6C Statesman Journal LOCAL Friday, June 29, 2007 McCall Continued from 1C mans i rMjt- sweet Sour i i Caswell will pay the costs to produce the sculpture with an agreement that the committee will reimburse him. He plans to make small-scale sculptures for purchase to help with the fundraising. "I wish I could have met him, but in a way I have through all of you," he said to the small gathering. The sculpture will be a close replica of a photo by John Daniel Callaghan showing McCall fishing in the North Umpqua River. Doris Penwell, McCall's former personal secretary, was glad it wasn't a "politician's statue," instead showcasing his love of Oregon's outdoors.

When the cloth was taken off the maquette and McCall's image stood before the people, his widow, 93-year-old Audrie, was asked what she thought of it. "It's a very good memory of Tom," she said.

"Parents need to be good examples for their children.

As you do it safely, your child will follow." Fireworks should be handled safely to avoid burn injuries. They also shouldn't be altered, Holmstrom said.

Constructed with funds from the Oregon Lottery, "Stub" Stewart State Park is Oregon's first new full service park in more than 30 years. It's less than 30 miles from Portland and it opens July 2007. With 80 campsites, 15 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking, a cabin village, a horse camp, a hike-in camp for backpackers, interpretive exhibits, a sheltered picnic ground and a hill-top observation tower for sightseeing and stargazing, Stub Stewart is an ideal place to escape into nature whether you want to get away or just hear yourself think.

In 1998, Oregon's state parks were in trouble. There wasn't enough money to maintain them and some were in danger of closing, which is why Oregonians voted to use Lottery profits to support state parks. Today, Oregon is able to make investments in all of its parks and is buying and developing new park land across the state because of the Lottery funding. itdoesgoodthings.org .1 r'. 5.:.
