Bobo and Tracy Byrnes have
been married for over a decade
and harmonizing a bit longer.
This Monday, November
20, they'll bring their act to the
Axe and Fiddle, a venue they've
been to before and one they
hope to make a regular stop on
their tours.
"It's just a great little room,"
Bobo said. "The people are su-
per nice and sweet and they
stop in and listen. We've been
anxious to get back to Cottage
Grove."
The pair, collectively known
as the Fallen Stars, specializes
in Americana rock, blending
rock and roll energy, coun-
try-fl avored
instrumentation
and folk-inspired story-telling.
The Fallen Stars have carved
out a niche in the Southern Cal-
ifornia scene all their own after
moving to the area from Boston
in 2000.
Their fourth album, Heart
Like Mine, features 16 tracks of
"stellar country roots rock" ac-
cording to Vintage Guitar Player
Magazine. The album includes
contributions from a handful
of talented musicians, includ-
ing Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters,
Wallfl owers) on Hammond B3,
Caitlin Cary (Whiskeytown)
on violin and Danny Ott (Chris
Gaffney, Dave Alvin) on guitar
and lap steel. The album has
garnered critical praise, includ-
ing the Orange County Music
Award for "Best Country/Amer-
icana Band," and being named
"Top Ten Indie/Unsigned Al-
bum of the Year" by LA Music
Examiner.
Currently, the band is work-
ing on a project for fans of the
television show, Firefl y.
" Our goal is to write a brand
new original song based on each
episode of the TV series Firefl y,
plus the feature fi lm Serenity,"
Bobo said.
The show Monday night is
free of charge and begins at 8:30
p.m.
"We love Cottage Grove. We
like going and seeing the murals
on the buildings and I think it's
a place between Portland and
San Fransisco that people forget
about," Bobo said. "We would
like to keep coming back."

nels. The second option would
be to amend current city codes
that allow property to be seized
where prohibited conduct is tak-
ing place. The third, and most
promising according to the city,
is to give a 60 day notice to all
interested parties. After those 60
days, the city requests a circuit
court to appoint a receiver. That
party can than take control of
the house.
The issue is expected to come
before the council if staff needs
assistance in implementing any
of the three options.
Tourism group set to meet
Cottage Grove First Impressions Program Plans
for Enhanced Visitor Experience – Meeting on
November 15.
What do visitors to Cottage Grove think about
our community? Are we rolling out the welcome
mat to tourists, potential new residents, and pro-
spective business owners? Can we make changes
that will attract more visitors to stay longer in our
area? How can we work together to enhance the
“fi rst impressions” of our business districts, visi-
tor services, and unique tourist attractions?
The Cottage Grove First Impressions Pro-
gram is a project of the Cottage Grove Cham-
ber of Commerce, City of Cottage Grove, Main
Street Program, and the Rural Economic Vitality
team from Rural Development Initiatives (RDI).
Support for the program also comes from Cycle
Oregon and the Ford Family Foundation. This
program launched in July 2017, with the goal
to support enhancement of the city’s downtown
business area and bicycle tourism.
First Impressions partners two communities in
the region, to provide volunteer teams to visit and
provide an objective feedback. In August, a vis-
iting team of volunteers from Oakridge conduct-
ed a day-long “fi rst impressions” assessment in
Cottage Grove, driving around the city, exploring
on foot, and visiting businesses in and around the
central business district, all with a focus on visi-
tor-oriented stores and services, and amenities for
bicycle tourism.
The assessment team looked at local infra-
structure and amenities, building exteriors, inte-
riors, and customer service. The report generated
from this visit will be presented for a communi-
ty-wide discussion about how well local efforts
are achieving their goals and where future proj-
ects can be implemented to further support the
vitality of our local businesses and community.

The Cottage Grove City
Council discussed options for
dealing with its zombie house
problem during the Nov. 13
meeting.
A zombie house has been
abandoned by its owner--usu-
ally as a result of the housing
crisis--and now sits empty or,
in the case of a particular house
discussed on Monday, has fallen
subject to squatters.
"Cottage Grove has one
house, it may have more, but
it has one house that is a prob-
lem," City Manager Richard
Meyers told the council.
The city has turned off the
water to the house but it is un-
able to turn off the electricity.
The city attorney presented
three options to the council in-
cluding having the city lease the
house from the current owner--
who is out of the area and has
ceased mortgage payments on
the property. This option would
allow the city to evict the oc-
cupants through normal chan-
