Work before the fun Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Sculping Championship on June 12-15

BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

Work continues at Rainbow Plaza in downtown Reedsport for the 15th annual Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Sculpting Championships on Fathers Day weekend, June 12 through 15.

Bob del Re and Frank Barth are the co-chairs this year and, through the end of the event, you can probably find them on the chainsaw grounds.

“I enjoy doing it,” del Re said after moving large logs around the grounds, Sunday. “It’s a lot of fun.

I like seeing the gratification of the people that come to it and how the carvers are excited about what we do for them.

This is del Re’s third year.

Barth is no stranger to the event. In previous years he has moved through the grounds, helping where he can.

“It’s just the action of the event,” Barth said of his decision to replace Bill Karcher as a co-chair last year. “If you’re there all four days, you watch blocks of wood become something and it’s amazing.”

The fundraising aspect of the event is also a big plus for Barth.

This year’s event includes 32 professional carvers, including locals Ryan Anderson, Reedsport, Woojay Poynter, North Bend and championship founder Bob King, who now lives in Edgewood, Wash.

There are seven pro carvers from overseas, including carvers from Russia, England, Japan, Italy, Canada and The Netherlands.

There are 11 semi-professional carvers signed up, including Reedsport’s Shauna Hermansen.

Two foreign semi-pros are from Germany.

A decision on a new superintendent for the Reedsport School District was delayed for several days as a candidate considered an offer.

The school board held an interview night May 29, at the Reedsport Community Charter School. Candidates met with community members, school district staff and did a formal interview with the school board. The threehour process was topped off with an executive session to discuss each candidate.

One candidate, Cathy ChenailHurowitz, withdrew her application before the interview process.

The candidates: Patrick Gross is a former Reedsport teacher and principal who currently works for the Department of Defense. Gross is a principal in Bitburg, Germany.

He conducted all three interviews May 29, via computer. It was 2 to 5 a.m., German time.

Kathleen Ryan Jackson works at the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon and is a former principal in Albany.

School District.

Chenail-Hurowitz is an educational consultant and former curriculum and instructional director at both the Coos Bay School District and South Umpqua School District. There was no word on why she withdrew.

In the end, the school board asked their consultant to negotiate with Jackson for the part-time superintendent position. The board offered a three-year contact for a .6 FTE position with a salary of $62,500 to start July 1. It also offered $1,500 in moving expenses.

Jackson asked consultant Michael Lasher for more time to consider the offer.

On Monday, according to Reedsport Board Secretary Rebecca Wilkes, Jackson informed the board she had accepted a job with University of North Carolina.

The board scheduled a special meeting Tuesday, June 3 to discuss hiring an interim. That meeting was too late for The Umpqua Post deadline.

OSU study finds wild salmon are ‘smarter’ than hatchery salmon

BY KEELY CHALMERS

KGW Staff KGW.com

Are wild salmon smarter than hatchery salmon? Some researchers at Oregon State University say they think so, especially when it comes to picking the perfect mate.

The study found that wild Coho salmon have the ability to seek out mates that will give them the most offspring, specifically mates with certain types of disease resistant genes different than their own.

According to the study, it’s a survival technique that hatchery salmon don’t have.

“The wild salmon appear a little smarter than the hatchery ones,” said Michael Banks, Oregon State University professor and co-author of the study. “We were able to demonstrate that when wild fish mated with other wild fish they had more offspring than when

hatchery fish mated with hatchery fish.”

The research is based on a 10-year study that compared wild Coho salmon and hatchery salmon in the Umpqua River in southern Oregon.

Researchers believe the wild salmon actually seek out their perfect mate by smell. But when they looked at the hatchery fish they saw something very different.

“They appeared not to have any plan … the way in which they chose their mates appeared random,” Banks said.

The researchers said if they can better understand how wild fish mate, they can use that knowledge in the hatcheries to help increase survival rates there.

The group of researchers is trying to get funding to continue the study. The next phase would take about 15 years with the goal of helping hatchery fish spawn as they would in the wild.

Reedsport Memorial Day festivities Monday, May 26, concluded with a service at the downtown Hahn Park.

Kevin Scott played “Assembly” to begin the ceremony. The U.S. Coast Gaurd presented the colors and raised the giant flag at the war memorial from half-staff to fullstaff.

After Scott played “To The Colors,” the National Anthem wassung by the Church of God choir.

Pastor Quintin Cundif from the Beautiful Savior Lutheran Chuch gave the opening prayer.

“I am honored to be here with so many veterans who have served our country,” Cundit said before the prayer. “We thank you, and today we especially remember those who gave thier lives to defend our nation that God has given us to dwell in.”

Reedsport Mayor Keith Tymchuk introduced the parade Grand Marshal and featured speaker at the Memorial Day service: Army Ranger Command Sergeant Major Daryl Thies, a

“In taking an oath to defend this nation, all the veterans that we honor today embraced that devotion,” Tymchuk said. “The simplicity of their service gave way to the complexities of the life after, and the knowledge that so many comrades in arms were not able to come home again.”

Thies spent part of his speech honoring his brother-in-law, who died November 9, 2012 in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan.

“This memorial,” he said, “means a lot to our family, as well.

It bears the name of Charlene’s brother, my brother and best friend, Captain James Nehl.

Though James is not my brother by blood, rather by marriage, I’ve known him since he was 10 years old. I watched him grow up in this town. I watched him enlist in the Army about three years after me.

Fireworks, exploding targets probibited on BLM lands The Bureau of Land Management BLM has prohibited the use of fireworks and exploding targets on all BLM-managed public lands throughout Oregon and Washington.

That includes local BLM lands in western Douglas County and northern Coos County.

“In anticipation of the early fire potential, the ban on fireworks and exploding targets will be in effect beginning from May 15 to Oct. 15,” said Jerry Perez, state director for BLM Oregon and Washington in a news release. “Summer is the time for families and friends to get outside and enjoy our public lands. Please do so carefully. Help protect our wildlife habitats, watersheds, rangelands, and forests – the lands that work for you,” Megan Harper, public relations specialist for the BLM in Coos Bay says the ban will have some effect on local BLM lands, but should have little effect on the Loon Lake Smith River Falls and Vincent Creek recreation sites.

“The ban is in place at those campgrounds,” she said. “Typically, in developed campgrounds like Loon Lake, fireworks are never allowed. So, this actually isn’t anything new for those places but it just reinforces that fireworks aren’t allowed in those campgrounds.”

She said she doesn’t know of any instances where fireworks were set off at the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, east of Reedsport, which is also managed by the BLM.

“I hope not,” she laughed.

The ban could have an effect on some users of BLM land in the local area.

“This is more targeted to people who do ‘dispersed camping,’ which is taking place, especially up Smith River Road, areas outside of Loon Lake and the Ash Valley area,” she said. “We do have people who like to pull off and like to camp on

some of the forest roads.

This would affect them, in terms of not being able to use fireworks at those sites.”

The ban could also affect people using The North Spit, a BLM in the dunes.

“Of course, this would affect those lands,” Harper said. “We’re trying to keep the folks safe and also fireworks out of places like The North Spit, where there is grass and there are a lot of

trees. Surprising, at this time of year, those places are pretty flammable, so we want to not have people use any fireworks or exploding targets out there.”

Harper said they’re available to answer questions.

“It would be good for folks, if they’re interested in being out at one of the campgrounds, or camping on BLM land, over Fourth of July to just give our office a

DEATH NOTICE Juan Carlos Santana — 20, of Reedsport, died May 28, 2014, in Reedsport.

Services were held Saturday, May 31, at Pacific Auditorium. Arrangements are pending with Dunes Memorial Chapel, 541-2712822.

Vivian Lee Riter — 66, of Coos Bay, died May 30, 2014, in Coos Bay. Arrangements are pending with Dunes Memorial Chapel, 541-271-2822.

Elizabeth Ann “Bette” Bates — 99, died May 17, 2014. Private cremation rites have been held and inurnment will be held at Oak Hill Cemetery in Taylorville, Ill. Arrangements are pending with Dunes Memorial Chapel, 541-271-2822.

“While lightening can cause wildfires, most wildfires are caused by people,” Perez explained. “And with more of us living near forests and wooded areas that border public lands, the risk of fire to homes and communities has increased in recent years.”

In Oregon and Washington, the BLM manages over 16 million acres of public land.

Those who ignite fireworks or exploding targets on BLM-managed lands can be fined up to $1,000, receive a prison term of up to one year, or both. In addition, individuals responsible for starting wildland fires on federal lands can be billed for the cost of fire suppression.

OPINION

Time for summer fun We’re now in the fun season in the Reedsport and western Douglas County areas.

Memorial Day festivities were back this year, complete with a parade down U.S. Highway 101, after a year of informal activities. The parade was much appreciated and featured participants from all over the region.

Preparations are continuing for the event I simply call Chainsaw!

The 15th annual Oregon Division Chainsaw Sculpting Championship will be Father’s Day weekend, June 12-15. More than 40 carvers, some interna-

Also to come this summer are DuneFest, July 30 to Aug. 3; Kool Coastal Nights, Aug. 2223; and Art by the Bay, Aug. 30-31.

The Oregon Old Time Fiddlers of District 5 will also hold a jamboree in August.

EDITOR

Memorial Day weekend saw a lot of people come to the area and it’s hoped more long weekends, crabbing, fishing, ATV riding and the special events will draw even more visitors.

As a kid, I loved coming to the area. My favorite things were watching my family crab, going fishing, riding the dunes, looking for glass

floats and, yes, just walking on the beach. It was especially fun to watch the dogs run up and down the beach.

One of my best memories is heading out over the bar the day after I graduated from high school in 1972 to do some fishing. Even though I was seasick, I was the only person in the boat who caught anything and, to make matters worse for the rest of my family, I caught two salmon.

Nice.

Make some memories this summer. Tell your friends and family about the region and, yes, invite them over.

offer includes a Total Gym, traction table, recumbent bikes, standing frame, treadmill, rebounder, stationary bike, tilt table, parallel bars, stairs, mat tables, pulleys and free weights.

Our therapists strive to individualize your treatment program to suit your needs and goals, but some of the typical work of therapy includes modalities, exercises and manual techniques.

Our physical therapy team consists of Mike Gauvin, Katlin Henning and Becky Muir. Gauvin served our country for 20 years as a therapist in the Air Force.

Now, he brings his 30 years of experience to serve the community of Reedsport.

Complementing him is Henning, who earned her doctorate in physical therapy. Together, they use their extensive knowledge of orthopedics and anatomy to asses and develop training plans for our patients’ recovery. Rounding out our team is our physical therapy assistant Becky Muir, who has experience as a pool therapist and has a desire to expand on the pool therapy program that we currently offer twice a week.

As for myself, I wear two hats: one as a manager and the other as an occupational

therapist. I have more than 12 years experience in a variety of settings, such as, hospital, outpatient, home care and long term care.

Can therapy be boring and hard work? At times.

But our therapists strive to be upbeat and positive during your time in therapy, encouraging you as you work hard to get well. They enjoy their jobs and take pleasure and pride in helping you achieve your goals.

As a manager, I’m always pleased to hear our patients testify that they recovered after attending Reedsport Therapy. This is why I believe many of our patients travel from surrounding towns, like Florence and Coos Bay, to be seen by our team. Our patients want to get better, and they know we truly desire to help them.

We welcome your feedback to help us grow and learn from each experience as we value knowing how your time in therapy has affected you. I hope that you will consider using Lower Umpqua for your therapy needs. If you have any questions or comments regarding our therapy program I would be happy to speak with you, please call or email at 541-271-6318 or kedmond@luhonline.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos and many thanks to Coach Harrington and staff for the good job done this year with the Reedsport Braves baseball team. With a very young team and slim roster, the Braves were still able to make the state playoffs this year after a better than expected season.

Wednesday's game against the Kennedy HS Trojans (the #3 seed statewide) was competitive most of the way with the Braves finally succumbing to the 2012 state champi-

ons. The Trojans were a team deep with seniors.

Three seniors for the Braves especially need to be mentioned: Haden Sams, Bryce Roberts and Jordan Ragan, all whom contributed enormously to their team's success. They'll be hard to replace, but with the bulk of the team made up of underclassmen, the Braves can expect to be very competitive again next year.

Hartman ready to get to business after election He says he saw a need and decided to try to fix it.

Roger Hartman, of Roseburg, defeated incumbent Douglas County Assessor Susan Acree in the May 20 primary election.

He said, in a phone interview from his Roseburg-area home, he wanted to make a difference for people with questions about their homes’ valuation.

“Basically,” he explained, “the values were artificially inflated for some many years and, even though we corrected several of them on appeal, they still wouldn’t bother to go in and try to correct the others. Since they weren’t doing anything, somebody had to get in and correct it.”

He also complained of “a lack of transparency in that office.”

Acree held the position for one term. Hartman defeated her 10,604 votes to 8,676, according to final unofficial results. Harry McDermott had withdrawn from the race, but still garnered 1,333 votes.

He endorsed Acree.

Acree issued an electionnight statement.

“Public service doesn't come without sacrifice,” Acree said. “Looking back over my term in office, I

made tough decisions for the benefit of Douglas County. I am proud that my integrity stood intact, never wavering under the pressure of special interests. I vowed to serve the entire public equally and fairly; there is nothing I would take back.”

Hartman’s campaign website describes him as “a native Oregonian and a 45year resident of Douglas County.

“For 30 Hartman years, he owned and operated the Sports Haus in downtown Roseburg and was a developer and homebuilder for 20 years before that. Since retiring seven years ago, Roger has acted as representation for numerous property owners in Douglas County. Over 90 percent of the appeals he filed for property value reduction were successful, helping reduce the tax burden on local businesses.”

Hartman said, for the past seven years, he was doing assessment appeals.

“I just got busier and busier,” he said. “Even though

Memorial FROM PAGE 1

Thies talked about the sacrifice that soldiers make less hours together in several different countries serving our nation.”

Thies entered the service June 6, 1991 and has worked his way to Command Sergeant Major of the 2nd Ranger Battalion. His awards include the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Meritorious Service Medal.

He has deployed support of Operation Uphold Democracy, Operation Safe Haven, seven times to Operation Enduring Freedom and four times to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He is married to the former Charlene Nehl of Reedsport and they have one daughter, Taylor.

He also talked about the sacrifice of other soldiers.

“Though the speech is not specifically about James,” Thies said, “it’s rather about remembering and what Memorial Day is all really about. It’s about memorializing and honoring

I didn’t do any advertising.

We didn’t keep a list of phone numbers. Nothing.”

Hartman was asked if he’ll meet, over the next several months, with the woman he defeated for the job.

“I’ll be doing a lot of planning,” he said, “and sitting down and deciding how we’ve got to reorganize things and so forth. I’ve already been talking with the department of revenue, existing employees, as well as former supervisors.”

Hartman said he did expect to win the race.

“The reason being is she wasn’t responsive to what the public wants,” he said. “And, for that matter, she was not following, even though she claims she was, the state statutes and Oregon administrative rules, in a lot of cases.”

He said, since nobody supervises the assessor, it takes an election to change the elected official.

Hartman says people don’t understand how the process works. The assessor’s job is not to assess property at the highest value possible.

“The primary and most important function of an assessor is to simply value every piece of property in the county fairly and accurately to place it on the tax rolls,” he

explained. “The assessor’s job is not — is not — supposed to be raising revenue for each taxing district. That’s the job of the budget committee for the districts, or the city councils or what have you. It is not the job of the assessor, by law as well as morally.”

He said statutes direct that property be assessed at 100 percent market value.

“Not 140 percent,” he said. “Not 120 percent. But, 100 percent.”

Hartman says county residents who have a concern about their assessment can appeal to the Board of Property Tax Appeals, a county board supervised by the county clerk.

“There’s people that are very knowledgeable about real estate values,” he said.

Hartman says it was a particularly negative campaign and was asked why.

“That’s a good question,” he said. “It wasn’t negative from our point. I didn’t attack her, personally. She ... attacked me personally, instead of focusing on the issues, or her record. And, that’s what the voters of Douglas County want, is somebody that’s going to focus on the issues, explain what they are and what they intend to do about them.”

In a questionairre completed by Acree before the election, she commented on the race.

“Hartman is a retiree who made property tax appeals a hobby, she wrote. “He claims a 90 percent success rate with property tax appeals in Douglas County but the facts show only seven of his 33 appeals were reduced to the value appealed, a 21.2 percent success rate. Last year, Hartman made three appeals

in Coos County and lost in all three cases, a 0 percent success rate.

“Hartman claims the Assessor’s office is wrong 80 percent of the time. The fact is there were 77,477 taxable accounts in Douglas County in 2013-2014. Only 272 petitions were made to the Board of Property Tax Appeals. That is .0035 percent.

“My opponent’s smear campaign isn’t a surprise.

Hartman doesn’t run on his resume because he lacks the experience and leadership skills to manage the assessor’s office.

“I chose to run for reelection to ensure the improvements and efficiencies we have made over the past four years are not reversed by a candidate who is cavalier with Oregon laws.”

Hartman takes over the position January 2.

Events at Salmon Harbor this weekend

Water-related events happen Saturday at Salmon Harbor.

One event is a free vessel safety check, conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol, from 1:30 to 4 p.m.

“We’re having a barbecue and snacks,” Harbor Master Paul Stallard said. all that have lost their lives The Coast Guard is also for this country and, to put hosting an event that day. it simply, their sacrifice is “The Coast Guard, at 2 meaningless without p.m., is going to have a heliremembrance.” copter rescue in the west The ceremony ended basin, right outside the with a recitation of “The Marine Activity Center.”

also have the 47-foot lifeboat available for tours,” Stallard said. “They’ll also have their inflatable at the Marine Activity Center for people to look at.”

Stallard said the events are a kickoff to the summer.

“It’s a kickoff to the salmon season,” he said.

“We’re hoping the boaters will take advantage of this, because, number one, it will free up our launch ramps when it’s really busy and they’re trying to do their inspections down there.”

Salmon Harbor has two boat launch areas for boat inspections.

“As they get these inspections, they receive a little sticker that goes on the back of their boats,” Stallard explained. “That allows the Coast Guard and marine patrol to look to see if they’ve already been checked and they’ve got all their safety equipment: life jackets,

equipment, etc.”

Saturday, June 7, 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Marina Activity Center, 263 Marina Way, Winchester Bay. A free vessel safety check conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol. Free barbecued hot dogs and snacks, too.

Saturday, June 7, between 1:30 and 4 p.m. — free tours of the U.S. Coast Guard Umpqua River Station in Winchester Bay, 355 Beach Blvd., including tours of a 47foot lifeboat.

Saturday, June 7, about 2 p.m. - weather permitting there’ll be a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter rescue demonstration in the west basin of Salmon Harbor Marina at Winchester Bay. Best places to view it will be along Salmon Harbor Drive near the Fishermen’s Memorial or from the Marina Activity Center parking lot.

sponsors help us with this event, of course, so we can make it better. We have to hustle the wood. We have to line the spruce for the main event. We have to find cedar for the quick carves, make sure that we have enough for 45 carvers for four days. That’s a large amount of wood.”

The two, with a paid crew of nine will also set up canopies for the carvers and will get the logs ready for a drawing to see who carves what.

Eventually, the chainsaw grounds will have a fence surrounding it, there will be sanitation facilities set up, a canopy and bleachers for the auctions and awards ceremony and other structures to be installed.

The Reedsport event is an “open” event, meaning carvers can make what they want, rather than sticking to a theme.

theme that we pick,” del Re said. “The last three years we’ve been doing it, we’ve been doing an open theme, so each one can carve whatever they want to carve.”

Events begin with the carvers check in Wednesday, June 11. There will be a welcome dinner that night at The Waterfront Restaurant and Lounge, across the street from the chainsaw grounds.

Carving will begin at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, June 12.

There will be “quick carves” each day from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

An auction of those quick carve items will happen each day at 5:30 p.m.

Sunday will feature an ice carving demonstration at 2:30 p.m. and a pastry-eating contest.

Awards will be handed out Sunday at 3 p.m.

“Everyone come to see it,” del Re said.

Auctions begin at 5:30 p.m. Thursday to Saturday del Re is excited about the international carvers.

“It’s always been nice to have the international carvers come over,” he said, “just to see different skills and the different things that they carve.”

“It’s going to be an interesting event,” Barth agreed.

“We have a little bit of competition, if you will.” del Re says it’s a lot of work to put on the event.

“A lot of planning,” he said. “A lot of phone calls. A lot of labor goes into it, like cutting the logs and standing them up.”

“We started last fall,” Barth said. “We talked to our sponsors; that was a big one because we like to have some

Sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance These are comments by Army Ranger Command Sgt. Maj. Daryl Thies, the grand marshal of the Reedsport Memorial Day parade and feature speaker at the service at Hahn Park: When your biography starts sounding like a eulogy, you know you’ve been in the service a little too long.

I appreciate that, Mayor Tymchuk. You made it through there.

Before I start today, I’d like to thank Mayor Tymchuk, as well as Mr. Jim Wells, for extending their offer to me to come speak at the Memorial Day event this year. Mr. Wells reached out to me last year and I graciously accepted as early on as I could. I wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Reedsport’s a very special place to me and my wife, Charlene, as we grew up here and, 22 years ago, in the same church we had dinner in last night, we got married there.

This memorial — it means a lot to our family, as well. It bears the name of Charlene’s brother, my brother and best friend, Captain James Nehl.

Though James is not my brother by blood, rather by marriage, I’ve known him since he was 10 years old. I watched him grow up in this town. I watched him enlist in the Army about three years after me. We had the honor to serve together in the same unit and spend countless hours together in several different countries serving our nation. I watched him grow up into a man, get married a couple of times. I watched him and his wife, Sherri, have a handsome young son. He’s my little buddy. His name’s Alex.

I miss you, James. We all miss you.

Though this speech is not specifically about James, it’s rather about remembering and what Memorial Day is all really about. It’s about memorializing and honoring all who have lost their lives for this country and, to put it simply, their sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance.

Far too often nations take for granted the freedom that all Americans enjoy. These freedoms were, and still are, being paid for by the lives of men and women that most of us will never know. This is why we, collectively, remember on one single day each and every year.

During the American Civil War, the Grand Army of the Republic, a Union

army veteran’s organization called for the strewing of flowers and, otherwise, decorating gravesites to our comrades that have died in defense of their nation.

Until the late 1800s, this practice of placing flowers on the gravesites was known as “Decoration Day.” Historians will argue why, or when exactly, the name changed to Memorial Day, or even when the first Memorial Day actually was.

For decades it was celebrated on May 30 of every year.

Then, in 1971, the National Holiday Act officially changed it to the last Monday in May. Now, most American youth mark this as the start of summer and many more pay no mind to the real, true meaning of Memorial Day — which is the remembrance of sacrifice and the memory of those who have given it all and are no longer with us.

I’ll admit, for the majority of my life, I was one of the aforementioned people.

Then, the cold, cruel reality of combat hit me when I lost the first of way too many soldiers in combat.

Many great leaders in our history have talked about the sacrifice of our brave service members. In 1863, some four months after one of the fiercest battles of the American Civil War, President Lincoln stated, at the dedication of the Soldier’s National Cemetery in his Gettysburg Address, “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.”

President Lincoln was saying that all of us still here must remember, and dedicate ourselves to honor these that gave us their all

defending the liberties of this great nation.

Another memorable oration, and one that resonates the most with me, is President Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech. He wrote: “It is not the critic who

counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who

know a hero and how many of you are actually remembering one of these heroes today? How many of you know the story of at least one service member out there that have made the ultimate sacrifice.

As I stated before, sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance.

If you already have a hero, may God bless you and your family and I hope you have found peace in your lives, today.

Our national debt should not be counted in dollars but, rather, it should be counted in the souls of those lost defending our freedoms. A debt that can only be repaid by individual Americans, by Americans pausing their busy lives and daily activities for just one minute on Memorial Day each year, and honoring the treasures that we’ve all lost.

By this, we will collectively preserve their memories and honor their service and sacrifice. This is our civic duty.

Caring Compassionate Service

By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post

Army Ranger Command Sgt. Maj. Daryl Thies, a Reedsport graduate, was grand marshal and featured speaker at Memorial Day activities.

strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Our American service members are the men in the arena. They are the first line of defense. They keep away the evil, that would love nothing more than to see this country fail and the American way of life destroyed. These are the stalwarts that allow us to sleep easy at night and, unfortunately, sometimes, this comes at a high price.

I ask how many of you

during the Braves’ game against North Douglas in April.

Reedsport’s baseball season came to an end in the first round of the Class 2A-1A playoffs last week, when the Braves fell to Kennedy 11-4 in a game at Mount Angel.

The Braves got off to a good start against the Trojans, and held a 3-2 lead entering the bottom of the fourth inning.

Reedsport got two quick outs in the inning before the Trojans scored four runs. One of Reedsport’s four errors in the game proved costly in the inning.

The outburst gave Kennedy the lead for good, but the Trojans put the game away by adding a run in the fifth inning and four more in the sixth.

Reedsport got three of its runs in the third inning. Bryce Roberts got

on base by an error and Marquece Williams hit a double to give the Braves runners on second and third with one out. Joe Hixenbaugh hit a two-run double and scored on a single by Griffin Kuafmann.

Reedsport’s other run came in the seventh, when the Braves loaded the bases with no outs and Hixenbaugh hit a sacrifice fly.

Hixenbaugh, a freshman, finished 1-for-3 with the three RBIs and almost had a second hit in the first inning. He was called out at first base in a close play that Reedsport coach Todd Harrington contested.

Hixenbaugh likely would have scored when Haden Sams then hit a double to the fence.

“The kids had a good year,” Harrington said.

“They stayed in the game

the whole way, didn’t ever give up.

“I’m not sure the score indicated how well we did play. They just had timely hits after we made a few of those errors and a few walked batters really hurt us.”

Blake Traeger finished 3-for-4 for Kennedy, which fell to Regis in the quarterfinals Friday.

“That ended our season, but it was a good one,” Harrington said.

“I’m really proud of how these kids played this year.

“I’m looking forward to next year.”

Reedsport, which had just three seniors, finished the season with a 16-9 record and finished second in Class 2A-1A District 4.

The Braves advanced to the playoffs for the first time since the 2007 season.

Sams chosen to be part of Shrine Game THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport’s Haden Sams is one of two high school seniors from western Douglas and Lane counties heading to play in the EastWest Shrine Football Game this summer.

Sams and Siuslaw’s Sam Johnson were chosen for the game, which will be played Aug. 2 at Baker City.

Sams, nominated by Reedsport coach Shane Nelson, and Johnson, nominated by Siuslaw coach Tim Dodson, were hosted last month by the Pacific Dunes Shrine Club for a celebratory dinner.

Anglers can fish this weekend without a license This coming weekend, June 7 and 8 will be “Free Fishing Weekend” for Oregon and a number of other states. In Oregon during those two days, anglers will be able to fish, clam or crab without needing a fishing license, a shellfish license or a combined angling tag. However anglers must fish waters open to the public and obey bag and size limits.

Anglers that have purchased a yearly combined angling tag that catch and retain legally caught salmon or steelhead during the free fishing days are encouraged to report them on their tags - but are not legally required to do so.

Another perk of Oregon’s free fishing weekend is that anglers can use two fishing rods when fishing waters where fishing with two rods is a legal option. Fishing with two rods is not legal for salmon or in the ocean, or in rivers and streams. With the exception

About half of the spring all-depth halibut quota of 113,229 pounds remained uncaught after the last three day opener.

The next three day opener will be Thursday through Saturday (June 5-7).

Most of the ocean Chinook salmon are still quite a ways south and headed north.

Area anglers can only hope that they will get here soon and ocean and bar conditions will be calm when they do arrive. In the meantime, there seems to be good numbers of coho salmon in our area and the finclipped ones will be legal to keep beginning June 21.

The Fish and Wildlife Commission will meet Thursday and Friday, June 5-6 in Salem to consider changes to hunting and trapping regulations and the adoption of the Coastal Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan.
