2A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL April 8, 2015 Pinwheels, colors draw awareness to 90 by 30 effort PROBLEMS UNDERSTANDING SPEECH? BY JON STINNETT The Cottage Grove Sentinel R epresentatives of Lane County’s 90 by 30 campaign in Cottage Grove are working to raise awareness of issues related to child abuse in the community to com- memorate April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, and judging by the buzz created by a few of the group’s installations downtown, Grovers are indeed taking notice. Last week, fl ower planters downtown were festooned with the blue colors and pinwheels symbolic of the 90 by 30 cam- paign, which aims to reduce child abuse in Lane County 90 percent by 2030. Further displays can be found at the Cottage Grove Library, where a tabletop setting of brilliant blue is meant to symbolize family together- ness, according to Pete Barrell, a member of the 90 by 30 campaign and the City of Cottage Grove’s Community Services Di- rector. Barrell said 90 by 30 has drawn togeth- er representatives of the major agencies charged with combating child abuse in South Lane County, adding that regional leadership teams are also forming.

It states that the group is advocating a three-step process to meet its goal: Recognizing that all Lane County res- idents have a role in preventing child abuse; ensuring that all residents know how to pro- mote a safe community and promising that all can act to prevent child abuse. Barrell said that local efforts in South Lane County include a survey of the community’s needs related to risk factors for child abuse in addition to basic awareness of abuse prevention.

Main Street 541-942-8444 It’s never Living amazed: guarding too late against becoming too familiar to honor the A mazing grace…how sweet the sound! How great Thou art! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus…There’s just something about that Name! Praise God from Whom all blessings fl ow! These are all lyrics to a few old hymns of the church. Their words convey a certain wonder and adoration of the greatness of God. This kind of wide-eyed, jaw-dropping amazement should certainly promote a hopeful out- look on life. Today we have numerous ways to experience God’s good- ness. We can watch and listen to Bible teachings on TV, radio and the Internet, fi nd encour- agement in social media, listen to uplifting music, read inspir- ing books…the list is almost endless. Sadly, it still seems that a lot of our reverence for God is gone from the Church at large. Even with all the ways the Word is available to us, it seems as though we have lost some of the respect we once had, and familiarity may be the culprit. Now, it’s not that familiarity is a bad thing necessarily, but when something—or someone—be- comes common or ordinary to us, we begin to take it for grant- ed and it is no longer special.

Born again, not bored again If we can’t fi nd anything else to be amazed about, we can at least rejoice that we will live for eternity! But in the meantime, there is much more to inspire our wide-eyed wonder; all we have to do is simply pay atten- tion. Think back to a time shortly after you were born again. How did you feel? Were you extreme- ly happy? Were you amazed by the presence of God, His grace, His love for you? How did you express your love and gratitude to Him? Did you laugh, cry or dance before Him? Did you shout praises to Him or maybe bow in silent reverence? What- ever you did was your expres- sion of the value, or importance, of your new and growing rela- tionship with God. It was the same for the Chil- dren of Israel. The Ark of the Covenant was extremely impor- tant to the Israelites because it contained the presence of God. It was holy and revered. It was special—so special it could not be touched by human hands. They inserted poles through rings on its sides in order to carry the Ark because no one could touch it. The presence of God was sacred to them. The Ark went before them ev- Eileen Aanrud 1925-2015 Eileen Aanrud of Cottage Grove died on April 2 at the age of 89.

But when Israel began to get too familiar—to take the pres- ence of God for granted—their enemies began defeating them in battle. The Philistines actual- ly took the Ark away from them. They lost the presence, the glory of God! And even when they eventually got the Ark back, some of them treated it disre- spectfully by touching it and as a result, many of them fell over dead. (See 1 Samuel 4-6.) It might seem that much of the glory of God is gone from the Church today. And maybe it’s for the very same reason: because we have lost our rev- Please see JOYCE, Page 5A memory of a loved one.

Jessie Rutter-Cothrell-Humble 1909 - 2015 Jessie Margaret Rutter-Cothrell- Humble passed away on March 27, 2015, in Astoria, Or., from a life well-lived. She had just celebrated her 106th Birthday. She was born on March 24, 1909 in a small cabin on her family’s ranch near Susanville, Oregon. Jessie was the youngest of six children born to Albert and Hallie Rutter. Her early years were spent on the family ranch near Galena, Oregon. In 1917, her family sold the ranch and began the four year journey that eventually led Jessie to Roseburg, Oregon, where she grew up as a young woman. Along the way, Jessie took her fi rst train ride, saw her fi rst automobile and electrical light, and saw the Pacifi c Ocean for the fi rst time. “Th at’s too much water,” she had said of the Pacifi c, the place she came to love the rest of her life. Jessie graduated from Roseburg High School in 1927, and worked as a hairdresser. In 1929 she married Clarence (Buster) Cothrell. Th ey moved to Cottage Grove in 1946, raising two children. Buster passed away in 1955. Jessie was a member of the Presbyterian Church and the Order of the Eastern Star. During her life she owned and operated a freight company, was a fl orist, owning and operating her own fl ower and gift shop, and a bookkeeper. In 1968 she married Leonard Humble. Th ey lived in Corvallis, Mesa, Az, Eugene, and Florence. He preceded her in death in 1985. For the last thirty years Jessie lived in Woodburn, Seaside, and Astoria. Jessie enjoyed hunting, fi shing, knitting, gardening, golfi ng, coin collecting, crossword puzzles, card playing, and crabbing along the Oregon coast. She loved traveling the United States. On one trip she drove from the Pacifi c coast to the Atlantic, and back, making sure she waded in both the Pacifi c and Atlantic oceans at the beginning, middle, and end of her journey. Closer to home, some of her favorite places to visit were Paulina and Twin Lakes.
