The King is Dead!” beginning Friday, May 17. “The King is Dead! The King is Dead!” is a musical play by Hal Holbrook and directed by Carmen Dow- ell. The king from last sea- son’s show, “The King Who Wanted a Whale” returns with a cast of zany royal subjects. Did the king actually get a whale? Well, yes and no. He settled for a boat made to look like a whale. The next installment finds the King and Mes- senger Boy sailing out on the moat when a storm comes up. The whaleboat hits the dock and starts taking on water. Do the King and Messenger Boy survive?

GUARANTEED DAMIEN SHERWOOD/COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL A wildfire off Row River Road burns through woodland near a residence, where occupants were evacuated. Fire from A1 the event. Due to a high volume of onlookers on Row Riv- er Road and a lack of re- sponse to clear the area, the Lane County Sheriff ’s Office closed the road for much of Friday evening. Meanwhile, three heli- copters on six-hour shifts took turns dropping water on the fire while two bull- dozers helped build con- tainment lines along the fire’s flanks. By 10:30 p.m. Friday, the threat to homes had been mitigated and the sheriff ’s office lifted the evacuation notice. Through the night, fire crews worked to improve containment of the fire, achieving 35 percent con- tainment and completing control lines around 85 percent of the fire’s perim- eter by 9 a.m. Saturday. Though the cause of the fire is still under investiga- tion by ODF, it is thought to have started at a cluster of residences near the base of the hill, according to ODF Public Information Officer Marcus Kauffman. The area is a patchwork of residences and logging slash and timber on private forest land. “Seventy-five percent of fires are human-caused,” Kauffman said. The investigation will include extensive review of forensic evidence and eye- witness accounts, a process that Kauffman says may take some time. “I’ve never seen it done in quicker than 30 days,” he said. “It’s a very laborious and comprehensive pro- cess.” On May 8, a tempo- rary outdoor burning ban was issued jointly by Lane Regional Air Protection Agency, Lane County Fire Defense Board and ODF, extending from May 9 to May 16. “Things are pretty sta- ble,” Kauffman said on Saturday. “We will be pa- trolling throughout the day and into the evening and we won’t leave the area until we deem that it’s safe. So we’ll be here on site with engines for the next couple of days.” As of Monday, contain- ment had reached 80 per- cent and all road and trail closures had been lifted. Fire crews continued to mop up the area, a process of putting the fire com- pletely out, to ensure that the fire does not reignite during the summer. On top of being aware of outdoor burning bans, Kauffman stressed the im- portance of being attuned to abnormal weather pat- terns. “I think that it’s really important for people to recognize that we are in summer wildfire weather in May,” he said. “We’re two months ahead of schedule and people need to adjust how they behave around fire, what they do with fire and adjust their expecta- tions of what they can do.” IT’S HERE!
