FOURTH continued from page 1 Tracey Nelson, Angela Strehli, and musician Tony Furtado. The weekend ends with a huge Firework display July 4 presented by the Art Center and the Active 20-30 Club, a social service organization supporting child welfare to celebrate the day. Hours for the Art and Vine yard Festival are 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11:30 a.m. until the end of the fireworks display Sunday. Admission is $5 per day or $ 10 for all three days of the event. Music lovers might find the Ore gon Bach Festival a holiday activity especially suited to their tastes. New York Times critic Harold Schonberg rated the festival as "the best of its kind in the country, and an influx of renowned visiting operas and sym phonic virtuosi guarantees that this will remain the case." The more than two dozen concerts span music history from the Baroque Era to the 20th century. All concerts begin at 5 p.m. For more information, call (800)457-1486. The Oregon Horse Center offers a rodeo, including events from bull rides to motorcycle jumps. Last year, some 6,500 people attended the event, and tickets were sold out by the day of the show. Tickets are $16 dol lars for reserved seating and $12.50 for general admission. Ben Gallenson is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. SAFETY continued from page 1 supervision is a key factor in prevent ing injuries to children. He also advis es keeping a bucket of water nearby to put the used fireworks in. Goshen Assembly of God member Dorothy Hawthorne, who for the past few years has helped out with the church's fireworks stand, agrees with Perry's safety precautions. She added that there should be no smoking within 50 feet of fireworks. Her church's firework stand, located in the Albertson's parking lot on Coburg Road, is among 50 others in Eugene that have to meet strict guidelines to obtain permits to sell fireworks. Perry said the fire department conducts inspections to make sure venders aren't selling illegal fireworks. In Oregon, any firework that flies in the air, explodes or travels across the ground is considered illegal. Also, Perry said the legal age to buy fireworks is 16. People aren't the only ones affected by fireworks. Mike Wellington of Lane County Animal Regulation Authority offers tips to help keep animals safe and com fortable during the summer festivi ties. Wellington said to secure pets or animals in a quiet place where they will feel safe. Me also suggests using caution with fireworks around animals because they could chase the fireworks and become easily injured. Although there are many precau tions to take during the summer hol iday, Perry and Hawthorne both em phasize that people should be safe and have fun. For people who want a big, vibrant firework display, Hawthorne suggests two legal types of fireworks: the Delirium and These Colors Don't Run. Sabrina Gowette is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. JARVIS continued from page 1 an OllS press release. "(JarvisJ wants the board to have the freedom to pursue that course under an admin istrative structure that best serves the Governor's revitalized mission and the Board's initiatives for higher education." In the press release, Goldschmidt said the board enjoyed working with Jarvis, but both sides felt it was the best decision. "He is an outstanding educator whose contributions are well-regard ed," said Goldschmidt. Saunders said larvis praised the work the new board has done. The new board just has a different road map than his, she said. "it was a completely different job with a completely different focus," said Saunders. During his administration, which began May 2002, Jarvis dealt with harsh economic times, along with the disinvestment in higher education and extreme budget cuts, Saunders said. Tuition surcharges hit students hard during the 2002-2003 school year, she noted. "He did the best he could under the constraints of a tight state budget," Richmond said. Jarvis also conducted the university president search for Oregon State University and Eastern Oregon Uni versity, a time-consuming process. The new board is in the process of forming three new working groups, one focusing on access and affordability, the second on excel lence in delivery and productivity, and the third on academic excellence and economic development. Saunders said some of these groups' goals are to improve afford ability for two-thirds of students from a grant endowment, to work on better transfer movement from com munity colleges to four-year institu tions, and to find ways to help stu dents finish school faster so it doesn't cost them as much money. Saunders said larvis is currently in the middle of a job search. "He is looking for a new job as sys tem head or college president," Saunders said. omiedrawhorn@dailyemeraid.com hRFfiON HAH Y FMFBfll H your independent student newspaper Mad DuCkLing TChildren's heatre With Support from the ASUO. •loin us on the lawn of the Robinson Theatre on the UO Campus!
