The burglars gained entry by forcing wire
mesh screen over a rear door and passing
through a storeroom behind Claghorn’s
Market, police said.
Round-Up co-owner Ed MacMillan said
burglars took essentially the same items
in the first burglary.

Greenhill’s Pet of the Week: Max
Meet Max!
Meet Max! Max has been in the shelter since May and is patiently waiting to meet
his forever family! He is very good on walks and would love to go on adventures
and runs with his family. He loves playing with his toys and running around in the
yard! He is a very handsome gentleman with the cutest ears that perk up when he
gets excited. Our volunteers say “Max is so well behaved, an absolute angel. He is
very respectful and attentive.”
Max is 5 years old and weighs 54 lbs. He is a large, tan pitbull terrier mix. He would
do best as the only dog in the home but may do okay with another very aloof dog.
He should go to a cat free home and can get nervous when meeting new people.
His new family should be willing to give him some patience to warm up but once he
does, he is a huge lover. Max is such a sweet guy who will make any family very happy!
If you are interested in adopting a dog, or would like to learn more about adding a dog to your
family, please visit Greenhill Humane Society.
Greenhill Humane Society is open for adoptions seven days a week, 11 am – 6 pm at 88530 Green
Hill Rd in Eugene. For more information call (541) 689.1503 or visit www.green-hill.org.

and Oregon Avenue was originally the
Methodist-Episcopal Church. The histor-
ical society purchased it in the mid-1970s.
Once restored, the society hopes to expand
the museum’s hours of operation and
promote the building as a tourist attraction.
The next phase will be to replace the heat-
ing system.
So far, $22,800 has been raised for the
restoration project. The City of Creswell
has allotted $10,000 and an additional
$5,000 has come from Lane County room
taxes dedicated to rural tourism. The rest
is the result of various donations.
Contributions for the restoration can be
made at Siuslaw Valley Bank.
