�I+w`w <br /> Mr. John Etter if f j <br /> /! �� <br /> Landscape Architect !, d/L <br /> Parks & Public Works Maintenance / <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97402 $44 <br /> September 23, 1992 <br /> I <br /> N <br /> Dear Mr. er, <br /> The Willamette Valley Retriever Club strongly supports the continued use of <br /> the Barger Pond area for retriever training and field trial events. The club <br /> and its members vigorously oppose the project to turn Barger Pond into a golf <br /> course. <br /> The WVRC has held dog training and club activities in the Barger Pond area <br /> for over 18 years. During that time, WVRC has maintained the construction <br /> of the bridge and gates. Funds from the WVRC have been used exclusively for <br /> this purpose and for cleanup and foliage control in the area. <br /> Barger is the only area of its kind in the Willamette Valley. Without this <br /> land, the club will not be able to hold its field trial events. A minimum of <br /> four events are held each year (3 days each), bringing people from all over <br /> the country to the Eugene area to compete. This revenue is important to the <br /> local business community as well as the WVRC. <br /> Barger is already a well used and appreciated natural area within the city <br /> of Eugene. There are already many golf courses in the Eugene area - - -but this <br /> is a "one of a kind" facility for retriever field trials and the appreciation <br /> of a natural park -like area. <br /> Please let us know what can be done to maintain Barger for its current use. <br /> Any information you can give us on the upcoming analysis and decision would <br /> be greatly appreciated. We need your support. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Susan E.
