SLSD seeks bond
committee
members
South Lane School District is
seeking members of the com-
munity to be on an Education
Bond Advisory Committee.
The charge of the committee
will be to look at the district’s
long-range Facility and Proper-
ty Plan and examine the funding
needed to turn the community’s
educational vision into a real-
ity. The SLSD Bond Advisory
Committee shall meet on a reg-
ular basis to review and priori-
tize facility needs and confer on
recommendations to the South
Lane School District Board of
Directors regarding a bond to
replace Harrison School and
consider other facility upgrades
to be included in the bond.
The School Board’s main
focus is a replacement school
for Harrison, but other facility
upgrades previously discussed
include technology and security
upgrades throughout the district,
a swimming pool, a baseball
fi eld, another turf fi eld and a
performing arts center/theatre.
Those interested in serving on
the committee can fi nd the ap-
plication on the district website
at slane.k12.or.us or by stopping
by the District Offi ce, located at
455 Adams Avenue. Completed
applications should be returned
to the District Offi ce by Mon-
day, Jan. 12 at 4 p.m.

Historic project
grants
The State Historic Preserva-
tion Offi ce is offering grants
for work on historic properties
and for archaeology projects.
The annual grants fund up to
$20,000 in matching funds for
preservation projects.
The Preserving Oregon Grant
can fund preservation of historic
buildings listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Work may include non-main-
tenance preservation like win-
dow repair, roof work, founda-
tion projects, and plumbing and
electrical needs.The Diamonds
in the Rough grants help restore
or reconstruct the facades of
buildings that have been heav-
ily altered over the years. The
grant’s purpose is to return the
buildings to their historic ap-
pearance and potentially qualify
them for historic register desig-
nation (local or national).
There will be grant workshops
on project planning and grant
writing. A two-hour workshop
will be in Salem on Feb. 3. A
one-hour webinar will be avail-
able on Feb. 5. To learn more
about the grants and workshops

through the Affordable Care
Act are also attempting to es-
tablish new relationships with
primary care physicians.
“That’s a good thing, because
we want people to have access
to the care they need, but it’s
an issue for all healthcare sys-
tems,” Herrmann said. “How
do we provide continued access
and new models for healthcare.
It’s a challenge for all of us,
and a reason we’re constantly
recruiting new physicians. Doc-
tors are an aging workforce, and
we’re always seeking new ways
to recruit ahead-of-time.”
Herrmann said the lack of
physicians has not effected
operations in Cottage Grove’s
Emergency Room. For those
seeking appointments with a
primary care physician, he rec-
ommended making one in ad-
vance wherever possible.
“If you’re able, book them out
as far as you can,” he said. “The
unknown is always the biggest
challenge. In the meantime, we
will continue service with the
walk-in clinic, as that may be
the best answer we have.”
in 2014,” Ziller said. “There
should be a signifi cant part of
the run this year. Some salmon
were caught in the Coast Fork,
and they were fi sh that had
spawned there, but not in num-
bers we might have expected
given the numbers of fi sh we
released. The return may be
stronger in 2015, and if it isn’t,
we may look to change things
over time. If the Coast Fork and
the Row are going to produce a
fi shery, 2015 would be the year
to see it.”
Ziller said that if a return by
Chinook to the area were to oc-
cur, it would typically happen
in late May or early June. If an-
glers are lucky enough to catch
one, he said ODFW would love
to know about it.
The agency planted salmon
at various points throughout the
river system in an effort not to
concentrate the spawning fi sh
below the dams, which will
stop their upstream progress
and could create the conditions
of “combat fi shing,” or anglers
jockeying for the opportunity
to catch fi sh in a concentrated
area.
“We’re hoping for a relaxed
Chinook fi shery that’s more
spread out so that people can
fi sh from a number of places,”
Ziller said. “It may be pie-in-
the-sky, but that’s what we en-
visioned.”
Should the fi sh start showing
up, Ziller said anglers will soon
know about it.
“There would be a great suck-
ing sound coming from the Row
and the Coast Fork,” he said.
