There is a great mix of residential, commercial and industrial. It’s one of the few communities where people can literally live in the city and work in the city and not be commuting from somewhere else,” Sauerwein said in a telephone interview from Washington state. “I grew up in Gresham. My wife grew up in the Salem area. I lived in Eugene at one point for almost 10 years. As a kid growing up, I spent a lot of time in Lane County, so there’s just a lot of positive things to say about Cottage Grove.” Sauerwein has served as the city administrator for the cities of Snoqualmie See CITY page 2A

The department had 15 members in attendance, plus three staff family members who came to help. Each played important roles to make for a fun morning. The participants were Chief Chase, Captain Marsh, six police officers, one reserve officer, two records and evidence coordinators, one

dispatcher, one Community Service Officer, one chaplain and one administrative assistant. South Lane School District staff stepped up and quickly recommended 12 students to participate this year. The students shopped for gifts for each family member they lived with. A few weeks ago, Chief Chase, Captain Marsh and Crow went on their own shopping spree to purchase and wrap gifts to ensure student

shoppers also had a surprise gift to open on Christmas morning. Walmart was the event sponsor. It provided the shopping money, wrapping supplies, refreshments, with Walmart associates handling the set-up and teardown that was staged in the customer service area. “We couldn’t have done this without Walmart,” Crow said. “We had many conversations with the staff about our ideas to make

next year an even bigger event.” Cottage Grove Police Chief Cory Chase, sporting a Santa hat, spent the morning mingling among his staff and their enthusiastic student shoppers. “I’m extremely pleased with how this event turned out,” Chase said. “The Cottage Grove Police Department and Walmart formed an excellent partnership to give back to the community that supports us.”

Senior consultant Bob Larson was the point man in GMP Consultants of Snoqualmie, Wash., national search, saying the search consisted of narrowing the field from 24 applicants to the five finalists that met with the Cottage Grove community. The process started on Sept. 11. GMP Consultants conducted an extensive national search to identify a group of five finalists with the leadership skills and

The candidates’ credentials showcase a great understanding of the complexities and challenges associated with municipal management. “The city council and mayor had a tough decision in coming up with their preferred choice,” Larson said. “I was there in executive session when the mayor and council narrowed down the decision when they went

But it’s great for the guest rooms so we’ll put in bathrooms and kitchenettes.” Construction started in October.

They did approve the grant. But they missed some deadline, so the next grant money will not be available until 2025,” Thomas explained. “My plans for 2024 are to finish the store façade restoration.

Staff/The Sentinel The Opal Center for Arts & Education has the watercolor work of Diana Bottini on display in its storefront.

Art patrons and art lovers alike will have one more chance to see the creative efforts of local and regional artists on Friday with the Cottage Grove Last Friday Artwalk, featuring displays at 11 different venues around town. The Opal Center for Arts & Education has the work of two artists on display in its storefront. There is the watercolor work of Diana Bottini and the acrylic painting of Rachel Kyle. “The Art Walk gives exposure to artists in our community along with art and music,” Arts & Education Executive Director & Coordinator Michele Rose said. “It showcases what we have and it’s a way for artists to get their name out there. It supports our community pride.” Rose is the owner of The

Crafty Mercantile, which is also one of the venues featuring art throughout the iconic downtown from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday. The creative window displays are a way to visit with friends and family, discover talented artists, sample treats and maybe even find that special treasure, she said. “We usually have buskers in the summer, who they play outside. But in the colder months we don’t have music involved,” Rose said. “Art Walk is sponsored by Downtown Cottage Grove. Our budget covers music from the spring through the fall, so there won’t be any music with the last Art Walk of the year.” The Huckleberries are set to play at the Cost Fork Brewing and Feed, so there will be a bit of music in the air for one Last Art Walk of 2-23.

OPINION

Oregon sees 7,300 job losses in November Staff Report Country Media, Inc.

Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment declined in November by 7,300 jobs, following a revised loss of 4,300 jobs in October, according to the Oregon Employment Department November numbers. November’s losses were largest in professional and business services (-2,900 jobs); construction (-1,700); leisure and hospitality (-1,500); financial activities (-1,300); and information (-1,000). The only industry growing

substantially in November was health care and social assistance, which added 2,400 jobs. Professional and business services expanded slower than overall employment over the past 12 months, adding 3,000 jobs, or 1.1%, compared with growth of 39,600 jobs, or 2.0%, for total nonfarm payroll employment. While most of the industry grew over this period, employment services trended downward, cutting 3,500 jobs, or 7.7%, since November 2022. Construction rose rapidly during most of the past two years. November’s

drop of 1,700 jobs was preceded by big gains totaling 5,700 jobs during January through October. Although leisure and hospitality gained 6,800 jobs, or 3.4%, in the past 12 months, the industry showed recent weakness by cutting 2,900 jobs between August and November. Government added 500 jobs in November and was up 10,200 jobs, or 3.4%, in the past 12 months. It has consistently expanded over the past three years. In November, local government reached a record high of 234,200 jobs, adding 6,900 jobs in the past 12 months.

Health care and social assistance grew the fastest of the major industries over the past 12 months, adding 17,900 jobs, or 6.5%. Gains during that time were led by social assistance and nursing and residential care facilities, which each grew by close to 8.5%. Oregon’s unemployment rate was 3.6% in both October and November. November was the seventh consecutive month in which Oregon’s unemployment rate was between 3.4% and 3.7%. The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.9% in October and 3.7% in November.

Stephen Stock 1940-2023

Stephen Stock (1940-2023) passed away at the age of 83 in Phoenix Arizona after a fall. Steve grew up in Kentfield, California. After graduating from Drake High School, Stephen attended the College of Marin and then the University of San Francisco where he earned a degree in business administration. In his early twenties, he served in the Coast Guard, and when the travel bug struck, he spent about a year backpacking and hitchhiking around Europe and the Middle East. Upon his return, he continued to live and work in the Bay Area, where he met his former wife, Leah Fatter. In his early thirties, they moved to Panama for two years, working as a civilian in the canal zone and where his only child, Julia, was born. The family had a pop-top Volkswagen van that enabled them to camp and explore the country on weekends and vacations. When they finished their time in the Panama, Steve and Leah decided to live in a rural setting. After surveying the Pacific Northwest, they bought an ex-commune outside of Cottage Grove and settled down. Rather than returning to a desk job, Steve went into the carpentry apprenticeship program so that he could work learn a trade and work with his hands. Steve left his heart at Wards Butte, where

he resided for almost half a century. There, he did carpentry, beekeeping, gardening, blacksmithing, stained glass, and much more. Early on, he planted thousands of fir trees with the goal that they would be sustainably harvested. He also planted fruit trees and chestnut trees, raised trout, hunted for mushrooms, and enjoyed the beauty of the natural environment. Steve was an openminded soul, welcoming others to share in the resources of what the land provided. There were great parties, like Reggae on the Creek. Always a dreamer, he had many plans for the property. In between, he took long backpacking trips in Central and South America and Southeast Asia to join his daughter or his friends, and he enjoyed many adventures. He also read lots of books. And he loved Cottage Grove, where there isn’t traffic and he could always find a parking space, unlike in bigger cities. In his later years, dementia became a problem. When Steve lost the ability to drive, he moved into assisted living in Cottage Grove, and finally he relocated to memory care in Arizona to be close to his daughter. A celebration in Steve’s honor will be held in Cottage Grove later in 2024. He is survived by his daughter (Julia), grandsons (Félix and Benicio), and siblings (Peter, Bruce, Claire, and Jan).

There is a new breath of So far this season life in the Cottage Grove through eight games, the Lions girls’ basketball Lions are averaging nearly program. 46 points a game while For a team with just four surrendering just under wins a year ago, the Lions 39 points per game. Also, have already won five in though it is early, Cottage just a few weeks into the Grove boasts one of the 2023-24 season with a best non-league records of 46-24 win over Douglas on any team in the Sky-Em to this point.

Getting to five wins so far has helped our moral surprised that the girls are doing so well. But it comes a little bit,” Lions coach Pete LeMay said. “Overall, down to the want and going out and taking some it’s been the commitment and hard work ethic of the of those wins. I like the grittiness of some of those girls.” There are some noticewins, going out earning it, able differences.

We’ve got to go out and earn those wins. They don’t come easily,” LeMay said. LeMay took over coaching the girls’ basketball program in late November 2022, leading to the team needing to play catchup in many different ways. But this year he’s been able to have a full fall schedule with the team. “We got all of our practices in that we didn’t get last year as a unit. I think that helped out most of all,” LeMay said. Two of Lions three losses have been against Henley, who is ranked No. 1 in the OSAA coaches’ poll and No. 6 Stayton. “As a coach I think

about those three losses a lot. They were against highly ranked teams that were tough games,” LeMay continued. “Overall, I love the improvements that I see from our girls and the things we are doing right. Credit to the coaching staff and to the girls for putting in a lot of work.” During the off-season, Cottage Grove made the decision to move team leader Mariah Bailey from being the primary ball handler and put Jaylee Lima at the point guard position, allowing Bailey to take on a greater scoring role. LeMay made note of a few other big difference makers for the Lions so far. “Makya [Alsup] going from being a freshman on JV last year to being

a sophomore on varsity and starting this year has been great for us. Her toughness, her ability to listen, and be coached. She is not as vocal as some of the other girls, but she just goes out there and plays.” “Payton Anlauf, defensively, has always been really good but this year she has really stepped up. I don’t know how many tips or deflections she has had but she almost has a hand on every ball and pass on defense,” LeMay said. “Summer Lebow in the Sisters and game against Stayton Summer really stepped up in the paint and took what was given to her defensively and scored for us. As a whole those are all great aspects of our team.”

The Lions will have to approach their early success with cautious optimism, as they went into winter break last season with a 3-4 record, but then lost their next 13 games and didn’t win a league game until February 10. “Finishing games strong is important to us, playing all four quarters. We played Henley, who is the number one team in the state for 4A. We talked about how they played hard all four quarters. They pressed you all four quarters, the defense doesn’t let down, so we talk about how we need to play like that all four quarters as a unit. Don’t let down, keep it going, keep the engine running,” LeMay concluded.

The practice of having voting members meet and elect the Board of Directors ceased long ago, and in recent decades the Board of Directors has elected its own Board members. This is by far the most common manner used by charitable, 501(c)(3) organizations like the Humane Society of Cottage Grove, to elect their Board of Directors. Now, our organization has hundreds of valuable and supportive members, but they are not “voting members” as that is legally defined by Oregon State law. The Humane Society of Cottage Grove has not had any voting members or held any meetings of voting members, in many years now. Accordingly, as a matter of good organizational house-keeping, the Board of Directors is going to vote to amend the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws to formally acknowledge that it is the Board of Directors itself who elects the Board’s members, and that there are no longer any voting members of the organization. Prior to the Board’s voting on that amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws, we are giving this 30 day notice that this vote will take place. Please let us know if you have any questions or objections. You can contact us at: humanesocietycg@ gmail.com and 541-942-3130.

Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Oregon Public Utility Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $25.48–$27.00 per month and business services are $37.00-$39.00 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request. CenturyLink participates in the Lifeline program, which makes residential telephone or qualifying broadband service more affordable to eligible lowincome individuals and families. Eligible customers may qualify for Lifeline discounts of $5.25/month for voice or bundled voice service or $9.25/month for qualifying broadband or broadband bundles. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or qualifying broadband service per household, which can be either a wireline or wireless service. Broadband speeds must be at least 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload to qualify. CenturyLink also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households with a discount on broadband service. The ACP provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.

With the year coming to an end and the New Year right around the corner, we at South Lane Wheels want to say thank you for supporting us, and we look forward to a fruitful new year. Happy New Year! Our office will be closed January 1st in observance of New Years Day.
