Lane County’s livability is crystal clear ev-

1996 coup d’état. Good-bye to Eugene’s

PISH A NO-SHOW
The very fi rst rule of effectiveness is:
Show up.
I served for two terms on the city of
Springfi eld’s Budget Committee, repre-
senting the same ward as Joe Pishioneri.
The other City Council members showed
up, barring council-related commitments.
Pishioneri seldom attended.
People can have illnesses and other things
that come up ... but for two terms? The citi-
zens of our ward deserved better from him.
He’s also running a negative ad
campaign in his current bid for public
offi ce. And spending a lot of money to
get it. I always wonder about politicians
who are willing to spend huge amounts of
money to get a position that pays modestly.
Will he be there for us? I’m voting for
John Lively.

LOCAL FOOD INSECURITY
I appreciated the recent article [9/20]
on “Children in Poverty” as part of the
“Shortchanging our Schools” series. I’d
like to share information about our Farm
to School Program, which is working to
address food insecurity in four schools in
the Eugene/Springfi eld area which have
the highest percentage of students in
poverty. Many of the students we serve
don’t have access to adequate food at
home and don’t have exposure to farms
or gardens. Students participate in lessons
on where food comes from, farm fi eld
trips, cooking with food from the farm,
school garden sessions, nutrition lessons
and farm to school tasting tables. Through
our new Family Outreach Program we are
increasing their families’ exposure and
access to fresh, locally grown foods.
At our events families can sample fresh
locally grown fruits and vegetables and re-
ceive produce to take home. We provide
coupons for use at nearby farmers markets
or farm stands and fl yers educating fami-
NARROWING THE CHOICE
Living on the “right” side of the river, I can’t
vote in the Eugene Ward 2 City Council race.
But if I could, I’d want to support a candidate
