Vernonia: The Little Town Did You Know… From page 18 Many people have told me they do not want their children riding on Bridge St. or the Rock Cr. Bridge because of the vehi- cle traffic. I can understand this and I recognize that the bridge and downtown are both narrow and leave little room at times for vehicles to traverse them. When the council enacted Or- dinance 745 they also dis- cussed “Alternative Routes” for non-pedestrian traffic. These routes include the Linear Trail and Maple St. The car vs. bicy- cle accident on Thursday is a vivid reminder that accidents can and do occur in Vernonia. Lastly, on Monday I received a letter from the Oregon De- partment of Justice (ODOJ) re- garding Charitable Activities solicitations. The letter com- mented that though there are numerous legitimate solicita- tion campaigns going on, there are also several fraudulent ac- tivities. The ODOJ would en- courage anyone who questions the validity of a solicitation to ask questions and then inquire with the ODOJ or local law en- forcement before contributing or giving out any personal infor- mation. Oregon law requires all fundraisers to register with ODOJ and provide scripts and contracts validating their au- thorization to solicit for a non- profit organization. If you are contacted and question the va- lidity of a fundraiser or would like to complain, try to obtain the following information: name of organization/fundraiser, con- tact information, caller i.d. infor- mation for the call, statements of the solicitor, where they want donations sent, etc. To make a complaint or for more informa- tion on solicitations you can call the ODOJ Charitable Activities Section at 971-673-1880, or online at www.doj.state.or.us and submit a complaint.
