COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL October 21, 2015 Cottage Grove Retrospective CITY BEAT A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 80 years ago Selections from the City of Cottage Grove's Friday Update Cottage Grove Youth Advisory Council (YAC) Oct. 24, 1935 Lumber outlook not too cheerful T he general outlook for the northwest lumber indus- try is not as cheerful as it might be. It becomes more apparent every day that the big bulge in buying that was experienced during the late summer months was out of proportion to the cur- rent consumption, even granting that much more lumber is being used that there was a year ago at this time. That is particularly true of the domestic cargo mar- kets. Nearly ever mill had a lot of business unfi lled when the strike was called because it will be remembered there were very few plants that had their crews taken from the jobs on the same day and most of them were out before the tentative date which had been announced for May 6. The Filling of these old order, together with a heavy volume of new business, placed en route at very big footage of lumber a few weeks after the mills go to going. Remembering the tieup which resulted from the long- shoremen's strike, everyone was inclined to take at face value their threat to go out again the latter part of September, con- sequently nearly all domestic cargo buyers anticipated their requirements.

Scenic Bikeway conference City Manager Richard Meyers attended the Or- egon Scenic Bikeway Proponent Conference in La Grande, Oregon recently as a member of the Or- egon Scenic Bikeway Committee. The conference is held to review the Scenic Bikeway program and to discuss the progress of the Scenic Bikeways designated throughout the State. The Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway in Cottage Grove was one of the early scenic bikeways designated in the State program. At the conference the results of a report conducted to examine the economic impacts of Scenic Bike- ways were presented. The report, prepared by Dean Runyan Associates, listed Cottage Grove’s Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway as the fourth most ridden of the 12 Scenic Bikeways. Cyclists who rode the Oregon Scenic Bikeways made expenditures of approximately $12.4 mil- lion in 2014. The 8,400 rides on the Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway translated into about $1,390,000 spent by the riders. Focused traffi c enforcement The Cottage Grove Police Department utilized some additional staffi ng on Wednesday and Thursday of last week to conduct focused traffi c enforcement in a few problem areas. In response to a complaint, offi cers issued nine citations on Wednesday for parking in a fi re lane near Lincoln Middle School. On Thursday, offi cers conducted 15 traffi c stops, which resulted in warnings or citations for 11 failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, one for cell phone use and three for failure to obey a traffi c control device. The City says additional efforts are being planned and will be conducted at different locations in the com- munity.
