Victim identified in officer-involved shooting The names of police officers involved in a fatal, officer-involved shooting have yet to be released.

The investigation into the shooting on July 17 in Reedsport is continuing by the Douglas County Major Crimes Team, led by Oregon State Police Criminal Investigations Division. When completed, the investigation will be provided to the Douglas County District Attorneys Office for review.

The man shot was identified as Glenn Ray Glancey, 71, from Reedsport.

Glancey was a resident of the Holly Knolls mobile home park where the shooting occurred.

He died at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 20, from injuries related to the shooting.

According to previously released information from OSP, the incident happened at approximately 12:30 p.m. July 17.

A news release stated four law enforcement officers (two from Reedsport Police Department and two from Douglas County Sheriff's Office) responded to a reported verbal and physical disturbance at

the mobile home park on North Eighth Street in Reedsport.

Officers were confronted by an adult male suspect, identified as Glancey, armed with a handgun.

Shots were exchanged between the man and law enforcement. The suspect was shot at least once and taken to Lower Umpqua Hospital for initial treatment.

The names of the involved officers are still withheld.

“It’s different in different counties on how they approach that,” OSP Spokesman Lt. Gregg Hastings said in a phone interview

from his Portland office. “In Douglas County, they’re requesting the names not be released yet, but the names will be provided, probably, after the DA reviews the full investigation and all interviews and follow-up work’s done.”

The Douglas County District Attorney has not responded to numerous phone calls asking for more information.

No officers were injured during the incident.

Both deputies from Douglas County Sheriff's Office and one Reedsport police officer are on

paid administrative leave, which is standard protocol during officerinvolved shooting investigations.

The Douglas County Major Crimes Team is represented by investigators from OSP, DCSO, Reedsport Police Department and Roseburg Police Department.

The Douglas County District Attorney's Office is assisting the Major Crimes Team. Officerinvolved shooting investigations can be complex and take several weeks to complete and present to the district attorney's office for review.

DuneFest — the area’s biggest event — is fun for all The biggest week of the year is headed this way, and it’s towing huge trailers behind it, packed with ATVs, motorcycles, 4x4s and all things sand.

Thousands of duners are on the way to enjoy “the most fun a family can have on the sand” in Winchester Bay. The event starts July 30 and runs through Aug. 3, but there will be RVs and trailers loading in days before things get started. Every motel room here and in our surrounding towns will be full and the restaurants will be cranking out more plates than any other summer weekend. Get groceries now, because

the beer lines will be long toward the end of the week.

DuneFest isn’t just for visitors – you can go too. Load up your ATV and hit the sand, but you’ll have to stop at the Chamber’s ticket hut for a wristband. It’s worth the price for all the entertainment it buys. With the armband you can see the death-defying ATV jumping shows, check out the live entertainment, see movie night, tour the vendor area and have a snack, watch the races and basically be one of the thousands and thousands who love DuneFest. If you don’t have an

ATV, no problem. Hop on the Dune Bus on Beach Boulevard in Winchester Bay and ride to vendor’s row. There’s no charge to go to the row, and if you want to go to the show you can buy an wristband right on the bus. Check out all the new doo-dads and gotta-have-em’s in the booths and have some lunch There’s plenty to choose from and as far as people watching goes? I give it a 10.

Especially if you like watching young men in tight rubber and leather suits,

Panel discusses Reedsport levee certification THE UMPQUA POST Dozens of Reedsport residents attended a town hall meeting July 24 to hear about levee certification.

The city is hoping to get its 2mile levee system certified so it Emergency Federal meets Management Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers standards. Failure to do so would mean big flood insurance increases for residents and building owners in the floodplain. The city of Reedsport would be included in those increases.

City Manager Jonathan Wright compiled an expert panel that included local insurance agent Debbie McKinney, local real estate agent Liz Adamo and Reedsport engineer Joel Smith.

Steve Lindsley Christine Shirley, Oregon’s Dozens of people showed up at a town hall meeting in Reedsport to hear from experts about levee certification.

Panelists included officials from the state of Oregon, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Multnomah SEE LEVEE, PAGE A6 County and the city of Milton-Freewater.

Ten people have applied to be an interim Douglas County commissioner and a citizen committee, which includes Reedsport Mayor Keith Tymchuk, will meet Wednesday to consider the candidates. That committee will make a recommendation to county commissioners Joe Laurance and Susan Morgan on who should temporarily replace Doug Robertson, who is retiring after 33 years on the commission.

On July 23, commissioners chose Tymchuk, who serves as Reedsport mayor and is a Port of Umpqua commissioner; Riddle Mayor and member of the county’s planning commission Bill Duckett; county fair board member and a principal at Douglas County Forest Products John Blodgett, and county budget committee member Sandra Jackson, who also contracts with the county to administer the Community Development Block Grant Program.

The four will meet at 1 p.m. in Room 311 of the Douglas County Courthouse.

They will consider the roster of proposed temporary replacements: Roseburg business owner Dick Filley; Rich Raynor, who ran for commissioner earlier this year; former county commissioner Mike Winters; former Boeing employee Buzz Long; former Community Cancer Center Executive Director Mel Cheney; retired air traffic manager Chuck Warner; retired Navy officer Richard Weckerle; former Roseburg business owner Delores Spencer; former Myrtle Creek postmaster Ken Brouillard and retired surveyor Greg Logan of Elkton.

Raynor withdrew from an election in November that will fill out the remaining two years of Robertson’s term. He has endorsed Myrtle Creek business owner Chris Boice.

Other announced commissioner candidates in the November election are IT consultant Mark Garcia of Myrtle Creek; retired traffic manager Dennis Hudgins of Myrtle Creek; Roseburg business owner Gary Leif and court bailiff Dale Rogers of Myrtle Creek.

Rogers was also a candidate for Laurance’s seat in May. Laurance decided to retire after two terms.

Current state representative Tim Freeman won that seat outright in May. Current commissioners had indicated a desire that the interim should not also run in the November election.

Robertson’s term expires at the end of 2016.

The interim chosen will only serve until the end of this year.

OPINION

Staff at core of DuneFest Town hall on levee

BY KEITH TYMCHUCK

As thousands of people flock to the area this week for DuneFest, it’s easy to miss that the iconic event is fueled by volunteers.

Hundreds of them.

It’s also the result of cooperation among government entities.

Sure, the festival devoted to all things ATV is sponsored by the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce, but the lifeblood is volunteers.

I attended a welcome to the volunteers Friday night and was amazed at how efficient volunteer organizer Debbie McKinney seemed to be. She would probably tell you she’s not the least bit ready, but she has been doing this for 13 years. Her volunteers have to staff the

COASTING HOME Steve Lindsley, registration booth and another booth on vendors row.

There are also volunteers who help with security, answer questions, help get the show organized, host camps and work on the sand.

I also attended a session to get all the government agencies who work at DuneFest on the same page.

There were representatives from Lower Umpqua Hospital, Reedsport police and fire, Winchester Bay

EDITOR

fire, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Forest Service, the chamber, Salmon Harbor and DuneFest Co-chairs Phyllis Dever and Bobby del Re. I was impressed about how much responsibility these agencies take on, and most seemed to know their jobs pretty well.

With thousands of visitors, vendors and participants there are bound to be problems.

Take the different wrist-

bands needed for certain areas of the festival. Just coordinating them can be monumental.

Volunteers are told not to engage with difficult visitors but to be polite as they call for security.

Organizers are very careful to make sure volunteers have contact in the case of problems. Alcohol, people trying to sneak in, vendor complaints and the sheer magnitude of the event have to be considered.

And, if you’re planning on sneaking in … shame on you. You’re simply taking money away from a very, very hardworking group.

Hail to the volunteers, and let’s hope the 2014 DuneFest is a fun and safe week.

Businesses and individuals within the Reedsport-Winchester Bay area wholeheartedly participate in organizing the event, and then spend virtually the whole five days at DuneFest overseeing the unfolding of each day.

There are many, many volunteers that take tickets, shuttle people and things around, and do a myriad of tasks to keep the events successfully moving.

While the families that attend are having fun, this

group of volunteers is making sure that it is safe, secure, and that everything works. Douglas County Sheriff’s Patrol, Parks Department and Public Works Department, along with our excellent crew from Salmon Harbor are pleased to be part of the team that works for safety and success at DuneFest.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks to city workers What a wonderful group of people we have working for us as city of Reedsport employees!

A whole group of them came to my house July 12 for Christmas in July and cleaned up my yard. I had already — a few months ago — hired a local “landscaper” who did a number on my yard, and then left before I was able to get a look at it, but these wonderful people came out, pulled

weeds, trimmed trees and blackberry bushes, cut brush, and hauled away all of the debris from the winter plus the new growth this spring/summer.

My yard was a mess, and I was physically and financially unable to do any more to it myself, but a whole group of city employees took on my yard as their project, and what a wonderfully and unexpectedly marvelous job they did. I expected no more than, at most, a few tall weeds

pulled, and a few tree limbs trimmed up.

What I got was a beautiful yard with NO weeds, trees trimmed, trash hauled off and a round of beautiful smiles!

Thank you so much to all of you, city employees — all of you! I think there were nine of you that showed up. Bless you all!

What a wonderful feeling that I have neighbors like all of you.

Quarterly academy tours Lower Umpqua Hospital offers tours of several hospital departments to people who are new to the area or anyone who would like to know what services are offered by the hospital.

If you would like to be included in a future tour, please call 541271-6374. As an academy tour member ,you will begin your tour in the hospital conference room, where you’ll sign a confidentiality form and then have an opportunity to speak to hospital administrator Sandra Reese, the CFO, and one or two district doctors.

You’ll next be escorted to the emergency medical services area where EMT/manager Dan Tolman will guide your group through one of the ambulances and answer your questions about the ambulance service.

The next stop is acute care/ER where Tara Blohm, director of nursing services, will put an arm-band on you and then give you a tour of the emergency room and acute care facilities. Members of past tours have asked questions about ATV accidents and learned that the ER staff has received training to remove expensive ATV gear without cutting it (some enthusiastic ATVers would rather walk on broken bones than have their gear cut). Other tour members wanted to know about sand, which ER staff members occasionally have to remove from various body parts.

Other departments you will visit are radiology, surgery, rehabilitation and the laboratory. The tour is from 8 a.m. to noon and includes a midmorning snack break and a post-tour lunch, where you will have another opportunity to ask questions and give suggestions to improve future tours. The tours are offered quarterly and are limited to 10 people. Please give us a call if you would like to be scheduled for a future tour.

Reedsport mayor

On July 24, the Reedsport Community Building was the site of a town hall meeting that was intended to provide information to the public about issues relating to the Reedsport levee system, its needed certification and related flood insurance concerns. Many of you attended.

It was gratifying to see you there. If you were unable to be there, you missed a wealth of information provided by a wide range of panelists.

Representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Multnomah County Drainage District, Milton-Freewater Levee District, Sen. Jeff Merkley’s office, Regional Solutions as well as local insurance and real estate professionals spoke to their area of expertise. It was fascinating stuff.

It is, by the way, available on video tape through City Hall. If you were not at the meeting and wish to see it for yourself, contact City Manager Jonathan Wright.

During the town hall, it was clear, by listening to all of the speakers, that they were unanimous in complementing Reedsport for trying to solve our levee concerns in a timely fashion. They were also unanimous in encouraging the city to continue to do so, reminding those in attendance that refusing to certify the levee would ultimately result in rising flood insurance rates for all properties within the levee.

That means, of course, almost all properties in downtown Reedsport. Several panelists made clear that residential properties would eventually see yearly flood insurance premiums of $2,400-$3,000.

If you have a mortgage, you will be required to purchase flood insurance. Flood insurance premiums for commercial properties would be even higher.

The speaker from the Milton-Freewater Levee District spoke with authority because Milton-Freewater initially refused to certify their levee and then did see their insurance rates skyrocket. In response, a new district board stepped forward to address the issues, find a way to pay for and complete the certification process (which includes initial engineering and eventual levee improvement), and then see the resulting flood insurance savings for residents and businesses within the district. It was a powerful testimony.

After the last speaker was finished and before they answered questions I took a few moments to address those in attendance. I pointed out that it was very clear that Reedsport and its residents faced a true concern — an important one — in regard to levee certification and repair. I then said that it was just as clear that all of the expert panelists were in agreement that this community should move forward in a timely

manner and solve its levee issues. And then I pointed out that not only did we face difficult issues but that we also had a tremendous opportunity at hand. An opportunity that would help us move forward in a way that was smart and fiscally responsible.

This past May, Reedsport voters considered a ballot measure that would allow Reedsport to refinance the wastewater loan it has with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The refinancing would be done at a much lower interest rate than we currently pay. That lower interest rate would allow the Reedsport City Council to reduce wastewater rates but with a corresponding increase in storm water rates. The city may not use wastewater revenue for nonwastewater projects but we can use storm water fees for levee-related issues. The Reedsport City Council also believes that the lower interest payments would allow us to confidently predict that wastewater rates would remain stable for several years, with no increase.

Nearly 60 percent of Reedsport voters approved of this ballot measure. They recognized the city’s need and the opportunity provided by refinancing. However, the ballot measure did not pass because less than 50 percent of the registered Reedsport voters cast a vote. This was unfortunate. But because such a majority of voters were in support of the measure, the Reedsport City Council will likely put forward a measure that is similar on the November ballot. If the city is to refinance our DEQ loan and reap the resulting savings we will need to be able to demonstrate to the DEQ that we can meet future debt costs. This ballot measure will again accomplish that. Of course, successful passage of the measure will allow the city the finances needed to get underway with the engineering costs associated with certification of our levee. Those funds will also allow us to leverage the more dollars needed for the work we will likely need to do on the levee.

Reedsport must face the need for certification of our levee. Recent federal action mandates that we do so or see flood insurance rates for properties within the levee (nearly all of downtown Reedsport) rise substantially.

Very substantially, in fact.

Such significant rate increase will impact all of Reedsport.

Just ask Milton-Freewater about that. But we have a method at hand that will allow us to finance much of the work we will need to have done, especially the initial engineering.

I encourage each of you, were you not at the town hall, to view the video tape of that meeting as it becomes available. I also encourage you, again, to vote this November to allow the city to refinance its wastewater loan and apply the subsequent savings to our great levee concerns.

LOCAL OBITUARIES

Water board gets final members

William “Bill” E. Bryant Sept. 18, 1928 - July 16, 2014

By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post

Reedsport Justice of the Peace Steve Miller swears in Susanna Noordhoff and Mack Holman to fill in the last two vacant seats on the Gardiner Sanitary District board. The two join Ed Cook, Ray Potter and Richard Nored. The five were selected to take seats vacated by the recall of the previous GSD board. The new board’s next meeting will be Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. at the Gardiner fire hall.

In an effort to determine the buying habits in Coos, Curry and Western Douglas Counties, we need YOUR help.

William “Bill” E. Bryant, 85, of Ajo, Ariz., and Corbett passed away Wednesday, July 16, 2014, after a brief illness. Bill was born Sept. 18, 1928, to Ambrose William and Sarah (Grabel) Bryant in Portland.

He attended Franklin High School before joining the U.S. Air Force. After his service, he worked in Seattle where he met and married Geraldine “Gerry” Weber. Bill’s work as a telegrapher/payroll clerk with the railroad took him to Spokane, Wash., Portland, Eugene and Reedsport. In Reedsport, he became the bookkeeper for the Umpqua Navigation Co., working there for more than 20 years.

He was active in the community with Cub/Boy Scouts, and was a weekend lifeguard at the local swim pool for many years. He was a past president of the Reedsport Chamber of

Commerce and was named Reedsport Chamber’s Man of the Year.

Bill and Gerry had three children. After a move to Sandy, Bill married Fran in 1977. When both were retired, they sold their property to be full-time motorhomers traveling much of the United States and Canada. They enjoyed camp hosting with state parks in Oregon and New Mexico. After retiring from their volunteer work, they spent winters in Ajo, Ariz., and spring and summers in Corbett.

Bill is survived by his wife Fran; children, Patty and Larry Johnson of Salem, Kathy Handy of Burlington, Wash., and Bob and Julie Bryant of Bend; stepchildren, Cynthia Thomas of Tucson, Ariz., and Julie and Tracy McCann of Portland; 11 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

Interment will be at Portland Memorial.

Man dies in car crash west of Eugene MAPLETON (AP) — Authorities say a man has died in a car crash on Highway 126, west of Eugene.

Oregon State Police say a sport utility vehicle was traveling westbound on the highway when it veered off the roadway and crashed head-on into a tree. The accident occurred on Saturday at about 3 a.m. near the town of Mapleton.

As a result of the crash, the tree broke in the middle

and landed on the highway, blocking the eastbound lane.

Police say it’s not known

why the car veered off the road. The man was declared deceased at the scene.

He explained FEMA and USACE do have separate standards.

“I want to, hopefully, leave you with some confidence that we are working to try and combine the two programs,” he explained.

He told the town hall that his group will do the work.

“The people who work in my section are the levee safety program engineers,” he said. “They’re the ones that come out and inspect levees and work with all the levy districts in our area.”

including the tions, Rehabilitation and Inspection Program; risk assessment; levee evaluations and major and minor modifications.

He said the risk assessment isn’t unique to Reedsport.

“We also have started doing a risk assessment,” he said, “which is kind of an evaluation where we look at a levee system and we try and look at (from the standpoint of) what’s going to make this levee fail. We take a riskbased analysis of it. They’re very complex. All the levee systems in the United States are going through this right now. They’re all going to get a risk rating.”

Flood insurance comes from the National Flood Insurance Program.

Brodesser says evaluations from FEMA and USACE are important for determining how much building owners will pay each year in flood insurance, from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.

“We can perform the levee evaluations for the NFIP,” he said, “but, unfortunately, we don’t provide that service for free.

Congress does not allocate money to us to do that. In fact, there are some Congressional acts that limit our ability to do that because we would be in direct competition with other engineering firms out there.”

The city of Reedsport is in the process of trying to find funding to do an initial evaluation of the nearly 4 miles of public and private levee in the city.

The city had submitted a plan to voters in May that would have allowed savings in a refinance of the city’s wastewater treatment plant to go to the levee. The measure passed, but did not have the 50 percent of city voters to qualify.

Brodesser says the evaluations will be used to prepare flood insurance rate maps.

“The community has to levy themselves, if you will, to get the money to hire us to do that,” he said.

Or, hire someone else.

“It’s still your choice whether to hire the Corps to do this,” Brodesser said, “or you hire a private engineering firm.”

LOCAL DuneFest FROM PAGE 1

Community yard sale in Elkton also is this weekend young women in whole lot less, and enjoy seeing a parade of puppies and kids.

The vehicle watching is my favorite. People will put wheels on just about anything and drive it out onto the sand. Everything from skyscraper Volkswagens to a bathtub with paddle tires might be seen cruising past, or lined up in the show and shine. I love the classy little four-door sedans and the totally wild inventions that look like parade floats.

There’s a chance you can still get a coveted volunteer job, which means free admission and a super stylin’ DuneFest T-shirt. To volunteer, call Debbie McKinney at 541-271-2146.

For more information on DuneFest 2014, call the Chamber office at 541-2713495 and visit the website, www.dunefest.com.

If you happen to be one of those DuneFest grumblers who complains about the lines at Safeway and the traffic on the highway, try to be patient. It’s one week a year and it means everything to the business owners in town. Without events like DuneFest a huge percentage of our restaurants and shops would have to close, and move to more accommodating towns. So, when you have to wait an extra two minutes to pull onto the highway, just smile and sing with the radio, will ya?

If you really can’t stand it, the highway goes both ways and this might be the perfect time to see the sights in other towns. Here’s a couple of suggestions:

Community yard sale This has the potential to be a pickers dream! The whole Elkton area is cleaning out garages, barns and the back 40 for the annual Communitywide Yard Sale this Saturday, Aug. 2.

Imagine what might be tucked away in the crannies of all those big old houses.

And the barns! Follow the cars and you’ll see where it’s all going on. It sounds like some is set up at the Community Center and then there are dozens of individual sales at private homes.

Get pickin’!

Doh-see-doh That’s longhand for “Contra at the Coast” taking place Saturday night, Aug. 2,

at the Smith River Grange. I believe “Contra” is lingo for square dancing since the press release says there will be a live band and callers. A good old fashioned barn dance is promised, with fun for all ages. Don’t worry about bringing a partner or knowing how to swing someone up over your head — all the dances will be taught on the spot, so beginners will fit right in.

The Outstanding Open Band will be firing up at 7 and playing till 10 p.m.

Dance calling by real people: Stacy Rose, Karen Olsen and Greg McKenzie. Doors open at 6:30 and the whole family is welcome. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for kids, and little ones 6 and under are free.

The event is sponsored by the South Coast Folk Society and the Smith River Grange Hall. The Grange is located on Lower Smith River Road.

Psychic Fair!

You don’t have to be a psychic to attend, just be interested in learning more about them. It’s the 18th annual Pathways to Transformation Holistic Health and Psychic Fair in Yachats, this Saturday and Sunday at the Yachats Commons.

The fair is a surprisingly large one with more than 70 exhibitors selling everything from vitamins to the thoughts inside your head.

You can have a tarot card reading or a rock reading, a traditional session with a psychic or meet with a psychic who also diagnoses health issues or communicates with friends and relatives on the other side.

There are reiki masters and pet communicators, life coaches and past life regressers. Have your aura read and at another booth purchase matching “goddess wear” in complimentary colors. You can also have a nice relaxing chair massage, buy some handcrafted jewelry and get some lunch.

There are plenty of lotions and soaps, cleaning products and home décor items to peruse. It’s a full day, and each booth invites you to ask questions, pick up a pamphlet, learn more about spirituality and metaphysical lifestyles. You don’t have to buy a thing. Your $3 donation buys you both days entrance to the fair, including the 25 seminars covering topics from contacting your angels to dealing with grief.

Each practitioner has a price for individual services. A traditional psychic reading,

a brief one, generally runs between $25 and $50, but there are also a variety of bargains to be had, such as a “question for $5” or possibly a glance at the colors of your aura for a buck.

The fair is fun. Where else can you find fairy doors to attach to your trees, have your astrologic chart created, get a neck message and say “hello” to your long dead relatives, all before lunch?

And one more benefit for those hightailing it out of here during DuneFest? This is about as far as you can cosmically travel from DuneFest.

The Pathways to Transformation Holistic Health and Psychic Fair is open Saturday, Aug. 2, 10-6, and Sunday, Aug. 3, 9-5. It is located at Yachats Commons, Highway 101 and Fifth St.

Can you believe it’s already time for the last one of the season? Be sure to be there to wrap it up on Thursday, Aug. 7 starting at 6 p.m. on the lawn in front of the Umpqua Discovery Center. The local band “Strange Brew” will be on stage, sharing s great variety of blues, rock & roll, R&B, swing, jazz and everything in between. One of the featured players is Sean Grubb, the famous one man band, but imagine what he can do with a band behind him?

Sean was the big winner of the talent show this year, so if you missed it but heard all about him, this is your chance to see what all the talk is about. I hear the band is terrific and this is a rare opportunity to hear them.

(I’m not dissing the rest of the band members, I just happen to know more about Sean because his wife is my pal and she thinks he’s pretty talented. I believe her – she never lies to me. ) You know the rules, but I’ll say it one more time anyway. Bring a picnic or buy hotdogs there, don’t forget lawnchairs or a blanket to spread on the ground. You can also get a pizza to go from the Waterfront or something from the Schooner Café, both right next to the Umpqua Discovery Center. The show is free and all ages are welcome. But leave the hooch and the pooch at home. No alcohol or pets are allowed.

Postseason tourneys set to start

BY JOHN GUNTHER The Umpqua Post

Seven Reedsport baseball players are in postseason tournaments this week and next.

In Medford, Marquece Williams, Griffin Kaufmann and Shallon Zehe are playing for North Coos in the American Legion A-level state tournament.

North Coos, which won the Area 4 North Division, is one of eight teams in the tournament. The Waterfront opens today (July 30) against a Salem-area team.

The event runs through Sunday and is played in a double-elimination format. Thursday’s game will be against either North Medford or Jake’s, a Portland-area squad. If North Coos wins it’s opener, the second game is at 4:30 p.m. A loss means a spot in the consolation bracket at 9:30 a.m.

The four teams on the other side of the bracket are Central Point, Roseburg Pepsi, La Grande and tournament-host South Medford.

North Coos won three of its four league games this year against Roseburg Pepsi and split four nonleague games against both South Medford and North Medford, winning at Clyde Allen Field and losing in

Medford.

The last of those doubleheaders was the regular-season finale Friday, when North Coos swept North Medford in two close games — 5-4 and 4-3.

Williams started a two-run rally with two outs in the seventh inning of the second game, smashing a single to left field. He then stole second and took third on error, scoring on a single by teammate Jon Bennison.

Kaufmann was the winning pitcher in the first game, pitching the first four innings and allowing two runs. North Coos scored all its runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Kaufmann is likely to pitch at some point during the state tournament and Zehe has been the team’s regular catcher for Hunter Jackson, another of the pitchers.

Meanwhile, four of Reedsport’s younger players will be in regional Babe Ruth tournaments.

Wayde Doane and James Hixenbaugh were key players on the South Coast’s 15-year-old all-star team, which will be playing in the Pacific Northwest 13- to 15-year-old tournament at Baker City starting Aug. 5.

The South Coast squad is in one of five teams in the American Division for the event, and plays each of the other

four teams over a five-day period.

South Coast opens the tournament against North Washington at noon on Aug. 5 and then plays South Washington at 9 a.m. on Aug. 6. On Aug. 7, the team faces tournamenthost Baker, and the squad has an off day on Aug. 8.

On the final day of pool play, Aug. 9, South Coast faces Montana.

Doane is one of the team’s top pitchers and threw a complete game in the final of the Southern Oregon State Tournament and Hixenbaugh is one of the leading hitters.

Meanwhile, Kyle Barnes and Griffin Kaufmann are on the 13-year-old that has advanced to its Pacific Northwest regional at Helena, Mont.

Barnes and Kaufmann are among several players who pitch for the squad and also can fill spots in the lineup.

South Coast faces the team from Alberta at 11 a.m. Friday in the tournament opener and then faces North Washington at 4:30 p.m. On Saturday, South Coast faces South Washington at 8 a.m. and tournament-host Helena at 1:30 p.m.

The semifinals and championship game are Sunday.

The winner of each eight-team regional tournament advances to the Babe Ruth World Series.

Humphrey tournament Volleyball camp will be held Aug. 31 is next week THE UMPQUA POST

The Reedsport Braves Boosters Association is looking for sponsors and teams for the 20th annual Bill Humphreys Memorial Golf Tournament.

The event is Sunday, Aug. 31, at Forest Hills Country Club.

The cost to become a team sponsor is $100. That comes with recognition as a sponsor on one of the tees on the golf course, as well as on the sponsors wall at the clubhouse. Team sponsors also get entry for one player into the tournament.

The cost for individual players to sign up is $30 and includes green fees for the nine-hole tournament, as well as a post-round meal.

The tournament begins with a shotgun start at 2 p.m.

In addition, prizes are being sought for a raffle that will be held along with an awards ceremony following the tournament.

The event is a benefit for high school and junior golf in Reedsport.

For more information or an entry form, visit www.bravesboosters.com.

Reedsport football camps start Aug. 11 THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport has upcoming football camps for high school students and those in the fifth through eighth grades.

The camps are Aug. 11-14 at Ruppe Field. The cost is $20 and includes a camp Tshirt.

Students entering fifth through eighth grade will have camp from 4 to 5:30 p.m. each night. High school students will have camp from 6 to 8 p.m.

The non-contact camps will focus on football funda-

mentals, with an overview of the offenses and defenses used by all levels of Reedsport football programs.

The camps also will help the athletes get in shape for the upcoming season, which will help players avoid injury when practice starts in a few weeks.

A new element of the camps this year will be a leadership program that will be incorporated throughout the camps.

The first day for high school practice this fall will be Aug. 16.

Deadline for sports physicals is soon THE UMPQUA POST The deadline is fast approaching for Reedsport student-athletes to schedule their sports physicals at Dunes Family Health Care.

The deadline to get physicals for fall sports is Aug. 11.

The facility treats the physicals as all-around well-child checks, with the goal of providing comprehensive health care to patients and their families.

That’s important because adolescence is a time of intense physical and behavioral change.

THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport will host a high school volleyball camp next week as the team begins preparation for the new season.

The camp runs from 5-8 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is no cost for Reedsport students.

The team also will participate in the North Bend team camp the following week.

All of the girls planning to be on the high school team are encouraged to attend that camp, which has a cost of $125 for the week.

For more information, call James Hixenbaugh at 541-662-0622 or 541-271-3414.

Reedsport Braves coaches and players at all the different positions.

The camp includes basic principles of both offense and defense, and this year will feature a short leadership clinic the first day of the camp.

The fee for the camp is $20 and includes a camp Tshirt.

A registration form is available at www.bravesboosters.com.

The visits cover not just growth and vaccines, but also healthy habits, emotional development and risk-taking.

Providers meet with parents and students together, then the students alone, followed by a recap of issues with both parent and student. The format allows the students to discuss questions or concerns they are embarrassed to talk about in front of their parents.

For more information, contact Dunes Family Health Care at 541-271-2163.

Medford area lake will be new home to tiger trout Fish Lake, east of Medford, once produced a brown trout weighing more than 18 pounds. Of course the 18 pound behemoth was caught decades ago, but it seems that this particular fish lake is on the verge of, once again, offering more varied fishing with true lunker potential. In addition to its rainbow and brook trout and landlocked Chinook salmon, Fish Lake was stocked with tiger trout — a sterile cross between a male brook trout and a female brown trout. While Fish Lake’s tiger trout will never rival the lake’s record brown of the distant past, tiger trout are fast growing and have been caught to at least 15-inches this summer. An indicator of their ultimate size potential is the fact that at least two Washington lakes have produced tiger trout weighing more than 13 pounds.

Umpqua River above Winchester Bay — and a couple of finclipped summer steelhead have been caught in the past week by anglers after surfperch.

I had the pleasure of tasting a 10 pound summer steelhead after Curly Dodge had smoked it — and it was delicious.

A few citations were issued this last week to anglers that misidentified both coho salmon and yelloweye rockfish.

The best news is that crabbing continues to improve and while the ocean is producing the most consistent success, boat crabbers in the lower Umpqua River and even dockbound crabbers are also making good catches.

Herring remain rare in Winchester Bay, but there seems to be plenty of assorted forage species present and quite a few anglers are starting to target them with 6-hook herring rigs.
