Dunes City Council now down three

BY TONY REED SIUSLAW NEWS Following the surprise resignation by Dunes City Mayor Sheldon Meyer, two more city council

members have resigned, leaving three councilors and an acting mayor. City Administrator Jamie Mills said Monday that Rory Hammond and Robert Orr have also resigned,

citing family illness and personal conflicts, respectively.

Meyer resigned at the close of the Aug. 9 City Council meeting, saying “I think that you deserve

better. I’m not sure I’ve been that attentive or on top of things, for numerous reasons. Officially, I’m resigning as of right now.”

Councilors thanked

him for his service, which includes being mayor five times.

Council President Susan Snow has been serving as interim mayor since.

Councilors Melissa Stin-

son, Tom Mallen and Rich Olsen now make up the council.

Mills said the selection of a new mayor is on the agenda for the Oct. 18 meeting.

Haunted lighthouse to open for tours this month School board approves charter application

BY RODNEY HARWOOD COUNTRY MEDIA

BY TONY REED SIUSLAW NEWS Following a 90-minute question and answer discussion Oct. 11, the Siuslaw School Board voted to accept an application from Whitmore Classical Academy to continue working toward opening a public charter school in Florence.

Superintendent Andrew Grzeskowiak said the application is complete but some items need refinement. Board Chair Brian Lacouture said he met with Grzeskowiak and Vice Chair Maureen Miltenberger to discuss certain items.

Charter representatives first applied in March 2023 and submitted a revised application Oct. 5.

Representative Aric Sneddon said a charter school is a “school of choice” and that parents can use it to opt out of public schools. Sneddon said the application has recently changed to serve K-8 students, instead of the previous K-12 application.

“With the addition of the Whitmore Classical Academy, students will demonstrate a passion for learning and will be prepared to succeed in challenging academic pursuits,” the application begins. “As a result of their enriching experiences in languages, mathematics, science, history, Great Books, Latin, logic and fine arts, our academy will strive to produce well informed citizens who advance their knowledge and skills in an ever-changing world.”

According to the application, nine goals of the SSD policy were addressed in the application.

Miltenberger asked about potential impacts on the district, such as loss of teachers. Grzeskowiak said he couldn’t answer yet, since any teach-

er can apply for another job and that the charter may hire outside the district or public school system. He said at least 51 percent of staff have to be certified as instructors.

“In terms of students, I don’t know that either,” Grzeskowiak said. “This is also another choice to option out… From their original survey of interest, I think they had more interest from people who were already involved in home school programs and not necessarily from within a public school.”

Sneddon agreed, saying much interest comes from parents whose kids haven’t yet reached a grade level.

“They will be by the time we open,” Sneddon said.

Director Tamara Cole asked what benefits the charter would bring.

“One of the biggest benefits we see is retention and major employers being able to attract individuals for jobs,” Sneddon replied. “We see there are a lot of physicians, a lot of nurses, a lot of physical therapist who apply or interview with the medical system here that ultimately choose another community because of more choices.”

He said that while many love the area and want to stay, some medical personnel will choose other areas in favor of educational options for their kids. Sneddon said another benefit is simply having another option for parents.

When Director Dianna Pimlott asked if the charter proposal has been shared with the Oregon Department of Education, Sneddon said yes, adding that the department’s liaison has been working with them on the application.

BY BREE LAUGHLIN COUNTRY MEDIA The Florence Regional Arts Alliance is hosting a free community celebration with food, music and prizes on Wednesday, Nov. 8, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince Street.

During the celebration, the arts alliance will reveal data from more than 1,000 surveys completed through regional arts and culture organizations.

This data will show the dollar amounts spent on local restaurants, hotels, shops, etc. every time an arts or cultural event happens in the greater Florence area.

“This research is part of the national Arts and Economic Prosperity Study, led locally by a steering committee of area residents over the past eighteen months,” said Harlen Springer,

Although Rue left the Heceta Head Cottage after her daughter died, it is said that she came back after her own death to look for her daughter.

One of the most frightening encounters with Rue was reported by the Siuslaw News in 1975.

According to the tale, a workman was cleaning one of the windows in the attic when he noticed an odd reflection in the glass.

When he turned to see what was behind him, he saw the apparition of an elderly woman wearing a late-Victorian style gown.

The Florence Regional Arts Alliance members said they are grateful for the more than 1,000 people who completed the surveys, which asked

about their spending while attending these events.

In addition, 15 local organizations completed an organizational survey detailing the resources they spend supporting arts and culture events.

The Florence Regional Arts Alliance steering committee said they are ready and excited to present the results of the surveys to the greater Florence community.

The surveys are part of the national “Arts and Economic Prosperity Study” which happens every five years across the country. It is sponsored by Americans for the Arts in Washington D.C. In Oregon. The study (AEP6) is supported by the Oregon Arts Commission and Travel Oregon, and locally by the Florence Regional Arts Alliance (FRAA).

“I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.” — Thomas Jefferson (1800)

LETTER (Editor’s Note: Submissions are always welcome as part of our goal to encourage community discussion and exchange of perspectives.)

PLEASE SLOW DOWN I live, as do many others on the banks of the Siuslaw River. We enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing and swimming on the river. We also enjoy relaxing on our docks with family and friends.

This all basically stops during salmon season.

It is salmon season again and we as homeowners along the Siuslaw River have to deal with unruly, rude and uncaring boaters.

They race up and down the river trying to catch their limit. We have nothing against them fishing or enjoying a day on the river, but they are basically allowed free reign to do as they please while homeowners have to deal with huge wakes that cause

damage to our docks and erode the embankment.

We cannot even enjoy sitting on our docks or taking our boats/kayaks out for a relaxing and leisurely ride for fear of being thrown about by speeding boats.

We have “No Wake” signs on our docks and have spoken to many boaters but most just don’t care. Since there is no speed limit on the river except in front of boat ramps or moorage for 6 or more boat the response, we get the most is, “I can do what I want.”

We have had bolts snapped in half on my boat lift, a neighbor had a piling snapped, another had their dock cleats ripped out of the dock while his boat was attached and just recently chains were broken that hold logs together to prevent debris from hitting docks. While repairing this, the owner tried to get boats to slow

down while he was standing on the logs. All he got was a hand gesture and a large wake.

I personally have been thrown onto my dock by boats going by at full throttle.

I have watched many boats which includes tour guides speed by slower boats at full speed causing severe rocking of other boats in their wake. On 9/17/23 I watched a boat zig zag between at least a dozen boats as he headed up river. A few years back we witnessed a canoe get capsized. I have also seen boaters heading up or down the river when it’s pitch black with nothing more than there running lights. Extremely dangerous and reckless.

When will enough be enough? Do we have to wait until someone gets hurt or dies?

Now let’s talk about the erosion to the river embankment and the damage to the wildlife habitat. Yes, the river erodes on a daily basis naturally but erodes substantially as large wakes slam into them causing mud and rockslides, trees to fall and the loss of the natural habitat

for otters, herons, egrets, seals and beavers just to name a few that make their home in or along the Siuslaw River.

It’s time to implement some changes so that EVERYONE can enjoy and be safe on the Siuslaw River all year long.

All we are asking is that when you go by a dock or another boat, slow down to No Wake speed. It’s not that difficult to do and it only adds a couple of minutes to your trip.

We get it...some of you make a living from fishing and running tours this time of year. We’re not asking you to stop. Just slow down. We also realize that salmon fishing season is good for the local economy.

Fish all you want, boat all you want, but please show some respect and consideration for those of us that live on the Siuslaw River and the natural beauty around it.

A special thank you to those boaters that do show respect and consideration.

There’s no escaping it.

Campaign ’24 is in full swing, and before long, your TV and computer screens will be dominated by commercials asking for your vote. That’s how politicians win elections these days. All that advertising is expensive, and a candidate better be prepared to shell out serious bucks if he’s serious about winning.

Nearly 268 years ago, a young candidate learned the hard way that going cheap doesn’t pay when seeking public office.

Long before he became the Father of Our Country, George Washington was burning with ambition. He had a lot going for him. Just 23, tall, strapping and handsome, he was fresh from service

in the French and Indian War, where he had made headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. Clearly, young George was going places.

In December 1755, he threw his tricorn hat into the ring and announced his candidacy for a seat in the House of Burgesses.

It was Colonial Virginia’s state legislature. As the New World’s first democratically elected legislative body, it was highly influential in shaping the way we Americans govern ourselves.

George figured his celebrity status would be enough to carry him to victory. And George figured wrong.

In Colonial times, voters had certain expectations of their political candidates. Office-seekers were unofficially required to spend Election Day warmly pumping every hand in sight and offering voters all the free alcohol they could drink.

George had a reserved personality. Glad-handing didn’t come easy to him.

Being a young man who wasn’t rolling in dough, he also scrimped on the free hootch, too.

It was a big mistake.

People resented not wetting their whistle at the candidate’s expense.

When the votes were counted, the man who would eventually be described as “first in the hearts of his countrymen” came in second.

It was a bitter blow. But you can say this much for Washington: He learned from his mistakes. Because, when the next election rolled around in 1758, George was ready to seriously party with voters.

This time, he dug deep into his pockets and let the booze flow like the Mississippi River at flood stage. He sprang for galSee HISTORY page 5A

CHARTER from page 1A ucation is today,” Sneddon said. “Classic education is a return to the way education was done for centuries. It focuses more on critical thinking skills, and teaching the student how to learn, instead of just teaching the student facts. If you teach a student how to learn, they become a student for the rest of their life.” Sneddon added that foreign languages will be taught at an earlier level, while the brain is most malleable to speech learning and helps with other subjects and occupations later in life.”

He said that while technology would be available to students for research, it would not be their instructional tool.

“You can teach students at different levels how to use Word or Google Slides or anything,” he said.

“Those are things that you can learn pretty quickly and keep but the actual ability to learn those skills fast comes through classical education.”

Director Josh Haberly asked if the proponents have the necessary support of school staff, students and community members to be sustainable

and successful.

Sneddon said he regularly encounters parents who are supportive and anxious for the school to start.

“It is very clear that this charter school is needed and wanted,” he said. “There are individuals who drive their kids to other communities to charter schools and we’re hoping we can keep those parents from having to drive… but we also hope to be a beneficiary of families in surrounding communities who want to bring their student to us.”

Sneddon said that while most charter schools start off slow, almost every established charter school in the state currently has a waiting list.

Sneddon noted that since the charter now proposes only K-8 education, there are electives at the public high school level which will allow them to learn about technology if they choose.

Director John Barnett said he’d like to see more about the proposed school budget and how the current numbers were derived. Sneddon said much information was used from similarly- sized charter schools.

Whitmore representative Chase Olson said the budget was “bare bones minimum” and while it will be extensive, it will must be vetted by SDS and the state long before opening.

When asked, Sneddon said one particular site is preferred, other options exist. He said it’s hoped by the fifth year of operation, the school will have found a permanent location or settled in the pro-

posed one.

What if you fail Lacouture said a nagging question for him has been what the charter plans to do if it opens, only to find later it’s not succeeding. Sneddon replied that it’s the goal to have sufficient communication so all goals are in place so “the probability of failure is as low as possible.”

“We’re not her to just see if we can put this together,” Sneddon said.

“This is a passion of everyone onboard and all of our subcommittees. We know there is a need, not just in our community, but everywhere, for alternative options for education. We also know that the elements of this curriculum are used in many schools in the state and are used across the country. They have a track record of success.” He said the curriculum is designed to allow students to rise to the challenge of a more rigorous program, so that parents don’t feel they’ve made the wrong choice.

School experiences After some discussion around the proposed budget, staffing and contract services, student requirements, Student representative Riley Olson said his almost 13 years in Siuslaw School District have been “very educational” and have provided many memorable experiences.

He asked Sneddon if the proposed charter would provide the same experiences and access to diverse programs. Sneddon replied that the school would have elective classes such as any others, such as field trips, music and

art, but with a more indepth focus.

“I think all of the needs you’d be looking for, if you were a parent, we would still be able to offer,” Sneddon said.

Asked how the charter school would handle social issues outside the class that may affect student learning, Sneddon said bullying would not be ignored.

“Our culture is that of respect,” he said. “Part of that respect is learning that not everyone looks like you, not everyone dresses like you, not everyone behaves like you, so that is all taught at a very young age.”

Asked how the charter would deal with a bullying teacher, Sneddon said it would be up to the administrator to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Sneddon asked that the board consider the application which has met all requirements, so “we can get to the negotiations phase where everybody sharpens their pencils and we get to the stage where things are really honed and fine-tuned.”

Following some procedural discussion, the Board voted 5 to 1, with director Katie Sneddon absent, to accept the application.

Miltenberger said her no vote was due to unanswered questions regarding religiosity within the proposed school. At the start of the discussion, Sneddon said the school would not be religious in nature.

According to the application, the proposed opening date is September 2025.

HISTORY from page 3A lons of rum, the Colonists’ very favorite drink. People were so crazy about it in the years before the Revolution; it’s estimated every man, woman and (incredible as this now sounds) even some children drank 3.7 gallons of the sweet spirit every year.

But George didn’t stop there. He provided a form of joy juice for almost every electoral taste. Rum punch, beer, wine, hard apple cider … if you could get sloshed on it, George had it. In all, a staggering 160 gallons of alcoholic drinks.

That was a half gallon

for each vote Washington received. Those thirsty Virginians drank every last drop, too.

And it worked. George finally found out what the winning side of election night felt like.

Washington served seven years in the House of Burgesses, and then … well, you know the rest of the story. Yet the lesson he learned the hard way was lost on another prominent Revolutionary-era candidate.

In 1777, 26-year-old James Madison also sought a seat in Virginia’s legislature. Although brilliant, “Little Jemmy” was also painfully shy with limited cash on hand. So there was little handshaking and even less hard stuff for voters. Madison bitterly attributed his defeat to a lack of “the corrupting influence of spirituous liquors and other

treats.”

Getting back to George, the career that culminated in pioneering the U.S. presidency was launched on a wave of free alcohol.

A parting note to any political candidates who may be reading this: What worked for Washington in 1758 won’t help your chances for victory in 2024. Bad things happen today to politicians who give drinks in exchange for votes. Save the spirituous fermenti for election night to either toast your win or drown your sorrow.

Book Review “Father and Son”

by Jonathan Raban In June 2011, just days before his sixty-ninth birthday, Jonathan Raban was sitting down to dinner with his daughter when he found he couldn’t move his knife to his plate. Later that night, at the hospital, doctors confirmed what all had suspected: that he had suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke, paralyzing the right side of his body. Once he became stable, Raban embarked on an extended stay at a rehabilitation center, where he became acquainted with, and struggled to accept, the limitations of his new body—learning again how to walk and climb stairs, attempting to bathe and dress himself, and rethinking how to write and even read.

Woven into these pages is an account of a second batTOURS from page 1A He fled the house and didn’t return for days, refusing to ever go into the attic again.

According to a PBS special on Legendary Lighthouses, nearly everyone who has stayed at the lighthouse since the 1950s has experienced some sort of paranormal activity.

The Heceta Head Lighthouse was named for the Spanish sailor Don Bruno Heceta, who discovered the location in 1755. It sits on a beautiful location on the coast just north of Florence and is said to be the most photographed lighthouse in the United States.

Construction of the lighthouse began in 1892.

The project completion was hampered and delayed by the cliff-top site since nothing could be done until the roads were built in order for the sup-

tle, one that his own father faced in the trenches during World War II. With intimate letters that his parents exchanged at the time, Raban places the budding love of two young people within the tumultuous landscape of the war’s various fronts, from the munition-strewn beaches of Dunkirk to the blood-soaked streets of Anzio. Moving between narratives, his and theirs, Raban artfully explores the human capacity to adapt to trauma, as well as the warmth, strength, and humor that persist despite it. The result is Father and Son, a powerful story of mourning, but also one of resilience.

Although the complete project was said to have taken about five years, the light itself was lit for the first time in March of

1894.

On the weekend before Halloween, guests will have the opportunity to decide for themselves if the tales from the sea are just old sailor’s legend or real.

We invite you to join us.

8A | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2023 | SIUSLAW NEWS OBITS from page 1A (wife Kate), Kylie (husband Kevin), Alexis (husband Ryle), Bryson, and Payton, as well as seven great grandchildren, Judge, Tana, Julian, Stella, Colby, Teagan, and Cameron.

Nels attended Oregon State University and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English.

He interviewed with the CIA before deciding on a career in education.

He attended the University of Oregon where he received his master’s degree in education and eventually in administration. Nels worked off and on in the mill to put himself through college joining his father and sons as three generations who spent time working in the timber industry.

Nels moved his family to Culver, OR in 1970 where he taught school for the first seven years before accepting a position as principal until 1987. During that time, he also coached football and track and field. ln 1987 the Culver School District board of directors “very reluctantly accepted his resignation” so that he could take a similar position at Philomath High School to be closer to his family.

He retired in 2002 after 32 years. He said at the time that he wasn’t sure teaching was his goal when he chose the profession, but he found education made for quick days and was shocked at how much he enjoyed the kids. In 1995 he received the city of Corvallis’ Martin Luther King Jr. award for his work with students developing an anti-harassment program and he won statewide awards for building programs

that focused on business and vocational skills.

Nels, or “Coach” as he was affectionately called by many of his student athletes in Culver, touched literally thousands of lives as a teacher, coach, and principal. During the ensuing years, many of his students stayed in touch and there are numerous stories of how he not only impacted their education but their entire lives. Many of his peers have reached out on his impact on their teaching careers with his practical advice, listening skills, and genuine concern for students.

He was very invested in his family and was never too busy to spend time reading or conversing with his grandchildren. He loved sports, coached his children in football and track and spent his later years going to his grandchil-

dren’s sporting events.

He spent his retirement doing what he loved most, cooking, gardening, attending plays at the Shakespeare Festival, and most of all reading.

He was an avid reader and read thousands of books over his lifetime, a love he passed on to each successive generation.

The photo used here was from his passport the summer prior to his senior year in high school when he toured Europe with the Boy Scouts. The picture is intended to give his past students an idea of how he looked himself as a student.

Nels requested to not have a service. ln lieu of flowers, the family has asked that anyone caring to remember Nels, please send a donation to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, OR.

Knights of Columbus donates hooded sweatshirts St. Mary’s Church Knights of Columbus members met with counselors recently at Siuslaw Middle School and brought a case of fleece lined hooded zipped sweatshirts in preparation for this coming winter. The sweatshirts were also supplied to the school last year at this time. On order are Coats for Kids for the Elementary School as well as Mapleton Schools. Contributed photo

Soccer teams wins, ties in two close games

Tide Table

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS SIUSLAW NEWS

Siuslaw River Entrance saltwatertides.com

The Siuslaw boys soccer team played two tight matches last week, finishing with one win and one tie in very close games.

The Vikings opened the week at Central Linn, and the Cobras came out ready. Siuslaw missed a couple of early changes, and Central Linn responded by attacking the Siuslaw goal. The Cobras did a good job with through passes, scoring two first-half goals to take a 2-0 lead at the break.

After the break, Siuslaw began to take control. For most of the second half, Siuslaw kept the pressure on the Central Linn defense. But before the Vikings began a comeback, Central Linn used a breakaway opportunity to increase its lead to 3-0.

About midway through the second half, the Siuslaw pressure finally paid off when Nicholas May took a free kick and dropped the ball top corner to cut the lead to 3-1.

“The goal energized the team, and the players intensified their efforts again,” Coach Londi Tomaro said.

“We placed several crosses and passes into the goal area but were not able to get strong shots off.”

May pulled the Vikings closer when he fired a shot toward the goal that just slipped by the keeper to cut the lead t0 3-2.

With less than two minutes to go, the Vikings earned a corner kick, and Tomaro sent every player except the goalie and one defender into the box.

In the chaos in the middle of penalty box, Camden Linton got off a shot that slipped into the net.

“Although we had hoped to win this game, we were happy to have battled back from a 0-3 deficit to walk away with a tie,” Tomaro said.

The Vikings came back two days later and hosted Santiam Christian in another tight match.

“We came into the game with intensity and played a solid game from the first whis-

tle,” Tomaro said. “Santiam Christian had a good press and fast forwards, and they scored the first goal.”

A breakaway attempt eight minutes into the game gave Santiam the early lead.

But the Vikings stayed focused, narrowly missing a goal when Eli Tattershall made a shot that the keeper made a great save on.

Just minutes later, Charles Nelson one touched a throwin to Derrick Vanduch, who dribbled into the penalty box and shot back across the goal to tie the game.

Later in the first half, the Vikings used teamwork to take the lead. Tattershall took control of a ball in the middle and passed it out to Nicholas May who passed the ball to Nelson.

Nelson dribbled toward the end line and crossed it in front of the goal. Tattershall made a jumping touch, putting the ball just past the keeper for a 2-1 lead.

With eight minutes left in the game, Nelson secured a ball at the edge of the penalty box

and fired a shot toward the goal. The ball hit the bottom of the crossbar and flew into the net for a 3-1 lead.

Santiam cut the lead to one with just minutes left, and had a breakaway opportunity in the final minute, but Siuslaw stopped the shot and escaped with the win.

“We could not have won this game without the fantastic performance of Terrance (Masterman) in the net and the stellar defense played by Kale (Jensen), Joel Bates, Camden (Linton), and Noah (Gonzalez),” Tomaro said. “They worked together tirelessly to shut down an aggressive and determined offense. Run after run, they won the ball, touched it out of reach of the attackers, or pressured the offense into making mistakes. This win rests as much with the back line as it does with the attacking players and goal scorers.”

Heading into the final week of the regular season, Siuslaw has a 7-3-1 record with a 4-21 record in the 3A-4 Mountain Valley Conference.

Mapleton volleyball closes season

BY RODNEY HARWOOD COUNTRY MEDIA The Mapleton Sailors wrapped up the volleyball season with a 1-2 showing in the final three matches.

The Sailors (6-18, 5-11 in 1A-3 Mountain West League) dropped a straight set match to Alsea (12-7, 12-3) on Senior Night (Oct. 12) and split

two non-league matches Oct. 14 at Central Christian High School to conclude the season.

Mapleton beat Gilchrist 3-2 in a match that went to a fifth and deciding set and lost to Central Christian 3-0.

Senior Night Junior Morgan Milbrett had eight aces, one kill, and three assists. Sophomore Averie Walker finished with a

team-high three kills and two aces, while senior Kylee Carson added one kill and one block in the 15-25, 18-25, and 23-25 loss to the Wolverines, who sit third in the league standings.

“We are really proud of our lone senior Kylee Carson and were so happy to celebrate her tonight along with the football seniors,” Mapleton coach

Molly Dooley said. “While our team might have come up short with a loss, we played so hard and have improved so much since the last time we played Alsea.

“I am so proud how the girls played and I’m so excited to see what the next season brings with so many expected returning players.”

HAVE FUN! BEACH SAFE!

Can You Make it out ALIVE?

BEWARE THE SNEAKER WAVE

They´re called sneaker waves because they appear without warning, often surging high up on the beach with deadly force, and are impossible to predict.

Sneaker waves also carry a large amount of sand that can saturate your clothes, weighing you down and making escape difficult if not impossible.

How to play it safe: Never turn your back on the ocean.

WATCH THOSE LOGS

The ocean is strong enough to pick up even the biggest log and plop it down on top of you. Some logs may look small, but even the tiny ones can be waterlogged and weigh tons.

How to play it safe: If you see a log in the surf or on wet sand, stay off it.

RIP CURRENTS

Rip currents are strong currents of water that rush out to sea. They are stronger than even the best swimmer. These currents can swiftly sweep unwary beachcombers and waders off their feet and out to sea. Rip currents may appear as dark, choppy water.

Any time you see debris and foam floating out to sea, chances are you have found a rip current. Avoid the area.

How to play it safe: Parents keep your kids close when playing in the ocean. If caught in a rip current, don’t panic . Swim parallel to the beach until you are out of the current, then head for the beach.

KNOW THE TIDES

Incoming tides isolate rocks from headlands and the shore. Avoid the temptation of strolling out to an interesting rock without knowing when the tide rolls back in. Free tide tables are readily available at state park offices, information centers and many shops and motels.

How to play it safe: Stay off rocks and small, enclosed beaches.

Know when the tide is coming in by visiting the tidetable website at the Hatfield Marine Science Center http://weather.hmsc.oregonstate.edu/weather/ tides/tides.html

HIGH WAVES CAN REACH YOU

Tides and waves can sweep over rocks, jetties and headlands, knocking you off and carrying you out to sea.

How to play it safe: Assume nothing is “high enough” and avoid exposed rocks, jetties and headlands during strong wave action (like during and after storms).

CROW will host its sixth Scare-C.R.O.W. Haunted Maze four nights in October at the Florence Events Center. Contributed photos Will you enter the dark and terrifying realm of Alura Botanica? Her gnarled branches will twist and contort your every fear into reality, right before your eyes. Once she has you in her firm and unforgiving grasp, she will never let you go.

Voted “Best Haunt in Oregon 2018” by Oregon Haunted Houses, CROW’s 6th ScareC.R.O.W. Haunted Maze, entitled “Twisted” will be held 4 nights- October 27th, 28th, and 30th, from 6-9 PM & October 31st from 5- 9 PM. A less scary “Family Hour” geared toward younger kids and big chickens will be held on Saturday, October 28th from 5-6 PM, with the maze transitioning back to very scary at 6 PM. Suggested minimum age for the regular maze is 8+, and entry is always at parents’ discretion, and at your own risk. This year, for the first time, the maze will be held at the Flor-

ence Events Center (715 Quince Street), allowing CROW to have double the space for quadruple the scares!

“This year’s maze is so freaky that it will twist your mind,” says CROW’s Artistic Director and maze co-designer, Melanie Heard. Heard says that the original maze concept about an evil tree luring victims to their demise was her own, but that she is excited to be co-designing with her good friend Brian Sandahl – a retired senior art director from Disneyland who was known as “The Pumpkin King” for his Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion overlay. “Brian and I work really well together and we have some incredible surprises up our sleeves,” said Heard. “We are definitely a deadly duo.”

According to Sandahl, “I’ve designed a lot of odd things in the past.... but Alura Botanica....this

Come take a look at our ever changing inventory!

TWISTED tree...is going to be one ghoulishly gory creation.” Sandahl continued, “I’ve been known for my nightmarish designs for a certain Haunted Mansion at Disneyland... and all that TWISTED experience is sure helping out as we put together the haunted maze......it’s guaranteed to have you screaming your head off!”

After a forced hiatus due to COVID, CROW is back with a vengeance, ready to terrify and entertain. The non-profit’s “Freak Show” (2019) and “Quarantine” (2018) mazes showed so much deadly appeal that over 1000 guests passed through, traveling from as far away as Astoria, Bandon, Eugene/Springfield, Brookings, Washington and California, and beyond.

“CROW is known for our exceptionally high quality production values for every project, including costumes, make-up, scenic design elements, props, lighting, sound, and acting components,” said Heard. “I’d also like to add that our Haunted Maze is a fundraiser for the entire CROW

non-profit program, and any funds directly benefit the entire youth arts program. This includes future dance classes, workshops, summer camps, mainstage musicals, scholarships, materials, and more.

Thank you to our sponsors who helped offset the $7000 in production costs for this event. You can view their names on our website. And to all of you out there…please come come to the maze and help make screams come true!”

Maze admission is $12 per person, per entry or $44 for a party of four (must be used same night).

Tickets are only sold at the door by cash or credit card. The maze is ADA accessible. There will be onsite food and drinks provided by The Florence Events Center.

BEWARE OF HIGH, STEEP CLIFFS

Assume that all cliff edges are unstable. Wet trails or soft sand and earth can make for unstable footing.

Rocks can be slippery even when it isn’t raining.

How to play it safe: Make sure you wear proper footwear, and stick to the trails. Stay behind guard fences and railings, and don´t get too close to the edge.

HEADS UP

Standing at the base of an Oceanside cliff can be dangerous, especially if it has an overhang. In some places, winter storms and high waves have eroded the shoreline, increasing the chance of collapse and slides.

How to play it safe: Beware of falling rocks, and don´t climb on bluffs and eroding hillsides. Don´t walk along the base of cliffs unless absolutely necessary.

State makes school boards ‘mandatory reporters’

Get Results...List With Melody.

District reports on playground, asbestos testing

BY TONY REED SIUSLAW NEWS Siuslaw School District directors are now legally obligated to report suspected child abuse. At the Oct. 11 board meeting, the board was informed as to its new responsibilities.

Mandatory reporters are required by law to report suspected abuse or neglect of children to police or the Oregon Department of Human Services. Abuses range from being sexual in nature to causing physical or mental injury or contributing to a child’s delinquency.

Negligence, threats providing alcohol or drugs, exposure to controlled substances and the sale of children legally constitute abuse and must be reported if suspected or observed. A child is defined as an unmarried person under age 18.

Oregon School Boards Association Attorney Spencer Lewis explained SB 414 was amended to include school board members as mandatory reporters. Attorneys, doctors, counselors, legislators, and some religious organization members are already mandatory reporters.

OSBA Attorney Jennifer Nancarrow explained that age of consent comes into play, since many students will reach age 18 before graduating. However, it remains illegal for any teacher, board member or school staff member, contractor or school volunteer to have a sexual relationship with any student before 90 days after their graduation date, regardless of legal age.

“Really, you should be reporting all suspected sexual conduct you are aware of, in terms of your students,’ Nancarrow said, “or any other minors.”

ORS419B.005(1) states that abuse does

not include reasonable discipline and applies to parents but not school personnel.

“Under no circumstance, should school personnel be disciplining a student physically,” Lewis said.

Board directors, along with all school staff, were instructed to report abuse when they have reasonable cause to believe it’s occurring.

“It doesn’t require that you know absolutely,” Lewis said, noting that it applies to any child they come in direct contact with.

“It’s not just contact with the child who may have been abused, but it’s contact with the person … that you have reasonable cause to believe abused the child,” Lewis said.

As for when a report needs to be filed, Lewis said, “you need to stop what you are doing and file that report.”

Directors were instructed to file reports including names, nature of abuse and evidence (when available) to Oregon DHS or law enforcement and document the reporting.

“You, as a board member, have the duty to report,” Nancarrow said, noting that failing to report my cause further abuse, new victims and a criminal conviction against the board member if it can be shown that abuse was known but not reported.

After showing some examples of suspected abuse that should be reported, the board work session closed with no questions.

Superintendent reports District Superintendent Andrew Grzeskowiak reported that staff has been looking to place a covered play structure at the elementary school for rainy days, since three physical education classes use the gym.

“Originally, when we first plotted this out about two years ago, we looked at placing this directly north of the gym,” he said. “In one of the meetings with the new board this year, there were some concerns about razing the old gazebo, so if we want to keep the old gazebo in place, that gives us three options.”

Grzeskowiak listed north of the gazebo, on the pavement south of the gym, and on the grass area west of the gym. He said in speaking with architects, the first option seems best. A “thumbs up vote” allowed Grzeskowiak to submit the plan to the city planning department. No estimated completion date was given.

Asbestos testing After listing district employee changes, Grzeskowiak provided an update on asbestos inspections, saying they showed no danger and that a couple ceiling tiles need to be replaced at one location. He said the middle school was exempted from requirements, due to its age, he said. Radon testing, also required every three years, showed below required levels at all sites.

According to test results authored by Environmental Inspection Services Pro LLC, inspectors did not destroy areas suspected to contain asbestos, and that asbestos containing materials may still exist behind walls, above ceilings or in inaccessible areas.

“If during demolition or renovation, additional suspect materials are discovered, these materials should be documented and treated as asbestos-containing, unless tested otherwise,” the report recommended. Inspected areas and materials were found to be of “low concern,” or moderate concern” in the dis-

trict office, Siuslaw High School, and Siuslaw Elementary School. Instructions were given that inspections continue every three years and that untested areas should not be disturbed without proper training.

As for the Middle School, the exemption letter reads, “Environmental Inspection Services Pro LLC, to the best of their knowledge, believes no [asbestos containing building material] was specified as a building material in any construction document for the entire Siuslaw Middle School building, or used as a building material in the 2001 vintage building.”

Public comment Under public comment, Jessie Chapman spoke of parental rights, saying a parent should be allowed to know if their child is having an abortion or gender changing See SCHOOL page 5B

“I believe that if any official member is addressing my child, I should have the right, as a parent, to be there, if I choose,” he said. “In today’s world, we need to know what our children are being told.”

Chapman claimed that in Nazi Germany took children from parents and took over the education system, which he said is “happening now, in front of us.” He stated that “Communists have taken over our public-school systems and they started with teaching sex education against the parents’ will, back in

the 60s.”

Chapman said printed materials were given to kids last month that should have been screened by the school board, because it was “left-wing, Marxist, global warming propaganda, in my opinion.”

Robert Orr, a counselor at Siuslaw High School who has been in the area his whole life, having served as a teacher, coach and the head of three separate schools, spoke of potential bond campaigns to replace or upgrade local facilities.

He said the last he remembered, all involved felt the high school needed major work and

the needs of the elementary school we almost as dire.

“Although our high school building looks fine to the casual observer, it is definitely, seriously lacking,” he said. “Classrooms are too small and some lack windows, the heating and cooling system is terrible, though students do have options; too hot upstairs or too cool downstairs, but the average isn’t bad.”

He cited hardly functional lifts and electrical system, along with a lack of cafeteria or auditorium, and an events center that is too far away to be practical. He said the area is overdue for a seismic event and suggested that the high school would not withstand even a moderate

quake.

“With 17 entrances to the main building, student safety remains a concern,” he said. “Upgrading our existing facilities offers many benefits to the broader community, such as attracting more medical professionals to the area, attracting new residents and thereby increasing our tax base.”

He said he would be happy to reconvene the Facilities Advisory Committee, which has been inactive, in order to assess needs and find money for improvements.

“What we need most is to use our limited resources as wisely as possible, in ways that benefit all the students of our district,” he said, to applause in the boardroom.
