He’s been the pen behind
Guy Clark, Janis Ian and Peter
Paul and Mary. But tonight,
Jan. 19, Buddy Mondlock will
showcase his work in his own
voice.
Th e songwriter is headed to
the Cottage Events Venue for a
7 p.m. show as part of the ven-
ue’s latest concert series.
“You might have heard his
song “Th e Kid,” recorded by
David Wilcox, Peter, Paul and
Mary and Cry, Cry, Cry, and
maybe even sung it yourself
around a campfi re,” said Kim
Still of the Cottage Events
Venue. “He draws you into his
world — where a single snow-
fl ake follows the trajectory of a

longer off ering a service that
would off er fi xed times for ser-
vice.
According to Rees, the MOD
program would continue to be
monitored and alterations to
services could be made. “It’s a
pilot,” she said. “It could take
anywhere from 10 minutes to
40 minutes depending on the
trip and what the algorithm
looked like.” When asked to
defi ne “long wait time” by
councilor Greg Ervin, Rees
noted that a 40-minute wait
would be at the longer side of
the spectrum.
“Th ere’s one word for this,”
Fleck said. “A boondoggle. It
will be horrible for folks who
live in the section of town who
will be forced to use this ser-
vice. When you get a 98 route
which is normally a 25-minute
ride now turning into 50 min-
utes and then a 40-minute wait
for an additional bus, this is ri-
diculous. It’s unacceptable and
hurts the lowest income peo-
ple.” Fleck did diff erentiate be-
tween his approval of the MOD
program versus the reduction
in service and reassured his
support of the local South Lane
Wheels program.

you’re not careful

that don’t come

Currently resid-

sons at age 10 be-
fore performing at
open mic nights
around the city af-

where you might swim over the his guitar at the Kerrville Folk
Festival.
A few phone calls to Nash-
ville later, and Mondlock was
headed south with a U-Haul
and his guitar.
In between recording solo
records and writing with Garth
Brooks, Mondlock continued
touring and his next stop is
Cottage Grove.
“I’ve never been to Cottage
Grove,” he said. “I’ve been to
Eugene but that was quite a few
years ago. I do remember that
it’s a beautiful part of Oregon
so I’m looking forward to it.”
Admission to the show is “a
suggested” $20 at the door with
all proceeds going to the artist.

LTD representatives not-
ed that changes to the service
would be considered during
one of the organizations three
adjustment periods and results
of public surveys regarding the
service would be taken into
search of a problem. Th ere have
been dictators elected to run
countries because they keep
the trains running on time and
now the council is going to do
something that would have the
trains not running on time.”
Th e vote before
the council on Mon-
day night was to ap-
prove the process
allowing the city to
act as the receiving
agent for funds for
South Lane Wheels
to take part in the
program—not
to

of services.

table, the board vot-

subsequently made a motion to
reconsider the issue at the next
city council meeting once the
agreement between LTD and
the city was complete.
Under the proposed chang-
es, the MOD rides would run
$1 per trip and current LTD
fares would still be honored.

program and reduced services
would be June of this year.
According to Rees, the MOD
program was implemented af-
ter it was funded by grants in
several other communities and
results showed an increase in
rider diversity and greater ac-
cess to public transportation.
LTD did not apply for a grant
to implement the program.
