				<description><![CDATA[While I was in Winchester Bay to take sunset photos Sunday night, I saw such a huge number of seagulls soaring very high in the sky. There were tens of thousands of them and they were flying hundreds of feet in the air. There were so many, they reminded me of the gnats I see on warm summer afternoons, swirling like a grey cyclone cloud. I was so lucky I didn't get pooped on!!]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Katie McNutt, an elementary school teacher at Hoover Elementary School in Corvallis, has been named the third term recipient of the 2012/2013 Education Celebration Award, presented by the Oregon College Savings Plan. McNutt, who teaches a grade one/two loop, received a $1,500 award for herself, and a $5,000 check for her school today at a surprise morning assembly, where nearly 400 students celebrated the announcement. The Oregon College Savings Plan annually presents the Education Celebration Award to three educators — one per term — in the Oregon K-12 educational system that have motivated and inspired children to be better students. 
 
McNutt, who was both surprised and overwhelmed, stated, "It is a wonderful experience to feel the warmth and support of our community."
 
A total of 68 nominations were received from around the state; McNutt received nominations from seven parents, including Nicole Winward. According to Winward, “Ms. McNutt strives to encourage the students to see how all knowledge is interwoven, often blending together math and nature or art and science topics. She also helps children understand that participation in discussion is important; they seem unafraid of criticism of their opinions and ideas as long as they are honestly offered. This encouragement of communication and inquiry is one of the greatest gifts she has given to so many of her students.”
 
McNutt utilizes a process teaching style, which evolved out of The Daily 5 and CAFE system of literacy assessment. Her approach involves a combination of scheduled, integrated tasks during the course of a school day, including reading, remembering, explaining, adult feedback and journaling. According to McNutt, process teaching works well for high achievers while giving her time to spend with kids who need more attention.
 
McNutt originally planned to be a lawyer, but stumbled upon a teaching internship in college, and found her passion in teaching children. Her first foray into the classroom was in 1974-75 in California, and with the exception of 12 years off to raise her own children, she has been teaching kindergarten through fourth grades ever since, with a particular passion for all day kindergarten.
 
“We are so thrilled to have Katie receive this recognition," stated Hoover Elementary principal Bryan Traylor. "She is an amazing educator, and her teaching style has caused many of our staff to shift their thinking about teaching and student learning. She believes in and expects so much more from her students than does convention, and they always rise to the occasion."
 
The Education Celebration program, which began in the 2011/2012 academic year, has featured winners from Roseburg, Halsey, West Linn, Albany, Portland, and now Corvallis. In total, the Oregon College Savings Plan has awarded $41,000 to schools and educators since founding the program.

				<description><![CDATA[This isn't much of a story as much as it is a cry for help. On Friday our family cat went missing. Ringo is a black male Bombay, and he is neutered. He was last seen at his home on Kinney Loop in Eugene, near Crescent. He is very friendly and quite the talker. His name is Ringo (although he doesn't like to always respond to it- you know how cats are)... please if anybody sees him or he's made his way into your home contact us as soon as possible at (541) 517-8636. He was also wearing a rainbow collar with his tags still intact.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Just about 3 miles off the Hwy is a magical waterfall, which caught the attention of a local gentlemen many years ago. 3 years ago, he and his soon to be bride, wanted to exchange their wedding vows there in a private ceremony. Unable to do so, due to health reasons, they choose Rock Creek Campground. Today, I visited the waterfall area and discovered that the forest was being logged. That particular waterfall flows during the winter and even throughout the summer months. I know the gentlemen would like to put a name to that beautiful waterfall, and has had it on his list of things to get done. I personally think that if the water was named and registered with the Forest Service, Roseburg Lumber might have to legally keep the logging machinery away from it. Any help or advice would be appreciated. ]]></description>
