ESTER Volume XXIX Corvallis, Oregon, January 1976 Number 1 OREGON STATE FO ESTER Volume XXIX Corvallis, Oregon, January 1976 Number 1 Invitation To Fernhopper Day On behalf of the Forestry Club, let me offer you a cordial invitation to the 44th Annual Fernhopper Day and Banquet to be held February 28, 1976. You may have heard about the disband­ ing of the Forestry Club last year. Well, · don't worry. This fall a new club was organized and students will help put on one of the best Fernhopper Days ever. Not only do we have a different Forestry Club with a different constitution and way of doing things, we also have some differ­ ent plans for the Student-Alumni Seminar. After a brief meeting of students and alumni at 1:15 p. m. in Stewart Auditorium, we will be separating into three or four different discussion groups. These groups will be discussing topics of much interest to the world of forestry. The recent Mon­ ongahela Court decision as well as .cur­ rent job availability and job expectations of graduating foresters are among the The 1975 Fernhopper Banquet gilts off to a good start with MC Norman Nass presiding·. topics being considered for discussion.

  • Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study
    US Army Corps of Engineers Portland District Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study DRAFT Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment November 2017 Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study Executive Summary The Willamette River basin is located entirely within the state of Oregon, beginning south of Cottage Grove, and extending approximately 187 miles to the north where the Willamette River flows into the Columbia River. The basin is more than 11,200 square miles, averages 75 miles in width, and encompasses approximately 12 percent of the total area of the state (Figure ES-1). Within the watershed are most of the state’s population (nearly 70 percent), larger cities, and major industries. The basin also contains some of Oregon’s most productive agricultural lands and supports nationally and regionally important fish and wildlife species. Thirteen of Oregon’s thirty-six counties intersect or lie within the boundary of the Willamette River basin. Through a series of Flood Control Acts the U.S. Congress authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to construct, operate, and maintain thirteen major dams1 in the Willamette River basin. Collectively, these dams, reservoirs and associated infrastructure are known as the Willamette Valley Project (WVP). With a combined conservation storage capacity of approximately 1,590,000 acre-feet, the WVP is capable of providing important benefits for flood damage reduction, navigation, hydropower, irrigation, municipal and industrial water supply, flow augmentation for pollution abatement and improved conditions for fish and wildlife, and recreation. Feasibility Study History The Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study began in 1996 to investigate future Willamette River basin water demand.

  • WIN Quarterly: Summer 2020
    WIN Quarterly: Summer 2020 Greetings, friends and colleagues, I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. It sure felt a little different, this year! The relative calm of the holiday gave me a chance to think about what Independence Day means to me, how that may differ from others and a chance to finish working through my thoughts about Juneteenth. We just declared Juneteenth a holiday at CPRCD and, considering current events, it felt weird to take a day off for the holiday. Ultimately, I did what many privileged white folk do and I donated some money to a charity and went about my day (HBCU Foundation). I instantly felt guilty and knew I needed to do better, so I'm working on that. When congress passed the Lee Resolution on July 2nd, 1776 I would bet that few foresaw another seven years of war with the British. Similarly, I can only imagine that people of color in the United States did not anticipate their fight to continue for another 155 years after Major General Gordon Granger read General Order No. 3 in Galveston on June 19th, 1865. For my whole life, I've celebrated an independence from a "tyranny" I never experienced. What I've really celebrated was my privilege. In fact, I would've been on the other side as my great grandfathers and great uncles were generals for the British Army; one of the former leading numerous decimations of the Americans during the Revolutionary War until being crushed at Yorktown; one of the latter leading the British to victory at the Battle of Alexandria.

  • Lake Wise 2009
    November LAKE WISE 2009 Editor: Roger Edwards A Voice for Quiet Waters The Oregon Lakes Association Newsletter Some Highlights from the Lincoln City Conference Rotating the site of OLA’s annual conference to different regions of Oregon each year provides attendees the chance to move beyond areas of their normal travels. Wherever the destination happens to be, the meeting produces serious discussions of lake topics, and the opportunity to greet old friends and meet new ones in a low key setting. This expectation was achieved again at Lincoln City last September. We were made to feel very welcome in Lincoln City, on the very first time OLA has met there. The resources we needed were conveniently near-by and handily served our purpose. Holding a lake meeting just steps away from a lake was a real bonus. Some of the vendors were demonstrating their instruments outside of the exhibit hall, where views of Devils Lake diverted attention from the sound of pounding surf from across Hwy 101. Inside, the full agenda of posters and presentations was divided between lake researchers, regulators, and enthusiasts, more-or-less paralleling the makeup of those in attendance. Everyone likely had a different impression of the day’s events, but the Board was universally pleased with this year’s Conference. It attracted well over a dozen new members, who will take our viewpoints to new locations, and who may seek a future position on the OLA Board. Some of these new members have affiliations with Oregon State University and extending our membership network there is a welcome development.

Wetzel was given a shirt emblazoned with “SOLO SENIOR” to wear before the Oct. 31 game. Then, when her teammates removed their warm-up jerseys, she saw that they were all wearing shirts bearing a photo of her in action. A touched and inspired Wetzel went on to tie her career best for points in a contest, with a goal and two assists as the Beavers defeated Arizona, 3-0.

    Welcome to OSU! Self-Guided Tour of Campus Oregon State University’s main campus is over 400 acres and has 121 buildings-needless to say you will only have a chance to see a small part of it! Tuition was $10 a term in 1870 when the first degrees were awarded to a class of three (one woman and two men). There are currently over 27,000 students from all 50 states and 93 foreign countries. The Tour: (Sites can be visited in any order) Memorial Union & Quad In the Quad: The MU opened in 1928 and remains a popular place with students today. The quad (lawn) out front often has information booths, live music concerts, and students hanging out doing homework or basking in the Oregon sun. In the lounge: This beautiful area, also known as the students’ living room, features couches and chairs for between-class studying or naps. At noon on Fridays, the lounge hosts concerts for students and the public by OSU music groups including parts of the orchestra and a capella groups. All of the flags throughout the hall represent a student or faculty member from that particular country. On main level: If you are looking for a bite to eat, there are a couple of great places to get a bite on the West end of the MU. OSU students can either use cash or a debit card to purchase meals. On campus, there are 17 different restaurants, cafés, and stores to choose from. In the basement: During any free time that students have here at OSU, they can be found down in the basement playing pool on one of the many pool tables, bowling at OSU’s recreational bowling alley, and playing video games with friends.

They were an innovation as so little had been done by any state in the Union. The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.

  • News Release Oregon Parks and Recreation Department for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Release Date: May 29, 2020
    News Release Oregon Parks and Recreation Department FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Release Date: May 29, 2020 Limited state park camping returns SALEM, Ore – The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) today released a list of state park campgrounds that are scheduled to open with limited services within the coming days. OPRD Director Lisa Sumption said, “I am cautiously delighted. We are working hard to welcome campers wherever we can safely do so, as soon as we can.” Sumption said that campgrounds will open only when the following conditions are met: • Public health guidelines (OHA established) for the county are fulfilled; • The local community agrees; • The park has enough staff, supplies and equipment to safely open and operate at a basic level. Sumption also noted that revenue loss, COVID-19 precautions and staff reductions will curtail services at most if not all campgrounds. Cabin and yurt camping, except in rare cases, will not be offered. Group camping remains closed across the state, due to distancing concerns. RV and tent campers with existing reservations for a campground that opens will be honored beginning June 9. Not all sites or loops may be available at open campgrounds. For parks in the coastal region, there will be no walk-in or first come, first-served camping until further notice. The online reservation system has been suspended since April 28. It will reopen for new reservations sometime next week, and will accept new reservations one day to two weeks in advance. OPRD will announce the reservation reopening date early next week through its website, stateparks.oregon.gov.
