Mayor Vinis' 2023 State of the City Address
Watch the State of the City event in its entirety here
Welcome back! It is great to see you all in the Hult Center once again for this State of the City event. In so many ways this building embodies our resiliency, hope, and love of this community.
There's a famous quote from Gandhi, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." I've been thinking about that phrase a lot lately. Coming together in this community space is a moment to rekindle our shared vision of the city we wish to be in the world.
We want to be a city where everyone has a place to live; a city with plentiful parks and open spaces that are safe and accessible to everyone; a place children can thrive; a city that is easy and safe to navigate by car, bus, bike or on foot; a city that offers ample family wage jobs and healthy businesses that meet our needs; a city that is rich with activities and amenities to expand our horizons; and a city whose landscape, buildings, and actions reduce our impact on global warming.
We've just shared a video highlighting the many accomplishments of the year. I want to take this moment to appreciate all of the people who bring their hearts, minds and energy to enable the City of Eugene – our government and leadership – to succeed. I am speaking of city employees who continue to carry heavier and more diverse responsibilities than ever before, of the unsung volunteer heroes who serve on our boards and commissions, my fellow elected officials, and our many community partners. And of course, I want to thank those who live and work in Eugene - who are not part of governing the city but make up the City itself and ultimately give it its strength, diversity, and true character. All of the working people who show up every day to make sure we have groceries, that our children are educated and parented, that housing, businesses and roads get built and repaired, stores open and products are made, services are offered and buses run on time. Thank you once again for all you contribute every day in Eugene and for the continuing privilege of serving as your mayor.
Tonight, I will talk with you a bit about the accomplishments of the last year and our goals for the year ahead. But I also want to highlight how those step-by-step accomplishments, that steady and sometimes slow progress, brings us closer to that big picture - to becoming the city that we want and need to be.
In 2022 the city conducted a Community Survey of households across the community. The results were not surprising. They reflect your continuing concerns about our city and the issues it faces: homelessness, housing, public safety and climate change still top the list of things you want the City's leadership to address.
These problems have been decades in the making. They reflect the impact of generations of neglect of housing and public health needs, and a long-term dependence on fossil fuels. This work is generational. We are the generation holding the bag. It is our job—the challenge of our era – to persevere in realizing our vision and not to pass the burden of these challenges on to our children and grandchildren.
Where are we this year in addressing those on-going public priorities of homelessness, housing, public safety and climate change? And how are those incremental steps taking us to that broader vision on which we all agree?
The Impacts of Homelessness. This is the top concern on everyone's list.
In 2022 parts of our city witnessed great progress. We defused an ongoing and unruly situation in West Eugene through commercial street parking regulation and consistent monitoring. People living at the temporary sites in Washington Jefferson Park and at 13th and Chambers were largely able to relocate to the new Safe Sleep sites.
The City now offers almost 700 shelter beds – including nine rest stops and four safe sleep sites. Each of these sites is unique; but they share a quiet, purposeful culture of safety and hope. And they work. For example, a man with a vision disability stayed with his partner at a Safe Sleep site for several months. During that time, he sorted out his finances and got the healthcare he needed. He and his partner sustained jobs and moved on to their own apartment. A mother, struggling with addiction, got into a treatment program, found and kept a job, and was able to visit her children once again thanks to having a place to sleep and people who supported her. These stories of success sustain us in our work.
Safe sleep sites and rest stops are successful models that we need to continue to support. I know that the scale of suffering and impact of homelessness on our community are profound. I also know that we cannot not solve homelessness for everyone. But we can solve it for some of the people we serve. It is incremental work at the most personal level. Now more than ever, this is a call to everyone to join constructively in responding to this crisis. We need to keep our successful programs in play and—importantly—to advocate for more support from the state and federal governments so we can continue to increase the number of people we help.
Advocacy for such support is my daily, weekly, monthly mission in my work with other mayors in Oregon, and across the country. As a leader in the Oregon Mayors Association, I will be a constant advocate for state support during the 2023 legislative session.
We continue to rely on and build on our partnership with the County, and the nonprofit providers who deliver the assistance to people in need. We are not alone in this challenge, but Eugene and our partners are innovative leaders in implementing solutions. Our city is a recognized leader at the state and federal level, and our work is a model for others.
That brings me to Housing: We remain concerned about displacement of renters from their homes when housing costs are high and too many people are under threat of homelessness.
We know – anecdotally and statistically – that renters are suffering in this market. We also understand that property owners face risks to their property if they have irresponsible tenants, or tenants who are unable to pay their rent. Our goal is not to penalize property owners. Our goal is to help stabilize people in their housing in this very heated market.
We enter the new year mid-way through this deliberation. There is concern that increased regulatory requirements of landlords will reduce the number of rentals in our community – that regulation will create an insurmountable barrier. I take that seriously. At the same time, there is immediate and dire need for relief and protection for renters who are powerless in the face of economic forces. We must find a balance.
All councilors understand that the long-term solution to housing cost and availability is to build more housing. One of Council's first actions in 2022 was adoption of the Housing Implementation Pipeline - or HIP. The HIP outlines our goals to create more housing of all types, including more affordable homes as well as addressing the needs of renters. The HIP also outlines the toolbox of funding and incentives to promote housing development – both state and federal sources as well as local policies enacted by council.
Middle Housing dominated the first half of 2022 at council meetings and public forums. I have advocated for Middle Housing since taking office in 2017. I am proud of the council for voting unanimously on a package of zoning code changes that not only comply with State requirements but include incentives to encourage more affordable units to be built. It took incremental, thoughtful work by councilors, staff and members of the public to get to that vote, and it depended on extraordinary levels of public engagement. The City team won a state award for their multifaceted and deliberative outreach and information gathering.
This is a significant step and it is key to enabling us to meet the desperate need for housing in our community and also meet our climate goals.
The construction of middle housing within a short walk to major corridors aligns with Council's decision to study five major corridors for enhanced transit and improved biking and walking. This policy, coordinated with Lane Transit District, is intentionally incremental – each corridor is unique; in each step along the way, the city will engage the affected neighborhood as well as the whole community.
The consideration of EmX and other transit corridor improvements are components of our gradual and thoughtful progression toward the Eugene of the future – a city that enables more people to live close to transit and to reduce our dependence on gas-powered cars. We all have a voice and role to play to build that resilient city of our near future.
Public Safety is number three on the list of top concerns of our community.
We are experiencing more gun violence; more guns in the hands of people with mental health issues; and more violence and threatening behavior associated with drug dealing and drug use.
Much of the worst of this behavior last year occurred in West Eugene and in our downtown.
While some of this drug use and violence happened within our homeless community, it is critical not to conflate homelessness and public safety. Our city programs are designed to provide shelter and services to those who want and need it; and to enable our police department to target their work toward criminal activity. In downtown in particular, there's a lot of terrible behavior that falls short of criminal but, nevertheless, is frightening and unacceptable.
In 2022, the city followed three tracks:
First, the police department continues to hire more officers and to direct the Special Crimes Unit to address the worst violent and drug related activity – and they continue to succeed in finding and arresting this higher level of criminal.
Second, the City has a constellation of alternative response teams – non-uniformed and unarmed. The most well-known, of course, is our contract with CAHOOTS to respond to mental health emergencies, but we have added other teams to meet needs across this city. We know we need more eyes on the street to hold people accountable for their behavior, and to be more responsive to our community's needs. In 2023, Council will hear recommendations for better targeting and coordinating of our alternative responses to uniformed officers.
Third, as you well remember, questions about police actions and accountability, and fairness and safety for people of color dominated the headlines in 2020. The public unrest led Council to appoint the Ad Hoc Committee on Police Policies, which presented its recommendations for reforms in 2021.
In 2022 and into 2023, Council is reviewing those recommendations related to our Civilian Oversight system of the Eugene Police Department. This system is a model that other cities seek to replicate. At the same time, it has been in place since 2008, and the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations present an opportunity to consider possible adjustments.
I share this as a reminder that issues that dominated the headlines in 2020 resulted in specific policy decisions and directions by Council that city staff are now executing. We take the community's concerns seriously about the use of force, oversight and bias in policing. This illustrates again how change happens in our city through deliberative, incremental work.
Climate Change: Council's response to climate change was front and center in 2022 and will continue to be a priority this year.
As you may recall, the Climate Action Plan 2.0 identified Transportation and Buildings as two of three key contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The Council has already adopted a range of transportation and land use policies to reduce the use of fossil fuels in transportation.
In 2022, our focus turned to the impact of buildings on climate. The work was framed by five motions put forward by our former colleague, Claire Syrett. Those motions pointed in two directions: first, to guide or regulate the energy source for new construction; and second, to improve the resiliency and sustainability of existing buildings.
We are doing this work in stages, the first of which would prohibit the use of fossil fuels in new low-rise residential construction initiated after June 2023. This will come to a vote soon. In my mind this is straight-forward. Housing policy is climate policy. What and where we build is key in our response to climate change. This policy also aligns with our housing priorities to increase the supply of smaller, more compact housing which is more energy efficient.
Regarding existing buildings, Council has reviewed an extensive report about the costs and benefits of retrofitting residential, commercial and industrial buildings over time as technology and costs make those changes feasible.
We have received a lot of public comment about this work: Some strongly urge council to act quickly and decisively to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. Others fear that the council's action will literally turn off the gas.
I will say just a few things about my perspective on this work. It is essential and urgent. We are seeking to anticipate, create, and respond to a systemic change in our energy system. We are not requiring behavioral or lifestyle change by the individual consumer. We are not "taking away" natural gas. We want to support future consumer choices that are part of the solution to climate change, rather than choices that deepen the problem. Today's choices, the status quo, got us to this point and continue to literally fuel global warming. As a City we must encourage new choices, gradually enough to build consensus and support, but also urgently enough to make a difference.
That thinking also applies to our business community. We are looking at the types of buildings and the heating and cooling systems they require. We are seeking to understand the difference between an office building and a grocery store in their energy consumption and the potential for lower fossil fuel use and emissions in construction and appliances. We aim to do this work deliberatively – not reactively – in a way that furthers our climate goals and supports rather than disrupts existing and future businesses. The choice is not to do nothing or do everything all at once. It is to take incremental actions to make Eugene a city that is sustainable on this warming planet.
As I look to our plans and prospects in the coming year, I welcome the opportunity to reboot our sense of common purpose. All of our ongoing issues share common themes: they are fundamentally about equity – our need to create a community culture in which people have access to housing and opportunity, feel protected and safe, and benefit from both a built and natural landscape that is more resilient in the face of global warming.
In all of these endeavors we have consistently relied on our business community. We count on developers, builders and trades to construct the housing, fix the roads and install the infrastructure we need. We have turned to businesses to pay for the services we need: a Construction Excise Tax to support housing, a Community Safety Payroll tax to support our public safety system; Rental Housing fees to support our housing navigator and other housing protections. We have looked to our business community to provide property for safe sleep sites, and funding to support the service providers.
In all of our strategic plans – Transportation, the Housing Implementation Pipeline, and the Climate Action Plan – we count on the business community to help carry the load.
And yet, we don't have a comprehensive plan in place to support and grow the businesses that we depend on. We don't have a current economic development plan for our city.
In 2022, I convened monthly meetings of a Mayor's Business Advisory Council that informed my thinking about the range of issues before council. This year I will take the next step based on insights from that advisory council and concerns raised by the public. This year I will convene a Mayor's Blue Ribbon Business Council on Economic Development. The committee will have a six-month timeline to outline strategic priorities for a healthy local economy. A committee of this sort was last convened in 2004 by Mayor Torrey. Quite a few things have changed since then, but the need is the same.
We need a healthy business community for its own inherent value—our businesses fill ongoing needs and innovate new approaches, they provide our essential goods and services, they employ the majority of Eugeneans, and they provide opportunities for entrepreneurs large and small to make their way in the world and support their families. We also need a healthy business community to support our community commons - the parts of our City that benefit and serve us all.
We need the business community to partner with the City in designing that roadmap for success - to make Eugene a model for a growing, thriving, business friendly, customer friendly, worker friendly, and climate friendly business community. Doing this work together moves us closer to being the change, to becoming that City we want to be.
As I said before, this is generational work. This year marks the third year of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council. This dynamic group of high school students has matured as an organization and their priorities reflect their perspective as teenagers growing up in this community. As they learn to contribute to our policy discussions, we need to listen and learn from them. Their perspective is not the same as today's adult leaders – and yet we are building the city they will lead in the future. They are the change – and they need to be our partners. You will hear more from them in 2023.
Every year I have been in office, I have closed my State of the City address anticipating the World Athletics Championships Oregon 22. That stellar event has now come and gone. It brought the world to Eugene and put our city in front of the largest global TV audience ever to watch this biennial track and field championship.
Our city team created a glorious free festival at the new Riverfront Park that for 10 days reminded us of the joy and exhilaration of coming together to share music, dance, food and athletics in a public space. We fulfilled the call of "being the change we wish to see in the world" where we celebrated all of the communities within our community.
In the day to day life of a city, change happens slowly. The State of the City is our annual moment to look back to review the positive steps we have taken. It is also a time to see those individual steps as incremental progress toward our vision of the city that we want to be. It's my hope that reflecting together once again inspires and strengthens us to continue this good work. I'm ready and eager to take the next steps with you. Join me.

A £480 million waste to energy project in Lostock, northwest England has been given the green light for construction by owners Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and FCC Environment after the project reached financial close.
A £480 million waste to energy project in Lostock, northwest England has been given the green light for construction by owners Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) (60%) and FCC Environment (40%) after the project reached financial close.
Once operational the plant is expected to process around 600,000 tonnes of waste per year, which will contribute to the UK government's strategy to reduce landfill and export of waste.
Generating 60 MW, the energy from waste facility will be among the largest waste to energy facilities in Europe and will power roughly 110,000 homes, offsetting more than 200,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
The plant will be built on the land of Tata Chemicals Europe (TCE). Through site upgrades and mutual off-take agreements for steam and sodium bicarbonate, the facility will deliver significant new infrastructure for TCE's soda ash plant and wider Lostock site and thereby underpin TCE operations and jobs for the long term.
It will also bring hundreds of local jobs to the area during construction as well as around 50 permanent jobs in the operations phase.
FCC will be responsible for operating the plant, as well as sourcing and delivering the 600,000 tonnes of waste that the plant will process each year.
The two-boiler line project will be built by a consortium led by CNIM. The construction process will consist of two phases, starting with a 15 month enabling works program followed by a three-year building phase including six months of commissioning. The plant is scheduled to commence operations in the end of second quarter of 2023.
"We entered the project in the late development phase in September 2017 and have worked closely with the developers and FCC to reach financial close," commented Christina Grumstrup Sørensen, Senior Partner at CIP.
FCC has officially opened its 200,000 tonne per year EnviRecover waste to energy facility on the Hartlebury Trading Estate near Kidderminster, UK.
The first delivery of waste to environmental service firm FCC's new 300,000 tonne per year waste to energy facility in Buckinghamshire, England has taken place and the facility is now generating power.
Financial close has been achieved on the Edinburgh and Midlothian Zero Waste project, FCC Environment UK's 14MW waste to energy and MBT facility being developed for the City of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils.

Joan Batlle i Valls (Calella de la Costa, 21 de juny del 1872 – Blanes, 17 d'abril del 1939) va ser un sacerdot i músic blanenc.

Va fer estudis eclesiàstics i s'especialitzà en música sacra. Un cop ordenat, a partir del 1896 ocupà la plaça d'organista de l'església parroquial de Blanes. A la parròquia comença a organitzar una "capella" o coral masculina que acompanyés les funcions religioses, la batejà amb el nom de "Capella de Santa Cecília" (santa Cecília és la patrona dels músics), i vetllà perquè els cantaires aprenguessin solfeig. Posteriorment l'amplià amb una secció femenina, i el conjunt resultant fou l'esperó per a la fundació de l'Orfeó de Blanes.

Com a compositor, l'any 1908, va escriure una partitura, l'Al·leluia o Cant de l'Àngel, que encara ara s'interpreta a la Setmana Santa blanenca; també fou autor del Miserere que s'hi canta a la processó del Divendres Sant. El 1919 musicà la versió dels Pastorets que havia fet Pere Puig i Plensa, Pastors i Misteris, i que es va estrenar al "Círcol Catòlic" de Blanes.

En homenatge pòstum, l'any 1966, després de 27 anys de la seva mort, l'ajuntament de Blanes posà el seu nom al col·legi Graduada Mixta "Mossèn Joan Batlle". L'any 2007 s'enderroca l'escola Mossèn Joan Batlle per construir un nou centre al barri de Ca la Guidó. El centre havia quedat obsolet i patia problemes estructurals. El nou centre renovat entrà en funcionament el curs 2008-09.

This can be a particularly frustrating area to work in if you are unfortunate enough to suffer from chronic health issues, especially if it limits you physically.
While there are many avenues that you can take to address the health problems, not all of these solutions offer the kind of help that addresses all aspects of the body.
These aspects are the mind, the body, the emotions and the spirit connection.
Mindfulness is a treatment that can be effectively used to address health problems - even the kind of health issues that stick around for months or years.
The therapies used in mindfulness can help you to improve your life, and let go of any anxiety that was caused as a result of the health issue.
There are many forms of health conditions that can be healed from mindfulness such as ones that are tied in to stress.
Health problems that are caused by addictions can also be healed.
If you struggle with health problems that are acerbated by depression, those can be helped as well. Mindfulness allows you to be fully aware of present in your life.
It can show you how to let go of the stress and difficulties associated with health problems.
You'll also learn how you can stop worrying about the past or the future with your health and how to lay aside any expectations about your body.
With mindfulness, what you'll do is to concentrate on where you currently are with your life.
You'll begin a session by concentrating on what you're experiencing through the use of your five senses.
This will vary, depending on which sense you're focusing your mind on.
When you keep your focus what mindfulness does is it allows you to stop the cycle of negative thoughts that are often present when you don't feel well.
You'll be able to release the thoughts of the past. These might be thoughts about how much you're struggled or how good your health used to be.
You'll also be able to release the fear that the future may bring on worsening problems with your health.
You'll be able to remain in the present and fully enjoy each moment.
One of the things that some people say is that they don't have time to practice mindfulness.
You don't have to take time out of your day and do nothing with mindfulness.
It can be done even when you're busy doing some kind of activity such as cleaning the house, mowing the lawn or taking a walk.
Mindfulness will help you tackle the health problems through breathing and other techniques.
One of the benefits that many of those who use mindfulness reported is that the pain linked with their health problem diminished through the use of this practice.

Will Gordon Smith drop out - and run for Governor?
By Ernie Delmazzo of West Linn, Oregon. Ernie is a consumer advocate, an injured worker, and a website developer. He's also a Democratic Party activist who has worked on numerous campaigns as a volunteer or paid staffer.
Editor's note: This comment appeared on the post What does Joe Trippi think?. It's a compelling notion, so we're upgrading it to its own thread.
Here are my thoughts. I believe Smith will run for governor in 2010. He may even not seek reelection in '08. Why?
His business, Smith Frozen Foods, has to be less financially profitable due to, ironically, Free Trade Agreements and other Republican policies. Smith is restricted in managing the company due to his Senate job. As examples, he can't put his name on a company loan or line of credit and his receiving federal government subsidies and contracts would bring controversy.
As governor, little to no legal restrictions would apply and he could operate every aspect of Smith Foods, perhaps putting it in better shape during the two years while simultaneously having much more time to run for governor.
He's also in the minority party and so far it looks like Democrats will gain senate seats in '08. No committee chair for Gordy!
Senate incumbency has huge advantages at the polls while he'd have less advantage in a run for governor. If he was a senator in 2010 and ran for governor, he'd upset many voters. If he didn't run in '08 he'd have time to mind fences with Republicans and neo-cons if a Democrat got his seat. He'd be the most well known Republican in the primary and would play that up to gain support. R's want the governorship really bad after decades of defeat.
There's more power in governorship than being one of one hundred and being in the minority party.
Democrats in control means more time spent in D.C. That means less time for Smith to be with his family.
Feb 16, '07
As I am not yet in the major loops of Oregon political circles, are there any behind-the-scenes conversations happening amongst those who would know?
Russell (unverified)
I wouldn't doubt for a minute that Gordon Smith would attempt a run at governor. Smith dropping out of the Senate race is a bit unbelievable; but maybe if he's out of the political spotlight for a couple years, he'd be a more marketable moderate...Giving up his incumbency would make the Democrats' job a lot easier in 2008... Either way it should be fun defeating him in whatever office he pursues.
Bill Bodden (unverified)
"...he'd be a more marketable moderate..." Smith's a moderate? He may have voted like a moderate on a few occasions, but his complete record indicates he is more conservative than moderate. Instead of speculating on Smith becoming governor in 2010, let's focus on getting rid of him and his banality in 2008.
Michelle (unverified)
In the back of my mind is the fear he will run for President!
abc (unverified)
wishful thinking on Gordo.
word is DeFazio is in for '08...
Tony (unverified)
abc... where is the "word" coming from? not questioning, it would be exciting news
Coast Guy (unverified)
Abc:
Its funny you say DeFazio is in, when he said EARLY on that he was out. He is too much of a safe player to risk a chairmanship in the House on a hard Senate race.

just passing along what i heard today from someone who i think is in the know. only single sourced so far...
i know these thngs (unverified)
Walden, not Smith, in 2010.
libbie (unverified)
This from the guy who was for the war then not for the war and then voted twice for the war. I do believe he is more than confused. Deranged maybe? Big public statement of how he wasn't going to support the occupation andy more and then turn around and vote against even debating the occupation. I think we should send him to Iraq and stick him in the middle of Baghdad. this from the guy who voted with Frist and Bush on every conservation issue and then for publicity purposes, played it big on not getting the timber dollars. who is this guy? He's not even senatorial material let alone governor or president.
Grant Schott (unverified)
Looking at the track record of GOP candidiates for OR gov. in the last 21 years, it is hard to beleive that either Smith or Walden would give up their seats to run for governor, unless they really decide that they don't like living in D.C. Thus far, they haven't revealed that distast. However, with congressional families increasingly left behind while the member lives in D.C. during the week, and the Democrats deciding that congress should put in a full work week like everyone else, one can imagine that Smith or Walden might want a change, especailly as they are in the minority. I remember a Pendelton politican who knows Smith fairly well telling me ten years ago that there was no doubt in his mind that Smith would one day run for president.
Ernie Delmazzo (unverified)
Oregonian37,
If anyone outside Smith's very inner circle knows, it's Kevin Mannix. Mannix bought the domain MannixForOregon.us on 1/4/2007 even though he didn't renew the .net in October. The .us is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United States within the global domain name system (DNS). It's not a popular TLD.
Since I don't believe Mannix's ego could handle being 1 of 435 in the House and he's turned down past chances to run against Darlene Hooley, perhaps he knows or suspects something.
Nate Westview (unverified)
Are you F#$%ing nuts. No Republican would support smith for Governor. I would rather see another 4 years of Kulo than a 4year term for smith.
Nate W Republican PDX
Not sure what happened to my [post, but I'll try again!
Thank you Mr. Delmazzo.
Given the conservative core of many areas of Oregon, I could see Smith garnering enough support to make a run for governor. Particularly if he lies a bit low for those two years, distancing himself from the Iraq flip-flopping. Even with the current wave of political awareness and determination, voters tend to have short memories.
Smith is not stepping down. I also doubt the speculation that Smith would run for Gov. Walden is more likely to throw his hat into that ring IMHO. I have heard the Earl is seriously eyeing Smith's seat, but I think DeFazio would be a better candidate for that seat were he to decide to make a go of it.
Actually we broke the news on NWRepublican back on Nov. 12.
...That Greg Walden was going to be running for Governor.
The guy constantly travels back home to his district and it is wearing on him.
He recently made some changes at his radio stations to better prepare for a run.
So I know you guys really like looking for new reasons to hate Gordon Smith, let's just put this topic to bed right now eh? Smith aint runnin for Governor.
So, now ya'll have to find a new reason to hate, though I know it won't be hard. I know... Why not hate his hair?
yip yip
Coyote... That's cute - "broke the news". Unless you've got anything other than your own speculation, then you haven't broken any news.
Kari, It is more than my own speculation. If you would have read my blog post you would have read that it was based on a lunch discusion amongst some of the Republican political and business players.
They had actually got together about a week before the general election afte reading the writing on the wall.
Walden has a top gun working for him or with him on this project now. Watch, he won't run for reelection.


The decision to offer cash prizes in the half marathon category — as well as the earlier decision to offer a half marathon category — is drawing some high-calibre runners from the Lower Mainland to Loop the Lakes. Race director Jen Segger confirmed this week that registration is ahead of last year and interest in the half marathon distance is particularly high.
"I'm pretty happy with what's come in for registration, and everyone out here is so last minute so I think we'll get a lot of day-of-race registration," said Segger. "We're seeing such a mix of people. Trail running is just growing so much, and now we have people coming up from Vancouver and Washington as well, mainly for the half marathon. Squamish is becoming a destination for events, so more people know about us than in the past."
She said it was unfortunate that her May 25 race takes place the same day as the Nimby Fifty mountain bike race in Pemberton, but she couldn't find another open weekend.
"There are so many events now in this part of the world that it's a challenge to pick a day to put something on, you're really pretty limited and there was no way to do this without some overlap," she said.
There are now three distances in the Loop the Lakes — an eight-kilometre loop, a 15km course and the 21.1 off-road half marathon distance. Segger said the 8km course is flat and relatively non-technical to attract beginners. As well, a lot of people are using it as a tune-up for the Whistler Half Marathon the following Saturday.
The longer routes are more hilly and more technical with both routes following the Four Lakes climb as far as Edith Lake, before following a selection of trails including Mike's Loop, Entrails, Roller Coaster and Lumberjack's back to Alice Lake. Once there, the 21.1km runners climb back up to Edith Lake and run backwards on the Four Lake Trails to the start/finish area.
As well as the main runs, there's also a kids' one-kilometre run.
The half marathon gets underway first at 8 a.m., followed by the 15km run at 8:30 a.m. and the eight-kilometre run at 9 a.m. The kids' race is at 10:45 a.m.
Registration is through Challenge by Choice (www.challengebychoice.ca) and price varies by distance — $60 for the half marathon, $50 for the 15km run and $45 for the 8km course.
Segger is expecting at least 175 runners this year, although she'd like to break 200. In the future, she's considering adding a marathon trail run as well.
"It's something we don't have here," she said. "Not everybody is up for running an ultra distance like 50km or 50 miles, but a lot of people think of a marathon as a safe distance. That's something I can see coming down the pipe in the future."

Ok i am new to ecromunda ad have recently for the forst time played a game using my 40K ork models as representatives.
What i am asking though- what is the best, cheapest a in essence the most effective way of making a necro gang?
I was thinkig of getting a box set of 40K imp guard and using green stuff and bits from my bits box, just converting them to look like a necro gang. has any1 else tried this approach?, is it effective?, how else could i make my gang?
Its a fairly common approach for Orlocks, it'd be rather hard to many others, sae perhaps Catachans as Goliaths. You'll usually run into being called cheesy for using too many flashlights, as they are the best basic weapon. You can usually get decent deals on ebay as well.
Catachans are often converted to Orlocks and sometimes Goliaths.
SM scouts can represent Orlocks or Van Saar.
Chaos Marauders can be converted to Goliaths or Pit Slaves.
Cawdor can be converted from Wood Elves or Bretonnian men at arms.
Eldar are sometimes used as Van Saars.
Escher can be converted from Dark Eldar Wyches.
Check out my thread on beastmen. I am currently painting my converted gang of them. Of course, it will take a while to finish them before I get them posted here but I am making slow progress. Dern So-com combined assault and work is taking up my time. :rolleyes: But yes, converting from plastics is the cheapest. Would love to see a gang using skinks as juves and sauruses as gangers. Those would nicely represent sump dwellers.
There's also a TON of companies out there with "contemporary" or "dark future" type gang warfare sci fi minis that work great for Necromunda. Some of them are very nice, and quite cheap. I suggest looking at EM4 (thier unpainted minatures) and others (sliping my mind now, hopefully others will chime in).
Blood Bowl amazons are also good fodder for Escher conversions and could even be used for a female Ratskin gang.
I always pronounced it De-lak. Maybe I'm wrong though.
I have been adding GS coats to plastic Cadian models recently but I don't know what tour GS skills are like.
Also, you can follow the rules for a gang without actually using those minis. Last time we played, we used what would translate to Iquisitor warbands. The figs were WYSIWYG and all, they were just not all coesive in their looks (like most INQ warbands). I also played ''S.W.A.T.'' once, with a team made out of Stormtroopers assaulting my buddies Ratskins. I think that Necromunda has fantastic rules, but it's a shame that the players don't try the ''count has'' approach as much as with the core games.
I think Delaque is a reference to Lancalot De Laque from the Arthurian Romances.
Not sure what Van Saar is in reference to ATM.
I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. If its a mini problem i'm fine playing with people who proxy, or use orks as something else, but more often than not when i see someone trying to create a new gang for a 40k army it looks like they just want more powerful options than the game is designed for.
Van Saar is a mixture of german and french i think. It was covered on the eastern fringes forum. Basically they're eurotrash.
I've been using Warhammer Empire Militia plus IG parts, IG and SM weapons, old 2nd ed autopistols, green stuff etc to make a Delaque gang. Had the Militia apare from making a Mordheim Reiklanders gang and decided to get creative.
Is that a plasma gun or Heavy plasma gun? Very nice work.
Very cool, I especially like the look of the last one.
Just by-the-by, I always thought that Delaque rhymed with 'plaque'. With my accent that comes out as 'del-ahk'.
You can also use the Catachans for orlocks as well. BEst part is the fact that they are plastic, which means Costume jobs. You can buy the weapons packs online and stuff. Set up most of your gangers with lasguns. You can easily convert the lasguns into autoguns. File down the sides of the gun. As for shotguns, go to ebay and order some marine scouts plastic shotguns.
But for even easier way of getting gangers, make a Guilder gang that was found in one of the Necromunda magzines. Most of your modles will be Merc's anyway (gun for hire) so any imperial gaurd model will do. To make the gang look more ragtag..buy different types of gaurd models (some Catachans, Iron Mordins..etc..). Heck you could even buy some plastic bits from warhammer fansty...mostly heads and some legs depedning on the model. As for the pit slaves, but some space marines platic bits, mostly the arms. For the Guilder him self, I'd say but a Imperial Psyker and paint him in bright colors.
The Empire Militia gives several bodies with coats but not quite enough so I got to work scuplting! The last one is the leader, with a sword on his back Blade-style. They've taken a while but it's been worth it.
The plasma gun is a salvaged Chaos Marine plasma gun. The power pack was damaged so I cut it off, added the cabling and a bit of plasticard to mask the join. Gonna add a backpack or power module on his back too.
The old timer has a shotgun converted from the Militia crossbow arms and thin plastic rods (actually they were banner poles from Marine bikes).
I was thinking about using Imperial Steel Leigon troops as Delaque, do you yhink that would work?


Discussion in 'Amp Central Station' started by hombre de twang, Apr 16, 2019 at 8:09 PM.
I have a Fender Champ 600 ri with new tubes but the back panel is missing. These seem to be fetching at least 200 plus on the used market just stock. Should I sell mine or hold on to it?
I dunno, I'd think $150 is more in the ballpark of what most of these are sold for. Unless they have some fancy mods or something. Certainly less with the back missing.
Why do you want to sell it? Need the money? Don't like the amp?
Whats the story on these little reissues? Are they good little practice amps for a couple bills? Are they all tube or ss rectifier?
For some reason they are going up in price on Reverb. I like the amp, but I'd rather have the cash to put into a legit 1960's vibro champ.
They were made 2006-2013. suppose to be a resissue, but don't really sound like the original. Idk why they are going up in price. It's kinda like the fender excelsior. Cool amps, but not worth more than what people originally bought them for.
I love mine, but I wouldn't pay that much for one.
I paid 60 for mine. They are cool practice and even recording amps, but i'm just ready to part with mine. It's a bull market for this amp right now for this amp.
I was looking at Champion 600's just the other day for a friend who wants a simple tube amp.
$200 to $250 with $30 shipping is common.
I bought both of mine years ago at Guitar Center on Black Friday sales. $99 and $129. I think they're great practice and late night amps. I wouldn't sell one to make $100. I like the amps too much. Plug a stereo Tremolo pedal into two of them for wiggly fun.
thunderbyrd, hombre de twang, SolidSteak and 1 other person like this.
Could you make a replacement back panel?
As far as selling or holding onto it: Are you using it now? Does it serve a purpose?
I ditched a Champ-like AMP a few months ago, because I never played it and it wasn't interesting enough to keep around. I only got about $175 for it. I figured as long as I recouped the cost of the cabinet it would be worth it. I was sad to not get top dollar for it, but I did spend the money on something much more useful that has a purpose.
Are they actually selling for that much?
I usually see them on Craigslist here in Portland for $80-$120.
I paid $80 for mine and it came with nice nos tubes and upgraded MOD speaker.
After I installed regular fender grill cloth in mine it sounded sweet. I wish I never sold it.
It was a nice little amp I could carry under the same arm holding my guitar case over to my buddies house for a kitchen jam.
That & a little reverb pedal and you're set.
hombre de twang likes this.
The champ 600 was $200 as was the Peavey valveking royal 8.
I think the epi valve jr combo was a bit less, and the Bugera v5s sere probably $150 around then. Crate might have had a VC series 5w, I don't recall and it's not in the magazines I still have in the basement.
These were the low power current production budget all tube stuff at the time. AC4s and Little Giants costed more. The Fender and the Epi looked the coolest. They all had Similar levels of desirability, but the Fender still fetches $200 while the V5(still in production) also commands around its "then" price. Epis with the factory mods aren't easy to get, and the royal 8s go for $150ish now.
Local pickup only stuff seems to be the cheapest way to get vibros. Theres often stuff on ebay or reverb. Theres a Vibro Champ with giant holes in the grill and a bad power cable in CA local pickup only on reverb right now for $400. These are not unusual during some parts of the year.
I bought it used and the pannel was missing. But I go it for 60 so it was worth it. I've tried to find a replacement, but no luck. Will build one if i end up keeping it. It's a cool little amp, but It isn't played much at this time.
Yea the vintage practice amps are fantastic amps. I love em. I wanna snag a good one before they go any higher in price!
The Fender Champion 600 has been called one of the 10 best blues amps .
I had and sold two and I am now looking for another Champion 600 .
They were made 2006-2013. suppose to be a resissue, but don't really sound like the original.
They are not reissues except for the cosmetics. In fact there's a 3 band eq in there, it's fixed but you can remove the resistors and add pots.
Reverb is expensive, more than other places where you buy gear, besides ebay which is also expensive at times. The international exposure and the sites being well known means a bigger market, so they ask higher prices.
looking at the actual sold listings, I looks like the average is about 150.

Sarah Andersen Wiki: Age, Face, Real Life, Personal Life, Family, Comics
By Oshil Pokhrel | On: 03 Apr, 2018
28 Years 7 Month(s)
Maryland Institute College of Art
When it comes to drawing the comic characters, one need to struggle hard and have some remarkable persistence to draw. Talking about the American illustrator Sarah Andersen, she became intrigued by comics, illustrating them from her early age and momentarily garnered herself over 2.4 million followers on Instagram. If you are perplexed about her personal life details, we have presented all that here.
Sarah Andersen's Career As A Cartoonist
When Sarah was in middle school, she got fascinated by anime and manga which made her excited about drawings. She drew the comics for years with the help of MS paint and posted them on Tumblr. Her comics started to gain attention and inspired her to draw more. She continued her work on comics and started her career as a cartoonist in 2012 with her semi-autobiographical webcomic Sarah's Scribbles.
Her work began to flourish when she regularly posted them, gaining attention in the big blogs on the internet. As a part of Sarah's Scribble, her comic 'Waking Up' went viral and she was recognized as a cartoonist. Sarah's Scribbles was initially called Doodle Time until GoComics syndicated her work. She changed the name when GoComics asked her to change the name as Sarah's Scribbles.
Sarah has also released her first full-length comics book collection called Adulthood is a Myth on 8 March 2016. After she worked on her comics, she published her second collection book called Big Mushy Happy Lump.

On Big Mushy Happy Lump, she has arranged lots of new materials and has some of her personal favorite comics in printed form on her book.
As for her illustration of comics, she uses the software Photoshop and Cintiq 13HD. The faces and the facial expressions she draws on her comics shows that anime and manga have influenced her in real life.
Her Personal Life Beside An Illustrator
Besides Sarah's work as a cartoonist, she loves to play the piano. At one stage of her life, she wanted to pursue her career as a pianist. However, after getting attached to anime and manga, she apprehended the beauty of art.
The famous illustrator doesn't like to wake up in the morning and usually sleeps late at night. She also hates being productive and dealing with the social situations. Her traditional comic, Sarah's Scribbles follows her life and is the semi-autobiographical webcomic. As her comics mainly follows her specific moment in her life, her family and friends recognize some things of her life and usually get concerned about her.
She also loves podcasts and listens to it while drawing her comics. As for her books, she usually read the writings of Charles Bukowski and Patrick McDonnell. Sarah also likes to visit a place called Brooklyn Kolache and eat the Kolaches.
Entirely focused on her work as an illustrator, she has never hinted her love life to her fans which makes quite baffling concerning her sweet ones.

Q: How to correctly achieve such test suite archtecture with Jest? I have checked all the guides and examples on the Jest documentation website, but haven't found anything, that could provide an answer for my question.
I am looking for a pattern which allows me to run test cases for many different functions (in my case it's getters) separately, with Jest.
As for now, in my example.test.ts file, I have the following:
import { getterOne, getterTwo, getterThree, ... } from getters;

describe('test suite', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    //connect to MongoDB
  })

  afterAll(async () => {
    //disconnect from MongoDB
  })

  //request token from DB, to check it
  it('key', async () => {
    const key = await KeysModel.findOne(_id: 'any').lean();
    expect(key).toMatchSnapshot({
      field: expect.any(String),
    });
  });

  /**
   * predefine key and some other things
   * but I can't call key here, because describe doesn't support
   * async/await, as it should be synchronous
   */

  //test separate getterOne with key variable as an argument

  //test separate getterTwo with key variable as an argument

  //test separate getterThree with key variable as an argument
})

But as we all know, I couldn't use the already defined key inside the it case. So I could define key once more on the top level, but:

*

*Is it ok to re-define the key variable for each getter test case? If I have so many getters, I'll have xN absolutely useless requests.

*As I understand it, I couldn't use async/await inside describe, because returning a Promise from "describe" is not supported. Tests must be defined synchronously.

So I am not asking, how to write code, but what is the correct pattern to writing a dependents test cases, in scenarios like this?
Could someone provide an example? Should I write more test inside describe or the common practice is a bit different from that?
What Jest methods should be used and in which order?

As for now, I am declaring empty variable via let keyword, and use them, like that:

describe('test suite', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    //connect to MongoDB
  })

  afterAll(async () => {
    //disconnect from MongoDB
  })

  describe('inside', () => {
    let key;

    beforeAll(async () => {
      key = await KeyModel.findOne();
    })

    test('getterOne', async () => {
      const res = await getterOne(key);
      expect(res).toMatchSnapshot({
        id: expect.any(Number)
      });
    });

    //other test with keys..

  })
})

Does it consider as a good practice?

A: As for now, I am using the same structure, as was proposed. But I also thankful to Estus Flask for pointing me in this direction. I don't use mockups, mainly because I test not just functions, but also a DB presence and data persistence.
describe('test suite', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    //connect to MongoDB
  })

  afterAll(async () => {
    //disconnect from MongoDB
  })

  /**
   * another describe stage below
   * with its own after and before and describe stages
   */

})
