SCDC grant to help processing facilities BY GAIL ELBER The Umpqua Post
COOS BAY — The South Coast Development Council has received a grant to help local meat and fish producers get the facilities and equipment they need to sell their products close to home. WealthWorks, a group of nonprofits and agencies that supports economic development, has given SCDC and two partner organizations in Curry and Douglas coun-
ties $375,000 to spend over two years. The goal, said SCDC development assistant Michelle Martin, is “to have a viable business or businesses that we walk away from and they’re successful.” SCDC and its partners, NeighborWorks Umpqua and Curry Watershed Partnership, were chosen over five other applicants. All six got initial smaller grants to survey their community about what it needed. SCDC and its partners focused
on ranchers and fishermen, most of whose product is sold out of the area. For example, local organic beef producers must send their cattle to Mohawk Valley Meats in Marcola, near Springfield, which doesn’t distribute the meat back here. Facilities for processing meat and fish closer to home would make it easier for Coos, Curry and Douglas county residents to buy local meat and fish. They’d also open up opportunities for ranchers
and fishermen to develop products for other markets. What the new business will be like depends on what local producers decide they need, Martin said. Ranchers might form a cooperative meat processing facility. Existing trucking firms might get new equipment. A privately owned cold-storage plant might spring up. The WealthWorks grant is only part of a group of food-related projects that SCDC is nurturing.
For instance, the council is looking at ways to improve Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (”food stamps”) beneficiaries’ access to fresh produce. Staff are studying a project in Newport that multiplies SNAP dollars at the local farmers’ market. For every SNAP dollar shoppers spend at the market, they get a few more. The money that funds Newport’s project is raised by a lemonade stand at

GSD sends bills with new rates BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

A pumpkin starts its aerial journey at Reedsport on Thursday afternoon. It is moving fast enough that the people are still watching the trebuchet as the gourd starts its arch through the air.
It’s all about the trebu-chet
The trebuchet at Reedsport Community Charter School is primed and loaded with the weights lifted in the air Thursday afternoon. Students from the school sat in the stands to watch the team load and launch pumpkins on the football field. They tossed two before the arm broke.
Confluence leader sought The Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce has a number of events throughout the year. The chamber is looking for a volunteer chairperson/ coordinator for one of them. The chair will plan and execute the annual Confluence celebration in downtown Reedsport in February. The celebration includes wine, beer, seafood and music. Tents are set up on Winchester Avenue and the celebration also uses the Reedsport Community Center for vendors and music. Anyone interested should contact the chamber at 541-2713495 or 1-800-247-2155. Phyllis Dever, Debby Turner and Levi Allen chaired the event earlier this year.
Pumpkin chucker tosses gourd 250 feet, lands with a thud, no bass THE UMPQUA POST It was supposed to be a head-to-head competition. School against school. Machine against machine. Pumpkin against pumpkin. In the end, the dates didn’t line up and Reedsport Community Charter School held a separate “Pumpkin’ Chuckin’” vs. Marshfield High School. Marshfield threw first at Mahaffy Pumpkin Patch in Allegany on Oct. 26. Marshfield was the only team and their 18-foot catapult threw a basketballsized pumpkin 155 feet. Reedsport shop teacher Guy Marchione said they just couldn’t make the Oct.26 event, but did come to Allegany the next weekend. “The competition with Marshfield was set up to determine who threw the
reweighed pumpkins the farthest,” Marchione said. “Marshfield had their trebuchet already built, tested and in place from the previous year. I told the owners that we were still in the testing stage and would not be able to make the date Marshfield was there. We decided to let Marshfield throw that weekend and then come back the following weekend to throw with us. We showed up but Marshfield didn’t.’” Marchione said it was never supposed to be a head-to-head battle. “The competition was about who threw the farthest, not that we did it on the same day,” Marchione said. “Marshfield threw 155 feet, while Reedsport threw 250 feet.” Marchione reported his students built

County hires CB firm to work with GSD THE UMPQUA POST A Coos Bay firm has been awarded a contract to do engineering and design work for the Gardiner Sanitary District wastewater treatment system, including replacing a leaky pipe at the bottom of the Umpqua River. The Dyer Partnership Engineers and Planners, Inc. was awarded a $358,500 contract by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. County planning director Robb Paul explained the award. “It’s part of a grant for the rebuilding of the Gardiner sanitary system,” he said. “We went out for an RFP (request for proposals) and received three proposals back - and Dyer was the best qualified.” Commissioner Susan Morgan,

The Gardiner Sanitary District board held a special meeting on Nov. 14 to discuss rates. The city of Reedsport has begun including sewer bills with water bills and some residents were unhappy with the rates. Reedsport supplies Gardiner water and also treats Gardiner’s wastewater. A recent agreement meant the city would take over billing. Along with the Reedsport agreement came approval of a rate study earlier this year that set rates for district patrons. The former board was recalled in June. Those actions meant some Gardiner customers were hit with big bills. One father and son in the district were hit with a $380 bill. Their bill, according to one board member, should have been $120. That unit had a water leak earlier this year which affected the new bill. The base rate is supposed to be $60, with increases based on usage. The rates are supposed to average out to $141 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU).

District had budgeted too small an amount “The rate study is what is causing a lot of the headaches right now,” board member Mack Holman said at the Nov. 14 meeting. “The rate study did come up with a sum that said that we would pay for all of our expenses and, yet, there were some real problems with that.” The district also pays Reedsport for debt service to the treatment plant, built in 2010. Holman said the district had budgeted too small an amount. The district has to raise enough to pay its debts and, Holman said, the rate study and approved budget failed to do that. “It has us paying, instead of $96,560 for our yearly payments to Reedsport, the budget had it down for only $9,000,” Holman explained. “Obviously, that wasn’t realistic. We were on the hook to the DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) for $50,000, roughly, and they had us budgeting for $35,826.” The board, which was appointed in July, has been looking at ways to cut costs to the district. “From the beginning of July through September, we were running a $27,000 deficit,” Holman explained. “And, more to come.” Holman said the new system has people moving out of Gardiner. One report estimated the district has a 33 percent vacancy rate, out of 114 available homes and

School board holds two meetings The Reedsport school board will hold two meetings today, Nov. 19, at school district offices. The first meeting will be a work session to talk about the search for a new, fulltime superintendent. Interim Superintendent Dennis Friedrich has committed to serving one year in the position and has also committed to helping the district in its search. The work session will begin at 6 p.m. The regular board meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. The agenda includes reports from the superintendent,a Reedsport Community Charter School Administrator Laura Davis, certified and classified staff, district business director Cheri McElravey and Highland Elementary School Principal Beckie Lupton. Action items include Oregon School Board Association elections and a policy update. Discussion items include staff surveys, an update on the superintendent search and the OSBA convention. Community comment will also be taken. The next meeting will be Dec. 17.
GSD apartments. That father and son? “(They) gave notice,” Holman said. “(They’re) leaving. “That house is now $481 for sewer for anybody that wants to rent that house.” Holman said the district would like to change the ordinance. Reedsport City Manager Jonathan Wright, who has spent hours with GSD negotiating contracts, attended the Nov. 14 meeting. “The rate study kind of sets a baseline,” Wright explained on how the billing is done. “It’s, basically, the best available information you have.” He suggested a solution, changing the way billing is done until the district can authorize a new rate study. “Those are adjustments the district could do, by resolution,” he explained. “We just need something in writing that says, ‘This is how we want to do this,’ so we can carry this out for you.” The city will help draw up a resolution that will set billing based on previous month’s water usage, rather than three-month average set in January-March ... a method called “actual use,” That resolution could come this week. The GSD will hold its regular Nov. 29 meeting that will also include continuation of a discussion on a DEQ loan repayment, a proposed contract amendment with the city of Reedsport, discussion on who will provide maintenance services and proposed meeting with consultants on work to repair and upgrade the district’s sewer lines, including an underwater pipe at the Umpqua River.

Exposed pipe can dump raw sewage into river who serves as the board’s liaison to western Douglas County, said it was part of a Community Development Block Grant spearheaded by the county. “As you know,” she explained, “the Gardiner wastewater system has been under an enforcement order by the Department of Environmental Quality for a number of years because the pipe that connects the system, under the Umpqua River, to the Reedsport sewage system has been in place for so long that the waters have eroded the bottom of the river and the pipe is now exposed and breaks all the time; dumps raw sewage in the river.” She said Gardiner is not an incorporated area and the county needed to apply for grants to upgrade the system.
“They don’t have a lot of financial capacity to fix their system,” Morgan said. “One of the restrictions around block grants is that they have to be applied for by a governmental entity. “The county is actually the first level of government for those folks. So, we have a memorandum of understanding agreement with the Gardiner Sanitary District board about how we’ll operate this grant. Part of is we will actually do all of the grant work and will ask for their concurrence on the things that we do.” The Infrastructure Finance Authority, a division of the Oregon Business Development Department secured two grants for the county. One $2 million grant will upgrade the sewer system and another $500,000 grant would be used to replace the leaky pipe. “When this is all said and done,” Morgan said, “the citizens of the Gardiner area will have a new collection system and a new delivery system to the Reedsport sewage treatment plant that
will all be paid for with grant money so it won’t become a financial burden to them.” Interim commissioner Mike Winters had a question about what the system will do, once completed. “Is this going to be designed for future expansion or do you anticipate any future expansion,” Winters asked. “It will be designed for future expansion,” Paul said. “There is vacant property in Gardiner; the mill site.” The former International Paper mill site has been unused since the mill closed in 1999. “The pipes under the river are being sized for that additional sewage that may be in the future,” Paul said. “Is there any anticipation that the planners of this project ... to have ‘X’ amount of new clients 10 years down the road,” Winters asked. “How do you do something like that?” “We just have to consider the current zoning of the property,” Paul said, “and look at what that might bring in the future, as far as
the amount of sewage that’s going to be produced.” He said the zoning is currently industrial, but could change in the future. “It’s a little bit of a guess on what’s going to happen on that,” Paul said. “A worst case scenario is that it redevelops into residential ... it becomes a bunch of new homes. It probably won’t because of the river right there, the flood plain and that sort of thing. We kind of have to make some assumptions that will remain industrial.” Morgan said an alternatives analysis showed the Reedsport treatment plant could handle additional capacity. “The Reedsport sewer treatment plant had recently undergone an expansion,” she said. “When you look at the current use of the treatment plant, and capacity of the treatment plant, there’s somewhere between 30 and 40 percent of capacity that’s not being used right now.”

collaboration was key to the success of this grant. Trying to maximize their chances, SCDC and Curry Watersheds had already partnered on their application for the initial study grant. Two weeks before the deadline for the big grant, they approached NeighborWorks in Douglas County. WealthWorks liked the tri-county collaboration so much that it gave them $75,000 more than the $300,000 originally promised. Food projects like this fit in with the goals of WealthWorks, whose philosophy is to create wealth in communities rather than encouraging outside development. The organization was started by the Ford Foundation, although many other national and regional partners have since joined it.

THE UMPQUA POST A quartet of Reedsport graduates have had good seasons in their respective sports this year, three of them for Southwestern Oregon Community College. Freshman Gabby White helped the Lakers reach the NWAC volleyball tournament with a win over Mount Hood in a tiebreaker match at Gresham on Sunday. White had a team-best 11 kills in the match, which the Lakers won in four games. SWOCC now faces Tacoma in the first round of the double-elimination NWAC tournament. For the season, White ranked second for the Lakers with 107 kills. She also was second in solo blocks with 18 and total blocks with 32. She had 12 kills in two different matches — against Chemeketa and against College of the Siskiyous.

Consider Saunders and Empire lakes as a trout option With the arrival of colder air temperatures, fishing pressure on virtually all fish species has undergone a major dropoff. Some of the options that are being ignored are: Ocean bottomfishing, fishing the surf for redtailed surfperch, fishing the jetty for bottomfish, fishing for largemouth bass and yellow perch at Tenmile lakes or fishing for planted trout at Saunders or Empire lakes. Saunders and Empire lakes were last stocked with trout in early October and many, if not most of the trout have been caught, but there should be enough to merit a fishing trip for an optimistic angler. Eel and Tenmile Lakes which have native, carryover and searun trout might be a better bet. Surprisingly good last week and sure to get better, according to the folks at Snowy River Mercantile, a hunting and fishing tackle retailer located in Wells Creek — is

streams is very dependent on water clarity and stream levels. Rich, a friend of mine who moved to Florence from Montana, is the only angler I know who targets the yellow perch in our area during the winter months. His favorite period is from Thanksgiving through February and his favorite areas are mud or soft-bottomed flats in water at least 15 feet deep. The perch he catches, especially the females, are at their chunkiest and a 12-inch perch taken during the winter months could easily weigh a pound. Another acquaintance of mine used to target brown bullheads during the winter months at Tenmile Lakes. He fished with half a nightcrawler at night in water at least 15 feet deep and caught enough brown bullheads while enduring many cold winter nights that he often referred to himself as “Mr. Catfish.”

Pot dispensaries the topic at parks committee meeting City manager waits for word from state STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post
R EEDSPORT — Now that voters in Oregon have approved recreational marijuana comes the question about whether there might be pot shops in Reedsport. City manager Jonathan Wright says he’s already been approached about
the possibility of opening a shop. He reported to the city’s parks and beautification committee on Nov. 12. He explained the city could develop rules about where such shops could be located and in which zones they could be sited which, he hoped, would not be on the city’s main streets. “I would like that type of activity, maybe, occurring off the main path,” he said. Wr i g h t s a i d m o n ey would probably be a factor on whether a shop is
brought to the city. “This guy was very excited,” Wright said of the unknown citizen. “Because he has friends that have a marijuana dispensary — medical — and they make $250,000 a year. He thinks recreational will be even better.” He said it may not be attractive in some parts of the city. “Visions of people lined up at the door, or sitting on the sidewalk ... we understand this is something that the state has accepted, so
how do we minimize those impacts,” Wright said. “Let’s put them in areas that need development.” The Oregon Liquor Control Commission must still develop rules for how pot will be distributed. The OLCC’s Christie Scott said, in a phone interview with The Umpqua Post, the measure allows for what are called “time, place, and manner” rules. “Very similar to alcoh o l ,” s h e sa i d . “ T h ey can have time, place and manner regulations in
their jurisdiction that are more strict then what the state law is. I don’t know what the state law is, yet, because we haven’t gone through that process.
