providing convincing input with his first-hand ac-
counts.
One colorful aside, Bushue noted that a Farm Bu-
reau membership recruitment indirectly intro-
duced Dettwyler to his wife, Gail. In 1990, Gail Zie-
lesch, a member of the Marion County Farm Bureau
Board at that time, was working on expanding the
local grassroots membership.
“I said, ‘I’m going to visit the boys at Blue Line
Farms. They should be
Farm Bureau mem-
bers,’” said Gail. “I

Beyond the Farm
Oregon Farm Bureau Bureau, Dettwyler was
a founding member of
president
the Pudding Watershed
Council and has served
the Pratum Co-op, Oregon Ryegrass Commission,
Oregon Grass Seed Bargaining Association, and
Marion County Soil & Water Conservation District,
among other ag organizations.
“Bob is known and admired for his consistency,
loyalty, and kindness. He’s a reliable go-to person for
Marion County Farm Bureau and we’re grateful for
his decades of service,” Bushue said.
» In other OFB news from the annual meeting,
Marion County Farm Bureau was honored with a
County Farm Bureau Action Award.
Farm Bureau officials said the award is given to a
County Farm Bureau that has successfully devel-
oped an innovative project or program in the politi-
cal or public education arena within the last two
years. In Marion County’s case, the bureau demon-
strated the county’s rich agricultural resources to
state and local officials by cruising them to the
source.
“Since 2013, Marion County Farm Bureau has or-
ganized agriculture-themed bus tours to proactively
connect with elected officials, candidates, and legis-
lative staff,” Bushue said.
The county hosts a full-day bus tour highlighting
different agricultural commodities, processors, dis-
tributors, and ag research facilities in the Willam-
ette Valley, which provides decision-makers a great-
er understanding of and respect for Oregon agricul-
ture and its challenges.
OFB officials said the tours have been well re-
ceived and attended.
“These ag tours have successfully established
Marion County Farm Bureau as a go-to resource
when local government officials have questions
about Oregon agriculture and the impacts of public
policy on farmers and ranchers,” Bushue said. “The
program has excited members, the media, and the
public. It has been a successful program by any mea-
sure.”
» Wilco Farm Stores CEO Doug Hoffman was
honored with the Oregon Farm Bureau President’s
Award, which recognizes an individual who “con-
tributes in extraordinary ways to Oregon agricul-
ture, and therefore to Farm Bureau members.”
» “I am proud to give the OFB President’s Award
to Doug Hoffman,” Bushue said. “He has spent his
entire career supporting farm and ranch families
across several states and adding value to countless
agricultural businesses.”

Lilly May Gould, 74, went to be with
the Lord on Jan. 21, 2017. She was born in
Silverton, the daughter of Ernest and Le-
na (Stadeli) Kuenzi. She married Robert
Gould on Sept. 13, 1964. They had built
their home in the Silverton countryside,
where they raised their two children, Ka-
tie and John. They attended the Silverton
First Baptist Church for 30 years.
Lilly was extremely proud of her family. She was
very deep in her faith, raising her children and grand-
children to love the Lord. She enjoyed camping, fishing
and traveling. But she really loved having her family
close. She was known to be thoughtful and kind to ev-
eryone she was around. She could make a friend in any
situation, in any circumstance, and in any place. She
was generous with her time, and would love to visit for
hours. She was a great friend to all who knew her.

The Oregon State Board of Education met to discuss a temporary waiver that districts can request due to inclement weather.
Oregon allows schools to
cut hours lost to snow days
NATALIE PATE
STATESMAN JOURNAL
Oregon school districts now have a little leeway
when it comes to coping with instructional hours lost to
snow days and delays.
The Oregon State Board of Education unanimously
approved a temporary rule Thursday that will allow
districts to request up to 14 hours to count as missed
instructional time.
District boards will have to request permission from
Deputy Superintendent Salam Noor to excuse those
hours. If they are requesting a full waiver — which is
meant for schools in extreme circumstances — the
state board will vote on the request.
“I have heard from many district officials who say
that the flexibility available in previous years would be
helpful this year as they cope with a much more severe
winter than normal,” Noor said.
“We know that districts value instructional time, just
as we do, but recent storms ... hit some districts harder
than others,” he said. “Ultimately it will be up to each
district to come up with a plan best suited to its situation
to make up as much lost class time as possible.”
The 14-hour rule was changed in the past in order to
make sure school calendars provided as much class
time as possible. The board voted unanimously in 2015
to change the rule.
“As a Board, we know that one of the keys to increas-
ing our graduation rate is making sure students are in
class as much as possible, which is why we have fo-
cused on strengthening instructional time expectations
in recent years,” said Board Chair Charles R. Martinez,
Jr.
“But we also know some districts are running out of
options to respond to the unprecedented weather
events so far this year,” he said. “With this one-time,
temporary action we have ensured that there is ac-
countability by requiring a public hearing and written
justification at the district level, coupled with approval
at the state level on a case-by-case basis.”
In Oregon, students in kindergarten through eighth
grade must get 900 instructional hours. Grade 12 re-
quires 966 hours and grades nine to 11 require the most
instructional time, at 990 hours. Districts can decide to
make up time from closures and delays even if they
have not run out of extra time.
Emily Nazarov, the legislative coordinator for the
Oregon Department of Education, said they spoke with
members of the education community, including par-
ents, to gauge public opinion on the subject.
She said there was a mix of responses, with some
parents against the idea of valuable time for the stu-
dents being taken away and some in support since they
did not want days added.
House Representative Jodi Hack (R-Salem) did not
approve of the board’s decision.
“I am extremely disappointed that the board took
this action and did not give school districts the option of
thinking outside the box to come up with alternative so-
lutions for making up lost days,” she said in a statement.
Hack encouraged community members to contact
their local school board members and encourage them
to think outside the box to create alternative solutions
for making up the snow days.
“Alternative solutions might include extending the
school day by 15 to 30 minutes, limiting parent-teacher
conferences to evenings or shortening spring break to
be a four-day weekend rather than a week,” she said.
“Decisions like these do nothing to increase student
achievement in Oregon.”
Some districts, including Silver Falls, Dallas and
Woodburn, are not, at this time, planning to request per-
mission or a waiver.
More information will be provided as it becomes
available.

graduated at 85.4 percent, compared to the 74.8 percent
state average.
Oregon has set a goal of a 100 percent graduation
rate by 2025. No state graduates all of its high school
students, though Iowa and New Jersey reached 90 per-
cent in 2015.
“Although many of the gaps remain large, it is good
news for all Oregonians when the disparity in gradua-
tion rates decreases,” Oregon schools chief Salam Noor
said in a statement. “It is critical that we continue to
work together to help Oregon students achieve at their
highest potential.”
