COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL August 19, 2015 F REEBIES Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 20 and 60 years ago Lack of display space cuts Western Oregon Exposition Exhibits Sept. 1, 1955 Vintage cars took to the track Aug. 16, 1995 Vintage exhibitions are an ever increasing popular attrac- tion to an evening of automo- bile racing and Saturday night was no exception at Riverside Speedway. From a one-of-a-kind Chassis built by Frank Kurtis in 1948 to motor names like Drake and Of- fenhouser they rolled into town. Walt James, 72, an inductee of the racing hall of fame in 1993, displayed his driving abilities in the Howard Segur Spring. The Chassis was home-built by Segur in 1938. Segur raced the car until the onset of World War II when he stored the car in his mother’s garage. There it sat until 1980 when Segur pulled it out, put his Offy motor in and went racing again. Now, at 82 years of age, Segur leaves most of the driving to others. Also on hand was Lou Klein- auer, 76, who begain his racing career at Jeffries Barn, Calif., wen he was only 15. Kleinau- er’s vintage sprint dates back to about 1936. It originally ran a Winfi eld motor but now has a Hal Double Overhead. A total of 669 exhibits were shown at the fi rst annual West- ern Oregon Exposition (un- der this particular name) and a crowd attendance was on hand to view festivities according to Mrs. Leon Morton, fairboard secretary. While exhibits were below last year’s all-time high of 1197, an acute lack of space cut down the displays, especially in the art and textile divisions. Aug. 10 Welfare check, Hwy. 99 The caller said that there is an older woman who lives in the apartment next to him say- ing that people keep stealing her money and medications, and she doesn’t know what to do about it.

Criminal mischief, South Lane Wheels During a follow-up to a pre- vious incident, the complain- ant said there was new criminal Total Exhibits were broken down as follows: Farm produce – 112, 4-H – 94, Food – 107, Hobbies – 24, Art – 47, Textile – 65, Flowers – 107, Livestock – 75, and F.F.A. – 40. Mrs. Morton stated that the outlook for better fair facili- ties was much brighter for next year, as the material for live- stock shelters had already been donated and a small building fund, from drawings at the far, started. The Cottage Grove Police Department said that free gun locks have been quite popular with visitors to its station. The locks were pro- vided by Project Child Safe, and there are still a few available.

CITY BEAT Selections from the City of Cottage Grove's Friday Update Cottage Grove hosts regional Or- egon Main Street network meeting The statewide Oregon Main Street organization will be host- ing four regional networking meetings this summer, includ- ing one that took place Tuesday in Cottage Grove. Oregon Main Street is housed in Heritage Pro- grams and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The program works with communi- ties to develop comprehensive, incremental revitalization strat- egies based on a community’s unique assets, character and heritage. Services are based on the successful Main Street Ap- proach developed by the Na- 6 -day weather forecast tional Trust for Historic Preser- vation and include training and technical assistance. The goal is to build high quality, livable and sustainable communities that will grow Oregon’s economy. Previously, statewide network meetings have been held quar- terly. This is the fi rst trial of regional entwork meetings, which provides the opportunity for regions to discuss topics that are more specifi c to them. “We really hope to stimulate a regional downtown dialogue,” says Sheri Stuart, Oregon Main Street State Coordinator. All citizens or groups interested in learning more about downtown revitalization are welcome to at- tend. Cottage Grove is one of four cities in the state that will have the opportunity to sponsor this event, along with Bandon, La Grande and Newberg. The purpose of the regional network meetings is to: Meet fellow community mem- bers working on downtown revitalization efforts in your area Encourage conversation be- tween communities Share information on project successes Identify challenges and oppor- tunities affecting local down- town revitalization efforts Give feedback to Oregon Main Street on ways they can be of assistance to our communities.

Guide Dog pup- pies at the Library On Wednesday, Aug. 12, the Cottage Grove Public Library was lucky enough to host a spe- cial program presented by the Lane County Puppy Raisers for Oregon Guide Dogs for the Blind. One working guide dog and four puppies-in-training, along with their handlers, vis- ited the library to help educate Summer Reading participants and their parents about the guide dog process. The presentation included an opening discussion and education about blindness and how guide dogs help their partners, activity tables where kids were blindfolded and tried to complete tasks such as putting toothpaste on a toothbrush or pouring water into a cup, and a Braille typewriter that kids used to type their name in Braille. At the end of the program the guide dog vests were removed from the puppies so that the kids had a chance to pet the puppies. Learning not to touch a dog in a service vest was an important part of the program. Thirty-eight children and 31 adults attended this program.
