Yellow Cedar is not really a cedar. It is a cypress - and an amazing tree. So much oil in the wood that a dead tree will continue standing for decades and still be valuable for its wood.

Since the urban growth boundary will not be expanded (per Envision Eugene) maybe we don't need any more parks. Maybe we have too many. We could sell a few, so there will be funds to maintain a more manageable number.

I am sorry that you have gotten so swayed over the Obama side that you never saw who he was hanging around with in 2008 and before. Most of his family was and is anti-colonials that have turned anti-American since America took over as the lone superpower. His pastor for 20 years was outed as an anti-American in 2008....

If our legislators had any scruples they would have rejected the oil industry written legislation called SB21 and worked to improve on ACES. It didn't have to be so radical that we gave up the best of ACES and kept the worst just because that is what benefits the oil industry the most.

He hid his beliefs to get elected. He went so far as to disown his pastor from 2008 and deny relationship with others. As far as most Americans being anti-colonial, some are, some were just fooled by his rhetoric and bullied into voting for him by being labeled as racist if we did not.
