The northbound Gettings Creek Rest Area along Interstate 5 about fourteen miles south of Eugene was closed Sunday evening while police checked a report of a suspicious object hidden in a tree. A Eugene Police Department hazardous device technician inspected the object which was determined to not be a destructive device but a Geocache container.
According to Oregon State Police Trooper Michael Berland, on April 28, 2013 at approximately 7pm, OSP responded to a reported suspicious ammo can hidden in the crook of a tree near the Gettings Creek Rest Area entrance along Interstate 5 near milepost 178. As a precaution, ODOT was notified and an Incident Response worker came to the scene and as-
sisted OSP with closing the rest area until the object could be further inspected. After arriving at the scene, a Eugene Police Department hazardous device technician inspected and confirmed it was not a destructive device. The ammo can was removed and the rest area opened about 8:00 p.m. Oregon State Police Arson & Ex-
plosives Section urges anyone involved in Geocache activity to use transparent containers and clearly label the container's exterior as a Geocache. If responding hazardous device technicians have any doubts about a suspicious container, they will take all necessary safety precautions including destroying the container to render it safe.

Mill City Goal Setting Session Well Attended Focus set on cleaning up the town
Every few years the City of Mill City hosts a goal setting session that is open to the citizens to contribute their ideas and insight. In essence it is an opportunity for the people to give the city council their “marching orders,” according to Anita Leach, the event facilitator. At the last goal setting session several years ago the top priority listed was to build a new city hall. That goal was obviously successfully met as the packed crowd of diverse citizens was meeting Tuesday night in that very building. Leach divided the attendees into four small groups, each to focus on the challenges and opportunities the city faces. Then the groups examined what they would like the council to prioritize on their “to-do” list, and everyone voted Improving the aesthetics of the community was number one across the board, with extended discussion about the derelict buildings along Hwy 22. Building a skate park, creating a trail system between communities and improving existing parks also topped the lists. City hall will be compiling a list of the goals soon for publication. A concerned citizen sent the following letter to the meeting which was read aloud: “The city council had had several goal setting sessions over the years. In the past they have posted them on the wall of the council chambers, but never really accomplished very many of them. With the way the times are now the only goal that the city should have at this time is to clean this town up. If this one goal is accomplished a lot of the others will come by themselves. there are not really any family wage jobs that are being created in our area. This is needed

to get good people to move here and live here. The local mills and school district are some of our larger employers, but they do not have a large turn over so jobs are limited. the city is limited to a certain point on job creation, but there should be a better effort to try. the cleaning up of our community is something that the council can and should be doing. Our community has the largest crime rate in the area, we have numerous burnt and abandoned buildings in town. there are a lot of neighborhoods or houses in neighborhoods that are in disrepair. Highway 22 looks terrible, businesses closed down, windows boarded up, paint falling off buildings, weeds 4 feet tall, the list goes on and on. we have numerous families living on once piece of property, living in garages, outbuildings and such. You can tell this by having numerous cars parked in driveways, on the street and even in the yards. We have lots with tall grass/weeds that the city deals with every year, and everyone can see it. This may happen once in a while, but should not happen every year at the same properties. Our ordinances need to be enforceable, and then enforced, not drug out for months or years. Repeat offenders in the same year, or year to year, need to be dealt with so that this does not happen over and over again. Drug issue are another problem in our community. Rumor is, down the
canyon that if you want to buy drugs you should go to Mill City. There are some of the reasons we cannot get good working folks to move here. There used to be at least 5 local law enforcement officers that lived in our community, they don’t any more. I have been told by most of them that the city has gone downhill so bad that they do not want to live here. People want to live in a clean, neat, safe community, and right now that is not Mill City. The city council are the only ones that can make this a better place to live, you have the tools to do it. Don’t wait for a citizen to come in and file a formal complaint, the city staff and council members see the same issues every time they drive through town. Pass enforceable ordinances and enforce them. Enforce them not only on the renter but the landlord has to be held accountable also. Give your ordinances to the Sheriff’s office, have them enforce them. Make this a top priority. The only goal that the city should have right now is to clean this town up.” Leland Orht
