of the 12th Street and Douglas Street homeless camps. During the transition, the adjacent Lulu Dog Park at 12th Street has been used as a homeless camp site with hours from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily.

Despite afternoon temperatures in the mid-80s, thousands showed up to sit in the hot sun to witness the graduates participate in a beloved graduation day tradition of walking through “the tunnel” saying their final goodbyes to their teachers with hugs and high fives.

“None of us have ever managed a homeless camp before, so we knew that date was a bit aspirational,” Sauerwein said. “We are hoping that this week we will be able to make the transition. Our goal was to provide folks with a safe and secure place to spend the night and that’s what we are doing.”

Principal Chris Wells welcomed the crowd and noted the significant achievements of this year’s graduating class, which had five valedictorians and one salutatorian.

The class received a total of $200,000 in local scholarships to attend trade schools, community colleges and universities.

Sauerwein said city staff was cleaning up the Lulu Dog Park to reestablish it as a dog park. Specific costs of that cleanup and establishing the smaller homeless camp at 12th Street were not immediately available.

Academically, he praised the class for graduating with 116 advanced placement college credits worth $70,000 in tuition fees. He noted some of the graduates earned enough credits to begin their sophomore year in college this fall.

Wells said 50-percent of the 2025 grads were career/technical education completers. Many participated in internships in high demand fields such as construction, engineering, fabrication, cybersecurity, medical, culinary, media and teaching.

“The same rules will apply,” Sauwrwein said. “The camp will be available from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and the rules will be enforced through our contracting company, One Security of Eugene to help us during this transition period. They are a very experienced homeless camp management company.”

Athletically, the Class of 2025 outperformed many of the school’s recent graduating classes. Eight graduates being three sport athletes all four years of high school, which Wells said was no easy feat. He recognized Carter Bengston for being a four-sport athlete for all four years, and broke school, district and state records in track.

“I saw our brothers and sisters struggle from the devastation that they saw, so I went back and got my degree and became a licensed counselor,” he said. “We started tracking EMS and firefighter suicides across America.”

The City of Cottage Grove has opened the Bohemia Park Splash Pad at 10th and Main Street.

The splash pad will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on days when the temperature reaches 70 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, according to a release from the city.

The water feature is designed to offer a safe, family-friendly, cooling down spot for residents and visitors.

The splash pad is part of the new Bohemia Park entry plaza. A date for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the park’s entry plaza opening is pending.

Cottage Grove’s Bohemia Park is a 14 8-acre park owned by the Bohemia Foundation and is maintained through a cooperative agreement with the City of Cottage Grove.

Behavioral Impact

The original design was created by Carol Mayer Reed at Mayer Reed in Portland and David Dougherty at DLA Design created the Entry Plaza Design.

According to Dill, firefighters often don’t recognize the behavioral impact of their work.

“We become cultural brainwashed,” Dill said. “Whether it’s structural or wildland fires. So, we are meant to believe we are supposed to act strong, brave, be help, don’t ask for help, and we don’t want to look weak and not ask for help.”

Dill added that while firefighters are on the front lines battling the wildfires, one of the biggest challenges they face is the unknown.

“We added a splash pad, swing set, and Historic Water Tower to the original design,” City of Cottage Grove Public Works and Development Director Faye Stewart told The Sentinel in a published update in January of this year, adding that the stone pillars at the plaza represent the historical themes that built Cottage Grove: Railroad, Farming, Mining, Timber/ Lumber, Recreation, and Native American History.

A restroom has also been built at the site.

“The significance of the project is that it is creating new recreational opportunities for our youth, capturing the early history of our city and surrounding area, and it will encourage tourists to visit Bohemia Park,” Stewart said.

Grovers gather to remember Village Green Resort

“It’s how rapidly theses fires can move, and the unknown is where is it going to end? Where will this fire go to and how long will it last? And that is a struggle,” he said. “So, when you are fighting that fire, you’re trying to do your best to stop it, and yet the wind kicks up at 60 miles an hour and it drags it further and further behind them. That aspect of the unknown is very difficult in wildland fires. The firefighters have that stress and anxiety, and that struggle to protect is a very difficult challenge for the wildland firefighters.”

The council agreed by consensus to adopt a one-year (instead of a 90-day) window for three complaints to be made against a nuisance property before legal action can happen.

Decision pending on new nuisance ordinance

The Cottage Grove City Council is inching closer to crafting an ordinance to serve as a “tool of last resort” to address chronic nuisance problems on private property.

Their father traveled a lot and often brought its matchboxes home as keepsakes for his girls. The sisters were in their 20’s when they opened the Main Street bookstore and, to enhance their income, worked as waitresses at the resort.

“It was a wonderful place to work and, being new in town, it

City Attorney Carrie Conley updated the council on the behind the scenes work she has been conducting with city staff and the municipal judge, since March, when the council first began publicly discussing the issue and how the final ordinance will be written.

“My sister and I were budding feminists at the time and were quite shocked by the sexism practiced in the dining room,” she said. “The menu given to a woman had no prices on it and foot pillows were provided so ladies’ uncomfortable shoes could be removed while dining. It was a very different era.”

Nearly 50 people attended the Cottage Grove Historical Society’s “Farewell to the Village Green” at the Community Center, Saturday, Sept. 21. The internationally famous resort was created by Walter A. Woodard (W.A.) and his son, Carlton. Some members of the family attended and shared personal memories.

“Idea behind it is not a hammer to be used on every offender,” Conley stated during the council’s March 42 public session. “It is a tool in the tool belt to obtain voluntary compliance by working with a property owner. We are not going to use this against targeted properties. We’re going to try to get voluntary compliance. If this doesn’t work, we have a considerable record if it goes to court.” DEFINITION

The Lane County Board of Commissioners has unanimously appointed Carl Wilkerson as Lane County Sheriff.

Wilkerson will serve in his appointed capacity through 2026 and, if elected by voters in 2026, would begin a full four-year term in 2027

“I am both honored and humbled to continue to serve the sheriff’s office and our community in this new capacity,” Wilkerson said. “I am very proud of the men and women who make up the sheriff’s office. I appreciate how hard they work and their passion to serve the Lane County community. I want to thank the Sheriff’s Office staff, the community, and most importantly, my family in supporting me throughout my career.”

Wilkerson has served as Lane County Chief Deputy of the agency since 2019 but began his career with the

Lane County Sheriff’s Office more than 30 years ago as a cadet in the Explorer Post, a marine patrol boat aid, and as a reserve deputy sheriff before being hired as a deputy with the agency in 1996

Wilkerson was first assigned to the corrections division where he worked in the security section for more than three years. He transferred to the police services division in 2000, where he worked in the court security / inmate transport section until he completed the basic police academy and was ultimately transferred to the main office patrol section.

Wilkerson worked main office patrol for a short time and was then transferred to the traffic safety team where he primarily focused on DUII Enforcement. While assigned to the traffic safety team, he became a drug recognition expert for investigating drug impaired drivers and was assigned to the joint Lane County Sheriff’s Office/Eugene Police Department Metro SWAT

Team. Wilkerson also served as a field training officer.

In 2004 he was assigned to Creswell under the contract the city holds with the sheriff’s office, and worked there until he transferred to the criminal investigations section in 2005 as a detective where he would serve until his promotion to sergeant in 2013

Award winning pianist to perform world class concert

to the United States, when one of his traveling companions persuaded him to audition for a professor at the University of Oregon School of Music. The professor was so impressed with Andreev’s talent he thought it was a good possibility he could receive a full scholarship to pursue a Master’s degree in Piano Performance.

Andreev passed on the opportunity and returned home to his family in Saratov, Russia. In 2015, he had a change of heart and accepted the UO’s scholarship offer and graduated in the Winter of 2017 with his Master’s degree.

Local residents Steve and Vera Kilston enjoy hosting home concerts featuring classical music. An owner of a vineyard, who donates wine to the house concerts, suggested they invite the UO student to perform at one of their upcoming concerts. That concert forged the foundation for a lifelong friendship.

PURSUING THE AMERICAN DREAM

Several years later, in 2022, the award-winning pianist decided to return to the U.S. to further explore opportunities to build his music career here in the states. He reached out to the Kilstons for support and they happily offered him their spare bedroom -- and their grand piano -for two-and-a-half years to help him pursue his fledgling American dream as a classical pianist, composer and conductor.

“I liked being with them,” Andreev said.

“Steve is very interesting to talk to and discuss the arts. We played together often, with me on the piano and him playing his violin. In the years I lived with them, I fell in love with Cottage Grove. I was impressed and blessed by this community that is filled with so many

kind, supportive and very friendly people.”

Unable to find enough music-related jobs in Cottage Grove or Eugene, Andreev moved to Portland last year seeking more opportunities to give concerts and teach piano to private students. He provides private lessons to anyone who wants to learn to play the piano. He offers both in-person and online lessons via Zoom or Skype. He also visits Eugene once or twice a month for inperson sessions.

Steve said he and his wife were happy to support Andreev in his American pursuits and truly enjoyed his company.

“Andrei lived with us, teaching and practicing, and giving some recitals, while also helping out a lot, doing some of the grounds keeping and cooking,” Kilston said. “We love music and he introduced us to many new compositions -- and we especially loved his borscht.”

Larry and Kathy Bottemiller, the Kilstons’ nearby neighbors, first learned about the visiting pianist in a 2022 feature story in The Sentinel. They also hosted some house concerts so their friends could experience Andeev’s impressive talent.

Kathy said, “We have been deeply touched to experience for ourselves, and to witness with others, the powerful emotional effect of music from his heart and hands.”

CHILDHOOD PRODIGY

Andreev was born in Kok-Jangak, a small town in Kyrgyzstan. He started school at age seven and began learning piano when he was 10. His interest in the instrument began when he saw a family friend’s daughter playing the piano. Although he couldn’t read music, he copied her and soon everyone realized he had a gift to play music by ear.

“When the family moved away they gave us their piano,” he recalled. “That’s when my mom enrolled me in music school—and that’s how my journey with piano really began.”

At 15, Andreev moved with his family to Saratov, Russia. There he completed his undergraduate degree at Saratov Regional College of Arts, and studied at the Sobinov Saratov State Conservatory, where he obtained his Master of Music Degree in 2007

In Europe, he performed in Strasbourg’s churches. After completing his studies, he performed for four years with the Saratov

Philharmonic Orchestra as the principal keyboardist. In addition to his performance career, he also taught piano at the Saratov State Conservatory for two years.

During his studies, Andreev began touring and performing in orchestras in Russia, Europe, and the USA. He has won several international and more than 10 Russian piano competition awards.

JUNE 20 CONCERT

Steve describes his friend as “a world-class phenomenal pianist, with both incredible technical skill and the ability to communicate intense emotions and beauties in the sounds he creates”.

“The opportunity to hear him right in our own town is a gift we all should feel grateful for,” he added. “By performing here, Andrei would like to show us his appreciation for all the Cottage Grove residents who encouraged and supported his dreams.”

For a preview of Andrei Andreev’s talent, type his name in the YouTube. com search bar and hear more than 120 of his piano performances.

Andreev’s upcoming Friday, June 20 concert begins at 7 p.m. at Riverside Community Church of God, 1255 S. River Road in Cottage Grove. The suggested donation is $25 per person and no reservation is necessary.

To contact Andreev, call or text him at 458-2091068 or send an email to piano.lessons.andreev@ gmail.com.

April 4, 1939 - May 5, 2025

Janice (Rice) Winders, 86, of Cottage Grove, peacefully passed away on May 5, 2025, surrounded by loved ones after a long hard-fought battle with Parkinson’s disease. The second of three children, she was born on April 4, 1939 in Fort Collins, CO to the late Howard and Olive Rice.

She eventually pursued her passion and love of interior design and home decorating. She designed, decorated, furnished and staged award winning model homes in California and Utah. She also obtained her California real estate license. Janice received multiple awards and was featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine for her work in Utah. While living in Utah, she also owned and operated Mortenson’s Furniture store in the Salt Lake City area. She moved back to Oregon in 1999 to take care of her ailing parents.

Janice loved and adored her family and friends. She wholeheartedly treasured and

“Our agency is committed to being a good neighbor and holding people accountable for bad behavior,” Fleck said. “We welcome feedback from our neighbors and the city. We cannot and will not be treated unfairly, nor be held responsible for actions we have not given consent for or have knowledge of.”

The council agreed by consensus to adopt a oneyear (instead of a 90-day) window for three complaints to be made against a nuisance property before legal action can happen. Conley said she plans to bring a revised copy of the ordinance to an upcoming meeting for adoption.

FORMER HOSPITAL BUILDING

Why Pre-Plan?

Pre-Planning makes matters easier for those you love.

Pre-Planning allows you to provide guidance to your family after your death.

Pre-Planning allows you to control potential expenses of a funeral and disposition.

Pre-Planning provides an advanced opportunity to assemble life data.

Concerns were raised during public comment about the former hospital facility on Birch Avenue. It was noted there is a high risk of trespassers starting a fire inside the building or in the nuisance vegetation surrounding it that could spread quickly and threaten the homes on the hillside above it.

Public Works Director

Faye Stewart said the Development and the city’s planning department staff have sent written notification to the California resident who owns the property that it is in violation of the city’s nuisance vegetation ordinance. As of June 11, the staff was waiting for the owner to respond. If no action is taken, the city will bring the property into compliance and send the owner a bill that could become a lien on the property if not paid.

They agreed the strong smell creates a negative impression of the community to visitors and could deter potential investors from starting a business in town. Conley said marijuana is a legal substance in Oregon and it would be a tough (enforcement) action to defend.

“When the council implemented the code governing the management of that substance, there could have been some decision points that might have relieved that situation, like mandating air purifiers and other abatement options. Unfortunately, the council chose not to add those types of criteria at the time,” Stewart said,

He added that the code could be changed and applied to new applications received for indoor grows that would require scrubbing devices to control the odor. He said that would be reasonable,

TOWN HALL FEEDBACK

The city council’s Town Hall Subcommittee members, Greg Ervin, Dana Merryday and Jim Settelmeyer sought direction on how many additional town halls to have this year, following the city’s budget town hall meeting June 4. The members requested the staff input on how to conduct them in compliance with Oregon’s Open Meetings Law.

Duerst-Higgins said. “The Kennedy staff is amazing in how they meet each student where they are, instill in them a strong feeling of belonging that helps them find a pathway to success in life.”

In a poignant moment in both ceremonies, there was an empty chair that recognized significant people in each student’s life who were no longer alive to celebrate graduation day with them. A moment of silence honored them for the important role they played in encouraging the students during their 12-year-long educational journey.

NEWS & VIEWS

Bill enacting nation’s strictest limits on corporate health care influence signed by Gov. Kotek

SHAANTH NANGUNERI

Oregon Capital Chronicle

Corporate investors hoping to take over local health care facilities in Oregon could soon face one of the hardest markets nationwide.

Senate Bill 951, which was quietly signed into law by Gov. Tina Kotek on Monday, June 9, sets the strongest regulations on private and corporate control of medical practices in the nation, according to industry lawyers. A similar effort failed in the Legislature last year amid pushback from Republicans that prevented the bill from meeting key legislative deadlines.

The governor told reporters at a news conference Monday that the bill should be a model for other states and for Congress.

“We need to make sure that our health care providers and our delivery system stays local and is controlled locally,” she said. “That’s what that bill is trying to do.”

The legislation was opposed by companies such as Amazon and the statewide nonprofit Oregon Ambulatory Surgery Center Association, an industry group, where executives see private investment as vital to their business strategy.

“We universally agree that the way to protect clinics from closure and maintain the broadest patient access to outpatient care is to keep the existing, and multi-ownership models alive and well,” wrote Ryan Grimm on behalf of the association and the Portland Clinic, a private multispecialty medical group, in a March letter to lawmakers.

“In some communities, there is no hospital to swoop in to the rescue, or no hospital in a financial position to save a clinic,” he wrote.

The bill does not go into effect immediately and it contains a three-year adjustment period for clinics to comply with the restrictions. Institutions such as hospitals, tribal health facilities, behavioral health programs and crisis lines are exempted.

“We’re at an inflection point in this country when it comes to the corporatization of healthcare,” wrote House Majority Leader Ben Bowman, D-Tigard, in a statement May 28 following the bill’s passage in the Oregon House. “With the passage of this bill, every Oregonian will know that decisions in exam rooms are being made by doctors, not corporate executives.”

The signature from Kotek deals a major victory to local

providers and doctors, who sought to wrest back control over their practices in key decisions such as spending, staffing levels, physician ownership stake, and the price of services.

The legislation would close what supporters say is a loophole in state law, which mandates that doctors hold at least a 51% stake in most medical practices, but which companies have taken advantage of by employing their own doctors — sometimes from out of state — and putting them down on paper as clinic owners.

Then the company itself, or a hired management service, is brought in to handle payroll, accounting and other services, shifting away control and revenues from the clinic to the company, and from what was once a locally operated business.

The bill limits the control such companies can have in a clinic’s operations and would ban noncompete agreements used by companies to prohibit doctors from taking a job at a different practice.

Support for the bill coalesced around the takeover of the Eugene-based Oregon Medical Group by the health care giant Optum, one of the nation’s largest employers of physicians. The surrounding area lost dozens of doctors, leaving thousands of people without care after Optum required its doctors to sign non-compete contracts, according to reporting from KLCC. Optum reversed course after pressure from lawmakers in May 2024

“This bill is about preventing the kind of takeover that happened at the Oregon Medical Group in Eugene,” wrote state Rep. Lisa Fragala, D-Eugene, in a May statement. “When we see consolidation in the healthcare market, we see three things happen: higher prices, negative effects on the quality of care and decreased access to care.”

Senior care needs Medicaid

SARAH SILVA Oregon Capital Chronicle

Caring for Oregon’s seniors has been my life’s work. It began when I was a high school student in Hillsboro, and it continues today in my role leading Arete Living, an Oregon-based company that provides assisted living and memory care facilities.

Our caregivers and staff provide essential care to hundreds of seniors and people with disabilities every day in all corners of the state. We meet people where they are, and we provide the care they need to sustain their independence and quality of life. The work is hard, but it is also incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.

The last five years in senior care have been challenging to say the least. We faced a global pandemic and worked tirelessly to keep our residents safe and supported. And yet, with the pandemic behind us, I can say that I have never been more worried about the future of long term care in Oregon.

At the federal level, discussions around cutting Medicaid are rampant and incredibly worrisome. At the state level, difficult decisions are being made about what programs to fund and what programs to cut.

I am deeply concerned about what cuts to healthcare, or flat investments, will mean for our seniors as more Baby Boomers age into the years of their life when they need care, whether it is in an assisted living facility or in their own home. The increasing number of aging Oregonians who have more complex care needs than past generations, along with recordhigh inflation in medical supplies, food services, labor, and other critical health care components,

PACE, the Program of

55, and they are a growing alternative to

physical therapist Brad

ity issues at a PACE center

means that the cost to provide care in Oregon is higher than it has ever been.

These issues are felt more deeply in our rural and frontier communities where fewer caregivers are available and health care deserts already exist. Older Oregonians who have spent their lives in these communities should not have to move away from family and friends simply to find care. But Oregon is seeing assisted living and memory care facilities close their doors amid the combined pressures of more regulation, higher costs, and an underfunded Medicaid system.

I know that lawmakers have hard choices to

make, and I do not envy their positions. But I urge them to think about the seniors in their districts who have worked hard and contributed to Oregon’s beauty and success.

They deserve a long term care system that is well-funded and thriving. That will only happen when lawmakers step up and invest in Medicaid for our most vulnerable seniors, the same individuals we serve every day at Arete facilities and in others around the state. They are counting on us.

Sarah Silva is the president and co-founder of Arete Living, an Oregon-based company that operates assisted living and memory

care facilities. She is also vice-chair of the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) Board of Directors. https://oregoncapitalchronicle. com/2025/06/04/seniorcare-already-challengedby-pandemic-andboomers-aging-needsmedicaid/ Oregon Capital Chronicle is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move­out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH­TOMONTH OR WEEK­TO­WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: Is the result of an arm’s­length transaction; Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale.
