Homes south of Agness, Oregon get orders to evacuate

Thanks. I've already sent one off to Kitz. I'm still debating (with myself) on who to send some others.

EBUCK

thanks, B4. took me a while to get back here... had to go with Pete to the gun store.
you know, one of those fifteen minute trips to buy a bulb for the maglight...
that ends up taking three hours and maxing the visa card. eek.

Pete - take a look at #12... maybe that won't be B4's barbeque smoking up the valley on your next trip through.

good morning Dave.

i try to keep up with the fires in oregon. i've got family in grant's pass, burns, and port orford.
if you have a ping list for these great threads you've been shepharding, i'd sure appreciate being included.

Anyone with a Glock in their Freeper Name will get included in a ping list.

I keep forgetting about your relatives in Oregon.

Here is an interesting stat that Andy Kerr, Katzntaxer, Katzzie, the ONRC and all card carrying greens can be happy about:

Oregon again listed as hungriest state in nation

The Associated Press, 8/16/02 3:38 AM

SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- Six out of every 100 households in Oregon are going hungry, the highest rate in the nation, according to a new study.

It is the second time in three years Oregon has been named as the hungriest state in the nation.

Oregon also ranks as the third worst state in terms of food security, according to the study released Thursday by the Food Security Institute at the Center on Hunger and Poverty at Brandeis University in Massachusetts.

"By any calculation, there are too many hungry people and that's unacceptable," said Pam Curtis, a health policy adviser in the office of the governor.

At the root of the problem, state and local officials said, is Oregon's stubborn recession, which has produced the highest unemployment rate in the country.

Even those with jobs said they are struggling.

Reagan Fischer, 25, of Salem, works at a fast-food outlet but seeks the help of St. Vincent de Paul, a local food bank, every two months. "I don't make enough," she said. "I don't have kids so I don't qualify for food stamps."

She said after taxes, she barely has enough to get by from paycheck to paycheck.

Ana Rivera, 30, of Salem, a mother of three, also gets help from St. Vincent de Paul even though her husband works in nurseries and does landscaping.

"Sometimes we don't have enough money to buy food," she said. "My husband pays the rent, bills, car insurance ... we don't have enough sometimes."

Researchers used population and U.S. Department of Agriculture food security data to show the percentage of households in each state considered "hungry" or "food insecure.

A hungry household is one whose members often feel pain because of a lack of food. A food-insecure household is one whose members don't know where their next meal is coming from.

According to the study, 6.2 percent of Oregon households were in a state of hunger from 1998 through 2000, the period covered by the study.

It showed 14.3 percent of Oregon households were food-insecure -- the third highest rate after New Mexico and Texas.

Margaret Grant, executive director of Marion-Polk Food Share, said the food bank has seen steady increases in demand since 1996, the first year Oregon was found to have high hunger rates.

Since 1996, the demand for help from the food bank has increased by more than 10 percent each year and in the past 12 months, it has had a 15 percent hike - its largest yet.

The Club Sierrians, Andy Kerr, the ONRC, Dirt Firsters and various Green Jihadists are starving Oregon with their rabid no harvesting of trees cult/agenda. Kitz and Katz have enabled this anti job green behavior.

Remove all the green scum from power, and you will see a rebound in jobs and innocent people in Oregon will not be going hungry.

Every GD tree hugger should be arrested for child abuse when they keep legal trees from being harvested. The tree huggers are nothing but foot soldier watermelons working against capitalism. Time to thin out the green herd by removing them from power and arresting them for endangering the Oregon population with their agendas/tactics.

Just more Rural and semi urban cleansing by the very evil new Nazis of America, the Green Eco Nazis of Oregon!

There is sure a lot of smoke in the Valley today !!

Stop the attacks by the wacko, extreme left-wing, enviro-nazis terrorist's on our Freedoms !!

Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!
