District outlines negotiations for teacher contract BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post

A ceremony is held Sunday, Nov. 2, for a new monument at the Reedsport Masonic Cemetery.

Granite memorial added to Masonic Cemetery BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

It was a solemn but family-friendly ceremony at the Reedsport Masonic Cemetery on Sunday. A Memorial In Remembrance was installed at the cemetery. The memorial is complete with a bench to observe the names on the large granite slab. The name of Roger W. Booher was added to the memorial last week, just before the ceremony. Booher was a master Mason who died in March of this year. “Roger came to me,” Harold Hinshaw said at Sunday’s ceremony, “and said ‘we need to make some improvement to that cemetery.’ I said ‘yeah.’ He said ‘I’ll tell you what, Harold. Go over to Cottage Grove and take a look at the memorial wall they have.’ I did. I took some pictures and I brought them back to the lodge. This is what we came up with.” After a vote at the Reedsport Aurora Masonic Lodge No. 59 and decided to dedicate the memorial to Booher. “Roger was a good Mason,” Hinshaw said, “a good father, a good husband and he was a good member of

The Reedsport School District issued a report on where the district is regarding teacher negotiations. Those negotiations could reach an impasse in the next month. The administration sent out a letter to community members and staff of the district, dated Oct. 29. (See page A4) “The negotiating teams for Reedsport School District and the Association of Reedsport Educators met at the District office from 4:30 p.m. Thursday Oct.23 to 1:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 24 to participate in a mediation to reach a settlement on the 2014 collective bargaining agreement.” The report said the two sides have been negotiating since March of this year and, according to the district letter, “have reached agreement on most of the articles in the collective bargaining agreement.” The remaining issues include the schedule at Reedsport Community Charter School, whether the district should pay teachers if they bring action against the district and, according the report, pay for the next two years. “The District has presented a proposal to increase the teachers’

the lodge.” A pin was given to Booher’s widow, Bonnie. “This pin was created as an emblem that symbolizes our continued concern and honor for the widow of a brother,” Master Mason Jack Dailey read. “We cannot forget those things that he loved so deeply. “Look at this emblem and be assured that we are there and we care. Our widow’s pin was created with the hope that it would be worn by the widow of a Master Mason at all appropriate occasions, especially with family, so that she may be recognized, greeted and assisted as necessary by Masonic friends throughout the world. It is an emblem of honor.” Hinshaw said the actual stone had an interesting history before coming to Reedsport. “It’s Georgia granite,” he explained, “gray, polished Georgia granite. It’s so heavy that they shipped it by ship from Georgia, through the Panama Canal to Portland.” The Umpqua Post From there it went to a Hillsboro company, Oregon Memorials, which did the engraving. The president of the It was shipped to Reedsport by truck. Association of Reedsport Educators responded to a letter the district sent out to district patrons and staff about how negotiations were going, after the teachers contract expired June 30. Dan Vasquez responded by email to a number of questions from The Umpqua Post. Vasquez says his previous experience with negotiations went well. “This my second contract negotiations,” he said. “In the first negotiations session that I was part of, the entire process was done in about three months. That included getting the negotiations team assembled, bringing everyone up to speed, and then the process of negotiating. Having discussed the process with other more experienced members, only one other

salary by 1 percent this year and 1.5 percent next year,” read the letter. ”The Association’s proposal is to have a 1.5 percent increase this year and a 2 percent increase next year. The district letter stated that increasing pay that much would reduced the district’s fund balance to 2 percent. The association, according to the letter, also wants an increase in the amount the district pays each employee towards their monthly insurance premium. “The association would like to maintain the requirement that $21,000 be budgeted for this purpose. The district has proposed language that would attempt to provide these funds but give the District discretion to not if our financial situation did not allow it.” The school board held an executive session Tuesday, Oct. 25 to talk about negotiations but did not take any action when it went into open session. Teachers attended that meeting but were not allowed in the executive session and made no comments before or after that session. Teachers did comment at the

situation compares with our current session and that negotiation culminated in September. The negotiations team is new to the mediation process, we usually reach contract agreements amicably and in a relatively short amount of time.” Vasquez said the district and teachers do have some issues that will require further negotiation. “The association and district are apart on hours and preparation,” he said, “the expectation of more student time without bargaining for it.” He also said they’re apart on a successor agreement, the length of the contract, leaves and pay for employees testifying in grievances or unfair labor practices. “This has never been a concern in previous negotiations,” Vasquez said.

Buddy Poppies going on sale By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post

Senna Middleton, Akaysha Middleton, Ariah Baker and Leilani Baker trick or treat together during the second annual Town Trick or Treat on Friday.

Veterans of Foreign Wars members are displaying Buddy Poppies at Safeway, Price ‘n’ Pride and various places around the Reedsport area. They will be seeking donations Nov. 8-11. According to the group’s website “the VFW conducted its first poppy distribution before Memorial Day in 1922, becoming the first veterans' organization to organize a nationwide distribution. The poppy soon was adopted as the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.”

Health Authority to discuss change to Trillium system The Umpqua Post

The changeover, in western Douglas County, from the Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization to Eugenebased Trillium will be considered by The Oregon Health Authority before it happens. “On Oct. 29, we received notice

from Columbia Pacific CCO of their intent to change their service area,” OHA’s Alissa Robbins said. “We are now in the process of working with coordinated care organizations to determine both interest and readiness in covering this area. Readiness review includes a review of the CCO's network, clinical integration and

community support amongst other things.” Trillim’s CEO, Terry Coplin, discussed the possibility of coverage of Reedsport and the surrounding area. “I originally received a request from PeaceHealth,” Coplin explained. “PeaceHarbor Hospital had been working closely with the

Reedsport hospital. The two of them had discussed the possibility of joining Trillium, because PeaceHealth is part of our Trillium CCO. It was first through PeachHealth and then I talked to (Lower Umpqua Hospital Administrator) Sandra Reese. She thought the community would be interested in that.”

Szalewski has also done Lower Umpqua Hospital TNT’s now-cancelled will probably get noisier “Leverage,” and is also a before it gets quieter. popular actor in Florence Nursing Supervisor theater.

I have to think Burial, Military Honors, about that.” Cremation Specialists With an agent, she said, they expect you to work. “As soon as you get an agent,” she said, “they want you doing auditions.”

Reedsport actress to appear in “Grimm” Sometimes people watch a TV show and think ‘hey, I know that person.” In the case of NBC’s “Grimm” television show, they might be right. Reedsport’s Tamara Szalewski recently went to Portland to film two episodes of the show, which is based and shot in Portland. She was not only an extra, but she was a featured extra. “Grimm” has a soundstage in north Portland, but Szalewski said her recent scenes were shot on location. “Pretty close to downtown, they have a floor in a hotel,” she remembered. “It was pretty close to the waterfront area.” She was there for two days. It’s lucky, she said, she has relatives in the area. “I have relatives in the area and a lot of friends,” she said. “So, I’m able to call them on short notice and they’re like ‘sure, come on up.’ So, I have a place to stay and it doesn’t cost me to stay overnight.” It’s not the first television outing for Szalewski. She also appeared on the TV

show “Leverage,” which also shot in Portland before it was canceled. She was an ATF agent, as well as a stand-in for one of the main characters: Sofie. Sofie was played by Gina Bellman. Szalewski was asked about the differences in shooting “Leverage” verses shooting “Grimm.” “Leverage, the one that we did, we were actually out by Hillsboro,” she said. “We did a lot of outdoor/indoor scenes. There’s a whole different feel for each crew. It’s just like a theater set. You get involved with a bunch of people. I would say the difference with ‘Leverage’ was there was always a high level, because you seem to be more out in the public.” Szalewski also shot an episode of “The Librarians,” which shot in Portland and will have it’s debut next month on TNT. It’s also not her first experience with “Grimm.” She was a featured extra in a season three episode playing a steampunk carnival character. She explained how she became a featured extra. “Each time there’s almost an audition process,” she

explained. “You have to go in. You have to submit photos, because they’re looking for a very specific look. If they accept you, a lot of times you have to do that so they can work directly with you. In this particular one, they were really looking for people who had experience in the EMT/doctor department. I’ve been an EMT and a firefighter before.” The most recent shooting for “Grimm” saw her prominently featured in the scenes she was in. “Every camera angle needed me to be in there,” she said. “I couldn’t not be there.” She said she was exhausted after two days of shooting. Locally, she has done theater in Florence. She was cast as M'Lynn (the mother of Shelby) in Steel Magnolias, which was directed by Melanie Heard at the Florence playhouse. She also does dinner theater with the Poison Pen Players in Florence. “I have played the role of Beatrice, first-mate to Captain Ursula in 'Argh, PinkEye, Pirate's Parrot in Peril,'” she said.

Florence hosts Veterans Day Parade Florence will host the eighth annual Veterans Day Parade on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 1 p.m. It will stage at the Florence Events Center, continue onto Bay Street, ending at Veteran’s Memorial Park. Grand Marshals this year will be WWII veterans and current returning veterans from all branches of service. The parade’s theme is “Honoring Veterans, Past and Present.” Tim Sapp is helping to organize the parade. He can be contacted at 541-9998230. “Many Americans mistakenly believe that Veterans Day is the day America sets aside to honor American military personnel who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in combat,” Sapp wrote in a letter to The Umpqua Post.“That’s

tions is ‘during your stay, how often was the area around your room quiet at night,’” she wrote. “The hospital is never silent, especially the nursing station. There are call bells bussing, the ringing of the phone, monitor alarms, pump alarms, not to mention the staff have to talk to each other about the care of their patients.” As the nursing station is remodeled, some solutions will be to give ear plugs to patients, replacing carts that rattle, placing rubber stoppers on doors that close loudly and decreasing the amount of overhead paging. A “Yacker-Tracker” will be installed at the nursing station. It’s a stop light that measures sound. “Green is good, yellow means you need to be mindful and quieter and red means you are being too loud,” Blohm wrote.

A parade will also be held in Roseburg on Tuesday,Nov.11. The 2014 Douglas County Veterans Day Parade will begin at 11 a.m. in downtown Roseburg. Grand Marshals are Desert Shield/Desert Storm veterans.

OPINION

Emergency Medical Services BY CHRISTIAN WALTER AND JAMIE SWAFFORD The Lower Umpqua Hospital District (LUHD) Emergency Medical Services Department is the sole ambulance service provider to the Reedsport area. LUHEMS provides 911 ambulance service to an area greater than 650 square miles, including the communities of Reedsport, Winchester Bay, Gardiner, Scottsburg, and Lakeside. We also cover 24 miles of recreational use dunes. There are about 10,000 residents inside our ambulance service area, along with a large tourist presence that peaks around the first of August for one of the area’s most popular events — Dune Fest. We respond to around 1,100 emergencies each year, or just less than four per day on average. As a department of

years, and some for more than 20. We currently have on staff five full-time paramedics, two full time EMTintermediates, and an EMTbasic. Most of our on-call staff are paramedics. The training required to work on the ambulance depends on the level that the medic will practice at, for paramedics a degree (A.A.S. in Paramedicine) is required, EMT-intermediates are required to take four terms of college coursework, and EMT-Basics are required to take two terms of college coursework. While all medics are required to participate in continuing medical education each year, the quantity required depends on the level of the medic. EMS staff work 24hours shifts, beginning each day at 7 a.m., eliminating any lapses in area coverage. While on duty the crews are stationed at the

hospital, and between calls they can be found preparing themselves and their equipment for the next call. LUH-EMS personnel can also be found training with our local fire departments, participating in monthly CPR training for public and healthcare providers, as well as engaging in various community outreach events, such as standbys at our local high school football games. We also manage a membership program called Paramed, a program that helps cover the unanticipated costs of an emergency that requires ambulance transport. This membership program is honored by other ambulance services throughout most of Oregon, making it a valuable membership even when traveling or vacationing out of town. Applications are available

at the admitting desks or online at http://www.lowerumpquahospital.org/emergencymedical-services/, and the program is available to all Individuals and families living within Lower Umpqua Hospital’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) District. The staff at LUH-EMS greatly appreciates the trust that our community has in us, trusting that we will take care of them or their loved one in their time of need. We promise to work tirelessly to ensure your trust is deserved, and to diligently search for ways to serve our community better. We hope you will never need our service, but, if you do, we’ll be here for you 24/7.

LETTERS Dear Community Members and Staff of the Reedsport School District, The following is a release of information regarding the current negotiation process currently underway in the Reedsport School District; The negotiating teams for Reedsport School District and the Association of Reedsport Educators met at the District office from 4:30 p.m. on Thursday October

23, 2014 to 1:30 a.m. on Friday, October 24, 2014 to participate in a mediation to reach a settlement on the 2014 collective bargaining agreement. The parties have been negotiating since March 2014 and have reached agreement on most of the articles in the collective bargaining agreement. The remaining issues include the schedule at the charter school, whether the District

should pay teachers for leave to attend a proceeding when the Association or the employee is bringing an action against the District, and the amount the teacher’s salary should be increased in the next two school years. The District has presented a proposal to increase the teachers’ salary by 1% this year and 1.5% next year. The Association’s proposal is to have a 1.5% increase this year and a 2% increase next year. If the District accepted the Association’s financial proposal, the District’s fund balance would be diminished to 2%. The current budget is overextended to a point that the reserve fund balance is at 4%. Typically a 7 to 10% ending fund balance is considered fiscally responsible. The District is also seeking discretion in how much money is allocated to provide teacher’s additional salary to develop curriculum. The Association would like to maintain the requirement that $21,000 be budgeted for this purpose. The District has proposed language that would attempt to provide these funds but give the District discretion to not if our financial situation did not allow it.

The Association is seeking an increase in the amount the District pays each employee towards their monthly insurance premium. The District would like to retain the current contribution of $1,145 per month per teacher. The Association is seeking a 5% increase for the 2015-16 school year so that the District’s insurance contribution would be $1,200 per month per teacher. The District currently allocates $17,000 to reimburse teachers for tuition costs and would like to maintain that amount into the next contract. The Association is seeking to increase that amount to $18,000 this year and $20,000 next year. The parties are also still discussing whether there will be any increases to teacher’s 403(b) accounts, which is a retirement account in addition to PERS. The District would like to maintain its current level of contribution to these accounts. The District and ARE scheduled a second mediation session on November 10, 2014 to continue contract negotiations. Reedsport School District Board of Directors

Commissioners approve sale of a portion of Bolon Island Douglas County Commissioners approved a bargain and sale deed to sell a portion of Bolon Island to LTM Incorporated for a dry dock. Douglas County Public Works Director Robb Paul presented the item to commissioners at their Oct. 29 meeting. “We purchased Bolon Island in about 2000,” Paul explained. “At the time Umpqua Navigation had the dry dock ... the lease for the dry dock. We just assumed that lease when we bought the property. LTM has since bought out Umpqua Navigation and they have been leasing the dry dock for a number of years.” Paul said they deter-

mined it was in the county’s best interest to sell the property. “There have been a lot of issues ...” he said. “Leadbased paints, etc. So, rather than us deal with the DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) and the cleanup, we felt it was more prudent to sell to LTM and let them deal with the cleanup in the future.” Interim Commissioner Mike Winters wanted to know why LTM wanted a dry dock. “They still have barges,” Paul explained, “that they use for shuttling rock around. They still have to repair those barges and so they use the dry dock to do that. They used to dredge

out of the river but, now, they haven’t been able to get a permit to continue doing the dredging. So, they pulled the dredge out but they still do have some barges that they repair.” Paul explained the 15 acres would bring the county $10,000. The dry dock facility is on the east end of Bolon Island, just west of the train trestle over the Umpqua River. Commissioner Winters motioned to approve the bargain and sale deed.Commissioner Susan Morgan seconded.The motion carried unanimously.

Reports detail strengths, challenges in local food systems SUBMITTED STORY

PORTLAND – Just over a year ago three participants in the AmeriCorps Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE) program began intensive projects to detail the food issues and assets in Curry, Coos and Douglas counties. RARE Program members have completed 17 community food assessments covering 24 counties under the guidance of Oregon Food Bank. By 2016, community food assessments will be available for all rural counties in Oregon. Community food assessments help identify strengths and weaknesses in how food is grown, processed, packaged, and distributed. Ultimately the assessments can assist the community in achieving a sustainable natural resource base and improving eco-

nomic conditions. Each RARE participant interviewed community members, attended meetings, and facilitated conversations in order to get a well-rounded view of their assigned county. Sponsored by Wild Rivers Coast Alliance and in partnership with Oregon Food Bank, RARE members heard many of the same opportunities, including: ■ USDA certified meatprocessing facility – Ranchers must transport their animals to Springfield (120-250 miles away) to be processed. The facility handles animals from all over the area which translates to a long waiting list. Combined with the high cost of transportation, most of the resulting product does not come back to Coos and Curry counties for retail sale. ■ Food system council – In an effort to make changes, it is important to

bring together stakeholders such as farmers, fishermen, nonprofit organizations, government officials and others to create a strategic plan for 2014-2015. This group could then act as an incubator to help initiate and grow regional food system projects. ■ Alternative markets for cranberries – Oregon cranberries are in large supply but nationally there is a glut of product. Growers say their product is sweeter. A feasibility study could help determine if Oregon cranberries have the potential to be a niche market. A community food assessment was completed for Douglas County in 2013. The follow-up report, released this year, updates the efforts to strengthen the local food system.

Casino right on schedule Will hire 80 to 120 employees ■

BY DEVAN PATEL The World

COOS BAY — With the exception of last week’s horrendous weather conditions, the construction of Three Rivers Casino Coos Bay is right on schedule as this year’s mild weather has limited delays for the most part. The 15,000-square-foot, class II gaming facility, located on Ocean Boulevard across from Honda World, is still scheduled to open sometime in May, though the date will continue to remain tentative given the unpredictability of weather delays. “We’re right on schedule,

but that of course is always permitting,” weather Chambers Construction project manager Pat Duerr said. “Right now, we’re contending with some issues, but we think we’ll be able to navigate past them because we have a weather window.” While all construction materials are now on site, Duerr said the casino is still waiting to put the permanent roofing on, which will allow the project to continue with masonry and drywall. “We’re waiting for a few days of good weather, but if we hadn’t had this last stretch of weather, we wouldn’t be needing to have this conversation,” Duerr said. Once the outside construction is completed, it

will take about 30 days for the casino to become fully operational. In addition to adding another tourist destination, the casino, operated by The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, will also provide an added economic benefit through increased employment opportunities. “We’ve been talking about hiring more in range of 80 FTEs and we’ll probably have about 120 bodies on the premises,” Tribal Council Chair Bob Garcia said. The casino had initially estimated 50 to 60 full-time employees would be hired by the opening date. Garcia said the final decisions for hiring will be made sometime around January.

City Council gets a levee progress report BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post

The Reedsport City Council took some big steps, Monday, on the way to getting the city’s three miles of levee certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Levee certification is needed if Reedsport homes and businesses are to be spared huge hikes in flood insurance. The council heard a report from public works director John Stokes on a timeline for getting a consulting firm to help in the certification process. Stokes gave the council a progress report. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers routine inspection was done in September. “Items that were identified,” Stokes said, “We have engaged in affecting repairs. We’re just about through that list. “As we get these repairs completed we’re keeping the ArmyCorps up to speed on a weekly basis, literally.” Stokes said the city is waiting for the USACE report to be issued in late December. “So far there has been no indication that we’re going to be kicked out of their levee program,” Stokes said. “We may have marginally accepted items, but nothing, so far, that would indicate to us that we’re in any unacceptable category.” Progress in the USACE program means insurance rates won’t go up until the FEMA certification process in completed. Next steps are the city to issue the request for qualifications for consulting firms. Those RFQs should go out by the end of the week.

school board’s regular meeting Oct. 15. Head of the Association of Reedsport Educators, Dan Vasquez, told the board they were looking to “actually Stokes says their timeline would identify build a culture of respect.” a consulting firm in January. Requests for proposals and cost negotiations could occur in January and February. The city is trying to find federal funding to help in the levee certification process and funding for the consulting firm could come in May or June of next year. A firm could be hired as early as July. It’s possible it could cost $600,000 to $700,000 for certification, and depending on the funding available could take two to more than five years. “The estimate does not include any costs to remediate or upgrade any portion of the levee,” Stokes said. “We’re working on several possible sources of funding.” The council authorized staff to proceed with the request for qualifications process to obtain a levee certification consulting – Accounting – firm. In other action, the council adopted a calendar for city council and budget meetings in 2015. The city will hold a quarterly budget committee meeting on February 9 and then will hold budget committee meetings on April 13, 20 and 27. The council approved spending not more than $20,000 to replace three subsurface sewer slide gates near the city’s levee on Riverfront Way. Those slide gates have – Automotive – seized up and are not functioning. Mayor Keith Tymchuk also proclaimed the annual sale of Buddy Poppies by Veterans of Foreign Wars November 2-9. “I urge all patriotic citizens to wear a Buddy Poppy as mute evidence of our gratitude to the men and women of this country who have risked their lives in defense of the freedoms which we continue to enjoy as American citizens,” the mayor proclaimed.

Trillium FROM PAGE 1

Trillium is a for-profit insurance company owned by physicians would add about 2,000 potential members. Coplin explained what Trillium does. “We are the CCO in Lane County,” he said. “Trillium, itself, is an insurance company. It’s a for-profit insurance company. It’s owned, primarily, by physicians. It was started by physicians in Lane County. It really has evolved from what was an IPA (Independent Provider Association) called Lipa.” Coplin said Trillium is familiar with different health needs. “We’ve done Oregon Health Plan for many years,” he said. “We’ve also done Medicare. We have a Medicare Contract for MAPD (Medicare Advantage Plans). Most recently, we’ve put a commercial product on the exchange. That’s

absolutely brand new to us, so we really don’t have any experience in the commercial market.” Trillium also won a contract for the Public Employees Benefit Board in Lane County. “We’ll be offering insurance coverage for state employees this coming year, as well,” Coplin said. He was asked what he would tell people in Reedsport about the company. “One of the big issues is really on some of the resources around the quality ... the quality metrics the state has been set up,” he said. “We’ve discussed this with PeaceHealth and with the Reedsport hospital and the Lower Umpqua District. What we think will happen is that they will be getting more services and support from the Florence hospital.” He said he expects some integration of behavioral and physical health services. “It’ll be a process,” he said. “The whole transfor-

entered the mediation phase and another mediation session could be held Nov. 10. It’s not clear if that meeting will be held or whether negotiations would halt. A notification to strike could come in December if negotiations halt.

He said the district needed to achieve a settlement that allows “our teachers to focus on our students instead of worrying about the tension between the board and teachers.” The negotiations have

mation piece is what we’ve been focusing on in Lane County. That’s what we’ll be focusing on in the Lower Umpqua area.” Coplin said they will work with the county and provider groups to do a community assessment, a health needs assessment and then focusing on finding gaps in care. He also said it’s up to the Oregon Health Authority and the local community. It’s possible another CCO could jump into the mix if, in fact, the western Douglas County area is opened up with the pullback of Portland-based Columbia Pacific CCO. “It sounds like the Oregon Health Authority will ask us to put an application in,” Coplin said. “I think there’s heavy, heavy weight to what the local community wants. What I’ve told our board is that I would only recommend this if the community wants us to be there.”

Vasquez said they are not focusing on a strike. “We are focused on getting a fair contract,” he said.

“We want to focus all of our attention towards the educating of Reedsport children. The negotiations team is dedicated to the work of achieving a fair contract and we look forward to future mediation sessions. A timeline for a strike would be dictated by actions taken by the board, not by us. Vasquez said the association is still committed to working with the school board and the district’s negotiation team.

“Currently we are at the negotiations table,” he said, “and plan on remaining there with the hopes of achieving a fair contract.” He said he believes the negotiations can be settled amicably. “The negotiations team's goal is a fair contract settled amicably,” he said. “We are a district of concerned adults given the opportunity to serve young people of Reedsport and surrounding areas.”

Reedsport season ends in loss to Bobcats BY JOHN GUNTHER The Umpqua Post

MYRTLE POINT — With a playoff spot on the line and a freshman quarterback at the helm, Reedsport needed to play mistakefree football against Myrtle Point on Friday night. Instead, the Braves turned the ball over six times and lost the battle at the line of the scrimmage. The Bobcats beat the Braves 36-6 to take the Sunset Conference’s final spot in the Class 2A playoffs. All factors ended up in the Bobcats’ favor, Reedsport coach Shane Nelson said. “They played really well and we didn’t,” he said. “They beat us up front. “They were head-and-shoulders the better team.” The muddy field conditions

also favored Myrtle Point, with Reedsport’s running backs pinned between the tackles, where footing was its worst. “We didn’t handle the conditions of that field at all and Myrtle Point thrived in it,” Nelson said. “We can say what we want about playing on a faster field, but the bottom line is they played better and they played like they wanted it more than we did. It’s hard to take, but it’s the truth.” Myrtle Point scored on its first possession, immediately forced a turnover on the kickoff, and limited the Braves to just four first downs and 77 total yards after lost yardage was figured in. Reedsport’s lone score, a short touchdown run by Joey Herr, was set up by a bad punt snap by Myrtle Point. The Braves did force four turnovers — an interception and

three fumbles — but also gave up 379 rushing yards to the Bobcats. “I give a ton of credit to Myrtle Point,” Nelson said. “Those guys have come a long way in the past three years and they deserve to have the chance to go to the playoffs.” Nelson quickly added, though, that the playoff loss didn’t in any way take away from Reedsport’s own strong season. “It was a really good year,” he said. “We played a road-heavy schedule and were able to finish with a winning season for the second year in a row. “We had a chance to go to the playoffs in the last game of the year and the better team won. We have nothing to hang our heads about. I’m proud of our season and of our team.” The Braves succeeded despite being undersized and not finding a consistent offensive option to

complement Herr’s hard running. “This team was incredibly fun to coach,” Nelson said. “We never had to get them excited for practice or get on them about behavior or attendance.” Nelson praised the seniors. “Kuahman Perez and Jared Billings are ultimate team players who have always bought into what we taught,” he said. “And Cameron Winfield just epitomizes what we want a Reedsport Brave to be. Great player, good leader, but most of all just one of the best human beings I have ever been around.” In addition, Marquece Williams, Shallon Zehe and Chris James were big contributors despite not playing in previous years. Looking ahead, Nelson sees bright things in Reedsport’s future, especially if the players buy into offseason work in the weight room — a common theme in

Reedsport’s losses the past two years has been bigger and stronger teams pushing the team around. “I’m proud of the strides we have made,” Nelson said. “Our youth program numbers are increasing each year and those youngsters are learning what being a Brave is all about at a young age. “Our middle school program went undefeated and has a tremendous amount of talent and potential.” Several of those players might contribute right away next year, when Reedsport also returns a bunch of key players from this year. “While it’s a downer to end the season on a tough loss, it’s also easy to look back and be proud of where our program is,” Nelson said. “We are trending in the right direction and building a sustained foundation that will keep us competitive year in and year out.”

Reedsport’s Elsa Frakes sprints toward the finish in the district meet.

Frakes places fourth at middle school district THE UMPQUA POST middle Reedsport’s school cross country runners finished the season with strong performances at the recent Far West League dis-

trict meet. Elsa Seventh-grader Frakes was part of a fantastic girls race at Tugman State Park near Lakeside. The 3,000-meter race came down to a tight battle,

with Frakes placing fourth. Aneykah Coquille’s McCall won the race in a time of 12 minutes and 28 seconds. Marshfield’s Kaylee Delzotti, Kaeli Ramos of Siuslaw and Frakes all fin-

ished in 12:30. In the boys race, seventhgrader River Lichte placed 31st in 13:23. Seventh-grader Ashley Schuttpelz also competed at earlier meets.

Volleyball team comes up short in playoffs THE UMPQUA POST Reedsport got off to a great start against Culver in their volleyball playoff match Saturday, but couldn’t sustain the momentum as the Bulldogs roared back to take a 27-25, 25-11, 25-8 win, ending the season for the Braves. Reedsport coach James Hixenbaugh said he expects Culver to take the title in the Class 2A state tournament. The Braves weren’t able to get back to the tournament for the fourth straight year, but Hixenbaugh said the match should pay dividends for his young squad. “Overall, it was a good experience for them,” he said. “I told them after the game, ‘That’s what a championship team looks like.’” That’s what the Braves hope to

reach, with just three seniors on this year’s squad. “I’m excited (about the future),” Hixenbaugh said. “We’re just young and trying to build it back up.” The Braves started hot Saturday, building a 14-7 lead in the first set. “I was really impressed with the way we came out in that first set,” Hixenbaugh said. “They came out really wanting to win the match.” But Culver rallied behind powerful outside hitter Shealene Little and took control of the match. “When they won the first game, it kind of took the wind out of us,” Hixenbaugh said. The Braves didn’t pass well the final two sets, Hixenbaugh said. And the team wasn’t often enough able to block or tip the attacks by Little.

“She hit it hard,” Hixenbaugh said. “It was hard for the back row to dig it up.” Alyssa Aguirre did have 10 digs. Senior Britney Manicke had perhaps her best match for the Braves, finishing with a team-best 10 kills, though only three after the first set. Setter Kaylynn Hixenbaugh had just 17 assists and the Braves had just four aces. Mariah McGill, who led the team’s offense all year, had four kills. Now the Braves turn their attention to getting better. “I always preach the offseason is the most important,” James Hixenbaugh said, adding he will try to get the freshmen excited about improving their strength in the weight room. “They need to bulk up and get stronger,” he said. “The height is there. We just need to put it all together.”

Boat crabbing improves in Winchester Bay Crabbing seems to have improved at Winchester Bay last week. One boat with four people with shellfish licenses aboard had 46 firm legal crab in about three hours at Half Moon Bay. There were other good catches by boat crabbers, but crabbing from the Coast Guard Pier, Dock 9 and Dock “A” has only been fair. Crabbing in California opened on Nov. 1, but a surprising number of people purchased non-resident shellfish last week. Oregon definitely has the simplest rules regarding crabbing with one statewide size limit (5.75 inches), one daily bag limit (12 male crab) and a year-round season in tidewater. Because of the simplicity of Oregon’s crabbing regulations, I am convinced that the state gets more than it’s share of Pacific coast crabbing activity. If only the ODFW would adopt a similar approach toward salmon fishing. According to the people at the ODFW regional office in Charleston, there are good numbers of Chinook and some coho salmon scattered throughout the Elk and Sixes

It seems that there are some freshlyarrived Chinook from our local STEP chapter that stack up near the bridge on Winchester Creek after every good rain. Last Friday local angler Aaron “Abe” Abraham landed a Chinook of about 30 pounds. The fish bit a sand shrimp about a foot beneath a fairly small bobber in water about two feet deep. Former Reedsport resident, Jim Looney stopped by last weekend on his way from Virginia to a new job in Longview, Wash. Of course he couldn’t wait to fish Tenmile Lakes for largemouth bass. On Saturday and Sunday he landed about 15 bass weighing two pounds or slightly heavier using senkos and plastic worms. Jim said that it was very important that the lure sink slowly and that the best fishing was in places where he was also getting bites from yellow perch.
