CCC Dedication
By Dharmi Patel
By Dharmi Patel
Did you know there was CCC camp located right where our school is standing today? CCC stands for Civilian Conservation Corps. This is an organization that helped millions of men that were unemployed earn money during the Great Depression. Last year Orbie Hoffman called Mrs. Vander Kley telling her about the CCC campsite located where the
high school is right now. Mrs. Vander Kley, Mr. Hoffman, and many other people worked together trying to come up with something that could honor those people who were involved in the CCC camp. Brad Allred helped design the brick wall and to mount the great plaque. All of this ended up being very expensive. Mr. Stuart Richardson built the brick monument. Mrs. Vander Kley talked to the American Bridge Company, and they made the letters for the HOME OF THE BRAVE sign. Mr. Hoffman’s son, Steven Hoffman did most of the fund raising for the plaque, which he wanted to dedicate to his father. The plaque weighs about 300 pounds. It took about a year and a half to get everything completed. But finally on September 4 at the Reedsport High School there was a dedication held. Veterans, political leaders, family members from our community came to honor and dedicate the plaque at the Reedsport Junior/Senior High School, and to honor the CCC. Orbie Hoffman said, “Reedsport has the distinction of having the only high school with such a dedication. Anyplace there was a CCC camp, we’re trying to get a plaque,” he mentioned. So when your walking past the plaque, come closer and read what it says on it, and think of those men who were fighting for our country and involved in the CCC camp.
Have you ever wondered how the school raised money for the athletic programs? On September 4, 2004 there was a roast,
sponsered by DuBray's on the
Green, held in honor of long time resident and athletic supporter Butch
Thompson. The Community Center was decorated in yellow and green
for the support of Mr. Thompson's favorite team, the Oregon
Ducks. but one table was decorated for those people atteding who
like the Beavers.
Each person paid fifty dollars a plate adn got the choice of Prime Rib or Salmon. From the fifty dollars per plate, thirty dollars of it went to the high school athletic fund. Nearly 200 people atteded the fund raiser, so almost $6,000 was raised in this event alone.
Guest speakers, such as John Wolf, Karen Tibbles, adn Ray Humphreys, appeared throughout the evening. Also citizens of the community wrote letters to honor their memories (fond and not-so fond) of Butch Thompson. One of those memories included Mr. Thompson's Ford dealership. Butch recalled a few memories himself like the ferry that ran from where the Landing is now to just East of Gardiner in the early to mid '30's.
From everyone at Reedsport Junior/Senior Highschool we want to thank Mr. Butch Thompson for always supporting us and cheering away at games in the stands.

September 11th
by Mandy Foote
Three years ago a terrible tragedy happened on September 11, 2001. The US was attacked by Terrorist and as you all should remember the World Trade Centers collapsed, the Pentagon was hit and Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. Thousands were killed, and the whole country was hurt from this sad day for the US. But through the ashes we came together as one and formed unity. We were ready to defend ourselves and protect our country to make it safe again. Soon after, we started war in the middle east fighting
against terrorism.Today many men and woman are still over seas protecting us and helping the Iraqis to become a democracy. On Thursday about twenty people gathered at Barrone Memorial Park to recognize these soldiers over seas, and also to remember the ones who lost their lives for us. Over 1000 Candle Light Vigil where held across the US. Holding candles, they sang songs and talked about their loved ones over seas or how they felt of the war. The young and old gathered together for this special occasion.
One man mentioned at the Candle Light Vigil was forty-five years old Lawrence Gunn. Mrs. Gunn, our 7th and 8th grade science teacher, is his wife. Lawrence has been in the Army for fifteen years and has a Staff Sergeant ranking. He left to go to Iraq in March of 2004 and is expected back home permanently in March of 2005. While in Iraq he is expected to train the Iraqi National Guard, defuse bombs, and preform search and rescue. When I asked Mrs. Gunn how she felt about the war she said, “The fight for freedom is a good one, but I think it is time to pull out and let them do it on there own.”. In your thoughts include Lawrence and hope for him to come home safe.
So maybe just take a moment and remember the twin towers, soldiers, and many people who were taken from us. Lets hope for safety and security and hope for the best future to come.
