Creswell Middle School - Kids Fun Run - Eugene Marathon 2010

While on assignment shooting the 5K and Kids Fun Run, both part of the Eugene Marathon weekend May 1st & 2nd 2010, I noticed a patch of kids all wearing bright yellow shirts. It wasn't until the race announcer called them out that I knew who they were. It turned out that these kids were students from Creswell Middle School.

I have a daughter attending Creswell Middle School but, never heard anything about students from Creswell Middle School participating in the race. So I was surprised to learn about this group just minutes before the race started. I wish I had the opportunity to captured more of this fun group but, what I did capture I put together in this roughly assembled video. Congratulations to the students of Creswell Middle School for a race well run!

In this video Principal Shirley Burrus and educator Lauri Thomas share a little insight about what brought these kids together and why they decided to run the Kids Fun Run in Eugene Oregon.

Earth Day in Creswell Oregon

I want to make this very clear that I did NOT make this video. This video was produced by Rick Dancer Media Services. It's about Creswell's Earth Day festivities on April 22nd 2010 and I thought it was appropriate for the Creswell TV blog. However I did not receive permission to repost it so I may be asked to take it down.

"Creswell School District and the City are ahead of their time. They understand that the environment is important. Recently the city built a pavilion at Garden Lake Park. The idea is to create an outdoor classroom. On Earth Day students and the community got to experience how it works." Youtube video description, Rick Dancer.

Nominate Creswell for Google's ultra high-speed fiber optic internet

"We're planning to build experimental ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States to make the Internet better and faster. Check out this short video to learn more, or visit http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi" - Google

You may not be aware but, the City of Creswell in Oregon had fiber optic cable laid down Oregon Avenue in 1999. For over ten years Creswell has had unused and unutilized glass fiber for the purpose of ultra high-speed internet. I for one would like to see that fiber turned on. I personally make my living via the internet. I would greatly benefit from ultra fast and reliable high speed internet at fair rates and break free from the phone company monopoly that we are all currently in. I admonish every resident of Creswell to Nominate the City of Creswell to be a candidate for Google's ultra high-speed fiber optic internet experiment. You can nominate the City of Creswell at this web address (URL) http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi. The deadline for nominations is March 26th, 2010.

"Creswell is a member of Fibersouth and fiber optic cable was installed in fall 1999."

"The Fiber South Consortium is the largest of the fiber consortia formed as the local governments of the area of western central Oregon began developing a plan for fiber access to rural communities. The Fiber South Consortium membership includes Coos, Lane and Lincoln Counties and the cities of Springfield, Creswell, Cottage Grove, Drain, Yoncalla, Sutherlin, Roseburg, Coos Bay, Bandon, North Bend, Reedsport, Florence, Veneta, Eugene and Junction City. The Fiber South Consortium negotiated an agreement with Williams Communications."
