COM Drain from A1 include sports viewing par- ties, poker tournaments, live music, burlesque shows and both male and female topless dancing. However, some in the community have called foul, protesting that the establishment’s owner was not forthcoming about the intent to include nude dancing. Proponents of the new ordinance aim to restrict Top of the Bowl’s oper- ations as well as future adult-oriented businesses. New Rules In establishing its pur- pose, the ordinance states: “Th e City of Drain fi nds that it is necessary to li- cense and regulate all law- ful business, trade, occupa- tion, profession or calling, carried on or conducted within the corporate limits of the city by establishing a business license permit; and, to license, regulate, control, restrain, and or prohibit the nuisances caused by adult entertain- ment businesses that serve alcohol beverages pander- ing public nudity through ‘lewd exhibitions’ by es- tablishing time, place and manner regulations for the public morals, public safe- ty, public health and public convenience of the inhabi- tants of the city.” Ordinance 436 thus cre- ates a new chapter within the city’s Code of Ordi- nances for business licens- es and permits, introduces several restrictions to the operation of adult enter- Worship Directory COTTAGE GROVE: 6th & Gibbs Church of Christ 195 N. 6th St. • 541-942-3822 10:00am Christian Education: Pre-K through 5th Tim Baker, Senior Minister www.6thandgibbs.com First Presbyterian Church 3rd and Adams St 541-942-4479 Rev.: Karen Hill Worship: 10:00am Sunday School: 10:00am fpcgrove.com Calvary Baptist Church 77873 S 6th St • 541-942-4290 Pastor: Riley Hendricks Sunday School: 9:45am Worship: 11:00am The Journey: Sunday 5:00pm Praying Thru Life: Wednesday 6:00pm Hope Fellowship United Pentecostal Church 100 S.

Further, “dress-code lewd exhibitions” may only be performed two nights a week, on Friday and Sat- urday, from 8 to 10 p.m. Doors must be closed by 10 p.m. all days of the week. Adult entertainment business must also prevent direct view into the venue from the outside. “They go through a little bit deeper scrutiny because they are pandering public obscenity. ... They are pandering public nudity; public nudity is a crime.” — Drain City Councilor Jo Barker defi ned by the applicable state law; and taken as a whole, lacks serious liter- ary, artistic, political or sci- entifi c value.” Th e section goes on to in- clude a litany of grievances and concerns regarding the establishment includ- ing: evidence of crimes oc- curring in and around the business; the owner having presented “false represen- tation or statements” to the city regarding the nature of the business’ operation; substantial moral outrage expressed by the commu- nity (in particular at the establishment’s proxim- ity to churches); historic secondary negative eff ects caused by such businesses; and concerns for the safety of vulnerable citizens. New restrictions were also introduced, which take aim at the “nuisance aspects of establishments that off er entertainment or serve alcohol beverages.” Such regulations include limiting the alcohol con- tent of beverages served during any form of public nudity exhibitions to 6 per- cent and the requirement that “pasties” for women and G-string thongs for any nude dancers be worn In restricting the place- ment of adult entertain- ment businesses which off er “public nudity enter- tainment,” the ordinance sets a 500-foot buff er zone between such establish- ments and a list of other sites which include, but are not limited to, locations where minors may congre- gate, parks, medical mar- ijuana facilities, doctor’s offi ces, health care clinics, churches, libraries and restaurants. Additionally, no two adult entertainment busi- nesses are allowed to be within 1,000 feet of each other within city limits. Th e addition of business licenses is also a new de- velopment for the City of Drain, making it unlawful for any person to conduct business within city limits without fi rst having ob- tained a license. With some exceptions, all businesses are required to fi le for a li- cense within 90 days aft er Sept. 1. Adult entertainment businesses are targeted in particular to provide a statement of whether the applicant or anyone involved in the establish- ment’s operation has been convicted in the past 10 years of any crimes listed in the ordinance. Finger- prints, photos and a police department background investigation are also to be included. “Th ey go through a little bit deeper scrutiny because they are pandering public obscenity,” explained Bark- er. “Th ey are pandering public nudity; public nudi- ty is a crime.” All adult entertainment businesses are also subject to annual Planning Com- mission reviews. Community Debate Th e Aug. 1 city council meeting was held before a divided public audience, some of whom had rallied in support of Top of the Bowl. Staff and city council, too, seemed to lack con- sensus on the issue. As explained at the meeting’s outset by City Administrator Steve Dahl, the city’s attorney had previously suggested that “passing an ordinance ban- ning nude or topless danc- ing would go against the Oregon Supreme Court view of freedom of expres- sion.” However, Ray Hacke, an attorney with the conser- vative legal defense organi- zation Pacifi c Justice Insti- tute, contested that the city would not be in violation. Hacke, who is off ering his services to the city pro bono, collaborated with Barker and Dahl to devel- op the ordinance. In Saturday’s meeting, Mayor Justin Cobb stat- ed that he had previously expressed concerns about the requirement of back- ground checks. “I still have those same concerns,” he said. “I think that’s a bit overreaching.” Audience commenter Michael Welch-Cook, who See RULES 8A Dentistry is our profession, people are our focus.

We post both U.S. fl ags and POW/MIA fl ags to honor all veterans and to show support for our great country. Since Veterans Day is the 11th of November, we have decided to use the 11th of each month to honor our veterans, whose sacrifi ces have made it possible for everyone to voice their opinions and live in a free country. The City of Cottage Grove installed the holes in the sidewalk so we could post the fl ags along the street and the American Legion is marking and maintaining the holes. It is an Honor and a Privilege to provide this service to our community. AMERICAN LEGION, CALVIN FUNK POST #32 COTTAGE GROVE, OREGON STEVE WESOLOWSKI - COMMANDER
