“This year, while there
are some key leader-
ship positions that have
changed, it’s pretty close to
a typical year as far as num-
bers are concerned. Nine-
teen administrators and
we had three folks leave in
the same year. Again, we
hate to see anybody go but
again, that’s not that many.
Three of 19 isn’t huge,” said
McCasline. “It is huge in
that you have to replace
them.”

PeaceHealth Cottage Grove Community
Medical Center was recently was recognized na-
tionally as a finalist for the QUEST Award for
High-Value Healthcare for 2019 at Premier’s an-
nual Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition
on June 18 in Nashville. It is the fourth straight
year Cottage Grove has received these honors
from Premier.
QUEST is a national quality improvement col-
laborative of about 250 hospitals within Premier,
Cottage Grove was one of 15 hospitals nation-
wide — and the only one in Oregon — to be a
finalist for the High-Value Healthcare Award,
which recognizes top performance in any four
of the five areas of patient care measured by the
QUEST collaborative: Patient safety, effective
care and coordination, patient and family ex-
perience, prevention and treatment for leading
causes of mortality and affordability.
“This recognition speaks to our commitment
to consistently deliver the best care experience to
the patients we are privileged to serve,” said Tim
Herrmann, Cottage Grove chief administrative
officer. “We’re proud to be named a finalist of
this QUEST Award as we continue on a path to
improve patient outcomes and our community’s
health.”
Also, for the fifth straight year, Cottage Grove
received a Premier Supply Chain Excellence
Award for superior supply expense performance.
It was one of 13 winners nationwide.
Author Ken Bachelder to be
featured at Bookmine
Local author Ken Bachel-
der will be holding a book
signing at the Cottage Grove
Bookmine this Friday, June
28, during the monthly Art
Walk between 6 and 8 p.m.
Bachelder’s first book, “The
Wish and the Waterfall,”
introduced Willoughby, a
14-year-old boy struggling
with the loss of his father
and being bullied. He takes
a spell binding trip into an-
other world of wonder, pain,
magic and strength. Bachel-
der utilizes his vast knowl-
edge of the Oregon forests in
his writings, leading readers
to know the characters on a
personal level.
Bachelder’s second book,
“Wolf, Witch, Warrior,” was
published in the fall of 2018
The replacement process
was in full effect last week
as CGHS filled the top va-
cancies at the school. At
the June 17 SLSD school
board meeting Matt My-
ers, who was most recently
at Churchill High School,
was announced as the new
assistant principal/athletic
director. (For more on My-
ers in the role of athletic di-
rector, see B1.) Myers was
one of 35 applicants for the
position.
Last Friday, SLSD an-
nounced that Kevin Her-
ington will be the new
principal at CGHS. A press
release from the district
stated that Herington has
eight years of experience
as a building administrator
and for the last three years
has been the director of
Career and Technical Edu-
cation at the 4J School Dis-
trict in Eugene. Herington
was one of 18 applicants for
the position of principal.
The SLSD has not hired
an assistant superinten-
dent.
The other recent moves
across the district have in-
cluded the movement of
principals and assistant
principals. The adminis-
Ken Bachelder
and he is currently work-
ing on the third instalment.
Come meet the author,
have him sign a copy of his
book and learn more about
the creative development
of a story in the making
for 40 years. Bachelder will
be featured for a book talk
through the Cottage Grove
Library in the near future
and is available to speak to
interested book clubs.
trative musical chairs start-
ed after Lincoln’s principal
Jeremy Smith took the po-
sition of high school suc-
cess coordinator at CGHS.
This move put Bill Bech-
en, who has been the prin-
cipal at London, to become
the new principal at Lin-
coln. Laurie Melendy, the
former assistant principal
at Bohemia, then filled Be-
chen’s job as she is now the
principal at London. This
then moved Anne Fisk,
principal of the now closed
Latham, to become assis-
tant principal at Bohemia.
“We’ve had a lot of lon-
gevity, which is great, and
I’m sure we’ll have longev-
ity in the future but there
were several moves right
now. And part of that is
also, if you’ll remember, is
because of Latham. Latham
closed and we have to place
that principal somewhere
as well. There was going
to be some movement and
there was just more move-
ment than we’ve had in a
few years,” said McCasline.
Kim Scrima, who served
as principal at Al Kennedy
High School while prin-
cipal Halie Ketcher was
on maternity leave, is now
principal at Kennedy while
Ketcher is an assistant
principal at CGHS.
“With movement comes
opportunity,” said Mc-
Casline. “Change some-
times can be really good so
we’re looking forward to all
these new administrators
and teachers and moving
forward and making great
things happen for kids.”
