BANDON — A historic building is getting some important refurbishing thanks to a cooperative funding effort by the Port of Bandon.

The former Coast Guard building on First Street, built in 1939 to house U.S. Coast Guard crews and officers and where the port’s offices and shop are located, will have 10 windows replaced in the first phase of the project. The $24,090 cost is

BANDON — Local artist Vicki Affatati is at it again, proving that not only can public art change landscapes, but lives as well.

Affatati and students from Bandon High School and Harbor Lights Middle School will create more murals to beautify Bandon this year.

Affatati, who has taught art for 20 years, is the artist who refurbished the Jack Champayne murals on the city’s circular wastewater treatment plant and on the side of the Savoy Theatre in Port Orford. Her most recent Bandon mural was a historic depiction of Old Town commissioned by the Port of Bandon on the side of the former fisheries building along First Street.

The always-busy Affatati has never been one to create her art in a bubble.

Rather, she has included students in many of her projects and delights in teaching them the basics, from idea to completion.

The latest project is a cooperative as well — a 400-square-foot mural designed by Felina Schmitz, a BHS sophomore, with the theme of Face Rock and detailed images of 12 local native plants that will be created at the high school then secured to the side of the building that now houses Bandon Community Health Center along U.S. Highway 101.

The mural will serve a double-purpose. Affatati, working as an artist-inresidence under the direction of BHS art teacher Jen Ells, will teach students the hands-on art of mural painting and the mural itself will creatively advertise the BHS native plant greenhouse project, Go Native.

Go Native, inspired and run by Darcy Grahek, is a student-run native plant nursery that functions as a multi-curriculum, hands-on learning lab for students at the high school.

BHS students will assist Affatati in painting the Go Native mural. As preparation, students will paint a moveable mural to be used as presentation materials about Go Native that can be used at meetings, educational lectures and county fairs.

“The amazing part of the Go Native project is that it reaches so many different classrooms within BHS,” said Affatati. “The leadership class is responsible for research and advertising, the community arts class the logo and graphics, the science classrooms a catalog of local natives, photography students document, and the art depart-

BANDON — Feeding Bandon residents is everybody’s business. In a Community Food Conversation facilitated by Spencer Masterson for Oregon Food Bank on Feb. 26, volunteers, public officials and business owners talked about our local food system.

The conversation was part of an ongoing assessment by the Oregon Food Bank with local support from the South Coast Development Council and Wild Rivers Coast Alliance. Food assessments in rural Oregon communities are designed to evaluate root causes of hunger and develop solutions, explained Masterson.

The Bandon Food Conversation was held at the Bandon Community Center.

With 25 participants, the Bandon event was the best attended of the Coos County conversations to date. Among those present were several members of Good Neighbors; Port of Bandon staff with Commissioner Rick Goche, who is also owner of the Sacred Sea albacore company; City Manager Matt Winkel

Changing lives with art

By Geneva Miller

SOUTH COAST — Thousands of Oregonians are needed from across the state to celebrate nearly three decades of spring beach cleanups from 10 a.m.1 p.m. Saturday, March 22.

In Bandon, those interested can check in at the City Park gazebo that morning to receive a bag and a beach assignment. Remember to bring gloves and dress warmly.

Since 1986, this home-grown tradition of twice-yearly beach cleanups has benefited people and wildlife alike, supporting clean seas and healthy communities for present and future generations, according to a press release.

SOLVE encourages volunteers of all ages to join in the effort of clearing the entire Oregon Coast of litter and marine debris that has washed ashore from winter storms.

Last spring, more than 4,100 volunteers removed an estimated 54,937

being funded equally by an $8,310 grant from the Kinsman Foundation, an $8,310 grant from the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office and $8,310 from the Port of Bandon.

Nine of the 10 windows being replaced are located on the third floor of the building and one is on the second floor. The windows have been removed and are boarded up while Christopher Gustafson of Vintage Window Restoration of Albany

BHS students do well at VISIONS

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — A Bandon High School junior placed first and several others also received ribbons in the VISION 2014 art show, now on display at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay. VISION 2014 is the Southwestern Oregon Community College Foundation’s art competition for high school students of Southern Oregon.

Paige Smith was awarded first place for a micrography pen drawing titled “Twiggy.” Smith received a two-year tuition waiver to attend Southwestern along with a $100 cash-purchase award.

Hailey Iverson won third place for grade 12 with a ceramic sculpture “Wisdom Listens.”

Dayle Bivens won second place for grade 10 with a pen drawing titled “Flora Segunda.”

Eleanor Winston won fourth place for grade 9 with a pen drawing titled “Hypothetical Signature.”

Other students selected to show include Sam Dow, Felina Schmitz, Billie Ray Ward, Kenzie Basey and Aida Santoro.

“For the VISIONS show, each school is allowed to enter 10 pieces.

I had 15 that I wanted to bring, so cutting it to 10 was tough,” said BHS art teacher Jen Ells. “I am proud of my students, and all 10 pieces could have won something, in my eyes. Paige is one of my ceramic students, but she is so curious and willing to try something new so she joined the drawing students for the micrography assignment (using words to create pictures and values). She worked for hours learning proportions and practiced with several pens to get the letters to fill in the correct values. It is a fussy sort of assignment and she had great attention to each detail. I hope she keeps drawing!

“Hailey built the ceramic owl over the course of a few months. It is so professional looking I was worried the judges

I think she could sculpt anything out of clay, with as much realism as she wants. She draws and paints really well, too.

“Dayle Bivens and Eleanor Winston were both recognized for creative, imaginative pen drawings. I really appreciate these pieces because I don’t draw from my imagination that well. Dayle illustrated part of a book called ‘Flora Segunda’ and you just have to see this drawing up close. The precise detail is stunning.”

Ells said she has several students who draw all the time, not just for assignments, but because they have ideas and they want to practice lines and values, faces and expressions and textures.

“It is a great honor to be a teacher with kids like that!” Ells said.

The BHS student art show will be held in May at the school and Bandon residents will have a chance to see all the winning pieces, along with many others by BHS students. The show dates and times will be announced in the Bandon Western World and Coffee Break.

Erika Spetzler, a Brookings-Harbor High School junior, took home

the Best of Show award at VISION 2014. Spetzler’s submission, a mixed media collage titled “Fast Food,” won her a two-year tuition waiver to attend Southwestern along with a $250 cash-purchase award.

Karissa Henshaw, a Senior from Myrtle Point High School High School, took home the second place award for her acrylic painting entitled “Washful Night.” Henshaw received a $75 cash-purchase award along with a two-year tuition waiver to attend Southwestern.

Seventeen other cash prizes ranging from $50 to $20 were awarded to grade division winners, grades ninth through 12th.

Three Bandon High School Speech Team members qualified to represent BHS and Southern Oregon at the National Forensic League National Tournament in Overland Park, Kans., June 15 through 20.

Senior Jeneveve Winchell and sophomore Autumn Moss Strong won first in Dual Interpretation with “The Unknown Part of the Ocean” and senior Stephanie Gordon won first place in Dramatic Interpretation with “Ronald Reagan Hates Your Ugly Mother” at the Southern Oregon national qualifying tournament, held at the University of Oregon in Eugene last weekend.

Coach Ellen Howard said it is the first time in the history of the BHS Speech Team that a sophomore has qualified for the national tournament.

In addition, this is Gordon’s second year qualifying for nationals.

First runners-up in Humorous Interpretation were juniors Leo McGeehon and Trenten Gagnon with “Spaceballs.”

Third runners-up in Humorous Interpretation were sophomores Emily Wilson and Max with Underdown “Adaptation.”

In the 15 years of a competitive speech team at Bandon High School, BHS has qualified speakers to the national tournament 10 years; eight in Dramatic Interpretation, four in Humorous Interpretation, six teams of Dual Interpretation, plus one in Lincoln Douglas Debate, Howard said.

National Forensic League national qualifiers in Dramatic Interpretation: 2001, Julia Braun; 2004, Alyson Powell; 2007, Dylan DoVale; 2008, Madison Long; 2009, Corinna Warner; 2013, Stephanie Gordon and Tyler Wiprud; 2014, Stephanie Gordon.

To attend the national tournament, students must place among the top competitors at one of the NFL’s 106 district tournaments. Some 3,200 qualifiers compete for more than $200,000 in college scholarships.

The National Forensic League (National Speech and Debate League) is a notfor-profit honor society created to promote and support high school speech and debate, representing more than 2,800 high schools, and nearly 100 middle schools, which are currently building their communication, leadership, cognitive and presentational skills as members. Since 1925, more than 1.3 million students have found their voice in the NFL. Research has proven that speech and debate education is an irreplaceable and life-changing experience for everyone who participates.

Forensics increases standardized test scores, improves graduation and retention rates, and boosts critical thinking and communication skills.

Bandon will host the OSAA District 6 speech tournament on Saturday, April 12. The OSAA state tournament will be held at Western Oregon University April 24-26.

“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed. Everything else is public relations..”

— George Orwell English author, journalist and critic, 1903-1950 Thursday, March 20, 2014

Letters Sign will detract from Bandon To those who chose the location of the proposed readerboard: After seeing the photo of the readerboard in the Bandon Western World newspaper, as a citizen of Bandon, I strongly object to the location selected for the readerboard.

People come to Bandon because of the quaint simplicity of small town coastal life.

I am not against the readerboard. However, I would like to see it placed in a different location, perhaps at the edge of city limits coming into town or across from the shopping center.

To place the electronic board over the Bandon sign will really look tacky. Our Welcome to Bandon sign looks country coastal, whereas the readerboard is uptown city. Do we really want our small coastal town to look like it’s trying to be a modern electronic city?

Those who approve of the signs going up in Bandon have consistently tried to keep signs for businesses in compliance with the quaint look of our town. Now you want to put up a sign over the Welcome to Bandon sign that will detract from the beauty of the existing sign.

Please reconsider and find another location for this electronic sign.

A Bandon resident.

Great service at BCHC I just changed medical centers and I now go to Bandon Community Health Center. I want to say how nice the change has been. Everyone was great to work with, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They listened and cared.

The next time I need labs, they can do it right there.

But if I want to go down the street to the hospital that was fine with them, too.

I am glad I made the change to Bandon Community Health Center, I would urge others to at least see what other options there are locally. You just might be pleasantly surprised like I was.

Art show sponsors thanked On Friday, March 7, Coos Art Museum opened two new exhibitions; the Biennial Student Art Exhibit and the VISION High School Art Competition.

Six hundred forty-two visitors came to view the exhibitions on opening day. These exhibitions feature the art of South Coast children and teens and would not be possible without the generous support of our three student exhibition funders; Coquille Tribal Community Fund, Coos County Cultural Coalition, Autzen Foundation and the sponsor of VISION, Oregon Community College Southwestern Foundation.

These funders allow us to open the museum through April 12 without charging admission fees. Their gift to the community provides a great opportunity for everyone to enjoy the museum. The art works produced by our area youth are beautiful, creative and inspiring.

Thanks to the exhibition funders, there is no better time to visit your museum.

In and Around Bandon Travel Night features Denali National Park

‘Love At First Sight’ show call for entries

Travel Night will be held at 7 p.m., Monday, March 24, at the Bandon Public Library, 1204 11th St. SW in City Park.

This month’s adventure will be to Denali National Park with Bandon resident Dulce Havill. Denali is located in interior Alaska and contains Mount McKinley, the highest point in North America. At six million acres, the park is larger than Massachusetts.

Havill lived on the boundary of Denali for 30 years and will be a guide through the park. She will show its expansive landscape and animals and describe the history and subarctic ecosystem that make up this unique land, one of the world’s last great frontiers.

Everyone is welcome, there is no cost to attend this program and refreshments will be served.

Travel Night is sponsored by the Bandon Library Friends and Foundation.

Have you taken a trip that you would like to share with an appreciative audience? To sign up or to just learn more, contact Marilyn Noorda at 541-347-4757.

Artists are invited to submit works for a spring show at the Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center. Work can be in any media but must be “wall art.” The theme “Love At First Sight” can be love of people, animals, places or things. Paint what you love!

The work must be brought to the hospital at 9 a.m.

Wednesday April 9, and the show will open with a reception from 1-3 p.m. Sunday, April 13. The show will be up through June 30.

For more information, email Victoria Tierney at canteringzebra@gmail.com or Susan Lehman at susan@susanlehmanartist.com.

March show at Bandon library The March art show at the Bandon Public Library features “A Coastal Journey,” the photography of Suzy Piatt in the hall and the art objects of Ted and Elaine Owen in the glass cases.

An artists’ reception will be held from 6-8 p.m.

Saturday, March 22. The public is welcome and refreshments will be served. The show will remain up through March 31.

Suzy Piatt is a native Oregonian who moved to the Pacific Northwest Coast soon after high school, fell in love with it and never left. She has been involved with photography for the past four years, especially enjoying landscapes, flowers, boats and macros.

Ted Owen is an engraver and a drummer. Elaine Owen is a nurse and an artist. They retired in 1997 and moved from California to Port Orford. Ted does etchings on tree fungi and gourds. He also fashions bowls out of driftwood. Elaine weaves baskets out of seaweed. She is also a painter and fiber artist.

New Artists presents an Old West comedy “Wagon Wheels-a-Rollin’,” a rootin’ tootin’ comedy spoof of the Old West, presented by New Artists Productions, will take the Sprague Community Theater stage for a two-weekend run beginning March 28. The comedy, written by Tim Kelly, features 36 young actors from the New Artists program.

This fast-paced comedy is filled with a goofy stable of hilarious characters who not only tell the story, but also keep the audience in stitches, according to a press release. The trailblazin’ hero, the sweet heroine and the villainous crooked card dealer keep the audience riveted to the action.

A wagon train breaks down at Whistling Skull Rock, outside the tiny town of Vinegar Bottle (famed for its “I’m O.K. You’re O.K. Corral”). The wagon train promptly gets robbed by a mysterious outlaw and bandits.

Through a crazy twist in the plot, the hero is accused of being the offender. Proving his innocence isn’t easy — but it is a hoot!

A host of other characters add extra spice to this wild romp. Toss in an election for the town mayor, an old Spanish land grant and some Western entertainment, the evening at the theater will be full.

“Dan and I are having such a great time with this play — all of the kids are drawing from their natural abilities to develop new skills as they bring their characters to life,” said Anita Almich, who with her husband Dan founded New Artists Productions.

Show dates are March 28, 29 and 30; and April 4, 5 and 6. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m.; Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets, priced at $10 adults, $8 seniors, $5 students (K-12), are available at Bandon True Value Hardware 541-347-2506, at the door prior to each show or by reservation with the Almichs at 541347-2517.

Treasure Seekers sale at BPCS If you love finding “treasures” at yard sales, then this is a treasure-seekers sale that you don’t want to miss!

COMMUNITY Gray whales return to northern waters Gray whales will return up the coast next week.

March 22-29, Spring Whale Watch Week, marks the gray whales’ spring migration north.

Gray whale numbers usually peak around the last week in March.

Nearly 160 gray whales pass along the coast each day and whale watchers can see their 12-foot blow — or spout — from the shore. Trained volunteers will be at 24 Whale Watching Spoken Here sites along the coast from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. every day to answer questions and share whale-spotting tips.

Every spring, 18,000 gray whales head from their breeding grounds on Mexico’s Baja coast to their summer feeding grounds in the Bering and

Chukchi seas.

Binoculars and rain gear are helpful at the whale watching viewpoints. This time of year, most whales can be seen 1-3 miles off the coast.

Occasionally, whales will look for food or an early mother and calf will swim close to shore.

Oregon State Park rangers and volunteers will also be at the Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay 10 a.m-4 p.m. each day of the watch week.

The Oregon State University Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport offers daily programs, including 30minute whale skeleton tours and marine mammal presentations.

For more information, visit www.whalespoken.org.

Snowy plovers begin nesting The nesting season of the western snowy plover, a small shorebird native to the Oregon coast, has begun.

Beachgoers will see signs and ropes identifying sensitive western snowy plover nesting areas, and visitors will need to adhere to any restrictions in effect.

The bird is protected under state law and under the federal Endangered Species Act. In Oregon, several land managers oversee beach activity for plover protection, particularly the U. S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

Plover nesting activity is typically concentrated along central and South Coast beaches. Detailed maps can be found at bit.ly/wsplover.

Dry and wet sand restrictions will be in effect at Sutton/Baker Beach, on the beach from Siltcoos Estuary to Tahkenitch Estuary and from just south of the Douglas–Coos county line south to Tenmile Estuary (northern Coos County), the North

Spit of Coos Bay, Bandon State Natural Area, and New River area beaches.

This year,“no dogs”and “no kites” restrictions are being implemented on about 2.35 miles of sandy beach at Tahkenitch South, an area adjacent to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The restrictions begin approximately 0.8 miles north of the Sparrow Park Road beach access. The area remains closed to vehicles.

Plovers nest in dry open sand, in tiny, shallow scrapes that are very well camouflaged. Not only are nests easy to miss (or step on), but the bird will abandon its eggs if repeatedly disturbed. On beaches where plovers nest, people can still walk along the wet sand portion of the beach, but some recreation is curtailed.

Dogs are not allowed, leashed or unleashed, and driving any kind of vehicle, kite-flying and similar activities on wet sand are prohibited.

Where plovers nest, all recreation in the dry sand areas is off limits.

Restrictions are in effect until Sept. 15.

State Parks seeks comments on trails COOS BAY — The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is looking for comments on the designation of the Oregon Coast Trail as a State Designated Scenic Trail.

The open house will be 6-7:30 p.m. April 1 at the Coos Bay library.

The State Trail designation program was established in 1971 as part of the Recreational Trails Act. Oregon Regional Trails are non-motorized trails that provide close-tohome recreation opportunities while connecting communities, recreation sites, schools and other

destinations, and to other significant trails.

Regional trails are more than 5 miles long, open to the public, substantially complete and lie on public lands or public rights-of-way or easements.

The Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council will use public comments to guide their recommendation to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission.

Coos County needs new public health chief Bandon Western World

COQUILLE — Coos County has posted a job announcement for a new public health program administrator position.

Nikki Zogg, former administrator, stepped down from the position March 7, citing differences in leadership.

Coos County Commissioner Melissa Cribbins said Zogg was offered more money at Advantage Dental, where she took a job. She also said it was a mutual decision between Zogg and a

person she would not name that Zogg resign.

Zogg took over the position last April from Frances Smith.

She was instrumental the in establishing Community Health Improvement Program in the county, which aimed to make the community healthier by imposing specific goals for area leaders to implement.

The public health administrator salary will range between $4,893 and $6,228 a month.

Bandon participants discussed ways to keep local food system assets operating at even greater capacity. Want to join the conversation? Contact the SCDC at 541-2669753 to learn what projects are underway in your neighborhood.

Commercial kitchen at The Barn The commercial kitchen at the Bandon Community Center, aka The Barn, is one asset noted in the Food Conversation. Available for event catering and local food production, the facility gets rave reviews from users.

It’s a great kitchen and very well equipped, said chef Tara Shaw. Shaw has worked in commercial kitchens around the country — and has catered a number of Bandon events at the Barn

with her Coastal Mist team.

“The kitchen sells itself,” said Barn manager Jeff Norris.

The spacious, stateof-the art kitchen boasts an eight burner, two oven Wolf range; convection oven and warming drawers; walk-in refrigerator and freezer; commercial dishwasher and ice machine. The kitchen was remodeled, along with other improvements to the Barn, in 2008.

The Bandon Senior Meals program utilizes the facility most weekday mornings. The kitchen is available for rent by the hour weekdays after 1 p.m., (except Tuesdays), evenings and weekends.

Art ment will paint the mural.

Eventually the mathematicians will help with accounting and sales. It’s a perfect way to bring real work experience to the classroom.”

Affatati figured out a way to get even younger students involved.

Seventh- and eighth-grade students from HLMS and students from the Afterschool Arts and Culture Club will paint four 8-by-8-foot murals for the HLMS stage in the gym. The sports-themed designs were inspired by the artwork of HLMS school secretary Rachel Hernandez.

Affatati started the Afterschool Arts and Culture Club four years ago, offering free enrichment classes two to four times a week at HLMS. Utilizing the art room after school keeps overhead to a minimum and Affatati and local volunteers have given arts instruction to more than 150 students.

Children receive a free healthy snack and professionally taught classes in the arts.

And it’s not always about the visual arts. This year, volunteer Neal Davis taught comedy and improv classes, giving seventh and eighth graders a lesson in the performing arts and a head start in public speaking.

Local professional photographer Angela Cardas brought in her cameras and taught photography for several weeks.

Allen Young volunteers with the AACC assisting with ceramics and drawing. Creative writing also has been taught.Dave Reed has spent many hours helping the AACC with various needs as well.

High school sophomores Billie Ray Ward and Cheyanne Chapman, graduates of AACC, along with other BHS volunteers, gain not only service hours

but valuable teaching experience.

“I like working with kids because I love kids, plus it gives me a chance to bond with other people,” Chapman said during a recent AACC class.

“I like art,” said Tim Merriam, also an AACC attendee. “I sometimes draw at home, but it’s fun to be in an art class and we get to do other things besides drawing.”

“We all work on our art together so it’s an atmosphere of making art,” Affatati said. “Our motto is, ‘You can’t make art wrong,’ so that way it allows for everyone’s expression.

“It’s a positive experience, especially for kids who might not always have success at school, but they always have success here.”

Affatati and Bandon designer Sheri McGrath have been able to offer a variety of free classes year round with the help of many local artists.

Earlier this school year, Jami Gallagher and Anthony Zunino from Freedom Graphics brought five weeks of graphic design instruction to the club and students ended their training with a field trip to the shop,where they printed their own AACCdesigned T-shirts donated

by Freedom Graphics.

which provided 10 weeks of summertime fun for students too old for the Bandon Summer Recreation Program. A variety of workshops taught by Joanne Drapkin and Susan Lehman from Art by the Sea Gallery; Vickie Eichelberger of Whistling Gallery rounded out cooking and art classes offered by McGrath.

In addition to the afterschool classes, AACC students have been doing great things around town over the past four years.

The school signs at HLMS above the gym entrance were made during AACC as well as the bottle cap murals that decorate the gym. Christmas window painting, the dragon wind kite that hangs at the Port of Bandon, the sign for the Good Earth Community Garden and the holiday photo booth for the Old Town Holiday Marketplace all were created by the AACC. Those curious about what these young people creating under are Affatati’s tutelage can see many pieces on display at the Bandon library in May. Student art cards created by the AACC can be purchased at Two Loons, Bandon Fish Market and from Tim Belmont at Hands & Tans Day Spa.

Benefit

Mural art Left, Harbor Lights Middle School eighth-grader Matt Noel shows off the shirt students designed to benefit the AACC program. Noel and his sister Megan are regular attendants to the program. Above, a drawing by BHS sophomore Felina Schmitz depicts the mural that will be attached in panels to the side of the current Bandon Community Health Center building. Schmitz’ design was chosen after a student art contest was held to create art for the mural.

Proceeds help fund the AACC program.

Funding for the AACC has come partially from a supplies grant from the Coos County Cultural Coalition and The Ford Family Foundation, but more funds are needed to complete the projects, according to Affatati.

To that end, the AACC and Affatati invite the public to “Art From the Heart – An Evening of Fine Art and Beautiful Entertainment.” The show will be held at 7 p.m.

Friday, April 11, at the Sprague Theater, 1202 11th St.SW in Bandon City Park (see sidebar).

All proceeds from the evening will support the mural projects and the AACC classes.

“In these difficult economic times, it really does ‘take a village’ to create a rich educational experience for our students,”

Affatai said. “Judging by the successful attendance of these programs, Bandon’s youth are hungry for healthy activities in which to engage.”

Although these projects have a partially funding by a supplies grant from Coos County Cultural Coalition and The Ford Family Foundation more funds are needed to complete the projects.

Kreitlow, harp and slide show about murals; Johann Hamblin and artin-the-making; Crystal Landucci with Ben and Isabella Bean; Sam Augsburger on horn; and others.

A raffle will be held for several framed fine art pieces by local artists as well as a chance to win an Affatati custom-painted mini-mural for home or office. A student art show will be on display in the lobby and Afterschool

Sponsors and donations of any amount also are gratefully accepted. For $200, businesses or individuals can have their name included in the mural. Tax-exempt donations also can be made to AACC through Harbor Lights Middle School. All donations will support the mural projects and free enrichment classes given by the AACC.

Windows restores them to their original state.

According to Linda Phillips, port project manager, Gustafson is meticulous with his restoration, down to the minute details.

Gustafson started the work Feb. 24 and the entire job will be completed by June. Phillips said he took extensive notes and photos of every aspect of the windows and will replace them to historical accuracy, right down to the type of wood, nails and screws used.

All of the original glass will be reused because no panes were missing, Phillips said. about “Everything those windows will look brand-new,” she said. “He said the construction of the windows in the Coast Guard building are some of the best quality he’s ever seen and he does a lot of these types of historic jobs,” preservation Phillips said.

“It’s nice to have someone who’s excited about the work he’s doing, it just makes us all so excited all over again about this building.”

■ from Page A1 Town Marketplace also received some upgrades in time for the upcoming season.

The building was fitted with all new energy-efficient, full-spectrum lighting at a cost of $5,000, and Port General Manager Gina Dearth said the port is looking at the cost of installing restrooms and heating. The port also would like to refurbish the small building on the south side adjacent to the main building so it can also be rented and finished by a tenant.

“I have to pace the work in order to continue to keep the port out of debt and to continue building up our cash reserves,” Dearth said. “If we could get another retail tenant there, it would be great. Once the restrooms are done, it will expand the uses for both buildings.”

Dearth said the Old Town Marketplace is a success not only for the port but also for vendors.

“I think the building is a huge asset,” she said. “It hasn’t even begun to meet its capacity yet. It’s a big covered, reconditioned space that people can use in this area when you can’t

depend on the weather, to bring the outdoors inside.

We’re not planning to compete with other local venues, but who knows what the future will bring?”

Dearth said the Old Town Marketplace generated $84,000 in revenue for the port over the past two years — $51,594 last year and $32,406 the first year. Much of the revenue has gone back into the building.

“It was a good investment for the money,” she “The Port said.

Commission has said if somebody showed up who wanted to put people to work using that building, they would certainly consider such a proposal and then locate the marketplace elsewhere. But until then, we are heading into our third season.”

The goal of the Old Town Marketplace is to give the community access to a wide variety of artisan-crafted products direct from the producer; to support local growers, artisans and crafters by providing them direct marketing opportunities; to provide information to promote local businesses and nonprofit organizations; and to enhance the Bandon community overall.

The Old Town Marketplace will open May 2 and run through Dec. 13.

Hours will be 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays. Applications for vendors are being accepted and are available at the port office. Peggi Towne is marketplace manager and can be reached at 541290-9570.

BUSINESS / Community

Authentic Italian at Angelo’s Italy I’ve never been to Italy.

I’ve always loved Italian food.

So I’ve wondered how Italian food in America compares to how the Italians make it TABLE in restaurants in Italy.

You can get a good idea at Angelo’s Italy in Old Town Bandon.

That’s because Angelo Giardinelli, is a third generation restaurant owner.

And he was still in Italy until about seven years ago.

“Everything is RON Italian,” JACKIMOWICZ authentic Giardinelli said over the weekend. “All the ingredients are just like I did in Italy.”

As a matter of fact, he’s been out of one type of wine for more than a month because his distributor can’t get it from Italy.

FOR TWO

“I only want to serve wines from the places I knew in Italy,” he said.

He also makes his own dough and sauces.

And this is where you start seeing the differences in Italian cooking and Americanized Italian cooking.

Autumn and I had missed out on getting one of his pizzas the last time we were there, so we decided to give one a try this time around.

The pizzas range from $10 to $16 and range from the basic Margherita or pepperoni pizza up to the Quattro Stagioni, which comes with marinara, mozzarella, anchovies, sausage, mushrooms and artichoke hearts.

Since neither of us is big on fish on pizza, we decided to order the Quattro Stagioni and skip the anchovies.

“We cook our pizzas on stones,” Giardinelli told us.

The crust is very thin and the toppings

Angelo’s Italy is located at 130 Chicago Ave. in Old Town. The restaurant is currently closed on Mondays, but when the hours expand for the summer, it will be open seven days a week.

The hours are 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

They also have takeout, the phone number is 541-329-0372.

aren’t piled on to the point where you can’t tell what’s on the pizza or the pizza gets buried in cheese.

I can see going back in the summer when they have their outdoor dining tables set up to grab a pizza and a glass of wine.

He even has a gluten-free pizza crust that we plan on trying.

Angelo is also part of the entertainment. On Friday and Saturday nights Angelo’s has live entertainment. His son plays guitar, his wife plays violin, and if he has a minute, Angelo will join in with his guitar and sing.

It is quite an intimate atmosphere. At

this time of year, they have the 10 tables inside. During the summer they add about six picnic tables on the patio.

Some first-year businesses experience quite a slowdown during the winter, but Angelo said he’s built a nice following already.

“We’ve been quite busy on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” he said.

Along with his pasta and pizzas, he’s also doing quite a lot of seafood.

“I’m doing a lot of fresh fish,” he said.

“It’s seafood the way we do in Italy.

Nothing fried.”

Preserve’s proceeds top $1 million

By John Gunther Bandon Western World

BANDON — The highly acclaimed Bandon Preserve par-3 golf course at Bandon Dunes has proven wildly popular, and that is great news for local fish populations and other tourism and environmental efforts.

Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser presented a check for $600,000 March 13 to the Wild Rivers Coast Alliance.

That makes more than $1 million Bandon Preserve has generated for WRCA in its first two years. All proceeds from the course go toward the efforts of WRCA. “Let clean economic and development tourism bloom on the South Coast,” Keiser said.

“Most of America doesn’t know how beautiful the South Coast is.”

Bandon Dunes General Manager Hank Hickox said 13,000 rounds were played on Bandon Preserve in its first partial year of operation and another 19,000 last year. Projections are for 20,000 rounds this year and in future years, with golfers paying $100 a round.

“It’s a living, breathing creature that does a lot of things,” Hickox said.

WRCA has been involved in a number of different environmental and economic projects, said Executive Director Jim Seeley.

“Our No. 1 effort is to convene like-minded people and groups to similar accomplish goals,” Seeley said.

Wild Rivers donation Bandon Dunes Golf Resort owner Mike Keiser, right, Wild Rivers Coast Alliance Chairman Harry Hoogesteger, middle and WRCA Executive Director Jim Seeley, left hold a huge check for $600,000 the resort donated to WRCA. General Manager Hank Hickox, far left, looks on.

That includes formation of the Gorse Action Group, a regional effort to attack gorse in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties.

WRCA also is working with fish groups to improve the fishing industry. The group has helped fund in-stream habitat projects on a number of rivers and streams from Bandon south to the Oregonborder, California including planting 10,000 riparian trees over a two-year period.

Another group WRCA has helped is Washed Ashore, a Bandon organization that helps shed a light on beach and ocean pollution by building sculptures with items

found on the beaches.

WRCA helped Washed Ashore move into Old Town Bandon, where it has better exposure.

“From what we’ve seen, it’s a big eye-opener in the community for all ages,” Seeley said.

Meanwhile, 12 of Washed Ashore’s sculptures will be on display at the three Sea World parks.

“Their mission is art to save the sea,” Seeley said. “They are opening people’s eyes through their artwork.”

Meanwhile, a big focus of WRCA includes promoting tourism.

“We’re working to develop a regional tourism outreach opportunity to get Oregon more

on the map than it is,” Seeley said.

“Wonderful generosity makes lots of good things happen for comWRCA munities,” Chairman Harry Hoogesteger said.

The popularity of Bandon Preserve, a 13hole golf course, has helped tremendously.

Golf publications have named Bandon Preserve the top short course in the United States and also the No. 3 most fun course in the country behind Pebble Beach and Old Macdonald, one of the four 18-hole courses at Bandon Dunes.

“That’s pretty good company,” Hickox said.

Keiser is thrilled with how the course, designed

by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, has been received.

“We knew it would turn out well, because Ben and Bill are great,” he said. “It turned out better than we thought it would.”

Keiser said he knew it was a risk asking golfers to pay $100 to play a par3 course.

But the success of Bandon Preserve in its first two years has been great enough that Keiser is considering a second par-3 course, a little further south on the resort property.

“Right now, it’s not zoned for golf,” Keiser said. “Right now, it’s a dream and a concept.”

As it is, Keiser has other priorities, including the May 20 opening of Bandon Punchbowl, the resort’s new 3.4-acre putting course.

It’s been closed since the fall, and guests are eager to get a chance to

play it, said Erik Peterson, the resort’s communications director.

“They’ve never seen anything like it,” Peterson said. “It’s amazing.”

Keiser also is hoping for approval of a land transfer that would clear the way for Bandon Links, the proposed 27-hole facility south of town.

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has recommended approval of the land transfer, but the Parks Commission has delayed final vote until at least April 9.

Keiser remains confident the project will be approved, “just because it is so good for the locals.”

Area residents would pay $20 to play at Bandon Links, $10 if they serve as mentors for caddies.

Golfers from outside the area would pay the same rates as golfers at Bandon Dunes.

Spring Break: It’s time to go trout fishing Local lakes: Several South Coast lakes have recently been stocked with rainbow trout, which is good news for spring breakers and their families.

Anglers fishing Empire Lakes in Coos Bay are reporting good catches of hatchery rainbows. Power Bait in chartruese or garlic rainbow flavors have been producing the most strikes.

Next week, Bradley, Empire Lakes and Johnson Mill Pond are all scheduled to receive trophy-size rainbow trout.

Local rivers: Since coming back into shape late last week, the Chetco River has been producing good numbers of winter steelhead. The steelhead are spread throughout the whole river system and anglers are reporting a 50 percent ration of spawned out fish to fresh fish.

Area shellfish: Andy from The Bite’s On Tackle shop in Empire told me that two of his customers reported catching 18 Dungeness crab near the Coast Guard tower inside of Coos Bay last weekend. Dock crabbers in Charleston are catching a mixed bag of Dungeness and red rock crab. Crabbing in Bandon remains very slow due to a constant flow of fresh water entering the bay after each tide exchange. Next Wendesday starts an eight-day series of minus tides, which is good news for spring breakers looking to bring back some nice bay clams.

Tony Roszkowski owns and operates Port O’ Call — TonysCrabShack.com — on the Bandon waterfront. Many South Coast anglers rely on his fish and shellfish reports. Hear more from Tony on ‘Oregon Outdoors’ Thursdays on KWRO 6130 AM. Email your report to tonyscrabshack7@ gmail.com.
