Baxter-Dunlap said that he fell in love with Cottage Grove and loves working in a small town environment. “I like the community, small towns. That’s kind of what I was looking for. I like to be able to help people,” Baxter-Dunlap said. He said that being a police offi cer requires you to learn things fairly quickly and can be a tough job. While he is worried about getting used to the long hours, he said he’s excited to help people and fi nds it the most rewarding part of the job. He said he see’s the police depart- ment in Cottage Grove as being community oriented and that’s what drew him to apply. “They [Cottage Grove City Police Department] really like getting out there and having a good relationship with the community because if you don’t have a good relationship with the community, it’s just not gonna go very well. I like that aspect. People look at us as friends instead of enemies,” Baxter-Dunlap said. Baxter-Dunlap said he’s hap- py living in Cottage Grove and plans to saying here for the en- tirety of his career. He said he hopes to one day join the K9 unit and that he’s interested in public feedback on how im- prove as an offi cer. “I’d say I’m a pretty easy go- ing guy. I’m open to any sugges- tions, any help, not just me, but the whole police department can improve upon,” Baxter-Dunlap said. According to Johns, the Friends of the Library hopes to have the library open for a longer amount of time than it was previously citing a 20 hour week under county leadership. If the group is successful in passing the measure creating the special tax district--scheduled for the May 2018 ballot-it plans to have services available to the public 24 hours a week. "It's more time for the same amount of money," Johns said. "The measure passed in Drain so we're optomistic," she added. If Drain re-opened the library and funded it through the bal- lot measure, it would be one of the fi rst libraries in the Douglas County system to do so. The county ordered the librar- ies closed on a varying schedul- ing beginning in April of this year and ending with the closure of the Roseburg library on June 1. Currently, community groups around the county are brain- storming ways to fund their libraries including volunteer efforts like those in Yoncalla to ballot measure like the one in Drain.

According to Johns, the dis- trict would follow the same boundaries as the current school district to allow residents who live just outside of the city of Drain to benefi t as well. The city council also voted to approve a motion that listed the items the city would provide for the library district. Drain City Administrator Steve Dahl said that list would include the same items the library was granted under county control. The city will be providing the building, wifi , Internet access, water, sewer and janitorial services.

The stamp of approval comes months after an initial attempt to start a neighborhood watch-type group garnered social media ar- guments that spilled over into city council meetings and a sep- arate meeting designed to organize a watch group. The controversy centered around open carry laws and worries over vigilantism; the lone concern Shepherd said he still has. “With a few success stories here and there we can get positive stories out about them (COT),” he said. “There are some people in Facebook land who, if you give them a pot of gold, they’ll look at it and say, ‘Is that it?’” Social media concerns aside, COT is moving forward with a packet of information that includes a reporting sheet for residents to jot down information like a per- son’s physical build, hair color, clothing description and vehicle makes and models. “We want people to be aware The CHURCH OF CHRIST of their surroundings,” Glaspell invites you to join us for a said.
