HISTORY of the ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST Volume 2 — 1933-1969 HISTORY OF THE ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST Volume 2 — 1933-1969 Compiled by Carroll E.

SMITH 1899 - 1965 This volume of history is dedicated to Miss Janie V. Smith, who began her Forest Service career in 1920 on the Crater National Forest, and ended it thirty-nine years later on the same Forest after its name was changed to Rogue River. Miss Smith was born November 2, 1899, in Sandusky, Ohio. She was appointed to the Crater National Forest as a stenographer on February 4, 1920. Prior to this, she attended Oregon Agricultural College, now known as Oregon State University. From the first, it was apparent that Janie (as she was affectionately called by everyone who knew her) possessed the attributes for outstanding achievement. Within ten years she was appointed Chief Clerk. In 1939 she received a promotion to Administrative Assistant, and in 1957 became the only woman in the U. S. Forest Service to hold the title of Administrative Officer. Without exception, the five Forest Supervisors under whom Janie served had high praise for her ability and sincere devotion to duty. It was she who helped each new Supervisor become oriented quickly, and kept him advised on business management phases of Forest Service Work. Janie's retirement on May 31, 1959, was that in name only. Not one to idle, she contributed many hours of volunteer work at the Rogue Valley Memorial Hospital; and always was helping someone - a fact she disparaged. On September 29, 1965, Janie died - and the loss was keenly felt. For years, to mention the Rogue River National Forest was to think of Janie. For many of us, this is still so. We are proud to have known her, and respectfully dedicate this book to her memory. PREFACE Volume II of "History of the Rogue River National Forest" contains an addendum to Volume I. This consists of a few pictures taken during the period 1925 - 1931, and a copy of Executive Order No. 5882 which changed the name of the Forest from "Crater" to "Rogue River." Relief measures enacted to pull the Nation out of the chaos following the depression years of the late twenties are described in Volume II, as well as major events on the Forest from 1933 through 1969. Much more complete lists of Forest personnel are available for recent years, than for those years considerably in the past. So, beginning with 1955, only the Forest Supervisor and District Rangers, and the Supervisor's principal Staff, are listed within the history for each year. Other personnel are listed in the Appendix. Acknowledgment is due the persons who worked to make this volume possible. Jean Lomax spent many hours researching newspapers and activity reports to compile Forest accomplishments, and Kathryn Wellman did considerable editing of the material. Florence Renaker, now retired, designed the front cover, as she did for Volume I. George Wooding selected pictures and cropped them for proper perspective. Betty Duffield and Carolyn Chesnut typed the material and proofed it. Grace Sprague wrote the dedication message to Janie Smith, the Forest Administrative Officer for many years. Several others helped; for those not specifically mentioned, thanks for a job well done. Carroll E.

Executive Order ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST OREGON In order to avoid the confusion growing out of a similarity of names of the Crater Lake National Park and the Crater National Forest, in the State of Oregon, it is hereby ordered that the name of the "Crater National Forest" be changed to "Rogue River National Forest."

    TABLE 1 GEOLOGIC FIELD-TRAINING OF NASA ASTRONAUTS BETWEEN JANUARY 1963 AND NOVEMBER 1972 The following is a year-by-year listing of the astronaut geologic field training trips planned and led by personnel from the U.S. Geological Survey’s Branches of Astrogeology and Surface Planetary Exploration, in collaboration with the Geology Group at the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas at the request of NASA between January 1963 and November 1972. Regional geologic experts from the U.S. Geological Survey and other governmental organizations and universities s also played vital roles in these exercises. [The early training (between 1963 and 1967) involved a rather large contingent of astronauts from NASA groups 1, 2, and 3. For another listing of the astronaut geologic training trips and exercises, including all attending and the general purposed of the exercise, the reader is referred to the following website containing a contribution by William Phinney (Phinney, book submitted to NASA/JSC; also http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/ap-geotrips.pdf).] 1963 16-18 January 1963: Meteor Crater and San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, Arizona (9 astronauts). Among the nine astronaut trainees in Flagstaff for that initial astronaut geologic training exercise was Neil Armstrong--who would become the first man to step foot on the Moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission in July 1969! The other astronauts present included Frank Borman (Apollo 8), Charles "Pete" Conrad (Apollo 12), James Lovell (Apollo 8 and the near-tragic Apollo 13), James McDivitt, Elliot See (killed later in a plane crash), Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10), Edward White (later killed in the tragic Apollo 1 fire at Cape Canaveral), and John Young (Apollo 16).

    Rogue River Watershed Council Bear Creek Working Group Monday, August 10, 2015 8:30 am - 10:30 am Conference Room 151, Lausmann Annex, City of Medford MEETING MINUTES In attendance: Steve Mason, John Ward, Robert Coffan, Lori Tella, Natasche O’Brien Legg, Bob Jones, Ray Tharp, Eric Dittmer, Louise Shawkat, Ed Olson, Shane Jimerfield, Amie Martin Call to order: 8:40am by Working Group Chair, Steve Mason Rogue River Watershed Council Update Two new program managers have been hired: Donna Chickering and Sarah Sauter. Brian Barr has been busy out at Wimer and Fielder dams on Evans Creek. Removal of Wimer dam was completed and crews mobilized to Fielder dam downstream. Low flows in Evans Creek caused turbidity issues during the removal. The dams should be completely out by the end of August. Proposal from Lori Tella and Jennie Morgan As part of the merger, most of Bear Creek Watershed Council’s unrestricted funds moved into a “dedicated” fund, which restricts that money for use in the Bear Creek watershed. Bear Creek Watershed Education Partners (BCWEP) has historically run the Kids and Creeks event, with the Bear Creek Watershed Council as the major partner. The events offers an opportunity for people to learn about the Bear Creek watershed, contributing factors to water pollution, and see spawning salmon. The Rogue River Watershed Council (RRWC) would like to see the event continue, but BCWEP lost its funding for this year, so the RRWC would have to take the lead. Requested from the working group is approval to use a small portion of Bear Creek dedicated funds to help support the event.

  • Evidence for Impact-Generated Deposition
    EVIDENCE FOR IMPACT-GENERATED DEPOSITION ON THE LATE EOCENE SHORES OF GEORGIA by ROBERT SCOTT HARRIS (Under the direction of Michael F. Roden) ABSTRACT Modeling demonstrates that the Late Eocene Chesapeake Bay impact would have been capable of depositing ejecta in east-central Georgia with thicknesses exceeding thirty centimeters. A coarse sand layer at the base of the Upper Eocene Dry Branch Formation was examined for shocked minerals. Universal stage measurements demonstrate that planar fabrics in some fine to medium sand-size quartz grains are parallel to planes commonly exploited by planar deformation features (PDF’s) in shocked quartz. Possible PDF’s are observed parallel to {10-13}, {10-11}, {10-12}, {11-22} and {51-61}. Petrographic identification of shocked quartz is supported by line broadening in X-ray diffraction experiments. Other impact ejecta recognized include possible ballen quartz, maskelynite, and reidite-bearing zircon grains. The layer is correlative with an unusual diamictite that contains goethite spherules similar to altered microkrystites. It may represent an impact-generated debris flow. These discoveries suggest that the Chesapeake Bay impact horizon is preserved in Georgia. The horizon also should be the source stratum for Georgia tektites.
