The Shedd Institute BLM BS NEWMAN IS A LEADER The Willamette National Forest and the Eugene BLM have planned more than 8,000 acres of logging within Eugene’s municipal watershed, the McKenzie Wa- tershed. Most of these timber sales (Green Mountain, Goose, McKenzie Landscape, McKenzie View) are composed of pristine native forest. The Forest (Lumber) Service and BLM have learned to deceptively label logging of natural stands as a “thinning.” This as- sures them that local forest protection groups will “go along to get along.” To a forester, the term “thinning” only applies to management of tree plantations. Many Eugene residents know the McK- enzie River’s pristine water is derived from the Collier Glacier and other diminishing glaciers on the Three Sisters peaks. How- ever, the Collier Glacier is predicted to dis- appear within a decade or two. When this happens, the thousands of miles of small streams flowing off native conifer forests and ancient soils will be- come vital to the McKenzie and Eugene’s citizens. The toxic tree farms on the lower McKenzie will not sustain our community with a safe supply of water. The Willamette National Forest and Eugene BLM, through these ecosystem- destroying timber sales, are mounting a di- rect attack on our community’s resiliency to future climate extremes, Eugene’s safe water supplies and economic stability. Shannon Wilson Eugene We support Judy Newman for 4J School Board, position 3. As teachers in Eugene for over 30 years and leaders in the teach- ers’ union, we met and worked with com- mitted community leaders and educators who stand up for kids and who understand and respect the role of teachers as profes- sionals. Judy Newman is one of the leaders at the top of that list. Newman will get things done for kids. Judy will fight for public schools. Newman is pro-teacher. Newman is by far as dedi- cated and effective as anyone we worked with for our kids, and Newman has a track record of 35 years in this town advocating for kids and public education. Please join us in supporting Judy New- man for 4J School Board, position 3. Paul Duchin and Merri Steele Eugene ROSIEK STANDS UP FOR STUDENTS Oregon’s Working Families Party has endorsed Evangelina Sundgrenz for Eu- gene 4J School District Position 6 and Jerry Rosiek for Positon 3. Sundgrenz is running unopposed. Rosiek is in a hotly contested three-way race. All three candidates for Position 3 are highly qualified, but Rosiek stands out because he stands up. Our public schools are at risk, under attack from corporate in- terests pushing vouchers, testing and for profit charter schools. Rosiek offers strong leadership.
