RCCS shop program is model for state

BY GAIL ELBER The Umpqua Post

Reedsport Community Charter School instructor Guy Marchione was the center of attention at a North Bend town hall hosted by State Rep. Caddy McKeown on Sept. 29.

McKeown and Brad Avakian, commissioner of the state’s Bureau of Labor and Industries, were in North Bend to talk about the state’s current initiatives in support of workforce readiness — preparing workers for opportunities that are available to them locally.

One of these initiatives is the Career Tech Revitalization Grant that is breathing new life into shop programs all over the state.

For the 2013-15 biennium, the

Oregon Legislature appropriated $2.5 million to reinstate or broaden shop programs in the state’s middle and high schools.

This winter, the program funded about half the grant applications it received, and Reedsport Community Charter School was one of the recipients.

The $250,000 grant Marchione obtained has modernized the shop’s equipment and created a junior apprenticeship program at the school. The program gives students points toward entry to an adult apprenticeship program, Marchione said. They can also earn credit toward college programs such as Clatsop Community College’s marine engineering program.

Students can take workplaceoriented math and English class-

es to ensure that they fulfill graduation requirements. If kids fall behind, a paid student tutor funded by the grant helps them catch up.

Marchione has partnered with local businesses and labor unions to offer his students hands-on experience in areas such as marine welding, a highpaying field. He said his partners welcome the opportunity to fill their employment pipeline with skilled workers.

“One of my partners here gave up a $500,000 job because he didn’t have the skilled workers,” Marchione told the audience of about 20 people at North Bend High School’s Hall of Champions.

State Land Board to meet in Coos Bay COOS BAY — The State Land Board will come to Coos Bay this week to talk about alternatives for managing the Elliott State Forest.

The board will meet in special session 3-6 p.m.

Oct. 8, at the Hales Performing Arts Center on the Southwestern Oregon Community College Coos Bay campus. The public will be able to comment on ownership and management of the forest.

The board directed the Department of State Lands to develop a range of ownership and management scenarios for the forest. DSL has worked on this report since June. The land board won't make any decision at the Oct. 8 meeting; a final report will be presented to the board at its regular meeting Dec. 9 in Salem.

In recent years, revenues from the Elliott State Forest, a land asset of the Common School Fund, have been significantly curtailed because of Endangered Species Act litigation. As a result, the forest in fiscal year 2013 cost the Common School Fund about $3 million instead of generating revenue for the fund.

Comments may be presented to the board at the

Coos Bay meeting orally or in writing. All speakers will need to sign in when they arrive. Written comments must have author information included. A maximum of three minutes will be given to each speaker. It is possible that a shorter time will be allotted in order to accommodate more speakers. People are encouraged to bring written copies of their comments in case time constraints prevent everyone from speaking. All oral and written comments will be made part of the official record.

Those who are unable to attend the Oct. 8 meeting may submit written comments to elliottproject@state.or.us or the Oregon Department of State Lands Elliott State Forest Project, 775 Summer St. NE, Suite 100, Salem, OR 97301-1279.

The deadline to receive public comments is Oct. 10.

Additional information about the Elliott State Forest Alternatives Project is on the DSL website.

The State Land Board consists of Gov. John Kitzhaber, Secretary of State Kate Brown and State Treasurer Ted Wheeler.

Council votes on possible marijuana tax The Reedsport City Council, Monday, decided to join with other cities in the state in enacting a tax on marijuana, should Measure 91 pass on November 4.

That measure will legalize the recreational use of marijuana. The state already allows medical marijuana.

The council enacted a five percent tax on medicinal marijuana and 10 percent tax on recreational pot.

Other Oregon cities, including Coquille, Ashland, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Springfield, Oregon City and Troutdale have also approved similar taxes. Medford has proposed taxes of six percent and 18 percent.

Fairview, in Multnomah County, has enacted 15 and 40 percent taxes.

Some councilors questioned whether the city could amend the rates.

“Let’s say, tonight, we do a five percent/10 percent tax on this stuff,” Councilor Frank Barth said.

“Is that set in stone or can we regulate that at a later date?”

“I think that we could, certainly, choose at a later date to raise or lower it,” Mayor Keith Tymchuk said. “However it would still have to go to the voters.”

Reedsport’s Measure 10-119 requires a public vote whenever council wants to consider raising fees or taxes.

City Manager Jonathan Wright said, like other cities, the council’s decision is just a place keeper vote in

case Measure 91 passes.

The city is already under a moratorium on marijuana dispensaries until May of next year.

Councilor Kathi Wall-Meyer said she was very concerned about taxing medical marijuana.

“The way I look at is we’re not taxing prescription medications,” she said. “And that’s the same prescription, written by the same doctor that’s going to write the medical marijuana (prescription).”

She was concerned that making the tax too high would just promote the black market on pot.

“If we’re going to tax it,” she said, “I think that we should leave the medical part alone.”

The Umpqua Post sent out a questionnaire to the six candidates for Douglas County Commissioner.

An election is being held to fill the unexpired term of Doug Robertson, who resigned earlier this year after 33 years on the commission.

Candidates were asked three questions. Their answers appear in the order they were received at The Umpqua Post. Their answers were edited for spelling and punctuation errors.

Mark Garcia 1. How should commissioners a p p r o ac h t h e n e x t t w o b u d g e t y e ar s ? Sh ou l d t h e y c u t ? Sh o u l d they selectively trim?

The county’s budget is currently running in the red and has for many years.

We have been relying upon our reserves and safety-net funding to balance our budget, but our reserves cannot continue to be used on indefinite basis, and the safety net funding cannot be relied on, as it is currently being approved by Congress on an annual basis.

So we have to reduce our expenses or increase our revenue.

Long term, I have a plan to increase our revenue. I’ve developed a 15 page Economic Development Strategic Plan which will recruit mid-sized businesses to the county, thereby increasing our employment base and our county's tax base.

Short term though, we need to reduce our expenses. We can best do that by being smart about the cuts and/or trimming that we make to county services.

In January, when two new county commissioners take their seats, what we'll need to do is hold some public task force meetings to both brain storm and make decisions on how best to balance the budget. I have already proposed that we privatize our waste and landfill system out to our existing franchises. This has the potential of removing three to four million in expenses from the budget, and potentially, even generating some revenue.

We'll need to continue finding innovative solutions to some of the other services which the county provides. Which likely means that we will have to partner with federal, state and nonprofits to shift existing county services over to thier agencies and/or organizations.

The most important point to bear in mind is this: We need to make sure that these deliberations are conducted in public meetings, with public input, and sound planning and decisions are made before the situation reaches a crisis point.

2. What are the main issues you see facing Reedsport, Winchester Bay and Gardiner? How can commissioners help?

The primary issue facing Reedsport, Winchester Bay and Gardiner is the same issue facing the rest of Douglas County; We do not currently have an Economic Development Plan in place at the county level, and this oversight negatively impacts every other issue which we face, either locally or at the county level. We must become empowered by the resources which come with familywage employers in order to effectively tackle the many other issues which are of concern to us.

Last week, while I was visiting an Economic Development committee in Oakland, it was brought to my attention that my plan, Six Percent or Bust, does not address some of the economic issues that are of concern to them in Oakland.

Since my visit, it has been suggested that the Sutherlin and Oakland areas will probably develop their own separate plan — customized to

their own needs, and will be in addition to the county plan which I have developed, and intend for the county to adopt.

What I would Dale Rogers like to see as a candidate is an invitation to speak to a similar effort within the Reedsport, Winchester Bay and Gardiner areas. And if elected as a county commissioner, I would push to support that effort with funding, just as the county does with the Roseburg-centric partnership.

3. Should commissioners (comm is s i on m e e t in g s ) g e t o u t o f Roseburg to connect with other communities in the county?

Yes. First off I would like to say that I have already proposed turning the cameras back on during the commissioner's meetings, and also broadcasting the meetings live over Youtube, or a similar service.

Perhaps we should also take a look at the possibility of a call-in during the audience participation portion of the meetings. Much like our counts do with citizens living out of the area.

Furthermore, at the very least, I would be in favor of holding quarterly town hall meetings with remote communities, including the coast.

Dale Rogers 1. How should commissioners a p p r oa c h t h e n e x t t w o b u d g e t y e a r s? Sh o u l d t h e y c u t ? S h o u l d they selectively trim?

We should trim and cut waste anywhere possible. I don't see any way to balance our budget using current county funds without major cuts over the next two years, as we can't continue spending more than we bring in or it will greatly effect our economy. The residents of Douglas County will have to decide what are essential/nonessential services, as it's their money? We do have to continue providing adequate public safety, fire/police, veterans services, building/planning, assessment and other basic services. It will require major public input and many meetings with Department Heads to decide. I will personally speak to residents and ask for their input, as they know where they need help the most.

Missing biker dies in motorcycle accident REEDSPORT — The man found dead next to his motorcycle off Highway 38 yesterday has been identified as the Coos Bay biker that went missing earlier in the week.

Oregon State Police identified the victim as 59year-old John Joseph Ambrosini on Friday.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office originally reported Tuesday morning,

Sept. 30, that they were looking for Ambrosini, who had left home the previous Friday to go for a motorcycle ride to the Roseburg area. He was supposed to come home later that night,but never returned.

His family reported him missing on Sunday after they hadn't heard from him since that Friday afternoon.

On Thursday afternoon, OSP received information of a male lying next to a motor-

cycle off an embankment along the north side of Highway 38, about 12 miles east of Reedsport. When emergency responders arrived, they determined Ambrosini was dead.

The investigation showed he was westbound on the highway when he failed to negotiate a right curve and went off the road and down about 30 feet to the base of an embankment and struck a

tree. The Douglas County medical examiner said the body had been there for more than a day.

Ambrosini was wearing a protective helmet.

His friends had been checking travel routes after he was reported missing when they found his body.

OSP Coos Bay troopers are continuing the investigation into the cause of the crash.

Reedsport candidates answer questionairre The Umpqua Post sent out a quesstionairre to candidates for city of Reedsport offices. They were asked two questions. Their answers, in the case of the contested Position 5 seat on the council, are printed in the order they were received.

Mayor Linda McCollum is running unopposed. She is currently a council member.

1. What priorities should the city of Reedsport focus on for the next two years?

The top two priorities for the City of Reedsport at this time are economic development and levee certification and the two go hand in hand. We need to make our city attracMcCollum tive to someone who is looking for a place to start or bring in a business.

The Main Street Program recently had a kickoff sesson with the addition of a Main Street Program Coordinator.

She will be working to improve the appearance of our downtown and to do so she needs the cooperation of the building and business owners. We rely greatly on tourism and we need our city to be prepared to take care of their needs and to look like we are ready so people passing through will stop here and not go on north or south.

Any business researching our area will find that we have a levee that protects much of our city from possible flooding and in so doing they will discover that the levee will be up for certification in a few years. Without that certification the area protected by the levee could become a flood zone and therefore require very expensive flood insurance through FEMA. At a recent Town Hall meeting we learned of

the problems other cities had when their levees were not certified. We must do what is necessary to provide the funding for this project.

Many of our businesses are in this area and paying the large premiums would be a hardship as it would be for homeowners with morgages.

There are over 500 properties protected by the levee.

2. Do you think the city is being fiscally responsible?

Explain your answer.

When I sat through my first budget committee meeting last year, I was prepared to be completly out of my element and not understand much of what was going on.

At the end of the meeting I begin to see how it was all starting to come together. At this year's budget meetings I was impressed with how the city staff put it together and what has been done to control spending. Grants are researched and applied for when appropriate. There are openings on the budget committee that have not been filled, it would be wonderful to have a full committee and people who attend the budget meetings so they can learn and understand how the city spends the income we have and where that income comes from.

happen to cities who don't meet the qualifications, from city members who had lived through it. Unfortunately, it was not a full house. I shudder to think what my flood insurance will be if the levy isn't certified.

For those who live in other parts of town, they will also be affected. Look at the businesses that are in the old town area. Sky-high flood insurance is not an incentive to remain in a community.

Another priority should be to stop the hateful letters and emails containing untruths, and even outright lies, that float around.

Prospective businesses and residents look at things like that. Negativity isn't the way to solve problems!

2. Do you think the city is being fiscally responsible?

Explain your answer.

Yes, I think the city is fiscally responsible. Anyone who has participated in the budget process knows that city staff members have taken no raises(other than any due them in union steps) and there is no fat anywhere.

The City Manager has worked many hours to find any way possible to help get the levy system certified and the rate of the sewer plant loan interest reduced.

City Council Position 4

City Council Position 5

Incumbent Diane Essig is running unopposed.

1. What priorities should the city of Reedsport focus on for the next two years?

Two of the top priorities are tied together: levy certification and economic growth.

Without levy certification, no new business will look in Essig favor on our community. There was an excellent town hall meeting talking specifically about what can

Rich Patten 1. What priorities should the city of Reedsport focus on for the next two years?

I believe the City of Reedsport has reached the point that the recertification of it's levy system should be a high priority. If we were to loose the insurance rating we

presently have, all mortgage holders inside the flood plain would be subject to much higher insurance costs as they are tied to that rating. This, in my opinion would effectivly slow or stop all new business and slow or stop the established businesses with mortgages in the "Old Town Area". I have seen and heard what this council is saying and trying to do and believe in the direction they are headed. My efforts would be to help them with this project. Secondly, I feel we as a city should do whatever possible to become involved in the Jordan Cove project. This project could bring much needed jobs and revenue into Reedsport. We have the facilities to help them with the growth their project needs.

2. Do you think the city is being fiscally responsible?

Explain your answer.

Knowing each of the members of the City Council and the Mayor along with the City Manager, I believe they are working to keep all projects not only flowing in an honest direction but to keep the costs as low as possible. I believe they are trying to create unique ways of funding these projects to keep the cost to the taxpayer down.

Eddie R. O’Carroll Question 1: What priorities should the City of Reedsport focus on for the next two years?

To get us out of this mess; To improve Reedsport image; Bring in new businesses with higher paying employment; Improve the standard of

Nelson’s

living.

Question 2: Do you think the city is being fiscally responsible? Explain your answer.

No. The City Council has not fiscally managed its' fiscally responsibilities; or even know how to improve the situation The City Council doesn't know what they are doing. The City Council keeps borrowing money or begging for grants (free money) to O’Carroll keep the city going. To put it clearly: the city has turned Reedsport into a "Welfare Queens State" (People who cannot manage to survive on their own ability). As all "Welfare Queens", they always keep giving us good reasons why they need more free money.

City Council Position 6 Incumbent Debby Turner is running unopposed.

1. What priorities should

the city of Reedsport focus on for the next two years?

The levee. We need to get our levee certified by FEMA (Federal Emergency

Turner Management Agency) . If we don't accomplish this, the cost of flood insurance could drive our existing residents/businesses away from Reedsport, It would be very hard to solicit any new businesses and I know it would kill our housing market.

2. Do you think the city is being fiscally responsible?

Explain your answer.

Yes. We work very hard to keep to our budget, could we do better by putting off some repairs, only to have the same repair come up the next year and be in worst condition, That's not a very good solution, If I need repairs done at my home, we do it before the repair causes more damage.

OPINION

Why should I take CERT training?

BY JAMIE SWAFFORD

(LAFD) traveled to Japan to learn how the Japanese responded to disastrous earthquakes. The deadly Kyoto Earthquake struck during their visit giving them an opportunity to witness first-hand how community participants can play a significant role in post-disaster support and response. Later that year, they traveled to Mexico in the wake of the 8.1 Mexico City earthquake that killed more than 10,000 people.

LAFD officials observed that every-day people – family, neighbors and passers-by spontaneously tried to help each other.

These spontaneous volunteers saved 800 people – BUT — 100 of them lost their lives while attempting to save others.

In the aftermath of that earthquake LAFD decided

that something needed to be done to ensure that futurevolunteers would know the best way to respond to a disaster to rescue others AND protect themselves. The CERT team concept was developed and the first class of trained volunteers graduated in 1986. They were used in 1987 in the aftermath of the Whittier Narrows earthquake CERT is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. Through training, citizens can manage utilities and put out small fires; treat the three killers by opening airways, con-

trolling bleeding, and treating for shock; provide basic medical aid; search for and rescue victims safely; and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective.

Throughout the year, local CERT volunteers help with events such as The Chainsaw Festival, Art By The Bay, Kool Coastal Nights, Dunefest, National Night Out, just to name a few. They also provide “R U Ready” classes anytime through the year to better prepare families and the community. The local CERT group is planning their next training this coming spring.

For more information about our local CERT training or “R U Ready” classes, please contact Dan Loop at 541271-2682 or beachloops@gmail.com.

we’ll have the greatest success.

3. Should commissioners (commission meetings) get out of Roseburg to connect with other communities in the county?

Not only outside of Roseburg, but also at p.m. meetings, instead of a.m. meetings.Transparency is top of my agenda, which puts the commissioners available to all communities.

voice of the Reedsport, Winchester Bay, and Gardiner areas in the Douglas County Commissioner's Office.

I think that one of the other main issues certainly is economic growth. I have a background in working with a variety of industries, technologies, marketing, and workforce development. I believe that we can grow the coastal areas economy from within, with our local resources and people, to develop a living wage economy. I will be a driving force for economic opportunity in our County through training and infrastructure development. We can build a real economy here and get back to the times when we made things that mattered to America. Douglas County, and each neighborhood within it, has a history of not giving up, of being built by strong pioneer families. I will work with the people to support our internal strengths to grow current — and build new — living wage, sustain-

able industries.

3. Should commissioners (commission meetings) get out of Roseburg to connect with the other communities in the county?

A resounding, “Yes!” I believe we must have some of the weekly meetings of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in the Reedsport, Winchester Bay, and Gardiner areas. All meetings should be back on the air and made available in video formats. I believe that we can use Internet technology to allow the coastal communities and other outlying areas to participate in Board of Commissioner's meetings. I have said throughout my candidacy that I believe Douglas County Commissioner's office must be open, accessible, transparent, and responsible to the people's needs. I believe that county business must be done in the public view, and as county commissioner I will stand for that right of the People.

weather patterns (wind storms and heavy rain).

Within minutes of a disaster striking, all available resources may be overwhelmed, leaving you and your neighbors or co-workers to fend for yourselves.

CERT-trained people can help minimize the effects of a disaster and facilitate recovery.

My first CERT training class was at Siuslaw Fire Department in Florence.

Members of the class included residents of a retirement community and a woman in a wheelchair.

When I mentioned this to a friend she asked why someone in a wheelchair would become a CERT. My response, “Because she worked dispatch in California and probably knows more about emergencies than anybody else in the

class. There are all kinds of communication jobs she can do for CERT. And because CERT is about teaching people how to take care of themselves THE CHANGING FACE – if you can take care of yourself, and maybe help a few neighbors take care of OF HEALTH themCARE selves, you can reduce the number of people who need the attention of first responders.” Anyone can be CERT trained.

During my CERT training we learned about the beginnings of the CERT concept. In 1985 a group of Los Angeles Fire Department officials

The issues that Reedsport has are not the same issues that Sutherlin has. We as commissioners have got to get out and hear from the people, how can we judge the job we are doing if we have no input from the people.

Webster's Dictionary defines a disaster as "any event that overwhelms existing resources to deal with the event." Emergency preparedness is something that most of us who live on the coast have thought about at one time or another. Our communities are especially vulnerable to disasters because of our location next to the ocean (tsunamis and earthquakes); because of our transportation system (bridges that may collapse, or be blocked during an emergency — Scottsburg Bridge just recently — and hill sides that are prone to sliding and blocking roads); proximity to three water systems that are prone to flooding (Schofield Creek, Umpqua and Smith rivers); and our sometimes exciting

LOCAL

Signals of a change of season It’s fall. It’s official. My favorite time of the year. But one of the things to look forward to may be off the table this year, I hear. The CDABA Halloween Gala appears to be a no go. That’s a shame because it was always so much fun. But I guess the attendance wasn’t where it needed to be. I hate that.

Especially since the decorations and costumes were so well done and the Mindpower women, Theresa Chickering and so many others worked so hard on it. Dang. I hope something else will spring up for Halloween. Please let me know if you’re planning to spring something on us.

FIRST FRIDAY It’s back! Well, not quite yet – it will be back on Friday Nov. 7, but aren’t you glad to know there’s one coming? It’s a particularly good one too. It will feature two artists, Theresa Chickering and Rose Burch.

Theresa’s fabric art is amazing and I love Rose’s paintings. The event will be hosted by Lower Umpqua Hospital, so you know the snacks will be divine. Put it on the calendar now.

it’s actually the right time to take care of some things.

For instance, if you’re thinking about using the Winchester Bay Community Center for a family gathering or an employee Christmas party this winWHAT’S UP ter, now is the time to reserve it.

It fills up fast.

There are two large halls, fireplaces and a Nancie huge full H a m m o n d service kitchen with everything you need to make a fabulous feast.

There’s even a piano, and 200 chairs and lots of long tables. Tell me that isn’t handier than having 200 of your nearest and dearest using the bathroom at your house! It’s charming there too, and will be decorated for the holidays. If you’re thinking about it, pick up the phone now and call Peggy Edson at: 541-3610008.

SEE’S CANDY HOLIDAY HEADS-UP I know it seems early but

Well, it wouldn’t be Christmas without it,

would it? Good news, the Lions will be selling it again this year. They have to order it very, very early, and you might know (if you procrastinate like I do) that they run out every year.

That’s a good thing – it’s important that they make money on the sales to do good work in the community and having leftover candy is bad business. If you are planning on buying a lot of candy, say more than 10 boxes for family, friends, employees…. You should give a quick call to Jim Wells and let him know so he can order them for you. Don’t count on having it available otherwise. And also, don’t be a piggy. If you forget to order up your stack of boxes it’s kind of mean to buy out the supply before anyone else has a chance to get the box or two they are counting on.

Oh, and here’s a word to the wise – if you call See’s to order and have delivered to say your elderly aunts in Portland or Phoenix, the shipping charge can actually be MORE than the candy. Nope, not kidding.

It doubles the price and can even be more to ship than to buy the goods. Isn’t that crazy? You are much, much better off to buy it

here and ship it yourself.

NEW SERVICE Not a morning person?

You’ve missed a lot of church services then, haven’t you? Good news –

The Church of God has added an evening service just for you. The services will be at 6 p.m. and will be identical to the three services on Sunday morning. Everyone is welcome.

Come out and see what the morning people have been learning on Sunday mornings!

The Coastal Douglas Arts and Business Alliance (CDABA) will feature two local artists in a First Friday/Art is for Everyone event on Friday, Nov. 7. The event will be hosted by the Lower Umpqua Hospital, 600 Ranch Road, Reedsport. This reception style First Friday event will be held in the lobby of the hospital between 5 and 7 p.m.

Rose Burch is an accomplished professional freelance artist with a masters in Fine Art. Rose resides quietly in the Northwest, where she has been an instrument through which art and the written word flow, and where she draws the creative process from within as an artist and facilitator of art exploration. Rose presents art and the written word as a locution and courier of that which might not otherwise be observed or visually embraced. Her work endeavors to validate and encourage life … itself alive and vibrant. Creative expressions reveal images of conceptual, symbolical and allegorical significance molded into existence through water, watercolor pigment and the color of light. Her works are acclaimed in corporate and private collections and exhibits in the USA and internationally.

Local fiber artist Theresa Richards Chickering: Theresa began making traditional quilts approximately 25 years ago. To keep her craft interesting and fresh, she is always exploring the use of different techniques and material. Today she combines contemporary quilting and mixed media techniques with such nontraditional materials as her own hand

dyed, stamped and painted fabrics. Theresa’s favorite subjects include realistic landscapes and other nature based subjects but occasionally a more abstract piece finds it way into the mix. Theresa loves the challenge of making her pieces have as much depth and dimension as possible, so that the viewer is amazed that the piece is made with fabric.

For more information or to nominate someone to be a featured artist, contact Coastal Douglas Arts & Business Alliance by contacting Kathleen Miller at CDABA.Reedsport@gmail.com.

Tax FROM PAGE 1 In other action, the council adopted an ordinance that sets new limits on the loitering by kids suspended or expelled from local schools.

It adds provisions for daytime loitering between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on days that schools are in session. Reedsport already has a curfew between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. for those under 18.

It also makes it unlawful for parents or guardians to “knowingly permit such minor to loiter, idle, water, stroll or play” in a number of areas in the city during school hours. That does not include kids who have adult supervision.

The council also voted to grant a nonexclusive telecommunications franchise to Coastcom, Inc.

Program FROM PAGE 1 Other schools around the state are developing programs that help prepare students for work industries that are big employers in their own area. Bend High School, for example, has programs in health care, geothermal energy, automotive technology and alternative energy. Beaverton High School has developed a health care program in partnership with the managed care organization Kaiser Permanente.

Avakian praised McKeown’s advocacy of the funding. “Rep. McKeown was an absolute champ for all of you,” he said. “She

helped secure the money that brought back one of the first programs we restored, the one at Reedsport Community Charter School.”

In turn, McKeown called Marchione’s program a model for others.

The panelists also discussed an initiative by Southwestern Oregon Community College to create credit and noncredit courses to train workers in fields where there is a local shortage of job applicants.

Diana Schab, SWOCC’s dean of career technical education, and Ross Tomlin, SWOCC’s vice president of instruction and student services, talked about the

new programs, which include offerings in accounting, forestry and health care.

Funding has come from the U.S. Department of Labor and also from local businesses that have contributed toward the start-up expenses of the programs.

Eventually, tuition is expected to sustain the programs.

The college will develop a program for any local employer that expresses a need, Schab said. Railroad technology and truck driving programs are currently in development.

“We need to train people where the jobs are,” McKeown said.

Reedsport loses league opener to Toledo THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport’s start to the Sunset Conference football season could have gone a lot better.

The Braves fell to Toledo 36-6 and now face an uphill battle for one of the three playoff spots available for the Sunset Conference. Reedsport will try to bounce back Friday night when they host defending league champion Gold Beach for homecoming at Ruppe Field.

The Boomers had started the year with three straight losses before beating Central Linn, but Reedsport coach Shane Nelson said he knew the Braves were in for a challenge.

“Toledo is a good football team,” he said.

“When we saw the film, we knew they were a matchup nightmare for us.”

The Boomers have a standout quarterback as well as brothers Ryan and Kyle Otis, who ironically are sons of Kenny Otis, who was on Reedsport’s state champion team in 1990.

“His sons are tremendous football players,” Nelson said.

Toledo also has two big linemen who created huge holes for the Boomers, who finished with 203 yards rushing and 255 passing.

“Toledo really controlled the time of possession, which hurt us,” Nelson said.

“They didn’t turn the ball over and really were great in picking up long third- and a

Braves celebrate homecoming THE UMPQUA POST This week is homecoming week for Reedsport Community Charter School.

The homecoming king and queen will be crowned Wednesday at Pacific Auditorium in an assembly that starts at 9:45 a.m. and the entire court will be recognized during halftime of Friday’s football game against Gold Beach.

The court includes junior princesses Blair Tymchuk and Kezia Eunice and

couple of fourth- down conversions.”

On top of that, for the first time this year Reedsport did not tackle well, Nelson said.

“We played physical, but did not wrap up well,” he said.

Reedsport also failed to capitalize on two first-and-goal situations inside Toledo’s 5yard line, fumbling both times. And Nelson said he made a coaching mistake when he opted to go for it on fourth down from the Braves’ own 15 in the second quarter when the Braves trailed 8-0.

“I felt we needed to get some momentum and they had been giving us the gap,” he said.

But Toledo switched its defense, stopped

the Braves, and then scored on a fourthand-goal play from the 19 when Ryan Otis broke three tackles on the way to the end zone.

“That took a lot out of our sails,” Nelson said.

In general, Reedsport didn’t play well on offense, Nelson said. The Braves got their touchdown in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Joey Herr, who was able to play the entire game after missing much of the second half the previous two weeks with cramping. On defense, Herr was in on seven tackles, including a sack.

Herr also rushed for 74 yards and the Braves had 165 total yards, including 41 by

quarterback Tyler Tresch. In the passing game, Tresch completed just two of eight attempts.

Reedsport’s defense was again led by Cameron Winfield, Griffin Kaufmann and Egan Glover, while Traegan Smart took a big step on defense. Joe Hixenbaugh had an interception for Reedsport’s only takeaway.

The Braves also dropped two potential interceptions, but Nelson said Toledo deserved credit for its play in the game.

“I thought Toledo was an excellent football team,” he said, adding that the Boomers’ top 10 or 12 players were very good. “I think Toledo is much better than their record.”

Now the Braves go up against another standout team, unbeaten Gold Beach.

“Obviously, they have beaten us up a lot the past few years, like they have most teams,” Nelson said. “We have to play our best game to be competitive.

“The offense will have to take a step in the passing game, we will have to play very disciplined and we will have to get a few big plays and, most importantly, quit beating ourselves.”

The Braves also will need to play better on defense, especially tackling.

“They are definitely the favorite on paper, but we are going to work our butts off to give them as good of a game as possible,” Nelson said.

“We are a good football team and like I said at the beginning of the year, we have potential to be much better.”

Reedsport’s volleyball team wasn’t able to knock off Myrtle Point in the first Sunset Conference showdown between the two teams last week.

But the Braves bounced back from their loss to the Bobcats with a win over Bandon that left Reedsport in second place at the midway point of the league season.

Salmon fishing heads to Coos, Coquille, Siuslaw rivers The Umpqua River is still producing plenty of salmon, but unfortunately, most of them are unkeepable wild coho. Much of the fishing pressure is now being directed toward the Coos, Coquille and Siuslaw rivers which do not have quotas on wild or unclipped coho salmon.

It is surprising how many Umpqua River anglers are unaware that the quota has been met and it is now illegal to keep unclipped coho salmon — even unclipped coho jacks.

But then there were more “new” anglers fishing the Umpqua River this summer than any year in memory.

Some of the fishing guides have

COOS BAY 579 S. BROADWAY 541-267-3163

been catching lots of salmon, but they are having to release lots of fish around their occasional Chinook or finclipped cohos.

On a more positive note, the bobber and bait fishery at the “mudhole” near the mouth of Winchester Creek is just starting to take off and most of those fish are Chinook salmon.

The coho season on three freshwater lakes (Siltcoos, Tahkenitch and Tenmile lakes) started on Oct. 1 — but the salmon are not yet in and

in this drought year the salmon may not enter the lakes while they are still bright. Siltcoos, which has a dam on its Siltcoos River outlet near the head of tidewater, will be the first to get salmon, One important thing to remember when fishing these three lakes is that as soon as the coho season starts on Oct. 1 — even if the salmon are not yet in — the second rod licenses some anglers purchase to fish for yellow perch and brown bullheads

are no longer valid.

In the meantime, it’s nice to have room to cast for salmon and drop crab pots at Winchester Bay. Fishing the jetty or ocean for bottomfish has been productive, but overlooked, as is fishing the surf along area beaches for redtailed surfperch.

Yellow perch fishing at Tenmile Lakes remains productive, but some anglers have resorted to using larger hooks (No. 2’s or No. 1’s) to avoid catching the dinks.

Some anglers are catching fair numbers of good-sized perch while bass fishing.
