Bandon students shine on exams By Chelsea Davis Bandon Western World
BANDON — OAKS scores held steady in Bandon last school year, mirroring the statewide trend. Oregon students didn’t show dramatic improvement on state tests last year, recent data shows. The Oregon Department of Education released the 2013-2014 Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills results two weeks ago. Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton glossed over the report, noting Scores there were no glarGo online to ing increases or theworldlink.com/ decreases from the bandon to see a year prior. graphic of “As a district, we Bandon’s OAKS have tried to scores over the emphasize effective last four years, as teaching strategies, well as a database with an extra of scores for all emphasis on 100 South Coast percent student schools. engagement,” said Bandon Schools Superintendent Diane Buche. “We also have a community that values education and supports our efforts.

A great pumpkin Daniel Greer, 8, an Ocean Crest Elementary School student, helped his father, Michael Greer, and sister Marissa Lee, 9, grow this giant pumpkin in the family’s yard on Ohio Street Northeast. Michael said they planted Atlantic giant pumpkin seeds and were amazed at how many pumpkins they produced. This one is estimated to weigh 250 pounds. Daniel and Marissa want to carve the pumpkin to make a huge jack-o-lantern and Daniel hopes to grow a 500-pound pumpkin next summer.

Marsh adds acreage for waterfowl hunting Bandon Western World
BANDON — Starting Oct. 4, waterfowl hunters will have almost 300 acres more hunting grounds in the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Monday. Waterfowl hunting has been offered on a portion of the Bandon Marsh since it was established in 1983, but now the opportunity for the public to hunt waterfowl on the Refuge is being expanded to include an additional 286 acres of restored tidal marsh on the Ni-les’tun Unit, locat-

Keiser planning Wisconsin resort similar to Bandon By Melanie Lawder Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune
BANDON — Across the country lies a small seaside city of about 3,000 people, called Bandon, Ore. Located right on the southern coast of the Pacific Wonderland, the city rests in a remote location. The closet metropolitan area is about 25 miles north in the bordering cities of Coos Bay and North Bend, with a combined population of more than 25,000.
The closest major metropolitan area, Portland, is a considerably farther hike, about a five-hour car drive. With its quaint shops, attractive boardwalk and location right on the water, Bandon has been described as “the bright star of the Oregon Coast,” said its mayor, Mary Schamehorn. The median sales price for a home in Bandon is presently $156,000, according to Trulia, and the town attracts an older demographic.
“Many of the people who have moved here in the last 20 to 30 years are retired, and while they are active volunteers, they no longer work,” Schamehorn said. “Retirement income is a huge part of what supports this area.” Like central Wisconsin, the Bandon area has a “thriving” cranberry industry, Schamehorn said.The city also has a history intertwined with cheesemaking and — coincidentally — it puts on an annual cranberry festival like the city of Wisconsin
Rapids. (Cranberry Blossom Festival in early June http://blossomfest.com/) But, perhaps more peculiar, Bandon also happens to be the home of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, developed by Mike Keiser — the same man facilitating the creation of Sand Valley in Rome.

Parents will have the opportunity to meet their child’s teachers and visit their classrooms. This is a drop-in open house, so parents may visit any time between 5 and 6:30 p.m. Teachers will be available in their classrooms. Parents also may visit choir director Holly
Sylvester in her room at HLMS and band director Dave Weston in his room at BHS. Parents are invited to meet new HLMS Principal Michelle Inskeep, review Common Core Standards for core subjects at each grade level, available in the HLMS office; take care of office business, such as paying for cafeteria meals or turning in sports paperwork; and ask questions. “If you wonder ‘why’
about anything at HLMS — policies, procedures, or anything else, please ask,” Inskeep said. Flu shots will be available. BHS Principal Sabrina Belletti said the Back to School night will include informational tables on BHS service clubs such as Surfriders, Rotary Interact and Kiwanis Key Club, information about the BHS Robotics class, and how students can become involved with the Go
Native program. Parents are invited to meet new and returning teachers, new athletic director/Dean of Students Amy Flora, and learn about new policies such as the nine-week grading period and Common Core Standards as well as Family Link, a website where parents can look up their child’s school progress. Cookies, coffee and punch will be served at both schools.
Locally produced video addresses teen suicide Bandon Western World
COOS BAY — Local teens and parents form the cast of an emotionally gripping video about teen
suicide, created by a former pediatric nurse. “I’m Not OK” uses melancholy images of the Oregon Coast as a backdrop for its exploration of depression and despair, but
the video delivers a powerful message of hope. “I’ve done a lot of projects that were just for fun,” said the video’s creator, Steve Wilson of North Bend. “I wanted to make a

video that was meaningful.” The video targets teens who may contemplate suicide, as well as teens and adults who interact with depressed teens. Its message: “There’s hope. And there are people who care about you.” The 9-minute video is available on YouTube at http://bit.ly/1mgnPCn. A Spanish language version, “No Estoy OK,” is at http://bit.ly/XLXTTg. Schools, organizations and families are welcome to download the video and use it however they like – with one condition. “My only request is that they not edit the video,” Wilson said. The video teaches about the causes of teen depression and the warning signs of suicide. It explains that friends of a potentially suicidal teen should listen without judging, offer reassurance, make sure the teen isn’t left alone and notify a responsible adult. Wilson, 54, is a registered nurse who works with medical software at Bay Area Hospital. He previously worked in pediatrics, and before that he was a commercial photographer. He describes himself as a non-commercial videographer – more skilled than most amateurs, but unwilling to take money for his video projects. The community has plenty of professional videographers who need paying work, he explained. For the cast of “I’m Not OK,” Wilson recruited his adult friends and their teenage children, along with other teens he knew from his involvement in local theater. The actors don’t speak in the video but provide visual images to underscore the narrated message. Working with the adult and teen actors, Wilson discovered that a surprising number of them had personal experiences with suicidal or depressed teens.

Library democracy? Question 1: If the wishes, whims and fears of a single person are permitted to outweigh the wishes and needs of at least several dozens of legitimate library patrons who use wifi, then what has become of “democracy” here in Bandon? Question 2: Is it possible that the fearful person in question does not want to have any witnesses to his or her activities on the library premises? We are 29-year Bandon residents, taxpayers, and ever-grateful patrons and supporters of our beloved Bandon Public Library. P.S. It is reliably reported — from the horse's mouth, so to speak — that the Bandon Public Library will soon

Thank you, festival organizers I would like to thank Julie Miller, the Bandon Chamber of Commerce staff, volunteers and directors and Gina Dearth, the Port of Bandon staff and directors for their support and generosity in sponsoring the booth decorating competition at the Old Town Marketplace during this year’s Cranberry Festival. I am pleased the judges thought my interpretation of “Cranberry Round-up” expressed the theme well enough to award me the honor — and the wonderful prize. To say I was surprised to be chosen would be an understatement! Many hours are spent throughout the year and the week of the festival by Julie and Gina and all the volunteers to make each Cranberry Festival unique while maintaining the wonderful small-town traditions Bandon values so much. Thank you again — see you at Market! Jane Ujhazi Terra Nova Fine Art Jewelry Bandon
in multiple newspapers, on talk shows, etc. At present Coos County is a “General Law county,” with three elected commissioners. This means your commissioners can, with an “aye” vote of only two people, control the county funds, indebtedness, selling and buying of assets, increase their salaries, delegate their authority, etc. The only limit of their power over the county (not cities) is if there happens to be a specific Oregon Revised Statute regulating the issue. There are practically no checks and balances, or reviews, and very little required notification of their actions, before or after, to the citizens. With this complete power over county issues they have additionally put forth rules allowing themselves to vote on issues outside of standard Board of Commissioners meetings, plus set rules which deny citizens the right to ask questions or make comments on most issues. Coos County deserves and needs this nonpartisan “Voice of the Voters” Home Rule Charter (constitution) which gives the citizens control over major expenditures not included in the budget (remember $165,000 X 3 = almost a half a million dollars), county land use changes, selling and giving away your county assets, eetc. Regardless of your viewpoint, it gives all citizens the right to vote on these issues and more. Read this “Voice of the Voters” Home Rule Charter, then put it in writing! Vote yes on ballot measure 6-149! Jaye Bell Coquille

Vote yes on home rule charter Why do Coos County citizens need and deserve this “Voice Of The Voters” Home Rule Charter? This great nation was built on a Constitutional republic form of government. This means we were given a government where we elect our representatives and they have checks and balances. Our federal and state governments both have three parts to provide representation and checks and balances: a House and Senate, a president or governor, and the judiciary branch. Additionally we have federal and state constitutions which give rather specific guidelines and limits to the power of the government to dominate and control the citizens. Also there is generally some national and/or state coverage on TV, radio,
Home rule creates transparency Jon Barton provided an excellent overview. Americans for Responsive, Responsible Government (ARRRG), through petition process, placed on the ballot measure 6-149, the Home Rule Charter. Jon’s theme, the charter ties the hands of “hamstrung with requirements” government and restricts quick action. Jon is correct, the charter takes away the politicians rubber stamp, and does not allow a delegation of authority, such as a county administrator. I certainly agree with Jon. The commissioners will be severely restricted by having to disclose time spent on the job and expenses claimed, with detailed records open to the public. Four out of five agreed votes will be necessary to approve the agenda or stop it. And worst, commissioners can be held responsible and liable for not following the charter, and be fined. What is this world coming to? Of course, transparency issue just flies out the window, so many restrictions in requiring a public vote to move forward, government will slow to a crawl. Just think about what the public will have to vote on: Contracts, expenditures over $165,000, indebtedness exceeding $5,000, disposing of assets over $25,000, land use issues, urban renewal agency issues, enterprise zone consents, nuisances ordinance, change to veterans office location, elected officials salaries and cost of living, non-union. Yes gridlock and slow down could result. More restriction, documents provided to the public without cost, can’t participate in “green” organizations, and then, changing, modifying or repealing the charter — just as much time and work would have to go into that process as has now taken to put it on the ballot. Yes, I am agreeing with Jon. This charter is a restrictive, slowing down process. But creating transparency, resulting in accountability, liability and responsibility from our county government. And thus, involvement of the voters of Coos County is going to be required. Are you up to the task? Denny Powell Coos Bay

In Coos County, 1 in 10 adults has the disease and many more go undiagnosed. Despite the negative hype, diabetes is not a death sentence. In fact, much of today’s research indicates people can not only prevent and manage diabetes, but may even be able to reverse the disease entirely. Explore the simple strategies and newest developments for Type 2 diabetes offered free through OSU Extension Family & Community Health. This threehour session describes the characteristics and progression of the disease and outlines simple eating strategies that can help prevent or manage symptoms.

BANDON — The Rev. E.J. Niles will be teaching a five-week class on “Exploring Spiral Dynamics” at Unity of Bandon beginning Sunday, Sept. 28, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Spiral Dynamics is an evolutionary model that documents various eras in human history and the forces that were at work in society, according to the Rev. Robin Haruna of Unity of Bandon. “It has been described, as humankind's neverending journey. It shows a new way to understand how we have evolved, as societies, throughout history,” Haruna said. “The model also shows how these forces are reflected in the psychological development of individuals as different levels of consciousness emerge.” The class will introduce the various levels, examine how the levels
changed as life conditions change and how individuals can contribute to the continuing evolution of consciousness by becoming aware of their understanding of the Spiral at work in their individual lives. The class will be conducted using PowerPoint presentations and class discussion and is shared on a love offering basis. The Rev. Niles is an instructor at Unity Institute in Missouri and co-hosts the Unity Online Radio show, “Biblical Power for Your Life.” She was the much-beloved minister at Unity of Bandon from 1990-1993, according to Haruna. For more information about her work visit www.spiralpathways.org. For more information about the class and other activities at Unity of Bandon, call 541-347-4696 or visit www.unityofbandon.org. Unity of Bandon is located on U.S. Highway 101 South, 1 mile south of 11th Street in Bandon.

Unit will be permitted on the unit three days per week: Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Hunters can access the unit two hours before sunrise and remain up to one hour after sunset. “Bandon Marsh refuge is currently the only available public waterfowl hunting lands within the Coquille River watershed and provides hunters with an opportunity to harvest geese, ducks, and coots,” Lowe said. The portion of the Bandon Marsh refuge west of Highway 101 and outside of Bandon city limits will continue to be open for waterfowl hunting seven days a week during all authorized waterfowl seasons, excluding the early special September Canada goose season. Hunters will access lands west of Highway 101 by using the refuge’s paved public parking lot located on the west side of Riverside Drive. They may also
access the area by boat during higher tides from the Coquille River. Hunters should be aware that the southern onethird of this part of the refuge is closed to hunting because it falls within the city limits of Bandon. The southern boundary of the public hunting area is posted with “public hunting area” signs. State hunting license requirements apply for all waterfowl hunting on the Refuge. The 2014-2015 Oregon Game Bird Regulations for waterfowl hunting at be reviewed can www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/waterfowl. For more information or a map of the areas open to hunting, visit the Bandon Marsh Refuge website at www.fws.gov/oregoncoast/bandonmarsh/index.htm or call the Refuge at 541-867-4550.
People’s Choice favorite in the student division was this painting by Mikayla Mache.
The paintings will remain on display until the end of September, and anyone interested in purchasing one of the pieces may call the Port of Bandon at 541-3473206. Anyone wishing to see the show online may go to

tricts will be poring through an entirely new set of data, since students will take the Smarter Balanced assessments instead of OAKS this spring. That doesn’t mean this data isn’t important, said Christopher Mazzeo, Education Northwest Director of Evidence Use and Policy. “They matter as a snapshot of one data source about performance in the last year,” he said. “With a new test next year, it will take some time to fully understand. “It will be very hard to compare from previous years’ data on OAKS to Smarter Balanced and I would discourage people from trying. Eventually, we’ll have more Smarter Balanced data, so we can understand what that means.” Gov. John Kitzhaber and his supporting education agencies are laser-focused on his 40-40-20 goal. By 2025, Kitzhaber wants to see a 100-percent high school completion rate. Over the next 11 years, Oregon has a long way to go. During the 2012-13 school year, 69 percent graduated. The “40-40-20” breaks down into 40 percent finishing community college, 40 percent getting at least a bachelor’s degree, and 20 percent completing high school. “I don’t think it’s too lofty,” Mazzeo said. “I think it’s an important thing for the state to set out a target it tries to reach. The only way you meet big goals is to set the target.” To reach that goal, education officials are targeting several benchmarks as evidence of a student’s academic potential.
Third grade reading “Reading by third grade is one of the single greatest predictors of life-long success,” said Chief Education Officer Nancy Golden in a news release. This pivotal benchmark has led state education agencies, including the Oregon Education Investment Board and Early Learning Council, to focus their efforts on early childhood education programs. “We are proposing a comprehensive plan centered around literacy to ensure each of our youngest Oregonians has access to foundational learning opportunities from birth,” Golden said. “Through this statewide effort, we’ll invest early to stop gaps between students before they start and adopt an all hands on deck approach to catching students up to ensure they are reading on track by third grade.” Last year, 73 percent of Bandon thirdgraders passed OAKS reading, compared to 82 percent the year prior.
Fifth, eighth grade math, science But Bandon’s fifth- and eighthgraders are showing improvement in math and science: 85 percent of fifthgraders passed OAKS science last year and 67 percent of fifth-graders passed OAKS math. Also last year, 76 percent of eighth-graders passed OAKS science and 69 percent of eighth-graders passed OAKS math.
High school writing Bandon fell in the middle of the pack in terms of high school writing, aligning with nearly every single other South Coast school that saw a minimal increase in OAKS writing scores last year. Only Myrtle Point saw a decline: 65 percent passed in 2012-2013 and 44 percent passed in 2013-2014. High school writing was a sticking point for the state in last year’s results: Only 60 percent met the writing benchmark in 2012-13. That dropped one percentage point in 2013-14. In Bandon, 59 percent of its high school juniors passed OAKS writing last year. That’s a significant drop from the district’s peak of 75 percent passing in the 2011-12 school year. “Our writing scores do not match what we know our students are capable of,” Buche said. “We will continue to teach writing across the curriculum, as well as continue our focus on math and reading.”
High school science and math Science and math are a mixed bag on the South Coast. Nationwide, schools are trying to focus their efforts on the STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math), giving them extra support so they can succeed in these demanding fields after high school. Bandon’s scores turned around last year, inching upward, though highschoolers still fall in the bottom compared to other South Coast schools: 69 percent passed OAKS science and 69 percent passed OAKS math.

Keiser Bandon would be the next location for a links golf course, Bandon Dunes. According to the resort’s website, it was inspired by the oldest and perhaps most revered course in the world, Scotland’s St. Andrews golf course. Like in Scotland, players at Bandon Dunes would golf in Oregon’s coastal sand dunes, right on the edge of the ocean. A minimalist golf course, Bandon Dunes is far from the bright-green country club courses typically associated with the game. At first, some people in the community weren’t so crazy about the idea, said Matt Winkel, city manager of Bandon. “Most of the reaction early on was, ‘What kind of crazy guy is going to build a golf course in Bandon?’” Winkel said. Most of the opposition for the golf course stemmed from the belief that it would harm the landscape and environment, Winkel said. “In spite of its success and the contributions it has made to the local economy and the community in general, there are still some who feel that the property should have been left in its natural, undeveloped state,” Schamehorn said in an email. “Most of us do not share those feelings.” Still, plans for Bandon Dunes moved forward, and in June 1999, its first course opened. Two years later, in 2001, Keiser opened a second course, then a third in 2005, a fourth in 2010 and, lastly, its fifth in 2012. Accompanying the opening of these new courses were more accommodations, including four restaurants and 186 rooms for guests. Since it opened 15 years ago, Bandon Dunes has enjoyed considerable success in the realm of elite golf. Ranked as the No.1 golf resort in America by Golf Digest, it has hosted myriad mid-amateur and amateur tournaments. The weather helps as well. Although rainier and cooler during the winter, the city’s climate is hospitable to year-round golfing.
Economic impact Still, Bandon Dunes’ entrance into the community didn’t instantly jumpstart the city’s economy, Winkel said. In terms of resulting economic growth, the city hasn’t necessarily seen an “ah ha!” moment. “There hasn’t been a boom,” Winkel said. Players at the resort, which is several miles north of Bandon, don’t necessarily travel into the city to shop in antique stores. “Although many small businesses had hoped to see a greater benefit by being in a community adjacent to the resort, they have discovered that people (mostly men) come to the area to play golf,” Schamehorn said. “Of course, wives who accompany their husbands will often shop in the local stores while their husbands are on the courses, but that’s not the norm.” Instead, they tend to stay on-site, which is reasonable, Winkel said, because it is expensive to play. “Their purpose to come here is to play golf,” Winkel said. Julie Miller, executive director at Bandon Chamber of Commerce, echoed a similar train of thought. “They want to play those courses, and they want to get in as many as they possible can,” Miller said. Still, the biggest economic effect of the golf course on the city is clear — the number of jobs it created. According to a Planned Unit Development overlay district document, the golf resort boasts more than 475 fulltime employees, 125 part-time employees and 250 caddies, making Bandon Dunes the city’s largest employer.
Mosquito dropped off. Last month, workers applied Bti on foot to just over 100 acres. “There have been no major outbreaks of mosquitoes in the areas where they occurred last year on a general basis,” Straus said, other than a flyoff in May before Bti was applied and minor outbreaks along the Coquille River this summer. He cited dwindling attendance at his committee’s meetings as evidence that people are not having the problems they had last summer. But there’s no way to know for sure unless a monitoring program is implemented, he said. The committee proposed a mosquito abundance monitoring program, which would put 20 dry ice traps in the valley to capture mosquitoes and see how their numbers fluctuate from May to October. “The issue is, we don’t know if we have a problem,” he said. “If we had a series of data taken along the areas where change may occur — restoration, areas prone to a change of tidal flows — if we had that baseline set of data ... we could react more proactively than we did in the last case.” The county worked with VDCI this summer to start the Bti application process. The committee also got mosquito magnets that the city of Bandon

“The biggest impact has been in the number of jobs that it provides for Bandon residents and those living throughout Coos County,” Schamehorn said. “Not only do many of them live in Bandon, but they also shop locally.” Hank Hickox, general manager of Bandon Dunes, said the resort makes a special effort to hire people from the area. “Our first preference is to always hire locally,” Hickox said. Miller said the city has seen secondary businesses pop up to serve the resort’s needs. Specifically laundry and taxi service businesses have opened to cater to resort laundering needs and to shuttle back and forth from the area’s airport, Miller said. The city’s nicer restaurants have seen an “uptick in visitors,” Miller said, as golf players sometimes will make it a point to go into Bandon to eat dinner. And, by accepting Bandon Dunes into the community, Winkel said they have received unexpected amounts of generosity from the Keisers, who have funded scholarships and other philanthropic efforts. “Only recently, the city of Bandon received a check for $25,000 to go toward the purchase of a much-needed vehicle for the police chief,” Schamehorn said.
Putting Bandon on the map However, Bandon Dunes did something for the city that can’t be counted through jobs or revenue — it put Bandon on the map. “Bandon Dunes elevated our notoriety,” Miller said. Including the city’s name in the resort’s brand has brought an awareness to Bandon they would not otherwise have gotten, Winkel said. Now, people have heard of Bandon — and know where it is, Winkel said. “We benefit greatly from the nationwide publicity that the resort receives,” Schamehorn said. “We are so fortunate that Mr. Keiser chose to name the resort ‘Bandon Dunes,’ as golfers across the country now know where Bandon is located.”
Sand Valley The Sand Valley Golf Resort is presently under construction on a 1,400-acre site in Rome. The first course is expected to open in 2017. Sand Valley will feature walking trails and space for the public’s use. Plans to develop overnight accommodations and a special residential area consisting of a single-family homes also are in the works. If Sand Valley’s first course is a success, then Keiser and his team will consider adding subsequent golf courses, with a total of five courses possible. As for Winkel, he said he’s optimistic about Sand Valley’s chances for success. “If I was betting, I would bet that it would be absolutely positive for the community” Winkel said about Sand Valley.
More on Sand Valley This is part of an occasional Daily Tribune Media series about the planned development of a golf resort in the town of Rome. Upcoming installments include a tour of the site where the course will be built. Rome is a town in Adams County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 2,720 at the 2010 census. http://townofrome.com/ Reprinted by permission from the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune. Melanie Lawder can be reached at 715423-7200.

In addition, Commissioner John Sweet said USFWS plans to pick up where Magnus Pacific left off draining the marsh. The agency said Magnus Pacific dug more than 47,000 feet of new tidal channels so far. “Without the baseline data that would be generated by such a program it will be difficult to determine whether or not corrective measures underway and further wetland restoration in the valley, or anywhere else in Coos County, doesn’t curtail or results in the enhancement of mosquito abundance to a level of aggravated nuisance,” according to the committee’s proposal. Committee members estimate the initial cost of the traps to be $4,000, with a $1,000 annual cost of supplies. Dry ice traps have been used in San Mateo County in California.

Bandon gets volleyball win Bandon Western World
The Bandon volleyball team jumped into Sunset Conference play with very little practical match experience. Now the Tigers are 1-1 in league play and improving quickly heading into a match today at league newcomer Toledo. Bandon followed a strong showing in its own tournament over the weekend with a sweep of Gold Beach on Tuesday, beating the Panthers, 2523, 25-9, 25-20. Raelyn Freitag had 16 kills, nine digs and a block for the Tigers in the win. Kaylynn Pickett had 21 assists and eight aces and
exchange student Maria Nicieza Mendez de Andes had 14 digs and five aces. But the Tigers didn’t play up to their potential, coach Courtney Freitag said. “We played down to Gold Beach, so we struggled to get a flow going,” she said. “It was slow and painful at times. We didn’t have a lot of offense and we didn’t have a lot of defense. But it’s a win and I’ll always take that.” Bandon has made huge strides since opening the season with a three-set loss at Coquille. The turning point was at Myrtle Point, Freitag said.
The Bobcats won the match 25-15, 25-19, 25-10, but Bandon was competitive against a team that had played many more matches. “Our kids rose to the occasion,” Freitag said. “I was super stoked with how we played at Myrtle Point.” Raelyn Freitag had 12 kills and nine digs in the losing effort. Annmarie Pickett had 19 digs and Kaylynn Pickett had 19 assists and five digs. With the momentum of that match, Bandon reached the championship match in its home tournament.

Bandon High School freshman Sailor Hutton was women’s champion in the Prefontaine Memorial Run. Sailor finished the 10kilometer race in 40 minutes and 50 seconds, placing 22nd overall. She had a lot of company earning awards in the 35th-annual race Saturday. A total of 10 Bandon runners finished in the top three in their age groups. That included four members in her own family. Brent Hutton, Sailor’s dad and Bandon’s cross country coach, was fourth overall and first in the 40-44 age group, finishing in 35:44. Hunter Hutton, Sailor’s twin
brother, was the first high school finisher and 10th overall and won the boys 10-14 age group in 37:43. Beth Hutton, the twins’ grandma, was third in the 65-69 age group. Other Bandon agegroup winners were Aida Santoro in 15-19 division, Marilynn Hilderbrand in the 60-64 age group and Analise Miller in the 9and-under division. Runners who finished second were Josh Snyder, who was runner-up to Hunter Hutton in their division, and Jen Ells in the 35-39 age group. Duane Lindsay (55-59) was third in his division.

HL football team wins Bandon Western World
Harbor Lights dominated Riley Creek in a football game last week, winning 39-0. The Bandon team limited the Gold Beach squad
to negative yardage for the game, while forcing four turnovers — three fumbles and an interception. “Harbor Lights had a dominant defense,” coach Boe Pickett said.
Meanwhile, Harbor Lights had 360 yards of offense — 240 rushing and 120 passing. Harbor Lights played Myrtle Point th is week (results weren’t available by press time).

Tigers suffer first loss Bandon Western World
Bandon’s football team suffered its first loss of the season Friday night, falling to visiting Coquille 56-28. Now the Tigers have two weeks to put the lessons to use before starting Sunset Conference play. Bandon coach Silia Polamalu said there was a lot to like despite the loss. “We have mixed feelings about how we did Friday night,” he said. “On one hand, we are disappointed in the number of errors we had throughout the game, but we are very happy with the intensity in which we played.” That’s because after easy wins over two relatively weak opponents, Coquille was a quality foe and the Tigers played up to the Red Devils’ level. “They played their style of football: disci-
plined, hard-hitting and Polamalu physical,” said. “We showed up prepared for that kind of game. “They didn’t out-hit us and they weren’t dom-
inating us physically.” The difference in the game was mistakes, especially several costly turnovers.

He caught his fish casting a spinner from the shoreline. Floras Lake has produced some good trout fishing over the summer months when most lakes have been slow due to warm lake temperatures. Mike Grey from ODFW will be letting us know if any changes will occur with the trout stocking on Bradley Lake next week. Last year the trout were stocked in Empire Lakes instead because of the weed problem at Bradley Lake’s boat launch. Next week, Garrison Lake in Port Orford is scheduled to receive 200 trophy trout and 5,336 legal-size trout. Local rivers: A few fall Chinook are being caught in the Chetco River Estuary. Anglers are limited to bobber or

Volleyball The Tigers split their matches in their pool, sweeping Oakland 26-24, 25-22 and losing to Riddle 25-22, 26-24. Courtney Freitag said the Tigers had beaten Riddle in the Reedsport jamboree, so losing to the Irish was a surprise. But in the bracket, the Tigers faced the Irish again and won 25-16, 2511. “It was nice for the girls to bounce back from the loss in the pool,” Freitag said. Bandon then got its best

win of the season to date, beating North Douglas 1025, 25-23, 15-12. Freitag said it was similar to a match against Lakeview last year, when they also lost big in the first game and came back. The key to the success was the team’s relentless defense. The Tigers haven’t showed a consistent offense yet, but on the flip side, the team is scrappy defending opposing hitters. “Everybody will dive and run it down until we can’t get a ball anymore,”
Freitag said. And in the second game against North Douglas, the Tigers also improved their play at the net. “We got a couple blocks in the second game,” Freitag said. “It made them leery and they started tipping (rather than hitting). From the time they started tipping, it became our game.” The Tigers easily dug up the Warriors’ tips and Bandon won the match. “We were on a huge high,” Freitag said. Coquille won the
championship match 2513, 25-19, but that didn’t take away from the team’s progress. “It was a very collective team effort,” Freitag said of the day-long tournament. She’s excited to see how Bandon continues to develop. “The kids have potential,” she said. “They’re cool kids. They’re fun.” Next week, the Tigers host Waldport on Tuesday and defending league champion Reedsport on Thursday.
Bandon shut out Coquille in the first quarter and the game was tied late in the second quarter when the Tigers had two turnovers and the Red Devils capitalized on both of them. “They were most disciplined in their assignments, opportunistic as always, and were able to make us pay for several critical mistakes,” Polamalu said. “We made them fight for their yards and put them into some long down-and-distance situations. We like our chances on defense if we can make a team like Coquille throw the ball a lot.” That defense could serve the Tigers well when they get into the league season. Bandon will be battling with Myrtle Point, Gold Beach, Reedsport, Toledo and Waldport for three playoff spots. Polamalu also was thrilled with how his team’s younger players performed. “I thought our young players stepped up and played tough against Coquille, and that was my biggest concern heading into this season,” he said. The teams leaders also are starting to embrace their roles. Those were big positives in a game that can be a great learning experience. “Our biggest takeaway from this game is that we must eliminate our mistakes if we want to beat good teams,” Polamalu said. He continues to be pleased with the play of Quentin quarterback Coomer and the development of Bandon’s
■ from Page B1 passing attack. “He is getting a good command of the offense,” Polamalu said. “He and his receivers are getting their timing down good. The offensive line is coming together well, and when they come together as a group it will shore up our protection and get our running game going, too.” In Friday’s loss, Coomer went 26-for-48 for 310 yards and three touchdowns. He also had a rushing touchdown, but he threw two interceptions. Jacob Taylor had eight catches for 103 yards, Trae Dyer caught six passes for 57 yards and Shannon Forty had four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. On defense, freshman Sam Cutler led the way with 15 tackles. Dyer had 10 tackles, Ben Strain had seven tackles and Kohl Watson had six tackles and forced a fumble. Trenten Gagnon, who recovered the fumble, had five tackles. Bandon has a bye this week to get ready for next week’s league opener. “This week is giving us valuable time to work on things that need attention and giving our injuries time to heal before we start into league play,” Polamalu said. And the Tigers are looking forward to the five-game league season. “The team is excited about where we are right now,” Polamalu said. “We have had a lot of positive things highlight to through the first three games “The guys are feeling confident about where we are as a team and how they are playing individually.”
OREGON CATTLEMAN’S ASSOCIATION:
VEGETATION MONITORING METHODS TRAINING WORKSHOP
Are you a rancher who grazes livestock on lands that are also managed for the protection of wildlife habitat, riparian vegetation, or clean water? Then this workshop is for you! Due to Oregon’s intermingled patterns of public and private lands, the coordination of information is essential for sustainable grazing and protection of habitat and healthy pasture. The OCA has been awarded a grant for the Oregon Resources Monitoring Program; the primary goal of which is to develop a co-operative monitoring program between federal and state regulatory agencies and producers. The program is intended to provide a scientific sampling and analysis database that is affordable and useable for ranchers on their private property as well as permitted grazing use on federal land.
