Thomas among four finalists for superintendent BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post
The public is invited to quiz candidates for Reedsport School District superintendent Thursday, May 29. The board picked four finalists after an executive session Wednesday, May 21. The board is seeking to replace Superintendent Jim Thomas, whose two-year contract expires June 30. Thomas is one of the four finalists. Other finalists: Patrick Gross is a former Reedsport teacher and principal
who currently works for Department of Defense schools. He is currently a principal in Bitburg, Germany. Kathleen Ryan Jackson works at the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon and is a former principal in Albany. Cathy Chenail-Hurowitz is an education consultant and former curriculum director in the Coos Bay and South Umpqua School Districts. Reedsport School Board Chair Kerrie Palermo says Thursday will be an intense day for the candi-

State programs leave rural schools behind BY CHELSEA DAVIS The Umpqua Post

Shriners from Lincoln City parade down U.S. Highway 101 in Reedsport on Monday afternoon all dressed up for the community’s annual Memorial Day Parade. For the first time in many years, a large portion of the route was on the highway.
COQUILLE — Oregon’s education system is inefficient, say local educators, especially burdening rural school districts with more mandates, less funding, fewer resources and more paperwork. Nancy Golden, Oregon Education Investment Board’s chief education officer, swung down to the South Coast on Wednesday, meeting with Coquille, Myrtle Point, Coos Bay, Reedsport and Powers school officials. Golden has held the position since former chief education officer Rudy Crew resigned last year. OEIB launched in 2012, and requires “achievement compacts” with all school districts, education service districts, community colleges and public universities — asking them to set specific student
achievement goals that align with Gov. John Kitzhaber’s “40-40-20” goal. OEIB began distributing grants through its Strategic Initiatives program last fall. The problem with Strategic Initiatives, said Coquille schools Superintendent Tim Sweeney, is it leaves out rural districts. The program is designed to match funds with community partners to support teacher development, early literacy, STEM and CTE programs, and college readiness. But rural school districts typically don’t have grant writers, and their communities don’t have the partners metro areas have. “Calling for partners unintentionally disadvantages some school districts,” Golden said. “We can’t keep coming up with urban solutions for rural communities.”

Freeman wins Douglas County commission seat
By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post
A veterans dinner, held at the Reedsport United Presbyterian Church, was well attended on Sunday afternoon. The dinner was organized by Diane Essig. See Page A7 for more Memorial Day weekend photos.
State Rep. Tim Freeman is on the way to being the next Douglas County commissioner. Freeman had 52.17 percent of the vote with the final unofficial returns, released after midnight in Tuesday’s election. If a candidate gets 50 percent, plus one vote, that candidate can avoid a runoff in November. “Nobody wins a campaign alone,” Freeman said from his election-watching post at his home in Roseburg. “It takes a great team of people that helped me, from around the county, and I’m very appreciative.” There were seven candidates to replace Joe Laurance, who decided against running for a third term.
Monte K. Smith, of Roseburg, ran second with 18.77 percent of the vote. “It’s been an incredible experience,” Freeman said of his county commission run, “meeting and visiting the citizens of Douglas County.” Freeman made several stops around the county, including Reedsport, during his campaign. Freeman is giving up an Oregon House seat he’s held since 2009. During the 2011 legislative session Freeman served as co-chair of the budget-writing Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Services as well as a member of the full

Midday fire completely destroys interior of Reedsport residence
Photo by Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post
A fire destroyed the interior of a house on Greenwood Avenue on Friday.
Crews responded to a fire at a residence in the 500 block of Greenwood Avenue on Friday, across from the Eagles’ Lodge. It was called in about 4 p.m. Reedsport, Winchester Bay and Gardiner fire departments all responded to the blaze. It appears to have started in a bedroom at the rear of the small house, completely destroying the
inside of the structure. The cause is still under investigation. The state fire marshal’s office was called to assist. Nobody was hurt in the fire. The American Red Cross, Cascades Region assisted one adult after that fire. There was a delay in the individual calling Red Cross for assistance. Red Cross provided lodging, food,

OPINION
Monday was Memorial Memorial Day is past. Reedsport saw a flurry of activity with a veterans dinner, a patriotic concert, two memorial services and, of course, the return of the Memorial Day Parade. It took a lot of volunteers a lot of time to put it all together. Jim Wells chaired a committee that met several times over the last few months to bring the annual celebration back to prominence. Kudos to Diane Essig, who helped to coordinate the veteran’s dinner. It was well -ttended and she told me later they ran out of food. The United Presbyterian Church was packed. More kudos to those to helped staff the parade. Imagine trying to coordinate more than 80 entries into a coherent event. It was satisfying to see
they couldn’t even sit at their kitchen table to fill out a relatively small ballot. Four out of 10. I’m not sure that veterans who fought for our freedom would appreciate six out of 10 people who couldn’t even bother to vote.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Praise for council; dismay at gloomy vision
Measure 10-133. I usually pay very little attention to Merv’s “opinions” but since this was published on the front page of the paper I will make an exception. Space and time don’t allow me to really dissect all the “issues” I see in this article, so I will address just two. First, Merv states, “We should never consider scare tactics.” I can only view that statement as a pinnacle of hypocrisy. Not only is the article full of thinly veiled threats of gloom and doom, just look at the very title: “Is bankruptcy in our future?” — if this is not a scare tactic I don’t know what is. In my opinion the entire article was a “scare tactic.” Secondly, I own property downtown. The fact that Merv thinks the dikes are fine doesn’t make me feel any better about them. I too was here in 1964. I was very young, but I remember the devastation the flood caused our town, not just the downtown, but the entire town. Every citizen was severely impacted and it took years to get over it. The event that caused the flood was not unique, it could and will eventually happen again. You can study it all you want, but these are the facts. I never want to see the suffering of 1964 repeated. In closing, I would once again like to say thank you to the people involved with city government. You are making a difference. Knox Story Reedsport

Cold cops help fund local charity It was all in good fun, raised money for a local charity and wasn’t all that cold. Some members of the Reedsport Police Department jumped into chilly Winchester Bay, Saturday, May 17, after somebody called them out. “We were challenged,” laughed Chief Duane Wisehart. “That’s the No. 1 reason. Secondary is it’s a good cause and a good show of support. We get to pick which charity we give the money to.” The department raised money for Fandrey Kids Sports fund, created after the death of former police chief Mark Fandrey last summer. “In lieu of flowers for Mark, I set up an account for people to donate,” Beth Fandrey said. “My sister is very involved in sports, as was Mark. If the teams need assistance, they know to call and I'll help financially because of the fund. Nothing is formal.” How much was donated by police depended on who jumped in the water. “We each had to pay $10 to do it,” Wisehart said. “According to the challenge, it’s $10 to the charity to do it.
Steve Lindsley
Chaplain Rob Wright, Chief Duane Wisehart, Sgt. Tom Beck and Sgt. Jim Wood of the Reedsport Police Department all took a cold challenge plunge in Winchester Bay on Saturday. Dispatch Supervisor Charlene Lohf also went into the water. It was a fundraiser. If you don’t do it, you’re supposed to pay $100 to a charity.” Besides Wisehart, police employees Chaplain Rob Wright, Sgt. Tom Beck, Dispatch Supervisor Charlene Lohf and Sgt. Jim Wood all took the challenge, along with a few kids and a dog. The chief was particularly impressed with one member of the team. “I didn’t know the chaplain was going to be there until that morning,” he laughed. “I was glad to see Rob showed up.” Wisehart says the challenge came from a communi-
ty member. “Jill Mast challenged us, apparantly on the heels of being challenged herself,” the chief said. “I never saw the video of her going in the water anywhere, but I guess she did. You have to do and then challenge. She challenged my office ... we had to respond, obviously.” They did it. Now, it’s time police issued a challenge. “We are challenging the city staff,” Wisehart said. That includes the city manager, finance director and other office staff. “We’re going to throw it
out to the council members and the mayor, if they want to,” Wisehart laughed. In a Facebook post on the Reedsport police page, Charlene Lohf says they were all more than brave. “The bravest part is wearing shorts around your coworkers,” she posted. “It was fun,” Wisehart said. “It was cold, but not as cold as I thought it would be. That may have had something to do with the nice temperature outside, the water is a little shallower there and not quite as deep.” The group jumped in near the old Coast Guard dock west of the Salmon Harbor Marina. “I think we got lucky,” Wisehart said. “I anticipated it being a lot colder than that. We, purposely, did not go down to test the water before we ran into it. “I was anticipating shrieking like a little girl,” he laughed. Wisehart noted there were kids, including a little girl, who were frolicking in the water just a few yards from the group. None of them were shrieking. “They were having a great time.”

Programs FROM PAGE 1 Of Strategic Initiatives’ $75 million in grants, the majority has gone to metro school districts. “We work hard to get grant applications in on time and in a professional manner, so to continually be bypassed is hurtful,” Sweeney said. It’s not often that state education leaders make the trip down the coast. “We can’t forget these areas, and if you’re spending all your time in the valley, you could,” Golden said. “It does seem like I go to Portland more than any place else.” That translates to fewer opportunities and less funding for rural schools, a longstanding trend that needs to change, said Coquille’s Lincoln Elementary Principal Sharon Nelson. “It gets exhausting,” she said. “If you’re not on the I-5 corridor, you’re in no man’s land. We work every bit as hard and with fewer resources.” Foggy legislation and constant changes make it hard for all Oregon schools to trust Salem, they said. This spring, the state Legislature passed House Bill 4150, backpedaling on 2011 legislation that many school districts interpreted as mandating “proficiency grading.” Districts put a lot of time and thousands of dollars into moving to proficiency-based grading systems, which makes this reversal frustrating, said Myrtle Point High Principal Jennifer Sweeney.
South Coast school officials asked Golden to make sure the intention behind education policy is solidified before it’s put into law. More mandates mean more — and, they said, often unnecessary — paperwork that especially burdens small school districts with limited staff. “Somebody’s got to figure out how to get a hold of the legislators and educate them about this random junk they do to us all the time,” said Myrtle Point schools Superintendent Bruce Shull. “It continually undermines everything everybody in this room is trying to do.” This spring, the Legislature also announced a new educator evaluation system, which the U.S. Department of Education has to approve in order for the state to retain its flexibility waiver regarding requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Most at the Coquille meeting like the new system, which, in part, evaluates teachers based on student performance. But they don’t see the point of another step, a Peer Review Panel, a regional overview of each local evaluation. “It sounds like distrust,” said Reedsport Superintendent and Highland Elementary Principal Jim Thomas. Golden continued her South Coast tour Wednesday night at SWOCC and ORCCA. On Thursday, she’ll travel to Port Orford-Langlois schools.

Reedsport reaches baseball playoffs BY JOHN GUNTHER The Umpqua Post
Reedsport’s strong second-half surge in the baseball season has earned the Braves a spot in the state playoffs. The Braves face Kennedy in the first round of the Class 2A-1A playoffs today after validating their second-place finish in the regular season with an 11-1 victory over Oakland in the District 4 playoffs last week. “I think we’re peaking at the right time,” Reedsport coach Todd Harrington said. The Braves improved through the season. “Coming into the season, I picked us right therein that 4-5 spot (in the standings),” Harrington said. “I thought
Riddle/Days Creek and Oakland had players coming back. We were going to be young.” Reedsport had a few veterans and a rising young pitcher in Griffin Kaufmann. Marquece Williams, who moved to Reedsport from Washington reportedly had talent as well. But the team only had three seniors — Jordan Ragan, Haden Sams and Bryce Roberts. “I figured Griffin would have some good outings,” Harrington said. “Marquece turned out as good as I thought he’d be. He came in with a lot of talk behind himself, but he had to prove himself on the field. He hit .574 or .575 on the season. He had some really good outings on the mound.” Shallon Zehe was a steady pres-
ence behind the plate at catcher and Tyler Tresch filled the same role at first base. Cameron Winfield, who joins Zehe and Williams as juniors on the team, also has been a solid contributor. But Harrington was pleasantly surprised by a pair of freshmen. “I wouldn’t have expected Wayde Doane to hold down our third spot,” he said of the freshman pitcher. Meanwhile, Joe Hixenbaugh started the season just 1-for-14 at the plate before coming on as a hitter. “The last couple nonleague games, he started hitting real well,” Harrington said. “After that, he kept producing. “As a freshman, that’s pretty impressive.” Meanwhile, the Braves started
winning nearly every time out after losing a number of one-run games early in the year. “Just overall, kids stepped up in their own ways and just contributed throughout the season that got us to this point,” Harrington said. Reedsport won 10 of its last 13 games, two of the losses coming to UVC and the other a 2-0 setback to Waldport on an off day for the Braves. Harrington hopes the Braves continue their momentum today. The coach didn’t know much about Kennedy, which finished the regular season 24-3. The teams had a couple of common opponents. Both lost to UVC and Kennedy split a pair of games with Waldport, losing 11-3 and winning 10-0.
The Trojans, who have seven seniors, enter the playoffs on a 17game win streak that includes nine shutouts and four more games where Kennedy allowed just one run. Harrington isn’t discouraged. In their playoff win over Oakland, Kaufmann pitched a three-hitter with 11 strikeouts and the Braves broke open a close game with six runs in the sixth inning. Tresch went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, Williams had two hits and two runs and Sams had a two-run double. “The kids are ready to go,” Harrington said. The winner of Wednesday’s game at Mt. Angel faces Regis or Toledo in the second round Friday. Reedsport would be on the road no matter which opponent the Braves would face.
Relay highlights Reedsport efforts at state meet BY JOHN GUNTHER The Umpqua Post
EUGENE — Reedsport had two defending champions entering the Class 2A state meet at Hayward Field last week, but the highlight for the Braves turned out to be a relay team that placed sixth. Mike Mitchell (high jump) and Hayden Hinshaw (pole vault) were unable to repeat their magical performances of 2013, placing fourth and third, respectively. Mitchell also placed third in the long jump and the Braves got a pleasant surprise when Tragen Smart was eighth in the pole vault. But Reedsport’s girls in individual events — Kezia Eunice and Kaylynn Hixenbaugh, were disappointed with their efforts. So when the Braves lined up for the meet-closing 4x400-meter relay, they had nothing to lose. And they came up with a great effort. Eunice, Cheyenne Lindberg, Bailey LaRouche and Hixenbaugh raced away from the other teams in their heat of the relay, crossing the finish line in 4 minutes and 28.51 seconds, a seasonbest time. “That was fun,” said Eunice, who ran a blistering opening leg and then saw each of her teammates either maintain or add to the advantage. “That was way better than I expected,” added Hixenbaugh, who struggled to eighth place in the open 400 meters, but ran much better in the relay. “The relay — that’s what drives me, that my team is counting on me,” she said. Hixenbaugh said the relay probably was the fastest she’s run a 400, much faster than her 1:06.95 in the open 400. A day earlier, Eunice was disappointed to miss the final of the 200 meters and place seventh in the long jump with a best leap of 15
feet, 11⁄2 inches. “I didn’t jump OK, not for myself,” she said. Also on the first day, Mitchell placed third in the boys long jump with a mark 1 of 20-7 ⁄4. “I’m happy with that,” Mitchell said after the event, adding that he was looking ahead to the high jump, his specialty. But the next day, Mitchell could only get over 6-2, and placed fourth based on more misses than two others who also got over 6-2. Oliver Meyr of Central Linn won the event by clearing 6-3. Mitchell matched his season best, but had hoped for a breakthrough. “I’m a little disappointed,” he said. “This year has been off. I haven’t been consistent.” Mitchell plans to compete in some summer meets to improve his skills. Hinshaw, meanwhile, wasn’t able to compete most of the season, and performed relatively well in the pole vault, all things considered. He cleared 12-6 to place third behind two vaulters who went significantly higher. Culver’s Corey Sledge won by clearing 14-6. “It’s only the second time I’ve vaulted this year,” he said. Smart tied for eighth place in the same event by matching his best at 10 feet after only picking up the pole vault this year. “It’s pretty amazing just to get up here,” Smart said. Smart picked up the pole vault as an event this year “because it looked like probably the funnest event” and only cleared 7 feet the first meet of the year, gradually improving through the season. Reedsport’s boys finished 10th in the final team standings with 18 pints. Central Linn won its fourth straight By Alysha Beck, The Umpqua Post crown with 87 points.

Coastal streams open for fishing; ODFW proposes hikes Bass fishing has been very good in most of ponds and lakes in the area with the best fishing taking place in the early morning for small to medium-sized bass. For the most enjoyment, use light tackle and smaller ribbontail plastic worms in dark colors, which seem to work especially during the warm summer months. Crappie fishing is fair at Loon Lake and the bluegill fishing is excellent with lots of seven to eight-inch fish. Now that the coastal streams are open, some interesting float trips available on Tenmile Creek and Siltcoos River. On Tenmile Creek, one can take a nearly five mile long float from Lakeside downstream to the “old highway 101 bridge” and then one person can make the one mile hike along the railroad tracks back to their parked vehicle. Fishing is good for small largemouth bass and fair for trout.

the licenses will show healthy increases and if the proposal is enacted, there will be nearly across the board increases every two years. I believe that most of Oregon’s hunters and anglers will continue to purchase their hunting and fishing licenses — despite their vows to do otherwise, but I and some of my friends purchase ODFW licenses each year that we do not use — thinking the ODFW can use the financial assistance — and these license purchases are likely to stop. In my case, each year I purchase a shellfish license, a combined angling tag and a second rod license that I could easily do without.

Dozens of people attend a once-a-month breakfast at the Reedsport Masonic Temple. The breakfasts are held on the fourth Saturday and help raise money for Reedsport sports and scholarships.
By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post
Reedsport has a new farmers market, which opened on Fifth Street, next to the Reedsport Community Building on Friday. The new market will continue on Fridays through October.
Farmers market begins its first summer season It was a slow and drizzly start, but the Reedsport Farmers Market opened for its first-ever summer run on Friday, May 23. Jim Nelson, a farmer from Florence who has farms in Brownsville and Junction City, is a staple at local farmers markets. “I do the Coos Bay market,” he admits. “I’ve been down there for 15 years.” He also sold at a Reedsport location eight years ago. His booth featured tomatoes, potatoes, blueberries, honey, jams, dried fruit, walnuts, hazelnuts ... but no strawberries. “They’ll be here next week,” he said quickly. The market will be every Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fifth Street, next to the Reedsport Community Building. Kathi Wall-Meyer is helping to organize the farmers market. “It’ll come,” she said of the slow start. “You have to start somewhere.” She said she’s been receiving a lot of calls from farmers asking about the new market. “Probably in the next two weeks we’ll get the local berries in,” she hoped. “Some are coming up from Silverton. There will be some from over Medford way. So, it will be a combination of Willamette Valley and Umpqua Valley.” Carrie Jones, from Lebanon, was selling a wide variety of baked goods. “We have homemade cookies,” she observed, “triple fudge brownies, homemade fudge and we have homemade bread. I have an Italian herb, garlic and cheese bread and my newest one is honey wheat.” There was lemon blueberry cake, cinnamon rolls and carrot cake. Her booth also featured fresh salsa. Reedsport was the third farmers market she attended last week. “Keeps me out of trouble,” she laughed. Geoff Puryear is from Umpqua. He brought plants to the market. “We’re Umpquatopia,” he said. “We sell certified, naturally grown, hearty plants and annuals, as wells as vegetable starts. In the summer we’ll have produce out of our garden and orchards. We’ll be back here regularly on Fridays.” Puryear also designed the logo for the Reedsport market.
Masons turn pancakes into opportunities BY STEVE LINDSLEY Umpqua Post

Voters would have approved refinancing; threshold not met Voters in Reedsport failed to approve a measure that would have allowed the city to apply savings from refinancing a loan to paying for engineering for a certification of the city’s levee. The city needed to get half of the city’s electorate to vote in the Tuesday, May 20 election, but voter turnout fell short of that mark. In final unofficial returns, released after midnight, 58.4 percent of those who voted approved Measure 10-133, while 41.6 percent voted no. The numbers show 524 voting yes and 373 voting no. That’s a total of 897 votes. The measure need 1,086 total votes to meet the double majority needed for such a measure. “I am very pleased that the folks who voted in Reedsport saw fit, by a large majority, to vote for this ballot measure,” said Mayor Keith Tymchuk. “It is well thought out and it is good for Reedsport and I’m glad the voters in Reedsport recognized that.” But, he was also frustrated. “I’m disappointed that we didn’t get to the 50 percent threshold and I think that’s always the problem with the idea that you have to get a double majority,” he said. The measure was a way to save wastewater users money, but was asking voters to allow the city to apply those savings to the storm water fund and, eventually, help fund an engineer study of the city’s levee system, in order to get it certified. The mayor said the measure was a good way to meet the challenge. “I do believe this was a well thought out and a unique solution,” he said. “I’ve been complimented by other individuals … former mayors have complimented me on the way the city has proceeded here. It shows good governance in a way that was win-win.” Tymchuk says the council will have to decide whether to move forward. “I think we discussed, very briefly, how to move forward … if we had won and if we had received the 50 percent vote,” he said. “I think, right now, the council will circle the wagons a little bit and decide how best to proceed.” He said there some things the city could
Ballot measure suffered because of low turnout Turnout for the May primary election in Douglas County was lower than expected. “We had 39.28 percent turnout,” said Douglas County Clerk Patricia Hitt. She had predicted more. “About 40 to 45 percent,” she said. Turnout was 47 percent in 2012. “That was a little different,” Hitt said. “That was a presidential election.” Hitt said they had a large number of ballots turned in within a couple of days of ballots being mailed. “Then it kind of slows down,” she said. She said 9,600 ballots were turned in on the Monday and Tuesday of election week. That was 41 percent of the ballots that came in. The low turnout did not help the city of Reedsport’s ballot measure. There were a total of 897 votes on May 20. The measure needed 1,086 total votes to meet the double majority needed for such a measure.
do, despite the unsuccessful numbers. “We could choose to move forward and put this in front of the voters in November,” he said. “We could also choose to refinance our loan with the DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) and then bank those savings and look down the line for a way to find our funding for the levee at another point. So, we do have some options and I think the council will need to bang their heads together and figure out which is the best thing for the city.”
