It was supposed to be a dayof classes, but more than 100Reedsport CommunityCharter School 7th- through12th-grade students stayedout of school Wed., April 24,to protest, they say, onlineschooling.

Some students held upsigns and others encourageddrivers on nearby U.S.Highway 101 to honk their

horns in support.“Our school’s trying to

change to online and we don’tlike it at all,” student KaylynnHixenbaugh said. “We don’tknow how to do anything butstand out.”

She said students wouldattend a budget meeting thatnight.

“Because, it is our educa-tion,” she said, “and why can’twe choose?”

Student Sierra Kinghelped organize the event.

“We all just decided wewere going to stand up forsomething we believe in,” shesaid. “It wasn’t just me thatput it together. It was kind of agroup effort. Everybody cameout and helped.”

WINCHESTER BAY — Police are treat-ing the death of a woman whose body wasfound Sunday at the Winchester BayWayfinding Point as a homicide.

The body was found in some blackberrybushes at about 8:20 a.m. by a couple whostopped at the viewpoint on U.S. Highway101 near milepost 217 near Reedsport.

The homicide apparently occurred

Sunday morning, Oregon State Police saidin a statement Monday morning.

About 125 people came toReedsport’s Pacific Auditorium tofind out what they should do if abig wave hits the Oregon coast.

It was a “tsunami rally,” hostedby the Oregon Department ofGeology and Mineral Industries aspart of an education effort on thecoast.

Peter Ovington is a geologichazards outreach specialist forDOGAMI and gave a hour-longpresentation on what residents ofReedsport, Winchester Bay andGardiner can expect when aCascadia Subduction Zone earth-quake happens off the Oregoncoast.

“If you do feel the ground startto shake, please drop, cover andprotect yourself and hold on tight,”Ovington said to begin his talk.

He explained tsunamis are notjust a wave, but a series of waves,or surges of water, created duringan earthquake.

“They can travel the open oceanat about the speed of a jet plane,about 500 miles per hour,”Ovington said.

Ovington says the tsunamis inJapan in 2011 showed the world thedestruction and death they couldcause.

He brought the possibility tothe local area.

“We, in the northwest, are real-ly a geological mirror image ofJapan,” he said. “We’ve got a sub-duction zone off our coast.”

Ovington said the quake, whenit comes, will be about a 9.0.

“Extended shaking,” he pointedout, “two to five minutes. Drop,cover and hold on and then findyour way to high ground.”

Japan suffered some waves thatwere nearly 40 feet high.

Locally, he said, things will hap-pen quickly after the quake.

“Fifteen to 30 minutes later,depending where you are onOregon’s coast, the first tsunamisurge will arrive,” Ovington said.“Those waves will continue for, atleast, four hours.”

The first wave, he said, is notalways the biggest.

DOGAMI Coast GeologistGeorge Priest asked the group ifthey had taken action to be pre-pared for the quake and tsunamisthat follow.

“To protect your own family,” hesaid. “That’s really what this is allabout.”

He showed the tsunami inunda-tion maps for the area, showing

Information, maps are helpful for meeting attendeesThere were some favorable comments to Thursday’s

tsunami rally in Reedsport. The event featured informa-tion about emergency preparedness, tsunami evacua-tion maps and a presentation about what might happento the area if a big quake would hit off the Oregon coast.

“I was more interested in the maps,” Reedsport’sChristina Herrera said, “and seeing which parts weregoing to be in the inundation zones. See, you know,where to go if it does happen.”

She said she was impressed with event, but wishedmore younger people would have attended.

“It was informative,” she said.“It was well done,” Judy Souther, of Reedsport, said.

“It was organized well and it was clear; what to do andwhere to look.”

While her house isn’t actually in an inundation zone,Souther said she wondered about what would happen ifa tsunami hit Reedsport.

“I’ve lived here two years and I was more afraidbefore tonight,” she said. “I’m not as nervous about itnow. More information really helps.”

“I think it was very helpful,” said Norman Morrison,of Reedsport. “I think it shows there’s been a lot ofplanning and preparation and so, if people will becomeinformed, they’ll know where to go and know what

Crabbing continues to be slow in thelower Umpqua River and even out in theocean for the few people venturing outside.The best crabbing has been experienced bythose who have dragged small craft into theTriangle where they have caught nearly asmany red rocks as legal Dungeness.

Bottomfish anglers are still catching fishoff the South Jetty and, ironically, betterthan usual catches of cabezon have beenrather common. The problem is thatcabezon will not be legal to keep until July 1.While the number of lingcod taken recentlyhas dropped off, fishing for greenling,striped surfperch and rockfish are holdingup well. The only time the fishing seems todrop off is during especially windy dayswhen changing barometric pressures maymake the bottomfish less active.

Interest in the Umpqua River’s late

spring run of redtailed surfperch(commonly called “pinkfins” isbuilding and a few anglers haveeven went up to Marker 12 to testthe waters. No catches reportedyet, but the run usually startsshowing up in mid-May.Meanwhile, the surf fishing for theperch has usually been productiveoff area beaches.

Salmon fishing along the SouthJetty and out in the ocean hasdropped off. There are good catch-es made every day, but mostanglers recently targeting salmonin the ocean and in the lowerUmpqua have been disappointed. That said,two anglers fishing the ocean fairly close tothe Umpqua River Bar last Sunday landed asalmon of more than 20 pounds which they

figured was a spring Chinook andtwo salmon in the 10-pound classwhich they figured were fallChinook feeding on baitfish nearthe bar. Large salmon are a possi-bility. Two of the salmon recentlypurchased by the Sportsman’sCannery in Winchester Bay eachweighed 35 pounds.

The information regarding theupcoming ocean finclipped cohoseason (or area between CapeFalcon and the Oregon/Californiaborder) is now out. The season willstart on July 1 and will run untilJuly 31 or when the quota of 10,500

finclipped coho salmon is met. The limitwill be two salmon daily.

A few people have started fishing forshad, but, so far, it seems they are only fish-

ing and not catching.Most of Oregon’s lakes that are not open

all year opened last Saturday. There shouldbe some meaningful reports on how fishingwas in next week’s column. Locally thisweek, the Tenmile Lakes received 6,000legal rainbows, while Bradley, Eel, Saundersand Powers Pond all received 3,000 legalrainbows. Bluebill Lake received 2,000 legalrainbows and the Millicoma Pond received500 legal trout.

The next scheduled trout stockinginvolving any of these lakes will be the lastweek in May.

Cool mornings have pretty much negatedwarmer afternoon temperatures and thefishing for largemouth bass and panfish islagging where I thought it would be at thistime. But it’s getting there and afternoonfishing can be very good.

Generally, a bank doesn’t require you to get a home inspection in order to

obtain a mortgage. It there are obvious problems that affect value, the

appraiser may note it in the appraisal report. However, their job is not to inspect the home, just to determine value.If your purchase contract mentions

a termite report, the lender will require it to be performed and pass before closing.

Will a bank require a home inspection and repairs completed before approving a loan?

The committee began itsdeliberations Wednesday,April 24, with an expectedshortfall. The work willresume at 6:30 tonight(Wednesday, May 1) at theReedsport CommunityCharter School.

Superintendent JimThomas said, even thoughthe budget is up 2 percentover the current year, the

district still has to cut. Thereasons are Public EmployeeRetirement System increas-es; salary and benefits for sixreinstated furlough days;cost-of-living and stepincreases for employees; andan increase in operatingcosts.

Some of the proposedcuts include eliminatingband and choir, reducingphysical education classes,reducing some counselingservices and eliminating thedean of students.

“The budget does notinclude any furlough days,”Thomas said.

He credited staff mem-

bers with being committedto the education of students.

“This is not easy on staffor administration,” Thomassaid, “It is what it is.”

Teachers presented analternative proposal. Theproposal includes cuttingthe RCCS librarian to a half-time position; eliminatingthe RCCS dean of students;reducing online school slotsby five; and either bringingthe sixth grade to RCCS ormoving an RCCS teacher toHighland Elementary.

The district is expectedto receive $1.86 million inproperty taxes in the comingyear, compared with $1.82

million for the current year.The state’s common schoolfund is expected to provide$45,213 for the coming year,as compared with $60,428for the current year.

The total budget is pro-posed at $5.685 million forthe 2013-14 school year,compared with $5.565 mil-lion for the current year.

Jim Wells and DavidYoung were elected as thebudget committee’s chair-man and vice chairman. Thebudget committee still hastwo vacancies.

Impact on studentscauses concern

Reedsport educators worktirelessly to provide the besteducation possible to our stu-dents. We all recognize thatdeclining enrollment willrequire our community tomake tough decisions; how-ever, we are concerned aboutthe impact of theSuperintendent Thomas’proposed budget on students.

The cuts proposed by thedistrict — including layoffoff three to four teachers —will eliminate the entiremusic program and increaseclass sizes. There is a betterway! At a recent budgetmeeting educators suggestedan alternative plan that bal-ances the budget throughretirement and reorganiza-tion. The plan will protectoptions for students, avoidteacher layoffs and give thedistrict the financial stabilityit needs.

We recognize the appro-priate use of technology canenhance students’ educa-tion opportunities, butbefore we redirect any fundsto an out-of-state company,we need to be sure it’s theright thing for out studentsand that there is accounta-bility and transparency forour taxpayer dollars.

We share the concernsexpressed by parents andstudents, and ask the dis-trict to allow the communityto review and debate theoptions for online program-ming before we make thisinvestment.

We look forward to con-tinuing to work together toensure a high-quality edu-cation for all Reedsport stu-dents.

Infrastructure orunnecessary asset?

In Reedsport our biggestproblem is leadership. Whatkind of leadership wouldspend precious communityresources doing somethingthat did not need to be done?

It started with needlesslyparalleling an eight inchwater line to Gardiner. Themotivation was to establishAmerican Bridge on BolenIsland. The eight-inch waterline running by their loca-tion should have sufficed.Gardiner took about onefourth of the available waterthrough a 4 inch pressurepump. This was a grosswaste of $2.5 million.

Spending other people’smoney can be so addictingthat we anxiously look formore opportunities!

The sewage treatmentplant consumed multimil-lions, to fix something thathad already been fixed. For53 months the plant hadbeen operated questionably.A little homework foundthat faulty operation reportshad caused concern at theDEQ, where they shouldhave been able to see whatwas happening. After allthey had trained and certi-fied the operator!

Reedsport leadershipwould not accept thishomework. Refusing toacknowledge that the newoperator had repaired theoperation, they plowedahead rebuilding somethingthat was not broken. This atthe same time the plant wasachieving an unbelievableefficiency and had beendoing so for 27 months. It isin the records and can bemade available to thoseinterested.

Let’s say that the proof isin the pudding. The new sys-tem receives a flow of about18 percent of its designcapacity. How the plant canoperate efficiently at this rateof flow is a question forsome. This cannot be hidden,but leadership will likely nottalk about it, like they refusedto review the DischargeMonitoring Reports.

Elected officials pro-ceeded way in advance offacility completion, to assessuser fees said to providereserves for future pay-ments. This has really pro-vided a slush fund toallow for a number ofunbudgeted expenditures.

Raise after raise of userfees caused the public toestablish a charter amend-ment, which requires voterapproval for any creation orincrease of fees or taxes.When the story is relatedelsewhere, it brings nothingbut adulation and envy.

Reedsport needs to trimoperating cost and review allof its assets. Assets notrequired, should be liquidat-ed in favor of paying for thefacilities that have beenestablished. Future expen-ditures must be thoroughlyvetted.

Reedsport does not needany more white elephants likesewage treatment has provid-ed. The way to be sure is to saveMeasure 10-119 ... by votingNo on Measure 10-127. Trustthe people who pay the bills.

Friends of HinsdaleGarden update

The Friends ofReedsport’s HinsdaleGarden group are pleasedwith the volunteer responseto the BLM April 20 trainingday at the Hinsdale Gardensite. The 20 volunteers werenot only from Reedsport,some came fromScottsburg, Noti, Creswell,Florence and Bandon.Representatives from theAmerican RhododendronSociety were also therehelping. We were fortunateto have an almost dry day.

It was interesting thatpeople driving along stateHighway 38 noticed the gar-den was open. Some stoppedand toured the garden,which indicates the impor-tance of having the gardenopen more, especially dur-ing the blooming season.Someone commented to methat they thought this gar-den could draw more peoplethan the garden at ShoreAcres. The possibility isthere, because we are direct-ly on a major highway.

Open garden day is May11, 2013.

Attend meetingsand run for office

I am writing this letter torespond to Sara Jeffers’ April17 letter, in which she statesthat the Reedsport CityCouncil and the mayor arenot “leaders” and “remainfaithful followers of a cor-rupt government that is noton their side, despite whatthey think.”

Wow.That’s pretty harsh.Just to clear up some-

thing: When the city coun-cil and mayor vote for oragainst something there is a“yes” vote and a “no” voteand, sometimes, on occa-sion, there is an abstention.If you would have doneyour research, Sara, youwould know that threecounselors voted to allowMr. McKirgan’s presenta-tion for Oath Keepers onthe May 6 agenda to takeplace. Since those threevotes were not enough tocarry the motion, it failed.That is the way it tookplace. Yes, the result is thesame. It was defeated, butthat is the way our demo-cratic system works.

At the beginning of everycity council meeting, every-one says the Pledge ofAllegiance to our flag. Eachtime I say it, I mean it. It ispart of me, and I know andunderstand that many peo-ple died to protect thatright. I also have the right tovote. I also know people diedfor that right, too.

I know that we haveproblems in our govern-ment, but I do not followblindly and I don’t believethat any of the members ofthe city council or the mayordo, either.

I think you ought to cometo the city council meetingsand get your informationfirst hand. Or, you could runfor a position on the citycouncil. The city ofReedsport needs independ-ent thinkers and you justmight learn a thing or two. Iknow I have.

As reported in October,the Governor signedExecutive Order 12-07 (EO)outlining a process thatcould bring some changes tothe way thatDouglas, Josephineand JacksonCounties define andmanage low pro-ductivity farm andforest lands.

From a high level,the participatingcounties must agreeon a plan to re-zonelow producing agri-culture and forestland and show thatthe outcome will notsignificantly interfere withnearby farm and forest usesor with expansion of cities,be fiscally sustainable to gov-ernments and special dis-tricts, and be sustainable totransportation, water sup-plies, fire protection, wildlife,and fish and wildlife habitat.Collectively, this discussionis referred to as “carryingcapacity”, in that additionaldevelopment must not sig-nificantly interfere with whatcurrently exists.

In addition, the proposalmust be consistent with leg-islative policy and statute,and OK with the Departmentof Land Conservation &Development (DLCD). If wecan successfully navigatethat narrow path, the coun-ties can submit a proposal toDLCD to amend state plan-ning rules. DLCD then takesover and can amend the pro-posal, as can the LandConservation andDevelopment Commission(LCDC).

The work is in full swing.Mapping has been complet-ed, and a variety of mapsthat show zoning, parceliza-tion, soils, water, etc., havebeen made available to theTechnical AdvisoryCommittee (TAC). Thesemaps inform discussionsaround “carrying capacity”.

To see the maps, go towww.co.douglas.or.us/plan-ning/farm_forest_maps.asp

Our TAC has been select-ed and has met three times.

The first meetingwas an orientation tothe pilot project andan overview of therelevant laws andregulations that cur-rently govern the useof agriculture andforest lands. Thesecond meeting wasan overview of themaps and a discus-sion of carryingcapacity issues. Thethird meeting

refined the data and beganthe discussion aroundpotential small scaleresource concepts. Agendasand meeting minutes are atwww.co.douglas.or.us/plan-ning/farm_forest.asp

Funding for the projectwill end at the end of thestate’s fiscal biennium, June30, 2013. Commissionersfrom Douglas, Jackson &Josephine Counties haverequested that funding beextended so that the projectcan be completed.

I testified before theSenate Rural Communitiesand Economic DevelopmentCommittee about theprogress we have made andthe need to re-allocate theunspent funding to the newbiennium so that the projectcan be completed. The com-mittee is ably chaired bySen. Arnie Roblan who rep-resents the coastal region ofDouglas County. DLCDagrees that the projectshould continue, and we arehopeful that funding will beallocated.

Susan always welcomesyour questions or comments.Please contact her by email [email protected];by mail at Douglas CountyCourthouse, Room 217, 1036SE Douglas, Roseburg, 97470;or by phone at 440-4201.

Regional LandUse Update

BY KEITH TYMCHUK

In the next several daysReedsport voters, like thoseall over Oregon, will bereceiving their ballots for theMay 21 election date. Onthat ballot the voters inReedsport will have theopportunity to vote onBallot Measure 10-127. Thisis a measure the CityCouncil has respectfullyreferred to the voters.Measure 10-127 would sim-ply restore to the Councilthe ability to appropriatelyand carefully raise some feesand also reestablish a verysmall list of appropriate feesthat were recently erased in10-119. The fees impacted,such as those for launchingboats, renting the commu-nity building, acquiring apeddler’s 10-day business

license or having a propertyline adjustment are ALL feesthat are paid only by thoseindividuals or groups whorequest and use them.

The fees that Measure10-127 would impact arethose that are established bythe Council to help cover thecity’s cost of administeringthem. For example, the citysustains considerable cost inmaintaining and repairingour boat ramp, dock, andadjacent restrooms on theUmpqua River waterfront.Likewise, a property lineadjustment involves consid-erable city staff time. Itmakes great sense that thepeople who use these facili-ties or services are the oneswho pay for their use, andnot the general tax-payer inReedsport. Thousands ofboat-launches occur from

our ramp each summer andautumn by people who donot live in Reedsport.Shouldn’t these non-resi-dents help pay for the main-tenance of those facilities?Ballot Measure 10-127 wouldauthorize the Council toestablish appropriate fees,always with the opportunityfor community input, forjust those kinds of services.

With the passage ofBallot Measure 10-127 thosecitizens who don’t use theseparticular city services willnot pay for them. If youdon’t have a flood plainreview, you won’t berequired to pay for one. Ifyou don’t need a buildingpermit, you won’t berequired to pay for one. Ifyou don’t purchase a sand-bag from the city, you won’tbe required to pay for it.

Ballot Measure 10-127does not deal with utilityfees such as water, waste-water and storm water. Itwill have no impact onthem.

Ballot Measure 10-127allows the Reedsport CityCouncil, elected by you, toset responsible rates forservices and functions notoften used by the generalpublic. The purpose of theserates and fees is to helpdefray the city’s own costsfor materials, time andlabor, just so the generalpublic does not have to.

Measure 10-127 allowsfor a common senseapproach to rate and feestructure.

I urge you to vote YES onMeasure 10-127.

Keith Tymchuk is themayor of Reedsport.

Ballot measure 10-127 would restore theCouncil’s ability to raise appropriate fees

First FridayA special First Friday is

planned for this Friday night,May 3. CDABA (Coastal Artsand Business Alliance) is pre-senting the work of youngartists from ReedsportCommunity Charter School.The event takes place atCoastal Ceramicsbetween 5 and 7 p.m.You’ll be surprised bywhat the buddingartists have created.This isn’t one ofthose “student artshows” from ouryouth — where ash-trays were made inevery conceivableshape, size and color.Remember?

Well, this is not yourmama’s ashtray art show! Theartists presenting this showare serious, and with the helpof art teacher Kyle Mulliganand shop teacher GuyMarchione they have createdsome incredible work. Itemson display will include a bowand arrow, a flying ukulele, anornate bed frame and a gor-geous Myrtlewood table. Naryan ashtray in sight. The stu-dents will be on hand to dis-cuss the pieces and showphotos of other masterpieces.You’ll be surprised by thequality and the imagination ofthese talented kids.

Bring your checkbook andwhile you’re there, you canwrite that check you’ve beenmeaning to send to CDABA.

“Fountaineers” are neededto keep the “Confluence”fountain in top shape. Themetal sculpture requires acertain amount of mainte-nance and cleaning alongwith its operating costs.Donations of any amount arewelcome but go all the wayand pay $100, and you’ll be anofficial Fountaineer.

The other day I overheardsomeone say the ConfluenceFountain looks like the rem-nants of a traffic accident.What? No one who has takenthe time to get a good lookwould really think that! Itmade me think again of theimportance of our front lineworkers who represent us totourists. I hope they all knowthat “Confluence” representsthe apex of the Umpqua River,The Smith River and thePacific Ocean coming togeth-er. I hope they will encouragevisitors to take a close look atthe fountain because it hasintricate moving parts thatcause the wings of the birds toflap, heads to bob and thelight reflected beautifullyinvokes the image of movingwater. Pass it on!

What if we made a hugelist of all the best things to seeand do while visiting our area?Getting a good look at thefountain is my suggestion ofthe day — what’s yours? Sendme your idea of a “must see”here, and a tip on your favoritething to do. Email me at: [email protected] we get a good list we’llpost it everywhere the visitorsmight see it!

A musical interlude The Oregon Coast

Chamber Orchestra is plan-ning something special towrap up its 12th season. A freeconcert at Pacific Auditoriumthis Sunday at 2 p.m. is theperfect last note of the year.It’s a lighthearted and springyprogram with some classics bythe brothers Gershwin andothers of that ilk. An originalpiece written by CharlesPerkins especially for thisorchestra titled “North Fork”will debut. Singers will beltout some familiar show tunesand it’s the kind of stuff thatkeeps you whistling for days.The show is free but you’llneed a ticket just the same.Pick one up at Umpqua Bank.You’ll be guaranteed a seatwith the ticket but you canalso show up at the door andtake your chances. Non-ticketguests will be admitted on afirst come, first served basis.

...and more to sing about A great program at libraries

in Coquille, Myrtle Point andPowers will be presented nextSat. May 11. Storyteller andmusician Joe Ross brings “FolkTales of Old Japan” to lifeusing the traditional Japanese“paper drama” medium. Thelittle show uses painted cardsand a story box, sort of a pre-cursor to puppet theater inthat neck of the woods. Thestories are Japanese fairy talesthat were presented in thismanner routinely between the1920s and the 1950s on the

street corners of Japan.You may remember Joe

Ross from his performanceshere at Highland School andfor years at Tsalila. He bringsalong a variety of unusualmusical instruments and asong for every occassion. Beprepared for a sing-along,

because they tend toerupt everywhere Joegoes. He’ll be goingfast on Saturdaythough. The firstshow is at 11 a.m. inPowers, the second at1 p.m. at Myrtle Point,and the third atCoquille at 3:30. Makea day of it and seethem all!

Ocean Fest. Not.It looks like we’ve seen the

last of Ocean Fest. This is asad year in history forWinchester Bay andReedsport. There have been alot of warnings and slow startsto the O.F. planning, but thistime it appears it has finallyreally run its course. Therejust isn’t anyone willing totake on the responsibility andthe hours to make it happen.

It was a good run though.

Starting out as Fleet Daysthere were princesses thatwould go on to compete in theMiss Oregon pageant. Therehave been hundreds of thou-sands of spring rolls con-sumed, cotton candy, prontopups — the real ones, andenough tables of “unique”treasures to wrap around theearth two times. Julie Beck isthe hero of Ocean Fest, outthere directing vendor trafficand running the complaintdepartment for I don’t knowhow many years — 20?Enough years, apparently.

Along the way there havebeen dozens of runs atupgrading and changing thequaint little fest. A juried artshow caused mutiny onceupon a time. A best dresseddog show was a hit one year.

Carnival rides creaked andmusic blared. And the OceanFest Parade was the highlightof the weekend. Back beforewe knew about parades with amilitary marching band, localbusinesses gave all to decoratea float, including the infamousUmpqua Post fish made of aPontiac van, cleverly wrappedin what else — newspaper!But it’s all over now.

This could happen withother events too if we can’tget younger people on boardto do the work. Notice thatthe volunteers at these thingstend to be last generation’smodel. There’s lots of room atthe top for ambitious people.Know any?

Reference is made to the deed of trust under which Bert M Spradlin and Jan-ice D. Spradlin, as grantor, First Amer-ican Title is the trustee, and Citizens National Bank of Paris is the benefi-ciary, which was dated October 16, 2007 and recorded on October 23, 2007 as Instrument No. 2007-23012 in the Official Records of Douglas County, Oregon. By successive as-signments, the beneficial interest in said deed of trust was transferred to 21st Mortgage Corporation by docu-ment recorded on April 23, 2008 as In-strument No. 2008-7959.

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real prop-erty to satisfy the obligations secured by said deed of trust and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to ORS 86.735(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sums:

By reason of said default the benefi-ciary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by said deed of trust immediately due and payable, said sums being the following, to-wit:

$142,904.53; plus a per diem of $38.36; plus attorney and trustee’s fees and costs.

WHEREFORE, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee will, on Friday, July 29, 2013 at the hour of 11:00 A.M., in accord with the stand-ard of time established by ORS 187.110, at the Douglas County Courthouse located at 1036 SE Douglas St, Roseburg, OR 97470, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by grantor of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or grantor’s successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reason-able charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this fore-closure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by cur-ing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, and in addition to paying said sums or ten-dering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in en-forcing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee’s and attorney’s fees not exceeding the amounts pro-vided by said ORS 86.753.

for other activities, whyonline classes were a concern.

“The graduation rate forthe schooling program thatthey want to put in is 38 per-cent,” King said. “Here atReedsport, we had a 72 per-cent graduation rate. And, theworld’s already so technicalthat they don’t need to beputting our kids in front ofcomputers all day.”

King said she’d rather betalking to a teacher, than lis-tening to “an animated voiceon the computer.”

Superintendent JimThomas showed up at theschool about an hour after theprotest started. He said he

“I’m not going to tell youto go in,” Thomas said as hetried to gather the studentsaround him. “I respect whatyou’re doing. I mean, I’m a60s generation guy, myself.

“I think it’s really goodthat you’re being involvedand really taking a position.”

He said, however, the stu-dents should really beprotesting against the state.

“What I would also like,”Thomas continued, “is to getthe message out that the stateLegislature needs to provideadequate funding for schools.Because, unless they providethe funding for schools, we’renot going to have the ability tooffer programs the way we’vealways done in the past.That’s reality.”

He also urged the studentsto attend the budget hearing.

Thomas said the districtwasn’t planning to send allstudents to online school.

“We are looking at havingto do some electives and someadvance-placement (classes)only,” Thomas told the stu-dents. “We’re not looking ateveryone being online foryour program, here. OK? Justso you know that.”

Students stayed out ofschool for the entire day.

Some of the students didattended a school districtbudget committee meetingthat night. The meeting sitewas changed from theschool’s library to PacificAuditorium to handle thenumbers of people.

“Of course, WinchesterBay gets pretty wellslammed,” he said.

In the worst case sce-nario, Preist said,Winchester Bay could be hitwith waves 60 -to 70-feethigh.

“It’s more likely ... closerto 20 feet,” he continued.

And, he said, the firstwave, in a worst-case sce-nario, is likely to hit 23 min-utes after the quakes begin.

Reedsport would see thefirst wave, which could be16-feet high, about 40 min-utes after the quake begins.

He said that worst casehappens once or twice every10,000 years.

The presentation includ-

ed a look at brand new mapsto show tsunami evacuationareas. Those maps are avail-able from DOGAMI and willbe distributed door-to-doorthrough May.

Reedsport SchoolSuperintendent Jim Thomasalso addressed the crowd.

“It’s really exciting andinformative work that hasbeen done,” Thomas said.“It’s a serious work. TheDOGAMI maps. The plansfor evacuation.”

The night also includedinformation tables staffed byemergency-response agen-cies, communicationsgroups and a booth showinghow to create a “go” bag tocarry along in case of evacu-ation.

Another rally is sched-uled on Tue., May 21, at theHauser Community Church.The doors will open at 6p.m.

Residents look over the latest tsunami maps for the Winchester Bay, Gardiner and Reedsportareas Thursday evening.

“There’s not going to betime to listen for a siren orwait for police or fire tocome to your house andknock on your door and tellyou that you need to go.”

Reedsport Police ChiefMark Fandrey showed newassembly area maps in case atsunami hits the area. Hispresentation was part of atsunami rally at Pacific Aud-itorium Thursday, April 25.

The three assembly areasin Reedsport are the inter-section of 11th Street and FirAvenue, just up SchofieldLane from WinchesterAvenue and Crestview nearSixth Street. Those whoassemble there will thenmake their way, on foot, tohigher ground above the

downtown area.In Gardiner, the assembly

are is designated at Highand Second streets near St.Mary the Virgin EpiscopalChurch.

There are assembly areasdesignated in, and near,Winchester Bay. One is onApian Way, east of BroadwayAvenue The others are nearthe Lake Marie picnic area,up the Clear Lake trail fromthe dunes No. 3 parking areato U.S. Highway 101 and theother is on top of the hill onU.S. Highway 101, just southof Winchester Bay.

“Citizens have to beaware,” Fandrey said, “ thatwhen they feel that earth-quake, they have to move tothe assembly areas.”

Fandrey said, even if citi-zens don’t live in an inunda-tion zone, they may be in oneat the time a quake hits, andthey need to know where theassembly areas are.

“Just because you live inReedsport,” he said, “doesn’tmean you don’t need to knowwhere they’re at inWinchester Bay, because weall go down there and we craband we fish and ride thedunes.

“The more you knowabout the assembly areas,the more you know aboutwhere the general high-ground areas are and wherethe (inundation) zones are,the more prepared you’regoing to be.”

Know where you’regoing before a quake

resources they need to haveand what they need to bedoing.”

Tsunamis are classified asdistance events, such as the1964 Alaska earthquake, anda local event, which could hitoff the Oregon coast.

“It doesn’t scare me,”Morrison said of a localevent. “There’s not muchyou can do about it, just beprepared and practice andtalk to all your family and actwhen it comes.”

Three Braves win events in home meet

BY JOHN GUNTHERThe Umpqua Post

As Reedsport’s golf teamsgo through their final prepa-rations for next week’s dis-trict tournaments, the boyssquad won its home invita-tional on Friday an the girlshope to repeat the feat thisweek.

Montana Frame shot a 1-over 73 at Forest Hills to leadReedsport’s boys to the theirwin, though coach KentKristensen wanted to see bet-ter scores out of the otherteam members.

Andrew Wall shot a 91 andMitchell a 93, while DanielGentry had a 100 and AndyLopez a 104.

“Andrew didn’t have avery good day,” Kristensensaid, adding that Wall is capa-ble of shooting in the 70s —he had a round of even par atForest Hills on Sunday.

Kristensen is trying tobuild Wall’s confidence.

“He’s a great golfer,” thecoach said.

Mitchell has improved allyear, and is capable of shoot-ing in the 80s.

“He’s got talent,” Kristen-sen said. “He was a prettygood junior golfer before set-ting the clubs down for a cou-ple of years. He’s been improv-ing slowly, week by week.”

Aside from Frame, whohas consistently been the dis-trict’s top player, Kristensen isworking with the players onhaving a short memory onbad holes

“I’m going to focus on thisweek getting the messageacross that one hole doesn’tdictate your day,” he said.

As a team, the Braves haveeasily been the district’s topsquad, though they need toprove it next Monday andTuesday at SpringfieldCountry Club in the districttournament, when the toptwo teams will qualify forstate.

In addition to the win atForest Hills, the Braves won atournament last week atEmerald Valley, which willhost the state tournament.

Frame was medalist there,too, shooting a 33 on the back

nine to finish at 73.“He did that Friday, too,”

Kristensen said of Frame’s 35on the final nine holes atForest Hills. “He had a roughfront nine and he came backfine on the back nine battlingback.”

The Braves were atTokatee on Tuesday for theirfinal district tuneup (resultsweren’t available by presstime).

Reedsport’s girls, mean-while, were in Molalla for amatch against a number ofother top teams.

Coach Stu Richardsondescribed the match as “ourprep for districts” because ofthe level of competition.

On Friday, the Braves willget to see the rest of theleague foes one last timebefore the district tourna-ment next Monday andTuesday at Bandon Crossings.

Richardson expects all theleague’s teams to be fully rep-resented in the ReedsportInvitational at Forest Hills.

Monica Vaughn is thefavorite for the district tour-nament and MadiRichardson, the coach’sdaughter, should be amongthe top players.

Whether the team grabsone of the two state berthswill come down to MeganLaskey and Carly Glover.

“District always gets downto the 3s and 4s,” Richardsonsaid. “Who has a good dayand who has a bad day?”

The Braves have good fire-power at the top with Vaughnand Madi Richardson, whileGold Beach also has two solidplayers capable of shooting inthe 80s and Sutherlin hasBrooke Spencer, the onlygolfer to come close to beat-ing Vaughn this spring.

Richardson said he likeshow his team has beenpreparing.

“We’ve been putting a lot,”he said. “We’ve been chippinga lot. We’ve been having thegirls out on the course justplaying and playing. Now isthe time to start putting allour pieces together and makeour move.

“I’d really like to go (tostate) as a team.”
