COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL May 25, 2016 Rotary announces new program: Polio Plus Society C ENTER Continued from page 8A Polio Plus Society is a function of each participating Rotary club around the world, whereby each Rotarian pledg- es $100 a year that will be used through the Paul Harris Foundation to eradicate polio throughout the world through fur- ther research. Polio has been eradicated worldwide, with the exception of Syria and Paki- stan. But Rotary still needs to supply the vaccine, worldwide, for new genera- photo by Don Williams tions. Without continuing treatment, it is feared that the disease can come back. Pictured are: Assistant District Governor Mark Johnson, Janice Albrit- ton, Linda Schmale, Darrell Williams, Don Williams, Karen Winters and Chandra La Husen, who demonstrates how close Rotary has come to helping eradicate polio. B OND Continued from page 1A process, which spanned a year and a half of often in- tense meetings and canvass- ing efforts, renewed his hope for this community. “This process has really brought people together,” he said. “I’m optimistic to see all this hard work turn into a brand new school.” With the fi rst round of elec- tion results, supporters had reason to be optimistic, with support for the bond among about 55 percent of votes counted. The District believed that about 1500 votes had yet to be counted, though; hence the reluctance of Parent and others to call it a night until it looked like a sure thing. That night, the District also learned 11A that it should receive $4 mil- lion in matching state funds to put toward the bond, as districts that appeared above South Lane on a waiting list for funding were unable to pass their bonds. What’s next “Now the work begins,” Parent said of the post-elec- tion process to put the bond funds into action. The fi rm of Piper Jaffray will handle the sale of the bonds, though the fi rm is spacing out the sale of this and the 18 other bonds passed by Oregon school districts so as not to fl ood the market, Parent said. The District is scheduled to meet with the fi rm on June 28-29 to discuss the packaging of the bonds for sale. On June 6-7, a committee made largely of Harrison staffers will meet to fi ne-tune the plan for the new school, a process that will continue with BLRB Ar- chitects for a week in July. The bonds will be placed on the market on July 19, Parent said. “The money probably won’t start to fl ow until mid to late August,” she said, though some of the deferred maintenance work such as roof replacements, etc. may start this summer. The bonds may fare better than expected on the market, Parent said, which means that the Dis- trict could get a higher return than it envisioned, money that could be used to add to the projects’ contingency funds consciousness of prosperity by tith- ing. They give 10 percent to “Soup’s On,” the free community meal on Sunday evenings, and 10 percent to the national organization. They also encourage members to engage in community service. While all forms of prayer are hon- ored, CSL teaches a unique and sci- entifi c form of prayer called, “Spiri- tual Mind Treatment,” which involves a fi ve-step process that harnesses the creative process of consciousness al- lowing new levels of health, wealth, love and wholeness to become a real- ity in an individual’s life. Compared to other religions, God is gender neutral. They teach sin is simply a mistake. They embrace Christ’s New Testament teachings, but don’t believe Jesus is the only son or be used to pay down the bond debt later.

NO!” the multitude roared, and somewhere on a side street nearby someone revved a fl athed Ford V-8 engine to cover up the sound of breaking glass. The ensuing act of electoral fraud would be done so clumsily and inept- ly that within a month the Good Gov- ernment Congress would be nothing but an awkward memory in Jackson County, its leaders behind bars and its offi ceholders ousted. Unfortunately for all concerned, some of those offi ceholders did not intend to go down without a fi ght. We’ll talk about that fi ght in the fi nal installment of this story, next week.

They view Him as the son of the Only God, a teacher and ‘way- shower’, who advocates unity with God and that “It is done unto you as you believe and that heaven is at hand”. They believe the force of God is the only power in the universe and evil is real as a human experience but that it only has the power we give it. “There is more religious toler- ance today,” Lee said. “I see other churches coming closer to our be- liefs in ways you didn’t see 20 years ago. The Spirit brought me here, and I am thankful for the opportunity to see lives delightfully transformed by fully embracing these principles.” Lee said a website is nearly com- plete; to learn more about the church call 541-623-0147 or visit www. facebook.com/CSLCottageGrove or www.csl.org. n Fruit Trees 20 Palmer Ave. n Cottage Grove n (541) 942-0510 541-942-4415 MEMORIAL DAY ARRIVALS!
