COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL | WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2019 | 7A Bookmine to host book signing for Katherine Wilson Katherine Wilson has authored a new book, “Echoes from the Set,” and is stopping by Cot- tage Grove for a book signing. The memoir reflects on 50 years in the mov- ie business and experi- ences with big names in the industry such as Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas and Rob Rein- er. The book chroni- cles work on some of Oregon’s most famous movies including “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” “Animal House,” and “Stand By Me.” Wilson will be signing her new book, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 24, at The Bookmine, 702 E Main St. Baroque concert and lecture comes to Cottage Grove The University of Ore- gon’s international confer- ence “Musicking: Cultural Considerations” encom- passes the music of the medieval, renaissance, Baroque, classical and ro- mantic eras. It is organized annually by graduate stu- dents of the University of Oregon and presents a week full of masterclass- es, lectures, panel discus- sions and concerts, fea- turing world-renowned “early music” performers and scholars.

Natascha Reich, music director at First Presby- terian Church Cottage Grove, established the link between Cottage Grove’s music lovers and the Mu- sicking conference organi- zation. The result is a concert at First Presbyterian Church (216 S Third Street) on Sunday June 2. The Musicking Confer- ence Oratorio Orchestra will present a cultural- ly-informed performance of excerpts from G.A. Perti’s “La Beata Imelde” and Q. Colombani’s “Il martirio di S. Cecilia,” conducted by Professor of Musicology Marc Van- scheeuwijck. Audience members are invited to experience an afternoon of 17th-centu- ry heartfelt (and at times ecstatic) expressions of di- vine love, a deep dive into Cecilia and Imelde’s inner devotionality. The concert starts at 3 p.m., and like all Musick- ing events, it is open to the public and offered free of charge. For those who are in- terested in music history, there will be a pre-concert lecture at 2:30 p.m. Snacks will be provided after the concert by mem- bers of First Presbyterian Church Cottage Grove. dramatically due to a lack of supply. A line-item diagram of costs reveals that Ham- ilton was able to refine expected labor hours and thus shave $40,131 from the original estimate. Material costs, however, increased by $141,362, more than half of which was due to a striking rise in the costs for steel ca- bles. The raise in cost has significance in light of $750,000 being budgeted by the city for the Swing- ing Bridge Project. Be- cause the GMP is a fixed ceiling and not necessari- ly the amount that will be spent, the city is intending to work at bringing final construction costs down by the time the project is finished. “When I’m working with contractors, I’m always reviewing with them, almost on a daily basis, how can we do this more efficiently for less cost,” said Cottage Grove Civil Engineer Ryan Sis- son. “If they seem to be inefficient or are working slowly, I will address it.” In Sisson’s presentation to the city council on May 13, he outlined other po- tential cost-reducing ar- eas. Opportunities for fur- ther reductions include $28,375 earmarked by Hamilton Construction for contingency funding of unforeseen events such as accidents. If the project is completed smoothly without any such events, this money will come back to the city. By providing its own temporary construction signs and cones, the city can also save another $5,107. Donations are a possi- bility as well. Discussions with local companies have yielded potential contributions of about $7,108-worth of concrete and steel rebar. Initial estimates on possible reductions by the time construction is completed are around $40,591, which opens the possibility that the entire project may come in within budget should any other reductions be found. Further possibilities were opened up on Fri- day when an addendum was made to the GMP agreement moving the construction deadline up to Nov. 29, thus poten- tially reducing more labor hours. As the agreement has been signed by the city manager and given au- thorization to proceed, Sisson said he will be keen on finding money-saving tactics down the road. “I’ll be looking for ways we can stack tasks,” he said. “I’ll be looking for inefficiencies.” Hunger from A1 origins are based on hum- ble Eugene beginnings, ac- cording to Meier. In 1983, a recession had put many people out of work and the impact was noticeable to letter carriers who traveled door to door. “All your customers be- come your friends after a while,” Meier said. “Three guys started it in the main offi ce of Eugene and tried to help some of the cus- tomers. Then it went city- wide and then it morphed in a national thing.” By 1993, the program had been fully adopted by NALC and has raised well over a billion pounds of food during its lifespan. Meier estimated that the Eugene-Springfi eld area averages around 100,000 pounds per food drive. While the national drive is usually conducted once a year, the Branch 916 still does two — once in the spring and once in the fall. “It works out really well because they’re spaced far enough apart that, for example, Food for Lane County shelves start to run dry about the time a drive kicks in,” Meier said. Meier hopes to see more donations when the fall event comes around. “It started as a giving thing,” Meier said. “We’re just trying to give back to the community because we are in the community every day and we make friends and you see kids grow up and graduate and so when you get a chance to give back and help your customers, it’s just a pretty natural thing.” Though a nationwide effort now, the project’s 4U Simple Bookkeeping Your Regional Public Transportation Service Accounting • Payroll Personal & Business Income Tax No elgibility requirements. 1623 S. 6th Street, Cottage Grove 541-942-0456 southlanetransit.com 541-206-4703 Lic# B15742 The Flower Basket and Gift Boutique “A Flower Shop and so much more” 20% OFF One regular priced Gift item or Boutique Clothing item We Have Hanging baskets, Veggies and more!
