Search begins for Thomas’ replacement BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post
The Reedsport School Board voted to begin the search for a new, part-time superintendent and a fulltime Highland Elementary principal at a special board meeting Tuesday, April 8. The executive search will be aided by Michael Lasher with Northwest Leadership Associates. Lasher and Greg McKenzie of Window to Leadership LLC, made presentations to the board. The need for the replacements came after superintendent Jim Thomas submitted his resignation, effecBy Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post tive on June 30.

“I want to know how we are going to decide when to offer, or not, the position to Jim,” she asked. “It’s a matter of money. It’s a matter of Jim’s wife. We need to make (the decision) as soon as possible.” “A couple of things I want to put out there,” said board chairwoman Kerrie Palermo. “I will try to keep it simple with this because Jim resigned and I thought that it would be the clearest to be able to go forward with the search and look at the applicant pool and weigh Jim with the others.” Palermo said the timing was not advantageous for the district. “Because of Jim’s timing with his resignation,” she continued, “and I realize there were several factors in there for you to make that, Jim.

Volunteers get training in the Hinsdale Garden in 2013. Those volunteers, and new members, will be used as the garden opens for the public. It’s hoped there can be three “Open Days” this spring, including Mothers Day weekend and Memorial Day weekend.
Hinsdale open house scheduled for April 26 BY STEVE LINDSLEY Umpqua Post
The Coos Bay office of the Bureau of Land Management is gearing up to help staff the first open day at the Hinsdale Garden, east of Reedsport and possibly more. The first open day will be April 26, while other open days are expected Mothers Day and Memorial Day weekends. There is normally just one open day every year. The Friends of Reedsport’s Hinsdale Garden has been gathering volunteers and funds to have multiple events at the iconic garden. “Everything’s going great,” The BLM’s Michael Kelly said. “The BLM is really pleased that the friends group is moving forward to open the garden more days to the public.” Expect to see BLM staffers at the April 26 event. “We’ll have 10 to 12 BLM staff,” Kelly said. “We’ll pair up the friends, and also Douglas County CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) will be assisting. We’ll pair those folks up with BLM folks. We have about eight identified stations where we like to have people.”
The idea is to have the friends run the next two open days, May 10 and 24, with minimal BLM staff. “We’ll just have a couple of BLM people on site,” he said. “Basically, the friends, with the assistance of CERT, the city of Reedsport and Lewis Transportation will be helping ferry people over.” The friends have been talking with the city and the bus company to provide transportation from the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area parking lot to the garden, just up state Highway 38. They’re also hoping to run a couple of shuttles from Reedsport. “This first one we’re basically doing as a group effort and a training exercise,” Kelly said. “Then the friends will be running open days after that.” Kelly said there has been some work done to make the garden more handicapped accessible. “We purchased a product ... that’s called Fiberex,” Kelly said. “Basically, it’s cedar wood chips that have been processed into small chips. “They compact really well. We have over 1,500 feet of path laid down. This products

COOS BAY — After more than a decade of lousy catches, the Oregon salmon fleet may have finally hit its stride. Jeff Reeves, a commissioner with the Oregon Salmon Commission, said the 2014 salmon season is one of the best in memory.
The first commercial season for offshore salmon opened April 1, but its returns are already being seen at local canneries like Hallmark Fisheries in Charleston, where workers were busy packing fresh salmon in boxes Thursday afternoon. “The guys are getting record catches and great prices,” Reeves said, speaking by phone that
morning. “$10 a pound, down to $8.75 today — I’ve never gotten that much in my life.” The high price on the docks is also being felt at the market. At Chuck’s Seafood in Charleston, fresh salmon filets were going for $19.95 a pound, with steaks priced only $2 less.

Salmon catch exceeds expectations BY THOMAS MORIARTY
SCOTTSBURG — More than 150 elementary school children climbed into the forest land near Weatherly Creek, off state Highway 38 between Scottsburg and Elkton, to plant some trees. Actually it was more than 2,000 of them. The 69th annual Lower Umpqua Tree Plant returned, in a way, to the roots of the event. That is because the children were replanting an area that some of their grandparents may have planted back in 1956. Tim Truax, district forester for Roseburg Forest Products, says the area had been harvested after a 1951 fire. They just harvested those trees that were planted in 56, and the hope was that they would be
back with another generation of students in another 50-60 years to replant once again. The goal is to show the children that trees are a renewable product here, he said. The children arrived on the site by 9 a.m. April 8 and got right to work. Two of the young workers were from Highland Elementary School in Reedsport and their effort was indicative of the kind of effort all of the students were putting into the event. Within the first hour and a half, fifth-graders Ashley Espinoza and Ericka Carlton had already planted 26 trees on their own. Officials say their help was important, and timely. We’re kind of at the end of planting season, Truax said, as he

A 22-year-old Gold Beach man died Saturday morning near Scottsburg in a head-on collision with a truck carrying aerial spraying supplies. According to Oregon State Police, Joshua Dale Ray Carter was driving westbound on state Highway 38 when his pickup truck traveled over the double solid center lines and collided with an eastbound Ford F550. Troopers, along with Douglas County sheriff’s deputies, local fire personnel and the Oregon Department of Transportation, were either on scene or on their way
as of 7:25 a.m. Carter was pronounced dead at the scene. Mark Wall, forestry manager for Roseburg Forest Products’ land management division, Roseburg Resources Co., said the two occupants of the commercial truck were from Applebee contractors Aviation hired by the company to conduct aerial spraying of its timber lands.

LOCAL OBITUARIES Patrick Arthur Vaughan April 23, 1923 - March 25, 2014
Pat Vaughan, 90, of Reedsport, passed away March 25, 2014, of pneumonia. He was born to Adna Chaffee Shepperd and Hazel Oletha (Wainscott) Shepperd April 23, 1923, in San Diego, Calif. He enjoyed a long and adventurous life. A child of the Great Depression and a broken home, Pat as an adult took his stepfather, Russell Vaughan’s, last name. Prior to World War II he briefly fought forest fires Patrick Vaughan with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and sailed on at least one cruise with the San Diegobased tuna clipper Oceana. In December 1940 he enlisted in the U.S. Navy (since he was under 18 his mother had to “sign off”). Assigned to a Brooklyn class light cruiser, the USS Boise, he served on this warship throughout WWII in both the Pacific and the European theaters. He advanced from seaman to petty officer first class and turret captain of turret III, one the Boise’s five triple six-inch main armament mounts. He participated in and survived two major surface actions, numerous shore bombardments, and escort missions. The ship was nearly sunk in a night action off Guadalcanal, the October 1942 Battle of Cape Esperance. The badly damaged cruiser sailed all the way back to the Philadelphia Navy Yard for repairs which took several months and facilitated a wartime romance and eventual marriage to Pat’s first wife, Margaret Parlante of Moore St., Philadelphia. While that marriage ended in divorce, it produced two children — sons, Russell in 1947 and Michael in 1953. Delayed in Philadelphia for technical training, Pat rejoined his ship in Algiers, French North Africa, in time to support the September landings at Salerno, Italy. The Boise was also drafted into a British operation transporting British airborne troops to the Italian port of Taranto. The paratroopers were packed shoulder to shoulder “standing room only.” The cruiser entered the shattered port at first light, a frightening mission, as no one knew if the ships, vulnerable in the confined waters, would be fired upon. Returning to the Pacific, Pat advanced in the enlisted ranks while participating in many shore bombardments and a second major sea battle, the October 1944 Suirago Straits portion of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Pat related that his most fearful wartime experience occurred during the 1945 liberation of the Philippines
Lions Easter egg hunt The Gardiner-Reedsport Lions are again sponsoring an Easter Egg Hunt for local children. The first Lions Easter Egg Hunt was held in 1952, so this is the 62nd annual Easter Egg Hunt. The event will be on Sunday, April 20 at 1:30 p.m. at Barrone Park. More than 1,000 candyand treat-filled eggs will be hidden for the event. Twenty of the eggs will be special golden eggs. There will be separate hunts; one for the children 2 and under; one for children ages 5 and 6; one for children 6 and 7 and one for children 8, 9, and 10. For those children who do not wish to participate in the hunt, the Easter Bunny will be there to hand out candy. Parents this is great fun for the children and a wonderful photo opportunity!
with General MacArthur embarked on the Boise. Pat related that soon after the general’s arrival the ship went to general quarters, a well drilled action by that phase of the war. All crew members rushed to their battle positions, with a strict SOP on direction of movement on the tight deck spaces. Pat was running to his turret when General MacArthur stepped out of his cabin to see what all fuss was about and Pat barreled right into him. Spontaneously yelling to the intruder to watch where he going, and only then recognizing his august victim, Pat turned white and rushed away. The next several days he expected at any moment to be sent to the brig for assaulting the Supreme Commander of the Southwest Pacific Area. Married soon after V-J Day, Pat was back at sea as a tuna fisherman before the end of 1945. For the next 10 years he crewed on a series of tuna boats operating from San Diego, sailing among others on the Lucky Star, Queen Mary, Navigator, Ruthie B, and the Santa Anita, clippers owned primarily by members of San Diego’s PortugueseAmerican community. These were “bait boats,” in which two to four men caught tuna with their poles threaded to a common line. It was adventurous, physical, and dangerous work of a type that has now largely disappeared. Tuna fishing involved weeks away from home, searching waters off Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, and Peru. By 1955, Pat knew the American tuna industry was headed for hard times. Now in his early 30s, he joined the U.S. Border Patrol, in the course of which he learned to speak Spanish and to read sign – tracking – virtually like a movie Apache. He enjoyed the outdoor work and found that he took naturally to law enforcement. By 1960 he transferred to the closely associated U.S. Customs Service and was assigned for many years to the Port of Entry, Tecate, Calif. His customs duties involved a lot of counter narcotics work; by 1975 Pat headed a small team known as the U.S. Customs Patrol interdicting drug smugglers on the California-Mexico border. Pat retired in 1980. By then he had married Helen Christine Butler and gained a large family of convivial relatives, with whom he enjoyed many good times, particularly hunting, fishing and RVing. He and Chris witnessed the Mount St. Helen’s eruption on one of their excursions and searched many a ghost town and abandoned mine over the years. Pat had a lifelong itchy foot and Chris’s willingness to indulge that wanderlust
made for a happy partnership. Together they annually fled the Oregon cold and rain to dry pan for gold each winter with other old timers near Congress, Ariz. Pat enjoyed Reedsport, particularly its opportunities for crabbing and salmon fishing. Vigorous until the very end of his life, he owned a boat until he was 87 and went deer hunting at age 90. Only nine months ago he towed a 22-foot travel trailer to Lassen Volcanic National Park in California for a family reunion. He enjoyed gardening, rock hunting and bottle hunting. He was a lifelong reader, and had four novels from the Reedsport Branch Library by his recliner when his time was over. He was a Master Mason for 50 years with Heartland Lodge, No. 576 in El Cajon, Calif. Pat is survived by his son, Russell and his wife, Jayne and their children Kira and Patrick of Bowie, Md.; son, Michael of El Cajon, his children, Erik of San Diego and Jesse of Reno, Nev., and three great-grandchildren. He is additionally survived by a stepdaughter, Deborah Bowlin and her husband, Brad of Perris, Calif.; five grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. Pat was preceded in death by his wife of 35 years, Helen “Chris” Vaughan; and a stepdaughter, Sheila Mendoza of Tulare, Calif. Pat and Chris’s ashes will be interred by those of his mother, Hazel Wainscott in Pine Grove Cemetery in McArthur, Calif. A service is anticipated to be held near there on June 28. Those wishing to donate in Pat’s memory are asked to consider his favorite charity, the Wounded Warrior Project at https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/default.a spx?tsid=66. Arrangements are under the direction of Dunes Memorial Chapel, 541-2712822. Sign the guestbook at www.theworldlink.com.
A funeral service will be held for Ona F. Muffett, 95, of Reedsport at 1 p.m.. Tuesday, April 15, at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church, 2160 Elm Ave., in Reedsport. Interment will be at Reedsport Masonic Cemetery. Ona was born May 25, 1918, in De Smet, S.D., to Manvil H. and Carrie (Eikamp) Knudtson. She died April 7, 2014, in Reedsport. She graduated from high school in De Smet in 1935 and attended business college in Sioux Falls. In 1937, she moved to Los Angeles, Calif., and worked for the telephone company. As soon as she could afford it, she bought herself a car. Driving was one of her lifelong joys. On Aug. 9, 1942, she married Winfield F. Muffett in Yuma, Ariz. After World War II, Win and Ona bought a new house in Arcadia, Calif. In 1948, they moved to Oregon and bought a dairy farm which they managed together for the next 23 years. Ona was active in the Oregon Jersey Cattle Club for more than
20 years. She served as secretary of that organization and was at one time editor of The Oregon Jersey Review. Ona also was a Cub Scout den mother and 4-H leader and supported in any way she could, the activities of her six children. In 1970, Win and Ona moved to their ranch up the Smith River, out of Reedsport. Ona loved the outdoors and never tired of finding wild flowers or watching birds, elk, deer and other wildlife that abound in the area. One of her prized possessions was her John Deere gator which she drove around — even on her 95th year, she could be seen out pulling tansy ragwort or chopping thistles. She was a very curious, intelligent person and an avid reader, who could converse on a wide range of topics. She was a biblical scholar, always interested in history and world events. Genealogy was one of her hobbies. She compiled a family history and on her 90th birthday presented each of her children with their own book — truly a great gift. Ona was an accomplished homemaker, who
excelled at cooking, baking, canning, sewing, crocheting, knitting and gardening. But first and foremost, Ona was a dedicated and beloved wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother who loved and was actively engaged with her large extended family all of whom loved her in return and will miss her greatly. Ona is survived by daughter, Christine and Chuck Calley of Coquille; son, Win and Hjordis Muffett Jr. of Beavercreek; son, Robert and Sharon Muffett of North Bend; son, Dean Muffett of North Bend; son John and Rose Muffett of Reedsport; 18 grandchildren; and 31 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Win; daughter, Nancy; and daughter-in-law, Jane Muffett. The family suggests memorial contributions to Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church, 2160 Elm Ave., Reedsport, OR 97467. Arrangements are under the direction of Dunes Memorial Chapel, 541-2712822.

OPINION
Hospital can help access meds BY KAMY MAHDIYOUN AND MARK MILLER Lower Umpqua Hospital
No prescription coverage? We can help! The Lower Umpqua Hospital District Retail Pharmacy has recently teamed up with SUNrx, a national healthcare technology company, to provide eligible patients convenient access to affordable medications, helping patients get well and stay well. The government’s 340B program administered by SUNrx allows community health centers and hospitals to offer patients a wider selection of medications discounted up to 60 percent below retail. Eligible patients include those without prescription drug coverage and in certain cases where a covered patient’s plan doesn’t cover a particular medication. Patients should be advised that “C-II” medications such as OxyContin, morphine, Ritalin, etc., are not included in this program. Reedsport Medical Clinic medical staff and the LUH Emergency Room physicians are currently regis-

How to dispose of sharps Sharps include needles, IV tubing with needles attached, scalpel blades, lancets, glass tubes and slides, and syringes. According to state law, approved sharps containers are rigid, leak-proof, puncture resistant, sealed and clearly marked with the biohazard symbol. Go to any Douglas County solid waste transfer station to request an approved 1-quart or 1-gallon sharps container for free. You may also purchase approved containers at many local pharmacies and medical supply stores. Each time you bring in a full sharps container to a solid waste transfer station for disposal, you will receive a new container. Absolutely free.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support for Tim Freeman Tim Freeman is one of the most personable elected officials I have ever met. He is always willing to take the time to answer any questions I might have or solve any problem. Just recently I asked him about bringing my granddaughter up to Salem to be a page in the Legislature. Tim was extremely supportive and convinced the chief clerk to let my granddaughter out on the House floor during the legislative session. Tim made himself available all day, taking my granddaughter into meetings, to committee hearings and on a tour of the Capitol. When constituents go visit Tim at the Capitol, one of the first things he often tells us is “this is your office, make yourself at home.” We need more leaders like Tim Freeman who understand that they work for the people who elect them. Tim is personable, available and ready to serve all of
his constituents. He’s earned my vote for Douglas County commissioner. Linda Hellenthal Roseburg
Support incumbent county treasurer Experience, integrity and dedication are the hallmarks of a good public servant. Susan Acree, incumbent candidate for the office of Douglas County assessor, qualifies on all counts. She has worked her way through the ranks of that county office, was elected to the post and has served honorably. She has earned the confidence of her constituents, deserves to be reelected and will have my vote. Ada Duncan Roseburg
City is irresponsible to incur more debt Have you given any thought to what has been happening to us as a community? Of course it depends on
your station in life, but living in Reedsport is becoming more challenging each day. If you exist on a fixed income the city of Reedsport appears to want to make life even more challenging. Already guilty of overspending, they now seek a way to get that ball rolling again. Unless you choose to relocate, your indebtedness will increase with the extending of Reedsport debt financing to a 30-year period. Unless you want to hurry a community collapse, you should vote no on Measure 10-133! One common thought about community debt is that community growth will distribute that debt to a larger group, thereby making it more compatible. What do you see as the possibility that this might happen in Reedsport? We are not a growing community. Unchecked spending for the sewage treatment was a signal to some to vote with their feet and they are no longer with us. Some councilors who voted this debt upon us have
also left the community. Currently the unoccupied homes in Reedsport number more than at any time in community history. When community debt is increased to an unsustainable level, community life often changes and not for the better. Business opportunity falls off when disposable income becomes scarce. Business closures become a regular occurrence. The state of Oregon is required by law to operate with a balanced budget. The increase of community debt is caused by those we elect to manage government. Of course they are encouraged by state and federal agencies to accept this unsustainable community debt. In the present case, local government gives you the option to approve increasing community debt. Will you really vote to accept unsustainable debt? Do not vote to increase community debt! Join those who choose to vote no on Measure 10-133. Mervyn Cloe Reedsport

For more information: The Roseburg VA is at 541-440-1000, extension 44721. Linda Mooney from the Umpqua Valley Chapter 805 of the Associates of Vietnam Veterans of America, alerted me to a series of Northwest Town Hall meetings, titled “The Faces of Agent Orange.” The Town Halls are being presented by Oregon and Washington state councils and chapters of the Vietnam Veterans of America with events scheduled in Seattle, Salem, Lebanon and Roseburg. Roseburg’s Town Hall starts at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 7, at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in the Community Hall Building. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 541-8177646. Linda shared with me, “This event will give people an idea of what some of our veterans and their families are going through and why our chapter is so passionate about this program.” I look forward to thanking Linda personally when I drop by an upcoming monthly meeting of the AVVA Chapter 805. They gather at 6 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday at the China Palace, 968 NE Stephens, in Roseburg.
Finally, the Veterans Service Office asked me to share updates about their outreach efforts in Douglas County. Monthly outreach is already underway in Reedsport and Canyonville with plans to extend this service into Glendale, the UCC Veterans Center, and the VA Hospital in Roseburg. The VSO recently received a grant from the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs to hire a new staff member for up to 28 hours a week. A VSO staff member is in Reedsport on the third Wednesday of each month, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Douglas County Courthouse Annex, 680 Fir Ave. They are in Canyonville on the fourth Wednesday of each month, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., at the Canyonville DHS Annex located in the Pioneer Plaza shopping center.

Publication notes rebirth of rail line It’s not often that we hear a story about a derelict rail line that, two years later, is back in operation, and three years after that is doing a brisk and growing business. That’s the story of the Coos Bay Rail Link as told in this month’s issue of Railway Age, the go-to publication of the rail industry. Railway Age recently named CBRL as their Short Line of the Year. Much has happened since the International Port of Coos Bay took ownership of the line in 2009, and began restoring the track, tunnels and bridges to operating condition. In 2011, the Port hired AGR Transportation Services, from Eugene, to operate the line and continue to manage improvements. AGR has done an outstanding job of professionally operating the line, moving the business toward profitability while stressing customer service. The numbers are impressive. To date, CBRL has received $31 million in grants from federal and state economic development and transportation system support programs to rehabilitate the 134 mile line. Over 94,000 ties and 54,000 tons of gravel were replaced, signals and road crossings were upgraded, and tunnels were rebuilt to get the line open to trains.
Shippers have also actively contributed to the rehab costs. And these shippers are strongly returning to the line. In 2011, the line had two customers; in 2014 the customer roster has grown to 14. Cars carrying product have increased dramatically since 2,480 railcars shipped in 2012. In 2013, 4,845 cars shipped. Cars shipped in 2013 are projected at 7,300. Forest products continue to be the bulk of the shipments. A new siding has just been built west of Eugene. It will facilitate loading rail cars with rocks and logs that are destined for the coastal region and adds a cost-efficient back-haul component to the operation. CBRL is a tremendous success story. It shows what can be accomplished when everyone pulls in the same direction. I salute the strong, focused and courageous partnership between private and public interests that worked very hard to make this happen. To read the article http://bit.ly/1qAItuB.

Are small birds more important than small kids? JOHN A. CHARLES JR . Cascade Policy Institute
Last year the S&P 500 Index had a total return on investment of 32 percent. That should have been good news for Oregon public schools, which receive twice-yearly checks from an endowment known as the Common School Fund. One of the largest assets of the Fund is the 93,000acre Elliott State Forest, near Coos Bay. Unfortunately, the Elliott did not return 32 percent last year. It did not even return zero percent. The state actually lost $3 million. That is quite a feat of mismanagement for timberland with a value of more than $500 million. The Elliott is governed by the State Land Board, composed of Gov. John Kitzhaber, Secretary of State Kate Brown, and
State Treasurer Ted Wheeler. Under their leadership, more than 84 percent of the Elliott has been set aside in no-touch zones to accommodate the alleged needs of a small bird known as the marbled murrelet. Refusing to harvest timber means that schools lose out. There is a better way. A recent study shows that by simply selling or leasing the Elliott, Oregon schools would gain additional revenues of $40 million to $50 million per year, with larger amounts over time. Markets work when we allow them to. It’s time to apply market-based principles to the Elliott State Forest. John A. Charles Jr. is President and CEO of Cascade Policy Institute, Oregon’s free market public policy research organization.

Small businesses driving job growth BY SERGIO CISNEROS Oregon Public Broadcasting
with work in the production sector. State economists say every region in the state
saw an increase in the number of job vacancies, but more than half were in the Portland area.
Oregon businesses had 10,000 more job vacancies early this year, than a year ago. The vacancies were mostly at small businesses — those with fewer than 100 employees. Employers not only had more job openings, they also reported having a hard time finding the workers they need. That’s according to a recent survey by the Oregon Employment Department. In January, four unemployed people were competing for each privatesector vacancy. One year ago, the ratio was eight unemployed for every job vacancy. Jessica Nelson is an employment economist. Caring Compassionate 405 Elrod, Coos Bay She says that an employer’s 541-267-4216 Service struggle to find workers Cremation Specialists tends to push wages up because they need to offer more to win the employee they want. “So it’s a bit of a story about the beginning of a turnaround from sort of an employer market to more of a job seeker market,” according to Nelson.

Attend an Easter event The Reedsport Foursquare Church is hosting “The Living Logos” on Easter Sunday. The performance by Rod and Jennifer Carlson is an interesting way to communicate bible verses. The couple has memorized an unbelievable amount of the verses and they dress as biblical characters to act them out on stage. The work is delivered in a form of reading letters out loud. The Carlsons will also offer some handy tips on how you can memorize all those verses too. It’s something different, that’s for sure. Indulge your curiosity and your hunger Sunday morning — the church is also serving a complimentary continental type breakfast snack of coffee, rolls and juice. The service begins at 10.
Put all your eggs in one basket What would Easter be without the annual egg hunt sponsored by the GardinerReedsport Lions Club? As many as four generations have enjoyed the 62-year tradition, and this year will continue the fun. The Easter Bunny will be there for photos with kids, so bring a camera and a basket. The bunny has hidden over 1,000 candy and treat eggs at Barrone Park, just waiting for kids up to 10 years to scramble for the goodies. The kids are put in age categories so no one is trampled in the eggstravaganza. The egg hunt takes place at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, April 20. Even if you don’t have kids to put in the hunt, it’s worth going just to watch. I love seeing those tiny kids decked out in Easter frocks, swinging those baskets around and looking for eggs. Even the smallest hunters seem to instinctively know what the egg thing is all about, and each one has a tactic for finding the eggs — some are very inventive! Cheap entertainment — in fact it’s absolutely free! Email Nancie at nanciehammond@charter.net.

Actual house may be removed later this year meets the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards. We roll it with a heavy roller. It packs out really nice. I’m pleased with it and it’s keeping with the nature of Hinsdale Garden as a woodland garden.” The product was recommended by the American Rhododendron Society. It was purchased from Rexius in Eugene. Kelly said they’ve also added a handful of woodland-style benches in pullouts that will also service people in wheelchairs. “There’s a place where they can pull over and take a break and enjoy the view,” he continued. That product and paths should be completed this week. Kelly said they’ve also added four picnic tables to the garden.
“We’ll have those along the river bank,” he said. A proposed footbridge from a small parking area to the garden has yet to be installed. “The contract has been let out,” he said. “Sometime in May, there’s a several week window where the contractor has to come in and put in the micropilings.” Those pilings are stainless steel that will be installed down to bedrock. “Probably in August or September, it’s a separate contract to have a crane come in and move the bridge into place,” Kelly said. “It won’t be open for this year’s events, but it will be in place for next year.” The bridge will, eventually, be tied into the footpaths. And, Kelly continued, this may be the last year to see the Hinsdale House on the property as it may be removed. That house has been closed to viewing, due to several species of bats that have taken it over in the last few years. “We’re still working on that process,” he said. “I can’t
give you a definitive answer right now but, most likely, we will begin taking it down, if not take it down completely.” Kelly said the BLM’s field manager is concerned about safety. “We will be putting in, by the end of this summer, putting in a large bat colony that will be on four posts,” he said. “It will be over by the old barn. That’s to accommodate the bats that are living in the house.”

Braves boosters raise $20,000 It was a well attended Braves Boosters dinner and auction at the Reedsport Community Center on Saturday. It’s estimated the boosters raised $20,000 to $21,000 for activities at the Reedsport Community Charter School and Highland Elementary. The funds include item and raffle sales, ticket purchases and cash donations.

The board held a special meeting April 8 to discuss what to do after the resignation of Superintendent/Principal Jim Thomas, effective June 30. The board decided to split the position and immediately begin an executive search.
Superintendent FROM PAGE 1
Superintendent search may cost as much as $10,000 laudable goal of considering making this decision without you in it.” Palermo pointed out she had begun an evaluation process of the superintendent — a process that was stopped when Thomas submitted his resignation. “I specifically set up a process, with the evaluation and ability to have some discussion about Jim’s abilities, his performance so that we
could assess that as part of the decision making of is he still the right guy for job,” Palermo said. Thomas pointed out he resigned to allow the board to make an unbiased decision. He did say he would stay for a year, if asked. “I don’t have any active searches out at this time,” Thomas explained. A motion by Browning to offer Thomas a new contract died because of a lack of a second. Another motion by David Young, setting a 24hour deadline, died on a 3-3 vote. Board members Browning, Young and Tamara Szalewski voted yes.
Board member Brian Thornton was not present. As the board continued discussion on the next steps, Thomas offered a solution. “I know what I’m going to do,” he said. “I’m going to make this easy. I’m going to withdraw because one thing you don’t need to have is a divided board.” “This is something that was, more or less, unexpected,” Young said. “The last thing I want to do is for us not to get along and (we should) move forward.” “It’s not so much the vote of confidence, or not,” Palermo responded. “I just thought that it would provide flexibility in making
that decision.” Patty Laskey moved the board move ahead with the executive search. It was passed on a 5-1 vote, with Browning voting no. That search may cost as much as $10,000. It’s hoped the new superintendent will hire the new principal. The board will meet with Lasher to set the parameters of the superintendent position. The district’s budget committee begins meeting April 30. The regular board meeting will be held tonight, Wednesday, April 16, at 6:30 p.m.

Ed Miller grabs king salmon out of ice bins to be weighed and boxed up at Hallmark Fisheries in Charleston on Thursday. So far, the 2014 salmon season has been one of the best in years.
Salmon FROM PAGE 1
The higher prices will be a boost for Charleston Store staff said Oregon coast salmon were now competing for price with fish from Alaska and the Columbia River. Past seasons had been hyped as potential comebacks for the fishery, but it’s taken years for the fishery to begin to stabilize. Salmon stocks from the Sacramento and Klamath rivers, where the salmon fished on the Oregon coast
spawn, had been depleted since 2005. In 2006 and 2008, federal authorities declared the West Coast salmon fishery a disaster under the Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act. Poor catch numbers were also seen along the Southern Oregon coast in 2007. While the high dock prices mean customers will pay slightly more at the counter, Reeves said the salmon fishery’s profits will help benefit a Charleston fishing community long used to poor seasons. “It’s been a blessing for a lot of people,” he said.

tree plant was followed by a hot dog lunch at Scottsburg Park. The event is the oldest, continuous tree plant in the United States, with the first tree plant being held in 1946.
SALEM (AP) — State economists say Oregon’s labor market is tightening. Data released Monday show that employers reported 10,000 more job vacancies than they did a year ago and more trouble finding the right candidates. The
Oregon Employment Department says the number of unemployed Oregonians also is falling. With more vacancies and fewer jobless workers, there are now four people unemployed for every job vacancy, down from eight a year ago.

Reedsport’s baseball team is in the early stages of what appears to be a wild playoff chase in Class 2A-1A District 4 after losing to league-leading Umpqua Valley Christian and beating Riddle in a pair of games last week. Through the weekend, UVC was 3-0 while the Braves, North Douglas, Oakland and Yoncalla all were 2-1. Only two of the teams will advance to the playoffs at the end of the regular season. Umpqua Valley Christian shut out the Braves 10-0. Reedsport managed just two hits. “We knew they were good,” Reedsport coach Todd Harrington said. The Braves bounced back well at Riddle, though, building a 9-3 lead behind a big day from Griffin Kaufmann before the Irish rallied to make the final score close. Despite turning his ankle in the bullpen before the game, Kaufmann allowed just three runs and six hits while pitching the first six innings. He also led Reedsport at the plate, with three hits, two runs and two RBIs. Shallon Zehe had two hits for the Braves and Marquece Williams and Haden Sams scored two runs each. The Braves, who improved to 6-4, played Oakland on Tuesday (results weren’t available by press time) and also have games against Glendale on Friday and Lowell on Saturday, both at home, before a big week next week with games at Yoncalla on Tuesday and at home against North Douglas on Friday.

Commercial salmon anglers are making some good catches with most of the recent reports coming from that area of the Oregon Coast between Charlston and Bandon. As for depth, at least some of the reports mentioned fishing down about 130 feet in 60 fathoms (360 feet) of water. The “Alcor” had a great day and a half of commercial salmon fishing last week. They were fishing a long way west of Newport and the 104 salmon they caught had an average weight of more than 15 pounds, but they sold their fish just after the price dropped. There have been a few reports of good salmon catches out from Winchester Bay, but rough ocean and bar conditions have made it extremely difficult for sport anglers to target the same Chinook salmon the commercial fisherman are. Very few anglers have been targeting spring Chinook salmon in the lower Umpqua River, but perhaps they should. Last year, Keldon Blair of Springfield landed four springers while casting spinners from shore at Half Moon Bay. He landed two of the springers on April 6 and April 7. There are decent numbers of spring Chinook in the Umpqua River above Scottsburg and there has been good numbers of salmon caught in the past two

back in the water as soon as they are noticed. For one thing, a few of the baby surfperch might survive resulting in better fishing in the future. For another, you won’t have to worry about which side of the bed the enforcement person checking you got up from that day. Perhaps a minimum size limit for surfperch is needed to address a problem that really has not yet come up yet to any degree. However, there really isn’t a good answer to what happens when an angler places a limit, or near limit of gravid female surfperch into their ice chest or fish box and doesn’t check it shortly thereafter. Congratulations to Bill Lackner, the president of the Clamdigger’s Association of Oregon, who, it appears is going to be successful in his extended effort to get the ODFW to capitalize the word “Chinook” when writng about Chinook salmon. I, often forget to capitalize the word “Chinook” — especially when writing my column while not completely awake. I vow to do better. Bill’s future projects include getting the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Outdoor Writers Association of America to to implement the same policy.
