Measure #20-319
Voters will also see Mea-
sure #20-319 on their ballot
this May, which supports
4-H and Oregon State Uni-
versity Extension programs
in Lane County.
OSU Extension pro-
grams seek to address the
needs of local communi-
ties such as food security,
health, gardening and land
stewardship. Among these,
4-H is a youth develop-
ment program which gives
young people hands-on
learning experiences.
The measure seeks to
continue and expand these
services by implementing a
local option tax of 2.8 cents
per $1,000 of assessed land
value for five years.
For example, a property
assessed at $200,000 would
be charged $5.60 per year.
Note: Ballots for the May
18 Special Election are expect-
ed to begin arriving as early as
today. Those who plan to vote
by mail should plan to return
their ballot no later than May
10 to assure their ballot arrives
in time.

The Bohemia Mining Days Board of Directors & members of our
Production Team are honored that Sentinel readers voted BMD as the
most missed event last year!
We want the community to know we continue to meet multiple times
a week to plan a smaller scaled event on the third weekend of July!
With lost festival revenue last year we have a tiny production budget
for BMD 2021 so our annual community celebration will be different
this year. This is why we’re introducing new fundraising events this
year.
We are making the Slabtown vs. Lemati Feud virtual & all year long.
We are delighted to announce the the Covered Bridge
Brewing Group will serve as Slabtown’s official
watering hole/city hall & Lemati’s will be The
Brewstation.
We will soon introduce a year-round Feud Food
Fight with participating restaurants, food trucks &
coffee stands.
We are introducing a new Feud competition: Ore
Cart Races on our annual weekend in mid-July.
At a May 6 press conference we will share details of
our planning efforts to generate the smiles & special
memories that earned us this special award.
