Dowser
from 1A
will be conducting two work-
shops at Lane Community
College Florence Center next
week on the art and the science
of dowsing. But the informa-
tion that he will share with the
attendees of his workshop may
well surprise them.
“What I want to explain to
the public is that dowsing is not
about directly finding under
ground water. It is about find-
ing the magnetic fields associ-
ated with faults and fractures,”
he said.
The misperception of the
public, that it takes a special
skill or ability to identify

LCC Florence Center
Interim Director Russ Pierson
said, “Beyond herpersonable
style and breadth of experi-
ence, Margaret also brings
great depth to matters of par-
ticular interest to us here in
western Lane County —
including community partner-
ships, workforce development,
career smf technical education
and intimate familiarity with
careers in healthcare.”
Hamilton sees her back-
ground in nursing as an
invaluable tool in understand-
ing and working with the
health care industry.
“The other side is business
and industry. I have great
experience with health care. I
am comfortable speaking with
hospital CEOs, finding out
what their hiring needs are,
meeting with hospital repre-
sentatives
and
advisory
groups — finding out what
they need to create jobs and
career ladders,” she said.
She said she was in favor of
“stackable credentials” —
going from learning a job
skill to pursuing a two-year
degree and beyond to expand
underground water, is one that
Landau hopes to dispel.
“What I also want the public
to realize is that there is no gift
involved and there is no secret
to this process,” Landau said.
“Anybody
can
dowse.
Dowsing rods and wire are
simply indicating a change in
the magnetic field, not neces-
sarily the presence of under-
ground water. What you are
actually finding are fractures
where water may be.”
Landau will be offering his
unique perspective on the art
and science of dowsing on
Wednesday, Feb. 15, and
Saturday, Feb. 18.

career paths.
“I’m just the new guy com-
ing in, but I would probably
want to expand occupational
training
even
more,”
Hamilton said. “That will be
my No. 1 priority because it
will be a win-win for the col-
lege. It will get me and the
name Lane out there more.”
She added, “(LCC campus
in) Florence is a perfect exam-
ple. It is a blend of credit and
non-credit courses.”
Hamilton has a doctorate
from Widener University,
West Chester, Pa., 1995; a
master of science from the
University of Delaware,
Newark, Del., 1983; and a
bachelor of science from State
University of New York at
Plattsburgh, 1978.
Hamilton is expected to
begin work sometime prior to
Spilde’s retirement on June
30. The board will continue to
negotiate contract details,
but a preliminary agreement
reached this week includes a
three-year term beginning
July 1, and an annual starting
salary of $203,000.
Hamilton plans to visit
Eugene in April and intends to
be settled in sometime in June
so she can begin her new role.

Miller said a small land-
slide was reported Thursday
night, south of Yachats on
Highway 101.
The Dunes City area also
had its share of flooding and
weather-related problems. A
mudslide on Lake Boulevard
blocked one lane of traffic
south of the Siltcoos River
Outlet Bridge, prompting
Lane County Public Works to
assess the damage.
Lane County also continues
to monitor the area around
Sunday’s
landslide
on
Highway 126, which flowed
into a woman’s RV, trapping
her and an infant inside.
The Florence area should
receive a break in the weather
for the next several days.
According to the NWS, rain is
not forecast to return until
Tuesday or Wednesday and
winds are predicted to be light
for the next week.
