New laws proposed for
teenage drivers
Feb. 19, 2015
A Cottage Grove principal has drafted a
new proposal that would allow youngsters
to receive a learner’s permit at the age of 15,
a driver’s permit at 16, and a driver’s license
at 18. The proposal, now in the hands of
State Representative Keith Skelton, D-Eu-
gene, has received the support of the South
Lane Education Association.
The proposal was drafted by Lee Hen-
ningsgaard, principal at Lincoln Junior
High School, who has recently voiced con-
cern over the growing number of traffi c fa-
talities, and the disregard some youngsters
seem to have over the necessity for respon-
sible driving.
Favorable response to Henningsgaard’s
proposal was almost unanimous when it
was presented to the South Lane Education
Association. Mrs. Guy Leabo, president of
the group, said only four of the more than
100 members of SLEA indicated they were
not in favor of the proposal.
To Nicole Born and Jaime
Urenda of Cottage Grove, a
daughter.
Editor's Note: A call to CGHS
coach Jaime Urenda on Mon-
day confi rmed that the two
'Jaime Urendas' listed as new
fathers here are cousins.
CITY BEAT
Feb. 24, 1955: Cottage Grove’s new pediatric ward was opened last Thurs-
day. Seven patients were available on the fi rst day for the six-bed unit. Light
fi xtures have yet to be installed and there are still two beds to be put in, but
should be completed soon.
State law now allows youngsters a learn-
er’s permit if they pass a written test at age
15. The learner’s permit is in force until they
are 16 when they are licensed to drive upon
passing a test.
POLICE BLOTTER
Feb. 16
Henningsgaard’s proposal calls for con-
tinuance of present regulations in issuing
learner’s permits at age 15, but adds a physi-
cal examination by a doctor to check eyes,
heart and physical refl exes.

Theft, El Tapatio
Theft, 7’s Deli
Mental, McDonalds
A complainant at the station
fi led a report for theft of the lot-
tery machine key from the cash
register at the location. The in-
cident occurred sometime after
5 p.m. on Feb. 15. The loss was
estimated at $35.
A reporting person requested
an offi cer to report a lottery re-
lated theft. It was determined
that a $21 ticket was left in the
machine and taken by an un-
known suspect.
A caller said that she believes
someone put a tracker on her
vehicle, and that the dash lights
up when it shouldn’t. The caller
said she would stand by near the
business. The caller was told
that CGPD does not have the re-
sources for that kind of problem
and was advised to contact an
agency in a larger jurisdiction.

avoiding the release of 276,118
pounds of carbon dioxide,
which is equal to not driving a
car 297,921 miles or equal to
planting 3,246 trees.
