The first service, which will

brother and sister veterans in
the National Cemetery at long
last. Invited guests are federal,
state, county and city officials.
Arrive at least 45 minutes be-
fore the service to secure park-
ing.
Long-delayed military hon-
ors and the laying of rest of
these veterans will include a
flag line, processions accom-
panied by various veteran
motorcycle groups, singing of
the National Anthem, prayers
by chaplains of various veter-
an groups, eulogies, reading
of obituaries, Bell Ringing
ceremony, rifle salutes, flag
folding, playing of taps and
presentations by Vietnam Vet-
erans of America, Veterans of

day.
The third service, May 16,
will inurn seven Navy veterans

The veteran cremains were
discovered in an unclaimed
forgotten status by Carol Hunt,
president of Douglas County
Wings of Love, and Glenda
Shannon, past Roseburg VA
National Cemetery Technician
at a local funeral home. Every
effort has been made to dis-
cover family and relatives and
this search will continue.
Election from A1
position is currently held by
Mike Caven, who has been
board president since 2013,
and will not run again this
year.
Voters can write in candi-
dates for the position.
heating and cooling systems
are also cited as needing to
be addressed.
Th e infrastructure is also
not compliant with the
Americans with Disabilities
Act and parts of the building
do not meet accessibility re-
quirements.
A salient safety concern
involves the sharing of cor-
ridors and an elevator by
judges, court staff , jurors,
victims, defendants and in-
mates.
Th ere was no organized
opposition to the bond as
of press time, though re-
tired Lane County attorney
John G. Cox submitted his
opposing viewpoint stating
that the county’s “disconnect
between wants and needs”
drove those in charge to
push forward with too large
and too expensive of a proj-
ect without accurately as-
sessing what is needed.
If the measure passes, $94
million in state and $4 mil-
lion in federal funding is
expected to accompany the
$154 million county bond. A
county ordinance stipulates
that the county bond cannot
be issued until the state con-
tribution is approved.
If the measure does not
pass, no bonds will be issued
and the courthouse will not
be constructed.
$1,000 assessed value for
general operations of schools
for the next fi ve years, begin-
ning in 2020.
Th e measure is a renewal
of a November 2014 local
option levy to provide fund-
ing for school instructional
programming and retaining
teachers and staff . At the
proposed rate, the levy is es-
timated to raise $1,062,000
of revenue over fi ve years.
If the measure passes, the
fi ve-year local option levy
will be renewed.
If the measure does not
pass, estimates furnished by
the school district conclude
that it will need to reduce its
budget by $200,000 for the
2020-21 school year.

Lane County
Measure 20-299
Measure 20-299, titled
“funding a safer, more acces-
sible and adequately sized
county courthouse,” poses
the question to Lane Coun-
ty voters of whether or not
to build a new courthouse
in Eugene to improve safety,
accessibility, effi ciency and
service by issuing $154 mil-
lion in bonds over 20 years.
It is estimated the approv-
al of the bonds will cost a
landowner with a median
assessed property value of
$187,000 approximately $50
annually.
Proponents of the mea-
sure point out that the
60-year-old courthouse has
signifi cant safety, space and
operational limitations in a
building that has doubled its
population since being built.
Th ese issues aff ect the length
of trials, security and acces-
sibility. Chronic problems
with plumbing, electrical,
