Interested in becoming an SCCO board member or Social Justice Committee member?
Persons wishing to become a member of the SCCO Board or the SCCO Social Justice Committee need to have attended an SCCO meeting in the past year. If you are interested in a position on the Board or Social Justice Committee, this would be a good meeting to attend as it should be relatively short. SCCO Board elections are February 3.
These local emergency preparedness meetings happen on the first Tuesday of the month, 6:30 pm — 7:30 pm, via Zoom.
The meetings are coordinated by the Ready NW Eugene consortium (River Road, Santa Clara, Bethel neighborhoods).
Contact emergencyprep@riverroadco.org for more information.

Please note that the items in the first paragraph have been completed.
Lane County’s Beaver-Hunsaker safety project is under construction. Completion of the multi-use path along Delta Sand and Gravel’s street frontage is anticipated in the coming weeks. Before the end of autumn, the remaining elements of the project should be completed which include a pedestrian-activated beacon at the new crosswalk at Taito Lane and tubular delineators installed along the fog line of the south side of Hunsaker Lane to demark the wider shoulder created for people to walk more comfortably. This project was made possible by funding from the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization (CLMPO), right-of-way contributions from Delta Sand and Gravel, and neighborhood support. Thanks for your continued patience as we wrap up construction this fall.
The City of Eugene will be completing the longer-term improvements on Hunsaker Lane. This will include constructing sidewalks on Hunsaker Lane – in two phases, as described below. For more information about these projects, please contact: Jordan Vesper, Civil Engineer, City of Eugene, JVesper@eugene-or.gov or (541) 246-0019.
When funding is secured the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will be working with the City and County to complete the longer-term improvements on Beaver Street as part of the Beltline Highway Facility Plan. Those plans are currently in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process. Construction funding has not yet been identified. More information about those plans are provided at: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/projects/pages/project-details.aspx?project=16223. For more information, contact Molly Cary, ODOT Transportation Project Manager, molly.a.cary@odot.state.or.us, 503-986-6924.
Those of us in Santa Clara are lucky to be surrounded by farms, rivers and woods. That makes for good bird habitat. If you’re a bird watcher, you might want to subscribe to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology newsletter. One of the best apps for birding is FREE from Cornell labs. Not only does the app do a good job of identifying birds, but it does an excellent job of identifying birds by sound! That’s right. Load the app, use the ‘Sound ID’, hit the microphone icon and let the app identify birds. The app will identify as many different birds as it can hear. The app can be found here.
Here’s a part of a typical newsletter from Cornell Labs.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the weather is turning colder, and the peak season for feeding birds has begun! But no matter where in the world you live, bird feeding is a delightful way for birders to connect to the birds they love. Here are a few resources to help you make the most of your feeders.
Have fun birding.
