This comes to us from a local Eugene Chapter member:
Hi Lisa,
On Oct. 13, we will be speaking to the Eugene City Council Open Forum on the subject of cell towers. Line-up to speak is 6:30pm, time limit 3 minutes, to me it’s easier to write out what am going to say. Lane County requires that cell towers be sited at least 1200 ft. from schools and homes. Unbelievably, there is no limit to how close the towers (even the large ones) can be sited in the City. The tower proposed for my residential neighborhood is 8 stories at Crossfire Church on 4060 W. Amazon. There are families living less that 100 ft. away, next to a day-care, near a school and senior facility. This is such an important time for all us who are concerned about the cell towers proposed for our residential areas to speak out and tell our concerns to the City. There are multiple large towers in the planning for Eugene residential areas.
On Oct. 27 at 5:30pm the Eugene City Council will be having a Work Session on the passing of a more protective cell tower ordinance. We are asking that at the very least the City adopt the 1200 ft variance that Lane County has for distance between cell towers and homes and schools. Some communities are even calling for a moratorium on the building of any more cell towers in residential area giving the local government more time to study the issue. The LLC Buy-Out Companies that are paying $$$ for these tower contracts are of particular concern.
Thank you for helping to spread the word about this. I am very grateful that our Councilwoman, Betty Taylor has called for the Work Session. Please tell everyone to call or email your Councilperson and tell them that you are very concerned about the cell towers being proposed for Eugene residential areas and that you want a protective City Ordinance on Cell Towers. The federal Telecommunication Act of 1996-tried to take away our local rights about cell towers but Lane County has a more protective cell tower ordinance as do other communities and we want the same.
There are so many dvds available on the negative health effects of cell towers on human, birds, bees, etc. Eugene’s Dr. Paul Dart and a panel of local physicians spent 18 months reviewing the medical information on the cell towers. His presentation to EWEB is available on youtube under Dr. Paul Dart-Smart Meter (Cell Tower) Hazard. Dr. Dart also addressed the Oregon Legislature last year-that is also on youtube.
Thank you.
Cindy
This comes to us from a local Eugene Chapter volunteer:
I’ve been emailing the farmers that sell meats at Eugene Local Foods (the online farmer’s market here in Lane County).
They are starting to offer nutrient dense meat parts and I request your help by purchasing them and feeding them to you family.
Here are the new offering and some of my favorites:
- Duck Feet ($6.25/5 lb) makes amazing bone broth, cook 48 hours on simmer then strain after beating all the parts a bit with a spoon.
- Chicken Feet same as duck feet
- Duck Gizzards they are looking into selling them
- I’m asking about Chicken Gizzards
- Duck Hearts I’ve just gotten the first order (3.90 LB)
They sell all these livers:
- Beef, Duck, Chicken, Lamb
- I purchased Pork Kidneys they were delicious ($.63/pair)
- Lamb Hearts OMG, I’m in love
I always freeze these items for a minimum of 12 days before eating. I’ve learned to NEVER over cook any of the organ meats.
Please consider checking out this resource. I find most of these items to be reasonably priced. They also sell bones, and the prices for bones have been going up. Meaty Lamb Bones were $.95/lb, now they are $1.95/lb :((
Deck Family Farm sells a ground mixture of organ meats for $6 a pound (in the pet section). It’s very good, I just find it a bit expensive.
Thanks, Rouanna

This comes to us from a local Eugene Chapter member:
The Eugene City Council will be addressing the subject of cell towers in our residential areas-at a work session when they return from summer vacation in September. City ordinances on cell towers in Eugene have not been up-dated since 1996. Areas are trying to pass more protective ordinances as cell tower placement has become more aggressive. LLC Buy-Out Companies are willing to pay $$$ for these tower contracts.
Lane County requires that there be a 1200 ft. distance between cell towers and our homes. It has been suggested that this distance should also be used in the city. We need as few of these towers as possible, with the lowest of emitting EMF microwave radiation, located in the safest of places.
Please consider emailing your local council member and also attending the Eugene City Council work session in September and expressing your opinion about cell towers in our neighborhoods and near our schools.

PS The first DVD that I saw about cell towers was at a Weston Price event.
Eugene, Oregon is the first U.S. city to ban these persistent pesticides on public land.
Eugene takes a formal stand against harmful neonicotinoids
On February 26, Eugene’s City Council unanimously passed a Council Resolution, “Enhancing Current Integrated Pest Management in Parks” and banning the use of neonicotinoid pesticides on all City of Eugene-owned property. Neonicotinoids are systemic chemicals absorbed by plants and transferred through the vascular system, making the plant itself toxic to insects. This is effective for pest control, however, poses risks particularly to the pollinators that visit these plants and rely on their nectar for survival.
While the European Union recently placed a two-year restriction on its use, according to bee advocates around the nation, Eugene is the first U.S. city to ban these persistent pesticides on public land. Use of these chemicals has been linked to the demise of honey bee colonies, and officials around the country have grappled with complex solutions. Parks and Open Space Director Craig Carnagey is pleased that our community is leading the way on this issue. “We hope the ripple effect of this decision will have a broad impact across the nation.”

This comes to us from a former local Eugene Chapter Member who has moved away, and recently returned to Eugene.
I just wanted to “plug” a local business that is struggling a bit:
Creswell Bakery is a little off the beaten path, but so worth the trek!
Owner/chef Heidi Tunnell has become known in the area for her local roots and use of organic and/or local indgredients. The bakery uses locally grown flours from Camas Country Mills for its incredible breads and nearly all pastries (and made with butter). For the savory side, there are take-away soups and meals made with mostly organic produce, and local whenever possible. ALL items containing chicken or beef use meat from animals raised on Heidi’s family’s farm (Furrer Farms) down the road. The chickens are pastured and the cows are grass-fed. And they use the whole animal (chicken stock made with feet and heads, etc.)
Many emotional, physical and psychological issues have been addressed, they are far more likely to see a doctor Educate him and keep his mind at ease Stay positive and explain that treatments are effective Do not attack or blame him The best thing about buying Tramadol or other medications through cash on delivery is that there super viagra online is no need to take it with water.

Oats Oats have high amounts of fiber this reduce high levels of cholesterol and stopping the obstruction of blood vessels. generic levitra no prescription Protect your happy love life and to live a life”king size” should buy generic levitra thought about this. Creswell Bakery is located at 182 South 2nd Street in Creswell. Hours are Tuesday thru Friday 7am to 6pm; Saturday 8 to 2. Breakfast items are served from 7 to 11 daily, and all day Saturday. Lunch is served from 11 to 2 daily.
I know Heidi personally, and have worked for her. She makes some of the most delicious food I have ever had! I figured if there’s any demographic that needs to know about the bakery, it’s WAPF. They’ve only been open since June, so they still need all the support they can get to keep growing. If there’s any way you can spread the word, that would be amazing.
Thanks for your time, Lisa! I hope you and your family are well!

This comes to us from one of our local members:
When even China has the will to destroy Monsanto’s GMOs, you know there’s something wrong with officials in the US who sit idly by as millions consume Monsanto’s Roundup-drenched GMO foods on a daily basis. Thankfully, action is being taken at warp speed. We have the March Against Monsanto taking place in just 2 days, and we have more support than ever for exposing the corrupt GMO giant and GMO infestation at large.

Stop selling poisons that kill honeybee colonies
By Gary Rondeau
Published: The Register Guard, March 20, 2013 12:00AM
The honeybees are going down. This year for the first time, almond growers in California were not able to get all the bees they need for pollination, and many colonies supplied were weak. Thousands of bee colonies were dead on arrival to the almond orchards.
According to conventional wisdom, the problem is a combination of Varroa mites and infectious diseases, but new evidence points to pesticides as the root cause. Chemicals known as neonicotinoids, including imidacloprid, are the problem.
It may already be too late to save the beekeeping industry in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency has been slow to act, and the chemicals causing the destruction are extraordinarily toxic and are persistent in the environment. read more >>

Contact Jerry’s and BiMart:
After you have signed the petition, you may want to personally call or send a letter to these stores. I shop at both of these stores and will be telling them to stop carrying these bee killing poisons.

I wrote to Gary asking him for more info. He says:
Please refer readers to the oregonsustainablebeekeepers.org website. There is a link there to the petition as well as other information and links – including our letter to the stores.
Soon I will have a post with specific chemicals and brand names found at local stores. These are the WORST because they invite overuse – treating insecticides like fertilizer.

- Bayer Advanced All-in-One Rose and Flower Care (granular formula)
