"Hric was just grandstanding because he's a candidate for mayor and I don't want to dignify his campaign," Clay said Saturday. Clay said he wasn't even sure Jf Olsen's replacement Mark Jensen is a Republican or Democrat.

"It wasn't a political decision," Clay said, "We picked the best man with the best expertise for the job In order to make the fairgrounds more cost-efficient." Hric vowed to retaliate in the General Assembly by fighting legislation sought by Clay and other Gary officials to have the state provide $2 million for construction of Black Hall of Fame. Hric praised Clay's political foe f-Democratic Gary Mayor Richard G. Hatcher for never deserting the Democratic Party regardless of how other Democrats had treated Hatcher. "This is not a black-and-white issue," Hric said, "It's the Rpnnhlirans vs. the Democrats, and EAST CHICAGO Lake County Commissioner Rudolph Clay was branded a "traitor to the Democratic Party" Saturday by Rep.

Paul Hric, D-Hammond. Hric criticized Clay, D-Gary, for allowing several longtime Democratic county workers to be replaced last week by what he said were "Republican employees." "It is a big slap in the face of every Democrat in Hammond to replace Lake County Fairgrounds Superintendent Billy Olsen with a Republican," Hric said. Olsen is Hammond's Democratic city chairman.

Many of the estimated 600 people who have been in the East Chicago program are Hammond residents, Torres said, "and they wanted something closer." "The goal is for every city to eventually have their own program," he said. "I want to make the distinction that this is not a government-run program," Torres said. "People tend to get turned off by those types of programs because they get frustrated with the forms and red tape involved." One of the major problems the program faces is skepticism, Torres said. "It sounds too good to be true." Participants will get 40 to 50 pounds of fresh food ia eight categories meat, fruit, potatoes, vegetables, canned goods, bread products, pasta and grains, and miscellaneous items.

The food is purchased wholesale by buyers across the country, Torres said. Food packages are inexpensive because the program is run by volunteers and their is no overhead or markup. "The program is intended to serve anybody who comes to the site to register," Torres said. "It doesn't matter if they make $1,000 a year or a $100,000 a year."
