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

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.

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.

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

Lorane Grange meets this Thursday, Aug. 6 at
7:30 p.m. There will be potluck snacks.
Several events are talking place in Lorane this
weekend. To begin, there is a “Cruise ‘n’ Ride” go-
ing to fi ve local Granges on Saturday, Aug. 8. The
event is a benefi t for Oregon Paralyzed Veterans
and begins at Crow Grange at 9 a.m. and ends back
there at 3 p.m. Each Grange has different snacks
or entertainment and a poker run. Lorane Grange
is one of the destination stops, displaying a variety
of quilts to view, and the Grange will also have a
basket to raffl e off. All Grange baskets will be on
display at Crow Grange prior to the cruise. Then
raffl e tickets may be purchased at each individual
Grange. Lorane Grange’s basket theme is “relax-
ing at home,” and it contains wines from both Cha-
teau Lorane and King Estate, a gorgeous boiled
fused glass plate by Margie McNutt, a quillow, two
lap throws (one in UO Duck colors), one of Pat
Edward’s and Jo Brew’s books, an assortment of
cheeses and chocolate, lavender and wine glasses.
The basket winners will be drawn at Crow after the
cruise ends. The Lane Pomona Picnic is also at Lo-
rane Grange around noon.
On Sunday, Aug. 9, the annual Lorane Commu-
nity Potluck (formerly the Lorane Old Timers) will
be at Lorane Grange with people gathering anytime
after 11a.m. to visit. Eating will start at 12:30 p.m.,
allowing church members time to arrive. Then,
wander on down to the Lorane Volunteer Fire De-
partment for the annual ice cream social from 1-5
p.m. It is about four houses south of the Grange.
There are a variety of activities as well as fi re truck
rides, music and the ever-delicious pies and ice
cream.
Next week, the Rural Art Center fi lmmaking sum-
mer camp begins. Come enjoy, again this summer,
this free camp for students K-12 in the art room at
Applegate Elementary in Crow. Camp runs Mon-

lowing week from August 17 -20 from 9 am - noon
all days. Students will be making movies with Ka-
lapooia elders Ester and Shannon Stutzman, trans-
forming their stories into fi lm with music. Come
for one or all sessions. Contact Alyssa Shepherd
at malyssakshepherd@gmail.com or 541-556-8151

garage sale on the map may call Lil Thompson,
541-942-5701, to sign up for the Lorane Celebra-
