I want to express my displeasure with
Seneca Sawmill owner Aaron Jones’ recent
full-page advertisement in The Register-
Guard. Jones’letter is misleading, at best. In it,
he asserts that Measure 37 does not cost the
government a dime. What Jones fails to men-
tion is that Measure 37 does cost the people of
Oregon a great deal, specifically hundreds of
thousands of acres of beautiful land that make
Oregon such a wonderful place to call home.
The people of Oregon are lucky to have
representatives like Floyd Prozanski, who’s
worked hard to see to it that Measure 37 sees
the ballots on Nov. 6. It’s time that
Oregonians vote on what Measure 37 is re-
ally all about: the commercialization of some
750,000 acres of Oregon’s pristine landscape.

IGNORANT DRIVERS
I am appalled at the level of impatience
and
disrespect
that
drivers
in
Eugene/Springfield have for pedestrians and
cyclists. Every day I witness drivers cutting
the corners while a pedestrian is in a cross-
walk, just barely scraping by them!
My own experiences within the last two
weeks (two in downtown Eugene and one in
Springfield) have taken my frustration to new
heights. When a crosswalk light turns in my
favor and I start to cross, that doesn’t mean
you can just cut me off and keep driving! One
rude driver on the corner of Harlow and
Pheasant Boulevard on Saturday, May 19,
looked me in the eye and then headed straight
for me, turning the corner without a care. She
even had the nerve to flip me off! My mes-
sage to her: How dare you! Shame on you for
your ignorance!
Even my boyfriend, who rides a bike to
work every day, has stories of drivers who
don’t look and don’t care.
So, please have some respect and patience
when you are driving. Look for others and
take care not to run them over!
