LET THE
TO THE EDITOR
There is a way to treat each other and
communicate our feelings and needs. See
Rosenbergs’
book
Nonviolent
Communication.
The existing problem is massive, the solu-
tions difficult to imagine. The current justice
system needlessly fills jails, is intolerable and
heartbreaking. There is a more effective way.

SUPPORT OUR OWN
We just got rid of a natural foods corpora-
tion from out of state when Wild Oats left
Eugene because there was not a big enough
space available for their envisioned opera-
tions. (Real reason?)
Capella Market — staffed by Oasis and
Wild Oats former employees so happy to be
in their old home again now on a comfortable
basis — Sundance, Friendly Market, The
Kiva, The Red Barn, Market of Choice will
all be hurt by the city’s subsidizing of a
Whole Foods big-box store in downtown
Eugene. And how will our seasonal Farmers’
Market, now expanded to three days, com-
pete with the Texas corporation?
Please write Mayor Piercy and our city
councilors, today: Let your leaders know
that Eugene supports its own, not out-of-state
corporations who will siphon off the life-
energy of our wonderful, healthful, small
businesses.
