PAGE 4 -- THE DAYTON TRIBUNE, DAYTON1 OR 97114 --- THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2005 Federal administrator Dayton area resident Wu visits water plant Dayton and Lafayette city officials and staff met with Congressman David Wu during his visit last Wednesday to see the water treatment plant which was a joint project between Dayton and Lafayette. Some of the funding for the project came from federal sources. The project was fi- nally completed last year after nearly 10 years in the courts with suits brought by area farmers seeking to block the drilling of wells in the country for water usage by city residents. Pictured are Dayton Mayor Jackie Brons, Lafayette Mayor Don Leard, Congressman Wu, Dayton city admin- istrator Sue Hollis and Dayton public works staff. visits Dayton Coalition Ivette Ruiz, SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) administrator, met with the Dayton Together for a Drug Free Community Coali- tion Wednesday, Aug. 15 for an overview of the site visit process. Purpose of the oversite is to assess the Coali- tions' projects, proposals, structure of coalition, evalua- tion of data and financial management and personnel re- quirements. Federal funding was from the Department of Justice and now is under SAMSHA. The Dayton Coalition was granted $I00,000 for the first year with matching funds required. The second year's application will be made in a few weeks to continue the programs which are geared to- ward providing information and education about the dan- gers of taking drugs and providing safe and beneficial al- ternate activities for young people. Some of the local funding has gone toward providing a resource officer at the Dayton schools, and holding cooking and sewing classes, as well as providing movies each week in the park and holding an open gym at the Dayton High School every afternoon for young people. Education about the dangers of drug usage is one of the primary purposes of the Coalition with the use of bro- chures, movies, forums, surveys, and special events to provide information to the entire community about ways to detect and prevent young people from experimenting with drug usage. The next meeting of the Dayton Together Coalition will be September 12 at 9 am in the Dayton Fire Hall. All interested persons are invited to attend. Jaime Turley, lo- cal project coordinator, may be reached at the Dayton High School. Corn feast to be a grand time in Dayton for 125th by "Jo" Windish Sept. 10, a Saturday, the Dayton City Council's An- has unique art at fair Prior to art shows, artists might be packaging delicate artwork into boxes and loading it into their vans, while others are carefully wrapping up their paintings and pho- tographs to embark on another day of selling or display- ing. One woman was doing the same more than ten years ago, but now she's renting forklifts to load her enormous iron sculptures onto a trailer. You might catch artist Dixie Jewett, a Dayton area resident, at home with her forge and hammer. She's been creating gigantic, one-of-a-kind iron statues for more than l0 years, and they've towered high at art shows and other events including the Oregon State Fair. "It wasn't easy getting started," says Dixie. She started sculpting as a second career while piloting her seaplane in Alaska for about 14 years. After trying her hand at painting, bronzing and raku pottery, she turned it all over to a forge and plasma-cutter. "I thought it looked interesting. Once I started welding, I said this is it," she says. Dixie has debuted her artwork at the Oregon State Fair for nearly seven years. One year she brought a 3-ton, 14' tall sculpture of a woolly mammoth and this year she plans to bring an enormous statue of a large chair, covered with metal cats with an old woman holding a book, looking to sit and read. Unfortunately, she can't sit for all the cats, hence the name of the statue, "Too Many Cats." The sculpture will be near the Oregon Authors Table in the Jackman-Long Building. "I'm a reader and I like to look for a chair," she said. "Animals are pretty funny really." She also plans to bring a sculpture of Peaches the workhorse, a 16-hand.horse that will be placed in the State Fair's Les Schwab Tires Fam- ilyviUe. Dixie's work can be enjoyed for her sixth year at the Oregon State Fair from August 26-Sept. 5 in Salem.
