COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JANUARY 3, 2018 9A Year in Review Continued from A8 Football Champions It was a year unlike any other for the Cottage Grove football team. For the fi rst time in school history, the Lions completed an undefeated season and brought home the state football title. A year after falling in the state title game, the Lions capped off the season by defeating Marshfi eld 48-14 in the championship. Cottage Grove was not just victorious throughout the year but dominated teams from the start of the season. The team averaged 48 points in each con- test while giving up an eye-popping 13.6 points per game. The championship team featured head coach Gary Roberts who was named OSAA 4A coach of the year for the second season in a row. The Lions also claimed offensive and defensive players of the year at the 4A level with wide receiver Jacob Woods and line- backer Cooper Ladd. In total, the Li- ons had six players named to fi rst team all-state (Dylan Graves at quarterback, Woods and Hayden Glenn at receiver, Cooper Ladd at center, Nate Farrell as an offensive lineman and Erick Giffen as kicker) and three players on the fi rst team all-state defense (Ladd, Woods and Glenn). Swinging Bridge After city engineers deemed the Swinging Bridge unsafe in 2016, the city set on a course to fi nd funding to fi x it. A grant through the state parks department was denied. A group, Friends of the Swinging Bridge popped up at local festivals and fairs accepting donations and the city implemented a “round-up” program on water bills for residents to give to the cause. Several options for repair were presented to the city council with a heavy reliance on the public’s de- sire to maintain the bridge’s original design. Of the three choices laid out by the city, the council chose the option that preserved the movement of the bridge but did not meet state standards. Repairs are expected to range between $200,000 and $400,000. As of De- cember, the community had raised just over $2,000. However, according to city manager Richard Meyers, Cottage Grove is due for a transportation check from the state of Oregon than can be used, in part, to help fund the repair of the bridge as well as a re-submitted application for the state parks grant. Wildfi res 2017 was on fi re. South Lane Coun- ty Fire and Rescue crews were dis- patched throughout Oregon and Cali- fornia last year as more than a dozen wildfi res broke out between the two states. At the height of the season, 17 wildfi res burned in Oregon alone and thousands were evacuated, losing their Worship Directory DRAIN: HOPE U.M.C. 131 W “A” St. Drain, OR 541-315-1617 Pastor: Lura Kidner-Miesen Fellowship & Song: 11:30am Potluck Lunch: 12:00pm Worship: 12:30pm Cottage Grove Faith Center 33761 Row River Rd. 541-942-4851 Lead Pastor: Kevin Pruett www.cg4.tv Full Childrenʼs Ministry available Service: 10:00am Delight Valley Church of Christ 33087 Saginaw Rd.

Horror stories emerged from California including tales of husbands holding wives in their backyard pools to try and escape the fl ames and entire families perishing in the disasters. Grabbing the most headlines was the fi re started by a teenage boy from Washington that eventually engulfed the Columbia Gorge, burning near- ly 50,000 acres and torching natural landmarks, closing the area to resi- dents. By late summer, air quality in the valley had diminished with Lane Regional Air Protection citing the air as unhealthy or dangerous for several days at a time. The Oregon State Fire Marshal sent several strike teams from Oregon to our neighboring state for the fi rst time ever under mutual aid agree- ments, garnering SLFR an estimated $350,000 to $450,000 in time and equipment. The season was called the worst in Oregon’s history and just as the last strike teams made it home to Cottage Grove in time for Christmas, Division Chief Joe Raade said California’s Santa Ana winds paired with dry con- ditions had fueled the hard-to-contain fi res. *Bonus story: HB3030 The Youth Advisory Council managed to get a bill passed during the legis- lative session.

She had said Cottage Grove reminded her of a 1950s town and deserved to have one of the attractions as its centerpiece. However, early ef- forts to restore the attraction and fi nd it a home within the city failed. By 2017, Friends of the Cottage Grove Carousel had started tackling the project again. The group included Don Williams and several Cottage Grove notables with an agreement in place— the carousel would be gifted by the Cash family to the group if the project got off the ground. Armed with the success of the Albany Carousel, the group continued fund- raising efforts including a no-show banquet and members traveled to Florence to acquire an organ to ac- company the carousel. High school students pitched in and restored the animals during art classes and dona- tions came in from the community. Cash, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, passed away in the fall.
