6 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 2017 Pioneer Cemetery offers lunch on Memorial Day On Memorial Day, May 29, this year’s Pioneer Heritage Day at the Deadwood Pioneer Cemetary will be bigger and better than ever. Starting at noon with lunch, there will be free hot dogs, chili and drinks, and the public is welcome to contribute potluck items such as desserts or sides if desired. Enjoy old-time music by Guthrie. After lunch, there will be displays, items for sale, kids games and activities, and a living history presentation by Civil War expert Dave Burkett. Afterward, join in bringing together folk history and mod- ern technology by starting a geocache and learning GPS use. Bring your own GPS device or use one that can be provided. Try to win the pot at a GPS Poker Run, learn how to clean historic headstones, and give your opinion on current plans for a log-style gazebo, military museum, landscaping and ash garden. Bring a friend and a chair, and maybe a story or some- thing to share. Deadwood Pioneer Cemetery is located 13 miles east of Mapleton on Highway 36. Turn north on Deadwood Creek Road and take an imme- diate right on the gravel drive. Siuslaw Watershed Council to discuss LiDAR The Siuslaw Watershed Council (SWC) May general meeting will be Wednesday, May 31, at Big Bear Camp, located near Walton. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. Camp hosts Hal and Tonia have invited SWC to meet at the Retreat Center, tucked away up the Chickahominy. To get there, take Highway 126 and, just west of the Walton Store, turn on to Nelson Mountain Road. From there, proceed 4 1/2 miles to the Big Bear Camp Retreat Center sign on the left. Continue 1 mile to Big Bear Camp. “LiDAR and Landslides in the Siuslaw Watershed,” is the topic being given by Kami Ellingson, Watershed Program Manager, Siuslaw National Forest. Historically, landslides were identified and monitored using 1:24,000 aerial photog- raphy. In 1996, the state of Oregon funded an unprece- dented, ground-based land- slide study following a 100- year flood event. This study provided valu- able information to land man- agers, land owners and municipalities about the ori- gin, prevalence, size, travel distances of debris torrents and land management influ- ence on landslides in the coast range of Oregon. Now, LiDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging) cov- erage informs land manage- ment. LiDAR allows land managers to remove the vege- tation and look directly at the earth’s surface.
