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.

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.

JARVIS

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.
