Formally known as, Yorkies 2nd Hand
ith a generous donation from the
Coast Fork Fund of The Oregon
Community Foundation, the Cottage Grove
High School Link Leader Class has part-
nered with the Community 101 program
in order to grant $5,000 to a nonprofi t or-
ganization in this area. Students participat-
ing in the Community 101 program learn
to identify community issues, research and
interview nonprofi ts and review grant appli-
cations.
The student body and Link Crew class
have decided to focus on organizations that
help provide resources that enable our com-
munity to overcome challenges and create a
stable environment. This may include pro-
grams dealing with drug and alcohol abuse,
homelessness, teen pregnancies and stress/
mental health. Grant applications are avail-
able to nonprofi t organizations within South
Lane County and are due by Dec. 15. For
more information, contact Ricky Knutson at
(541) 942-3391 or Ricky.Knutson@Slane.

Thanksgiving holiday weekend
– take the family fi shing.
On Friday and Saturday, Nov.
25 and 26, fi shing, crabbing and
clamming in Oregon will be
free. That means no licenses,
tags or endorsements are needed
on those days. (Though all other
fi shing regulations apply.)
The ODFW website offers
ways to help get started.
While the weather can be
challenging at Thanksgiving,
fall can be a great time to go
trout fi shing: many ponds and
lakes have been stocked this fall
and fi sh are feeding hungrily for
the winter. In addition, Oregon
Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment is waiving day use fees at
state parks (Friday only), some
of which include great fi shing
opportunities.
“We’re hoping anglers have
so much fun and success at this
free fi shing weekend, they’ll
want to participate in a second
free fi shing weekend scheduled
for Dec. 31 and Jan. 1,” Har-
grave said.
The additional free fi shing
weekends were authorized by
the 2015 Oregon State Legisla-
ture as a way of introducing new
anglers to the sport.
For more help deciding on
your holiday fi shing destination,
check out the ODFW Recreation
Report for the latest conditions.
