On December <br /> 17, The Nutcracker returns to the Silva stage with its colorful sets, imaginative <br /> storyline and dazzling choreography and costumes. <br /> <br /> Toni Pimble's unique artistry and creativity is a delight for the senses, with whimsical <br /> dancing that takes the audience around the world and stirs up its sugarplum dreams. <br /> The Eugene Ballet is joined by youth dancers from Oregon for this holiday delight. <br /> <br /> The ballet will present five performances of The Nutcracker, Friday, December 17, at <br /> 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, December 18, at 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; and Sunday, <br /> December 19, at 2:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. For more information, contact the Hult <br />Center Ticket Office at 682-5000. <br /> <br />Volunteers Build Raised Beds and Plant Seeds at New Native Plant NurserF <br />On Saturday, December 11, 14 members of First <br />United Methodist Church helped the Eugene <br />Stream Team build raised beds from cedar boards <br />and sow 40 flats of seeds at the program's new <br />Native Plant Nursery at Alton Baker Park. The <br />seeds were collected from an ash grove adjacent <br />to Stewart Woods, which is the site this group <br />adopted through Stream Team last spring. The <br />nursery is located at the east end of Alton Baker <br />Park just behind the new Alton Baker Community <br />Gardens off Day Island Road. The natural area <br />that the group adopted is located in Bertelsen <br />Nature Park in the West Eugene Wetlands. <br /> <br />Members of the adoption group call themselves the <br />Creation Care Committee's Riparian Redeemers. <br />They're using the native plant nursery to do the full <br />cycle of restoration -- collecting seeds and taking cuttings, growing them out at the nursery and <br />replanting in a natural area, says Lorna Baldwin, coordinator of Stream Team. <br /> <br />The original Native Plant Nursery located at the regional wastewater treatment plant, is overflowing with <br />stock. The new nursery, like its sister nursery, will be run by volunteers and will produce native plants for <br />natural areas all over the city. Stream Team volunteers will also be responsible for planting and <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />December 16, 2004 <br /> <br /> <br />
