BLM upgrades Shotgun Creek Recreation Area near Eugene
EUGENE, Ore. - The Bureau of Land Management is removing old wastewater treatment infrastructure at Shotgun Creek Recreation Area as part of a larger plan to upgrade the site. Starting in mid-November, crews will tear down the existing wastewater treatment system. Workers will demolish aboveground facilities east of the recreation area, including a holding basin and a control shed, and fill below-ground infrastructure with a combination of rocks and cement. The southern restroom facility will be removed, and the northern restroom will be temporarily closed. In 2027, shortly after tearing down the existing facilities, the BLM will install temporary restroom facilities. Work to build a new vault toilet will begin later in 2027.

Serbian immigrant turned PE teacher named Oregon's best in elementary
After earning his teaching license in the U.S., Ratko Pavlovic told his wife he wasn't sure if he could teach, worrying about his English skills.

"That's the reason why I wanted to do elementary." Pavlovic was born in Yugoslavia, now modern-day Serbia. He earned his teaching license at the University of Niš in Serbia and began teaching physical education, a profession that has always called to him. In 2016, he immigrated to the U.S., seeking a new adventure and experience while settling in Wyoming. He met his wife, who is from Oregon, and they moved to Eugene in 2019. Pavlovic now teaches physical education in Bethel School District. For the past six years, he has been known to Bethel students and staff alike as Coach P. The walls of his gymnasium at
