The Shedd Institute his creativity. He has built a passive solar green house to help heat their house. In this greenhouse he has a composting toilet that helps save water and recycle minerals back to the earth. In addition they have solar panels that help to provide electricity for them and their neighbors. He believes that we only have one Earth and we need to help preserve it for our children and future grand children. MaryJo has contributed to our town with her Rosebud consignment shop. It has really helped our children to get clothes and toys cheap or for trade. What is left over gets donated back to the needy in our community. Ron was on the start-up board of the Emerald People’s Utility District and did a great job in bringing us better service and cheaper rates. Now is the time to re- elect and recycle Ron back into the public service that he did so well. He may be 70, but he has the heart and energy of a 40-year- old to do great things for the people and environment. He’s so smart and caring. If he can build a solar recumbent electric bicycle I think he can put the people back in the utility district. Cindy Ware Cottage Grove That person is Juan Carlos Valle ,who came to this country looking for opportunities and who knows what it is to be homeless, hungry and shunned. He worked the migrant worker circuit both in Oregon and Washington, earning little money but building determination to do better. He earned his way through higher education at LCC, where he was recognized as a distinguished scholar, then went on to the UO and made it all the way to grad school in policy and management. His voice has been heard on many committees and task forces in our city. Juan Carlos has established partnerships to address air and ground pollution in west Eugene and on top of that he is an advocate for social justice for all. His hard work, education, community involvement, and his willingness to take the lead when necessary have prepared him to join the City Council. His candidacy brings new insight and a new voice to the council. It’s time for a change; pass your vote for Juan Carlos Valle, a man with a vision. Lyllye B. Parker Eugene MAN WITH A VISION We have recently become aware of the slanderous attacks against our longtime friend Ron Davis who is currently running for the EPUD Board. To attempt to refute each lie would be a waste of energy and time, which we believe is exactly what these people want. It is a smoke-and- We need an elected offi cial who would bring a strong integrity, a vision and desire to move our city forward, one who would promote a healthy and productive economic system with respect for the environment for our children. www.theshedd.org - 541-434-7000 Le Vent du Nord Friday, Nov 9 Sat, Nov 10 Shirley Andress When The Sun Comes Out Nov 1 & 4 Dick Hyman Lindsay Deutsch DISTRACTING FROM THE ISSUES Governor Kitzhaber is seeking applicants for the Lane Transit District Board.
