Measure failure hurts levee efforts BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

A Reedsport ballot measure to get rid of the double majority for fee and tax increases was defeated by a 56 to 43 percent margin. The city submitted the measure after another measure, in May, to allow for the use of sewer fee decreases to be put into an account to help pay for levee certification was approved, but did not meet the double majority, where at least 50 percent of the registered voters in the city have to approve it. Outgoing Reedsport Mayor Keith Tymchuk was disappointed.

“I’m surprised,” he said. “I think that it puts the city at a handicap to try to solve its levee issues. I’m disappointed for the city and I think that it really creates some difficulties in trying to find a way to move forward in a way that is predictable.” The city is in the early stages of getting its 3 miles of levee certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The funds saved from refinancing a Department of Environmental Quality loan could have been put into a fund to pay for the certification, which could run several million dollars.

City to discuss refinance of loan

That levee certification will be necessary to keep flood insurance rates reasonably low for homes and businesses, including Reedsport City Hall and other city buildings, in the floodplain. New floodinsurance rates could be in the thousands of dollars a year for some owners, if the levee is not certified. “Certification,” Tymchuk said, “is clearly going to be costly. The city’s operating under a premise, based on what we’ve discussed with other cities ... we’re looking at several hundred thousand dollars, just in engineering and consulting costs.”

Those costs do no include any work the city has to do to repair or upgrade the levee, based on engineering reports and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inspections. Tymchuk said Measure 10-135 would have helped. “With the passage of the ballot measure, we had a path that we knew,” he said. “Without it, now we’re scrambling and the path to solving our problems with the levee and our floodplain issues are now less clear.” The mayor said the measure was a good solution posed by the city. “It was a practical and logical

solution that allowed us to raise that money without raising rates,” he said. “This is, essentially, the same ballot measure that was passed ... in May.” Tymchuk, who leaves office in January, says the city will now have to find another way to get through the certification process. “If we can’t pay for it,” he said, “it’s going to be the property owners of Reedsport, especially downtown, who will face great difficulty.” In final unofficial returns, Measure 10-135 had 591 no votes (56 percent) to 462 yes votes (44 percent).

The Reedsport City Council will hold a special meeting Monday, Nov. 17, at 6 p.m. to discuss whether to refinance a Department of Environmental Quality loan for the city’s wastewater treatment facility. “The state gave us two years to accomplish this,” Reedsport City Manager Jonathan Wright said. “It’s going to take us some time, once we pull the trigger, to actually get through the process. We’re coming up on our one year mark and we definitely don’t want to miss out on our opportunity if the thing gets hung up or takes more time than we originally intended. We want to make sure we have enough time left in the process in order to complete it.” Wright said refinancing the loan would be a benefit to the community. “Lowering your interest rate from 3.05 to 1.8 is a big deal,” he said. He said it was unfortunate that voters did not approve Measure 10135 on the Nov. 4 ballot to eliminate the double majority for fee and tax increases. The city had planned, had the measure passed, to ask voters to use the savings of refinancing the sewer plant to put into a fund for levee certification. “With the failure of Measure 10135 we do not have the ability to adjust rates if we need to,” Wright said. “Some of options that were on the table, previously, are now off. All of those options included additional savings, based on a shorter term. Based on staff’s analysis at this point, it appears that, in order to take the loan and be able to pay

COOS BAY — The South Coast Community Foundation has picked the final three candidates to round out its seven-member board. SCCF’s four current board members — John Sweet, Terence O’Connor, Brianna Hanson and Tom Leahy — chose Keith Tymchuk, Al Pettit and Andy Combs for the three at-large seats at their Wednesday meeting. Now, SCCF’s four member entities — Coos County, Oregon International Port of Coos Bay and the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend — have to approve the three candidates. Tymchuk is ending his sixth term as mayor of Keith Tymchuk Reedsport, and brings 30 years of experience teaching social studies. The foundation is proposed to receive community service fee payments from Jordan Cove, some of which will be dispersed to Coos County school districts, as well as Reedsport and Port OrfordLanglois school districts. Pettit also has a write-in campaign pending for a vacant Coos Bay City Council seat. He owns Harley-Davidson in Coos Bay and

OPINION

Sending a little of home to Charlie Company Efforts are underway to bring a little bit of home in care packages to our own Charlie Company soldiers this holiday season. As you already know, Roseburg's Charlie Company of the Oregon National Guard is serving a one-year deployment in Afghanistan. The soldiers are providing security near Kabul, at Bagram Airfield, the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan, located next to the ancient city of Bagram. Charlie Company is part of the 1st Battalion, 186th Infantry Regiment and includes citizensoldiers from Coos Bay, Medford, Merlin, St. Helens, and Ashland. Preparation for their deployment included training at Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center near Astoria, at Gowen Field Air National Guard Base in Boise, Idaho and Fort Hood, Texas. Sutherlin’s Pat Greer contacted me to say she’s asking for donations to fill Christmas care packages for Charlie Company. “We would like to get several boxes in the mail soon as it takes 3-4 weeks for them to arrive,” said Greer. “The officer in charge keeps

One of the highlights of my stay, apart from the southern cooking, has been the National Infantry Museum & Soldier Center. Located on a 200-acre tract of hardwoods and pines just outside the gates of the Fort Benning Maneuver Center of Excellence, the museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the United States Army Infantry. Earlier this year, the new facility celebrated its fifth anniversary. Prior to closing in April 2008, the National Infantry Museum was housed in an old Army hospital on Fort Benning. The National Infantry Museum does not receive federal, state or city funding. Through its lease agreement with the 501 (c)(3) National Infantry Foundation, the Army reimburses the Foundation for approximately 30 percent of the museum’s annual operating expenses. The museum relies on donations, memberships and rev-

enue-generating attractions to cover operating expenses. The Infantry Heritage Letter provides regular museum updates and special events.

Setting and prioritizing financial goals and time frames. Implementing appropriate saving and investment strategies. The first step to creating and implementing a financial plan is to develop a clear picture of your current financial situation. If you don't already have one, consider establishing a budget or a spending plan. Creating a budget requires you to: Identify your current monthly income and expenses. Evaluate your spending habits. Monitor your overall spending. To develop a budget, you'll need to identify your current monthly income and expenses. Start out by adding up all of your income. In addition to your regular salary and wages, be sure to include other types of income, such as dividends, interest, and child support. Next, add up all of your expenses. If it makes it easier, you can divide your expenses into two categories: Fixed and discretionary. Fixed expenses include things that are necessities, such as housing, food, transportation, and clothing. Discretionary expenses include things like entertainment, vacations, and hobbies. You'll want to be sure to include out-of-pattern expenses (e.g., holiday gifts, car maintenance) in your budget as well. To help you stay on track with your budget:

Get in the habit of saving - try to make budgeting a part of your daily routine. Build occasional rewards into your budget. Examine your budget regularly and adjust/make changes as needed Setting and prioritizing financial goals The second step to creating and implementing a financial plan is to set and prioritize financial goals. Start out by making a list of things that you would like to achieve. It may help to separate the list into two parts: Short-term financial goals and long-term financial goals. Short-term goals may include making sure that your cash reserve is adequately funded or paying off outstanding credit card debt. As for long-term goals, you can ask yourself: Would you like to purchase a new home? Do you want to retire early? Would you like to start saving for your child's college education? Once you have established your financial goals, you'll want to prioritize them. Setting priorities is important, since it may not be possible for you to pursue all of your goals at once. You will have to decide which of your financial goals are most important to you (e.g., sending your child to college) and which goals you may have to place on the back burner (e.g., the beachfront vacation home you've always wanted).

Stakeholder meeting to discuss master plan The city of Reedsport and Parametrix will hold a stakeholder meeting on Monday, Nov. 17, to discuss a master plan for the Levee Loop Trail plan (LLTP). The project is made possible by a grant received from the Transportation and Growth Management Program. The LLTP offers a nonmotorized alternative for city residents and visitors to connect the city’s waterfront and downtown areas. According to a news release the idea “reduces the

reliance on motorized vehicles for trips to school, work, shopping and recreation and improving pedestrian safety along Highway’s 101 and 38.” The master plan will help identify a vision for a trail that is on top of the levee. “The vision is expected to be achieved by defining the trail alignment, addressing ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) standards, providing guidance for satisfying the USACE (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) levee recertification process, link-

ing the trail to key destinations supporting shorter and more convenient links,” the news release read, “including safety features, recognizing access points and trailheads, considering visual and use impacts to abutting property owners and outlining preliminary trail cost estimates and potential funding opportunities.” Parmetrix is a project consultant. The meeting is open to the public. It will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. in council chambers.

Loan FROM PAGE 1 off the debt, we have to go full term - which is 30 years.” The $12 million loan was taken out in 2010 for a 20year term. Wright said refinancing the loan for 30 years will not save the community on interest or fees but will, over time, reduce the annual amount spent toward debt service of the loan.

“That means we can keep our current rate structure the way it is,” he said. “We’re anticipating not having to increase over the life of the loan.” Wright said extending the loan, without the ability to increase or adjust fees, will require the city to show it has the revenues to cover the debt. He said, again, sewer rates should stay the same ... for now. SPECTACULAR CAPE COD STYLE

“They were supposed to go up a year and a half ago,” he said. “This saves future rate increases.” Wright said, currently, the city is paying about $850,000 in debt service. By refinancing, he said, it would lower the annual payout to about $550,000. “We have to save, not only to pay off our debt services,” he said, “the costs for materials and services, electricity those things always go up in the future and we have start banking some capital here, eventually, to think about replacing that plant in the future.” He said the city, currently, is meeting its debt obligation but isn’t putting anything into savings.

SCCF shouldn’t be in the grant business, SCCF members have said this fall. That would effectively turn SCCF into an organization similar to the Oregon Department of Education, which requests detailed grant proposals from districts statewide. Since most rural school districts don’t have staff dedicated to grant writing, they often miss out on competitive grants.

At the board’s Oct. 22 meeting, Coos Bay schools Superintendent Dawn Granger asked the board to consider school districts’ limited resources when it comes to grant writing. “We’re often asked to write competitive grants and we don’t have the people to do it,” Granger said. “The projects are more important than the grant.” Myrtle Point schools superintendent Bruce Shull echoed her concerns, saying when schools apply to ODE for competitive grants, “it’s more about the language, grammar and font.”

Reedsport’s cross country team poses for a photo before the district meet in Rogue River. The Braves finished the season at the meet, with most of the runners posting their best times of the season. The boys squad included junior Riley Smith, sophomore Cody Pedder, freshmen Devin Lichte and Clay Laskey and exchange student Jochen Puest. The lone girl was senior Cheyenne Lindberg. The team’s coaches hope this year has set a foundation for the program to grow next year and in the future after the school didn’t field a program during the 2013-14 school year.

Fall athletes earn all-league honors THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport’s volleyball and football team received numerous honors for their seasons when the Sunset Conference coaches gathered for the all-league meetings. Kaylynn Hixenbaugh was named league’s setter of the year for Reedsport’s volleyball team, which finished second in the league behind Myrtle Point. The senior was joined on the first team by a pair of junior teammates — middle blocker Mariah McGill and libero Alyssa Aguirre. Senior Britney Manicke and junior Julia Analco were named to the second team. Senior Isabel Lavigne was an

honorable mention selection. The Braves were denied a spot in the state tournament by Culver, which went on to finish third in the event Saturday at Redmond. Burns beat Grant Union for the state championship. Sunset Conference champion Myrtle Point lost both its games in the tournament — to runner-up Grant Union and fourth-place finisher Bonanza. In football, senior Cameron Winfield was named to the all-league first team for both offense and defense. Winfield was honored at tight end on offense and linebacker on defense. He was Reedsport’s only

first-team pick on offense, but was joined by junior lineman Egan Glover on the defensive first team. Senior Shallon Zehe was named the all-league kicker after his return to the team after missing the past few years with injuries prompted the Braves to start kicking extra points again instead of trying for two points every time. Glover also was second team on the offensive line and junior Joey Herr was second team at running back. On defense, junior Griffin Kaufmann was second team at linebacker, while senior Marquece Williams and sophomore Joe Hixenbaugh were second

The Braves also have nonleague games at Powers and Pacific and in the Coquille Winter Lake Classic before opening league play at home against Toledo on Dec. 15. Reedsport has one other league game, at Waldport on Dec. 17, before the winter break. Reedsport finishes the nonleague schedule with the annual Dune Country Classic, Dec. 19-20, which this year includes Oakridge, Sheridan and the Marshfield junior varsity teams. The Sunset Conference is using a triple-round robin

format for basketball, meaning the Braves play their five league foes three times each. This year’s schedule has the Braves with seven home games and eight road games in the league season. The Braves host Myrtle Point and Toledo twice each, while they visit Waldport, Gold Beach and Bandon twice. The wrestling team is scheduled to open the season at the Bay City Duals at Marshfield High School, a two-day tournament that starts Dec. 22. The Braves have one scheduled home match, Feb. 5.

team at defensive back. Jared Billings was an honorable mention pick at linebacker. Reedsport’s football team finished fourth in the final league standings. The team that edged the Braves out for the final playoff spot, Myrtle Point, was eliminated in the first round Saturday by Heppner, the same team that knocked out the Braves last year. Sunset Conference champion Gold Beach advanced to the quarterfinals with a 30-0 shutout win over Oakridge on Saturday and will host Regis in the quarterfinals this weekend. League runner-up Toledo was eliminated by Oakland.

Bowlers roll perfect games A pair of Reedsport bowlers had perfect games in the past few weeks at Umpqua Lanes. Mike Andrade had a perfect game in the Tuesday Swiss league last week. Joe Huffman’s 300 game came in the Men’s Trio league on Oct. 31. In the process, he also picked up the difficult 46-7-10 split. Results of six of the leagues are in the Umpqua Post this week.

Let’s keep you out of trouble while fishing for coho I would like to cover some of the easiest ways to get in trouble while fishing the three coastal lakes for coho salmon — now that all three lakes have fair numbers of coho in them. (1) Not knowing the areas restricted to fishing for coho which includes the Siltcoos River below U.S. Highway 101, Tenmile Creek below the bridge just below South Tenmile Lake on Hilltop Drive, the entire channel connecting South and North Tenmile lakes and the Tahkenitch Lake outlet west of Highway 101. (2) Fishing with two rods on Siltcoos, Tahkenitch and Tenmile lakes. Even though you paid $17 for a second rod endorsement it is never legal in moving water or while fishing for salmon — in fact on the three coastal lakes with coho fisheries that second rod endorsement becomes completely invalid when the salmon season starts on Oct. 1 — even though there are no salmon in those

lakes at that time. OUTDOORS watersheds including Dog Lake. (3) Keeping rainbow or cutDog Lake is a special fishing spot AND MORE throat trout, steelhead — or any that I haven’t spent nearly enough other fish (except coho salmon) out time getting to know.

The ODFW reported that they netted some redear sunfish in the lake — if true, then Dog Lake is sure to become a front runner when it comes to replacing the state record redear of one pound 15.5 ounces from Reynolds Pond with an even larger fish. It will be a shame if Dog Lake and other southeast Oregon fishing spots suffer severe negative impacts from environmental malfeasance occurring in another state. Ryan Ramsey of Veneta reported that he caught a tagged Dungeness crab last Sunday morning while crabbing straight across the Umpqua River from the entrance to Winchester Bay’s East Boat Basin. The crab’s tag number was 272. The good news is that the crab survived several months after being caught, tagged and released and was almost certainly delicious. The bad news is that Ryan caught the crab a few months too late to possibly win $1,000 with it.
