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.
Winona passes on Williams:
Cottage Grove City Manager Bruce Wil-
liams apparently will not be the top admin-
istrative offi cial of Winona, MN.
An aide to Winona's acting city manager
said Monday that Williams was third on the
list of three fi nalists for the position after a
round of personal interviews last week. Wil-
liams interviewed for the job May 26.
The council has yet to name it's new city
manager, the offi cial said.

From the legislature

Legislators revealed the long-awaited trans-
portation package on May 31. The document,
nearly 300 pages long, would raise $8 million
over 10 years to address the state's roads and
bridges. The funds will be generated with a
higher gas tax, registration fees, tolls and taxes
on bicycle purchases. The legislation would
have the gas tax rise from 30 cents to 42 cents
by 2025. Public hearing on the bill will take
place in Salem June 5 to June 7.
•
A bill fi led on May 31 would prohibit public
bodies in Oregon from disclosing the immi-
gration status of individuals unless otherwise
mandated by law. It would prevent the time
and date of hearings, court dates or appoint-
ments that are not already public record from
being disclosed. The bill comes after several
undocumented immigrants have been taken by
ICE from courtrooms including women seek-
ing protective orders from abusive spouses or
partners.

Local forest service might be moving:
The U.S. Forest Service is considering
proposals to expand its offi ces and facilities
for the Cottage Grove Ranger District of the
Umpqua National Forest.
The lease on the district's current facil-
ities on the Cedar Park Road expired in
January and the district has operated under
an extension since then, said Jeanie Jenks,
a local forest service business managment
assistant.
Federal regulations require the fi rest
service to open up applications for leased
facilities when the rental terms expire on
existing buildings, Jenks said. The agency
moved into its Cedar Park Road facility af-
ter construction in 1976.
The price of it:
Offi ce space for sale in downtown was
advertised for $79,000. Front disk brake
service asked $59.95, 10-lb. bag of Russet
potatoes cost 87 cents, and frying chickens
were 49 cents per pound.

Port-
land Mayor
Ted Wheel-
er requested that the federal government step
in to stop two rallies planned in Portland this
week past weekend including the Trump Free
Speech rally and March Against Sharia rally.
The rallies come shortly after two men were
killed and one injured when intervening when a
man was heard shouting at two teenaged girls,
including Muslim perjoratives. The man cut the
throats of all three men. He later said in court
that his actions were "patriotic."
