Reedsport Mayor Keith Tymchuk listens to testimony at a City Council meeting Monday, Sept. 8. Tymchuk has decided not to seek re-election but plans to continue to work on economic development and port issues in the region.
Tymchuk looks to life after mayorship BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post
It’s been an interesting summer for Reedsport Mayor Keith Tymchuk. He was a member of a committee that chose an interim county commissioner after the resignation of long-time Commissioner Doug Robertson. He saw the city sign a historic, years-in-the-making agreement with the Gardiner Sanitary District to take over billing of the district’s sewer customers. He missed his first council meeting in a long time to drive his daughter to college in Montana. Tymchuk attended several meetings as a commissioner on the Port of Umpqua board. He decided not to seek a seventh term as mayor. He said he’s given a lot of thought to what he’ll be doing after his term expires at the end of the year. “I hope to be, and willing to be, as much of a resource for the city as I can,” he said, “in light of the fact that I think I’ve, over my
years, developed, what I feel, is an excellent working relationship with officials and representatives of a variety of levels of government. I’d like to keep using that to the city’s benefit, if I can.” He said he would stay involved as a port commissioner and will continue his work as chair of the governor’s South Coast Solutions Regional Advisory Team. He also hopes to stay in the loop of economic development efforts in the region. “I made sure, when I approached people, as I was considering not running,” Tymchuk said, “I made sure I asked, ‘If I chose not to run for mayor again, would it impact my those positions?’ The answer is no. It does not. I think I still have the ability to bring a voice to the community in a variety of areas in economic development and in regional problem solving.” Tymchuk, in the past few months, has been pushing hard for Reedsport to be a part of the proposed Jordan Cove LNG project on

COOS BAY — Oregon students didn’t show dramatic improvement on state tests last year, new data shows, though there were a few bright spots of success on the South Coast. The Oregon More Department of Education online released the Go to the2013-2014 worldlink.com Oregon to see the Assessment of breakdown of Knowledge and student OAKS Skills results on scores in Wednesday, graphs, charts Sept. 10. Deputy and databases. Superintendent Rob Saxton glossed over the report, noting there were no glaring increases or decreases from the year prior. By this time next year, school districts will be poring through an entirely new set of data, since students will take the Smarter Balanced assessments instead of OAKS this spring. That doesn’t mean this data isn’t
important, said Christopher Mazzeo, Education Northwest Director of Evidence Use and Policy. “They matter as a snapshot of one data source about performance in the last year,” he said. “With a new test next year, it will take some time to fully understand. “It will be very hard to compare from previous years’ data on OAKS to Smarter Balanced and I would discourage people from trying. Eventually, we’ll have more Smarter Balanced data, so we can understand what that means.” There were impressive gains and plummeting OAKS scores on the South Coast: Nearly every single high school enjoyed increased writing scores Only half of third-graders in five South Coast schools passed reading Science and math scores were all over the board, though a few high schools made steady improvement over the last few years Gov. John Kitzhaber and his supporting education agencies are laser-focused on his 40-40-20 goal. By 2025, Kitzhaber wants to

see a 100-percent high school completion rate. Over the next 11 years, Oregon has a long way to go. During the 2012-13 school year, 69 percent graduated. The “40-4020” breaks down into 40 percent finishing community college, 40 percent getting at least a bachelor’s degree, and 20 percent completing high school. “I don’t think it’s too lofty,” Mazzeo said. “I think it’s an important thing for the state to set out a target it tries to reach. The only way you meet big goals is to set the target.” To reach that goal, education officials are targeting several benchmarks as evidence of a student’s academic potential. Third grade reading “Reading by third grade is one of the single greatest predictors of life-long success,” said Chief Education Officer Nancy Golden in a news release. This pivotal benchmark has led state education agencies, including the Oregon Education

A great salmon season expected in coastal basins SALEM - Wild coho seasons in coastal basins opened Monday, Sept. 1 A news release from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says wild coho seasons on many coastal rivers and bays opened Sept. 15 and, judging from the number of ocean coho being caught off the Oregon coast, fishery managers are anticipating a great season. “The forecasts for both coastal fall Chinook and coho were strong for 2014 and ocean fisheries so far have lived up to expectations,” said Chris Kern, ODFW manager for Columbia and marine programs in the news release. “Fishing for coho and Chinook in coastal rivers should be outstanding.” Managers are predicting 175,000 wild coho will enter Oregon coastal basins and have set wild coho seasons in 13 of those basins: Nehalem, Tillamook, Nestucca, Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Siuslaw, Umpqua, Coos and Coquille rivers, Tenmile lakes and Beaver and Floras/New creeks. Most seasons began Sept. 15 and will continue through November, but there are exceptions. Also, some basins are only open certain days of the week, and seasonal wild coho bag limits vary. River-specific seasons, quotas, bag limits and closed areas are described on the ODFW website. This year only three basins – Umpqua, Beaver Creek and Floras/New River – will have quotas, down from six in 2013. This continues the trend away from expensive and labor intensive creels and quotas to fixed season structures, That’s according to Mike Gray, ODFW fish biologist in Charleston. Chris Knutsen, ODFW biologist in Tillamook, says wild coho already are being caught and released in Tillamook, Nehalem and Nestucca bays. “All indications are that the run on the North Coast will be stronger than in recent years,” he said. Wild coho also have moved into Southern Oregon basins , such as the Coos and Umpqua.

The newsletter is distributed via email. Printed copies are available at the VSO at the Douglas County Courthouse. You can join the distribution list, just email Barye at bbdellin@co.douglas.or.us. Finally, I would like to thank all of the people and organizations involved in putting together the Sept. 11 Day of Recognition at the Roseburg Regional Airport. I had the honor to see the Presentation of Colors by Oregon National Guard’s Charlie Company and break bread with good people at the barbecue fundraiser for the Veterans Relief Fund. God bless our veterans and God bless America. Have information to share with Douglas County veterans? Contact John at jd.mcdonald.jd@gmail.com or 541-580-6178.

E-government At all levels of government, whether federal, state, county or city jurisdictions, the use of computers and the internet has changed the way things work. Especially in county THE COUNTY SCENE government in south west Oregon, as counties have been grappling with the loss of federal funding, e (for electronic) government has provided some tremenSusan Morgan dous economies. As you know, the Douglas County Commissioner greatest cost of any government is paying people to provide services. One of the best opportunities we have to reduce cost is to use technology, rather than people whenever practical, to provide those services. A great example is in the Douglas County Assessor’s Office. In the pre-egovernment days, citizens wishing to access information related to tax assessment had to come to the court-
house and ask county employees. In today’s environment, a great deal of information is available online, through an internet connection. Citizens can log on to the assessor’s department through Douglas County government’s website at www.co.douglas.or.us, then click on Assessment Information on the left side to access a wealth of information that saves both a trip to the courthouse and county employee budgets. Counter staff has been dramatically reduced, and the remaining counter staff is freed up to deal with citizens who have special issues or cannot access the internet system. As always, please call ahead for an appointment so staff can be ready to work with you. Douglas County has a very active and effective information technology department, administered by Kevin Potter. Mr. Potter oversees a staff that works with county departments and information users to identify or develop programming and hardware that makes systems work better. The staff also troubleshoots tech problems and
trains users to use the systems most efficiently. You may be interested in the new jail inmate software at http://jailviewer.co.douglas.or.us.

would destroy city government. After the votes were tallied, there had to be a way to destroy the people’s initiative. The courts were to be used. So, with the mayor’s encouragement, the council obligated $60,000 of precious community resources to obtain legal assistance for a judicial review. Fortunately the plaintiffs found support to face the review, but they were on their own. When the results of the review were announced, the initiative would stand. The judge merely cited state law, which said that nothing could prevent the city from satisfying an obligation to

the state. It was not a goal, nor was it part of the initiative to obstruct the repayment of the loan. There was concern that the city had been collecting ahead of need and this has kind of been confirmed in that there has been no increase in user fees since the initiative was filed 1 almost 2 ⁄2 years ago. This was not because there was no interest in increasing the fees. It was noted at several council meetings that, when asked about the fee resources, the city finance director commented that resources were meeting the city obligations to the state. It would have been very simple to work with the citizens of Reedsport. There are three and sometimes four elections each year. Spring elections are a holdover from a time when the operating budgets of all political sub-divisions were required to gain voter approval. There has been one failed attempt to overcome measure 10-119 but the mayor promotes another attempt. You should protect the existing charter by voting no on his measure 10135. Consider electing members to your council that will not work against the people! Do that this election by writing in A’eron Blackman for position 4 of the Reedsport City Council. Mervyn E. Cloe Reedsport

Of the people? Only those that have been elected to council in Reedsport. For the people? Yes, until your money is gone! By the people? Not if the mayor has his way! There will be no public approval sought. In 2012, a strong 59.6 percent majority voted for charter change by measure 10-119. The measure gave the voter final authority over the increase of fees and taxes. It is said that when the initiative was filed the mayor exhibited a child-like tantrum. Those that promoted the initiative were labeled as anarchists who

Gary Leif has the fore-
sight and ability bring Douglas County up to speed to the 21st century mode of operation. He believes in open government and will get the cameras back on the commissioner meetings, allow the citizen to have input at the meetings. He has the knowledge and experience to get our county growing responsibly, like Deschutes and other Oregon counties. For the last decade, many of the commissioners have failed to try and retain quality companies that employed many Douglas County residents. It has been obvious for some time that Douglas County has issues in the planning program which has been another cause of the last 20 years of stagnation. Compare Roseburg (22,275 population) with Bend (79,109 population). They were both of comparable size in the mid-80s. Now that we are finally Doug-less County, this is a perfect opportunity to get moving in the right direction. Gary has the experience and leadership ability to bring the parties together. He has proven these qualities time and time again in his 20-plus years of community work. This is the first time in 20 years that my neighbor and I have agreed on the same candidate.

Wahl FROM PAGE 1 Umpqua Post, owner Fred Wahl said they had 77 employees at the Reedsport operation. Mike Wahl says they’ll keep the current facility on the Umpqua River. “We would relocate most of the employees over there,” he said, “but we’d always keep this shipyard going. The structure of the buildings that we have over here ... we’d still use them. Those buildings over there are pretty big. We could probably do four boats inside with the overhead cranes.” Mike Wahl called the building size on Bolon Island “phenomenal.” He said it’s exciting to think of expanding. “We’ve kind of outgrown this property (on the
Reedsport waterfront),” he said. “We’ve grown into it as far as we can grow. We’re hampered by just one haulout (to get boats in and out of the water). With the Travellift you can set them up, set them on land. I would expect us to have 15, 16 boats on land at the busy time.” He said the company must still get permits approved by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and others. He was asked when to expect see the Wahl name on the side of the Bolon Island facility. “Probably early December,” he said. “That’s when the property actually closes and transfers into our name.”

Other members of the committee are Kathleen Miller, Joe Coyne, Debra Yates, Donna Train, Susan Martin, Kathi Wall-Meyer and Bill Karcher. Wright said this latest effort should not be confused with another effort, a decade ago, that petered out. “I want to switch the paradigm away from the previous experience,” he said, “and look at this as a new experience. We’re going to hit the ground running.

We’re going to start afresh. Things have changed. Our economy’s changed. Times have changed. We’re going to try to adapt and overcome some of our major challenges.” Wright introduced the city’s new Main Street program coordinator, Emesha Jackson, who comes to the city for 11 months through the Resource Assistance for Rural Environments program. Stuart was pleased at the large turnout. “It’s really exciting to have you all here,” she said. She presented a refresher to what she called the “Main Street Approach.” The twohour meeting also included a series of questions each group addressed. Stuart told the group the program got a restart seven years ago. “We were restarted in 2007,” she explained. “We base our services, how we deliver technical assistance to communities, on the national Main Street model. We call that “The Main Street Approach.” It’s a registered trademark used for main street as it relates to commercial district revitalization.” She said the approach has four parts. She explained the first part is having an organiza-
tional structure in place. “That’s something to sustain a long-term revitalization effort,” she said, “to ensure you have the people, in terms of volunteer capacity, as well as financial resources to sustain a longterm effort.” Another prong is design. That’s described as “physical improvements to the district — both public and private sector. A third consideration is economic restructuring or “strengthening the district’s economic base.” The final part is promotion. Stuart described it the group as “promoting the district as the town’s social, cultural and economic center. “We look at those private sector improvements. We also look at things like visual merchandising through the design element. Are people making the best use of window displays. You’re already paying for that space. So, if you’re not marketing your business by making good use of window displays, then you’re not being as successful as you possible could.” The city’s steering committee will hold a meeting Sept. 23 to create a “vision statement” for the Main Street Program. Another full stakeholder meeting is scheduled Oct. 7.

We have stepped up and we struggle a little bit with name recognition and, again, it seems odd that we’d be out here, but we’re really very active on the coast right now.” Ruggiero says they’re currently working on a project in the Siuslaw basin and another in the Tahkenitch Lake basin. “This would actually be our first foray into the Umpqua estuary,” he said, “and we’re very excited about it. The land was brought to the attention of MRT by the Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers, a watershed council that serves the entire Umpqua system. Another partner is the Umpqua Soil and Water Conservation District. He said the proposal is to create The Scholfield Creek Wetlands. “That’s what we’re calling this project that we’re trying to put together with our partners,” Ruggiero said. government together,” he that we have a follow up,” He said the project is Tymchuk said, “and how we said, “looking to come to the approximately 241 acres, might market this commusame conclusion.” pending survey work.

We, as a trust, are really interested in generating public value and public recognition of special places. That’s really what we’re all about. Clearly, Scholfield Creek has an important place in this community.” He said the trust recognizes the area is already used recreationally and provides “really important nursery habitat for juvenile fish, which is important.” He called the wetlands “exceptional” in their quality. Ruggiero told the council the project work is funded by grants they apply for through foundations and the state and federal government agencies. Staff time for the eight full-time employees is funded through donations and “capacity building grants.” In all, the trust owns and manages about 2,000 acres at 13 sites. “We hold about 26 conservation easements,” Ruggiero said.

Braves place fourth in Les Schwab tourney THE UMPQUA POST
By Lou Sennick, The World
Marquece Williams takes the handoff from Tyler Tresch during their Coquille Jamboree game late last month, a tuneup before the start of the season. The Braves are 1-1 after Friday’s loss to Amity.
Reedsport suffers first setback THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport’s football team suffered its first loss of the season Friday, when the Braves came up short against Class 3A Amity 36-12. The Braves weren’t able to overcome four turnovers. “We just cannot turn the ball over that many times against a quality opponent and expect to be in position to win,” Reedsport coach Shane Nelson said. The defeat to the bigger school could be a positive learning experience for the Braves, Nelson said. “I was happy with our energy and passion,” he said. “The kids weren’t intimidated and really did play very hard for the most part. “Amity was just a little bit more athletic and had really good team speed.” Unlike Reedsport’s opening win against Neah-Kah-Nie, the Braves weren’t able to get their offense going against Amity. “They were not too much bigger than us, but really did a good job of taking away our plays in space, which is obviously our strength,” Nelson said. “We were able to run the ball effectively at times, but not able to consistently keep drives moving.” The Braves managed just 199 yards rushing, though Joey Herr gained 100 by himself, including a 30-yard touch-
down run in the first quarter. The Braves trailed by just one touchdown after quarterback Tyler Tresch scored early in the fourth quarter. “We had tons of energy and the kids were fired up,” Nelson said. “You could feel the momentum swinging. “They we slipped and gave up a long touchdown run up the middle. This just took all of the air out of our sails.” The Braves fumbled after the touchdown and Amity took advantage of the short field to add the final touchdown. “While the score was 36-12, it was closer than that,” Nelson said. “I felt the same resiliency that we had in last year’s team, and then they broke our backs with the long TD run. “That is definitely something that we need to talk about and use that will help us down the road.” Nelson was happy with a lot of what Reedsport did in the game, especially on defense. “We really did what we wanted to do as far as swarming to the ball and tackling,” he said. “We would play great for several plays in a row and then all of a sudden Amity would spring a big run or throw the ball over our heads for a big play. “They had an extremely athletic quarterback who was an excellent football player. He made some plays that you just had to give him credit for.”
But on offense, Reedsport made too many mistakes against Amity’s tough defense. “Against a team like that for us to be successful moving hte ball, we have to execute very well and we didn’t do that,” Nelson said. “We missed a lot of blocks in space, and while we only had five penalties on the night, two of them were on plays we had picked up first downs and the penalties ended up forcing us to punt.” Tresch completed just 4 of 10 passes for 28 yards and one interception. “Tyler missed a few throws that he needs to make,” Nelson said. “It was his first time seeing that much pressure and he didn’t want to force throws, so he ended up throwing the ball too short so that the defender wouldn’t have a chance. He will get better.” Tresch and the Braves have two more chances to improve before getting into the games that really count, the Sunset Conference season. Reedsport visits Glide on Friday and plays its home opener against Santiam next week. “The great thing about playing a tough opponent like (Amity) is we have so many things to learn from and improve on,” Nelson said. “It will give the kids some expeirence moving forward. “We ame out of the game healthy and hungry.”
Reedsport volleyball coach James Hixenbaugh has a simple assessment of the Braves’ season so far. “We haven’t won many matches this year, but we have played some great teams,” Hixenbaugh said. That was the case again Saturday, when Reedsport won just one match during the third annual Les Schwab Invitational, which the Braves hosted. Reedsport opened the day with a 25-16, 25-16 win over Bonanza. “We served the ball well against Bonanza,” Hixenbaugh said. “We had 10 aces the first set.” In the semifinals, Reedsport fell to Class 1A power North Douglas 25-16, 25-15. The Warriors, then went on to lose to Class 2A power Culver in a close championship match 25-14, 22-25, 15-9. “North Douglas is a good volleyball team and they played Culver in the championship match and played them tough,” Hixenbaugh said. “I think both teams have a shot at a state championship this year.” Reedsport fell to East Linn Christian, 21-25, 25-20, 15-13 in the third-place match. “I thought as a team, we played OK, we just made too many mistakes at critical times,” Hixenbaugh said. With the results from the
Les Schwab tournament, the Braves are 1-5 on the season — the three wins in pool play during the Reedsport Invitational don’t count toward overall standings. Reedsport also lost last week to Creswell, traditionally one of the state’s top Class 3A teams, 25-17, 25-18, 25-17. Throughout the preseason, Hixenbaugh’s goal has been to find the best rotations and lineups for his team. The Braves have veterans at setter (Kaylynn Hixenbaugh), middle hitter (Mariah McGill) and defensive specialist (Alyssa Aguirre and Julia Analco). Other players have stepped up in the preseason, and Hixenbaugh hopes all the pieces come together as the Braves begin play in the Sunset Conference, battling five other teams for two spots in the Class 2A playoffs. “We’re looking forward to our first league match this Thursday against Toledo,” Hixenbaugh said. Myrtle Point has the best record for the league at 7-1 with wins over two teams that Reedsport has lost to — Coquille and Glide. No other league teams have more than one win. After Thursday’s league opener, the Braves face both St. Paul and Culver on Saturday at Regis High School near Salem. Next week, the Braves are have league matches at Waldport and Gold Beach.

Unclipped coho caught on rivers are now legal Unclipped coho salmon became legal to keep Monday (Sept. 15) on many of Oregon’s coastal rivers. The daily and seasonal bag limits for unclipped cohos is one fish per day and two per season and while the quotas for most rivers have been removed, the Umpqua River still has a quota of 2,000 wild or unclipped coho for this season, which will end when the quota is reached, or Nov. 30 — whichever comes first. Jack salmon are legal to keep in most coastal rivers. But coho jacks, which must measure between 15 and 20 inches must be finclipped except that during the nonselective season on Oregon’s
coastal rivers — one unclipped coho jack may be kept per day. Chinook jacks measure between 15 and 24 inches and do not have to be finclipped. The daily limit for jack salmon is five fish per day. While jack salmon do not have to be marked on an angler’s tag, an easy way to receive a ticket is to catch and keep jack salmon while fishing the river and then venture out into the ocean with those jacks still on board. Every salmon retained in the ocean must be tagged and be subject to minimum size limits of 16 inches for cohos and 24 inches for Chinooks.

ductive with some of the trout caught recently being trophy rainbows from a plant made three weeks ago. It seems that the numbers of orcas in Puget Sound is steadily declining due to a decline in their preferred forage (Chinook salmon), while the more nomadic orcas farther north are increasing in numbers. Their forage base of marine mammals remains abundant. While orcas are considered among the most intelligent of marine mammals, they have yet to figure out how to take advantage of the record numbers of Chinook salmon passing over Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River.
