COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JANURARY 11, 2017 5A Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago July 10,1957 City curfew reinstated The city curfew abandoned about eight years ago, will be reinstated again. The city coun- cil approved the reinstatement of the 10 p.m. curfew after hear- ing a report of a survey recently conducted. Jess Fasold, grade school superintendent, one of the spokespersons favoring the restoration of the 10 p.m. cur- few, said he was making the request at the suggestion of the school administrators and min- isters council. The Rev. H.D. Barkman also spoke in favor of the restoration of the curfew. Ed Jones, po- lice chief, told members of the council that one trouble the po- lice were having at the present time was that when the young boys were found roaming the streets at night, they would ex- cuse themselves on the ground they were on the road home from the show. Jones was of the opinion that a time limit was set, it would help correct loitering. The city fi re siren will be set to blow a single blast at the 10 p.m. hour as a warning. Stan- ley Daugherty, who made the motion to reinstate the curfew, said the siren could be changed to sound the warning without sounding a fi re alarm. Fasold also requested the installation of a street light at the south end of the Jefferson school grounds and the request was turned to the street lighting committee with the suggestion that the light be installed. Cottage Grove Gas company was given a temporary permit to construct a concrete saddle for the installation of a gas tank, provided such request met with approval of the state.

Body found behind Safeway Cottage Grove police have identifi ed the individual found deceased behind Safeway early last week as Spring- fi eld resident Corwin Bowen. The original report surfaced on Jan. 2 with little informa- tion released initially. According to police chief Scott Shepherd the cause of death was unknown but was expected to be weather-relat- ed. “He was not a transient,” said Shepherd. The man had a residence in Springfi eld and was visiting friends at the time of his death. The call came in at approximately 8:30 a.m. Police ini- tially suspected the individual may have been involved in a previous robbery attempt at a Verizon store in the area. “Due to the proximity, we were a little suspicious,” said Shepherd. However, after further investigation however, it was determined the incidents were not related and Bowen was not involved in the previous robbery attempt. “There was no malice and there is no danger to the com- munity,”Shepherd said. “He got caught out in the weather is what it looks like.” Further details on the investigation were not immediately available as of press time. However, police noted results were still expected from the medical examiner's offi ce and no further determinations could be made prior to receiving the results. The Cottage Grove Police Department will continue to work with the medical examiners’ offi ce to determine the exact cause of death. The victim’s name was being withheld until the prop- er notifi cations could be made. According to law enforce- ment, further tests, including toxicology reports, are need to determine exact cause of death and are expected in the coming weeks.
