Ex-McNary coach headed Walking with KFD
to Oregon Hall of Fame
Oregon basketball coach-
ing legend Mike Doherty,
whose 1967-68 McNary
High School team won the
school’s fi rst state champion-
ship, will be inducted into the
Oregon Sports Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony
is Thursday, Nov. 19 at the
Multnomah Athletic Club in
Portland.
The Oregon Sports Hall
of Fame honors Oregon ath-
letes, teams, coaches and oth-
ers who have made a signifi -
cant contribution to sports in
Oregon. Upon his induction,
Doherty will become the fi fth
coach of Oregon boys bas-
ketball to be honor, joining
Nick Robertson (699 wins
in 41 years), Dick Gray (560
wins in 38 years) and James
Torson and John Warren, who
coached boys basketball be-
fore moving on to the colle-
giate ranks.
In 1965, Doherty was the
fi rst boys basketball coach
hired at the newly established
McNary High School. Dur-
ing four seasons, his teams
compiled a win-loss record
of 57-40, winning two league
championships and the 1968
state championship. The 1968
Celtics, with a 21-6 record,
were the fi rst in Oregon since
1928 to win a state champi-
onship during a school’s fi rst
state tournament appearance.
When he retired in 2012
following his 50th season,
Doherty’s Oregon high school
coaching record stood at 850-
390, the most wins ever by a
coach of Oregon prep basket-
ball and fi fth largest for wins
in the western United States.
In 2002, he was induct-
ed into the National High
School Athletic Coaches As-
sociation Hall of Fame, and
in 2007, was named National
Coach of the Year by the Na-
tional Federation of High
School Coaches Association.

Q. Can I put plastic bags into the big
blue recycle cart?
A. Sorry, plastic bags cannot go into the blue cart because they get
tangled in the sorting equipment and cause major delays.
TRY THESE HELPFUL IDEAS INSTEAD:
• Use them to tie-off odorous garbage before tossing into garbage cart
• Re-use them or, if possible, recycle them at the store that you got them from.
• Call the RECYCLE HOTLINE (503) 390-4000 for other possible recycling locations.
• Ask your store to bag your purchases in paper instead. Oregon law gives you the choice!

Library adds book drop
The Keizer Community
Library has added a secure
book drop outside its doors
at the Keizer Heritage Cen-
ter. The box is for returning
books and other media when
the library itself is closed.
Long-time library volun-
teer George Bachik rolled up
his sleeves, put his carpentry
skills to work and created a
custom book drop.
“The Board of Directors
of Keizer Community Li-
brary expressed a need for a
secure way patrons could re-
turn books when the library
is closed. I volunteered to
build a lockable ‘drop box.’
I used the Heritage Center
building as inspiration for the
design,” said Bachik “It was a
rewarding way to volunteer.”
“We could have pur-
chased a ready-made drop
box for hundreds of dollars,”
said Library Board President
Daisy Santana Hickman.
“But George came up with
a custom product that not
only saved limited resources,
but also refl ects our location
at the Heritage Center and
showcases Keizer’s volunteer
