COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JUNE 7, 2017 5A Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago From the June 3, 1987 edition of The Sentinel Tire slasher returns: Cottage Grove Police said they have little to go on in the wake of a second spree of tire slashings in two months. Sunday night or early Monday morning, someone used an ice pick or smiliar thin, sharp instrument to puncture tires on nine vehicles in the central and and northwest neighborhoods. As of Tuesday, police had logged reports of 22 slashed tires. Commander Mike Grover said police were not sure if the slashings were connect- ed with a similar incident in late March in which 12 vehicles were vandalized. Marks of a thin, pointed object were found in the 35 tires slashed in that spree, which also took place during the late-Sunday, ear- ly-Monday hours. Police charged no one in that spree, and have no suspects in the most recent incident. Monday, punctured tired were reported on Chestnut Ave., Jefferson Ave., South M St. and Ash Ave. School board picks Gifford: The South Lane School Board on Mon- day night selected Cottage Grove attorney Milton Gifford to fi ll a vacant position on the board. Gifford will replace Rob Bressi, who resigned in April, in the Zone 6 position. Gifford will be sworn in at the board's June 15 meeting and his appointment will expire June 30, 1988. And election in March 1988 will determine who will fi ll the remaining three years of the position.
