ple of this country. I will bet you 50 cents
on the dollar that you used to believe
that Nancy Pelosi represents the 99 per-
cent. I will bet you the Brooklyn Bridge
that Chuck Schumer takes as much cor-

This is not over. Vote Bernie.

VOTE FOR TRIEGER
As a health care professional, I am
impacted by the COVID-19 crisis every
day. Locally and statewide, we have a
paid sick time ordinance allowing work-
ers to stay home when they are sick, or
when a loved one is sick.
Laurie Trieger led the fight for that,
which has benefited all of us in this
crisis. Without this, everyone would
continue to drag themselves into work
regardless of how they feel or how sick
someone is at home in order to keep the
job or pay they desperately need. As we
see now, this endangers the entire com-
munity. In tandem, we see how much
employers must pay sick time appropri-
ately to keep us all safe.
Fortunately, Oregon’s workers have
been accumulating sick time benefits
since Trieger went to bat for us and won.
Many of Oregon’s sick workers were
able to stay home early in this epidemic.
While we’ll never be able to quantify the
effect, we know that this has slowed the
spread of the virus.
Trieger has led effective campaigns
for living wages, healthy food in schools
and low-income neighborhoods, and the
elimination of predatory lending practic-
es by payday loan companies. She cares
about kids and working families and has
smart ideas and creative strategies to
adapt to and combat climate change.
Effective leadership at all levels of
government is what we need. I encour-
age everyone in South Eugene to join me
in supporting Trieger for County Com-
missioner. Stay home and stay safe!

Covid Updates at Capella Market
We are honored to be your local neighborhood grocery store and I want to thank every shopper for your
ongoing support. During these unprecedented times we need to make some changes to our business model to
remain viable through the immediate challenges and beyond. These changes are effective immediately:
Store hours: 9am to 8pm daily
Senior Discount Days: Wednesdays and Sundays
After careful consideration, we are modifying our senior discount policy. The senior discount will be offered
on Wednesdays and Sundays. As always, this 10% discount applies to shoppers who are 65 and better. We
are delighted to honor the senior discount on those two days. This applies to our senior proxy shopping
program as well.
Senior Shopping Hours: 8am to 9am Wednesdays and Sundays.
We are offering our customers who are seniors and those who are at a higher risk, an opportunity to shop
during hours reserved especially for them. We respectfully request that customers not in those categories
reserve those hours for our most vulnerable neighbors.
Social distancing:
Please help us practice social distancing. We realize we are a small store with high foot traffic. Please be
aware of your fellow shopper and give them 6’ whenever possible.
The safety of our customers and staff is our #1 priority as we make the following changes:
No Personal containers:
We will no longer accept personal containers to be refilled for bulk purchases during this time.
No Reusable bags:
We will supply new grocery bags at the check stand at no charge for you purchases during this time.
Our Dedicated Staff are coming to work daily to serve you and this community during these unprecedented
times. Please give them a big thank you.
Thank you for your patience as we go through these
challenging times.
Store hours & policies are subject to ongoing
changes. Please see our website and social
media pages listed below for timely updates.
