Several hundred spectators managed to pack into the Fire Show and were dazzled with an inspiring show of fire, dance and delightful theatrics.

Shadows Along the Creek (Paperback) by Rusty L Savage 2.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon $14.84 Drain City Yard Sale Aug 10 The Drain City Wide Yard Sale is set for Saturday August 10th. Officially the site is at the Civic Center Park, but there will likely be yard sales all across town and even on the outskirts. Although there is no yard sale maps this year, some of the participants are the First Baptist Church on Payton Ave and Living Hope Outreach Church on West “C” Ave and I’m sure all it will take is a little drive through town to locate all the sales. The Drain Yard Sale has been a tradition for over 18 years but the original planners have retired from the promotion, in late June, Mayor Erin Sparhawk, announced it was back on. Although there seems no actual sponsor for the event, the July City Council approved the event to take place at the Drain Civic center Park, behind the Center at 205 West A Ave. The park will open at 5am for set up - and the Sales will commence after 7am. The main admonishment from the Council is that all sellers are to monitor and clean up after themselves. Even without official oversight by the City, the park will be available for anyone to set up and if past years are any indication, the entire town of Drain should be teeming with sale clusters all over town. Next year Katie Decker promises to plan and promote the yard sale as a benefit for local sports teams.

Initial returns in the July 30th recall election shows that about 61 percent of ballots were cast in favor of ending the terms of Mike Fleck, Alex Dreher and Chalice Savage. The three councilors were on the ballot separately but the vote totals were nearly identical for each of them. Initial results, for the recall election was at 37 percent turnout. Lane County Elections office does not plan to release another update until Aug. 6. The election was only open to voters living in Cottage Grove city limits. Chief petitioner Michael Borke said supporters of the recall were unhappy with the council’s handling of a number of issues, including a perceived lack of action to address the number of unhoused people living in Cottage Grove’s public spaces. Dreher, one of the targeted councilors, said even though results aren’t official yet, she’s accepted that the outcome will mean she’ll soon have to vacate the office.

A Place to Die (Paperback) by Rusty L Savage 4.1 out of 5 stars on Amazon $15.66 (Paperback ) by Rusty L Savage $13.66 NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/jivKij6 https://a.co/d/9NlFOYc Page 7 NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/2cOZfG2 Business Card Directory “Every ending is a new beginning,” she said, adding that she plans to continue to look for volunteer opportunities to serve Cottage Grove, albeit in an unelected capacity. “I am concerned that the chaos and division caused by the recall is affecting people who want to do business in our community, as well as our options to get federal and state grants,” she said. “I mean, who will want to invest in a chaotic environment? It doesn’t necessarily bode well.” If results hold, the remaining city council would still be able to meet until replacements are appointed or elected. Borke said that’s because he made sure his recall effort would still leave a quorum of elected officials even if it were successful. He said he hopes the new council members will listen to the concerns of the community. “I hope that they bring a balance to the city council and that they truly, really look at the issues that are out there,” he said. “You’re not going to make everybody happy, but you can make a heck of a lot more people (happy) when more people have a say in what the process is.” Church Directory DRAIN Assembly of God Church 975 Drain Section Rd 541 836-2369 Sunday Service 10:30am Gateway Family Fellowship Church of the Nazarene 337 C Avenue Sunday Sch 9:30am Worship 10:45am Drain Church of Christ 2nd and D street 541-836-2315 SS 9:30am/Svc 10:30am/W&T 6pm YONCALLA Assembly of God 1008 Hayhurst Rd 541 849-2800 Sunday 10:30am Wednesday. 5:30pm Church of Christ 225 Birch St Sunday School 9:55am Sunday Worship 10:45am Seventh-day Adventist Church 278 Douglas St Saturday Worship 10am -12pm ELKTON Elkton Bible Baptist Church (541) 584-2808 420 2nd St Sunday Worship 10am Elkton Christian Church 344 3rd St. elktonchristian@gmail.com Bible study 9:45 Worship 10:45 Business Card Ads $50 contact advertising@ndherald.com If you would like to see your Church listed in the directory, please send email to: churchdirectory@ndherald.com.
