OSHA courtesy
inspection
On Tuesday and Wednes-
day of last week, Oregon Oc-
cupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) per-
formed a courtesy inspection of
the City Shop, Middlefi eld Golf
Course Maintenance and Pro
Shops, Wastewater Treatment
Plant, City Hall, Community
Center Therapy Pool and Row
River Water Treatment Plant.
The City said its staff requested
the courtesy inspection to help
identify and address potential
OSHA violations before they
become an enforcement issue.
This was a health and safety as-
sessment focused on personal
protective equipment, noise and
environmental exposures, ergo-
nomics, proper chemical label-
ing, storage and identifi cation
and proper record keeping. The
two-day inspection also served
as a safety training opportunity
for the various supervisors and
staff. No major safety lapses
were identifi ed. However, there
were numerous small corrective
actions and improvements that
were identifi ed at each of the in-
spected facilities. The City will
receive a summary report from
the OSHA Inspector detailing
the recommended corrective ac-
tions.

For the Sentinel
A
very happy Thanksgiving to everyone
tomorrow. Drive safely as you travel
to family and friends and on all your weekend
shopping.
School is out until Monday, when all ac-
tivities and classes resume. Basketball and
wrestling are underway. Game schedules may
be found on the district website and in the
“Buzz.”
The middle school boy’s games are now
at the high school at 5:30 p.m. On Saturday,
Nov. 28, Crow Middle/High School wrestling
will be at home starting at 11 a.m.
Last week, two master planning sessions for
upgrades and safety measures were held, one
in Lorane at the Grange and one at Applegate
Elementary. The architects had great presen-
tations for both schools and questionnaires to
fi ll out. Public input is needed, and those inter-
ested can call the district offi ce with any ques-
tions or for more information.
It is time to think about those families less
fortunate in the Lorane and Crow areas. Box-
es are up in the organizations in Lorane for the
donation of non-perishables. There will be An-
gel Trees at Crow High School and the Lorane
Family Store after Thanksgiving.
Those
who would like to help or know someone who
could use some extra help during the holidays
can contact Holiday Helpers c/o Applegate El-
ementary by Friday, Dec. 4 or Marissa Cooper
for names on the Angel Trees.
Crow High seniors are selling wreaths us-
ing the freshest greens. Orders must be in by
Nov. 30 and will be able for pick-up on Sun-
day, Dec. 7. One is 22-24 inches for $20, and
the other a little larger at 26-28 inches for $35.
Enjoy your wreath while helping the senior
class with this fundraiser.
Be sure to mark calendars for the Lorane
Grange Christmas dinner on Sunday, Dec. 13
at 1:30 p.m. Turkey, gravy, ham and potatoes
are furnished by the Grange; everything else
is potluck. The community is invited. Again, a
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy your day as
you count your many blessings.
Selections from the City of Cottage Grove's
Friday Update
are interested in participating
Classic fi lm
in OBOB are welcome to join
the library practices. Harrison
festival
On Monday, Nov 30 the Li-
brary will host a free screen-
ing of the classic fi lm “Mister
Roberts” starring Henry Fonda,
James Cagney, William Powell
and Jack Lemon. “Mister Rob-
erts” has moments of unforget-
table hilarity, but the comedy
is tempered by sadness. The
screening will include popcorn
and beverage.
Oregon Battle of
the Books
The Cottage Grove Public Li-
brary will be coaching a third to
fi fth-grade Oregon Battle of the
Books (OBOB) team. OBOB is
a statewide voluntary reading
program and competition that
is sponsored by the Oregon As-
sociation of School Libraries.
OBOB teams are organized by
the school district to represent
schools within the district. Cur-
rently the team representing
Harrison School and surround-
ing area is practicing at the Li-
brary. Any other third to fi fth-
grade aged children that live in
the Harrison School area and
team meetings will be held at
the library on the fi rst and third
Saturdays of the month from
3:30-4:30 p.m. The regional
competition will be in early
March, 2016. Other schools that
have registered teams to com-
pete in OBOB this year are
Bohemia and Latham, so
home schooled children that live
in the area around those schools,
should contact the schools for
practice times and locations.
Sponsor a state
book
In December the Cottage
Grove Public Library will be
having a fundraising drive to
replace its children’s state book
collection, which it said is out-
dated and worn out. For a $20
donation, interested donors can
choose which state they would
like to sponsor. The Library will
purchase the book and add a gift
plate to the inside cover thank-
ing the individual or family for
their donation. All donations are
tax deductible.
