Crystal Osburn is an administrative assistant at the elementary school who works from 1A funding to support the dredging of Oregon coastal ports. His efforts played a key role in procuring the extensions of the North and South Jetties and the needed funding for continued dredging on the Siuslaw River. Ternyik’s heritage was mixed, being descended from Solomon Smith, a Bostonian that emigrated to Oregon in 1832, and Celiast Cobaway, a daughter of a chief of the Clatsop Indian tribe. Ternyik was an avid collector of native arti- facts and felt a strong affinity for his Indian her- itage. He represented his community on the Lane Council of Governments and the Oregon Coastal Zone Management Association and continued to his involvement in wetland and marsh restoration for many years. He and his wife, Joyce, were involved in wildlife preservation and spent many years as wildlife rehabilitators for a variety of ill or injured animals. Because of his dedication to the community and action on civic issues, he was honored as Florence’s First Citizen in 1971. A special feature recapping Ternyik’s life and his colorful history within the Siuslaw region will be in this Saturday’s edition of Siuslaw News. closely with the students. She believes the book project is a good example of the work done by the students participating in the Kindness Club. “We are very excited about this book drive. We are so grateful to have a student at our elementary school that is really going above and 9 A beyond for our community,” Osburn said. “We look for- ward to seeing how many books we can deliver to SOS and the DHS office for all those in need.” For more information on the book drive or to donate money or books directly, call Ariel Kramer at 541-905- 2842.
