10A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL APRIL 11, 2018 CGHS Athletic Department holds second annual auction By Zach Silva zsilva@cgsentinel.com With Cottage Grove dark blue and gold deco- rations hanging around the armory, the Friends of Cottage Grove Athletics hosted their annual auc- tion on Saturday night. The funds from the event go to the different teams at Cottage Grove High School. Last year the event raised $25,000 and with that money, the group was able to buy new tarps for the base- ball and softball fi elds and give each team equal amounts of the remaining funds. “Everybody that thought this was just like a football event or basketball event, that is abso- lutely not the case,” said Brogan Weybright who is president of the booster club. “This is for the high school athletic program. For next year, we don’t know yet what we’re going to do with the funds but it will be easy to spend. We’re going to divvy it up like we did and then whatever the cap- ital improvement project that we need to support, we’ll support.” As each team fundraises to raise money for specifi c team needs, Weybright is hoping that the funds from this event can help make it easier for each of the teams. “There’s no money for them so they’re out hav- ing to hustle to play ball. That’s unfortunate. When I was a kid that wasn’t the case,” he said. Cottage Grove High School Athletic Director Gary Roberts, who serves as the secretary of the dinner auction committee, also sees a need that the auction can address. “Our school district does the best job that they can with funding us but when it comes to some of the larger items that sports programs need… just ar- en’t covered in our athletic budget. I mean our teams fundraise for everything,” he said. While the group is unsure of what their big-tick- et item will be this year, there is no shortage of op- tions. Roberts noted that there have been discussions around wrestling mats and volleyball nets which have both been around since the high school was re- modeled. The group is also thinking of a scoreboard for when the pool is remodeled. It was the second year in a row of the auction event and the fi rst year since the booster club is now separate from working with South Lane School Dis- trict (SLSD). SLSD cut ties because of the auction- ing of fi rearms at the event. “It was because we did have a fi rearm raffl e for the glock, for pistols and we did have a hunting rifl e involved in the auction. So, that’s a part of it. But the Break-in reported at local dispensary Willamette And Cottage Grove Speedways Participate In 2018 Victory Visit At Shriner’s Children Hospital By Ben Deatherage For The Sentinel Portland, Oregon- Drivers and personnel from both Cottage Grove Speedway and Willamette Speedway were part of a special event on Wednesday, April 4th at Shriner’s Children Hospital in Portland. They would visit with children that were suffering from various illnesses that required them to be hospitalized. It was a perfect opportunity for the kids to receive a rare opportunity to meet real race drivers face to face. The event was dubbed as the Victory Visit and was the second consecutive year it has taken place. “Last year we just had drivers from just Willamette Speedway come up,” comment- ed event organizer Buzz Mitchell, who is a longtime race fan and track sponsor at the Lebanon 1/3-mile facility, “this winter I ended up to talking to Heather (Boyce) down at Cottage Grove and wanted to in- clude her too. I have a lot of friends from down there and I wanted to make sure they were involved.” In addition to meeting with patients, the visitors were also given a full tour of the fa- cility. After everything was said and done all parties involved would end the day with smiles on their faces. It proves just how wonderful and caring individuals in the rac- ing community are towards their fans and the public. “It is a trip that I look forward to every year,” said Willamette Speedway Race Di- rector, Jeremy Means, “We had a lot more drivers from Willamette this time versus last. We even had more kids to see this year too which was very cool. A lot of the kids that I interacted with in the activity room were girls and having female drivers there put a big smile on all their faces.” “I want to send a big thanks to Buzz Mitchell for inviting members of the Cot- tage Grove Speedway to be a part of such a moving event,” stated Heather Boyce, Gen- eral Manager of CGS, “I can’t wait to come back next year because it was so incredible to see all the kids’ reactions to visiting with all the drivers. It’s so heartwarming to see their lives touched in such a positive man- ner.” Cottage Grove Speedway is slated for their second race of the season on Saturday, April 14th while Willamette Speedway will have a launch their 2018 campaign on the same date.

Cottage Grove does not issue a business license other than a used merchandise license for sec- ond-hand stores and another for taxi services. Any law the council passed barring businesses based on ideaology, Boone said, would be struck down and taxpayer money the possible source of funds paid to fund judgements against the city. Resident Annie O'Dean addressed the council and urged the members to view the Wolfclan Armory website she called "concerning." Venice Mason, who attended last month's protest and says she's since attempted to apologize to Wolfclan for any of her actions that may have been confrontational, told the council that the business represented groups that were a danger to portions of Cottage Grove's population. After his release from prison, Laskey was photographed with a known white supremacy group. "I'll cut to the chase on this," councilor Garland Burback said Monday night. "Just don't shop there."

So, it’s not just the fi rearms, it’s also the adult beverage aspect to it which makes it better for all of us if it’s a booster club event and not a school district sponsored event,” Roberts. “It’s very good to have a separation.” “And the fi rearm thing, some people have an issue with it. It’s part of Oregon, it’s what we do. People hunt, people fi sh. This is our community, it’s not about school shootings and I want people to know that,” said Weybright. “We don’t want to sweep it under the rug. I want it to be known that we support the outdoors.” As of this print, the fi nal tally for funds had not yet been calculated. The group was hoping to raise $30,000 at this year’s event. “Year two went better than year one and year three is going to go better than year two,” said Roberts. On Saturday, April 7, Cottage Grove Police received a call report- ing "noise" at Mandy's Meds in downtown Cottage Grove. When police arrived on the scene, they found a broken window. "Normally they don't get in those places because they're pretty well fortifi ed," said CGPD Detective Doug Skaggs of the break- in. An arrest was made but due to the suspects at, reported as 17, CGPD is not releasing a name.
