Dear Senator Metsger:My name is Ervin Siverson and I live in Portland, OR. I am not a developer, a lobbyist, or represent any wildlife organization. I only write to speak of my love for the Metolius River Basin, a special place that has no voice. I first fell in love with the Metolius after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. One of our friends implored us to go there and seek solitude amongst the pines and the pristine Metolius River. I know it helped with my wife's (and mine) healing, and she has been cancer free for over ten years. Since then, we have camped there at least 20 weekends a year, fishing its special waters and hiking its many trails. This place is special, it should never be developed, it is fragile, and once it is developed and possibly ruined, there is no going back. This is why I support Senate Bill 30 in its current form. I have taken the liberty to include two photos of this special place, thanks in advance for your attention and consideration.
