Daniels, the son of Bob and Pat Daniels, founders of Farmhouse Bakery in Cottage Grove, began learning the craft when his parents started their own business about 18 years ago. “I was home-schooling our kids, so it was a pretty natural transition,” Pat Daniels told the Sentinel in a 2013 interview. “As the kids started getting older, I started making photo by Jon Stinnett bread, and people liked it a lot.” Ben Daniels helps daughter Azryel work with bread dough.

Tree planting to commemorate National Public Lands Day T he U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites volunteers to devote Sept. 24 to planting trees and shrubs and improving parks at Cottage Grove Reservoir. The event supports National Public Lands Day — the nation’s largest annual, single- day volunteer restoration effort for Ameri- ca’s public lands. Groups such as scouts, youth groups and civic clubs are encouraged to participate in the Cottage Grove Reser- voir event, but individuals and families are also welcome. For their efforts, volunteers are invited to stay in the Pine Meadows Campground at no charge, either the night before or the night of the event. “We thought it would be nice to give vol- unteers a chance to stay the night and en- 3A joy the campground they will be working to improve,” said Corps Park Ranger Christie Johnson. “The campground will be offi cial- ly closed for the season, so the volunteers will have the whole place to themselves.” Volunteers will also receive a pass good for free entry any day during the next year at public land sites managed by the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Man- agement, or the U.S. Army Corps of Engi- neers. The event begins at 9 a.m. at the Pine Meadows Campground; work will be com- pleted about 12:30 p.m., then volunteers will be treated to a pizza lunch. All volunteers are advised to wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and long pants. Gloves, tools, drinking wa- courtesy photo Volunteers who help plant trees will receive a free camping pass. ter and snacks will be available throughout the morning.

A forum for the seven candi- dates for City Council will fol- low on Tuesday, Sept. 27 and will also begin at 6 p.m. The events will consist of opening statements from each candidate, after which the candidates will address a set of questions for which they have prepared responses beforehand. Members of the audience will then be asked to prepare ques- tions for the candidates on note cards during the event. Meet and Greet to serve as business showcase D iane O’Renick of local radio station KNND said that the station sought a way to bring local businesses, nonprofi t organizations and home-based businesses together to show- case their offerings downtown, a gathering billed as the Cottage Grove Meet and Greet that’s scheduled at the Armory this Saturday, Sept. 17 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Meet and Greet will offer wine-tasting, live music and a kids’ play area and coloring con- test, O’Renick said, in addition to an outdoor chainsaw carv- ing demonstration. The Duck football game will be shown, courtesy of Dish Network. The event represents a partnership between KNND and the Cottage Grove Sentinel. The Meet and Greeg aims to incorporate aspects of the now- defunct Chamber of Commerce Business Faire and KNND’s Home and Garden Show while also offering a chance to visit the Armory, O’Renick said. “We’re hoping to get people used to visiting the Armory,” she said, “and hoping that while they’re there they might be en- couraged to see the potential that it holds for downtown and all of Cottage Grove.” Music from local bands Hay- wire and Calvary Creek will be heard outside from 3-7 p.m. Veteran to honor veterans at the Moving Wall Veterans Memorial in Washing- ton, DC.
