COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL April 8, 2015 Cottage Grove Retrospective Run/walk planned at Covered Bridge A look back at Sentinel stories from 20 and 60 years ago April 7, 1955 Portland ‘A-Attack’ to alert guard Cottage Grove National Guardsmen, Company B, 186th Infantry, will par- ticipate in activities for Oregon during the simulated atomic attack on Portland, which is scheduled for sometime this month, according to Sgt. Jerald Jordan of the local group. At the time of the “attack,” National Guard units throughout the state will be alerted. Radio stations will fl ash messages of the “attack” and units will be given one hour to see how many men receive the message and arrive at the local armories and meeting places. Each unit will send hourly reports to Portland. Unit headquarters will receive a phone call as notice at the start of the attack. Sgt. Jordan has reminded local resi- dents that this “attack” is for practice purposes only and he asks that no one call the armory with questions since their line will be busy with reports. Jordan stated that to his knowledge the city fi re siren will not be blown during the “attack.” he Great Ice Cream Bowl, billed as a family friendly run/walk, will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 18 at the Chambers Railroad Bridge.

The suspect ence, respect and awe we once had for the Lord. Shake up those memo- ries of what God has done for you. Begin to do what you did when you were fi rst fi lled with God’s pres- ence, His grace and love. Learn to maintain that amazement, because the more amazed you are…the more hopeful, joyful and peaceful you’ll be, and the more “fl avor” you’ll add to this world. There are several ways we can stir ourselves up. Just stop and think for a moment. Begin to reminisce about the goodness of God in your life. Remember things He’s done for you. Consider some of the bad situa- tions He has protected you from, like perhaps a bad accident you missed because you locked your keys in the car and ran late for work. Things like this are not necessarily coincidences, and we will be able to see the hand of God at work in them if we simply pay attention. Keep a journal to record your prayer needs and then the answers and breakthroughs, or a gratitude notebook to just write down things you are thankful for. Share with oth- ers what God is doing in your life! It doesn’t matter whether they’re big or small things; remembrance is vital to maintaining hope, and these things can help remind you. When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done—is doing—and even will do in was last seen heading westbound on Main St. in a red Toyota Celica.

J OYCE Continued from page 2A erential fear and awe of God. But all hope is not lost. I think we could also say that the more amazed we are by the presence of God, the more of His glory we will see in our lives. The apostle Paul told Timothy to stir himself up (see 2 Timothy 1:6), and I think we should take the same ad- vice. Stir it up It’s like a jar of salad dressing sit- ting on a shelf—most of the season- ing settles to the bottom of the bottle. But when you shake that bottle up, all the ingredients mix together and then the dressing can add fl avor to a salad. In the same way, we can stir ourselves up and regain the rever- 5A your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it…stay amazed!

From the City's 'Friday Update' Summer Water Supply Forecast With the summer irrigation season quickly approaching, it is very informative to look at the reservoir refi ll projections from the Army Corps of Engineers for the Willamette System. With the mild winter and virtually no snow pack, refi lling of the Willamette Basin reservoirs is a concern. The Willamette System is currently 36 per- cent full and 35 percent behind what is ex- pected by April 3. Dorena Reservoir is 39 percent full and 18 percent behind. Infl ow to Dorena Reservoir is 511 cubic feet per second (cfs) and outfl ow is 149 cfs. At this time last year, these amounts were 802 cfs and 416 cfs, respectively. Dorena and Cot- tage Grove reservoirs are both projected to fi ll to a point where minimum summer fl ows can be maintained, while other Willa- mette System reservoirs are still question- able. Reservoir levels for both Dorena and Cottage Grove are important to the City. As the spring season progresses, Public Works will continue to closely monitor lo- cal reservoir operations.

Showers one. It was a horrible, stormy trip aboard the ill-fated steamer Brother Jonathan. But at the end of it, the two of them arrived in Portland for the fi rst time on Christmas Day, 1864. The fi rst person Frances met in Portland was her husband’s new boss, Addison Gibbs, own- er of the Oregon Iron Works. Frances laughingly told him she knew almost nothing about her new home. Indeed, when they had arrived, she had been sur- prised to learn of the existence of a big river about which all books she’d read about Oregon seemed to know absolutely nothing — a river called the Wallamet, or Willamette. Gibbs told her that wasn’t surprising, because very little had been written about Oregon yet. And, knowing she was an author of some renown, he sug- gested that after she’d oriented herself a bit, she might be just the person to remedy that. “Oh, if that is what is wanted, it is just in my line,” she replied, according to her later recollec- tion; “and I should enjoy study- ing the country with the purpose of writing it up.” It was this conversation that led her to Judge Deady’s front porch — and to the subject that would become her avoca- tion and her primary profes- sional interest for the rest of her life. It would be an interest that would transform her from a gifted writer of frivolities, light verse, witty prattlings and pot- boilers, into a giant of Pacifi c Northwest letters and, as the Portland Morning Oregonian acknowledged, the “Mother of Oregon History.” And it would also make her a little bitter, as she saw the fruits of her life’s work and the reputation she had earned being appropriated by an out-of-state commercial histo- rian in exchange for the modest monthly salary that she needed to buy her bread. We’ll talk about Fuller Vic- tor’s career as an Oregon histo- rian in next week’s column. (Sources: Martin, Jim. A Bit of a Blue: The Life and Work of Frances Fuller Victor.
