Talking the Walk

The city of Eugene and Lane County have launched a committee dedicated to talking about supporting small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. A separate oversight committee will be tasked with ensuring it fulfills its duties. That committee will then report back to a committee on follow through, which will be supervised jointly by the city manager and county administrator.  Beyond that, county and city bylaws aren’t clear as to where the buck stops.  The discussion-based “Heart-to-Heart Task Force” will lament COVID’s devastation of local businesses and brainstorm ways that the community could lend hopes and prayers. The task force will consist of all Eugene city councilors and Lane County commissioners, with an agreement to devote the final minutes (minimum three, maximum five) of one of their meetings each month to the project. 

Everything And Net

With the NBA season in full swing and March Madness winding down to the Final Four, basketball is on the minds of many people right now.  But for the people of the small community of Metlakatla, located in southeast Alaska, basketball is always on their mind.  Alaskan Nets, a documentary by two Oregonians that’s been four years in the making, explores the community’s relationship with the sport and makes its international debut at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and it has attracted support from one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.  The documentary, by producer Ryan Welch of Eugene and director and producer Jeff Harasimowicz of Bend, follows a high school basketball team in Metlakatla, which is located on the Annette Island, the state’s only Indian Reserve. The film captures the team as they deal with tragedy while competing for their first title in 30 years. 

Mishandling Justice

The report by the California-based OIR Group calls for systemic change in SPD’s policies, as well as 33 reform recommendations.  The report comes during a chaotic period for SPD.  Last week, the city released an independent review of SPD’s response to the July 29 Thurston protest, which found that the police department made errors in handling the event. Days ago, SPD Chief Rick Lewis was placed on administrative leave, but the city did not specify why. And weeks ago a civil rights lawsuit was filed in federal court by the Civil Liberties Defense Center.
