruthie B’s Antiques, an an tique store and tea house at 100 Main St. in Springfield, which was a bordello in the 1930s. “It reminds me of walking into my grandmother’s home, and it smells ... like home,” said Brandy Brown, of Springfield, as she browsed through the upstairs attic of the house, which is loaded with children’s toys, suitcases and relics of the past. Complementary lattes and the opportunity to dress up in brightly colored boas and hats are also part of the experience. Ruth Ballenger, who has owned and operated Ruthie B’s with the help of Jessica French and 12 other employees for 10 years, said visitors should “be ready for a party.” “I love the fact that people come in and we make them happy,” French said.
