Appeal Tribune Wednesday, November 23, 2016 3A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks for success of Rock the Casino PHOTO COURTESY HIGHLAND LABORATORIES Highland Laboratories executive team, clockwise from bottom left: Robert Ugianskis, CEO; John Mills, Director Of Quality and Compliance; Michael Carlson, COO; Keith Gregory, CFO; Catherine Douglas, Marketing Director. Highland Laboratories outlines plans for growth LEE CLARKSON STATESMAN JOURNAL Highland Laborato- ries, a Mt. Angel-based contract and private label vitamin and supplement manufacturer, an- nounced the one-year mark of CEO Robert Ugianskis’ tenure and outlined growth plans in a news release. Ugianskis said in the release that Highland is adding shifts, expanding capacity, and appointing strong individuals in key leadership positions. He said that growth is occur- ring as Highland utilizes experienced leadership along with the ideas of new executive staff. COO Michael Carlson and Director of Quality and Compliance John Mills combine to boast 36 years of experience at Highland. CFO Keith Gregory and Marketing Manager Catherine Douglas joined Highland earlier this year. Highland has seen a 133 percent increase in net earnings year over year, and recently added a second shift in manufac- turing. “I’m excited to con- tinue my leadership at Highland Laboratories,” Ugianskis said. “This is a great time in our compa- ny and we’re looking for- ward to continuing to- day’s success.” Best eclipse campsites booked in record time ZACH URNESS STATESMAN JOURNAL It didn’t take long for campsites with the best views of next summer’s solar eclipse to get snapped up. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department opened a special period for reserving campsites within the “path of total- ity” — sites with a full view of the once-in-a-life- time phenomenon — at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 17. In less than an hour, ev- ery campsite, yurt and cabin was reserved, ac- cording to OPRD’s Twit- Eclipse Continued from Page 1A each come up with some- thing they’d like to mea- sure at 90,000 feet and de- sign some kind of device to measure it,” Bay said. Students might choose to measure particulates in the air – or something else entirely, Perttu said. The winning school’s device would then be included in the collection of instru- ments that goes up with the balloon next August. Second-place and run- ner-up finishers may get to see their projects in ac- tion too, because the high ter feed. However, there are some campsites just out- side the “path of totality” that remain open for res- ervation, the state agency said in a news release. To make a reservation, visitors can go to oregon- stateparks.org, navigate to a park, and click the “Reserve Online” button. Parks just outside the path of totality (http:// bit.ly/OregonStateParkE- clipseMap) will experi- ence a partial eclipse. The eclipse will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 11:30 a.m. Aug. 21, 2017, OPRD said. The 60-mile wide path of totality — when the moon completely blocks the sun — will last for about two minutes starting at 10:15 a.m. on the coast between New- port and Lincoln City. The path of totality then sweeps through Oregon, including across Salem, across the Cascades and into Central Oregon. As of 11 a.m. Nov. 17, reservable sites in the zone of a partial eclipse are available at these parks: COAST Nehalem Bay State Park, Tillamook County Cape Lookout State school team will launch a test balloon. “It will be exciting to see what different ele- mentary and middle school teachers feel like they could do with their schools,” said Perttu, who said she and Bay are also trying to craft a unit study for teachers interesting in studying the eclipse in- depth Getting that test bal- loon into the air is the high school team’s main focus now. Most other teams have launched their bal- loons already, as Silverton joined the project late. Oregon’s only other high school team on the nation- al project, North Med- ford, conducted their test in April. It was parent Rick Krause, who works for Oregon Institute of Tech- nology as a STEM (sci- ence, technology, engi- neering and math) learn- ing coordinator, who brought this NASA re- search opportunity to Sil- verton High staff’s atten- tion. Six to 12 months after other teams had been se- lected, he helped Silver- ton sign up and land one of NASA’s “extra” equip- ment kits, valued at $8,000. “He volunteered us, and, as soon as we heard about it, with knew, ‘Yeah, this is definitely some- thing we want to do,’” Helms said.

Some are able to donate in exchange for the meal, while others have hit hard times or are unable to cook for them- selves, he said. Regard- less, they’re welcome to come and eat. “We’d love to have them,” said DeSantis, a Silverton native. He’s run the brewery with his busi- ness partner Josiah Kel- ley since 2008. He said the event draws up to 200 families and he expects a full house this year. And although the ta- phouse usually maintains a casual vibe, the Thanks- giving dinner will see it classed up a bit, DeSantis said. “It’s a sit down dinner,” he said. “We dress up the tap room. All the tables will have linens on them.” Diners will be treated to standard Thanksgiving fare — turkey, spiral cut ham, vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy — and may leave a donation if they are able. The pro- ceeds are split between the After School Activ- ities Program and Silver- ton Area Community Aid, two local nonprofits. The event will raise $2,400 in a good year, De- Santis said. He said the dinner would be impossible with- out the generosity of local vendors. Roth’s Fresh Markets donates turkey and potatoes. BrucePAC Meat Products gives hams. Franz provides bread. The taproom staff also play a crucial role. DeSan- tis said his crew donates their time for the event. It’s only afterward that they sit down for their own Thanksgiving meals — but with a smile after having served so many, DeSantis said. “It’s become a day of service,” he said. “It’s very much a family af- fair.” Invest in something that matters to you Tax-free municipal bond % 3.87 OREGON ST FACS AUTH REV lets you invest close to home.
