Eugene: just your average hippie,
loqqer, liberal, conservative town
By Alice Wheeler
fcp«vaid Eo.iof
Irving In find I In* rihht
words to dose r ith■ Kugene is not
.in easy task It is .1 town
unique unto itself
The population here li.is con
tinued to grow over the past
few years, primarily liec ause of
< ialifornians moving north It is
hot and drv tor two months in
the summer and wet then wet
ter the rest ot the year
Hut laigenians don't seem to
notic e the rain mm h They are
usually too husv with the i mu
plexities of life Issues sin h as
the reopening of Willamette
Street, maintaining a nuclear
tree zone status attrai ting big
business to the area i armg for
homeless families, bringing the
life bar h to the dow ntown area,
funding education and paying
property taxes |)us! to name a
few issues) keep people busy
( file of I lie biggest t one el ns
fac.ing the NortInvest is its
dwindling timber supply and
the incredible effec t the tinibei
harvests have had on the envi
ronment
Tin* I biiversitv and the tim
her industry .ire two ol tht* big
gest employers in Kugene l ’n
iortunately for limber industry
workers these st.itistn s might
soon lie i hanging Weyer
haeuser a wood products ( om
panv. has recently made some
largo employee < tits. The wood
prodtn I industry ( laims the
cuts are due to the amount of
hold that is being set aside to
protect the environment, in
parfii ular the spotted owl
Knvironmentalists i laim that
the timber industry has cut too
imu h too hist, and in the pro
cess has destroyed much of
what remains of the am lent for
ests After a long battle, the
spotted owl was finally dc
i iared a threatened species and
sei turns of forests have been set
aside for its habitat
flic battle is not over and
may never be as Oregon's old
est industry struggles to sur
vive and i itizens become ai
livists over brutal-look i ng
clear i uts surrounding the val
ley.
The; best way to understand
the idiosyncrasies of the town
is to check it out lor vuurself. li
you want to see what a c lear
c ut looks like, drive out to (am
gar Reservoir and look at the
hills surrounding you. II vou
want to know about the home
less problems, stop bv the Hu
gene Mission, 1542 \\’ First
Ave II you want to understand
the complexities of the down
town mall and Willamette
Street spend an afternoon win
dow shopping on the mail.
Kxploring it for yourself is
the best way to get to know the
town, because no hroc hure, cat
alog or newspaper c an truly
c apture the essence of Kligene
It is the farmers, the loggers
the business people, the stu
dents, the store owners, the
radicals. the conservatives,
who make up the esseni e ol
Fugene Despite the differing
ideas and lifestyles they live to
gether and make Fugene a great
place to live.
