Local man takes a jaunt to Siberia
“We called ourselves the Lost Children

of the Baikal,” said Patterson, laughing.
Pat Patterson’s love of the outdoors has
taken him to more than his share of out-
of-the-way campsites.
But one of his latests jaunts makes “out of
the way” seem like an understatement.
The Cottage Grove city councilman and
longtime scout leader traveled halfway
around the world this summer as part of a
team of American scouters invited to help
promote the scouting in the former Soviet
Union.
And while some American scouters spent
hours in meetings on how to organize,
fund and administer scout programs, Pat-
terson pulled a plum assignment: Working
directly with the Siberian Scouts on the
shores of Lake Baikal.
Monroe St. resident David Mrvich eyes the sleeping
boxcar which came to life last Thursday. Twenty-seven
fl at cars had pushed the sleeping boxcar off the tracks.
It had been idle for nearly a decade.

Oregon Water
Utilities Council
@
Cottage-Grove-Sentinel
the monthly meeting of the
Oregon Water Utilities Coun-
cil (OWUC) in Bend. OWUC
represents the interests of water
utilities around the State in leg-
islative, legal, regulatory, and
policy matters.
OWUC has also been at the
forefront of issues surrounding
the Willamette Reservoir Study
and the proposed allocation of
water rights, from excess stored
water, to municipal use. It is
important for Cottage Grove to
stay abreast of these issues as
we plan for future water devel-
opment needs.
Saddle span
disassembled
The saddle span that has
graced Bohemia Park this past
summer and was the venue for
several concerts in the park
was disassembled last week
for winter storage. Last year,
Public Works acquired a large
box trailer, which is used to
store the cover material, support
poles and security cameras. The
trailer is parked at the City Shop
over the winter months, and the
saddle span will be reassembled
next spring for the 2016 con-
certs in the park series and other
activities.
On Thursday and Friday of
this week, Public Works Di-

“They were up doing those meetings eight
hours a day while were out singing songs
and having fun with the kids.”
Patterson spoke virtually no Russian and
few of the Siberians spoke English, but
communication was easy.
“I didn’t have any problem,” said Patter-
son, “kids are kids.”
But getting there was another matter.
Siberia has no integrated highway system,
which leaves travelers little choice but to
ride the Trans-Siberian Railway or fl y.
And Flying in the former Soviet Union
can be a hair-raising experience.
“When we landed in Omsk, there were all
these planes sitting there with their cowl-
ings pulled off,” said Patterson.
