BRINGING IT
BACK HOME
The Lane County contingency that flew to
join anti-war protesters in Washington, D.C.,
in late January are planning to talk about their
experiences and show slides at 7 pm Friday,
Feb. 9 at the Whiteaker Community Center,
at the corner of Clark and Jackson streets.
The public is invited to the free event.
The local group joined a crowd estimated
at half a million to call for peace, including a
pull-out of American troops from Iraq, im-
peachment of Bush and a reinstatement of
consitutional rights.
After the action, most of the Eugene-area
contingent arrived at the Senate floor in time
to hear Senator Russ Feingold say that
Congress must listen to the will of the people.
“In the United States of America, the peo-
ple are sovereign, not the president.,” said
Feingold. “It is Congress’ responsibility to
challenge an administration that persists in a
war that is misguided and that the country op-
poses.” Feingold said that he would introduce
legislation prohibiting the use of funds to
continue the deployment of U.S. forces in
Iraq six months after enactment.
Members of the group met with the staff
of the Oregon delegation. “Our lobby visits in
the belly of the beast were worthwhile and
productive, and they’ll be followed up by
concerted, ongoing pressure from the grass-
roots and a March 17th rally and march, de-
manding an immediate end to the Iraq war,”
said Michael Carrigan of Progressive
Responses and CALC.
“For years we’ve been hearing that
Democrats can’t do anything because they
were in the minority, so we were told to go
out and work on elections,” said Aria
Seligmann of WAND and Code Pink. “That’s
just what the grassroots did. We got back
Congress and now we’re being told it’s not
that simple and things will move slowly. It’s
frustrating, but we can’t afford to give up.
Now more than ever, we’ve got to push
Democrats to do what’s right: to end this ille-
gal war by cutting off the funds and bring our
troops home.”
COPAUDITOR
IS HOMELESS
What’s the city’s new independent police
auditor up to? Well, it appears she’s spent a
large part of the last two months looking for
office space.
Cristina Beamud wrote to the City
Council that she has been searching for
downtown office space since early
November without success. She thought she
After high school,
Philadelphia native Randi
Golub spent four years in
Europe and the Middle
East and returned to
study veterinary tech at
Bryn Mawr. “I had a hard
time settling down,” says
Golub, who traveled
around the U.S. and had a
cooking career at a
restaurant in Malvern, Pa.,
before she got serious
about working with ani-
mals. “I worked for differ-
ent vets, and spent five
years at the zoo in
Philadelphia,” she says.
Since moving to Eugene
in 2001, Golub has worked
at the Emergency Vet
Hospital and as animal
care coordinator at Greenhill. “I enjoyed it, but it got me away from what I really
love: caring for ill, injured, and elderly cats,” she says. So last year Golub started
her own business, Cat Nurse on Call. “I get referrals from veterinarians,” she
says. “I often work with middle-aged to older diabetic cats. It’s helpful to have
blood-sugar measurements taken in the home.” Behind Golub and her cat Chuck
in the photo is the CatNurse Cottage, a rest and rehab facility offering daycare
and overnignt boarding. Call the Cat Nurse at 514-1472. — Paul Neevel
