The Nugget Newspaper Crossword
ANDERSON: Columnist
is moving to the

Nicole Vulcan and her team.
Incredibly, I9m still getting
responses for stories I wrote
decades ago that have gone
out into the vast worldwide
Internet.
All these patient car-
ing people (and so many
more I took the time to lis-
ten to) have made me what
my grandfather called,
<A Success.= During the
early part of World War
II I9d go with him in his
horse drawn wagon from
the farm we lived on into
the town of West Haven,
Connecticut, where we
would sell produce and dairy
products.
One afternoon I hap-
pened to come upon him
sitting at the kitchen table
counting the money we col-
lected on that day9s trip. As I
approached him he looked up
with a bunch of coins in his
hand, smiled and said, <By
golly, Jimmy I9m a success;
I9m doing what I want to do,
doin9 it the best I can and get-
tin9 paid for it.=
And that, dear readers,

Jim Anderson. A success.
became my goal in life.
But now, although I still
have a lot more stories in my
head and heart, I9m prepar-
ing to leave my home here
of many years and with my
wife of nearly 50 years, join
our son, Caleb, and his fam-
ily over in Eugene, where
sooner or later, I9ll go out
among the stars.
So long, dear read-
ers, I9ve sure enjoyed our
time together. Thanks for
all you9ve taught me and I
hope we9ll meet again some-
where pleasant and relive
the wonderful times we9ve
shared on this grand old
Earth, our home away from
Home.
— Last Week’s Puzzle Solved —
The World9s all right; serene I sit, And joy that I am
part of it;
And put my trust in Nature9s plan,
And try to aid her all I can;
Content to pass, if in my place
I9ve served the uplift of the Race.
Truth! Beauty! Love! O Radiant Day 4
What ho! The World9s all right, I say.

Trailhead changes for
Whychus fish project
The Whychus Trailhead
off Forest Road 16 south of
Sisters will be closed to allow
for construction of a project
to improve fish passage in the
area. The Whychus Trail will
remain accessible.
The trailhead closure
began on September 8 and
will end on October 30. The
closure is for public safety
and to allow heavy equipment
to operate safely in the project
area. A temporary parking lot
and trailhead is located 500
feet southwest of the closed
trailhead. A temporary trail
has been constructed to pro-
vide access to the Whychus
Trail. Eastbound hikers will
be directed to use the tem-
porary trail to the temporary
parking lot and asked not to
enter the construction area.
The Plainview Fish
Passage project will create
an irrigation diversion fish
screen, install a pipeline and
remove a dam. The screening
is being done to keep redband
trout and steelhead from
entering an irrigation ditch.
The dam removal will allow
fish to access habitat in upper
Whychus Creek.
Plainview ditch is not cur-
rently screened and allows
redband trout and steelhead
to enter the ditch and not
return to Whychus Creek. The
dam that pushes water into
the ditch is an upstream fish
migration barrier.
A new fish screen will
be installed, a pipe will be
installed to carry some of the
water, and the dam will be
removed. Gravel, boulders
and logs will be placed in the
section of Whychus Creek
to stabilize the channel after
dam removal.
According to the Forest
Service, the project sup-
ports Chinook salmon and
steelhead trout reintroduc-
tion into the upper Deschutes
Basin. The project also helps
to protect native redband
trout.
