Little to speak; VanLeeuwen to be absent at Thursday night discussion By Dave Grumboi of the Lebanon Express The candidates for District 37 state representative are following their own strategies to win voters as the Nov.

3 general election approaches. The American Legion will sponsor a political forum at 7 p.m. Thursday night at 480 Main but only Democratic nominee Sharon Little will be on hand. Republican incumbent Liz VanLeeuwen is attending a meeting of the Western States Legislative Task Force for Forestry in Alberta, Canada. Former Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer will moderate the event.

On VanLeeuwen said she wanted her constituents to know that her absence was precipitated by her efforts to represent them. "My message to the voters is to continue to refuse to say that we have adequate natural resources," she said. "Timber is the lifeblood of our community. "It's time to say that people are as important as animals and birds." Little said her presentation would focus on two main issues; getting the district to qualify for economic development grant dollars and the preservation of small businesses. If we're in Portland or Beaver-ton, the system works fine," she said.

"But metro area legislation doesn't work here. Smaller communities apply for lottery dollars, but only get part way through the process because they find out they don't qualify." Ballot Measure 9, which would discourage the government from Eromoting or facilitating omosexuality, has drawn considerable voter attention this year. VanLeeuwen and Little By Davs GrtiRtbols Liz VanLeeuwen personally feel that he is talking to me." Goetz, 18, will vote in his first presidential election. He said he thought more young people will come out to the polls this year because of concentrated efforts to get them to register. "I think we're really starting to get in-volved," he said.

"I've seen where Clinton has addressed youth forums on MTV. It's almost as if he's addressing the whole cross-spectrum spending time talking to youth, spending time talking to labor, spending time talking to management. lie seems to be more inclusive." While Goetz praised Clinton for addressing youth, he said it was hard to categorize how the majority of young Americans would vote. "It's hard to lump people together and say, 'This is what kids will he said. "I have friends on different sides of (a given) issue." Goetz listed health care as a top issue facing voters.

"Health care will be very important," he said. "I think Clinton's plan will help things out. It may not be the total answer, but it's better than what we've got now. I think it will help most people." (Clinton's health plan calls for private of the Lebanon Express EUGENE You can tell a lot about a person when you get to see them face-to-face. That's what Lebanon resident Dan Goetz had to say after being on hand to greet Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton at the Eugene airport Monday.

A crowd of about 500 people were on hand to greet the Arkansas governor. Clinton stopped to shake hands with the congregation, but didn't formally address the crowd. But Goetz said he was convinced that Clinton was the man for the presidency after listening to Clinton on news reports and seeing him in person. "He didn't talk to anyone, but he was slowing down and taking the time to shake everyone's hand," Goetz said. Goetz said he would vote for Clinton because of the governor's empathy for the "I like someone who talks to me, rather than someone who talks at me or over me," he said.

"He tries to find out what I want and not what he thinks is best for me. When Bush talks to people, I don't shared differing opinions on the measure. "Why shoyld we give special rights to those who choose an-alternative lifestyle?" VanLeeuwen asked. "People say it's unconstitutional. Maybe it is, maybe it But if it passes, maybe it will send a message to that people really do care about what will be taught to theirftids." Little said she disagreed with Ballot Measure 9.

"I think people will maintain their same values with or without Measure 9," she said. "The court cases, litigation fees and loss of business contracts" would hurt our economy even further. Right now, we need to be joining together rather than dividing up people in society."

Goetz said he was pleased to see the number of people who turned out to see Clinton in Eugene. "There were differing opinions there, and I was glad to see that," he said. "This is democracy, and we need to have an exchange of ideas." Clinton stopped briefly to meet with timber families before leaving for his next campaign stop in San Jose, Calif.

a.1 Stewart relives experience 'for "A Current Affair" By Allison Bailey Shanks said Method, 45, is suspected of obtaining money from various women in Oregon and Colorado, including Stewart, under false pretenses. Shanks said Method's arrest wouldn't have been possible without Stewart's help. "It takes a lot of guts to come forward and tell people about something like he said. Shanks said Method allegedly took taking $1,875 from Stewart which he was supposed to use as part of a down payment on a mobile home for her. Instead, Method allegedly kept the "money, Shanks said.

The detective said his department is planning to charge Method with theft by deception. According to an article published Sept. 3 in The Denver Post, Method also is wanted in Colorado for four counts of, felony theft and two counts of second-degree forgery. Shanks said the FBI also had a warrant out against Method for flight to avoid prosecution. Television reporter Stephen Langford said the story brought "Current Affair" to town to interview Shanks and Stewart.

Langford said heand his crew also planned to try and talk to Method at the Washington County Jail. Langford said Saturday that the story is scheduled to be included in an upcoming episode of the television program. He said the segment may be shown this coming weekend on "Current Affair Extra." Since the programs are syndicated, Langford said viewers will have to check the local television listings to find out the time and station. of the Lebanon Express Bright lights and cameras came to Lebanon Saturday when a reporter and camera crew from the syndicated televison program "A Current Affair" interviewed a local woman and a police detective. Sue Stewart, 37, a talented and gifted instructor based at Crowfoot Elementary School, and Lebanon Police Det.

Tim Shanks both said they were kind of nervous about the television interview. "It's not something I'm accustomed to," Det. Shanks said. He said it was worth it-to help publicize Stewart's case, however. i "If there's anymore women who have been victimized out there I hope they see the show and they contact the police," he said.

Stewart said she agreed to be interviewed by the television program because she wanted to set a good example for her students. "I tell my students it's important to do what's right even if you're scared or embarrassed," she said. "I think it's important to be assertive." Stewart also wants to send a message out to other women, she said. "It's important that' we take control of our lives." "When someone tries to take advantage of us, we need to fight back and stand up for ourselves." As was reported last week, Shanks said Stewart gave police information which helped them arrest' Jerome David Method in Beaverton Sept. 1.
