musical comedy
the OOC does — a group has to be pretty
disreputable in order to have their own
treasurer turn them into the attorney
general’s offi ce! The charges against the
OOC administrators are very serious.
The OOC is a facade created by trophy
hunters just two years ago, whereas the
conservation groups that have repeatedly stood
up for the cougars are reputable organizations
like the Humane Society, Predator Defense,
ForestWeb, Cascadia Wildlands and the
Oregon Cougar Action Team.
OOC is trying to do a brazen end-
run around the will of Oregon’s voters;
the Legislature needs to stand up to their
intimidation. Learn more at orecat.org and
send a “No on HB 2624” email to your
senators!

GETTING IT TOGETHER
Last fall I was encouraged, urged really,
by well-respected friends and colleagues
to attend a Paul Cienfuegos workshop. I
visited his website paulcienfuegos.com and
while intrigued, I was skeptical. In the end,
I went and became fully engaged in a new
way of looking at “democracy.” Paul is a
seasoned educator with a fresh perspective
and a deep historical understanding which
sheds light on current governmental/
corporate dysfunction. Please come see for
yourself from 6 to 9 pm Thursday, June 13,
at LCC’s Building 17, Room 308. The only
way to get it together is together.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Cienfuegos is also planning a Florence
workshop June 14 at a time and place TBA.
MATTHEWS FOR COMMISH
Kevin Matthews is just the sort of
person we need to bring a fresh voice to the
County Commission race. When I heard
Kevin speak at the fi rst “Conversations on
the Forest” event, I was impressed by his
articulate and well-constructed arguments
while discussing forest economics and
ecology. Since then, I have gotten to know
Kevin has a colleague and as a friend.
He is diligent in his volunteer work as a
community organizer and dedicated to
improving life in Lane County. Kevin will
bring new ideas to the table and open up
a discussion to fi nd real solutions to our
county’s economic problems. I, for one,
am glad he’s decided to step up to this
challenge and will enthusiastically support
his efforts.

AUDITOR IS A WASTE
What I’ve experienced with the Eugene
police auditor’s offi ce is a waste of time
and money. You would think they are
supposed to defend the general public and
their complaints against the police, which
is just the opposite. All they do is defend
the police and the present auditor, Mark
Gissiner, who was accused by former
auditor Cris Beamud of shredding a lot of
fi les, which he shouldn’t have been doing.
It’s time to eliminate the auditor’s offi ce
and save the taxpayers a lot of money.
