MATTHEWS FOR COMMISH
I support Kevin Matthews for the
nonpartisan position of East Lane County
Commissioner. Kevin’s diverse educational
and occupational background has given
him a comprehensive understanding
of the many important issues county
commissioners must tackle.
His preparation includes several
unpaid governmental positions, including
service on the BLM Pacifi c Northwest
Secure Rural Schools Resource Advisory
Committee and the Lane Regional Air
Protection Agency Budget Committee.
He has spent countless hours in
such volunteer activities as working
with Eugene’s Southeast Neighbors to
protect the Amazon Creek headwaters
from inappropriate development and
participating in “Conversations on the
Forest,” a series of public discussions
seeking to fi nd equitable and sustainable
solutions to effective timber management
in Lane County.
The impressive number of individuals
and groups endorsing his candidacy
demonstrates his broad appeal. He has
run an energetic and positive campaign,
appearing before numerous groups and
visiting thousands of households in the
district he seeks to represent.
Kevin will work collaboratively with
fellow commissioners to increase the
transparency and accountability of Lane
County government, and work to improve
Lane County’s economy while protecting
the environment.

join me in voting for him!

MORE THAN JUST A SCHOOL
Southeast of Eugene lies my hometown
and the small community of Pleasant
Hill. The town is small but holds many
dear memories to the town folk. The high
school is where most of us made those
lifelong memories, either at football games,
barbeques, the always exciting Mr. Billie,
or even just having fun in class. Honestly,
that building is more than just a school; it’s
where many teenagers developed lifelong
relationships and where the core of those
touching memories originated. I would
strongly urge a “yes” vote on Ballot Measure
20-221. The school district deserves it.
More than just memories, the school
has provided many young teens with a very
high quality education. College classes are
now offered at Pleasant Hill, along with a
wide range of AP classes. The friendly staff
and faculty are defi nitely a blessing to the
kids. The renovation of this school would
make the already high-quality education
even better. The high-quality education is
offset by the poor quality of the facilities.
Last year, as a senior, I completed almost
two semesters of college at Pleasant Hill
High School. With this bond, the school can
be technologically updated, and be provided
with more than just a handful of computers
for its growing enrollment. I would strongly
encourage a vote of “yes” on Measure 20-221.
This school has provided a lot of young
Lane County Parks wants to fill Mount Pisgah
with cars, campers and concert-goers.
They call that "Emerald Meadows"
You can help freeze "Emerald Meadows" by
calling the county commissioners
before their May 13 vote .
