Fall Safety Tips. Have working smoke detectors on every level of your home. Watch for leaves in the road, they can be slippery. Trim tree branches so they aren't close to telephone wires. Clear wood piles, dry leaves, and brush to prevent fire spread. Keep emergency supplies in the car. Get an annual fireplace inspection before use.

We are saddened by the passing of Jane Vincent, Creswell resident of over 40 years and a former member of the Creswell City Council. We are grateful for her and everything that she did to make the City of Creswell a wonderful place to live.

12 months ago, Creswell Admin

In Memory of Jane Vincent. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jane Vincent on September 22, 2024. Jane was a remarkable pillar of the Creswell community, whose dedication and passion helped shape the city into a wonderful place to live. As a tireless advocate for public service, she served as a Creswell City Councilor from 2010 to 2019, actively participating in Neighborhood Watch Programs and the Creswell Citizen Corps. Her commitment to education and heritage was evident in her work as a librarian at the Creswell Library, where she also played a pivotal role in writing the 501(c)(3) for the Creswell Library Foundation and served as the first Vice President of the Creswell Library Board. Jane's leadership extended to her role as President of the Creswell Historical Society and her volunteering at the Creswell Chamber of Commerce. She also dedicated her time to teaching Indigenous American children about their heritage and spent countless hours volunteering at the Creslane Library. Jane truly cared for Creswell’s local businesses and the well-being of its residents, leaving behind a lasting legacy of community spirit and service.

The Creswell City Council will be holding their monthly work session tonight at 6pm in Creswell City Hall. Members of the public are welcome to attend and the meeting will be live streamed on Facebook and YouTube.
