PRO SOCCER AT CIVIC
It was so much fun back then, on a hot,
beautiful summer evening, to walk to Civic
Stadium, grab a bean burrito and a brewskie,
sit in the old, rickety bleachers, view the
magnifi cent south hills at sunset and cheer
on the Eugene Emeralds. I would see old
friends and meet new ones. While the Ems
have moved to greener Duck pastures, the
grand old stadium is still there!
There’s at least one leader in our
community that recognizes the value of
preserving and renovating a histor ic venue
in honor of a generation that had to endure
the Great Depression and World War II, and
to use it to have fun — for recreation, sports
and music. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce
to you the Lane United Football Club, a
nonprofi t organization that has researched
the feasibility of and developed the business
plan for sponsoring a “professional soccer”
team for the greater Eugene-Springfi eld
area. They are convinced it’s a defi nite go!
Have you seen the wild fan support for the
Portland Timbers? If we Laners want to
have as much fun as Portlandia, we need
to take the next step by supporting Lane
United. Go to their website, laneunitedfc.
org, and become a “charter member” or
donate to help this dream come true.
How wonderful it is to honor a
generation who sacrifi ced so much for us
by protecting and renovating a recreational
venue they built in the heart of what is now
the South Willamette District!

DEXTER CALLING
For those on the waiting list to get into
the crowded Lane County Farmers Market
[see cover story last week], the Dexter
Lake Farmer’s Market is accepting new
farmers and arts and craft vendors. Our
market is gearing up for its fi fth season
starting Sunday, May 19, from noon until
3 pm at the Dexter State Recreation Area
on Hwy. 58 on the lake. We have boating,
swimming, disc golf, hiking, fi shing and
picnic areas. Our market is a great place
for our community to gather and support
local farmers and artisans without having
to drive 15 miles into Eugene. In the last
few years there have been quite a few
neighborhood farmers markets and I
suggest supporting these decentralized
markets rather than grow the one large
Lane County Farmers’ Market.
