Dislocated workers experience tax troubles
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor
Picture this: You 're a dislocated worker. You 're a full-time
student. And you owe $1000 in
state and federal taxes.
David Phelps doesn't have to
imagine it. It happened to him.
Phelps is an LCC student pursuing a Community Service Associate of Applied Science Degree and General Block Transfer
Degree through the vocational retraining program (Dislocated
Workers Program). He joined the
program and began drawing unemployment benefits in 1990. As
a result of drawing 34 weeks of
benefits, he owes taxes totalling
$1000, an amount he hasn't the
money to pay.
"I'm mad as hell," he says,
"And I'm not going to take to take
it anymore."
Phelps is currently in an appeals
process with the Oregon unemployment office and is currently
seeking the assistance of State
Senators Grattan Kerans and Bill
Dwyer in changing tax laws to
relieve the tax burden on dislocated workers in retraining programs.
Harvey Epperson, a second
year business major who is part of
the vocational retraining program,
says he had a problem similar to
Phelps's this year. After collecting$230 weekly in unemployment
benefits for a year, Epperson had
to pay a S 1200 tax bill, despite
filing jointly with three depen-

Student seeks tax restructure for dislocated workers

LCC student and dislocated worker David Phelps collects
cans to offset the loss of unemployment benefits.
dents.
"I save and scrape every dime
I can," he says. "My problem is
being able to save that kind of
money as a student.
"I have never in my 39 year
history had to pay taxes until now,"
he says.
"This year (the problem) has
become much more apparent,"

says Randa Law, Dislocated
Worker Program Advisor. This is
the first year that students in the
program have been on unemployment benefiL~ long enough to
be so dramatically affected.
"It's next to impossible," she
says, for people to save enough
money to pay taxes at the end of
the year.

According to Dav id Sherrill,
Claims Manager at the Springfield
Unemployment Division, unemployment benefits arc considered
taxable income, but arc not taxed
during the year. Whether or not a
person owes taxes at the end of the
year depends on a the individual's
personal deductions.
Phelps says he would like to

see an cffort made to case the
blow of paying taxes for retraining students. He sugge sts
deferrment until retraining is
complete and suitable work can
be found to pay off tax debL~.
"None of us . . . are trying to get
out of paying taxes," he insists.
But a restructure is in order.
Law agrees.
"They don't have it (money),"
she says. They can 't find jobs or
they will lose unemployment
benefits. And, she says, having to
deal with tax bills that arc sometimes as high as $1200-whilc at
the same time returning to school
- is just too strcssful.
"IL's punishing the people who
need help the most."
Law says that benefits were
not taxed at all until six years ago,
and that perhaps a return to that
system should be considered, or a
dcfcrrmcnt for students receiving
unemployment benefits while retraining.
"It's a t:,'Tcat program," says
Phelps. "It's just got some problems." He says he wanL~ to sec
some legislative changes so that
future dislocated workers are not
disuadcd from participating in the
program.
"I owe it to the Dislocated
Worker Program to do everything
I can," says Phelps, who has had
all of his benefits cul and works
three jobs to support himself, in
addition to collecting pop cans
daily to round out the edges.
"I'm going to ride this son of a
bitch clear to the Lop," he says.

Armed with legislative endorsement leaflets, the
majority of which were probably printed with soy
ink on recycled paper, college student organizations
nationwide are volunteering time to help out humanistic causes ranging from homelessness to the quality of future drinking water.
The Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group (OSPIRG), along with more than 140 other
college PIRG organizations recently ran a Hunger
and Homeless campaign, in which the U of O and
LCC chapters combined to raise $1400 in direct
donations to local homeless shelters.
But raising money wasn't the only accomplishmenton April 11, according to LCC-OSPIRG Chair
Chris Rampy. Along with other local students, the
Lane chapter worked at various community service
sites around Eugene/Springfield.
"We went into a family shelter to tear out old
carpet," explains Rampy.
But after initiating the first of three state-wide
goals including environmental education and a safe
drinking water campaign, Rampy says the best is yet
to come.
On Earth Day, April 22, LCC-OSPIRG plans to

hold the first ever "Pesti-Challengc" -- where students will have the opportunity to compare organic
foods, grown without any fertilizers or pesticides,
and non-organic foods in a "blind" taste test. "We
hope students will be able to tell the difference," says
Rampy.
The experiment is a tool, he says, to make students aware of the growing threat of pesticides that
are sprayed for farming purposes and other industrial contaminants seeping into ground water reservoirs used for public drinking water.
Additionally he says, "We want more efficient
clean-up programs for waters already contaminated
-- along the line of 'the polluter pays."' Rampy says
increased enforcement guidelines will hold polluters financially accountable for clean-up .
Other points of the the group's plan include
educating local high school students on pollution
prevention and reduction.
As a national coalition, student PIRGs nationwide are lobbying to expand the current Toxics
Reduction law to include provisions for quality
drinking water, using postcard endorsements signed
by registered voters to pressure district and federal
congressional representatives.
Rampy says Earth Day activities will include

Rape recovery encompasses seVerc:irStCi~}ef··
by KIM CHALLIS-ROTH
Torch Lead Writer

According to FBI records, there
are 16 attempts and 10 actual rapes
every hour.
Every three minutes a woman
in the United States is sexually
assaulted.
Rape is an act of violence.
People rape because they have a
sense of powerlessness and feel a
need to control, dominate or humiliate their victims.
Rhiannon Ashe, of Sexual AssaultSupportServices, cites a 1988
study by Mary Koss of Kent State
which repcrts one out of every
eight female students have been
raped. Of those rapes:
• 10.6 percent were by strangers
• 24.9percent were by acquaintances of the victim
• 30 percent were raped by men
they had dated steadily
• 21 percerlt were raped by men
they had know casually and
• 8.9 percent were raped by
family members.

or that they somehow deserve the
rape. Some victims of date rape
say 'Well,he bought me dinner. ...
maybe I owe it to him."'
Ashe says victims of sexual
assault are never to blame.
"It doesn't matter what a
woman's wearing or even if she's
drunk. It is never her fault. "
Also, says Ashe, there is never
a perfect response to an attacker.
"Sometimes fighting back is
appropriate and other times it may
get you into more trouble. What
women need to do is to communicate clearly so the perpetrator understands that 'No' means 'No,"'
she explains.
Sue says she went through many
stages in her recovery.
"It took a long time for me to
develop friends who were men.
After the rape, I was treated different,ly by my male co-workers. They
were colder."
"I decided to seek profession
help," Sue continues, "and to also
counsel other victims."
Ashe says many victims of
sexual assault experience the same
emotions as Sue. Ashe says the

Rape Trauma Syndrome has three
main stages:
• Acute Stage: immediately
following the attack the victim may
feel numbness and a loss of
memory, experience reactions
from calm to hysteria, and experience a feeling of disorientation.
• Outward Adjustment Stage:
a few weeks to usually a year after
the attack, the victim may feel an
overall sense of loss of personal
safety and develop phobias. Her
moods and appetite may swing.
The victim may lose friends, families or partners. Denial that the
assault ever took place is common.
• Reintegration Stage: usually
occurring for one year after the
attack and beyond, the victim
learns to become a survivor. Her
memories lose their intensity.
Today Sue is a successful student, wife and mother of two teenagers.
"I don't think the .fear ever really leaves," says Sue, "but at least
the nightmares have stopped."
Sexual Assault Support Services offers a 24-hour crisis line at
484-9795 or 485-6700.

Earth Day sees ninth edition
ecology guidebook published
by TRACY BROOKS
Torch Associate Editor
As a fledgling group 17 years ago, the
Friends of the Mount Pisgah Arboretum
asked University of Oregon graduate student Rhoda Love to assist them in describing the ecosystems of the area. As a
result, she assisted the arboretum's
founders in establishing an educational
program for school-age children.
Today, just in time for Earth Day,
Love, now a LCC Part-Time Instructor
with a Ph.D in Botany, recently completed the ninth edition of The Mount
PisgahArboretum Guidebook. She wrote
and edited the original guide in 1984.
The guidebook began as a reference for
local volunteers who teach classes at the
arboretum. Each year itgresasexperts injecd
more andmore information into the book.
Contributors include local ecologist Sharon Teague, geologist Ewart Baldwin, lichen expert Daphne Stone, and bird specialist Herb Wisner. The cover is drawn by
LCC student Tom Baxter.
It serves as a guide for tours of the
arboretum, offering nature trail maps and
specific information about the botanical
specimens on the trails. The guide covers
a range of topics, among them streams,
origins of plant names, biodiversity, pollination, lichens, mosses, liverwarts, and
gypsy moths.
"It's nice for people to have a book on
a specific area they arc visiting," says
Love, an active volunteer at the arboretum.
Over 3000 school children visit the
arboretum each year, she says, and the
book assists volunteer guides in teaching
the ecology to the young visitors.
Two area instructors are using the
•guidebook as a text for classes as well,
says Love. One is a class at LCC which

Student government is sponsoring two bands; Kudana, a marimba

of the Center Building.
In addition to Earth Day activities, OSPIRG is also sponsoring a
National Bottle Bill, a petition to expand recycling to juice and wine
bottles on a nation-wide basis. Here in Oregon, glass bottles such as
wine and juice containers do not require a deposit, a problem, says
Rampy, that contributes to more non-biodegradable waste. OSPIRG
also plans to fight for an incinerator moratorium regarding toxic
materials and increased use of recyclable product packaging.
"It's one thing to tell about a problem, it's another to present a
solution," says Rampy, who encourages students to get involved and
"make a difference."

Do you not have enough time to recycle?
Does your hectic schedule not allow you to
be environmentally conscious? Are you
an apathetic slug or just another member
of the brainless herd that grazes on this
planet turned pasture? Do you not have
enough of a grasp on reality to see that we
are running ourselves into an early grave
by continuing the current resource binge
that modern industry promotes? If you
answered yes to any of the above
questions, you might as well have
answered yes to all of the above questions.
Don't be a senseless drone, wake up from
your zombie-like trance and do something
for the planet you live on, or rot in your
own personal hell of uncaring
complacency.

Cooperative needed to balance economic scales
The continuing saga pittmg envrronmental preservation efforts against timber jobs and blaming the plight of
dislocated workers on the northern spotted owl is a
calculated disinformation campaign originating at the
highest levels.
The concept, swept up by some sensationalistic reporting sometimes fuels the ongoing controversy and
keeps it afloat It is a campaign by some self-serving
logging corporations concerned with short-term profits
after years of resource mismanagement. It is often an
attempt t0 cloak the reality of the dilemma.
The continued assertion by officials that the lumber
industry will return to its former economic greatness
after the environmentalists exhaust themselves with pleas
and injunctions is nothing more than an empty dream.
There just aren't enough trees left to return the industry
to its former prosperity.
And environmentalists, realizing the political clout of
the wood-products industry, are recklessly using the
Endangered Species Act to stop any and all logging
possible -- without regard for the economic and social
consequences such actions heap on timber workers, their
families, and the rural communities supported by lumber
receipts.
Timber workers, incited by state and federal politicians

as well as industry management, are the ultimate victims
in this game.
Some, not all, environmentalists would have us believe that the average wood-products laborer is unconcerned with conservation. In fact, most timber workers
are in the field because they love the forests and see the
possibility of continued logging through careful resource
management-- something the corporations are unwilling
to do because it cuts into those all-important short-term
profits.
But the current friction is exactly what big business is
hoping for -- enough infighting between environmentalists and labor so a coalition cannot form to combat the real
issue of viable economic transition out of a timber reliant
economy.
With the Northwest's wealth of natural resources
being extracted at an alarming rate, it is now more
important than evertoestablish a worker-environmentalist
political cooperative to balance the socio-economic scales
in the face of the power wielded by concerned business
interests.
Such a coalition, built on the foundation of long-term
sustainable timber production, coupled with ecologically safe forestry practices, would indeed prove to be a
worthy and popular political force. But with opinion

moving atafeverpitch toward a "cut-at-any-price, to hell
with endangered habitat program," the unwitting public
is falling into an abyss of corporate manipulation and
deceit.
Instead of fighting each other, labor and environmentalists need to combine forces -- find that middle ground.
Since 70 percent of all US log exports are in the form of
raw, or nearly raw products, maybe a re-examination of
current legislative exemption bylines is in order. And
employees must be able to find work at honest familywage levels. Of the over 60 mill closures in Oregon since
1990, how many of those would have been averted had
the federal government gone to bat for the citizens of the
Northwest?
If Washington D.C. insists on protecting this suicidal program, the public must demand compensatory
funding to offset the growing number of displaced
workers.
The wood-products industry, itself a culprit, should
be held accountable for what it has done to the labor
force. It should acknowledge the effect that technology
has had on replacing workers instead of throwing all the
blame on conservationists. It should hire these same
workers at a realistic wage to really restore the environment so "Oregon will never grow out of trees."

Editor supports
blind policy
To the Editor:
In the April 10th issue of the
Torch, a letter appeared which
charged that LCC's Denali
an
magazine publishes
inproportionate number of submissions from its own staff. Over
the years this statement has been
made several times and answered
by Denali editors. I would like to
respond to it once again.
It is the policy of the magazine
to do blind readings and evaluations. Noone on the editorial board,
with the exception of the one
person doing the logging of the
submissions, knows whose work
is being read until after selections
have been made. This allows absolute fairness.
The reason that a considerable
number of Denali staff members
are published is simply this: quite
frequently the most talented,
dedicated people give their time
and energy to the magazine. A
number of the staff members are
SFE students, English majors interested in pursuing a career in
writing and publishing, and Art
and Graphics Design majors. Often, when people bring submissions into the office, we encourage
them to consider working with the
magazine. We consistently tell
people about our blind reading/
evaluation process when they
bring submissions in, as I told the
writerof the April 10th letter, Alisa
Anderson, last spring. Ms ..
Anderson herself was encouraged
to work with the magazine.
In addition to the pieces published in Denali, we also showcase many works through the numerous readings we hold. Besides
the readings featuring specific
authors, we have several openmike readings. This year we have
held open mike readings at Saturday Market (summer '91 ), in
the Blue DoorTheatre (fall '91 ), at
the open house (fall '91), and in
conjunction with the Women's
Center (spring '92). Ms. Anderson was invited to read but declined
to doso.
The wonderful art we receive
is sometimes not publishable because it will not reproduce well.
We hold an art show with our
Denali Finale in the spring to
showcase much of the work that
we were unable to publish in addition to some of the published
pieces. Anyone is welcome to
place work in the show.
Another service we provide is
peer evaluation to any submittor
intersted in learning how to enhance their work. Most creative
people are eager to improve their
work and welcome commentary
on the strengths and weaknesses
observed by the editorial board
and our advisors. Unfortunately,
some would-be writers or artists,
as in Ms. Anderson's case, will
submit the same piece, or pieces
of work repeatedly without considering the possibility that the
submission may need rewriting,
or that it may just not be skilled,
developed writing on a subject of
interest to anyone but the author.

Ms. Andersonmadethestatement
that she would submit the same,
unchanged pieces of writing until
Denali published them. It is very
difficult to help a would be contributor who is unwilling to be
open to assistance.
Lastly, I would like to point out
that while Denali may publish a
fairly large number of staff works,
it seems to me to be unfair to
punish talented people for giving
their time and energy to help create the several times award winningpublication thatDenali is. No
one questions that Torch staff
members have articles and photographs in the Torch, or that people
involved with the Art Department
appear in the LCC gallery shows,
or that people involved with the
Performing Arts Department appear in its productions. Such a
criticsm would be ludicrous; I
believe it is just as ludicrous to
make that criticsm of Denali. Ms.
Anderson may have forgotten that
she was told about our blind reading/evaluation policy, and invited
to share her work at a reading, but
I µrink that timing a letter charging
bias so that it appears one week
before a submission deadline is
sour grapes.
Just for the record - Ms.
Anderson's "observation" that
Denali published one-third staff
submissions may be inaccurate
- a number of staff members
submit their writing and art under
pseudonyrnns !

End mutations,
ban nuke testing
To the Editor:
On April 19, we will witness
activists at the Nevada Nuclear
Test site protesting the continuing testing of atomic weapons.
The United States Government
spends over $6 million dollars
PER TEST at the site, where the
U .K. also detonates their weap• ons of mass destruction. The
Bush Administration has set
aside 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS
for testing of nuclear warheads.
Even in Kazakh, Russia, while it
was still a Communist country,
the people refused to tolerate
their children being born deformed, women dying of breast
cancer by the masses, and men
becoming impotent and
commiting suicide. They called
their movement to encttesting in
their country the Nevada
Movement, and their leaders
listened to the masses and discontinued nuclear weapons tests.
The city of St. George, Utah sits
directly downwind from Nevada
Site where they have been testing atomic weapons since 1951,
when Kennedy signed a treaty to
halt atmospheric tests, which will
soon be up for review. Since
1951 there have been over 800
atomic detonations at the Nevada
Test Site. In the communitv of
St. George, massive numbers of
people are dying from cancer
and some of the women are
giving birth to deformed children.

Something is dreadfully
wrong with a world in which our
leaders care more about death
than life. The Bush Administration has continued to blatanly
disregard devestating ecological
repurcussions and documented
genetic health risks. Now more
than ever, we as citizens of a
democratic free nation must demand that our leaders stop this
madness. Call upon your Senators and Congressmen and urge
them to sign a Comprehensive
Test Ban Treaty. Congressman
DeFazio's office: 465-6732, ask
him to support House Bill: HR
3636. Senator Mark Hatfield's
office: 399-5731 and Senator
Bob Packwood's office: 3263370, Senate Bill: S 2604. We
don't have a future without a
healthyenvironment. Yourvoice
counts!

Smoker against
hateful wording
To The Editor:
In the April 3 issue of the
Torch, you printed a hateful
letter in which smokers were
characterized as "pigs." This is
not the sort of intolerant statement that you would have printed
if it were directed at African
Americans, women, Native
Americans, or any other minority group on campus. Pandering
to hate and intolerance is not one
of the roles of the Torch. I hope
that it hasn't escaped your ·attention that some people on this
campus need a group that they
can bash with impunity in order
to feel good about themselves.
You must be aware that in response to that problem, President
Moskus and the board have
dedicated themselves to a collection of principles designed to
assure that this campus remain
free of harassment. One of those
principles states that any behavior that "creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment for the individual"
will not be tolerated at Lane.
Smokers arc a diverse group
of individuals that make up 30
percent of the student body who
continue to use a legal product
for a variety of reasons. They are
neither "pigs" nor any less considerate than any other group of
people on campus. Two characteristics that smokers may share
• that are worth noting is that they
are neither self-righteous nor
intolerant of others' behavior.
The board's decision to control smoking in buildings was
directed at a behavior, not people.
Those of you who see this policy
change as a declaration of an
open season on smokers are dangerous. Your continued harassment feeds the cycle of hate and
intolerance that has marked the
last decade. Those of you who
would legislate and control, rather
than persuade and tolerate. have
lost sight of what this country
and this college are all about and
threaten us all.

Disease needs
new name like
Black Plague
To The Editor:
To whomever will listen,
Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome - AIDS. So what's in
a name? Compare AIDS with
the Black Plague; which one
sounds like something you
wouldn't want to catch? This
"syndrome" is killing someone
you know, have met, or will meet.
"AIDS kills," say the commercials, but quite frankly, food
poisoning sounds more dangerous. We need a name that instills
fear, real fear, enough fear to
make people pay attention.
Names do make a difference;
would the Mongol Horde have
caused such fear if they had been
referred to as "Guys from
Mongolia," would a more appropriate name have made a di fference in Love Canal? Lock
Jaw and Whooping Cough don't
sound the least bit pleasant, in
fact, they sound downright
avoidable, so what's with AIDS?
Mange, Shingles, Yell ow Fever,
Cholera, Appendicitis, Gastritis,
Mesenteritis, Tuberculosis, oh
hell, let's just add all the "osis'
and itis"' to our little list; Tetanus, Trench Mouth , Anthrax,
Herpes, and even Worms ( which
in their infinite varieties take first
prize in unpleasant sounding
names) all sound just plain
dreadful. Some can kill you,
some can't, some you can't even
get -- and some, well, I have no
idea; but I know that I don't want
to catch any of them. AIDS, on
the other hand, will kill you.
Let's start by calling it a disease;
I doubt that the word "syndrome"
packs enough punch to stir this
country's populous -- or any
other's when you come right
down to it. Next, we need a
name, a name to wake people
up, a name which sounds like it
should be avoided like the plague
(too bad 'plague' is taken already).
Any suggestions?

End.apathy,
look to solutions
To the Editor:
Does apathy take up much of
your time?
Does apathy rule your life? .
Apathy, to me, means indifference or total inactivity (comatose) regarding social or environmental issues.
Lately, I have been bothered
by the apathy of the majority of
our society -- college students in
particular. I know that an education and knowledge are valuable
things in this world, but what
good is a B.S. or a B.A. going to
do you if the world in which you
live, perhaps 10 to 20 years from
now, is not going to be worth
living in.

The Torch

In my opinion, if you are not
donating at least a tenth to a
quarter of your time to help your
world/community to be a better
place socially and environmentally, then you are apathetic. And
I say, if you are apathetic then
get off your ass.
My solution to students who
say, "Well I just have too many
credit hours to do anything else
besides school," is to take less,.
perhaps 8 to 12 credit hours instead of 15 to 20 credit hours.
There are no rules or regulations
stating that one has to graduate in exactly 4 years, or whatever.
(To add, I do realize that there
are students who have kids, a
job, and attend school; their time
is indeed limited).
There is nothing more empowering or fulfilling than to
actually do something tangible
about a social or environmental
problem that concerns you,
whether it be local or global.
Many of you are probably
saying, "Hey, where does this
person get the nerve telling me I
am apathetic?"
Hey, if you arc not apathetic
then you have no reasaon to get
pissed off at me, but if you arc
apathetic then I say to you,
change. Be a part of the solution
or be a part of the problem.
I don't think I am perfect, or
some sort of ideal person. I don't
consider myself better than any
other person who inhabits this
Earth, but I am not apathetic. For
those of you who are not apathetic and think you arc somehow above others or have an
elitist attitude. I say to you, lose
that elitist attitude; remember,
we arc all in this together and
acting together is the only real
way to real change.
It is not enough to look or
dress like a progressive person.
IL is not enough to think or talk
like a progressive person. When
you actually start doing something tangible about an issue or
issues that concern your world
and community, then perhaps
you can decide that what you arc
doing is enough.
Finally, if I piss some people
off, that is not my intent, but if I
spur some people to do something constructive and tangible
about our dying Earth, well , that
is my intent.

Bombs and bicycles, love and conflict, music and history are all
coming to the LCC Main Theater on April 24.
"Spokesong," an Irish play with music, humor and plenty of
bicycles, will run for three weekends: April 24, 25, 29, 30 and
May 1 and 2.
In "Spokesong," Belfast-born playwright Stewart Parker
combines the subjects of violence in Northern Ireland,
society's technological ignorance and values, and how
people relate to one another.
The story takes place at the tum of the century and
continues through to the early 70s, revolving around a
young man in Belfast who has inherited a bicycle shop, and
along with it, a significant feel for the mystique of the bicycle
itself. He is a romanti<; who thinks the city's traffic problems
might be solved by the exclusion of automobiles.
"It's about right now. It's about trying to downscale all of the technology
that we don't really grasp, as far as our daily lives are concerned," says artistic
director Patrick Torelle .
In the play a young man falls in love with a woman who seeks him out to
fix her bike. His strained relationship with his brother, is further tested as the
two brothers compete for the woman's love.
To develop an authentic feeling to the production, Torelle enlisted the
skills of dialect coach Rebekah Shelly, who says the Irish dialect is one of the
.
hardest dialects to master.
"The thing about learning a dialect is you either have an ear or you don't,"
she says.
Over the past several weeks cast meml)ers were required to speak with an
Irish accent for at leasttwo hours each day. In some cases the exercise brought

Over the past several weeks cast members were required to speak with an
Irish accent for at least two hours each day. In some cases the exercise brought
surprising results.
While working at her regular job as a waitress, cast member Nicole
Henderson adopted an Irish accent and greatly increased her tips.
Others in the cast used different types of costumes to assist in their
assimilation of the Irish persona, such as wool hats and sweaters.
The cast includes Jean Meltebeke, Nicole Henderson, Scott Mulhern,
David Stuart Bull, Andrew Crawford, Carolyn Hewitt, Don Falslev, Dale
Wambolt, Eli Jennings, Kyle Rowan, Anita Ensley, Alan Geddes and
Michael Burke.
Tickets prices are: students $5, adults $7.50, and senior citizens $6.
Tickets are available at all Hult Center Ticket Outlets, Marketplace Books
and the LCC Box Office. For more information call the Lane Box Office at

KA VE will conduct it's first an• nual Earth Da'y concert, on the
Eugene downtown mall with
Arista recording artists, The

Crash Test Dummies, headlining
the show.
According to The KA VE, the
stage will be built on top of the
downtown fountain at the cross
streets of Willamette and Broadway on the downtown mall. •
The concert will be free, but
The KA VE is asking that all attendees participate by offereing a
small donation in the boxes that
will be located around all entrances
to the downtown mall. Donations
will go towards The Solutions
Fund, which has been established
by The KA VE and the McKenzie
River Foundation. The fund will

award grants to help organizations
which bridge the gap between environmental and labor concerns on
forestry issues.
• The festival, scheduled to
begin at 6 pm, will begin with
Eugene's Mark Allen, a favorite
among Eugene bar fans because of
his bluesy, rock style music. He'll
perform until around 7 p.m.
• Following Allen, Dennis Gilbert, founder of the Eugene/
Springfield Solidarity Network,
will speakaboutstrengthening and
finding better ways of communication between timber workers and
environmentalists. Gilbert once

taught physics classes at LCC.
• The Ron Lloyd Band will take
the stage at 7: 30 for an hour of bar
band and party music which has
gained a following among
Eugeneians who continue to search
for live entertainment.
• At 8:30, Linda Neil, founder
of The Portland Earth and Spirit
council, will speak about the interdependence of people and the
planet.
• Canada's Crash Test Dummies will perform at 9 p.m. Its
album, "The Ghosts That Haunt
Me," went triple platinum with sales
of over 300,000 copies in Canada

alone. The group's album has
sold more copies in Oregon than
in any other state in the nation.
The group's array of
instuments -- including accordion, harmonica, mandolin, cello,
violin, and banjo, along with
modem instruments -- helps
create its distinctive sound, which
ranges from country, R&B, traditional Irish, funk, and modern
folk.

Children offered route to all advanta ges
Shapiro attempts to 'make it special' for potential campers
by KELLEY EGRE
Torch Contributing Editor

Sending a child away to
summer camp can be a nerve
racking experience for parents
who are afraid to choose the
wrong camp for both their budget and their child.
Mother Roni Shapiro says
she can help.
Shapiro is director of Make
It Special, a summer camp referral service in Eugene.
"Parents call me if they're
interested in sending their son
or daughter to camp, they tell
me what they can afford and
what their children's interests
are, and I refer them to a camp
most suitable to everyone involved," she says. All Shapiro's
advice is free of charge.
"I love what I do and I do it
from the heart," she stresses.
"That's enough reward."
Shapiro started her small
business four years ago in
Florida after researching a

number of different camps for
her son.
"I was visiting him at one of
his camps and I met another
parent who had a referral service similar to the one I have
now," she says. "It sounded
like a really interesting and rewarding job which I had the
experience and contacts to do."
When she returned home,
she called the director of her
son's camp and asked him to
recommend a few 'quality'
camps.
"He taught me the business
and gave me the core (qualities) of ten excellent camps,"
she says.
Now she has her own list of
"summer opportunities," much
larger than the one she started
with, and says she is confident
her list is broad enough to suit
the needs of most any child.
"I take a personal interest in
every child I work with," she
says. "If I can get them to the
right place,' they ·will go (to the
same camp) for years. I know

Local spelunkers find
music, purpose at KAVE
by DEBORAH STOTLER
Torch Lead Writer
Imagine this: It's 1980. The
future co-owner and program director of The KA VE (95.3 FM),
Jordan Seaman, is on a beach
somewhere in Northern California.
With the peaceful Pacific and a
good book as his only companions, the young philosophy student could easily be in paradise.
But he's not, because
something'smissingandheCan' t
Get No Satisfaction.
Flash forward to 1992. It's
Sunday morning, and an exhausted Seaman, 30, is coming
down from his "temporary" stint
asthehostofTheKA VE'sweekly
talk show, ''Town Meeting." His
office is in a state of confusion boxes of compact discs stacked
everywhere - because the station is in the middle of a move

from the top floor of the Hilton
Hotel to the Center Court Building at Willamette and Broadway.
But Seaman, who practically
lives at The KA VE Eighl. Days A
, Week, loves to talk about his station. So he clears off the couch
and submits himself to an interview.
So what was missing from
Seaman's 1980 utopian beach
scene?
He says he remembers wishing there was "music all along the
beach."
When The Music is Your Only
Friend, says Seaman, then the
musical missing link is a Radio
Radio station. The rock 'n' roll
radio station of your dreams.
Seaman's arm sweeps across
• an imaginary expanse of sea and
sand. ''Today, (The KA VE) is a
reality, and here I am. If you asked
me back then what I might be
doing now, this is the absolute last
thing I'd say."

there is a right place for everyone."
To pinpoint the "right" program, Shapiro explores the potential camper's age, interests,
and maturity level.
"I want to expose the children to all avenues possible,"
she says.
According to Shapiro, it is
important that every child experience "the benefits of a good,
quality summer camp." She
also says that 99 percent of the
children who attend a summer
camp have a great time and
can't wait to return.
"I was living in California
when I sent my son to his first
camp," she says. At the time,
her son was 9 and she told him
he would go to camp every
year until he was married.
"He was a little shocked at
first, but he loved it from the
beginning and wanted to return
summer after summer," says
Shapiro. "Summer camp gives
children an opportunity to meet
new people, acclimate, learn,

As a philosophy student at
Stanford, the Broo~yn-born Seaman had become jaded by hours
spent debating world problems,
but not being able to do anything
about them. So he switched his
major to economics and returned
to the East Coast where he met
Dave Miller.
Miller and his New Jersey
childhood friend, Eric Alterman,
had their own radio dreams as
well. But those two became lawyers anyway. As for Seaman, he
put his idealism on hold and became an advertising executive.
The trio joined forces a few
years later when mutual disaffection with their lives led them to
abandon their professions and
follow their dreams into the unreal world of radio.

April 22, is one obvious example
of life on this new beach.
Nevertheless, according to the
analytical Seaman, in the beginning "nothingprcpared me for the
realities of radio. The business
side of radio is like no other business I can imagine."
The station's profits are determined two factors, he says. The
first is dependent on local businesses seeing the immediate affects of advertising with The
KAVE. The second is "a rating
system which pretends to deter mine the popularity of radio stations" using diary accounts mailed
to 750 respondents twice a year.
Another surprise for Seaman
was the cut-throat competition
between radio announcers who
must scramble after jobs. He says
one former employee prevented
him from meeting potential job
applicants, particularly Bear

the radio station of their dreams.
Somewhere along the way, they
formed JED, Inc., an acronym
formed from the first letters of
their first names. JED's journey
brought them to Eugene and they
bought The KA VE.
Seaman says recent cooperative efforts between JED and The
KA VE' s DJs has enabled the station to focus its attention on community activism projects. This

Concert on the Downtown Mall,

Corkery).
"Bear tried to get to us through
someone whohasn 't worked with
us since the beginning of The
KA VE," he says. Corkery was
told that after some deliberation,
JED decided they weren't interested in hiring him for one of the
coveted on-air spots.
In reality, marvels Seaman,
"We didn't even know who
Corkery was."
Corkery got the job anyway.
He celebrated his first anniversary with the station in January.
The station's format, a mix of
rock, blues and new music, as
well as the announcers, are just a
few of the reasons many people
listen to The KAVE. It's commu-

The Earth Day concert (see
Arts and Entertainment spread,
pages 6 and 7) is a joint venture
between The KA VE and The
McKenzie River Gathering
Foundation. It's a free concert,
but donations are welcome for
The Solutions Fund, an account
for groups attempting to bridge
the gap between environmental
and labor concerns on forestry
issues, says Seaman.
"Massive unemployment (in
the timber industry) affects everyone," he notes. "On the other
hand, I've seen people on TV
claim that the environmentalists
are the biggest problem with the
whole country."
The station predicts a large
turnout of both KA VE listeners
and non-listeners for the concert.
Seaman says the concert presents
an opportunity for everyone to
Come Together and hear all sides
of this volatile issue. He invites
"anyone interested in being involved in how the future happens" because "more voices to
~ more ears" means more informed
choices for everyone.
For people who want more of

choices, The KA VE offers its listeners the additional opportunity
this month to send feedback to

starting in May, says Counselor Julia
Poole.
Poole hires the students each year,
balancing between work-study and non
work-study students. Student Service
Associates can work with the counseling or Career Information Center (CIC)
staff, help at the front desk, as well as
providenew-studentsupportduringorientation and registration, and in classes
"We are looking for someone with
good communication skills, someone
who is a 'people person', someone who
enjoys working with and helping
people," says Poole
To apply for a position as a student
service associate, a student must first
obtain an application process form from

the CIC, main counseling desk or from
Poole.
Counseling will then contact applicants for group and individual interviews. Thehiringdecisionis announced
by mail about five days after the interview.
Herb Fredicksen says he became a
sludentservice associate because he saw
fliers around school and wanted a job on
campus. "I like to work with people so
I enjoy working in the Career InformaLion Center. I plan on returning next
year."
• In June, one week after classes end,
Poole will lead the new staff in a three
day training course at Heceta House on
the Oregon Coast. Then one month
before school starts, associates will participate in additional training in order to
help with orientation, scheduling and
regiS tration.
''Thereisalwaysalargehunkofwork
to do at the beginning of the school year,

but then during the term it settles down,"
says Poole, who was once a student
service associate herself.
Counselor Jean ·conklin, who has
been involved with the student service
association for about nine years, says,
'The group is so helpful with al·l the
duties the counseling department has to
do. They are invaluable."
According to Poole, any student who
is taking a minimum of six credits and is
able to make a one-year commitment is
encouraged to apply.
For more information about the Student Service Associate program, Poole
can be contacted in her office, 450B on
the fourth floor in the Center Building.
"Work-study students arc able to work
their alloted hours," says Poole.
"And most non-work study students
work between three and seven hours a
week, depending on how much time
they have."

Counselor Julia Poole says paid student associates
take care of a "big hunk of work" during fall term.

Adventure abounds along highway
limited time during the summer
months due to heavy snowfall and
adverse driving conditions spanning from early fall to late spring.
Hiking trails abound along this
pass, and hikers can trek deep into
either the Mt. Washington or
Three Sisters Wilderness Areas,
as we11 as through the lava beds
which crest the McKenzie summit.

by KIM MCCAULEY
Torch Travel Reporter
For those searching for adventure in the great outdoors -- fla-

vored with pioneer history -- the
old McKenzie Highway is a portal back to the days when wagons
traveled earthen paths instead of
asphalt highways. This passage
over the Cascades was forged in
the 1800s, when hearty settlers
labored across this passage
through treacherous lava fields
and forbidding wilderness.
The old McKenzie Highway
(State Hwy 242) begins approximately four miles east of the town
of McKenzie Bridge, and leads to
the town of Sisters. The turnoff
from Hwy I 26 is not clearly
marked, so be aware of mileage
after passing the bridge. To avoid
disappointment it is advisable to
check with the McKenzie River
ranger station for road accessibility. This pass is only open for a

The North Sister, seen from the Mckenzie Summit, is
one of the many spectacular sights available to the hiker
willing to make the advenurous trek.

First-time travellers should try
the trail that leads to Proxy Falls,
a very popular hiking and photography area. This trail begins approximately six miles from the
beginning of Highway 242 and is
clearly marked. One of the best
known trails, the Pacific Crest
National Scenic Trail, can be easily accessed from Lava Lake
campground, also marked.
Dee Wright Observatory lies
at the summit of the McKenzie
Pass. This site offers an impressive panoramic view of the vol-

canic activity that occurred centuries ago. The observatory itself
is constructed out of pumice, or
lava rock. Several surrounding
mountains are clearly in v icw from
this point. A variety of branching
trails wind through the surrounding Java fields, adding a sense of
knowledge with discovery to the
adventure.
Limberlost, Alder Springs and
Lava Lake are three overnight
campgrounds located along this
road. All offer no-fee camping.

Poor grades and lack of commitment decimate track team numbers
by ROBERT CATALANO
Torch Sports Editor
If it weren't for a few good men and women, the LCC track team
might not exist at an.
Since the start of the spring term, track and field head coach Larry
Callaway has lost over one-third of his team to academic ineligibility
and lack of desire.
"There were a few D's but a lot of Y grades (no basis for grade),"
says Callaway referring to the ineligibles. "A lot of those kids just
didn't want to work hard."
Callaway says the athletes remaining on the team (two women and
ten men) have a strong work ethic and are "committed to competing as
hard as they can," whether or not they excell in a particular event.
"What we don't have in numbers, we make up for in desire."
However, Callaway acknowledges it's difficult to win meets when
there are not enough athletes to enter in every event.
Although the athletes, as a team, have not won a meet this year,
many of them are doing well in competition.
In a March 28 Northwest Athletic Association of Community
Colleges(NWAACC)meetatSouthwestemOregonCC,inCoosB ay,
Steve Coxon won the 100 and 200-meter dashes, Jason Fleming won
the400-meter, and Brett Yancey placed first in the 800 and 1500-meter

runs.
Other field event winners were, Coxon in the pole vault, and Dan
Chapman in the shot put and discus.
AtLCC'sonlyhomemeetoftheyearonApril4,theloneTitaneven t
winner was Crystel Marklin in the 200 and 400-meter dashes.

LC C's Kevin Rhodes goes over the bar and takes second place at Lane's only home track meet of the
year on April 4. Because of poor grades and uncommited athletes, team numbers have dwindled.

Blue Jays and Rangers predicted as AL winners
by Robert Catalano
Torch Sports Editor
There won't be another last-tofirst scenario for the American
League this year, but for the first
time in history a team from Texas
will win a division crown and part
of the Word Series will be played
in Canada.

American League East
The Toronto Blue Jays will
win the American League East
hands down. They arc 7 -0 on the
young season and have added Jack
Morris to shore up an already deep
pitching staff, with Dave Winfield
to strengthen their designated hitting corps. This team is strong at
every position except shortstop,
and has a front office dedicated to
winning.
Roger Clemens, with or without a good season from newcomer
Frank Viola, can carry the Boston
Red Sox to second place on his
inspiration alone. If lefLy Viola
comes through 15-20 wins, and
rookie Phil Plantier lives up to the

promise he showed at the end of
last season, the Red Sox could
challenge the Jays.
The remaining teams m this
division will battle for third.
If the Baltimore Orioles get
good pitching from Ben McDonald
and rookie Mike Mussina, as well
as comeback-player-of-the-year
type seasons from pitcher Rick
Sutcliffe and first baseman Glenn
Davis, they will finish third; but no
higher.
The New York Yankees have
made improvements by acquiring
outfielder Danny Tartabull and
pitcher Melida Perez, but the team
still has too many question marks
in the mound corps and on the
infield to contend for the division
crown.
If the youth movement in
Cleveland works to perfection,
the Indians could move up as high
as fourth this year and possibly
contend for a division championship in a few years. However, perfection in baseball rarely happens
and the Indians seem to have come

up short m the luck department
since 1954. Even so, the Indians
will not finish last inl 992.
Luck also seems to run short for
the Milwaukee Brewers. Injuries
have decimated this team's
chances since 1984. For them to
finish anywhere but dead last, veterans Robin Yount, Paul Molitor
and Jim Gantner must remain
healthy.
How the Detroit Tigers finished third last year is a mystery.
They are truly a one-dimensional
team. They have hitting galore, in
between the strikeouts. They have
little speed, and their pitching staff
has been surviving on guile for the
past few years. This team's best
asset is manager Sparky Anderson.

season. Although they acqmred
John Smiley to replace the mercenary Jack Morris, the Twins still
have an unsettled starting pitching
situation and an injury to team
leader Kent Hrbek to overcome.
The hardest team to figure in
this division is the Seattle Mariners. This team has good pitching,
adequate speed, and good hitting,
but doesn't seem to have enough
of each to perform consistently
over a 162-game schedule. If Kevin
Mitchell hits 40 homers and Randy
Johnson or Erik Hanson win 20
games, this team could go as high
as second. Fifth sounds more like
it.
On paper, the California Angels don't look like a sixth place
team, but in this division, adequate
is mediocre. The pitching staff
looks great with southpaws Jim
Abbott, Mark Langston and Chuck
Finley, and relief ace Bryan
Harvey, but run support for these
pitchers will be minimal.
The Kansas City Royals will
finish last for a number of reasons.
The primary cause will be the addition of ex-Mets Kevin
McReynolds and Greg Jeffries .
The latter is a crybaby and the
former can't handle press scrutiny. They will cause dissension
and wreck havoc with the home• town team-oriented style of the
Royals. This may be the last year
for AL fans to see future Hall-ofFamer George Brett.
The Toronto Blue Jays will
defeat Texas in a six-game series
in which the Rangers will win and
lose two high-scoring games, and
be shutout in two others.

This is without a doubt the best
division in Major League Baseball. During the 1991 season all
seventeamsfinished.500orabove.
This season.however, there will
be changes. Minnesota will not
win the division and the Kansas
City Royals, with three ex-New
York Mets on their rosLer, will
wind up dead last.

The winner in 1992 will be th(:
Texas Rangers. With the exception of Nolan Ryan, this is a young
and hungry team. There is not
much depth in the pitching staff,
but good seasons from Ryan,
Bobby Witt, and Jeff Russell
should be more than enough to
compliment the team's awesome
hitting power.
The return of Camey Lansford
and the reawakening of Mark
McGwire 's slumbering bat should
be enough to lead the Oakland A's
to second place. To contend, however, they need Bob Welch and
Dave Stewart to return to 1990
form and they need Joe Slusarski
to win 12-15 games.
Frank Thomas and Robin
Ventura had great seasons in 1991,
but if the Chicago White Sox are
to challenge the Rangers and the
A's, these two young players must
either match or improve their 1991
totals. Roger McDowell and
Bobby Thigpen return to anchor
one of the better pitching staffs in
the majors.
