High school students get lesson running big rigs
Reynolds Learning Academy sophomore Cody Jensen receives some guidance on how to operate an excavator
from Operating Engineers Local 701 instructor Leland Smith. Jensen was one of six students from Portland who
took part in a two-day workshop at Local 701’s Training Center in Eugene. The Training Center is actively
recruiting high school students to join 701’s apprenticeship programs after they graduate. At the workshop,
students are introduced to the construction industry and shown the art of operating heavy equipment. “The Local
701 Training Center is thrilled to be a part of their educational experience. We are always excited when young
people show an interest and talent,” said Training Center Executive Director Quint Rahberger. “We’ve hosted
many site visits in the past, but this is the first school to commit to an in-depth experience for its students.” The
Training Center will host similar workshops to other high school trades programs in the future.
Hit-and-run driver kills
Eugene labor activist

activist leader last month. Lucy
Lahr, age 45, was killed Oct. 18 by
a hit-and-run driver as she was
crossing a street in Eugene with her
long-time partner Susan Wehner
outside Sacred Heart Medical Cen-
ter. Wehner was also seriously in-
jured in the accident, but was re-
leased from the hospital after three
days.
Lahr is described by those who
knew her as an energetic figure who
inspired others with her passion for
justice. A 22-year employee of the
Oregon Department of Human Ser-
vices, Lahr was active in her union,
the Service Employees Interna-
tional Union Local 503, and helped
found the Eugene-Springfield Soli-
darity Network, which is now a
chapter of the workers’ rights group
Jobs with Justice.
Lahr was also chair of SEIU
sublocal 205, and served as a labor
representative on the local Work-
force Investment Board.
Police arrested Robert T. Berry-
hill, 39, two days after the incident
and charged him with felony hit-
and-run and driving with a sus-
pended license. Berryhill had earlier
convictions of reckless driving and
