COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL August 5, 2015 LORANE COUNTRY NEWS American Rotarians hear Pickers to fi lm about County's in Oregon Veterans Court (Perhaps Cottage Grove) C ommunities in Oregon are set to welcome Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and Antique Archeology to the area to fi lm episodes of their hit series "American Pickers" throughout the state. Filming is scheduled for September. "American Pickers" is a documentary series that explores the world of antique ‘picking’ on the History Channel. The show follows Wolfe and Fritz as they em- bark on an epic road trip across the U.S. in search of America’s most valuable an- tiques from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-of-a-kind vintage memo- rabilia. According to a recent release, "Mike and Frank are on a mission to re- cycle America, restore forgotten relics to their former glory, and learn a thing or two about American history along the way." The release adds that the show is looking for leads and would love to explore what Oregon residents, including those in Cot- tage Grove, may have stashed away. They are on the hunt for interesting char- acters with interesting and unique items. Some of what they look for: vintage bi- cycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memo- rabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, vintage musical equipment, vintage auto- motive items, early fi refi ghting equipment, vintage clothing, pre-50s western gear. "American Pickers" is produced by Cinefl ix Productions for History. New epi- sodes air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET. Those with a large collection or who want to refer someone to the show are asked to email their name, number, ad- dress and description of the collection and photos to: americanpickers@cinefl ix.com 855-old-rust. Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce Director Travis Palmer has promoted the show's fi lming as a way to potentially shine a spotlight on Cottage Grove. BY LIL THOMPSON For the Sentinel W T he regular Thursday noon meeting of the Cottage Grove Rotary Club featured a guest appearance by Jay Hall, who currently serves as an Assistant District Attorney with the Lane County District Attorney’s Offi ce. Hall, a University of Oregon graduate, also at- tained the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps, served in the Middle East and became a combat training instructor in Quantico, Virginia. Near the end of his service, Hall was recruited to be a member of the security detail of Congressman Bill Young and to handle veterans’ issues, and on Thursday, he addressed Rotarians to discuss the Veterans Court, a community court system that addresses criminal conduct among the ranks of the country’s veterans. The fi rst Veterans Court, Hall relayed, began in Buffalo, NY and was based on the drug court/com- munity court model. These days, there are over 130 Veterans Courts across the nation, and they deal with a growing veteran population, including an estimated 140,000 incarcerated vets nationwide. Assistant District Attorney Jay Hall spoke of the County's Veterans Court on Thursday. Veterans Courts reduce recidivism in the court sys- tem by 75 percent within two years, Hall pointed out, adding that the Veterans’ legal clinic at the Old Federal Courthouse in Eugene takes place in room 203 on Thursdays at 9 a.m. A DOG ' S LIFE courtesy photo Representatives from Lane County Search and Rescue, Explorer Post 178 and Lane County's search dog team dropped by as part of the Cottage Grove Library's Summer Reading Program on Wednesday, July 29. Presentations continue with an ap- pearance by Lane County Puppy Rais- ers for Oregon Guide Dogs on Aug. 12. O RDER Wooten himself would have to call it off, and he has been tapped to lead Lane County’s Task Force that has been called to help fi ght the Stouts Fire near Canyonville in Douglas County. The possibility exists that more South Lane personnel may be called south to help fi ght the fi res raging there, but Baird said it will likely depend on the cycling of crews there, which he said are ro- tated on a weekly basis. R estaurant Baird said that a cool-down in temperatures that began over the weekend won’t change the restric- tions by itself because the area is still extremely dry following a very dry and warm spring and summer. “Fuel moisture is still very low even though it’s cooled down,” Baird said. In addition, the order will not be called off anytime soon because G U I D E Continued from page 1A On Monday afternoon, the U.S. Forest Service issued a notice that it would place fi re restrictions in effect beginning Wednesday, Aug. 5 for the entire Umpqua National Forest. Under IFPL IV, known as “General Shutdown”, all industrial actions are prohibited. This includes any personal and commercial use fi rewood permits. Forest offi cials will not issue waivers for logging operations. Public use restrictions remain in effect, limiting the use of camp- fi res to fi re rings within designated campgrounds. No fi res are permit- ted in wilderness. Current Public Use and Wilderness Restrictions can be found at: www.fs.usda.gov/ alerts/umpqua/alerts-notices. For more information, contact the Umpqua National Forest at 541- 957-3200.
