Schools whittling down superintendent choices The Reedsport School District could have a new superintendent by the first of June. The school board is going through the process of reviewing applications and should name finalists Wednesday, May 28. The board is seeking to replace Jim Thomas, whose two-year contract expires June 30. He told the board he was stepping aside to allow the district to find a part-time superintendent and full-time Highland Elementary School principal. Thomas filled both roles. “We have seven applicants,” said Rebecca Wilkes, board secretary and administrative assistant. “The board members and admin-
istration are all reviewing the applications and we’re having an executive session Wednesday to narrow it down to three.” The following night there will be a meeting to allow the public to meet and quiz the candidates. The meeting is May 29 from 6-9 p.m. at the high school, according to Wilkes. It will include a round robin for the finalists. “We’re going to have three rooms,” Wilkes said. “One room is going to be for the public. One room is going to be for staff. And one room is going to be for the board and administrative (team). So, each area will have a chance to speak to each candidate.”
It’s expected the school’s library, auditorium and Braves Center will be used as the three rooms. Questions will be developed at the May 28 board meeting. “Everybody will get a general guideline of questions that they’ll go through with each candidate,” Wilkes said. There could be lots of activity after the Thursday night meeting. “At 9 p.m., (consultant) Michael Lasher, and his team, are going to tally everyone’s responses from all three groups,” Wilkes said. “We are setting a public meeting for 9 p.m., if they want to deliberate and make a
PORT DREDGING
decision that night. “ That deliberation is expected to take place in executive session. A decision would come in open session. If the board doesn’t make a decision that night, another meeting could come at 9 a.m. Friday, May 30. The names of the candidates, and where they’re from, probably won’t come until the night of the Wednesday board meeting. Thomas may have reapplied for the position. He had indicated, at a board meeting in April, that he would be interested in being an interim superintendent for a year. The board did not approve of that plan.

One step closer to funding BY THOMAS MORIARTY The Umpqua Post
COOS BAY — Small ports on the South Coast are one step closer to getting a long-term guarantee of much-needed dredging funds. Federal lawmakers filed a conference report Thursday reconciling House and Senate versions of legislation that would guarantee dredging funds for almost a decade. “With this legislation, we will ensure that harbor maintenance dollars are spent on harbor maintenance,” Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, said in a press conference Thursday. The bill, known as the Water Resources Reform and
Development Act of 2014, would force 100 percent utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund. The fund, fed by an import tax on marine shipments, is intended to be used for regular dredging of shipping channels. The Congressman has criticized Congress in recent years for what he’s described as inappropriate use of the fund, which has left small ports like Port Orford in a precarious position. Port Orford hasn’t been regularly dredged for several years, and the sediment buildup has forced fishermen to only launch their boats at high tide. Ports ranging from Brookings-Harbor to the Port of Siuslaw have also been affected
by the lack of maintenance dredging. The House bill would guarantee that small ports would receive at least 10 percent of annual intended for dredging for eight years. The bill’s movement in conference comes on the heel’s of a March announcement that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would allocate $4.5 million to dredge the small ports in 2014. The reconciled bill is expected to be considered by the House this week. Reporter Thomas Moriarty can be reached at 541-269-1222, ext. 240, or by email at thomas.moriarty@theworldlink.com. Follow him on Twitter: @ThomasDMoriarty.
Kitzhaber praises efforts to acquire funds for ports Governor John Kitzhaber praised action in the U.S. Congress regarding dredging and maintaining small coastal ports. Funding was included in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014. “This decision is a huge step to help stabilize the availability of dredging funds for Oregon’s coastal communities,” Kitzhaber said in a news release. “Commercial and recreational boating and fishing and small businesses along Oregon’s coast all rely on predictable dredging of these ports for their economic well-being. This bill will help create jobs while improving safety in communities up and down the Oregon coast." Meanwhile, Rep. Caddy McKeown, D–Coos Bay, chair of the Oregon Coastal Caucus, also applauded the inclusion of dedicated funding for dredging and maintaining small coastal ports “One in every six Oregon jobs is tied to a port,” McKeown said in a news release. “This decision is
an important step to ensure that commercial and recreational fishing, ocean research, and international shipping will continue to play a key role in Oregon’s coastal economies.” McKeown said the WRRDA will regulate how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may use the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund which, she said, is the traditional source of federal funds for dredging and harbor maintenance. As written, she said, the bill will guarantee the nation's small ports receive at least 10 percent of annual dredging funds for the next eight years. At current funding levels, this means approximately $90 million annually for small ports nationwide. “This bill will provide the stability that coastal businesses need, help create jobs, and improve safety in communities along the Oregon coast,” McKeown said.

Gardiner Sanitary recall election June 17 BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post
The recall election for all five Gardiner Sanitary District Board members will be June 17. Only the petitioner, Gardiner business owner Mack Holman, will have a statement on the ballot. Jackie Degman, Dennis Conger, Marc Fullhart, Cathy Kent and Charlotte Hinshaw are the focus of the recall. They did not provide statements. Holman collected the 12 signatures needed to place the recall on the ballot. “The deadline was May 13,” said Douglas County Clerk Patricia Hitt. “We received no response from any (board members) and I am not aware that any have
The Gardiner Sanitary District board and the public heard the numbers after a rate study from a local engineering firm.

Going forward, they had five days from the date of our notice to them to either resign or supply our office with a ‘statement of justification.’” None of that was provided to the clerk’s office by any of the five candidates. Hitt says it may have just been a misunderstanding. “We did not have a deadline — a specific deadline in our letter to them,” Hitt said. “We could have been a little clearer on that matter. But, we can’t change anything at this point because the law is the law and there were only five days.” Holman has said the recall comes because he doesn’t believe the board has been open about

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Most flood insurance is backed by federal program Having read the “Federal land ownership is federal land overreach” letter to the editor as insurance professionals we felt it would be helpful to respond to the community with factual information. Fullhart Insurance Agency has agents with over 100 years of combined insurance experience, along with annual continuing education to keep abreast of all new insurance regulations and programs. This allows us to provide the best products with the lowest cost and best coverage options for our customers. Specifically concerning flood insurance, we would like to offer the following. Approximately 95 percent of all flood insurance is purchased through the Nation Flood Insurance Program. Many carriers offer that product line, but regardless of the company name of the policy, flood coverage is purchased through NFIP, which is a processing center for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where all regulations and costs are determined. To provide the best coverage and cost for our clients, we work those markets. Flood insurance rates are the same for every company selling NFIP policies. The majority of the buildings located in the city of Reedsport are NFIP eligible. Other than NFIP, there are a very few insurance carriers that would offer flood insurance. However, in may instances they offer small amounts of coverage and have higher deductibles. Also, in reading the fine print, you may find some companies don’t offer coverage in flood zone V and now require the same elevation certificate as
FEMA in flood zones A, where the property is actually located. This can substantially increase the premium for those policies. Carriers such as Lloyd’s of London are nonadmitted carriers. That means they are not subject to the same protections afforded to the policyholders of admitted companies in the state of Oregon. Some lending institutions will not accept policies from nonadmitted insurance companies. Federal law requires banks to secure flood insurance on all loans for the structures in the 100-year flood plain. NFIP regulates this action. In our professional opinion, the NFIP policy is the one which best serves the public in the majority of the cases. Flood insurance can be very complicated an the rules change frequently. We strongly recommend that you seek the advice and counsel of a license insurance agent with extensive experience in selling and servicing flood insurance policies. Fullhart Insurance Agency Reedsport
Reasons for the recall We in Gardiner want some control over our sewer district. With over 70 percent of the population under the poverty level we want the lowest costs for our sewer. We are now faced with one of, if not the highest, rates in the state. We are now told we will be paying on the average $140 a month for sewer, plus a 3 percent increase every year. GSD has always blamed Reedsport for our high cost, but the new rate study shows all costs of paying our share of the plant and treatment of our waste is almost matched by Gardiner's cost of operations to just ship it
to Reedsport. The study shows how inefficient the district is. GSD will always take the most expensive option. Reedsport offered us their license at no cost, we must pay for the Winchester Bay operator instead. The person checking the meters could be licensed to limit costs, but doesn't want to. We have been offered free use of the special camera to inspect lines from Reedsport, instead we pay for half for a new camera with Winchester Bay. GSD was feeling flush, they gave a 15 percent raise to the meter reader and a raise to the operator. Two months ago the GSD sent a letter to property owners claiming a DEQ loan was not due until everything was over. Not true, it was “over” when the International Paper bid failed, and we will begin paying for it now. The board was trying to hide the huge cost of repayment over five years. The thing that is truly awful is that the board still plans to drag us along in their delusional dream of getting the IP plant. Imagine. We have a 20-year obligation to pay for the Reedsport plant, we have already paid four years, we have a 10 year contract, and they speak of switching to the IP plant after that. So, we have paid almost three-quarters of our cost of the Reedsport plant, finish the next six years and we are done and lower our costs, but GSD wants, instead, to borrow millions for a plant the DEQ says is worn out, does not have enough water to operate it, and would probably not qualify for a permit. Then watch our rates soar. There is a reason for the recall. Mack Holman Gardiner
Many parts in Memorial Day events BY JIM WELLS Gardiner-Reedsport Lions Club
A dedicated group of local volunteers have come together to make sure that our traditional Memorial Day Celebration would be revived. The core of these volunteers is the active veterans of the VFW and the American Legion. The Reedsport-Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce has been very supportive and has contributed funds for publicity and marketing. Bobbi Unger and Bob del Re have loaned their experience and leadership to the committee’s work. City manager Jonathan Wright and police chief Duane Wisehart have been especially helpful in working with the Oregon Department of Transportation in securing the traditional “Fleet Days” parade route. A great deal of planning has been done to accommodate the staging area along 22nd Avenue, the route down 101 and the disbanding of the parade downtown near the Hahn Park War Memorial. City police and maintenance workers will provide much of the staffing to make things run smoothly. Preceding the actual Memorial Day activities is a benefit breakfast Saturday morning, May 24, at the Masonic Lodge on Winchester Ave.
A special Memorial Weekend opportunity to visit the Hinsdale Gardens, thanks to the ”Friends of Hinsdale Garden,” is available to locals and visitors. The leadoff event of the celebration is a Veterans Dinner at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday, May 25. All veterans and active-service personnel will be honored as guests from 4-6:45 p.m. All are invited to enjoy the buffet prepared by “patriotic volunteers” for a contribution. Diane Essig is your host and organizer of this tribute to our veterans. Following the Veterans Dinner will be the Patriotic Concert held next door in the Pacific Auditorium. The concert will feature “Strange Brew” combo playing a mix of “Music Americana.” The mostly local group is a staple at Jitterbug ‘N’ Java and performs in many regional venues. The Reedsport Community Choir, under the leadership of Amy Pedder, will perform “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, “This is My Country”, and “America the Beautiful.” A fun and robust “sing along” will follow including favorite oldies like “Yankee Doodle”,“This is My Land,” and “It’s a Grand Old Flag.” We will honor each of the branches of the United States Armed forces with a video and the playing of each branch’s military song. The
lyrics of the military songs will be projected above the stage. We invite the audience to sing along as we honor each branch of the United States Armed Forces. We would like those that served in each branch to stand during the playing of “their” song: U.S. Army,“The Army Keeps Rolling Along”; U.S. Navy,“Anchors Aweigh”; U.S. Coast Guard “Semper Praetus”; U.S. Air Force,“Off We Go into the Wild Blue Yonder”; and U.S. Marines, “Halls of Montezuma” Monday, May 26th, Memorial Day, is a day to honor the fallen and celebrate our tremendous good fortune in being Americans. At 10 a.m. the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars will hold a ceremony at the Masonic Cemetery on Longwood Drive. The public is invited to this tribute. The Memorial Day Parade will form along 22nd Avenue at 12:30 p.m. Army Ranger Command Sergeant Major Daryl Thies and his wife Charlene Nehl Thies will serve as Grand Marshalls along with Vietnam Veteran Robert Bozman. Daryl & his wife Charlene are graduates of Reedsport High School. A wide variety of floats, marchers, fire trucks, student groups, and car groups will make this one of our larger parades.“Lady Liberty” and “Uncle Sam” will ply the
parade route interacting with the spectators and will be available for pictures during and after the parade with kids and families. The Parade will culminate at the Hahn Park War Memorial. A solemn Memorial Service will start at the War Memorial at approximately 1:45 p.m. pending the culmination of the parade. The service will begin with the raising of a new 20by-30-foot flag contributed by the Gardiner-Reedsport Lions Club. The service will continue with musical numbers by the Church of God Choir, an address by Command Major Sgt. Daryl Thies, the laying of wreaths, and the tolling of the bells by the Reedsport Fire Department. Following the service, The United States Coast Guard will have staff present to give tours and instruction on the multi-purposes of their watercraft that was in the parade. It has been my pleasure to work with people like Russ Ekstrom, Kim Cady, Bob Cline, Ron and Margo Thompson, Darlene Ash, Ryan and Linda Barr, Ike Launstein, Cindy Hinton, Sam & Mari Millage. They have been there from the beginning and made it all happen. Many other volunteers throughout the community have also contributed. Thank you for serving your community.
Breathe better with help from hospital BY MATT BOLIN Respiratory Therapist
Lower Umpqua Hospital’s Better Breathers Club is an American Lung Association support group for individuals with chronic lung disease, their families and caregivers. The group is currently the longest continuously running Better Breathers group in the state of Oregon. They meet the last Friday of each month at 11:30 a.m. Better Breather, Hellen Collop, has been a member for more than 10 years. She states,
“For me it has saved my life. It is hard to say but I don’t smoke or drink but I enjoy being there because everyone there has a different view of their problems. We are not in competition with each other because we all know what is wrong with us. Better Breathers gives you the tools to work with to improve your health.” Better Breather, Bernie Sabblut, states “I know now what I have to do to keep breathing, how to take my medication, and how to breathe correctly. I feel as though I’ve gained 10-15 years

of quality life back from the Better Breathers program. I would recommend it to anyone which I often do.” Anna Plov, another Better Breather, commented with “Better Breathers has taught me how to take better take care of myself, how I should take my medications, and how to treat myself under the doctors’ instructions.” The goal of the support group is to improve the quality of life and functional status for members by providing diseasespecific education and emotional connection. This may prevent episodes requiring medical care, thereby reducing the health, economic and social burden of lung disease. The objective is to provide individuals with the education and skills needed to achieve the highest level or function given the severity of their lung disease; teach members and their families the basic concepts and techniques of self-care including coping skills; introduce new concepts in the care and treatment options for people with chronic lung disease; provide an opportunity for members to share ideas and solutions to their common problems on a ongoing basis ; and promote awareness about warning signs, symptoms, and when to seek help. Typical meeting topics are: respiratory medications, avoiding the moments that take your breath away, lung exercises, in home safety, stress
management, and Hospice care. The hospital’s respiratory department is comprised of a staff with over 65 total years of experience in respiratory care, with staffing available 24 hours a day for critical care, and partners with Reedsport Medical Clinic, Oregon Cardiology, and Dunes Family Health care to provide seamless care for the community. Outpatient services include pulmonary function testing to determine severity and type of lung disease, exercise cardiac stress testing to monitor cardiac events, Holter monitoring to record continuous heart monitoring for 24-48 hours, event monitoring to record a cardiac problems and overnight oximetry to monitor and record oxygen saturations while sleeping. Ventilator care, patient education on specific lung diseases, medication administration, and diagnostic methods to assist in diagnosing patient ailments are part of inpatient care the cardiopulmonary department is responsible for. LUH’s Respiratory Department personnel are always available to help you breathe a little easier. The Better Breathers Club has always been proactive in providing a way for patients to take ownership of their healthcare needs – they fit right in with the changing face of health care.

Big weekend in store Here comes the summer season — barreling our way, and bringing all the things we love along with it! Fresh veggies and fruit, parades with ponies, singing and a big homemade dinner! What’s not to love?
Sink your teeth into this! Be there for the first day, and load up on all the things we’ve been hankering for all these years! On Friday, May 23, promptly at 9 a.m., the invisible doors will swing WHAT’S UP? open at the Reedsport Farmers Market, located on the corner of Fifth Street and state Highway 38. Market Organizer Kathi Wall-Meyer has really outdone herself this time. You won’t believe how many vendors are bringing the Nancie biggest and the best they Hammond have to offer. They’ll be unloading truckloads from up Smith River, Scottsburg, Roseburg and the Valley. It won’t just be a few scrubby organic squash to pick from, there will be giant heads of lettuce and broccoli, heirloom tomatoes, berries from Marquam Hill, corn, onions and pears! In addition to the fresh fruits and vegetables, vendors will have honey, fresh eggs, local grass fed beef, jams, jellies and bread. There may even be some high quality crafters set up, and some foods like hummus and salsas. On the way out — the market closes at 3 p.m. — don’t forget to pick up a gigantic, lovely bouquet of flowers from the Chang Family Farm. How did Kathi get so many vendors? Well, it’s an alliance with Markets of Umpqua, and that means tons of great stuff every single week, all the way through October. Be sure to use the market every week. Not only for your health, but so we will continue to support this fabulous addition to our community and keep it here. By the way, there is an extra booth there to be shared by local nonprofits to share information about upcoming events, to sell raffle tickets or any use that requires a kiosk to work from — at no charge.
cy. He was spit on by fellow Americans who didn’t believe in the war. Yes, that really happened. From then on, Gary and Diane went out of their way to make sure they did what they could to counter-balance that awful behavior. Over the years the couple belonged to the HOG club, organizing and carrying out a ride and picnic for veterans in Roseburg. They attended reunions with others who served on the USS Porterfield. After Gary passed, Diane looked for a new way to honor the men and women who serve the country, and found it in the kitchen. This year she has a lot of help, including lasagna from the Schooner Café, Kitty’s kitchen’s famous carrot cake, specialties from Double DDs, and even dishes from the LUH kitchen, plus pies, pies, pies and more pies. Diane will be cooking a ham and side dishes to go with all of it. No one will be going home hungry! While enjoying the dinner, veterans and family members are encouraged to share stories of the time they served. Following the dinner, the Community Choir will make its debut performance at Pacific Auditorium. The volunteers have been practicing for weeks and will regale the audience with a wide variety of patriotic tunes. Sing along with your favorites. There is no charge for the concert but donations will be gladly accepted. The concert is from 7 to 8:30. Be sure to clap long and loud for your neighbors! Monday is the big one! The parade starts at 12:30, setting out from the Reedsport Community Charter School parking lot. The parade will go down U.S. Highway 101 to Winchester Ave., winding up at Hahn Park. Sounds like there will be a little bit of everything in the parade, including horses, historic characters, kids, Coast Guard, and all sorts of private entries. Don’t miss it! Directly following the parade there will be a memorial ceremony presided over by Mayor Keith Tymchuk and featuring some special guests. There will be music following the event so get comfortable and stay for awhile. Bring a lawn chair! Grab lunch from the parking lot at the Eagles Club and make a day of it.

Tickling the keys Memorial Day on the way I’m so impressed by the amount of Memorial Day events a group of volunteers from various organizations have been able to come up with. The group has been largely led by Jim and Mary Ann Wells, and they’ve done a wonderful job of bringing all the right people to the table, so be sure to thank them when you see them over the weekend. The weekend kicks off with the Farmers Market. What could be more all American than shopping the fresh fruit and vegetable stands, and supporting the people who grow the food! On Saturday morning, get up early to enjoy the day and start if off right with breakfast at the Masonic Lodge. All the standard fare will be dished up between 7 and 11 a.m., leaving you plenty of time for vacation weekend pursuits like croquet and a backyard barbecue. It’s for a good cause too — the Masons breakfasts are not only tasty, they fund several youth groups and two $500 scholarships annually. Take a drive to Elkton on Saturday afternoon. The Butterfly Pavilion and Elkton Community Education Center is opening for the season with a gigantic rummage sale. Sunday is all about a home cooked meal for veterans. It takes place at the Presbyterian Church between 4 and 7 p.m. and is open to everyone. The dinner is free for veterans and others are asked to make a donation. There are many, many people and companies involved in making the free dinner something special. Local restaurants donate their specialties, and there are donations of groceries and cash to make sure nothing will be lacking from the delicious homestyle meal. The Community Veterans Dinner was started by Diane Essig three years ago. Special occasions mean food to Diane, and cooking up a meal for a hundred isn’t new to her. So, she thought a dinner to show the vets they are appreciated and respected for the service to our country was one way to honor them. Diane’s husband Gary, a Vietnam vet, was very involved in veterans activities. He remembered coming home from a harrowing hitch, not to be treated like a hero, or even thanked for putting up his life for democra-

An internationally known composer, pianist and recording artist is coming to town on Wednesday, May 28. Scott Cossu is an amazing pianist, sharing his blend of Jazz, classical and ethnic sounds in a way you haven’t heard before. He was New Age before we all knew what New Age was and hundreds have followed in his fingerprints in the keys. His ethnic influences are coming more to the forefront in recent productions. He describes his music as “heavy mental” or “Cosmic National Geographic” when asked about his eclectic influences. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to see Scott perform in a small venue. The concert has been made possible by a donation in memory of a recently deceased member of the Coyne family. Condolences to the family, and thanks for sharing this gift with the community. What a nice tribute.
A display of local student artwork will grace the Reedsport Branch Library beginning Tuesday, May 20. The art is a traveling display, most recently shown at Umpqua Valley Arts in Roseburg. On Tuesday between 5:30 and 6:30, a special open house with refreshments kicks off the showing.

Something neat This is not really enough to be news, but I think it’s so fab I can’t help mentioning it. Did you know there’s a doo-hickey at the pool that spins your swimsuit dry? Well, there is. After you’re out of the pool and into regular clothes, you’re left dragging around that soggy suit. But not anymore. The handy little device is only about the size of a breadbox, located next to the office. You put a wet suit into the cylinder , shut the door and push a button. A couple of minutes later a nearly dry and thoroughly spun suit is ready to go home without making a mess in the car. What a great idea! Got news? Or not-quite news? How about a nugget of information about an upcoming event? A report on brush with greatness? Email Nancie at nanciehammond@charter.net.

Three options, most have a cost around $140 per month present a fair, and “defensible” method “to assign a proportional share to each user.” Currently, each user pays $60 per equivalent dwelling unit. That, he said, was how to slice the pie. The district has obligations, such as it’s share of the Reedsport wastewater treatment plant costs. That was determined, due to the recent agreement with the
city, at 6.4 percent of the capital improvements to the plant. That was determined to be $57,890 annually. The district is also obligated for its share of the treatment plant’s operation and maintenance costs. That was determined to be $37, 214 annually. The district must also pay its own operation and maintenance expenses, estimated at $80,550 per year. Those figures include an operator for the system, insurance, administration, electricity, $15,000 for repairs and maintenance, a $10,000 reserve and $2,500 for legal expenses. GSD is to begin paying off
a $215,000 loan from the Department of Environmental Quality Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which is $49,198 per year. That means GSD needs to raise $229,350 per year from sewer user fees. Tax collections will make up $35,600 of that. GSD collects a property tax from all property owners with the district at a rate of 1.4191 percent of assessed value. Wadlington even broke down usage by customer. “The lowest connection in Gardiner uses zero gallons of water,” he told the board. “It’s probably a house that’s
Recall FROM PAGE 1
Recall is also a voteby-mail election. Ballots on the way contracts and there’s dissatisfaction, he believes, in the negotiations with the city of Reedsport on wastewater treatment. In his prospective petition on Degman, Holman wrote: “Gardiner Sanitary Board member Jack Degman has not adhered to open meeting and executive meeting laws; has, as a board member, refused to allow public discussion of items on the agenda. Has met monthly in executive
vacant that doesn’t use anything. The highest connection uses just over 56,000 gallons per month.” He estimated that was an apartment complex. It was not, he said, a business customer. Wadlington proposed Option 3, a hybrid that would charge a base rate, which would include the first 1,000 gallons of water used ... and then users would be charged rates based on each subsequent gallons use. Other options included charging each connection to the water system a flat rate, regardless of usage. It would be $141.63 per connection. Option two would be a
per gallon charge. The sewer fee would be based on each 1,000 gallons of water used. It would be $27 per each 1,000 gallons. That option would mean the average residential customer would pay $135 per month. The lowest user would pay nothing, while the highest user in the district would pay $1,539 a month. Option 3 means the average residential user would pay $140 per month. The lowest user would pay $60 and the highest user would pay $1,180. The board will consider Wadlington’s recommendation as it continues to work out the deal with Reedsport
and begin updating the system, using grants from the Infrastructure Financing Authority. The $2.5 million in grants will, first, replace the force main under the Umpqua River that carries wastewater to the Reedsport plant. That pipe has leaked into the river many times over the past 10 years. The latest spill was in early February, when 15,000 gallons went into the river before the pipe was patched. That pipe replacement is expected to cost $500,000. Other money will be used to replace a pump and upgrade the wastewater system on the Gardiner side of the river.
in the future. In anticipation of WRRDA, the governor wrote WRRDA conferees. “Oregon cannot go it alone in perpetuity to pay for this long-standing federal obligation,” he wrote. Kitzhaber was referring to 2013, when federal funding for dredging did not exist. In response, Governor Kitzhaber partnered with
the Oregon legislature to secure $5 million in state funds to pay the USACE to dredge several Oregon coastal harbors. The WRRDA conference language now heads back for a vote in both the House and Senate. If upheld in both chambers it will go to the president's desk for his signature.

Has knowingly continued the practice of unfairly billing selected customers.” The election has been set for June 17, with ballots going out at the end of May. “The petitioner’s statement will be on the ballot,” Hitt repeated, “but there will not be anything from the board members.” This will be a vote-bymail election. “In Oregon, they’re all vote-by-mail,” Hitt said, “so it will be a mail election. Ballots will go out to the affected district members by the end of May, first of June ... probably around May 30.”

Hitt says she doesn’t expect the election to be affected by the recent primary election. “It’s busy,” she admitted. “It’s always very busy during an election. The timing could be a little better but it also could be worse. There was a possibility that it could have landed on the same day as the primary. Fortunately, for us, it’s after the primary. Another fortunate thing for us is it’s not a countywide issue.” Hitt has been with the department for six years and says recall elections are nothing new. “This is our second recall this year,” she said.

Heavy wind, rain cutting down on spring fishing opportunities It looks like there is more heavy winds in store for this week’s second three-day halibut opener. Shad fishing is becoming more consistent, but there has been enough rain to keep the Umpqua River high enough so that low water hotspots such as Sawyers Rapids from fishing as well as they could. Moss is taking a lot of the fun out of fishing for spring Chinook in the entire Umpqua River above Scottsburg. However, there has been a number of Chinook salmon caught in the last couple of weeks within a couple of miles of the Umpqua River Bar. There is plenty of salmon forage inshore, but it hasn’t yet attracted many of the salmon that were way off shore a few weeks ago. Right now, the best salmon fishing is

next week, or so, but beyond that expect better fishing and plenty of company. Smallmouth bass fishing on the Umpqua River is getting good. When the river is high and murky, concentrate on areas out of the main current. But sightfishing for the smallies with smaller plastics is fun and effective when the river is relatively clear. Largemouth bass fishing is still good on most area lakes, but the smaller nest-guarding males are starting to dominate the catch. Many of the Florence-area lakes are receiving trout plants this week. Alder, Buck and Dune lakes are each receiving 425 legal rainbows and 36 trophy rainbows. Cleawox received 1,500 legal rainbows and Erhart and Perkins lakes each got 100. Siltcoos Lagoon received 36 trophy rainbows.
