Taft Elementary sixth-grade art and journalism classes worked collaboratively this year to create a visual and poetic story about a search for Sasquatch with Looking For Squatch.
“The book was so much fun to make, though it took some hard work too. I especially loved painting the paper.” Sasha H., a sixth-grade art student said.
1 of 6
Looking For Squatch is a hidden picture book where each image has Squatch visiting a new location along the coast, throughout Oregon, dipping into Washington and down to California.
Mrs. Buck and Mrs. Rivas were the teachers involved with the project and had this to say about the year-long process:
“The sixth-grade art and journalism club enjoyed the creative process of Looking For Squatch. The book depicts a young Squatch who feels it’s time to come out of hiding and share his story.
“The illustrations were created using painted paper and collaging different areas of the Pacific Northwest.
“Each location has a hidden Squatch. Journalism did research of the locations and met with the art club. Together we came up with a great finished project.”
The original paintings will be hung at the school.
From the back of the book:
The 6th grade art & journalism classes at Taft Elementary School in Lincoln City, Oregon, have put many hours into creating this delightful story about the Pacific Northwest’s famous character, Sasquatch, named Squatch in the book. You are taken on an entertaining journey through some of the most reportedly spotted locations, while you look for Squatch in the pictures. We hope you enjoy!
“It was fun… especially having to research each town/place was interesting.” – Lily S. (Journalism)
“The process was simply challenging, but fun.” – Rachel N. (Art)
“It was interesting writing about the locations.” – Maggie R. (Journalism)
Copies of the book can be purchased through the Taft Elementary Office for $17. Sales from the books support sixth-graders.
Students who contributed to the book are: Abigail (Abby) M, Abigail R, Alex H., Alex T., Alexandra H., Alexis (Lexi) M., Allison C.L., Alyson R., Aurora D., Avery D., Beverlyann S., Carley C., Chelsea R., Conner W., Evangel A., Emma T., Evan L., Gracie H, Haleah M., Ivan A., Janet G., Jayde R.C., Julia T., Knaudia T., Lily S., Magdalene (Maggie) M., Maggie R., Nitaya F., Quinn F., Rachel N., Ryley R., Sasha H., Seth S., Shayna R., Shyla P., Tesh F., Ximena S.L., Yadira F.C.
Natural gas powers a wide array of home and industrial appliances. In urban areas, natural gas is piped directly into your home in much the same way water and electricity are. As with any plumbing system, leaks can sometimes happen.
Because natural gas can displace the air in a confined space, it can cause headaches, nausea, or even lead to suffocation. Natural gas is odorless, colorless, and extremely flammable. It is due to these hazards that gas companies add a chemical called mercaptan (methanethiol) to make natural gas smell like rotten eggs. If you hear or smell a natural gas leak, there are some steps you should take:
Do not use your cell phone, telephone, or other electronic devices.
Do not light matches, smoke cigarettes, or generate any sparks.
Do not operate any electrical switches (even turning lights off could create a spark inside the switch).
Evacuate everyone from the area.
Call 911 from a phone away from the leak.
Contact your natural gas provider.
If you smell natural gas, it’s always safest to leave the area immediately and call the gas company. However, after a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, it could be several days before they are able to reach your home. DO NOT turn off your natural gas service unless you smell gas, hear the sound of gas escaping, or see other signs of a leak. ONLY turn off your gas if it is safe to do so.
Always have an emergency plan in place and ensure the members of your household are aware of it. For additional safety information, contact your service provider or visit their website.

A cougar was sighted Monday near Cutler City Wetland Trailhead and warning signs detailing what to do in the event of an encounter have been posted.
According to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) officials, a cougar was spotted by a landowner killing domesticated geese. The man shot at the animal and might have wounded it, causing it to flee towards Cutler City Park.
ODFW did not find evidence the cougar was wounded and has not received notification of additional sightings or livestock losses in the area.
ODFW officials encourage the public to contact their office or Oregon State Police if a cougar is spotted.
ODFW: 503-947-6000
Oregon State Police: 800-442-0776
If you cross paths with a cougar:
Stop
Never approach a cougar at any time for any reason.
Stay calm
Face the cougar and do not turn your back towards it. Do not run. Running encourages it to chase.
Appear large
Make yourself look large. Do not bend over or crouch down. Raise your hands. Hold your coat open. Hold small children.
Fight back
Fight back if attacked.
Make noise
Make noise while hiking to reduce the chance of surprising a cougar.
A Pacific Northwest legend is joining fire prevention activities statewide, particularly in the wildland urban interface and communities at greatest risk of wildfires and property loss.
Starting in June, the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal will be promoting wildfire safety education with its partners using images of Bigfoot and the hashtag#BelieveInFireSafety.
“Wildfires can easily be ignited by backyard burning, an unattended campfire, a hot car on tall, dry grass, or from dragging tow chains, and they spread fast,” State Fire Marshal Jim Walker said.
“We hope our Bigfoot campaign will draw attention and create a bigger ‘footprint’ of wildfire prevention efforts around the state,” Walker said. “We want people to believe in fire safety, whether you are camping, visiting Oregon, or recreating. We’ve created images and education materials showing Bigfoot outdoors, protecting his wilderness ‘home.’ By preventing wildfires in Bigfoot’s home, we can help residents protect their homes and our communities.”
Images showing Bigfoot recreating and enjoying Oregon can be found on the OSFM’s web site. Organizations promoting wildfire safety and anyone from the public can download a free colorful Bigfoot poster, mobile phone and desktop wallpaper images, a full suite of colorful social media images, and even an iconic shirt design.
The images show Bigfoot hiking, fly fishing, four-wheeling, and putting out campfires responsibly. Each Bigfoot image promotes a wildfire safety message, and all make for perfect materials to share on social media and other platforms as we head into summer and the 2019 wildfire season.
BEACH FIRES SAFETY REMINDER
North Lincoln Fire & Rescue reminds people to extinguish beach fires with water, not sand. See whether a fire ban is in effect due to weather conditons.
Oregon State Parks campfire safety practices state:
“Beach campfires should be started on open sand, away from driftwood or vegetation. Use water to extinguish your beach fire, not sand. Covering the fire with sand will insulate the coals, keeping them hot enough to burn unsuspecting beachgoers hours or even days later.”
Oregon fire service partners, emergency planners, and other groups who promote wildfire prevention and who work to make their communities safer from wildfire are encouraged to print the materials and share them at events and on their social media pages.
A first batch of messaging Bigfoot coasters and stickers have already been sent to fire service agencies statewide. Based on the overwhelmingly popular response to Bigfoot materials to date, the OSFM anticipates many Oregonians will soon be sharing the message to “believe in fire safety.”
During the summer, the OSFM will hold a social media contest for a Bigfoot T-shirt giveaway and highlight different Bigfoot images each week. Also keep your eyes open later this summer for Bigfoot’s image on highway billboards on popular travel routes in Oregon.

Mixed martial arts competitors shook Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Saturday with a fight card billed “King of the Cage: Resurgence.”
More than a thousand spectators watched 10 fights in the cage at the casino’s convention center, where multiple flat screens lined the walls and red, white and blue lights danced over the crowd.
1 of 38
Brandon Waltz
Of the 20 fighters, four were named Brandon, including Paradise, Calif.’s Brandon Waltz, who was in the main event.
“I love Lincoln City,” Waltz said. “I absolutely love the beach and the small-town community because Paradise is a small town, as well.”
Paradise was recently subject to the Camp wildfire devastation in which roughly 14,000 homes were destroyed and the town suffered $8 billion in damage.
“My heart goes out to my town right now. They are a strong community that is trying to rebuild, and they will,” he said.
Ian King, from Roseburg, defeated Waltz in the title bout by forcing him to tap out with an arm hold.

The Tigers make a plate appearance Friday in State quarterfinal play (Photo by Eric DeMello)
Santiam Christian broke open a 6-6 tie late in the game Friday to defeat Taft High 12-6 in the quarterfinals of the Class 3A OSAA State Baseball Championships.
Senior starter Tyee Fisher
In a showdown of State semifinalists from a year ago, the third-seeded Eagles scored six runs in the bottom of the sixth inning on their home field to improve to 22-6 and end the 11th-seeded Tigers’ season at 17-11.
“We knew going into the game that we needed to make the routine plays to give ourselves a chance at the end,” Taft coach Matt Hilgers said. “We made a few blunders early on that led to some of their runs. We just didn’t play a really sound game on defense.”
Junior leadoff hitter Trenton Fisher had four hits in four plate appearances for the Tigers, while scoring twice and driving in two runs. Sophomore Darius Smith had three hits, while senior Cody Knott had two RBIs.

Taft took a 6-0 lead into the bottom of the second before four errors and eight walks by four pitchers allowed the Eagles back in the game.

“As coaches, we were proud of the showing we made today,” Hilgers said. “We battled our butts off all game. It was a very competitive game, and we showed up to compete. We just couldn’t hold on and get over that hump.”
Santiam Christian also won both regular-season games between the two teams, 11-10 at home on March 18 and 11-7 at Taft on April 4.

The Eagles will host No. 7 Warrenton (18-6, 12-3 Special District 2) in the semifinals Tuesday. The Warriors defeated No. 2 Brookings Harbor (26-3, 15-0 Special District 4) 3-2 Wednesday to advance.
Defending State champion La Pine, seeded fourth, defeated No. 5 Rainier 4-1 Friday and will meet top-seeded Pleasant Hill, a 7-1 winner over No. 9 Joseph/Enterprise/Wallowa/Elgin in Tuesday’s other semifinal.
The State champion will be determined Friday, May 31, at Salem-Keizer Volcanoe Stadium.
Coach Hilgers’ thoughts on the season:
“This was a very rewarding season for as as coaches. We started the season with some holes to fill and many questions that needed to be answered. We took some time finding those answers.
“No matter who we played, we always managed to find a way to give ourselves a chance to win it in the later innings.
“We made leaps and bounds this year. We are looking forward to next year and committing to get better and compete every day.”
Coach Hilgers’ thoughts on his seniors:
Bleiz Kimbrough – “I have had him on my team since he was a freshman. He has made tremendous growth since that first year. He really stepped up this year on the mound for us. He was lights-out in his final pitching performance.”
Tyee Fisher – “I have had Tyee on one of my teams since his seventh-grade year in football. I’m going to miss seeing the big guy next year. His passion for the game and competitiveness really shined this year. He set an example for the younger guys to follow.”
Cody Knott – “He is one of the hardest workers I have seen. He’s what I call a ‘foxhole guy.’ If I’m in battle, I want him in the foxhole with me. He’s one heck of a competitor and I am excited to see what he does next year at Corban University when he focuses solely on wrestling.”
“I know all three will be around at different points next year to cheer us on, but I really appreciate the dedication and hard work they have put into our program we will miss them all.”
The Taft Tigers prepare to take the field Friday for State quarterfinal play.
Cascade Christian dashed Taft High’s hopes of making a deeper run in the Class 3A OSAA State Softball Championships than a season ago, advancing Friday to the 16-team tournament semifinals with an 8-3 home win in Medford.
“It’s tough to lose and have the season end, but this young group learned so much this season and surpassed a lot of expectations,” Taft coach Sandy Stuart said. “We matured and will be able to come back stronger next year.”
The third-seeded Challengers improved to 22-7 (10-2 Far West) with the five-run victory over the sixth-seeded Tigers (18-10, 7-5 Special District 1) and starting junior pitcher Emma Coulter at US Cellular Community Park Field.
Mia Mayben had three hits in four trips with two RBIs and scored a run for Cascade Christian.
Coulter had two singles to lead the Tigers, who scored in the top half of the first, but gave up two runs in the bottom half of the inning as the Challengers led the rest of the way, also scoring twice in the third, fourth and fifth innings.
Junior Hailee Danneker and freshmen Addie Gates and Olivia Coulter scored for Taft, while sophomores Kayla Lininger and Kyla Knott drove home runs. Sophomore Claira Tolan had the Tigers’ only extra-base hit, a double.
“Today, the biggest issue was their balls fell into gaps and holes, and ours went right at defenders and were caught,” Stuart said. “Sometimes that’s how games go.”
Taft, which defeated Cascade Christian 12-11 on the same field during a spring break tournament in late May, downed Vale 11-1 in five innings in opening-round play Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals. Cascade Christian beat Blanchet Catholic 6-4 to advance.
Taft was a quarterfinalist last season before being eliminated 4-2 by eventual State champion Dayton.
“The coaching staff is incredibly proud of their efforts this year,” Stuart said. “The only thing that makes us sad is that we have to wait so long for next season.”
The Challengers will play at No. 2 Dayton (18-5, 7-1 PacWest) Tuesday in one semifinal matchup. The Pirates defeated 10th-seeded Yamhill-Carlton (14-16, 5-3 PacWest) 10-1 Friday to advance.
Fourth-seeded South Umpqua (23-5, 11-1 Far West) defeated No. 5 Rainier (16-10, 8-4 SD1) 3-0 Friday and will meet top-seeded Clatskanie (25-0, 12-0 SD1), which downed ninth-seeded Scio (13-7, 3-5 PacWest) 12-2 in five innings in Friday’s other quarterfinal.
The State champion will be determined Friday, May 31, at the University of Oregon’s Jane Sanders Stadium.
