McMinnville man was coming to Hauser to sell a motorcycle

BY THOMAS MORIARTY The Umpqua Post

NORTH BEND — When Zachary Porter left his home in McMinnville in July 2013, he told his family he was off to sell a motorcycle.

A single parent and the primary caregiver for his disabled mother, the 25-year-old was driving down to the Hauser area between North Bend and Lakeside to sell the bike back to the man who had originally traded it to him.

Shortly after arriving July 23, Zachary sent his father a text message, saying he had made it and was waiting on a ride home.

That was the last anyone heard from him.

A year after his inexplicable disappearance in southwestern Oregon, Zachary’s family and investigators are making another push to promote the case, hoping the publicity jogs someone’s memory.

Talking to assembled media Saturday at Riley Ranch County Park south of Lakeside, Zachary's father Myron was candid that he fears the worst has befallen his son.

“For him not to try and reach his son, for even a 24-hour period — it just never happened,” he said.

“I believe something bad has happened and I want to get to the bottom of it.”

Zachary’s father had driven

down to join a group of Coos County sheriff’s deputies — some uniformed, some plainclothed — canvassing the Hauser area with fliers over the weekend.

Zachary is described as 5-foot11, and weighing about 180 pounds. He has brown hair and eyes.

Investigators believe he made it safely into Coos County, but that’s where the trail narrows and seemingly ends.

When the investigation began in 2013, the Sheriffs Office first concentrated its search efforts in the Hauser area, but later received information placZachary Porter ing Zachary’s location somewhere between North Bank Lane near Coquille and the junction of U.S. Highway 101 and state Highway 42.

Deputy Jason Patterson said investigators haven’t gotten many leads since. “It’s gone pretty quiet,” he said.

Myron said the story behind his son’s fateful trip involved a motorcycle he had received from a South Coast man in partial trade for a car.

After Zachary posted online that he was selling the bike, its original owner contacted him, saying that he had money now and wanted to buy it back.

Myron said his son planned to get a ride back to McMinnville from the man.

DCSO warns of gift card scam For the past few days, several Douglas County residents have reported getting a phone call from a male subject representing himself as a lieutenant with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

This person tells the victims that they have a warrant for their arrest, but if they purchase reloadable credit cards and bring them to the courthouse the warrant will be dismissed.

The Sheriff's Office says

it will not call you about a warrant and they will never request prepaid or reloadable gift cards.

If area residents get a call like this they should hang up. Always use caution when being asked for money or personal information. If anyone believes they have been the victim of fraud because of this or any other scam they should contact their local law enforcement agency to file a report.

The biggest barrier for these youth to enter our workforce is inexperience and lack of training that fits job requirements. Getting this group into the workforce is important for our collective future.

Here in Douglas County, Umpqua Training & Employment, or UT&E, is working toward providing services to identify individuals in this group who are interested in getting jobs.

Here is the concept: UT&E will assess interested individuals’ work readiness knowledge, skills and inter-

ests. Once this process has been completed, UT&E will work with participants to develop an individual plan to skill up for their chosen path and help them identify onthe-job training opportunities that will give them realtime work experience while they are skilling up. This initiative can open a doorway that will enable businesses to hire and continue to train young employees for long term careers. This is not a new idea. It’s been successful in the past and is worth dusting off and updating.

I will keep you posted.

LUH celebrates 50 years of service The way is was — Part 1

BY DR . RICKARD W. MCLEAN Original medical staff member of Lower Umpqua Hospital

In 1951, I came to Reedsport with two babies and an office manager wife to make a home. I joined Dr. Courtney and two osteopathic physicians, Dr. Amick and Dr. Howitt to serve the Reedsport area.

I took a two-year lease option from Dr. Carol Myers, who was going to Massachusetts General Hospital to specialize in

surgery.

She had built an isolated structure two years before in a bog across from the present County Building.

It was up on short wood pillars; there were swamp willows in the entire block.

We worked to the music of frogs under the office all winter because if the drainage coming off the hill didn’t flood down there the tide gate would.

The nearest commercial structure was the logging supply — no Masonic hall, no bank, no county building. Between our office and the railroad was the deteriorating veterans housing,

Call me a Duck!

BY RACHEL LACEWELL As I arrived on the University of Oregon campus a few weeks ago for IntroDUCKtion, it’s easily said that I was nervous. Nervous to be in an unfamiliar place, nervous to make friends and slightly worried about organizing a beneficial schedule. I say the last part because I am undecided and I don’t have a set course as I begin taking classes.

Soon, however, my fears subsided.

Coincidentally, I was placed into a group with someone I saw just a few days earlier at the Ford Family Foundation Scholarship award ceremony. I decided to branch out and say hello to him, and this is when my fears melted away!

The rest of orientation we were asked by many if we had been friends throughout high school.

All in all, it is safe to say that I felt much better.

Over the next day and a half I was able to make more friends and become acquainted with campus.

Everything I was anxious about suddenly seemed exciting. I was able to get classes that contributed to graduation and I registered for 18 credits.

I even joined a FIG, or Freshman Interest Group.

A FIG is available to all freshmen on the campus and there are dozens to choose from. These groups consist of classes that you take with your fellow FIG members and a connection class between the two courses that is included in the FIG. I am excited to become part of the campus at Oregon and look forward to trying new things, which is why I decided to join a FIG. The FIG that I have registered for includes the classes: “The History of the Motion Picture” and “German

Culture and Thought.”

When I first thought about registering for classes, neither of these courses were on my mind, but that is the great thing about college; I get to try new things I have never even considered! My FIG is a nonresidential one because I have made the decision to live off-campus this year.

I thought this was the best decision for me because I want to be in control of my environment and able to find quiet at all hours. I feel living off-campus will give me a better chance to study when I need to and maintain a healthy balance socially and academically.

I can see myself spending a lot of my time on campus, and I’m planning on living very close so I don’t miss out on campus activities and all the fun that takes place there.

I do not plan on missing football games, that’s for sure! I am also excited to be registered for a French class. The transition from registering for high school classes to registering for college classes was overwhelming, but I say this with positivity.

The class choices are endless and one could not possibly take every class! I look forward to all these possibilities while I attend UofO and am excited to uncover a subject I love and find a major I can enjoy every day.

As I embark on my new journey I am thrilled to have such a supportive family and community in Reedsport and I look forward to sharing my experiences as I go! Until next time, GO DUCKS! Rachel Lacewell is a Reedsport Community Charter School graduate.

She was the 2014 valedictorian and is a Ford Family Foundation scholarship winner. She plans to submit an ocassional column about her experiences at the University of Oregon.

SUMMARY STATEMENT: If approved by the voters, this measure amends Reedsport Charter Section 45 deleting requirement that City tax or utility rate increases be ratified by a “double majority” of the City’s electors to be effective.

A “double majority” requires both more than 50% of eligible electors vote in an election and a majority of those voting to vote in favor of what is before them.

The proposed amendment neither alters nor changes the requirement that City taxes or utility rate increases be ratified by a majority of the electors.

This measure applies to all votes taken on City taxes and utility rate increases by city electors since January 1, 2014.

Teams can sign up for Humphreys tournament THE UMPQUA POST The annual Bill Humphreys Memorial golf tournament marks its 20th year Sunday, Aug. 31, at Forest Hills Country Club.

The nine-hole event typically draws about 90 golfers, playing in teams of up to six people. Players of all skill levels are welcome — men and women, novice and junior. It is played in a scramble format, where all the players on the team hit each shot and the group picks the best one and plays from there.

The event begins with a shotgun start at 2 p.m. The fee is $30 and includes the golf and a post-round meal. Golfers also can buy chances to win a number of raffle prizes, including sporting gear, regional golf outings and overnight lodging at casinos.

The Braves Boosters Association, which is coordinating the event, also is looking for team sponsors. For $100, sponsors get a sign on one of the holes, recognition on the sponsor board and entry for one player in the event.

For more information, call Joe Zelinzski at 541-999-6947 or email golf@bravesboosters.com. Sponsorship and registration forms are available through the event’s Facebook page: Bill Humphreys Memorial Golf Tournament.

Reedsport’s Kaylynn Hixenbaugh serves the ball during drills at the North Bend team camp Monday. The Braves start official practice next week.

Fall practice starts next week

Women’s bowling leagues start soon THE UMPQUA POST

THE UMPQUA POST Official practice for fall sports begins next week at Reedsport Community Charter School.

The football and volleyball teams, both coming off successful seasons, begin their quest for another strong year with the start of the preseason practice — both have team camps this week.

The Oregon School Activities Association has a new rule this year that teams cannot have the traditional daily doubles — two practices in one day — on consecutive days, though that won’t impact Reedsport in any way.

Both football coach Shane Nelson and volleyball coach James Hixenbaugh plan one long practice each day next week.

The football team will practice from 5-8 p.m. each day, Nelson said.

As for the second week of practice, Nelson said the schedule “depends on how we progress.”

The Braves reached the playoffs for the first time in several years last fall.

The volleyball team, which advanced to the Class 2A championship game last year,

will practice 5-8 p.m. each day.

Reedsport will be in a new league of sorts this year. OSAA no longer has hybrid leagues in Oregon, and the Braves are in a new-look Sunset Conference with traditional rivals Gold Beach, Bandon and Myrtle Point along with new members Waldport and Toledo.

The top two teams from the league will advance to the playoffs.

Women are invited to join the Tuesday and Thursday morning bowling leagues at Umpqua Lanes.

The leagues will hold initial meetings at 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 26 and Aug. 28. Women who want to bowl on those days are welcome to come to the meetings or sign up by letting the organizers know.

For more information on the Tuesday league, call Corinne Kruzick at 541-7070744. For information about the Thursday league, call Linda at 541-271-3839.

Salmon fishing has been solid in the ocean Salmon fishing was very good during the middle of last week, but much tougher over last weekend. While the best catches have been made by anglers fishing the ocean off Winchester Bay, some untimely minus tides combined with fairly early mid-morning windy conditions have resulted in some fairly narrow windows of opportunity for would-be ocean salmon anglers.

The ocean finclipped salmon season ended at one hour after sunset last Sunday (Aug. 10) with about half the quota uncaught. The ocean remains open for adult Chinook salmon through Oct. 31. Although it is still kind of early, finclipped coho are

still legal to keep in the Umpqua River.

The ocean will reopen for coho salmon on Aug. 30 when the nonselective season begins.The coho quota for this season will be adjusted according to the uncaught portion of the just ended ocean coho season — but not exactly on a fish for fish basis.

Since the nonselective coho season for coastal rivers typically does not begin until Sept. 15, I can foresee some confused anglers getting tickets and two weeks of an enforcement nightmare for

Tickets were common at Winchester Bay this weekend as numerous anglers were convinced that the jumbo unclipped cohos they caught were Chinook salmon.

Salmon Harbor also cracked down on people who were using the launch ramps without paying the launch fee and then trying to hide their crime by parking in other parts of Winchester Bay. There will be another two-day halibut opener for the summer season on Friday and Saturday (Aug. 15-16).

Conditions appeared promising this week for anglers wanting to fish for tuna out of Winchester Bay. Crabbing continues to be very good at Winchester Bay, but crabbing pressure is heavy enough to ensure success is best entering the weekends — rather than at the ends of the weekends. Poorly placed crab gear blocking paths needed by boats has become a major problem at Winchester Bay. Spinner flingers trying for salmon from shore at Half Moon Bay and Osprey Point are accounting for several salmon each day and, surprisingly, a salmon was reported caught at the Winchester Creek bridge last weekend.
