Youth Center board closes thrift store

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — The Bandon Community Youth Center Board of Directors has closed Our Thrift Store, a facility originally set up more than eight years ago to train students in job skills and provide income for the Youth Center.

Board chairman Angie GonzalesSmith said the store was closed Tuesday and one full-time worker and one parttime worker were given two weeks severance pay. The staff has known the board has considered closing the store since June, Smith said.

Potential buyers have made an offer, but the deal has not yet been finalized.

The Youth Center remains closed, but the board plans to open it in January with a slate of free programs geared for youths ages 13-18.

Former Youth Center Director Ollie Jones was asked to resign last spring, and Smith, along with then-board members Chris Powell and Mellis See, recruited an new board. Powell and See’s terms expired in June.

Board members now include Smith, vice chairman John Ohanesian, secretary Kim Russell, treasurer Gina Allison, Karen Luther, Chris Schneider, Bill Stenberg, Jeana Kennon and Al Greenfield.

Harbor Lights ranks among model schools

Burned out The softball dugout on 11th Street, which was refurbished last spring, was set on fire two times Oct. 9.

Suspect sought after softball dugout burned BANDON — On Thursday, Oct. 9, the Bandon Fire Department was dispatched two times to a fire at the softball dugout located on 11th Street Southwest.

According to the Bandon Police Department, the first call came in at approximately 7:43 p.m. and the fire was extinguished with minimal damage. The second call came in at approximately 10:07 p.m., and that fire resulted in extensive damage.

Bandon Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect, described as a young man who was seen in the area around that time.

Anyone with information can call Bandon Police at 541-347-2241, and remain anonymous, if desired.

BANDON — The report cards are in, and Bandon’s Harbor Lights Middle School has, for the six straight year, been given the highest rating possible by the state.

HLMS, along with North Bend’s Hillcrest Elementary both achieved “model school” designations on the Oregon Report Card 2013-14, despite rampant child poverty rates.

HLMS and Hillcrest were two of 28 highpoverty schools to earn “model school” designation, meaning they’ve shown significant academic improvement despite their high poverty status.

Students fall into the “economically disadvantaged” category if they qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

During the 2013-2014 school year: ■ 84.5 percent of Harbor Lights and 78.2 percent of Hillcrest students passed reading.

■ 80.1 percent of Harbor Lights and 76.8 percent of Hillcrest students passed math.

■ 85.1 percent of Harbor Lights students passed science (there wasn’t information for Hillcrest).

The state rated HLMS a Level 5 compared to other schools, which factored into the model school designation. A Level 5 falls into the top 10 percent of all schools.

“Harbor Lights Middle School students are obtaining higher results on standardized tests in reading and math than other middle schools with similar demographics in Oregon and we are so proud,” wrote HLMS Principal Michelle Inskeep on the Oregon Report Card, which will be sent to parents on an upcoming progress report.

Bandon’s garbage rates are going up 2.1 percent

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — The Bandon City Council voted 5-1 to approve a 2.1 percent increase in garbage rates at its Oct. 6 meeting.

Councilor Mike Claassen voted against the increase.

A hearing on the proposed rate increase was required per Bandon Municipal Code. The adjustment will result in an about 35 cent increase per month for a basic 35 gallon residential cart, with other rates adjusted proportionately.

Bill Richardson, representing Bandon Disposal, answered questions at the hearing. Richardson said the rate is based on the Portland Consumer Price Index, which is currently at 2.8 percent.

The last rate adjustment was a 1.66 percent increase on Nov. 1, 2013.

Councilor Brian Vick asked Richardson about tipping fees and whether the local refuse is going to the Beaver Hill site.

Richardson said the company takes some of the load to Beaver Hill and the

BANDON — Turn on your imagination and visualize you are in the ancient city of Thebes in Egypt, modern-day Luxor. A group of archeologists has just discovered a new tomb.

The tomb is believed to be the final resting site of the Priestess Iset, a Princess of the 20th Dynasty.

She is known for her unusual abilities to cast spells and create deadly curses. Iset is the daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep the Third who was a feared and hated ruler. He buries Iset alive in her tomb so she will always remain vigilant as a guardian of the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. All who pass by her tomb may fall under her spell as they enter the Valley; it is even worse for those who enter her

tomb.

Twenty-two young actors from the New Artists Productions program will take the Sprague Community Theater stage to unfold the story and to solve the mysteries of Iset.

Presenting the story of “The Guardian” are Nathan Woodruff, Dustin Wilson; Russell, Natalie, and Isabella Jones; Nathan Malamud, Marisa Smith, Alyssa Matas; Sarai and Hannah Perkins, Kayla Dugan, Kylie Gomes, Rachel Etzel, Natalie Vincent; Megan, Adam, and Henry Wood; Kristina Allen, Carter Precourt, Elli Schulz and McKenzie Martin. These young actors reside in Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, Langlois, North Bend and Sixes.

In the 1940s and ’50s, safer and more effective anesthetics were developed.

The Diana Brown You Never Knew

M

Happy on a walk at the South Slough the day before the news of a brain tumor.

y friend died on Sunday, Sept. 14th, just three and one half months after receiving the devastating news that she had an aggressive, inoperable brain tumor. She got the news the day after a wonderful outing to the South Slough

where she loved being with the “elementals” and all of nature.

She was at home in nature and loved all of the smells, sounds and light. I have never known anyone to who felt so fully alive and at one with the beauty around her.

Few, knew that Diana was an incredible artist, someone who imagined beauty and then made it happen. Julia Cameron, the author of The Artist’s Way, has said that art is a spiritual transaction and that, “…artists are visionaries and that they routinely practice a form of faith and seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance—often visible to them, but invisible to those around them.”

By Deborah Maher

Diana was an incredible painter whose work had a mystical and whimsical quality to it, drawing you in and leading you to imagine a higher spiritual self.

She was a beekeeper and harvested jars of raw honey that can be kept for years and years. She was a bird watcher and treasured the wide array of colorful birds that came to her backyard. She was a magic maker who created joy and a sense of peace and playfulness in her garden. She loved the ’60s music and had an amazing collection of records and a turntable to go with it; she loved to dance. She loved animals and most especially her beloved dog Peach, a bluepoint heeler. Often you

could see her on long walks along the boardwalk and then up through her neighborhood.

She loved homegrown, pure food, and she reveled in the smells and tastes of a variety of lettuce and greens (hard to believe, but true!)

You may have known her as an activist, truth teller, rabble-rouser or troublemaker, but one thing is for sure, she was fearless and outspoken when it came to the rights of kids, her neighbors struggling with water run-off from a city street, ethics and transparency in local government, true citizen participation and engagement, and a secure water supply. She believed in community and maintaining the specialness of this place.

She loved the ocean, this amazing air, the people and all the possibility the future offers.

She had an artist’s vision for making Bandon a kind and fair community for all.

I will miss my friend, but like many people, I am grateful that I had the chance to really know her and am the better for it. She will always be a dear friend.

Diana is survived by her loving sons Jack Brown Allen and his wife, Holly, two grandchildren Lily and Henry; and her son Drew Allen who lives in Costa Rica. She also is survived by two sisters who reside in Oklahoma and a number of loving friends throughout the U.S.

City needs to make a better argument On this year’s election ballot Bandon residents will be asked to make a decision that could impact their utility rates for years to come.

Ballot measure 6-150 asks voters to give back to the city council authority to set utility rates, specifically the ability to increase rates for water, electric and sewer service by no more than 5 percent each per year.

The vote is an authorization only; it doesn’t carry an immediate increase. A yes vote simply gives that option back to the city council, which was lost when voters took it away some two decades ago.

So, what’s the reason for the request now? What’s the need?

Well, the reasons seems to be pretty vague. The idea originated with the Water Resource Committee, a sevenmember body that advised the city council and city manager on water issues.

The measure’s summary says the increase would, “help provide adequate funds for properly operating and maintaining the utility systems ...”

What Bandon residents are paying isn’t adequate now?

We don’t doubt that operation costs rise, and unforeseen costs pop up. And when those issues have occurred, seems the city has gotten the revenue support it needed from residents. Voters approved two general obligation bonds

of nearly $1.2 million for water plant improvements in 2006. Sewer rates were increased in 2011 and electric rates were increased just this year.

But, as with the case of the bonds, voters knew then exactly what the need was and could make an informed decision. This measure isn’t the least bit specific.

Is there a project the city wants to undertake? What is it and what’s its cost? Are their maintenance needs that exceed current funding? What are they and what’s the price tag?

If voters don’t approve this measure, the city still has the options of seeking additional, specific rate increases in the future; or, in the case of capital projects,

asking the voters to approve a bond.

This issue seems to be of some great importance to the water committee that originated it, since all members have resigned in order to advocate publicly for the measure.

We feel, however, that what they are advocating is for voters to give the city what amounts to a blank check. This measure carries none of the specificity of previous asks for funds. This measure is open-ended. Rate increases could be set and imposed before voters could change the makeup of the city council in another election.

We recommend a “no” vote on this measure. The city needs to make a better argument than it’s presented.

Letters Winkel deserves kudos I recently read in the paper that Matt Winkel was retiring from his long-held position as city manager for the city of Bandon. So often we see letters to the editor voicing complaints or negative views about things. I didn’t want to let the opportunity pass to write a positive letter in this regard.

I worked for Matt as finance director for the city of Bandon in 2003 and 2004. As a point of reference, I had, before that time, worked for two cities in California and one other city in Oregon over a period of about 12 years, and with five other city managers.

In my experience, Matt did the best job as chief executive officer, in that he always kept in mind that he worked for the elected officials of the city. It didn’t matter who happened to be the mayor or members of the City Council at the time. He always did his best to implement their objectives.

I hope that the city of Bandon appreciates Matt’s efforts; and I wish him a long and healthy retirement.

Thanks to volunteers The Parks and Recreation Commission would like to thank volunteers Jason Beedle, Chris Chappell, James McLeod, Connor James McLeod and Chris Partee for installing pavers and creating two disc golf tee pads in City Park.

Your dedication and hard work have provided needed improvements to the course and will allow users to enjoy the course for years to come.

Special thanks to Commissioner Donny Goddard for his vital coordination of and contribution to this project. Because he provided the use of his vehicle to ensure that the materials were ready and the sites prepped in advance, the event ran smoothly!

Smaller events related to the NYC march occurred in Eugene and even Port Orford.

While climate change is not going to be the main event this November, the election will have significant implications for our country’s role in the climate change debate for the next several years. President Obama is trying to do his part through domestic rules to reduce carbon dioxide from coal plants; a small step in the right direction. As usual, Republicans are trying to block him.

This year Art Robinson, the famed climate change denier, is running yet again to replace Congressman Pete DeFazio. Not only does Art Robinson not believe in the scientific consensus that carbon pollution is heating the planet, he actually said reducing carbon pollution would hurt the planet. That’s right — reducing pollution is bad for the planet.

Congressman DeFazio has used his knowledge of how Washington works to bring much benefit to the residents of District 4. The 7,000-8,000 veterans in Coos County should remember that DeFazio was instrumental in keeping the Roseburg VA hospital open, when VA headquarters in Washington, D.C., wanted the hospital closed.

DeFazio got this area the monies to reopen the coast railroad, benefiting many blue collar workers. He also fast tracked and got money for dredging along the South Oregon coast. He has used his time in Washington to serve our citizens well.

When things get worse economically — and they will get worse; just attend a county commissioners meeting to learn that fact — I want Congress DeFazio as our representative in Washington. He knows how to get things done. He has our backs. We should have his.

DeFazio’s opponent this November has no experience in how Washington works. He would be ineffective at best, destructive at worst. I will take the proven representative over someone with no track record every time. Vote DeFazio.

Coos Bay goes grass-roots New locale for Bandon Pizza First of all I would like to thank the residents of Bandon for their patience and support while waiting for us to re-open after having to leave the Bandon shopping center.

Also, I would like to thank Bandon for its continuing support and patronage at our new location at 1045 Baltimore Ave. SE which is just east of Price ‘N Pride.

We assume it was kids that stole our banner announcing that we are open. I hope it looks good on their wall and that they are enjoying it. No hard feelings.

Donna Jones Owner, Bandon Pizza

Vote DeFazio On Sept. 21 more than 400,000 concerned citizens gathered together in New York City to take part in the People’s Climate March. The participants gathered in front of the United Nations building to make their voices heard during the UN climate change summit.

For context, that’s more than the population of Lane County, which includes the large city of Eugene.

Most citizens of Coos County are too busy with their normal lives and are unable to attend commission meetings. Those who do make time are now labeled “the noisemakers” by Mr. Barton. These “noisemakers” are citizens expressing their constitutional rights to express their opinion on how they are governed and how the county manages it assets. It is “noise” because no one is respectful enough to listen to individuals that take the time to get involved and express an opinion.

“The ultimate objective was to get a professional administrator to run the day-to-day affairs of the county because the commissioners are, first of all, not well-qualified to administer a government of that size and complexity,” Barton said. I find it strange how these unqualified elected officials are qualified to hire a professional administrator who is not responsible to the citizens of the county. This same professional administrator would hire all individuals currently elected except for the sheriff and commissioners. He would also have a “golden parachute” attached to his employment contract.

“I think home rule is a good thing,” said Commissioner Melissa Cribbins. “It reflects the individual characteristics of a county. But I’m concerned in this case that it’s small groups of people with individual interests.” The charter’s specificity also makes Commissioner John Sweet think it’s geared toward individual interests, rather than countywide needs. Mr. Sweet also claims “it’s attempt to undermine the concept of representative government.”

I say just the opposite is true. It requires that our elected representatives be responsible and responsive to the citizens who elect them. I challenge anyone to find any item in the charter that would benefit any one special interest group. There are no “special interest” groups funding this issue. It is strictly a “grass roots” movement.

How (Ronnie) Herne and (Jaye) Bell are doing it, by putting it to the voters, is the only method that private citizens can address the issue under state law. “The current board of commissioners has repeatedly denied Herne and Bell’s requests to consider their charter specifically.”

“Voice of the Voters” is the only avenue citizens have to give guidance to the commissioners on how they (the citizens) are to be governed.

Respectfully, a Coos County concerned citizen.

Theo Stanley Bandon

city would require a modest monthly cost rather than the many thousands of dollars needed to dig a new well or repair a costly septic field when these problems arose.

The utility rates charged by the town split the costs of maintaining and upgrading our good utilities proportionately among the users. Approving 6-150 will allow the City Council and city manager to do the job they were elected or hired to do. If we do not like what they are doing, we can get rid of them.

The 5 percent rate increase, that the City Council would put in place, will only cost me 68 cents each month. My neighbor, who uses 2.5 times more water would have to pay 87 cents more each month. The city would then begin building reserves so that it could afford the backup emergency generators, which are needed by the water and sewer plants so that, should we loose power from Bonneville because of winter wind storms or earthquakes knock out the power lines, the city would still be able to operate our water and sewer plants.

Without backup generators in place, loss of electric power means no water will run out of your faucets and the waste water plant will be dumping raw sewage into the Coquille River. Dumping raw sewage into the river results in massive fines from the state, no matter the cause. Vote “Yes” on Measure 6-150.

Patricia Soltys Bandon

Keep increases in voters’ hands Some roadside signs say (i.e. vote yes on 6-150) “just the facts.”

Well, the facts of how this measure 6-150 will impact your utility bill over a period of time are: Assume your current City of Bandon utility bill averages $100/month, applying a 5 percent increase annually means in five years your bill will be approximately $128/month; in 10 years approximately $163/month; in 15 years approximately $208/month and in 20 years approximately $265/month and it will continue to skyrocket because of the compounding effect of a 5 percent annual increase over time.

It’s just how compounding works. Ask any accountant or banker how compounding works.

Nobody is against adequate clean water or other utility services, but measure 6-150 doesn’t guarantee adequate clean water or utility services, it just given the few (i.e. City Council) the right to increase your utility bill 5 percent annually with no specific accountability or guarantee of how utility services will be improved.

Nothing prohibits the City Council from bringing a bond measure before the voters for their approval to make clear and specific improvements to utility infrastructure where you can vote Yes or No. A “No” vote on 6-150 keeps utility rate increases in the hands of you, the voters of Bandon, and not in the hands of the few (i.e. the City Council).

Francis Stadelman Bandon

Think, then vote ‘yes’ on 6-150 My hat is off to the Bandon Water Resource Committee. They followed their conscience and did the right thing when they resigned from the Water Resource Committee so they could campaign to return the ability to set rates for the utilities to the City Council.

It is time that people with knowledge of the importance of Measure 6-150 take a firm stand to try to make people understand how important it is to return the authority to set rates to the City Council.

I was on the council when the voters passed the measure that now requires a vote of the public before the rates can be increased. I wanted the city to challenge the measure in the courts as I could not believe that any reasonable person could believe that any Coos Bay business could operate if they had to ask their customers to approve prices for their product and yet that is the burden we have put on our city.

Please think about this carefully before you vote and vote “yes”” on Measure 6-150.

Barbara Dodrill Bandon

Voting no, again, on home rule ‘Yes’ on 6-150 I chose to live in the city of Bandon because I did not want to have to take care of the well for my water or the septic field for my waste water. I knew that living in a

“Just how stupid do they think the voters are?” asks Ronnie Herne in her recent letter urging support for the Home Rule Charter Amendment. She’ll find out soon enough that we’re not nearly as dumb as she must wish we are. I’ll be joining the majority in voting no ... again.

Records nication when a patient receives services in multiple medical offices.

Making the switch from paper to electronic recording has great potential to make work flow and patient care more efficient, said Megan Sweet, clinical operations manager for Coast Community Health Center.

“The system has tools to coordinate care with other providers. Since we’re in such a rural area, it will help us with referrals for patients who need to see specialists,” she said.

Mandy Calvert is director of information systems Southern Coos for Hospital & Health Center.

She says the portability of electronic records can also improve patients’ safety when they’re away from home. Access to information such as allergies to medications can be a few clicks away.

“It is a great tool if you’re traveling and need to seek medical care,” she said.

Just because physicians are maintaining electronic records does not mean patient history is automatically shared.

Since electronic records are subject to the same HIPAA regulations as paper charts, patients must authorize sharing of information between medical providers.

“As a patient, you have the right to disclose, or not disclose, your information,” said Calvert.

To protect patient information, health records are encrypted and stored via secure, independent web servers.

Patients will need to provide an email address to register. Proof of identification, with a photo ID, is required to complete the registration process. Most health facilities provide the online service free for registered patients.

There’s good reason for local health care providers to adopt EHR technology this year.

Medicare and Medicaid provide financial incentives to organizations who demonstrate successful EHR implementation ahead of the federal compliance deadline. The incentive deadline for hospitals and primary care clinics to complete the first stage of implementation is Dec. 31.

Incentive dollars are offered in stages, with benchmarks outlined for meaningful use. Patient objectives centered include improvement in health care quality, safety and efficiency; care coorand overall dination public health. EHR tools should also engage patients in their own health care while ensuring privacy and security of patient information.

Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center is on track to meet compliance and earn incentive dollars, according to CEO Charles Johnston. The financial kick-back is a welcome

gic plan for the center, which can be used to apply for grants. The center, a private 501 (c)(3) is not publicly funded, but receives funds through grants, donations and fundraisers.

The property is owned by the Bandon School District and leased to the board for a nominal fee.

“We’re excited about the future of the Youth Center,” Smith told the Bandon City Council during a recent update on the center.

Smith said the thrift store, which was gifted to the Youth Center by the late Margaret Gorman, a former board member, did create a net revenue of about $15,000 but also had a $60,000 second mortgage and line of credit taken out by a previous board.

In addition, the time it took to manage the store, along with maintenance, taxes and other expenses outweighed the yearly revenue that was created.

“We decided as a board that we’re in the Youth Center business, not the thrift store business,” Smith

said. “The thrift store takes an immense amount of oversight and the (future) program director for the Youth Center doesn’t have time to do that.”

The revenue from the sale will allow the Youth Center to have at least two years of operating expenses and allows time to get other funding in place. A part-time paid director will be sought.

“There’s a lot in the works,” Smith said, including six-week blocks of free youth-related workshops starting Jan. 12, led by community volunteers.

Some of the programming for the six-week blocks will include golf, a Teen Idol competition with vocal coaching, knitting, bicycle care, improvisation, a comedy workshop, basic theater skills workshop, a Judge Judy and the Law workshop on conflict resolution, cooking with Chef Bob from Edgewaters, financial skills for youth and more, as well as dances

Future plans include mentors and homework help by trained volunteers in collaboration with the school district, as well as activities involving younger children and families.

“We have to start somewhere,” Smith said. “We can’t do it all, but we’ll open the doors and build from there.”

Smith said the board is considering charging a minimal annual fee, similar to a Boys & Girls Club model, but wouldn’t turn anyone away.

“In order to facilitate real change, difficult decisions needed to be made,” Smith said. “Our board feels we are moving in the right direction and are not focusing on what was or wasn't done in the past, but creating something new and viable for the youth of Bandon.”

“This is an honest effort to see the Youth Center survive and thrive,” board member Kim Russell said.

Schools Bandon High School dropped from an overall rating of Level 4 to a Level 3 in the 2013-14 school year, which falls between 15 and 44 percent of schools.

“A state rating of Level 3 is an average academic level, which means our students are performing about average overall compared to schools with students in similar demographics,” wrote BHS Principal Sabrina Belletti.

■ from Page A1 “Reading continues to be a strength in our district, and our focus on student writing standards has reflected student growth in this area. Our math department implemented common core state standards in our classrooms, which lead to an increased rigor in our student math curriculum.”

Ocean Crest Elementary School received an overall Level 4 statewide comparison,

which falls between 44 and 90 percent of all schools. In the 2012-13 school year, Ocean Crest was rated a Level 3.

Ocean Crest students performed above average (Level 4) in reading achievement and about average (Level 3) with math achievement, wrote Ocean Crest Principal MaryRae Anderson.

“All of our teachers are continuing to focus on reading while also putting emphasis on math concepts and basic skills,” Anderson wrote.

“The use of learning labs where students can get assistance with homework during the school day, as well as having access to after-school classes, extracurricular programs and service learning projects all help our students succeed,” said Bandon Schools Superintendent Diane Buche.

Buche said the district’s small size helps students feel valued with a lot of one-on-one interaction.

assistants, to the teachers, to the administrators, work diligently to provide a positive, productive learning environment for our students,” she said.

Last school year, Coos Bay’s alternative schools — Destinations Academy Link and Resource Charter School — had the highest student poverty rates on the South Coast: 95 percent. Lighthouse School and Oregon Coast Technology School in North Bend, on the other hand, had the lowest: 33 and 35 percent, respectively.

“These Model Schools show us that all of Oregon’s schools can experience incredible success,” Saxton said in a news release. “All students can learn and achieve at high levels, despite high poverty, high student mobility, and a range of other challenges.

We can learn from these schools as we continue to improve our P-20 system to increase student outcomes across the state.”

The class size debate continues as school districts try to balance classes with increasing enrollment but little room to expand. South Coast schools ranged from an average of 14 students in a Powers Elementary class to an average of 29 students in a Coquille Valley class, Intermediate according to the report.

The governor has touted his 40-40-20 plan and directed state education agencies to plan and fund accordingly. It calls for a 100 percent high school graduation rate by 2025, with 40 percent going on to get a bachelor’s degree and 40 percent getting an associate degree.

But the South Coast has room to improve, with education continuing rates constantly lower than high school graduation rates. While 80 percent of Bandon highschoolers graduated in 2011-12 with a regular diploma within four years of entering high school, only 65 percent went on to postsecondary education within 16 months of graduation.

Go Native

Open house a success

The Bandon business community presented a triptych of open house and Bandon Chamber of Commerce ribbon cuttings the week of Sept. 15. Bandon Mercantile Company owners Ed and Beth Wood dedicated exterior space at the Mercantile, visible to southbound traffic on U.S. Highway 101, for a mural created by Bandon High School students with direction from Vicki Affatati. The mural highlights native plants for a public art display to promote the BHS Go Native horticulture program led by Darcy Grahek.

Tigers give Pickett win on senior night Bandon Western World

By Lou Sennick, Bandon Western World

Beating the pressure Bandon quarterback Quentin Coomer barely gets the ball away as he is hit by Myrtle Point’s Justin Kohl during their recent game. Coomer passed for 319 yards and five touchdowns in Friday’s win over Waldport.

Bandon gets win at Waldport Bandon Western World

Bandon’s football team got back on track in a big way Friday, beating Waldport 50-22.

That set up a game Friday in Bandon against Sunset Conference coleader Toledo.

In Friday’s win over the Irish, the Tigers build a 20-6 lead after the first quarter and then scored three straight touchdowns in the second.

“We jumped out to an early lead against Waldport,” Bandon coach Silia Polamalu said. “We thought it would be a tougher game than it was, but the Waldport kids never stopped playing hard.”

Polamalu found a lot to be happy with.

“Even though we didn’t play the mistake-free game I wanted us to play,

we did a lot of good things,” he said. “We had a bunch of explosion plays on offense. We had seven plays of 30 yards or more and a few more called back.”

Bandon quarterback Quentin Coomer completed 14 of 30 passes for 319 yards and the Tigers also rushed for 136 yards in the first half.

“Those are the kind of offensive numbers we need to have against the rest of the opponents we have on our schedule,” Polamalu said. had five Coomer touchdown passes — two to James Hammons and one each to Shannon Forty, Trae Dyer and Ben Strain.

Hammons added a touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

“The second half was played by our JV guys and

game a week earlier.

“They matched up pretty evenly against our only shared opponent, so I like our chances in this game,” Polamalu said. “I think it is going to be a tough game. The weather is going to make our field soft, so it is going to be a mess out there late in the game.

“The keys for this game are going to be controlling the line of scrimmage, capitalizing on opportunities and eliminating mistakes.”

After this week, the Tigers visit Reedsport and then finish the regular season at home against defending league champion Gold Beach.

Like the Panthers, the Braves reached the playoffs last fall.

non-starters mostly,” Polamalu said. “That was a good experience for those guys.”

The Tigers might not have the luxury of playing the younger players much in varsity games the rest of the season.

“This week starts a tough run of three games for us,” Polamalu said. “It has become clear that Toledo is a good football team.

“They were really an unknown coming into this season. They have some explosive receivers, physical linemen and a backfield that runs hard.”

Last week, Toledo beat Myrtle Point, pulling away from the Bobcats with a late score. Myrtle Point had beaten the Tigers in a low-scoring

The Harbor Lights football team had another dominant win Tuesday, beating Siuslaw 53-6.

The Panthers had 310 rushing yards and 121 passing yards, again with multiple players scoring touchdowns in what Pickett Boe coach described as a great team effort.

The Panthers held Siuslaw to 92 total yards and the Harbor Lights defense recovered two fumbles and intercepted three passes, returning two of them for touchdowns.

Harbor Lights hosts Reedsport at 4 p.m. next Tuesday.

“We would love for people to come watch,” Pickett said.

Tuesday was a night of celebration for the Bandon volleyball team, which honored senior Annmarie Pickett before beating Waldport.

“Twas a fun last home game and senior night for Annmarie,” Bandon coach Courtney Freitag said. “The girls had lots of smiles and hugs. “(Assistant coach) Mariah (Vierck) and I just sat back and let them enjoy the moments.”

The Tigers swept the Irish 25-15, 25-10, 25-11 to improve to 5-3 in league play.

Pickett had five aces and nine digs in her final home match.

Raelyn Freitag had 13 kills, two aces and seven digs in the win. Toni Hall had five kills and two stuff blocks. Kaylynn Pickett, Annmarie’s younger sister, had 18 assists, two aces and six digs.

As has been the case all season, the Tigers also enjoyed rousing support from the Bandon students.

“The student section brought on a full force pink out for breast cancer awareness and cheered and clapped us all the way through three sets,”

Courtney Freitag said.

“They rock and we love them for it.”

The win was the second of the week for Bandon, which swept Gold Beach 25-14, 25-21, 25-19 last Thursday.

Raelyn Freitag had six aces 13 kills and seven digs for the Tigers.

Kaylynn Pickett had eight aces, 20 assists and seven digs; Hall had four kills and three stuff blocks; and Annmarie Pickett had six aces and 12 digs.

Bandon faces lastplace Waldport in a road match Thursday and then gets a chance to see several different schools Saturday in the Marshfield Invitational.

“We’re hoping to have a big showing this weekend at Marshfield,” Courtney Freitag said.

The Tigers finish the regular season Tuesday at Reedsport in a big match.

If the Braves fall to Myrtle Point on Thursday and Bandon beats Waldport, the Tigers can tie the Braves for second place, which would force a tiebreaker before the league playoffs. The league will get two berths in the Class 2A playoffs.

“Our sights are set on Reedsport next Tuesday,” Freitag said.

Girls win two meets Bandon Western World

With the district meet a week away, Bandon’s cross country teams appear in good shape to advance to the Class 3A2A-1A state meet.

The Tigers have the top boys team and the second-best girls team in the special district, based on their best times.

They had their final regular-season meet Wednesday at Elmira (results weren’t available by press time) following strong showings at Myrtle Point on Saturday and Port Orford last Wednesday.

Bandon’s girls won the Myrtle Point meet with four of the top seven runners. Freshman Sailor Hutton stayed unbeaten on the season by winning the 5,000-meter race in 18 minutes and 36 seconds. Aida Santoro was second (19:25), Weston Jennings sixth (22:45) and Shelby Tobiska seventh (22:52). Dani Cox rounded out the team’s scoring runners by placing 11th (24:11), with Emily Moore (24:37) and Kori Nemec (24:46) not too far back.

Meet the City Council candidates Chris Powell Age: 48 Years in Bandon: 16 Family: Married 25 years, 3 children, 4 grandchildren Occupation: Own Bandon Baking Company Education: AA Degree in Accounting Past political experience: 2004 - 2008 Bandon City Councilor 2010 - Present Bandon City Councilor 2012 - Present Bandon City Council President 2008 - Present Bandon Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors What do you feel are the most important issues facing the city right now?

One of the more pressing issues facing the city right now is building a new reservoir to secure adequate water for the citizens. Bandon has access to a large supply of water but lacks the ability to store it. Another important issue is the "breaking in" of a new city manager. Bandon has been blessed to have Matt Winkel as its City Chris Powell Manager. Replacing him will not be an easy task and once that person is found, it will be the City Council's responsibility to ensure that he takes care of business. In the past it has been relatively easy to give Matt direction and know that those directions will be followed. The City Council will have to have greater oversight on many issues.

How would you address those issues i f y o u a r e r e - e l ec t e d t o t h e C i t y Council?

Communication is key to everything.

The voters of Bandon make the right decision when presented with all the facts. We need to have town hall meetings, mailers, and possibly going door to door, to get the message out the critical need for an additional reservoir. With the City Managers position, My previous experience as the financial officer of a multi-million dollar business and currently owning and operating a small business in Bandon gives me a good deal

Mike Claassen

of insight on assigning duties and following up on them to make sure they were done correctly. Until a certain level of trust is established with the new City Manager, I believe a great deal of follow up will be required.

What would you like to accomplish if re-elected?

Having a new reservoir built.

Adequate police protection. A healthy city budget. New development in the Woolen Mill area which will bring in family wage jobs. Turning Beach Loop drive into a premiere street. Securing private property protection.

What do you feel is the most important job of a City Councilor?

The most important job of a City Councilor is to listen and be trustworthy. I have people stop me in a store or come into the bakery to share their concerns. It's my job to listen and help them and to bring their point of view to the council meetings. Being trustworthy allows the people to let me take care of the details.

What do you feel the relationship should be between the City Council and the local business community?

The City Council should have a good working relationship with the Chamber and the business community. We are all parts of the same team trying to move Bandon forward. We should do everything we can to attract more businesses to come to Bandon. I don't believe in having a business license, business are taxed too much as it is now.

Anything else you think is important for voters to know before making a deci sion on who to vote for?

I believe that Bandon is an amazing place and possibly the best kept secret on the Oregon coast. An amazing collection of people have been drawn to move here. When we harness the collective skills and experience of our population, there isn't much we can't accomplish. I am a team player willing to work the hours it takes to achieve success. I would love to have the citizens’ vote so I can continue to serve the Bandon community for the next four years.

Peter Braun Age: 45 Years in Bandon: 16 years in Bandon Occupation: Owner of The Cobbler’s Bench Education: Film School at the Northwest Film Institute Past political experience: Founding member of the Old Town Merchants Association; Bandon Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors member; Founding member and on Board of Directors of Greater Bandon Association.

What do you feel are t h e m o s t im p o r t a n t i s s ue s fa c i ng t h e c i t y right now?

The most important issue facing the city of Peter Braun Bandon is the search for the new city manager. All of the other issues facing the city will be addressed, and solved with the help of this new manager. I certainly think that ballot measure 6-150 is of great importance as well.

How would you address those issues if you are elected to the City Council?

If elected to the council I would like to emphasize the need for a strong investment in the infrastructure of our city.

Clean safe water, sanitation, fire, and police protection are absolutely essential

for our city. I would also like to bridge the gap between our city government and the citizen they serve. I feel we have an obligation to engage the citizens of Bandon to help in building our collective future. We can’t do it alone, and many hands make light work.

What do you feel is the most important job of a City Councilor?

In my opinion the most important job of a city councilor is to represent the people of Bandon. Not to advocate for needs of the government, but advocate for the needs of the people and to help in the realization that it is often one and the same.

I feel that our City Council should do everything it can do to help our business community succeed. With a successful business community, we are all stronger.

It not only makes Bandon a more attractive town for tourism, but it is of great importance to the citizens of Bandon. It could potentially mean a living wage job for someone that has been laid off due to cutbacks or the decline of an industry.

Anything else you think is important for voters to know before making a deci sion on who to vote for?

Thank you all for your consideration, it is a privilege, and honor to serve this community, and I look forward to serving the city of Bandon in whatever capacity I can.

Important dates to remember Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 4; Drop-off sites in Bandon: City Hall, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.; Election Day, 8 a.m.-8 p.m.

Age: 69 Years in Bandon: 12. I am 5th generation in Coos County, a native Oregonian.

Family: A nurse daughter, her husband and 5 kids in Maryland. A lawyer daughter, her husband and 2 kids in Texas. A stepson in Roseville, Calif. A mother, five brothers and two sisters.

Occupation: Retired businessman.

I worked in the men's clothing business for 20 years before starting my own clothing store in California. I sold it eight years later to a 20 store chain and became their general manager for the next six years.

With my late wife, started and ran an outsourcing business in financial services that we sold to Smith Barney in 1998.

Education: Graduated from Cal State University, Fresno with a Mike Claassen major in Marketing with a Retail emphasis.

Past political experience: Two terms (eight years) on the Bandon City Council, two of those years as City Council President.

What do you feel are the most important issues facing the city right now?

The most important issues are hiring a new city manager and making decisions about how to fix and pay for our endangered city water supply. Our long time water rights are in jeopardy.

Next is restarting our economic development that we stopped after the success of signing a lease with the cheese factory.

How would you address those issues i f y o u a r e r e - e le c t e d t o t h e Ci t y Council?

Re: New city manager. I have been involved in hiring people for $100,000/year jobs. I recognize strengths and weaknesses in high pow-

ered executives and can help select the right city manager for us and get him for a fair price.

My political contacts could be helpful if we are seriously threatened with loss of any of our invaluable, irreplaceable city water rights.

I helped negotiate the current cheese factory lease and will work to protect the revenue stream from being lost by selling the leased land for a fraction of the lease value. Without my continued position on the City Council, I fear we will give away our great lease with its potential $50,000 annual payments.

What would you like to accomplish if re-elected?

I have been the strongest supporter of bike/walk paths in Bandon. We can make great progress along jetty road, the bluff trail and the major bike/walk path along Ocean Drive and out Beach Loop.

What do you feel is the most important job of a City Councilor?

I feel my most important job and sacred trust are to carefully monitor city finances and spending. I carefully study and question outside experts on our city budgets and audits.

What do you feel the relationship should be between the City Council and the local business community?

The councilors should be boosters of Bandon businesses and among its best customers. My broad retail education and experience can be helpful in attracting new businesses.

Anything else you think is important for voters to know before making a decision on who to vote for?

I have the energy and enthusiasm to continue my efforts to improve Bandon.

If re-elected I will continue to work hard for the citizens of Bandon. I will continue four more years of Coffee with a Councilor. With a new city manager, I plan on helping Bandon to realize its bright potential.

Madeline Seymour Age: 65 Years in Bandon: Three Family: Brother in Southern California and Mother, Patricia Seidler O c c u p a t i on : Construction Accountant, retired Education: UCLA and extension courses Past political experience: City of Bandon Budget Committee two years City of Bandon Water Resource Committee nine months Past campaign experience in Southern California What do you feel are the most important issues facing the city right now?

The city of Bandon is at crossroads. It has a well maintained, but aging water system.

Additional funds are necessary to keep the functioning system properly and in good condition.

Restoring rate setting authority to the Council Madeline will help to build reserves Seymour and keep the system in good repair a much less expensive way to ensure a healthy working infrastructure than waiting until there is trouble and finding replacement costs to be prohibited.

I believe we should complete projects voted into record in the past and plan carefully for future improvements.

The completion of the new city shop in its location out of the flood plain is paramount to Bandon’s preparation for emergencies. We cannot restore power or water without the equipment to do so.

How would you address those issues

if you are elected to the City Council?

My area is expertise is finance I will contribute to careful budgeting and planning so that the City stays on course and continues to improve a little at a time in a steady manner.

What would you like to accomplish if elected?

Secure our raw water supply, grow reserves, and keep our infrastructure strong.

What do you feel is the most important job of a City Councilor?

City Councilors must work together because no one person has the power to make decisions independently. I will listen respectfully to my colleagues on the council and contribute in a considerate manner. Most of all, I want to represent the residents and businesses of Bandon, to offer open communication at all times. To hear the concerns and to help with any issues that may arrive.

What do you feel the relationship should be between the City Council and the local business community?

We must work together to keep Bandon a City we love. We all must be concerned about residential neighborhoods that visitors find appealing.

Business owners want good schools, comfortable homes and the support of City Government. I will be committed to that effort.

Anything else you think is important for voters to know before making a decision on who to vote for?

I am a quiet person; I listen and think over issues carefully. I spend the time necessary to get the job done. I show respect to my colleagues and stay on task. That is what I believe the voters deserve.

Voters will decide whether to authorize council to set rates Bandon Western World

BANDON — Registered Bandon voters will soon be receiving mail-in ballots for the Nov. 4 election. Measure 6-150 has been placed on the ballot by the City Council as a referral for Bandon voters to decide whether the City Charter should be amended to provide limited authority for the council to set utility rates.

Ballot Measure 6-150 Caption: Limited Authority for the City Council to Increase Utility Rates.

Question: Shall the Bandon City Charter be amended to authorize the City Council to increase utility rates 0%-5% per year?

Summary: City Charter restrictions prevent the City Council from increasing certain utility rates unless approved by the voters. Without any rate increases, expenditures in the water, sewer, and electric utilities will eventually exceed revenues.

This measure would amend the City Charter to add the following: “Notwithstanding any other City Charter restrictions, the

City Council is authorized to increase water, sewer, and electric utility rates from 0% to a maximum of 5% per year.” This will help provide adequate funds for properly operating and maintaining the utility systems, while at the same time limiting utility rate increases. All funds from these increases will be used exclusively for providing an adequate supply of high quality water for drinking and fire protection, properly treating the community’s sewage, and providing safe and dependable electrical service. The effect of a YES vote will be to authorize the City Council to increase utility rates from 0% to 5% per year.

The effect of a NO vote will be to retain the current restrictions which prevent the City Council from increasing utility rates.

Frequently asked questions 1. What would this ballot measure do?

The ballot measure would amend the City Charter to authorize the City Council to increase water, sewer, and/or electric rates no more than 5 percent each year.

2. Where did the idea for this

ballot measure come from?

The proposal originated with the Water Resource Committee, which is a standing committee consisting of seven residents from the Bandon area who are appointed to “plan for, and advise the Mayor and City Council and City Manager on water quality, supply, resources and watershed protection issues.”

3. When was the last time Bandon’s utility rates were increased?

Water rates were last increased in 2007. Sewer rates were last increased in 2011.

Electric rates were last increased in 2014.

4. How much would this measure increase my bills?

The ballot measure itself would not increase utility rates, but would authorize the City Council to do so in an amount no greater than 5 percent per year.

The impact would depend on whether the customer was inside or outside the city, and which services (electric, water and/or sewer) the customer was receiving. The simplest way to determine the maximum impact

on any monthly bill, including the city’s 10 percent tax, would be to take the total amount of that bill, subtract the voluntary programs (low-income “roundup” contribution, fireworks donation and backflow device testing) if you are participating in any of those programs, and multiply the remaining amount by 5 percent (0.05).

If all of the utility rates were increased by the maximum 5 percent next year, the monthly bill for a small, inside-city residential water customer using 2,000 gallons of water or less would increase 68 cents,plus tax.

The sewer bill for that same customer would increase $1.14, plus tax. The monthly water and sewer bills for a larger residential customer using 5,000 gallons of water would increase 87 cents for water and an average of $1.62 for sewer, plus tax. The monthly electric bill for an inside-city residential electric customer using an average of 771 kWh of electricity would increase $3.05, plus tax. Outside-city utility rates are higher, so the impact on outside-city bills would be different, although those customers

do not pay the 10 percent utility tax.

5. How do Bandon’s utility rates compare to other cities?

The latest statewide survey of water and sewer rates was conducted by the League of Oregon Cities in 2009. Bandon’s average water and sewer total is $49.48 per month. The average for small Oregon cities, population 1,000 to 5,000 is $70.53. The statewide average for all cities is $64.84.

A 2014 City of Bandon survey showed Bandon’s total monthly water and sewer cost the lowest compared to other nearby cities, with Bandon’s at $49.76 per month, compared to $89.80 p[er month for Coquille, $134.64 per month for Port Orford and $72.45 for Myrtle Point.

Residential electric customers in Bandon use an average of 771 kWh (kilowatt hours) of electricity each month. Bandon’s 2014 rates for that average inside city residential customer, compared with those of Coos-Curry Electric and Pacific Power also show Bandon’s rate lower, at $61 per month, compared with Coos-Curry at $83.96 per month and Pacific Power at $87.51.
