New, colorful ‘Go Native’ mural collaborative effort

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — A new mural that pops with color now adorns the back of Bandon Mercantile facing east for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The mural can be seen clearly from U.S. Highway 101 just past The Station Restaurant on the north side of the highway for those traveling south.

Designed and painted in seven panels by 21 Bandon High School students under the direction of local muralist Vicki Affatati and Go Native facilitator Darcy Grahek, the mural is intended to raise awareness of the high school’s new Go Native program.

The mural depicts 12 plants native to the area in their blooming form and common name, including Douglas spirea, ocean spray, red elderberry, columbine, thimbleberry, wild iris, cat tail, red flowering currant, red huckleberry, tiger lily, Oregon grape and skunk cabbage.

“The kids did a lot of research before they started painting,” Affatai said. Friday morning after the mural was hung. “They are large enough to you an

impression so when you visit them in nature, you’ll recognize them.”

The idea was conceived last September and the panels were started in mid-February. BHS junior Felina Schmitz designed the mural and BHS senior Mara Nolan put in 210 volunteer hours.

Many local businesses and individuals also helped by donating materials, money and time, Affatati said. Grants were awarded to complete the project as well (see letter from Grahek on Page A4).

The mural was painted with the best paints available, then varnished to protect it from the weather.

“It’s really an advertisement for the Go Native project, so people know how important native plants and biodiversity is to our environment,” said Grahek. “The amazing thing about native plants is you don’t need to water them so people can have a garden with native plants (that needs very little care).”

Grahek gave an update about the Go Native program at Monday’s school board meeting and asked for the board’s permission to write an additional grant to the Coquille Tribe.

BANDON — Voters will be asked in the November election to give the City Council limited authority to increase utility rates up to 5 percent per year.

Bandon resident Rob Taylor has already said publicly he will mount a campaign to defeat the measure.

The city’s current charter prevents the council from increasing certain utility rates unless approved by the voters.

Proposed by the Bandon Water Resource Committee, the measure, approved by the council at its Aug. 4 meeting, would amend the charter to authorize the council to increase water, sewer and electric utility rates up to a maximum of 5 percent per year.

City Manager Matt Winkel said if approved, the measure would provide adequate funds for properly operating and maintaining the utility systems, while at

The following year, the city’s property tax rate was frozen at 46 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. Since 1995, the city has asked Bandon citizens to approve 17 separate financial ballot measures and every measure has failed, according to information provided by the Water Resource Committee.

Smoke-free advocate heads to Eugene

By Chelsea Davis Bandon Western World

NORTH BEND — Coos County’s biggest smokefree advocate is going to continue his fight against Big Tobacco in Eugene.

Thursday marked eight years since longtime Bandon resident and former naturopathic physician Stephen Brown began battling Coos County’s perceived smoking culture. He moved into a new office at Lane County Public Health on Aug. 11, working for Prevention Lane on tobacco-free efforts.

Brown was Coos County’s tobacco prevention program coordinator. Over the years,

he’s succeeded in making schools, hospitals and city parks smoke-free across the county. He’s had pushback, though. Some elected officials don’t think local municipalities should be responsible for enforcing smoking bans, or they see bans as infringing on individual freedoms.

“It usually comes down to the makeup of the decisionmaking body and our skill presenting them with a proposal in which they’re able to see the wisdom,” Brown said.

Efforts to ban smoking on the sidewalks outside the North Bend Annex didn’t

make it through the North Bend City Council in 2010.

Similar measures, like the Mingus Park smoking ban, irked many in the community, including former Councilor Jon Eck who voted against it, saying while he doesn’t smoke, “I don’t like having the government tell us what to do.”

“In the last few years, I’ve been pretty discouraged by what we haven’t been able to accomplish,” Brown said.

The number of Coos County high school juniors who smoke is half what it was when Brown started working here, but the adult

EDUCATION / Community Food preservation SWOCC receives hotline available at OSU Extension $50,000 for parenting Bandon Western World

hotline must undergo 40 hours of training. They educate the public about safe food handling and preservation over the phone and at workshops and exhibits. Last year, 460 new and veteran master food preservers throughout the state contributed 20,845 volunteer hours.

Master Food Preservers answered 2,262 calls during the 2013 summer season.

About 80 percent dealt with food safety questions.

For food preservation information go to http://extension.oregonstate.edu/fch/food-prese rvation. OSU Extension’s Ask an Expert service also takes online questions about food preservation a t http://bit.ly/OSU_AskAn Additionally, Expert.

Master Food Preservers run a holiday food safety hotline every November.

SOUTH COAST — The Oregon State University Extension Service will once again offer its summer food preservation and safety hotline for queries on proper canning techniques, safe recipes to follow and where to get pressure canner gauges tested locally.

The toll-free hotline, at 1-800-354-7319, runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday from July 14 to Oct. 17. Extensioncertified Master Food Preserver volunteers from Lane and Douglas counties take the calls.

Proper techniques must be used to ensure canned foods are high quality and safe to eat.

The hotline is one of several resources, including publications and classes, which OSU Extension offers on food safety.

education program Bandon Western World

COOS BAY — The Oregon Parenting Education Collaborative, a multiyear grant program partnership among four of Oregon’s largest foundations, including The Oregon Community Foundation, The Ford Family Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust and The Collins Foundation, along with Oregon State University have awarded more than $1.6 million in grants to organizations around the state to support the delivery of highquality parenting education programs.

Grants also will help develop and strengthen collaborations among providers through regional parenting education “Hubs.”

Study after study has found that healthy and effective parenting ensures that children have a strong foundation for success in school and in life. Oregon has many excellent programs for parents, but the field is frequently fragmented and funding can be inconsistent: Thus, the need for strategies that encourage collaboration, planning and more effective use of resources.

“Investment in strong parenting is a critical strategy for ensuring that all children are ready to learn,” said Mary Louise McClintock, director of education programs at OCF. “Through OPEC, we are excited to be able to offer support to a large part of the state to ensure these parenting education programs are strong and effective.”

In 2014, an OPEC expansion increased the number of parenting education Hubs to 15, now serving 27 counties in Oregon and also Siskiyou County, Calif. Hub recipient organizations are building their region’s parenting education infrastructure and expanding offerings of best practice parenting education programs for parents of children prenatal to age six.

Along Oregon’s South Coast, OPEC awarded $50,000 to Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay to serve Coos and Curry counties.

LEAP into health with 30-day program BANDON — “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

Some 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates knew that food can heal us or kill us.

Everyone knows that he or she should consume more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains and yet less than 15 percent of Americans are actually doing so, according to

Stephanie Polizzi, registered dietitian with OSU Extension Family & Community Health.

Lifestyle Education Activity Progress is a 30day lifestyle program that helps participants do what they know is good for them.

LEAP is based on the principles of The Health Complete

Hit the open road, explore the country and rack up the miles!

Improvement Program, which has 25 years of evidential research to demonstrate that the right foods can heal disease. Leaping off the CHIP platform, LEAP is designed to educate and inform but also to give participants hands-on experience cooking and preparing whole-food, plant-based meals.

The class will meet three nights per week at the Bandon Community Center starting Sept. 3 and ending Sept. 28. Led and supported by health

professionals, the program includes pre- and post-blood labs so participants can judge the health improvements for themselves. Participants will prepare the meals and then enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of their labor.

Class also includes fitness instruction and other activities to bust the barriers to living a healthy lifestyle. Participants will learn how to shop, prepare, cook and store foods they will love to eat.

“Join LEAP and see for yourself,” Polizzi said.

“Come to a free informational session held at the Bandon Public Library from 1 to 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17, and from 6:307:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26. Bring your friends, family members and an open mind. We’ll provide the inspiration, motivation and, with your participation, the results.”

When are we going to talk about mental health?

BANDON CURRENTS

AMY MOSS STRONG

A quiet, respected couple in Bandon, Oregon mom Jennifer Huston, a young man running from police on the McCullough Bridge and now a beloved comedian.

This is just a minute sampling of people who felt desperate enough to take their own lives, despite seemingly having everything to

live for.

It’s sad beyond words, but all I can think is when are we going to talk about the underlying cause?

When are we, as a society, going to talk about mental illness without hushed tones, without the stigma and come up with some concrete solutions to provide professional, consistent help to those who suffer?

Mental illnesses are complicated and often difficult to diagnose.

Depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia and anxiety disorder symptoms can overlap with many other symptoms listed in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

But those around people suffering notice when something is wrong. And sometimes they choose to overlook odd or out of character behavior in their loved ones or coworkers. Or, if they do notice and try

to help, the victim refuses care.

Then there’s the shame, the Scarlet Letter. If you had diabetes, high blood pressure or fibromyalgia, you’d seek help. You’d tell your family, friends and co-workers. You’d openly treat your symptoms and let people know when you’re having a good day or a bad day.

Not so with mental illness.

There’s still a societal stigma, especially among young people. Would you tell a potential partner you suffer from bouts of depression or that you’d been hospitalized for anxiety attacks of bi-polar psychosis?

Would you tell your friends, your employer?

Probably not. And in many cases, you might not seek help for the same

reason.

When are we going to talk about it without feeling shame, as if the person suffering brought it upon himself?

I think it’s time to have that conversation and it can start in our community, in our schools and work places and health clinics.

We need more licensed, trained professionals to help, we need more community understanding and awareness.

And most of all, we need to be empathetic and non-judgmental.

Then, maybe we can stop and listen and begin to understand and possibly prevent the next mental health tragedy.

Letters Mural created thanks to many The Bandon High School’s Go Native Project mural, depicting local native plants and Face Rock, went up on Friday on the east side of Bandon Mercantile in Bandon.

Its purpose is to both celebrate our local flora and create awareness of the biodiversity and beauty found in this place we call home. The Go Native studentoperated native species wholesale plant nursery is now in operation on the high school campus.

It is with great appreciation that I would like to acknowledge the following people and organizations for their support of the mural: The Coos Cultural Coalition and The Ford Family Foundation were key to bringing the artist Vicki Affatati into the high school’s art classes. Teachers Jen Ells, Trent Hatfield and Silia Polamalu promoted student involvement.

Thanks to student artists: Dee Bivens, Cheyanne Chapman, Samantha Dow, Kenny Hamilton, Tim Hatfield, Christina Heikes, Hailey Iverson, Mara Nolan, Paige Oman, Annmarie Pickett, Rowan Reimer, Surawit Roberts, LeeAnna Saunders, Felina Schmitz, Savanna Sewell, Kayla Sherman, Gwen Stadelman, Billy Ray Ward, Alex Winston and Eleanor Winston.

Many, many volunteer hours on the part of student, Mara Nolan and artist Vicki Affatati went into finishing the mural and making the plants fit together cohesively.

We are grateful to Ed and Beth Wood of the Mercantile, and the City of Bandon for giving the mural a good and public home. Thanks to Guy Ridenour, Johann Hamblin, Mike and Evan Grahek, James and Rhonda, Eric Dittmer, Eli Officer, Justin Flores, Hennicks Home Center, Tim at Bandon Rental and Chris Butler for your assistance in the hanging. Thanks to everyone else who was instrumental in this beautiful effort.

Playhouse has guardian angel The Bandon Playhouse at their last meeting on Thursday, Aug. 7, did something historic. They named their first Guardian Angel.

Hopefully this is something they will continue into the future. A Guardian Angel will be recognized in Playhouse publications. SharonLee Danielson was a longtime member of the Playhouse and had been in many plays, had worked as stage crew, usher, worked the snack bar and just about anything she was asked to do.

She is fondly remembered and greatly missed by her husband Floyd, her family and her friends and fellow actors from the Playhouse.

Therefore, the board and members of the Playhouse wanted to honor her in this way. An honor that I believe is richly deserved.

Thank you to the Playhouse.

The ‘dirt’ on park playground Seven things you should know: 1. It’s not dirt; it’s shredded tires and it may be harmful to your children. Due to a tire disposal problem, companies are cutting up, painting and selling used tires as mulch for playgrounds. Sounds good, but it’s not. Recycled tire mulch products such as those found at Bandon’s City Park playground have been tested by reputable agencies (1) that seriously question the safety of such products. In fact, 49 chemicals have been found in recycled tires; seven of which are known to cause cancer (2).

2. What’s that black stuff? You may have noticed a black residue on you and your children’s mouths and skin after visiting Bandon’s playground. This black stuff is called “carbon black” and it’s used in tire manufacturing to strengthen and color auto tires.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, carbon black is a potential human carcinogen. What’s more, the nanoparticles (microscopic pieces) of carbon black resemble those of asbestos and when inhaled, may cause health problems such as lung cancer and asthma (4).

3. What’s that smell? Where we should be smelling nature and ocean breezes, our families are unable to avoid breathing in the chemical tire smell that is emanating from the ground up tires at the Bandon City Park playground. These off-gassing fumes from the tire pieces contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s) which are known respiratory and reproductive toxicants. According to the EPA, breathing air contaminated with PAH’s may increase a person’s risk of developing cancer (5), and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry states that PAH’s may increase the risk for cancer and also the chances of birth defects (6). Phthalates, chemicals suspected to be toxic to the endocrine and reproductive systems of humans and development of children, are also present in tire mulch, along with other potentially harmful chemicals (7).

4. What you can do to protect your children: Avoid playgrounds that use recycled tire mulch, opting for play areas that choose less toxic ground coverings instead. Make sure to frequently wash the hands, faces and skin of your children with soap and water if they have been exposed to tire shreds. Don’t let your children put the tire pieces in their mouths or let them put their hands in their mouths or their eyes after touching

the tire mulch. If you notice the tire shreds in your children’s clothes, be certain to remove the contaminated clothing before entering your home and properly dispose of tire pieces.

5. Impact safety: The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) conducted laboratory studies in 2007 to investigate the potential health risks to children from playground surfaces made from recycled tires. Two studies looked at the risk of injury from falls on playground surfaces constructed from recycled tires compared to wood chips. Out of the 32 playgrounds surfaced in recycled tires that the researchers in California looked at, only 10 met that state’s 2007 standard for “head impact safety” to reduce brain injury and other serious trauma in children who fall while playing. In contrast, all five surfaces made of wood chips met the safety standard (1)(3).

6. Cities are getting the tire toxins out: Cities throughout the U.S. and abroad are becoming aware of the health threats associated with recycled rubber tires used as playground mulch. In June of 2013, the town of Greenbelt, Maryland closed its playground after concerns were raised over the phthalates present in the rubber shreds (8). Taos, New Mexico decided to halt its plans of spreading recycled tire mulch over its playgrounds in 2012 after citizens presented their concerns about the health implications of exposing children to ground up tires. The State Department of Conservation of Massachusetts decided to replace the controversial recycled rubber mulch at three playgrounds in 2010 after “fears that regular exposure to volatile organic compounds in the tires might have long-term negative health impacts” (9).

7. Demand the removal of the recycled tire mulch! If your children’s exposure to potentially harmful chemicals at the Bandon City Park playground concerns you, let Bandon officials know.

In and Around Bandon Men of Worth present Irish/Scottish music

gallery.net/

From Scotland’s outer islands and Ireland’s west, some of America’s most authentic musical heritage is coming to Bandon-By-The-Sea. The folk duo Men of Worth will be returning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20, to Sprague Theater, 1202 11th St. SW in Bandon City Park.

Together, Men of Worth blend their voices with harmony and support their collection of songs with their varied selection of instruments, according to a press release.

Men of Worth’s tunes and songs are so authentic, so closely connected to their heritage, that Scotsman Donnie Macdonald sings some in his native Gaelic, while Irishman James Keigher includes time-polished pieces saved from the oral traditions of his native County Mayo.

“Our music has its history in the crofting life of my Hebridean homeland and James’ western Ireland,” explained Macdonald. “It was a part of the fabric of everyday life and it came to America with the immigrants a century ago. Now, we’re playing it again, to audiences for whom it could only be a generational memory. We could not grow away from those sounds so we have preserved them as accurately and authentically as we can, in our performances.”

You can hear the music when these talented troubadours bring it to you. Tickets cost $12 general admission and $10 for seniors and are available at the door. Visit www.menofworth.com.

PUBLISHED: Western World- August 14, 2014(ID-20257721) NOTICE OF DEFAULT, ELECTION TO SELL, AND NOTICE OF SALE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the undersigned Trustee elects to foreclose the following Deed of Trust by advertisement and sale proceedings and to

Deed of Trust dated August 5, 2005, given by Patrick Anthony Lowe and Karen Lee Lowe as Grantor to First American Title Insurance Company as Trustee for the benefit of Sterling Savings Bank and recorded in the official records of Coos County, Oregon, on August 10, 2005, as Document No. 2005-12029.

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.

DATED this 25th day of April, 2014.

The present Beneficiary, Umpqua Bank, as successor in interest by merger to Sterling Savings Bank, has appointed Ky Fullerton, an active member of the Oregon State Bar, as successor Trustee. The successor Trustee’s mailing address is: 1 S.W. Columbia Street, Suite 1200, Portland, Oregon 97258.

The following property is covered by the Deed of Trust: See Exhibit “A” attached, which is incorporated herein by reference.

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 $95,615.35 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 September 24, 2014, at the hour of 3:30 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 86.778. 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 allowed 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.

tobacco usage rate remains unchanged.

“Tobacco use is a kid’s disease that continues on into their adult life,” he said. “Eighty to 90 percent of long-term smokers started before they graduated high school.”

It’s Coos County’s culture that makes a recipe for poor health. Tobacco use is more accepted and considered normal here due to perception, he said.

When asked what percentage of adults smoke, local kids typically say 80 to 90 percent, he said. In reality, only 26 percent of Coos County adults are regular smokers, according to the 2014 County

Health Rankings & Roadmaps report.

“You notice people doing things more than you notice people not doing things,” he said.

Statewide, tobacco use is less than half of what it was at its peak in the 1960s. At that time, smokers were found in every sector of society.

Today, it’s “a disease of the poor and disenfranchised.”

County Health Rankings reflects that unfortunate reality. The healthiest counties in Oregon are urban and well-educated. In terms of overall health, Coos County ranks 28th out of the 33 counties that reported data this year for

patient care,” he said.

“Obesity has skyrocketed, not because our genetics have changed; our environment has changed. It’s the same with tobacco use rates. It has to do with the tobacco use environment.”

One in four deaths in Coos County are directly related to tobacco use, according to the county’s public health department.

“Tobacco use is the single biggest cause of disease, death and disability,” he said. “You say that, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

“Imagine if anything else caused death of those proportions. Imagine if plane or car crashes were killing as many people as

tobacco does. It would get our attention.”

Oregon gets millions of dollars every biennium from the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, but it’s never been used for tobacco control. After advocates made a push for the funds to be used in anti-smoking efforts during the 2013 legislative session, a round of Strategies for Policy and Environmental Change, or SPArC, tobacco-free grants were announced.

Lane County received one of them, and Brown will administer the tobacco prevention programs that fall under the grant.

“Prevention is a very difficult concept for the human psyche,” he said.

adequate supply of high quality water for drinking and fire protection, proptreat the erly community’s sewage and provide safe and dependable electrical service, Winkel said.

“The Water Resource Committee has researched and studied this issue and it’s really vital to Bandon that this be passed,” said Councilor Nancy Drew at the council meeting. “We are at a point where we are pulling money from other things. I don’t think anyone wants to turn on their faucet one day and not have water. It’s very important.”

Taylor said he understands the council’s plight and that he’d vote for a rate increase for water system improvements, but would not vote to give the city rate-setting authority because the city hasn’t been prudent with its finances.

“I don’t think you’ll ever get it,” Taylor said.

icant movement is detected, according to a press release from USFWS. Visible, weatherproof movement indicators will be installed across all joints on the stairs and monitored for movement on a weekly basis and after any measurable rain event, the release stated.

Movement of any joints more than one quarter inch will require permanent closure of the stairs.

The stairs must also be closed prior to any “significant” forecasted rain event. On Nov. 1, the stairs will be closed indefinitely until a more detailed structural and geotechnical investigation is conducted

and a long term maintenance or replacement plan is developed.

“The safety of refuge visitors and employees continues to be our top priority,” said Roy Lowe, project leader for the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which manages Coquille Point. “We are very sorry for the inconvenience this closure has created for visitors to Coquille Point. I can assure visitors that we will seek expertise and funding to either repair or replace the stairs so we can continue to give visitors easy access to the beach.”

The stairs have provided visitors with access to Bandon beach and

rocky intertidal areas at the base of Elephant Rock since their construction in 1998. Coquille Point is managed as part of Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. It is a spectacular place to observe seabirds and harbor seals. The point overlooks a series of coastal rocks of every shape and size that provide habitat for common murre, tufted puffin, western gull and Brandt’s cormorant as well as harbor seal and rocky intertidal invertebrates.

A paved trail winds over the headland and features new interpretive panels that share stories about the area’s wildlife.

Making a difference Southern Coos Hospital emergency room registered nurse Pam Lewis is congratulated by Dr. Edward Piepmeier, emergency room physician. A patient honored Lewis with a Make a Difference donation to Southern Coos Health Foundation for the care she was given, writing, “I was so scared entering the ER with both A-fib and blood clots in both legs and lungs. Your presence was a huge comfort to me that day. Bless you!!” Foundation Director Melody Gillard-Juarez presented Lewis with a Starfish pin, the symbol of the Make a Difference program, which provides a way for patients to commend a hospital employee for appreciated care and service.

“If someone becomes addicted to something at 14 and it kills them when they’re 52, that’s just as tragic as if that 52-year-old crashed their car into a tree. That’s something that we need to see, is the violence of addicting a child to tobacco. That long-term tragic consequence doesn’t catch our attention, but it’s still there.”

meeting regularly to discuss options regarding the Ferry Creek dam, of which the city has water rights, but the dam is owned by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. ODFW, which runs the Bandon Fish Hatchery just below the dam, has said the costs of repairs are prohibitive.

The committee is working with the city’s engineering firm on a recommendation that the city build a reservoir to store water rather than taking on the expense of repairing the dam spillway and dredging the Ferry Creek reservoir. The recommendation will require a hearing and approval by the City Council.

It has not yet been determined where funds will come from to build the reservoir.

All of the funds from the proposed up-to-5percent-per-year increase will be used exclusively to provide an Bandon Western

Practice starts Monday Bandon Western World

Kennons shine in junior tournaments

By John Gunther Bandon Western World

REEDSPORT — Cassie Kennon waited and waited, watching her older brothers play in golf tournaments, until her eighth birthday last month.

The Oregon Golf Association has a number of junior tournaments during the summer in many parts of the state. The younger age for them, though, is 8.

So Cassie was thrilled last week to get to play in all three of the Umpqua Dairy Juniors tournaments on the South Coast — at Bandon Crossings, Watson Ranch near Coos Bay and Forest Hills Country Club in Reedsport.

Cassie and older brother Jackson, 13, won the tournaments at both Bandon Crossings and Forest Hills, while finishing second at Watson Ranch. Scotty, 11, the middle sibling in terms of age, also competed in all three events.

Cassie has followed in the footsteps of her successful older

brothers — all three already have a hole-in-one on their resume.

“It’s fun,” she said of why she likes golf. “You get to play against people.”

Cassie plays in the pee wee division, specifically the 8-9 age group. Last week, she shot a 57 for nine holes at Bandon Crossings to beat Cierra Ferguson of Lake Oswego by two strokes.

At Watson Ranch, the results were reversed, with Ferguson shooting a 59 and Cassie a 62. At Forest Hills, Cassie came out on top again with a 62, to Ferguson’s 65. In Reedsport, they played with Chloe Tarkany of Bend, who was in the next age group up and shot a 64.

Cassie said she was happy to win two of the three tournaments, especially the one in Reedsport after she took an 11 on one hole.

“I did actually play pretty good,” she said.

While Cassie is new to the tournament game, Jackson and Scotty Kennon both have had a

successful summer with wins that included the big match play tournament the Oregon Junior Amateur.

Last week, Jackson had the best round of any player at Forest Hills, a 1-over 73 to win the intermediate (12-13) age group by two shots.

“I played pretty well,” he said of a round that included five birdies, one with a 60-foot putt from off the green on his 16th hole.

Jackson also won at Bandon Crossings with a 73, which was only bested by a golfer in the junior (16-17) age group.

At Watson Ranch, he birdied the 18th hole to match Elliott Goulet of Milwaukie with a 78, but Goulet won in a scorecard playoff that was determined using the players’ scores starting with the most difficult hole.

Jackson said playing close to home is fun, though he added, “You definitely feel a little more pressure.”

Scotty said he felt a lot of pressure to do well after winning

nearly all his earlier tournaments.

He placed third in the pee wee boys (10-11) age group at both Bandon Crossings and second at Watson Ranch and said the week was a good learning experience.

“I think over the summer winning all the majors, I thought I could just show up and win,” he said. “This gives me a little working incentive because if I don’t work hard, people can beat me.”

The first two days, Scotty blamed his ball-striking for his struggles.

“I couldn’t hit a green to save my life,” he said. “And I’ve never had a very stellar short game.”

A couple of other Bandonarea players also competed in the event at Bandon Crossings.

Matt Shirley was second in the junior division and Carter Brown was third in the pee wee boys (89) age group.

One of the biggest highlights of the day came from Bandon Crossings regular Brennan Eilek of Gold Beach, who had a holein-one.

The Chinook bite is on in Gold Beach Local lakes: Trout fishing has continued to be slow, but anglers can still catch trout in deeper water.

Fishing is typically best in the early morning and evenings. Trout anglers are having the best success trolling Wedding Ring spinners or other types of spinners tipped with bait.

Anglers are still reporting excellent pan fish and largemouth bass fishing up in Tenmile Lakes. One angler caught a yellow perch that was just shy of the 2-pound, 3ounce state record. Most anglers are catching yellow perch on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a nightcrawler.

Local rivers : Chinook fishing turned on in the estuary at Gold Beach. Larry from the Rogue Outdoor Store told us anglers caught 50 to 60 Chinook on Sunday and Monday in the lower bay.

Water temperatures are increasing and flows are dropping so anglers can expect Chinook to continue stacking up in the bay. Adult steelhead and half-pounders are moving upriver, but warm water is making it tough getting them to bite. Anglers are picking up summer steelhead casting spinners or fly fishing.

Fall Chinook fishing on the lower Coquille River is slowly picking up.

Anglers are picking up Chinook trolling herring or anchovies.

Monday, anglers reported catching a couple of Chinook in the bay trolling past Weber’s Pier.

The Chinook are starting to move upriver from the mouth of Coos Bay. Anglers reported catching fish up near the train trestle.

FISHING Several 30- to 40REPORT pound Chinook have been caught in the Coos Bay estuary.

Fall Chinook fishing has been decent on the lower Umpqua River. Local guide Rick Howard TONY ROSZKOWSKI reported helping his clients land 4 Chinook last Saturday and 4 on Monday. fi c Ocean: Scott from the Pacific Chetco Outdoor Store told me that the ocean salmon fishing out of the Port of Brookings has picked back up again. The fish have been holding in deeper water where down

riggers have been necessary. This Friday and Saturday the central coast summer all-depth halibut fishery will reopen. During the first opening, 17,788 pounds were landed, this leaves approximately 30,000 pounds remaining. fish: Dungeness crab Area shellfis fishing has remained good in Bandon. Lots of competition on Weber’s Pier has made it tough during the day, but crabbers coming out in the early morning and evenings have been doing well.

Boaters are still catching limits of Dungeness crab out in the bay. Last Saturday, Jason Beedle of Bandon won $100 cash in the third drawing of the Bandon Crab Derby. Other prizes were donated from Cranberry Sweets, Minute Cafe, Port of Bandon and Bandon Sweets & Treats. As of Monday, 40 tagged crab out of the first 78 were entered into the derby.

Oregon jobless rate 6.9 percent PORTLAND (AP) — The state Employment Department says Oregon’s jobless rate was 6.9 percent in July, up from 6.8 percent in June. The agency says employers added 200 jobs, following a revised loss of 3,000 jobs in June.

ATV crashes injure 3 COOS BAY — ATV crashes injured three people in Coos County last weekend, including two girls.

The Coos County Sheriff’s Office says a 43year-old woman was taken to Bay Area Hospital with a possible head injury Sunday night after she rolled her ATV at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.

That same night, law enforcement responded to an ATV crash on North Lake Road in Lakeside.

The sheriff’s office says a 13-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl were riding an ATV down the gravel portion of the road when they lost control and went over an embankment. They were tossed from the ATV and landed about 30 to 50 feet down the embankment.

Summer is almost over for high school athletes on the South Coast.

The official start for fall practice is Monday throughout Oregon.

Bandon’s volleyball, football and cross country teams will get to work for good, though most of the athletes have been involved in team camps in recent days.

The Oregon School Activities Association has a new rule this year that restricts daily doubles to every other day.

That’s not an issue for the cross country or volleyball teams, which plan single practices next week.

The volleyball team will hold a three-hour practice starting at 3 p.m.

The cross country team will meet at 5.

As for football, Bandon will go from 911:30 a.m. every day next week.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the team will have a second workout from 2:30-5 p.m.

The Pacific soccer team will go from 4-7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to noon Friday.
