BHS robotics team displays its ‘metal’

Bandon Western World

BANDON — The Oregon Resources Research and Education Center recently received funding in the amount of $14,760 from Wild Rivers Coast Alliance to conduct science-based field trials on the use of pyroligneous acid (wood vinegar) as an herbicide to combat gorse.

The field trials will be designed and coordinated by Frank Burris, Oregon State University faculty member and OSU Extension Service agent for southwest Oregon and will take place on the city of Bandon’s gorse-infested property on the east side of Harvard Street across from the Harvard Street Apartments, according to City Manager Matt Winkel.

Work is slated to begin this month.

According to information provided by the OSU Extension Service, pyroligneous acid is produced from plant material through a process called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is the thermochemical decomposition of carbon-based material. In an oxygen-free environment, the plant material is heated to tempera-

BANDON — A new class that involves programming, gaming and engineering all in one has a group of students at Bandon High School excited about technology.

And that’s just the point of the new and first-ever robotics class led by a teacher who’s also new to BHS, Martha Kemple.

The team has dubbed themselves the Cyber Syndicate.

Kemple, who was hired last summer to replace Bob Frazier, teaches

Hospital CEO experiences Southern Coos first hand

Bandon girl competing in county contest SOUTH COAST — Five teens and six young ladies will compete in the Miss Coos County and Miss Coos County Outstanding Teen contests next month for scholarships and the chance to compete for the title of Miss Oregon.

This year’s competition includes Bandon High School junior Kenzie Basey, who is competing for Miss Coos County Outstanding Teen. Kenzie’s parents are Sam and Kelley Basey of Bandon. Kenzie’s platform is “Autism Speaks” and her talent will be a pom

computers and technology at the high school, as well as the yearbook class.

Kemple had facilitated a robotics class in a previous position and knew she wanted to take it one step further at BHS. With the encouragement of Principal Sabrina Belletti, Kemple applied for and was awarded a $2,500 technology grant from the Oregon Department of Education to start the robotics team, which is an elective science and math class.

Team members include captain Adrian Sikorski, a senior; assistant captain Andy Yu, a freshman; and Drayton Jennings, Andrew Peters and

Seeing to the CEO Kimberly Russell, Southern Coos Hospital executive secretary, works with CEO Charles Johnston as registered nurse Debbie Allen provides nursing care.

BANDON — I have been in healthcare administration for more than 37 years and for the great majority of that time, I have served as a hospital Chief Executive Officer. So I have spent a good many years inside hospitals. But up until 2013, I have spent very little time really being “in” the hospital as a patient. I broke my leg last July, and again in November so when you total all the days, I have been a hospital patient for about six full weeks.

Using that many days of inpatient hospital services I now have a considerable amount of insight that I have never had before and I would like to share some of that experience with you.

Southern Coos Hospital obviously is a small rural hospital with a few more bells and whistles than most facilities our size.

However, I would estimate that SCH can provide more than 90 percent of all the services hospital patients require (excluding labor and delivery). I don’t see us ever doing open heart surgery or liver transplants at SCH — that’s a job for the big city hospitals. But, for every service we provide here, we want to be the best.

Here’s my assessment of SCH: Emergency room: Both times I injured my leg I was lucky in that I arrived at a time we were not that busy and got immediate care from the doctor

Cigarette tax increased Jan. 1 The Oregon Department of Revenue reminds smokers that the tax on cigarettes increased on Jan. 1.

Legislation that was enacted in a legislative session this fall increases the state tax on a 20-count pack of cigarettes by 13 cents: from $1.18 to $1.31.

Chris Wytoski, the manager of Oregon’s tobacco tax program said, “Usually, the consumer pays the tax

as part of the price when purchasing cigarettes from an Oregon retailer. Consumers must remember they are responsible for filing and paying the tax on cigarettes purchased online or otherwise brought in from outside the state.”

Oregon’s total tobacco tax revenue, from cigarettes and other tobacco products, is about $250 million per year. The revenue sup-

Government waste, fraud hotline is open SALEM — Secretary of State Kate Brown is reminding all Oregonians that they can report state government fraud, waste or abuse to the Oregon Government Waste Hotline.

Anyone can report with complete confidentiality any waste or misuse of state government resources.

“We are fortunate to have a state government that expects the best of its employees," said Brown.

“But when inappropriate of government use resources occurs, we need to put a stop to it.” by the Enacted Legislature, the hotline helps provide accountability by providing a secure way to express concerns about possibly inappropriate conduct. You can

call the Hotline at 1-800336-8218. Professional operators are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can also file a report online. The name of anyone who contacts the hotline will remain confidential by law.

Waste is defined as “conduct that causes unnecessary expenses or mismanagement of state resources.” Fraud involves misappropriation of funds and corruption. Abuse is the intentional, improper use of state resources or an employee’s position.

“I urge all Oregonians be on the lookout for fraud, waste or abuse in state government,” said Brown. “If you report it, I’ll make sure it gets investigated.”

Flu cases reported SOUTH COAST — Three cases of the swine flu have been confirmed in Coos County, the first time the virus has been reported here since the pandemic of 2009-2010.

Nikki Zogg, director of the public health department, said the swine flu isn’t necessarily worse than any other type of flu. But, like any flu strain, young people, elderly and those with compromised immune systems are more vulnerable to have severe sickness and even death in some cases, she said.

“Those who have been vaccinated are less likely to have severe illness,” Zogg said.

OPINION

A4 • Bandon Western World

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

— Martin Luther King Jr. American pastor, activist humanitarian and leader, 1929-1968

Thursday, January 16, 2014

Letters We must live as brothers A New Year, a time to celebrate the dreams we had, to question where we are now, to make resolutions. We can do this by looking through the eyes of our great leader we honor this month: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., born Jan. 15, 1929, in Atlanta; died April 1968 in Memphis. It is said that connecting to our past makes for a better future. Dr. King connects us from the ugly past of slavery to the racism of the present day. He compels us to read about our civil rights history and talk about it and most importantly to listen.

Quoting Dr. King, “We must all learn to live together as brothers. Or we will perish together as fools.” His lifelong dream, his quest.

He began public service when he was called upon to lead the yearlong Montgomery bus boycott. No African Americans rode the city buses. They walked to their jobs all over the city. In the rain, the wind, the cold, they walked for a whole year, until they won their fight and that news spread all over the country. It was the beginning of the Civil Rights movement taken with Dr. King as leader and many more brave supporters and prominent people in participation. It led to countless lynchings, bombings and other brutalities toward Negroes. It led to threats and intimidations and jailing of dissenters and demonstrators. And it led to many quiet, unsolved murders. And all with Martin Luther King’s insistence that all action on their part be nonviolent. The fight remained a non-violent, passive resistance on their part. And the anguish continued.

We celebrated Dr. King’s march on Washington and his “I Have a Dream” speech last year, marking its 50th anniversary. International television provided hours of footage, past and present. We had an opportunity to look at history and ask, now what do we do? I ask, how many of us took the time to watch and maybe be sure that our children are watching and listening? This march of multiracial supporters was followed in the next two years with congressional bills: The Civil Rights Act, 1964 and the Voting Rights Act, 1965.

As integration conditions improved in the South, Dr. King pursued his dream of equality and equal opportunity for all people of all colors. He headed north to help with a strike against low wages. He knew the poor were suffering all over the country: Low wages, inadequate housing and schools, hunger and hopelessness. He had a lot more to do. He was stopped April 4, 1968, with a bullet to his brain.

Racism is a thing of the past and we have tried hard to right the wrongs. But racism is a thing of the present, too. Often actions and words toward African Americans impact Hispanics and immigrants in general, and the poor, and the elderly living on a low, fixed income. This large group of Americans is experiencing today: Slash of food stamps, low minimum wage, school closures, cuts in unemployment insurance, suspended voting rights, stop and frisk laws, stand your ground gun laws and a totally broken criminal justice system, combined with the “War on Drugs.” And finally, with our advancing communication sites, we are experiencing more evidence of hateful thoughts toward an individual or group who is “Not One of Us.” Hateful and frightening.

But our media is also focusing on the tragic problem of incarceration. We have the highest prison rate in the world, racial disparity in drug arrests and it all costs a fortune! Michelle Alexander documented the frightening toll on the U.S. experienced by black and brown youth in her book, “The New Jim Crow; Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.” At least we are now talking about this blight and maybe looking at some solutions. We are slowly building on Dr. King’s dream. And we must give our young people dreams again.

A final nod to social media as it enables citizens to explore polarized ideas. For instance, this past year our country moved into a more relevant, current discussion over Santa Claus. In the past it was simply a question of his existence. This year we went deeper and questioned his color. Is Santa white or is he black? No one could answer with certainty although some tried. But there will always be another Christmas. And yes, we may solve this dilemma someday.

Mary Tewksbury Bandon

Our potential is much more After reading the letter to the editor by Frank Quinn regarding “Human Rights vs. Drone Warfare” on Dec. 19, I was inspired to think about warfare and the military. Outside of the horrors of war, of which there are many, I would think the cost of our military and the impact of that cost on our country would compel us to take a second look at why we have such a large military or even go to war in the first place.

Our annual military budget, including extra war

This means about 20-25 percent of the federal budget goes toward military expenditures. We spend as much money on military expenditures as the next 10 countries combined. Furthermore, we have approximately 700 military bases in 130 countries. (There are 195 countries in the world.)

I don’t know why we spend so much money on the military, how we got to this point, or why we have so many bases, but I do know that this is a huge amount of money. We have people in this country who want to cut money to education, health, social programs and other programs that help and empower our own people here at home. What about our crumbling infrastructure and environment? There are many ways some of this money could dramatically improve the lives of our citizens and country. Also, there is much conflict in Congress about lowering taxes to save money, but any talk about cutting military spending seems to be taboo.

We don’t need to have a military presence in so many countries. Putting our troops all over the world, invading countries and telling countries to do things our way seems more like empire building then building peace. We would not want other countries doing this to us. Why not decrease military spending and use a little diplomacy to get what we want? More energy put into diplomacy would make us a better global citizen, would give us more respect around the world, and would free up some of those billions of dollars to make life better for everyone.

“This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.” — Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Our potential is so much more!

Thank you for your generosity Neighbors and businesses contributed food and toys to the Bus Jam again this year. Almost 650 children received new toys and stocking stuffers for Christmas because of your generosity.

I want to take the time to thank all those who spent long hours separating thousands of toys and stocking stuffers. Thanks to our staff who gave their time freely, on a Saturday, making sure each parent received enough nice toys in hopes that each child would have a memorable Christmas.

It’s a lot of hard work setting the room up as if it was a big city toy store. They turned our conference room

into a Santa’s Wonderland. The staff did this so the folks would feel the joy of the season and not worry about financial hardships, if only for a while. The magic of Christmas is alive and well at the Newmark Center.

Thanks to all!

Affordable care works for her It’s official! The Affordable Care Act works for me.

I’m enrolled and my first payment has been received.

As a direct result of the ACA, my monthly premium is 41 percent less than what Blue Cross/Blue Shield wanted for the EXACT same coverage, same doctors, same everything. And, that is without any tax credits.

I’m one of the ones you’re hearing about who received a notice from BC/BS stating my personal policy was being canceled — because it did not meet the minimum coverage required by the ACA. I have no health issues and have not filed a claim of any kind during the entire time I’ve been insured under this policy.

I’d been a BC/BS personal policy holder since 2009 when my COBRA expired after I lost my job to downsizing. Over the last four years BC/BS increased my premium 38 percent and the only change in benefits, primarily, was the addition of an annual check-up beginning in 2011, as required by the ACA. BC/BS was more than happy to offer me a replacement policy at another 6 percent increase over what I have been paying them this past year with no change in benefits. If I had stayed with BC/BS, my insurance premium would have been 45 percent of my fixed income.

I went shopping at the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace website. There were hundreds of options — many providers, many types of networks, and many levels of coverage. I started at the website the second week in November and my coverage was effective January 1. I spoke with someone on the phone four times, and they answered questions and helped get my application processed.

People ask me all the time why I call Oregon my home when all of my family is in the Midwest. I tell them about how beautiful it is and about the friendliness of the people. To all my friends, especially those in Michigan and Texas, this is another reason I’m happy and proud to be an Oregonian. Oregon didn’t waste time trying to repeal or defund the ACA. They sat down and came up with a plan to make a health insurance marketplace work for people — and it does.

In and Around Bandon CoastWatch sponsors science talks in Bandon Two talks on shoreline science are scheduled for Bandon on Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Bandon Public Library, 1204 11th St., S.W. The events are sponsored by the CoastWatch volunteer program and are free and open to the public.

At 3 p.m., Danielle Asson will present a slide talk on some of the creatures that wash up on Oregon beaches.

Asson is a recent graduate of Oregon State University’s Marine Resource Management program, whose master’s thesis led to developing a new method for gathering data on “beached marine critters.”

She developed a protocol through which interested non-scientists can help to track the presence on the beach of a variety of animals, including sharks, sea turtles and squid and record the results. Her protocol, and background information about her project, can be found online at http://beachedmarinecritters.org/. She also has developed a smartphone app for the project.

Her slide talk will describe some of the “critters” that citizen scientists can track, as well as the purpose and goals of the project.

CoastWatch, a program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, plans to incorporate her “protocol” in its citizen science efforts.

At 5:30 p.m., Dr. Ralph Breitenstein will discuss the debris generated by the 2011 Japanese tsunami, more of which is expected to wash up on Oregon’s shores this winter and spring and may be accompanied by unwanted passengers and invasive species.

Breitenstein is a CoastWatcher and retired medical doctor who has been working as a highly skilled volunteer in the marine bioinvasions lab at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport the past five years.

He has been assisting scientists there on research projects concerning invasive species and compiled an inventory of marine algae and invertebrate species in Yaquina Bay. He has been teaming with HMSC researchers John Chapman and Jessica Miller in their project to identify invasive species, and non-native species in general, carried by debris from the tsunami.

Breitenstein will provide an overview of the 2011 tsunami and the general pattern of currents in the north Pacific. He will discuss the floating docks which washed up in Oregon and Washington, as well as the Japanese boats that have been found on our shore. He will describe the invasive species that have already been found and provide clues for those scouting for debris as to how to recognize suspected invaders and what to do about them.

Between the two talks, a casual celebration will be held marking CoastWatch’s 20th anniversary.

Refreshments will be served. This is an opportunity for the area’s many CoastWatch volunteers to meet with Fawn Custer, the program’s volunteer coordinator and Phillip Johnson, the program director, to ask questions and learn about CoastWatch’s plans to conduct more citizen science projects. The public is welcome to attend to learn about the program and its volunteer opportunities.

For more information,contact Custer at 541-270-0027.

In 1983, a group of talented musicians attending Arizona State University formed a musical ensemble whose artistic focus centered around the musical traditions of early New Orleans jazz. Now, more than 25 years later, the core members are still together and have expanded their musical palette to include over a halfcentury of jazz styles, from early New Orleans Dixieland and blues to Big Band swing and popular standards.

The Strutters have presented formal concerts, symphony pops performances and student outreach programs in 50 states, seven European countries, Canada and Mexico, in addition to their regular performances at California’s Disneyland. Their superb musicianship

and award-winning orchestrations have earned them national and international acclaim.

The ensemble brings to the stage an exciting, entertaining and educational show experience.

Johnston and staff. Every emergency room can get “swamped” at times where the number of patients needing care can be overwhelming.

While I was in the ER, I did observe more patients arriving and our staff buckled down to make sure everyone had as little wait time as possible.

We employ the nation’s largest Emergency Room physician group, EmCare, and the doctor on duty was both professional and friendly. Radiology took Xrays of my broken leg and they were very careful not to cause further pain. I did get to experience our new $100,000-plus X-ray unit in service and I was impressed with how quickly and efficiently it worked.

I feel we need to improve the configuration of our emergency room for more patient privacy and make our waiting area more accessible. These issues have been addressed in our recently approved five-year strategic plan, so sometime in the not too distant future we should see a better ER design.

Nursing care: We strive to deliver personal, professional care to treat every patient as an individual, not a number, and I found we hit the mark. I would put our nursing staff up against any other hospital, but can we be better?

Certainly! We are providing customer service training to all employees starting in January to make sure our patients are treated like the VIP’s they are. We will also be upgrading our electronic health record equipment in the next six months to make delivering healthcare easier for both the nursing staff and patient.

We are very selective about who we hire to work in our nursing department because in a small hospital, nurses have to be skilled in virtually every aspect of patient care. We have a new term at SCH, “patient centric,” which simply means everything we do should result in better patient care.

Ancillary services: Lab,

■ from Page A1 X-Ray, respiratory and other departments; same as above. While contact with these services may sometimes be inconvenient during your stay, they are medically necessary to get you well and our staff works to make it an easier, more pleasant experience.

Our people have had many years of experience and it shows.

Our lab had zero defects during its last survey.

Extremely few hospitals in the nation can claim that.

We also had zero hospital acquired infections. As a patient, you can rest easier knowing you won’t leave here with something you don’t want.

Our surgery and anesthesia crew are top notch in every way. We have a new surgeon, Dr. Henry Montana, who is working full time at SCH, and he has expanded our surgical capabilities significantly.

I have personally experienced our Swing Bed/skilled nursing service and can honestly say this is something that SCH does best. If you ever have to spend time recovering from an illness or injury, you should let your doctor know that you want to come to SCH where you will receive outstanding personal care and attention.

Our Environmental Services Department (housekeeping) makes an extra effort to keep the facility clean and to not interfere with the patient’s rest or medical needs. This contributes to our zero hospital acquired infection rate. Admissions and business office services are conveniently located and you will find many smiling faces ready to help.

Food service: Hospital meals by design can’t be the same kind of food you would order from a fancy restaurant mainly because your doctor wants you to eat healthy according to your medical condition.

That said, I found our meals to be excellent especially when compared with other hospitals. In the future, I would like to see us work on having a form

of room service where the patient can call directly to the kitchen staff and order their meals or something to snack on if they get hungry.

Facility: SCH was completed in 1999 and while it has been well maintained, there are a few improvements we need to make.

The design of our Emergency Room I have already mentioned.

Our patient rooms are comfortable but we would like to change the configuration to have all private rooms someday. The televisions in every room are virtually new and have a good picture, but I would like to see us get a wider array of programming in the future and a new nurse call system would help the staff be more efficient.

SCH has some of the most beautiful scenery on our campus and the grounds are well maintained. Outside our patient rooms, large pine trees and foliage provide a beautiful, peaceful setting. In addition to birds and small wildlife, we even have a few deer that occasionally graze and travel through the property just a few feet outside the patient room windows!

I suppose a few of you might read all this and think that my opinions are biased because I work at SCH, or that the staff may give me preferential treatment because I’m the CEO. I can only say I wrote this keeping those two things in mind and tried to be objective. As far as treatment goes, I observed our staff providing care to other patients during my many days in the hospital and I can truthfully say that everyone got the same “CEO treatment” that I did!

I’m very proud and honored to be part of the Southern Coos Hospital team and look forward to a bright future. Our slogan is “We’re here for life” and that means yours. We want you to have a great one!

— Charles Johnston is the CEO of Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center in Bandon.

Gorse grows abundantly in Bandon and is highly flammable, as witnessed by this wildfire last May off Rosa Road. A herbicide may help combat the weed.

Gorse

tures over 500 degrees Celsius and broken down into three fractions: An almost pure carbon solid (biochar), a heavy pyrolytic oil that can be burned similar to bunker fuel or heating oil and an acidic water fraction called pyroligneous acid — traditionally known as wood vinegar.

Wood vinegar has been used in Asia for centuries as a natural herbicide, fungicide and insecticide, displacing the use of synthetic chemicals, which can be dangerous to humans, wildlife and plant populations.

The study will deter-

mine if gorse (Ulex europaeus) is killed by application of wood vinegar, what concentration of wood vinegar results in the most reliable gorse mortality and whether gorse is more susceptible to foliar application or stem application immediately following cutting.

The subject field will be divided up into 18 10foot by 25-foot blocks separated by 8 feet of ground mowed with a flail-type brush hog.

Treatments will include various concentrations and methods for applying the wood vinegar.

Only a single applica-

Robotics putting the final touches on the unnamed robot which they they built from a kit.

“Most of this is student-led,” Kemple said.

“I’m considered a mentor or coach and I’ll step in when needed. It’s a great opportunity for them to experiment with technology.”

Each student has a specific role, but they all work together well. Andy has the programming knowledge to write the code for the robot. Adrian admits he’s more excited about the engineering.

“We try to balance out the responsibilities, but I really like building the most,” Adrian said.

The kit comes with directions and examples of programs to make the robot respond to commands, with room for variation. The team prepared by watching videos and trying out the sample programs.

“They give you instructions on how to build it and they have sample programs, but

tion of wood vinegar will be made for each treatment, followed by an assessment of control and mortality of the gorse during the following growing season.

There also is the possibility of a collaborative being assembled where the gorse “harvested” by ranchers and farmers in their eradication activities is used as feedstock for a pyrolysis operation.

“This communitybased collaboration could produce marketable biochar and wood vinegar, offsetting some if not all of the costs of gorse control,” Winkel said.

■ from Page A1 those are super basic, like making it move forward,” Andy said. “But if you study it for a while you get the idea of how it works so you can do other things.”

In competition, all the robots must accomplish specific tasks. Andy programmed the robot to work with a joy stick game controller. The challenge was to make the robot open and close its arms, move cubes into a box, raise a flag and spin it and do a pull up with its articulating arm.

A robotics competition may not sound fastpaced, but each team has a “pit crew” and a limited amount of time to fix any problems that arise — including damage from other robots.

The team gave a demonstration at the School Board meeting Monday night, after placing ninth at the OMSI FIRST competition. Board members were delighted when the robot successfully completed a pull-up (see www.thevideo, worldlink.com/bandon).

Team members told of how they had to perform a quick-fix of the robot after another robot rolled over it.

Drayton said he’s enjoyed getting to know other team members and he especially liked putting the robot together.

“It’s kind of like working on cars in the shop with my dad,” he said.

Max said he’s learned more about computer programming and that “making an arm out of nuts and gears is really hard, but doable.”

“I’ve enjoyed the amount of freedom you have with the entire kit,” said Adrian, who plans to study computer science in college next year. “It’s exactly like Legos and I really enjoyed Legos as a kid. It’s fun knowing you can build anything, you just need to engineer it.”

Kemple hopes to double the class size next semester, which begins later this month.

“It gives the kids another option,” she said.

“I’m just excited about the whole opportunity.”

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the undersigned Trustee elects to foreclose the following Deed of Trust by advertisement and sale proceedings and to sell the property covered by the Deed of Trust to satisfy the obligations secured thereby: Deed of Trust dated April 23, 2009, given by Douglas E. Gray and D. Diane Gray as Grantor to First American Title Insurance Company as Trustee for the benefit of Umpqua Bank and recorded in the official records of Coos County, Oregon, on April 28, 2009, as Document No. 20093896.

The present Beneficiary, Umpqua Bank, has appointed Ky Fullerton, an active member of the Oregon State Bar, as successor Trustee. The successor Trustee’s mailing address is: MC 030-12-LEGL, 1 S.W. Columbia Street, Suite 1200, Portland, Oregon 97258.

The following property is covered by the Deed of Trust: A parcel of land situated in the NW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 21, Township 27 South,

Range 13 West of the Willamette Meridian, Coos County, Oregon, particularly described as follows: Beginning at an iron rod post which is 366.95 feet West and 519.5 feet North of the Southeast corner of said NW 1/4 of the SE 1/4; thence along the East boundary of the State Highway along a curve, the long chord of which bears North 40 ° 5 4’ West 75.2 feet to an iron rod post; thence North 22 ° 19 ‘ East 93.9 feet to an iron rod post; thence North 32 ° 54’ East 48.4 feet to an iron rod post; thence South 69 ° 48 ‘ East 37.5 feet to an iron rod post; thence South 15 ° 33’ West 177.3 feet to the place of beginning.

The Beneficiary has directed the Trustee to foreclose the Deed of Trust as a result of the following default(s): Grantor’s failure to comply with the terms of the various agreements relating to Grantor’s loan(s) with Umpqua Bank, including but not limited to Grantor’s failure to pay all sums due Umpqua Bank in connection with said loan(s).

The Beneficiary has declared the entire unpaid balance of all obligations secured by the Deed of Trust immediately due, owing, and payable, in the sum of $46,172.96 with interest at the applicable rate until paid, together with all costs, fees, future advances by the Beneficiary to protect its security interest, and other expenses allowed by law.

THE TRUSTEE WILL SELL THE DESCRIBED PROPERTY to satisfy the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust on March 27, 2014, at the hour of 1:00 p.m. based on the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, at the main entrance to the Coos County Courthouse, 250 N. Baxter Street, Coquille, Oregon, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash. The Grantor, the Grantor’s successor in interest to all or any part of the trust property, any Beneficiary under a subordinate trust deed, or any person having a subordinate lien or encumbrance of record on the property may cure the default or defaults at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the Trustee’s sale and thereby have the proceeding dismissed and the Deed of Trust reinstated pursuant to ORS 86.753. If the default consists of a failure to pay, when due, sums secured by the Deed of Trust, the default may be cured by paying the entire amount due at the time of cure under the terms of the obligations, other than such portion as would not then be due had no default occurred. Any other default of the Deed of Trust obligation that is capable of being cured may be cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or Deed of Trust. In any case, and in addition to paying the sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default(s), the person effecting the cure shall pay the Beneficiary all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and Trust Deed, together with the Trustee’s and attorney fees as al-

lowed by law.

The undersigned Trustee certifies that, upon recording of this Notice, no assignments of the Deed of Trust have been made by the Trustee or by the Beneficiary; no appointments of a successor Trustee have been made except as recorded in the official records of the county or counties in which the above-described real property is situated; the Beneficiary is the owner and holder of the obligations secured by said Deed of Trust; and no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by said Deed of Trust, or if such action has been instituted, the action has been dismissed.

Whenever the context of this Notice so requires, the word “Grantor” includes any successor in interest to the Grantor as well as each and every person owing an obligation secured by the Deed of Trust; the word “Trustee” includes any successor Trustee; and the word “Beneficiary” includes any successor in interest of the original Beneficiary named above.

Bandon boys beat Red Devils

By John Gunther Bandon Western World

BANDON — A great preseason for Bandon’s boys basketball team gave the Tigers a lofty spot (No. 6) in the OSAA power rankings for Class 3A and a couple of signature wins — at home over North Bend and at defending Class 2A state champion Oakland.

But the Tigers will look at Tuesday’s 52-51 win over Coquille as the real big one for the club.

“Coquille is such a big rival,” said Bandon senior Jon Wilhite.

“It’s a huge win. We went out and battled and played hard.”

Bandon coach Ken Nice had pointed out that even though the Tigers had a great preseason, they hadn’t gotten over the mental hump against Coquille. Until Tuesday, none of the current Tigers had ever beaten the Red Devils at

any level outside of summer ball.

“It feels great — playing at home, beating Coquille in front of our fans, getting a leg up for the state playoffs,” Wilhite said.

Bandon is battling Coquille and Glide for two spots in the Class 3A playoffs. The Tigers play both teams three times, but two of those three games against each foe come on Bandon’s home floor.

Glide pays its first visit to Bandon on Friday, and a win would get the Tigers halfway to not just reaching the playoffs, but also taking the league’s top seed, which would mean a home game in the playoffs as long as Bandon finishes in the top 16 of the power rankings.

In Tuesday’s win, Bandon got a huge game from Evan Henson.

The 6-foot-7-inch post is showing the benefit of having lost 30 pounds from his frame and improved his ball skills, and had 20

points, eight rebounds, five blocks and three steals against the Red Devils.

He scored 14 of his points in the second half, including hitting eight of his nine free throws to turn the tide in Bandon’s favor.

“We didn’t really play to the best of our abilities,” Henson said.

But the Tigers did finish strong, taking advantage of Henson’s height inside.

“Once I start feeling it, that’s definitely our game plan,” Henson said.

Quentin Coomer added 11 points and Tristian Davidson nine.

Bandon only won one game last year, but all the players returned.

The team made great strides in the summer, and now has that big regular-season win.

“I’m really proud of our team and how we came together,” Wilhite said.

The scoreboard showed Bandon’s girls lost to Coquille 57-25 on Tuesday, but the Tigers also got great news in the game: the return of Hailey Iverson.

The senior played her first game of the season after recovering from a summer knee injury.

“I’m excited, but so frustrated with how I played,” said Iverson, who had four points, but also several steals and rebounds in the loss.

Her two fourth-quar-

ter hoops gave her confidence heading into Friday’s home game against Glide.

The Red Devils overwhelmed the Tigers with their pressure defense, but Iverson said Bandon’s own defense is improving and she sees great improvement in the team.

“I feel like we can be competitive,” she said. “I still feel the pieces are coming together.”

Raelyn Freitag and Liza Skeie had six points each for Bandon in the loss for the Tigers, who are 0-2 in the hybrid Sunset Conference.

Father and daughter Brent and Sailor Hutton were the individual titles in the annual Bullards Run last weekend.

Brent Hutton, Bandon’s high school cross country coach, covered the 10-kilometer course from the Bullards Beach State Park campground to the Coquille River Lighthouse and back in 35 minutes and 57 seconds.

Hutton was followed

by Eric Utz (40:25) and Jerry Roberts (43:42).

Sailor Hutton finished in 43:10 and was third overall and first among female finishers. She was followed by Kaitlin Tichota (51:08) and Nina Rudd (51:16).

Bradley Pigage won the 5-kilometer race in a speedy time of 16:17.

Hunter Hutton, Sailor’s twin brother, was second in 17:34, followed by Brant Hamner (20:42).

Holly Hutton, the younger sister of the twins, was first among female finishers in 26:12, followed

by Kay Collins (26:29) and Linda Maxon (26:45).

Jayce Haagen (7:44) and Roxy Day (8:46) were the winners of the

Southern lakes are good spots for holdover cutthroat trout Local lakes: Garrison, Floras and Bradley lakes are good choices for anglers looking to catch holdover cutthroat and rainbow trout. Even though cutthroat fishing is closed in most South Coast rivers and streams, once they enter a lake they can be kept as part of your five-fish limit.

The Floras Lake outlet is a good place for bank anglers to catch a native cutthroat or an occasional winter steelhead entering the lake from New River.

Last weekend’s rain should warm up lake temperatures a bit and hopefully put the trout on the bite this weekend.

Local rivers: Scott from the Chetco Outdoor Store described the winter steelhead fishing on the Chetco River after last weekend’s rain as wide open.

Both drift boaters and bank anglers were catching plenty of fish as the river dropped into perfect condition Monday.
