the backyard and now tend to
have smaller front porches,” she
said. This increase in a need for
privacy leads to less witnesses
around the neighborhoods, leav-
ing houses more susceptible to
burglaries.
The local residents will apply
for a Neighborhood Watch pro-
gram that LCSO will help set
up. The people will vote and de-
cide on which type of program
they would like and will begin
implementing the watch over
the coming weeks. Signs have
already been set up in the area
indicating that the Neighbor-
hood Watch program is active in
the London area.
“Even if you don’t decide to
have a Neighborhood Watch
program, those signs still help
as deterrents,” Carver said.
Nowicki will know when the
Neighborhood Watch program
will be approved once all the ap-
plications are in and background
checks are complete.
Cottage Grove for Saturday’s
screening, one evening after
“The General,” with its new
score, premiered to a sold-out
crowd at the Hollywood. (The
theatre has since added three
more shows due to high de-
mand.)
Williams explained that the
Hollywood Theatre has been
celebrating its own 90th an-
niversary all summer, and that
Oregon Film fi rst envisioned
Saturday’s screening of “The
General” in Cottage Grove as
the only event to mark the an-
niversary of the movie’s fi lm-
ing until City Manager Richard
Meyers, Keaton fanatic Lloyd
Williams and others here got
involved.
“We wanted to link the Hol-
lywood, this movie and its new
score by an Oregon composer,”
Tim Williams said, pointing out
that Orton’s love of all things
Keaton helped create a beauti-
ful piece of music. “We thought
it was going to be the only one,
but when we discovered how
cool it was going to be, we de-
cided to go after some grants so
we could do it again.”
“The General” will thus play
at the Egyptian Theatre in Coos
Bay backed by Orton’s score,
though Williams acknowledged
that Saturday’s event was the
“centerpiece” of the celebration.
Grants from the Oregon Com-
munity Foundation and Oregon
Cultural Trust will allow the
theaters to charge admission as
a fundraiser.
Before the screening, Orton,
who has scored numerous fi lms
including the 2013 Oscar-nomi-
Organist Richard Hale performed the music of silent
fi lms on organ prior to the showing of "The General."

nated “Nebraska,” explained
that his work was designed to
complement the time period
depicted in “The General,” the
Civil War era, in addition to the
1920s, when Keaton made the
fi lm.
“Buster is long dead, but I’m
hoping he might like what I
would do with his movie,” Or-
ton said.
The movie started just af-
ter dark on a large infl atable
screen, and Orton’s score car-
ried through each scene, a
continuous piece of music that
would’ve been at home onstage
without serving as the back-
drop for a major fi lm. Bits of
ragtime and early jazz spiced
up several scenes, as did the ac-
cents provided by a musician
acting as Foley and reproducing
sound effects that earned howls
from the crowd. Onscreen, Ke-
aton retained his role as the
lovable protagonist, escaping
scrape after scrape in his pur-
suit of his beloved engine and
his sweetheart, Annabelle Lee.
The crowd exploded in laughter
on more than a few occasions,
cheered when Buster escaped
his pursuers and let out a mighty
roar during the climactic scene
of the locomotive crashing into
the Row River. After the movie,
Orton stuck around for quite a
while to chitchat with the audi-
ence.

“The races could bring a
new group of folks out to the
Fairgrounds and help generate
support for the Fair,” she said.
“There’s been a lot going on in

people believe that combining

is one example of that.”
