Dear Watch captains and neighborhood leaders,

We saw a lot of car thefts last week, especially along W.11th between Pearl Street and Danebo. As usual, there were an inordinate number of 1980s-1990s Hondas and Toyotas stolen. Your best protection against this is a steering wheel club.

We sell these at cost at our substations (6th and Monroe, or 13th and Alder) for $11. If you don't drive your car in the wee hours, also consider our CAT program. That involves putting a sticker on your car window that allows officers to stop the car if they spot it moving about in the middle of the night. Alarms are an option as well.

If you leave anything valuable in the car, that's one more reason it may be stolen, so remember to remove all valuables from your vehicles.

If you have questions, give me a call.

In the Churchill area, we have semi-annual access to CERT training and ongoing access to American Red Cross classes. This training helps prepare us for both small-scale emergencies like winter flooding or larger-scale disasters like forest fire or volcanic activity. The recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan, followed by the explosions and fire at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, however, are a poignant reminder that disasters can happen at any time and multiple simultaneous disasters are not out of the question.
 
Although Japan is almost 5,000 miles from our Churchill neighborhood, it's impossible to watch the horrific video footage of the tsunami, or read of the struggle to contain the nuclear reactor damage, and not be affected mentally and emotionally.

Neighbors,

The CAN welcomes EWEB Commissioner Joann Ernst to our January General Meeting.

Below is EWEB's description of Joann's visit.

The Eugene Water & Electric Board is Oregon's largest public utility, serving nearly
87,000 electric customers. As a public utility, EWEB does not operate to earn a
profit or to meet the investment needs of stockholders. Instead, EWEB has a
five-member Board of Commissioners who are elected by Eugene residents to serve
their interests. Joann Ernst, one of the five elected Board members, represents an
area roughly equivalent to the Churchill, Far West, Jefferson/Westside and Friendly
neighborhoods (City Council Wards 1 & 8). Her main areas of interest as an EWEB
Commissioner are energy conservation programs, renewable power, protecting the
McKenzie River, and facilitating community involvement and education.

Commissioner Ernst has requested an opportunity to meet with Churchill neighbors to
share information on some upcoming EWEB projects and respond to your questions about
utility issues. More specifically, Joann will discuss the underlying factors
leading to the Board's decisions to raise rates in 2011, introduce EWEB's upcoming
energy resource planning effort, and share some insights on the utility's first new
General Manager in twenty years, Roger Gray. Neighbors who can't attend the meeting
are welcome to contact their EWEB Commissioner directly at joann.ernst@eweb.org.

When: January 25th @ 7:00pm - 9:00pm
