Utility rate increase in budget plan Proposed hike about $15.19

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — The city of Bandon’s proposed budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year is $23.5 million, an increase of 0.5 percent over last year’s budget. The proposed budget includes utility retail rate increases in the electric, water and sewer departments that total 45 percent overall.

The total 45 percent equates to an approximate monthly increase of $15.19 per household, plus 10 percent tax, according to the budget message prepared by City Manager and budget officer Matt Winkel.

However, the water and sewer department increases must first be approved by voters.

The City Charter was amended about 15 years ago, following an initiative put on the ballot by Bandon resident Francis Stadelman and his group called Citizens For Fiscal Responsibility.

Due to those City Charter restrictions, any future utility rate increases must be approved by the voters. The only exception is an increase in retail electric rates to offset any wholesale rate increases by BPA. “Previously there were also some allowances for

Its Harbortown location in Bandon will close May 4, and reopen July 3. Meanwhile the Washed Ashore team will finish refurbishing and building sculptures behind the scenes. Following that, they will set up two exhibits on opposite coasts: at The San Francisco Zoo plus the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center.

The new Washed Ashore exhibit will have a grand reopening in Bandon on Thursday, July 3, with a dance party and new workshops. Three different exhibits will fill the space with lots to see and do.

The popular oil spill sculpture will remain and a giant tropical reef will be constructed by the public during summer workshops. Local artist Victoria Tierney will help create an exhibit with her paintings that will evolve into large marine debris mosaic panels made by the community, according to a press release.

In addition, artwork by Washed Ashore’s founder and lead artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi will allow visitors to

County puts moratorium on pot dispensaries

By Emily Thornton Bandon Western World

COOS COUNTY — The Coos County commissioners Thursday passed a year-long moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries, the 11th such county in the state to do so.

The ordinance puts a hold on any more medical marijuana dispensaries from opening. It does not affect those already in operation.

The decision came after listening to comments from a couple of residents who initially voiced concern over its pasagreed with but later sage, commissioners, who said it merely bought time for them to decide what kind of ordinances they wanted to place down the road.

“That’s really what the moratorium’s

Thirteen needed to reorganize grange Bandon Western World

BANDON — Eleven future members of the Bandon Grange met with Oregon State Grange master and president Susan Noah at the Bandon Public Library April 15 to learn more about the grange and what a local grange can do for its community.

The meeting was the second meeting held to pursue the reorganization of Bandon Grange, which became dormant in 2008.

Potential members represented many different aspects of the organization, according to Noah. Also present at the meeting was Phyllis Wilson, Oregon State Grange secretary, who lives in Myrtle Point.

“Some granges are actively involved in agriculture, while others

appreciated the successful lobbying efforts of the Oregon State Grange and National Grange,” Noah said.

“Some expressed interest in performing community service in the form of a local food hub. Many were surprised and pleased to learn of the various contests available where members are given the opportunity to showcase their talents and skills in such categories as art, cooking, photography, sewing and crafts.”

Noah explained programs focusing on youth and young adults along with a junior program for those ages 5 through 14. The availability of scholarships from the Oregon State Grange was also mentioned.

Ivy removal in Woolen Mill area BANDON — The Bandon Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking volunteers to help remove ivy in the Woolen Mill area on Arbor Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, April 25.

English ivy is considered a noxious weed and is prevalent in the Bandon area. It grows on many surfaces including tree trunks and can eventually choke oxygen and nutrients from the tree and kill it if not removed.

Snacks and drinks will be provided at the sign-in table located in the parking area at Fourth and Grand. Those attending area asked to bring gloves, pruners and wheel barrows if they have them. Trash bags will be provided. The terrain is uneven, so proper shoes and clothing should be worn.

BHS band returns to state competition

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — The Bandon High School band is headed to state for the first time in many years.

The band will travel to Oregon State University in Corvallis to compete May 14.

Area schools from the South Coast and Roseburg attended the Oregon Music Educators’ Festival for District 7 and 10 last month, according to BHS band director Dave Weston.

There were 14 schools at the festival and three schools in the 3A division.

In that division, regardless of scores earned at the festival, bands can

enter a “tape pool” where groups are chosen to fill the remaining spots in the state competition.

Groups that receive qualifying scores over 71 points from two of three judges, however, are automatically advanced to compete at the state level. That’s what the BHS band did, Weston explained.

The BHS band played “Zeus King of the Gods”

by Rob Romeyn; “Our Yesterdays Lengthen Like Shadows” by Samuel R. Hazo; and “Through Darkened Sleepy Hollow”

by Erik Morales.

Weston said the band students are thrilled to be able to compete at the

Brookilynn, Carolee Hefner, DeWayne Forrest, Evelynn Baker, Hannah Kintner, Joseph Michael, Katie Jo, Kaylee Green and Sierra Willis.

The next open auditions are set for Thursday, April 24, at the Sprague Theater in Bandon, and May 8 in Reedsport. Open audition shows are free.

For registration and show information visit www.KBDN.com for complete details.

Event will send students to national speech competition “Sweet Stephanie, Jeneveve, and Autumn” will be at 7 p.m.Friday,May 23, at the Sprague Community Theater to celebrate and to raise funds for Stephanie Gordon, Jeneveve Winchell, and Autumn Moss-Strong’s trip to Overland, Kan., in June to represent Bandon at the weeklong National Forensic League National Tournament.

The evening will include the team’s favorite speech-

es as well as a silent auction.

This is the community’s opportunity to support the BHS speech team by donating auction items and buying tickets to see the dynamic team in action.

“This is an event that will be inspirational as we send off Stephanie, Jeneveve, and Autumn to nationals as well as recognize our three seniors: Stephanie Gordon, Alaina Russell and Jeneveve

state level.

“In the nine years I’ve been in band, I never expected this,” said Stephanie Gordon. “The competition is always fierce and it feels good to know we’re ready to compete with the best.”

Samantha Orawiec said, “After four years of high school, this is the first time going to state in band. I’m so proud of everyone and I can't wait until state.”

Weston also is proud of the students’ efforts.

“They knew what to do and they did it to the best of their ability,” he said.

“I’m proud to call myself the band director of each and every one of them.”

Winchell as they graduate,” coach Ellen Howard said.

BHS Speech Team graduates Chelsea Hill, Wlnsvey Campos and Tyler Wiprud, who compete on the Pacific University Speech team and qualified for the college level national tournament this year, will be guest presenters.

Tickets, $10 for adults and $5 for students, will be available from team members or at the Bandon High School office.

Letters Guerins say thank you Our family has been truly blessed by the outpouring of love we have received from the people of Bandon.

When we announced that our son, Gabe, would be undergoing a major surgery at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, we received countless cards and phone calls.

We are very thankful for all of the donations that have helped to ease the financial strain caused by so much travel and so many medical bills.

Gabe received many small gifts to keep him entertained during his hospital stay. And people even blessed us with the gift of food! We received so many meals that we did not have to cook for an entire week!

We are so thankful that God planted our family in such a wonderful town. And we are glad that He brought all of you here, too!

Gabe’s recovery is going very well! His surgery ended up being a little more extensive than originally planned. The doctor not only removed pieces of his skull, but she had to remove part of his top vertebrae, too. Then she had to cut the membrane of his brain and add a small patch to expand it also. Gabe has some neck stiffness and is doing physical therapy to help his mobility. But, he is in good spirits and just can't wait to go back to school.

Once again, we would like to say thank you to everyone who has helped our family during this scary time.

We hope to be able to pass these blessings on to others in the future.

Help out Our Thrift Store The Bandon Community Youth Center is asking your help in resolving a theft that occurred Saturday afternoon, April 19, at the business we operate, Our Thrift Store. Someone stole a nice upholstered ottoman from our back garage in the late afternoon.

Stealing is a crime and the loss of an item reduces revenues earned by our nonprofit organization. No community small businesses can afford losses from theft, especially those with a slim profit margin. If you took it, you owe us $30.

We appreciate the support from all who donate merchandise and all who shop at Our Thrift Store.

Revenues support Youth Center operations.

You can further assist us and other thrift stores in the community by carefully screening your donations.

Items that are broken, stained, torn or dirty do not sell.

Items dumped off in a parking lot after hours in this coastal climate generally end up damaged by weather and cannot be sold. The cost of unusable items is high due to both disposal costs and the time it takes to deal with these items. Sorting and disposal costs of unusable items cost our small business over $2,500 per year.

Please sort your donations to make sure that you are not passing on stuff that frankly just needs to go into the garbage. Please call Our Thrift Store at 541-3479832 if you have questions about what we can accept and only donate during open business hours.

I’m told poisons are on hold and that I shouldn’t worry, just douse yourself in Deet and wear a bee suit.

So come on by for the barbecue, but don’t forget, B.Y.O.B. Wait, how do you eat with net and gloves on?

In spite of the rain, we had a great crowd all three days, and people were smiling at the “treasures” they scored. The homemade baked goods donated by Mrs. Norma Handsaker, the grilled gourmet hot dogs and the homemade ice cream sundaes were also a big hit.

The sale earned over $4,400, which will help support the school’s general operations costs.

Join in voting for Kudlac I have had the pleasure of working with Shala McKenzie Kudlac, a candidate for circuit court judge, while serving on the Bandon City Council. I have found her to be professional and prepared in her dealings with the council and Planning Commission. She has always had a practical solution finding approach to legal matters within the city and has written code provisions with accuracy and thoroughness necessary for the position. She has guided the city through legal land use matters as far as the Oregon Court of Appeals and I have no doubt she has the temperament and experience necessary to be a judge.

Shala has had my respect from the beginning of her career and continues to be a good example for young professionals in this area.

Shala is an active member of both Coos and Curry county communities with a good grasp of the local people and what matters most to them. She will be a great asset to the local bench.

Please join me in voting for Shala McKenzie Kudlac for Circuit Court Judge.

Brian M. Vick Bandon

Vote for Shala It is just too easy to vote for the incumbent! How many times have you looked at your ballot, particularly when voting for judges, do you just go down the ballot and vote for the incumbent?

In the upcoming May election, as campaign manager for Shala McKenzie Kudlac, who is running for judge of the 15th Judicial District, position No. 6 serving both Coos and Curry counties, I urge you to take the time to learn what she is about and what she stands for. Read her brochures and hear what she has to say.

Some may say that Shala is too young. Age really has nothing to do with this position. Young people of today, given a good education, experience, a good grasp of technology, integrity and guts will do great in any path they so choose.

Shala is from the Oregon South Coast, raised in Curry County. She is a graduate of the University of Oregon and Willamette University, College of Law. She has been practicing law in Coos and Curry counties since 2005. She is one of our few young people who has returned to us. How many times do we hear others say, “Our young never come back here to live because there is nothing here for them.”

Shala has come home.

Shala will be a good fit for our judicial system because of her history and longevity in both Coos and Curry counties. She understands the people here and our area.

Vote Shala McKenzie Kudlac!

Judges endorse Beaman We are five current circuit court judges serving the 15th Judicial District (Coos and Curry counties). We unanimously support and endorse, without reservation, Circuit Court Judge Cynthia Beaman for re-election as circuit court judge for Coos and Curry counties. Joining us in this support and endorsement are the two most recently retired judges for Coos and Curry counties. Together, the seven of us have over 130 years of experience as circuit court judges.

Our unanimous support and endorsement is based on Judge Beaman being the only candidate with the experience to serve as a circuit court judge. For nine years before Judge Beaman was appointed by the governor and then elected as a circuit court judge, we observed her as a trial lawyer. Judge Beaman represented people in circuit court in the same types of cases she now handles as a circuit court judge. It is our view that being a trial lawyer is the best preparation for becoming a trial judge. Judge Beaman’s opponent does not have that experience in circuit court. She has rarely been in circuit court and when she has appeared, it has been in limited types of cases. Further, Judge Beaman’s opponent has not appeared in circuit court as a lawyer

in a criminal case, has not participated in a jury trial and has only appeared rarely in a juvenile case. These areas make up the majority of the work of a circuit court judge.

Judge Beaman has been a circuit court judge for six years and has gained more experience and knowledge.

She has worked diligently as circuit court judge for Coos and Curry counties. Judge Beaman has presided over a substantial number of criminal cases, juvenile cases, and civil cases of every type and kind in circuit court. She also has regularly handled traffic and small claims trials in circuit court. Her opponent has not.

Judge Beaman has presided over many jury trial and nonjury trials. She works hard every day to efficiently and fairly manage a difficult case load. In doing her work as a circuit court judge, Judge Beaman has not only earned our respect, but has also earned a reputation in the legal community for her patience, preparation, integrity, hard work and fairness.

We strongly urge the voters of Coos and Curry counties to consider Judge Beaman’s background and experience when casting their ballots. It is very important to keep Judge Beaman’s experience on the circuit court bench to ensure the experience and fairness necessary to do the work of a circuit court judge. Please join us in voting for Judge Cynthia Beaman for circuit court judge, 15th Judicial District, Position 6.

Supporting Kudlac for judge We are proud to support Shala McKenzie Kudlac as a candidate for judge.

We have had the opportunity to work both as cocounsel and as an opponent, and have found her to have a common sense approach to the legal field. Shala McKenzie Kudlac is a strong candidate for judge because of her knowledge of the people and her abilities in the law. She is a sincere and honest person who has demonstrated her abilities as a lawyer. She is mature beyond her years due to her upbringing and work ethic. We believe she is a leader in whatever endeavors she may choose to pursue and will be a great asset to the judiciary in Coos and Curry counties.

Your support of Shala McKenzie Kudlac for judge is important, so please remember to vote. The mail-in ballots are out on April 30 and must be received by 5 p.m. May 20.

Ann Hernandez Bandon

Vote for Beaman I have known Judge Cynthia Beaman for over 10 years. We served on the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Board of Directors together when we were practicing attorneys. Both of us subsequently became circuit court judges.

Judges have to make tough decisions on a routine basis. We may have to decide whether to incarcerate a youth or adult offender. We may have to remove children from their parents when the family becomes involved in the child welfare system. Or we may have to determine whether it is lawful to evict a person from their home. These decisions require thoughtfulness, knowledge of the applicable statutes and case law and an assurance that all parties have an opportunity to be heard.

Judge Beaman possesses all of these qualities and has demonstrated the ability to fairly and impartially follow the law in her seven years on the bench.

Judge Beaman is dedicated to her community. She has been involved in numerous organizations and events that benefit youth in the Brookings area. She also serves with me on a statewide group of juvenile judges who are committed to raising the profile and priority of child abuse and neglect cases in Oregon.

Please vote to re-elect Judge Beaman to the Coos/Curry Circuit Court.

Water issues of importance I attended the Bandon Water Resource Committee at their special meeting on Thursday, April 10, at city hall. I was a bit late, but in time to hear the committee discuss in some detail the plans they were working on for the future of our water supply and the source of that supply. It was helpful to observe the process but more than that to hear “up close and personal” each member’s viewpoint.

Each of the members displayed a true commitment to their positions. I felt each brought to the table a unique and desirable perspective. I learned several facts I was not aware of including the “leak” in the dam, owned by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife where the source of our water supply runs through, has been repaired and will be in good working order for a few years. I learned we have a major project regarding our reservoirs, which is being studied now by experts to decide exactly how to move forward and that this issue requires urgent attention.

These two reservoirs are both silted in to a dangerous point. Not only related to how much they are able to hold in reserve for us to use in case needed in the future but, the legal access to them in regards to water rights may became an issue too. It was explained in the meeting that when a reservoir is not in compliance as a result of silting, it becomes in danger of having its water rights status revoked (my word).

Anyone reading this will immediately recognize why this is an important issue and action must taken. I was relieved to know action will be taken to resolve it.

I left the meeting confident the Water Resource Committee is on it. They are dedicated individuals working hard to take care of our water supply and its source. They welcomed my questions and answered them fully. I encourage our community to support their worthy efforts as they move forward with their goals. I would also add that community members interested in learning more can attend their open meetings and should become involved in the process.

Kelly and Gregg Oney are the new owners of The Wool Company, a long-time Bandon business.

Mare Smith owns Stranded by the Sea knitting and crochet studio in the former Coast Guard building.

The Wool Company 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Saturday 990 Second St., Bandon 541-347-3912

The Wool Company For many knitters and crocheters, the memory of yarn features a favorite aunt or grandmother teaching the basics. And really, a few simple stitches is all you need to know, said Kelly Oney, the new proprietor at The Wool Company.

She learned the basics with her great grandmother, and in home economics class. As an adult, she’s experimented with carding Business and felting. In recent years, The Wool

By The Company was a regular stop on her visSea its to the Oregon coast.

When she learned the business was for sale last winter, she jumped at the opportunity to invest in a business that’s attracted local and visiting customers for more than 30 years.

“I bought myself a job,” Oney said with a laugh.

Working with husband and co-owner Gregg, Oney has reorganized and redecorated the shop, applied fresh paint throughout, pruned the shrubs and sorted through inventory.

And it looks great, said company founder Jolly Hibbits.

The couple’s work experiences are varied. They’ve owned a ranch and custom haying business. Oney worked as a school librarian for 23 years. In small town Adin, in the big valley region of Northern California, the Oneys established The Oney Frosty in Town, a restaurant they still operate with their daughters.

With customer service skills learned in the restaurant and a love of education, Oney looks forward to continuing the same warm hospitality that first attracted her to The Wool Company. It’s a place that welcomes fiber artists of all ages and abilities. She’s already inspired by the company’s regulars.

“I guess you get to the coast and you find more creative people,” said Oney.

The Wool Company offers high quality yarn and supplies, including many options in an accessible price range. Oney has stocked a small selection of handcrafted consignment pieces and coast themed gifts. Ask about regular knitting group meetings, classes and workshops.

Wool Company in review The Wool Company was founded the summer of 1982 by Jolly Hibbits and Pat Rhone to offer local wool processing and carding services. Their first carding machine processed about one pound per hour; an upgrade to cottage industry carder sped the process to 10 pounds per hour.

Hibbits and Rhone moved the business to its present U.S. Highway 101 location in 1985. Hibbits assumed full ownership of the building and business, adding to the retail selection of yarn, crochet and knitting supplies, and spinning wheels. Learning to spin was a popular activity among Wool Company customers.

Longtime employees Geri Inokuchi and Gail Cassidy purchased the business in 2003. They updated the interior and continued to refresh the selection of quality knitting yarns, added more books, patterns and knitting needles.

The welcome atmosphere and yarn supplies attracted repeat customers from around the region, including Kelly Oney. Oney purchased the business with her husband Gregg in 2013.

Stranded by the Sea Mare Smith was so captivated by yarn she opened her own knitting and crochet studio last fall. Located in the historic U.S. Coast Guard building, Stranded by the Sea offers a quiet corner where visitors can bring their own knitting and crochet projects, or explore one of Smith’s seasonal features.

“I want it to be like coming to my own living room to sit and knit,” said Smith.

Smith moved to Bandon with her husband in 2004.

She was just starting to explore knitting, and says The Wool Company was one of Bandon’s attractions. At Stranded by the Sea, guests will find a tabletop work station, comfortable sofa, and a library of pattern books.

Smith’s retail yarn selection is small, a focused collection of natural fibers produced in the United States.

The studio suites were first designed and used as bunk rooms for the Coast Guard. The original closet spaces make for great cabinet displays of natural yarn, many without dyes. Contemporary, full spectrum lighting, a recent Port of Bandon update throughout the building, show the wool, silk and cashmere to great effect.

Through the winter months, Smith highlighted Donegal tweed yarn and tweed projects. This spring, Smith’s attention is on lace and fine weight yarn.

Studio projects will feature knitting and crocheting flowers and embellishments.

Increase sewer and electric rate increases that were associated with rate covenants attached to prior revenue bonds, but those bonds have been repaid, so the rate covenants no longer apply,” Winkel said.

The two proposed increases that must be approved by voters, if approved by the Budget Committee and put on the ballot by the City Council, are a water department retail rate increase of 27 percent and a sewer department retail rate increase of 13.2 percent.

The 27 percent increase proposed for the water department represents an additional $4.70 per month, from $17.40 to $22.10, plus 10 percent tax, for the average

“Even though applications have been received, there must be 13 applicants at a meeting,” Noah said.

The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 8, in the Sprague Room at the Bandon library. Noah will return to conduct the welcoming ceremony, elect officers and help set the wheels in motion for the future of Bandon Grange.

Paul Frasier, district attorney for the county, weighed in on the moratorium.

“I think you folks need more time to structure zoning regulations,” Frasier said.

Planning department director Jill Rolfe said it was a lot of work for her department to zone land.

She said they had to mail notices to all residents. It would be followed by hearings, and could take at least three months.

“The moratorium is very beneficial to us,” Rolfe said.

The moratorium is effective until May 1, 2015, the maximum amount of time allowed under Senate Bill 1531, or until the commissioners pass another ordinance, whichever comes first.

Other counties with ordinances include Linn, Deschutes, Columbia, Douglas, Jackson, Lincoln, Malheur, Umatilla, Wheeler and Yamhill.

“... the city’s permanent property tax rate is extremely low compared to other full-service cities in Coos County ...

”

— City Manager Matt Winkel inside-city residential customer using 5,000 gallons of water per month. Outside-city residents will pay more, but are subject to the 10 percent tax.

The last water rate increase was in 2006 and resulted in a 60-percent increase, according to Winkel.

The 13.2 percent rate increase proposed for the sewer department will ensure sufficient funds to continue properly operating, maintaining and improving the sewer system, Winkel wrote in his budget message.

The increase represents an additional $4.50 per month, from $34 to $38.50, plus 10 percent tax, for the average inside-city residential customer using 5,000 gallons of water. Again, outside-city rates are higher, but not subjected to the 10 percent tax.

The 5.83 percent increase in the electric department has been proposed to offset a wholesale rate increase last fall from the Power Bonneville Administration, where the city purchases its power.

Winkel said the rate would go up approximately $5.99 per month, plus 10 percent for tax, for the

average inside-city residential customer using 1,400 kilowatt hours of power. Outside city rates are higher, but the 10 percent tax is not applied.

The last electric department retail rate increase was a 5 percent increase in 2011. This year’s proposed retail increase is only intended to offset the BPA increase, Winkel said, and will be allowed by the City Charter without voter approval.

The electric rate increase is expected to be instituted this summer, when residents traditionally use less electricity.

As recommended in last year’s budget message, the city’s water resource committee was reactivated this year to examine the issue of water and sewer rate increases, Winkel said.

The committee will report to the City Council regarding reducing water and system sewer expenses and/or increasing rates.

“Rather than trying to obtain voter approval for each and every individual rate increase, the most efficient and economic alternative would be to secure voter approval of a charter amendment the City restoring Council’s authority to set

It has taken thousands of volunteers and tons of marine debris to create the monumental sculptures that now make up the Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea exhibit.

water, sewer and electric rates,” Winkel said. “This would allow the city to undertake more frequent smaller increases as opposed to fewer, larger ones.”

Based on the revenue and expenditure projections in the proposed 2014-15 budget, it appears that the city will be able to continue functioning at its current staffing and service levels for the upcoming fiscal year, Winkel wrote in his budget message.

The most significant challenge will continue to be ensuring the municipal water, sewer and electric utilities are financially viable.

Unlike most other cities, whose budgets are based heavily on property taxes, Bandon basically functions as a utility company, which provides additional spin-off services such as police and fire protection, street maintenance, planning and parks and recreation.

“At 46 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, the city’s permanent property tax rate is extremely low compared to other full-service cities in Coos County, whose permanent rates range from $6.10 to $7.99,” Winkel said.

Next week: Significant expenditures and capital improvements proposed in next year’s budget, plus Revenue Sharing allocations.

Dam update The proposed water rate increase is projected to be the minimum necessary to operate and maintain the water system and provide an adequate supply of clean drinking water, according to City Manager Matt Winkel.

Nothing is included in the proposed rate increase for fixing the Ferry Creek dam or for dredging the Ferry Creek and Geiger Creek reservoirs, which have silted in significantly.

Even with the proposed water rate increase, the budget projects that sufficient funds will not be available for dredging the dams, so $100,000 has been designated in the Capital Improvement Fund to subsidize the water utility and begin building some reserves for water reservoir dredging.

“Subsidizing the water system with capital improvement funds and still not having sufficient water revenues to provide reserves for future dam and reservoir repair is further evidence that water rates are much too low,” Winkel said.

The dams are owned by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. They have generally accepted the responsibility for repairing the Ferry Creek dam, but so far have not been able to find the necessary funding, Winkel added.

“If the city chose to repair the dam or chose to donate the funds necessary to repair the dam, I am sure ODFW would gladly accept the money,” he said. “If ODFW decided that they did not have the money to fix the dam and chose to let it continue leaking, or if they decided to drain the water out in order to protect the fish hatchery, then it would be up to the city to decide how to proceed and how to fix the dam.”

The latest cost estimate Winkel has seen for repairing the Ferry Creek dam was for engineering and testing at around $25,000, plus $86,000 for injecting urethane foam under the existing spillway, which was temporarily repaired last month.

“I understand that other alternatives are still being studied,” Winkel said. “The city agreed to utilize its equipment and labor to demolish and remove the old spillway if the repair involved constructing a new spillway.”

Baseball team makes strides

Softball slump ends

By George Artsitas Bandon Western World

Bandon Western World

Bandon’s softball team found its offense just in time to win the opener of a doubleheader against Illinois Valley on Saturday, but the Tigers weren’t able to keep up the momentum in the nightcap.

Bandon beat the Cougars 9-8 in the first game after entering the bottom of the seventh inning down 8-7.

Cheyenne Young led off the inning with a double to left center and Carissa Guarino followed with a single.

Ally Richert brought in Young with a single and Savannah Williams singled in the winning run.

Richert finished the game with three hits, while Young, Guarino and Williams had two hits each.

Cheyenne Young, who moved from second base to the pitcher’s circle this year, gave up seven hits and also walked seven batters.

The win ended a seven-game losing streak for the Tigers.

Bandon coach Rick Hinojosa said Young pitched better in the nightcap, which Bandon lost 8-0.

But the Tigers couldn’t generate any offense and committed five errors.

Young gave up eight hits, but only three walks and struck out five.

Young had two hits in the nightcap.

This week started with another loss, 11-1 at Gold Beach on Tuesday. That was a big improvement from last week’s 23-3 loss, Hinojosa said.

Bandon’s only run came in the first inning, when Young reached on an error and later came across the plate on a groundout by Annmarie Pickett.

The Tigers didn’t have any hits in the game.

A highlight for the team was the play of Paige Smith, who ran down three fly balls in left field to stop Gold Beach rallies, Hinojosa said.

The Tigers have a doubleheader at Myrtle Point on Friday and host North Bend on Monday.

Bandon has its first league games next Friday with a twin bill at Coquille.

Over the hurdles Bandon’s Eleanor Winston leaps over one of the hurdles in the 100-meter event Saturday at the Prefontaine Rotary Invite track and field meet at Marshfield High School. Winston, a freshman, had a new best of 23.06 seconds in the event.

Tigers compete in Pre meet Bandon Western World

Bandon’s track and field team had a number of placers in the 26-schools Prefontaine Rotary Invitational at Marshfield High School on Saturday.

The event included a number of state leaders at several different classifications. No team scores were kept.

For Bandon’s girls, Aida Santoro placed second in the 3,000 meters with a new best of 11 minutes, 19.60 seconds.

She ranks fourth in Class 3A this season.

Fellow cross country standout Sarah Cutler placed fourth in the 800 meters with a time of 2:33.08.

Meanwhile, Hannah Smith placed in two individual events, including taking fifth in the triple jump with a leap of 335 3/4. She is the No. 3 jumper in Class 3A so far this spring. Smith also placed

sixth in the 100 with a time of 13.86 seconds.

Toni Hall tied for fifth in the high jump, clearing 4-8. Rowan Reimer was eighth in the long jump with a new best of 15-0 1/2, nearly a foot better than her previous best.

Bandon’s 4x100 relay team of Hall, Eleanor Winston, Reimer and Smith finished eighth in 56.35.

Mitchell Brown placed eighth in the 100 meters for Bandon’s boys with a time of 11.84 seconds.

Brown teamed with Alex Winston, Jacob Taylor and Logan Shea to place seventh in the 4x100 relay in 46.45 seconds.

The Tigers compete at South Umpqua today and then have a break until May 6, when they host eight other teams in the Bandon Invitational.

Golfers eye berths at state Bandon Western World Bandon’s girls golf team has consistently been the only complete team in the Class 4A-3A-2A-1A district that includes all the South Coast schools.

Should that trend continue, Bandon will be guaranteed a return trip to the state meet. The way the Tigers have been playing, that might be a likely outcome anyway.

Last week, Grace McMahon earned medalist honors in the weekly tour-

nament at Forest Hills Country Club with a 102.

Michelle Whitney shot a 106, Alaina Russell a 113, Liza May Skeie a 114 and Nina Pelayo a 120.

This week at Sandpines in Florence, McMahon shot a 111 to lead the Tigers while Russell had a 118, Pelayo a 120 and Skeie a 123.

Next week’s league tournament is at Sutherlin and the girls also will play at Trysting Tree, site of the state tournament.

Bandon’s boys, meanwhile, placed sixth at the

Bandon Invitational at Old Macdonald on Monday at Bandon Dunes.

Braden Fugate led the Tigers with an 87, while Ethan Wickstrom had a 91, Shelby Bannister a 92 and Tristian Davidson a 93.

James Hammons shot a 104.

Bandon again finished behind Oakridge, which has been the top team from the district. The Tigers beat Gold Beach, the squad they expect to battle for the second berth to the state tournament later in the season.

Bandon’s baseball team was able to split a a doubleheader with Illinois Valley over the weekend, dropping the first game 9-3 but coming back with a 4-2 win in the nightcap Saturday.

In the first game, Bandon coach Jay Ferrell didn’t see much to be happy about on either side of the ball. His team gave up seven throwing errors which resulted in eight of the nine Cougar runs.

“Basically we didn’t hit the ball or field the ball,” Ferrell said. “We played much better the second game.”

The story of the second game was starting pitcher Derik Cox. Cox needed just 78 pitches over seven innings and didn’t walk any batters.

On the defensive side, Bandon played much better in the second game.

Ferrell highlighted Quentin Coomer’s efforts at second base and was impressed by a few of Coomer’s diving plays that kept Bandon on top.

On offense, Bandon jumped on top early with a run in each of the first two innings. Ferrell explained that his team did a good job manufacturing runs, getting four runs on only three hits. As a team, Ferrell saw his team have a complete attitude shift in the second game .

“The first game it seemed like we were a little uninspired.” Ferrell said “Our defense was really solid that second game.”

Bandon entered the week 4-6 and ranked No.

7 in Class 3A with league play coming up on the horizon.

The Tigers will take on Coquille in a doubleheader May 2 for their first league matchup.

Before that, the Tigers will have a doubleheader against Myrtle Point Friday and host a game with Umpqua Valley Christian on Monday leading up to the Sunset Conference kick-off next Friday.

Bandon’s biggest challenge will be when it faces No. 2 Glide on May 6.

With Coquille coming off a year without a baseball program and firmly grounded in a rebuilding year, the three games between Glide and Bandon will almost certainly decide the league champion and berth to the Class 3A playoffs.

With the big games coming up, Ferrell knows what he needs to work on with his team.

“I feel good about how we’ve improved as a team as far as offensively, it’s just consistency is what I’m looking to get better at. I feel like we play a few games and then we come out flat as a pancake,” Ferrell said. “We just need a few wins under our belt and we’ll get the snowball rolling.”

Bandon got one of those wins Tuesday, when the Tigers traveled to Gold Beach and rallied late for a 7-6 win over the Panthers.

Bandon trailed 6-2 in the top of the sixth inning when the Tigers scored five straight runs with two outs to steal the victory.

Peters hit a home run in the win and Robert Martino pitched a complete game with six strikeouts.
