Hendricks Park, “Mending Natural Systems
in Our Cities” is a workshop aimed at inte-
grating concepts of environmental education,
restoration and community through discus-
sion sessions that will focus on questions

community stewardship?”
Featured speakers are Dr. Robin

land and community; Bruce Newhouse, pres-
ident of the Native Plant Society of Oregon;

CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS
Regarding last week’s short news item on
Jay Bozievich and the petition to stop a three-
year tax hike, Bozievich tells us he has pub-
licly endorsed the petition, but not during an
LCC Board meeting. “In the LCC Board
meeting I only stated that I felt we should not
count on any of the money from HB 2152 be-
cause it was most likely going to be referred
(based on the number of organizations in the
signature drive coalition) and subsequently
repealed (based on previous history of
Measure 28).” Also, Bozievich was labeled a
Libertarian in the story, but he switched to the
Republican Party a few days after his unsuc-
cessful run for the Legislature in 2002.
