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.

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.

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. He
