>Salem -- Governor Ted Kulongoski officially launched preparations today for the
>150th anniversary of Oregon's admittance into the Union.  The celebration
>will begin February 14, 2009 and last through the fall of 2009.
>
>"In 2009, Oregon will celebrate 150 years of statehood.  The
>sesquicentennial will be a unique opportunity to honor our past and all of
>the people who created the quilt of natural beauty, urban and rural
>communities, diverse economy, and original thinking that we call Oregon,"
>the Governor said.  "But just as important, our 150th birthday is a chance
>to look forward and share with each other our hopes and dreams for Oregon's
>future."
>
>To prepare for Oregon's 150th birthday, the Governor created Oregon 150, a
>nonprofit organization, led by 30 motivated citizens from across the state
>serve as its Board of Directors. The goal of this volunteer Board is to
>inspire people across the state to remember, experience, and celebrate
>Oregon and, together, create a robust and sustainable future.    
>
>"This milestone birthday celebration should encourage Oregonians to explore
>the fascinating history and rich bounty that makes our state so special,"
>said Barbara Sidway of Baker City, newly elected President and Chair of
>Oregon 150.
>
>The Board's mission statement is supported by a strong set of values,
>including ensuring that Oregonians across the state of every age, income,
>and ethnic background participate in the sesquicentennial, and that the
>sesquicentennial will contribute to the welfare of Oregon through
>sustainable legacies in our communities.
>
>"Although the Oregon 150 Board will help guide critical program and funding
>decisions for our 2009 sesquicentennial, my vision is for community
>organizations, schools, town and tribal governments, and individual citizens
>on the local level to come up with ideas and plan celebrations that fit
>their needs," said Governor Kulongoski. "Oregon's 150th birthday should
>reflect the rich diversity and history that has shaped who we are today."

>The full roster of the Oregon 150 Board, including 29 citizen Board Members

>FORT LANE TO GET NEW MANAGEMENT
>
>The Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission has officially accepted a
>19-acre donation from Jackson County that includes the former site of
>Fort Lane. The site overlooks the area surrounding Table Rock just
>northwest of Central Point.
>
>Like Fort Yamhill and the historical military area of Fort Stevens, the
>Fort Lane property offers *great interpretive possibilities* as a
>future state heritage site, Property and Resource Manager Cliff Houck
>told the commission. *Jackson County recognizes the site as a
>significant cultural resource. Transferring the site is a compliment to
>OPRD as a steward of heritage properties.*
>
>The U.S. Army established Fort Lane after signing a treaty establishing
>the Table Rock Indian Reservation in 1853. Like other western forts at
>the time, it was built to manage frontier traffic. However, Fort
>Lane*s primary purpose evolved to protecting the Native Americans
>from the area*s settlers, says Houck.  Only the remains of building
>foundations and a monument provide physical evidence of the fort*s
>existence. A plaque has been stolen from the monument, which was erected
>in 1929. The site has been subject to illegal digging and trespassing.
>
>The Fort Lane site is on the future Rogue River Greenway Trail, linking
>Grants Pass and the Valley of the Rogue with Central Point and the north
>end of the Bear Creek Greenway Trail. 
>
>
>JENKINS LEAVING FORT CLATSOP
>
>Chip Jenkins, the superintendent of Lewis and Clark National Historical
>Park since 2002, has accepted the top job at North Cascades National
>Park in Washington.
>
>Jenkins had a central role in the bicentennial commemoration of the
>Corps of Discovery. During his tenure, Fort Clatsop added neighboring
>land, constructed new trails and a visitor center, and helped develop
>the Fort to Sea Trail and the Netul Landing site. Perhaps most memorable
>was Jenkins' leadership in constructing a new fort when the original
>Fort Clatsop model burned to the ground shortly before the Lewis and
>Clark commemoration's signature event.
>
>
>SHERMAN COUNTY PLANS HERITAGE GATHERING
>
>A Western Heritage Gathering is scheduled for 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. March 24
> at the Moro Community Presbyterian Church located in Moro. This event
>is a one-day mini-conference that will highlight local and regional
>culture and history.
>
>In recognition of March as Women's History Month, five women will be
>featured as guest speakers.  Two speakers are from Sherman County: Jane
>Kirkpatrick, an author with 14 books,, and Sherry Kaseberg who will
>share from the knowledge gleaned during the research for her reference
>book "A Sense of Place: Sherman County Place Names."
>
>Jodi Eagan of Madras will detail the history of the Baldwin Sheep and
>Land Co. and the challenges faced by those who homesteaded Hay Creek
>Ranch, near Madras. Jeanne Carver of Maupin will speak about the
>changing roles and lives of women on the Imperial Stock Ranch since its
>beginning in 1871. Molly Gloss, a native Oregonian and noted author of
>numerous essays, short stories, and novels, will speak about the
>experiences of westering women, their role in history, and their

>attending should contact Bob Stone at the Moro Community Presbyterian
