Fairgrounds board to request funds from city for lights
Last year for approx-
cmay@cgsentinel.com imately one hour late
at night there were
people wielding chain-
saws blindly in the middle of Cottage
Grove. In front of a paid audience.
“It’s the lighting,” said WOE Fair-
grounds Vice President Ken Schwieger.
“There’s no lighting so when the lumber-
jack show ran long, they were out there
in the dark.”
The inconvenient, and in the case of the
lumberjack incident, possibly danger-
ous situation sent Schwieger before the
city council on Monday, June 12 with a
request: lighting for the grounds.
“They need to come to us with a num-

ber,” said Cottage Grove City Manager
Richard Meyers. Once the board provid-
ed an estimate for the repairs and up-
grades to the fairgrounds, it would be up
to the city council whether or not to give
the group funds to carry out the work.
“That money would come from contin-
gency funds unless we cut something
else,” said Meyers.
The city completed its budget process
earlier this year with $28,000 in room
tax funds going to the chamber of com-
merce and the local museum to fi x its
faulty roof. The chamber was alloted
$8,000 for printing costs in addition to
the money already earmarked for the
organization to promote Cottage Grove
Interim Continued from A1
in late spring and his intention of returning to
North Eugene. At the time, the district said three
in-house candidates were interested in the posi-
tion, qualifi ed and that hiring from within would
prevent the district from spending weeks on a
smaller pool of applicants due to the high demand
of principals around the state.
Ketcher has been in an employee of South Lane
for three years and up until her appointment as
principal, served as the dean of students and head
of the GED program at Kennedy.
“Some of the kids, when they heard about Mike
leaving, they said they hoped I got the job,” she
said. “So we already have a relationship because I
was the dean of students.”
The domino effect ended with Halie. While
she was appointed after Ingman and Ingman after
Udosenata announced his departure, the school
district will now begin the hiring process for a

The fairgrounds are used by several
groups during the year and share a park-
inglot with the speedway. The site is also
home to the “old fashion” fair that, ac-
cording to Schwieger, draws in tourists.
“The grounds have been living off peo-
ple’s good will for the last 85 years,” he
said, noting the group’s desire for more
volunteers. “When you only have a few
people doing everything and wearing so
many hats a day, you get worn out. We
could use more people and more ideas.”

tion as dean of students and GED program head
rather than continue to fi ll spots with existing
South Lane personnel.
“There’s some challenges,” Ketcher says of her
new role. “We’re moving to a new building.”
New building complete with the gym and gar-
dens aside, the district’s reshuffl ing of top admin-
istrators may not be completely ‘interim.’
According to South Lane, Ingman will serve as
interim principal of Cottage Grove High School
but should the district and Ingman agree that it’s a
good fi t, he will assume that position permanently.
“It’s the same for me,” Ketcher said. “As inter-
im, I have the ability to go back to my position if
this doesn’t work but it’s been my dream to run
my own alternative program so I don’t see that
happening.”

Currently, the fairgrounds earns money
through means including gate charges
for events and overfl ow parking from
the race track. However, the WOE does
not charge the 4-H club which utilizes
the grounds, according to Schwieger. It
also does not charge a fee for the group

The Cottage Grove Masonic Lodge's Annual Bikes for Books Program ends for
2017.
Participants in the fi ve area elementary schools read 13 or more books at their grade
level in 13 weeks. Books were selected by the student and approved by teachers and
parents.
The members of Cottage Grove Masonic Lodge #51 AF & AM. at 33322 Row River
Road held a reception for the 13 winners of the drawings made from the participants
in each of the fi ve schools in the area.
Winners and their parents were escorted to the Cottage Grove Walmart to select the
bicycle, lock and helmet of their choice. They returned to the Masonic Lodge for
pictures and an opportunity to adjust and enjoy the fi rst ride with their new bicycles.
Tim Stephens, Master, and the members of the Lodge would like to thank the dis-
trict's teachers and administrators for their ineffable help during the thirteen weeks
of the program.
Proceeds from the Lodge's, third Sunday, $6 Monthly Community Breakfast helps
pay for the Bikes For Books Program each year. The breakfast is open to the public
each third Sunday of the month for $6, $5 with a can of food. The Lodge forwards
the food donations to Cottage Grove's Community Share program, feeding the com-
munity.

Bohemia Elementary; Kendaleigh Cone, Keith Hammans, Nayomi Hernandez, and
Robyn McIntyre Mageo. Dorena School; Melina Lineberry and Nathanal Lott. Har-
rison Elementary; Sauyer Black, Alex Hopkins and Aubrey Mandlin. Latham Ele-
