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. The victim told dispatch that
an unknown suspect stole $347
last autumn.
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.

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.

Summer Reading
wrap-up party
The Cottage Grove Public Li-
brary will host a performance
by Jay the Magician for its
Summer Reading Wrap-Up Par-
ty on Wednesday, Aug. 19 from
2-4 p.m. Even those who did
not participate in our Summer
Reading Program... everyone is
welcome to this celebratory free
event.
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.
