Bandon city manager receives award EUGENE — The League of Oregon Cities’ prestigious Herman Kehrli Award was presented to Bandon City Manager Matt Winkel during the League’s 89th Annual Conference last weekend at the Hilton Eugene. The award is given to a city employee who has made exceptional contributions to city government in Oregon, producing lasting benefits for their community, according to a press release from the LOC. Winkel was hired by the Bandon City Council in 1994.

“His strong belief in fiscal responsibility and accountability is almost unmatched in my experience.” — City Attorney Fred Carleton

He started his civic service career with the city of Phoenix, Ariz., and later served as community development director and city manager for the city of Williams, Ariz. Over Winkel’s 20-year tenure in Bandon, the list of city

achievements has been numerous. Today, all city streets are now paved, compared to 12 years ago, when only half were paved. In addition, the community now has sidewalks, walking paths, broadband services, and

a recently added charging station for electric vehicles. A theater, a remodeled community and senior center, a new cheese factory and a library are some of the other amenities added during Winkel’s tenure. Even Bandon City Hall, once

described by residents as “tired and dated,” is now referred to as “retro and sharp.” Endorsing Winkel for the award, a colleague described him as “fiercely loyal to the concept of government officials being responsible to the taxpayer.” “Matt skillfully guided the City Council and managed the employees to achieve the success that Bandon has enjoyed,” said resident Bill Russell. “He quickly understood, accepted

Utility ballot measure questions 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. As a public service, the Bandon Water Resource Committee and the Committee for Citizen Involvement provided a copy of the ballot measure and answers to frequently asked questions, to inform the voters regarding the proposed measure. 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 utility 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 “round-up” 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

Troy Russell, Pacific Gales project manager, surveys the proposed site for the golf course’s clubhouse in June, which would feature views of Cape Blanco to the north.

Pacific Gales now waiting for planner approval By John Gunther Bandon Western World

SOUTH COAST — Developers of the proposed Pacific Gales golf course near Port Orford will have to wait another month to find out if their new conditional use application to build the course meets the approval of the Curry County Planning Commission. The commission approved an initial application late last year, but the decision was appealed — first to the Curry County Board of Commissioners and then to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals — by the Oregon Coast Alliance. Elk River Property Development, LLC then revamped its proposal with the current application, which came before the Planning Commission earlier this month. At the request of Oregon Coast Alliance and Oregon Shores, another environmental group that joined in the appeal to LUBA, the public hearing for

the project was continued past the initial special meeting. The county’s new timeline includes a deadline for written testimony on the application at 5 p.m. on Oct. 3 for rebuttal arguments to any new testimony and 5 p.m. on Oct. 13 for final arguments by the developers for why the project should be approved. The commission will discuss and deliberate on the proposal — with no new testimony — at its Oct. 23 regular meeting in Gold Beach. Regardless of the group’s decision, developers expect the Oregon Coast Alliance to again fight the project. “We know they will take it all the way to LUBA,” said Troy Russell, the project manager. But the group also likes its chances. “We feel good about it,” Russell said. Because the golf course would be built on a portion of the Knapp Ranch zoned exclusive farm use, a conditional use permit is required. In his staff report detailing the proj-

ect for the Planning Commission, Interim Planning Director David Pratt said the project appears to satisfy all the requirements for approval, as long as the developers meet several conditions. But Oregon Coast Alliance issued testimony arguing the project can’t be approved, along most of the same issues the group used to appeal the first decision. The group’s arguments are legal in nature. ORCA questions whether the developers have legal water rights for the project. The group also claims that the golf course is too large, since Oregon Administrative Rules describe 18-hole golf courses as being “about 120 to 150 acres” and Pacific Gales would use close to 200 acres of land. And they say the proposed structures would have a combined capacity bigger than the limit of 100 people in place for developments within three miles of

Diabetes and Quilters donate to local charities You workshop A free workshop, Diabetes and You, will be presented by Stephanie Polizzi, registered dietitian and OSU faculty member, from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7, at the Bandon Public Library, 1204 11th St. SW. Anyone interested is welcome and encouraged to attend. Diabetes used to be a disease of the elderly but today many adolescents are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. In Coos County, 1 in 10 adults has the disease and many more go undiagnosed. Despite the negative hype, diabetes is not a death sentence. In fact, much of today’s research indicates people can not only prevent and

manage diabetes, but may even be able to reverse the disease entirely. Explore the simple strategies and newest developments for Type 2 diabetes offered free through OSU Extension Family & Community Health. This 3-hour session describes the characteristics and progression of the disease and outlines simple eating strategies that can help prevent or manage symptoms. Some programs have even shown reversal of diabetes with proper nutrition. For more information, contact the Coos County Extension Service at 541572-5263 ext. 292.

Ask Us About Dental Implants! Did you know? Did you know that dental implants were used thousands of years ago? It’s true!

They have been found preserved in mummies from Egypt and Peru. We’ve come a long way! With excellent dental care from Dr. Strong, you will protect your teeth, look great, and feel even better.

This year’s winner was Giny Krug of Bandon. She made a quilt with four dinosaurs and included footprints and even bones in the quilting. Everyone who came into the show was able to vote for their favorite baby quilt in the challenge section. There were 16 challenge quilts this year.

COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Community College recognized a gap in local health care and snagged a federal grant to fill that need. On Monday, the U.S. Department of Labor awarded SWOCC a $2.4 million grant to support job-driven training for careers in health care and natural resources. SWOCC noted in its grant application that it’s hard to find qualified health care workers in rural communities like Coos County. The college proposes tweaking its

programs to specifically address this issue. In addition, SWOCC will use the grant to develop a career and technical education certificate for GIS, forestry and natural resources technicians. In total, the Department of Labor awarded $450 million to nearly 270 community colleges across the country, marking the final installment of a four-year, $2 billion initiative. Last Linn-Benton year, College Community received a $2.7 million grant.

OPINION

A4 • Bandon Western World

“However bad we may look on a particular day, I hope people realize that journalists don’t have to be perfect to be responsible.” — Roy Peter Clar senior scholar, Poynter Institute, 2007 Thursday, October 2, 2014

Letters No more dinners at the Station After 35 years of serving our community breakfast, lunch and dinner all day, the Station Restaurant is making a change. Beginning Monday, Oct. 6, the restaurant will be open for breakfast and lunch only. The new hours will be 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Sundays. On behalf of the entire staff, we regret any inconvenience that may occur and want to thank all of our valuable and loyal customers. The Station was originally opened by Robert and Wynnetta Vining in 1980, who ran it until 1985, then it was owned from 1985 to 2005 by Martin and Nancy Hauser (Nancy is the daughter of Robert and Wynn). It has been under the ownership of Jon and Cathi Vining since 2005 (Jon is the son of Robert and Wynn). Please watch for a coupon coming out in the Bandon Western World. Jon and Cathi Vining Bandon

Fiddling while Rome burns? On behalf of Southwestern Oregon Preppers (SWOP), I would like to publicly thank Dave Robinson (Bandon postmaster) for speaking at our September meeting. Dave's new book, “Disaster Prep For The Rest Of Us” is a must-read for all those traveling or living on the Oregon Coast. The recent power outage in Roseburg and the fire in Weed, Calif. should be a reminder of what can happen anytime, anywhere. There are those here in Bandon who laugh at preppers and think we are conspiracy nuts because we take the time to be informed, to stay aware and to prepare. Unfortunately, the local elected leaders are not leading by example. They are not showing up for CERT meetings. They are not encouraging the public that elected them to take part in preparedness. But you will see these elected leaders sipping wine after five. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns! Also SWOP would like to thank Lanny Boston, Fire Chief, Bandon Rural Fire District, for allowing SWOP and CERT to use their facilities for meetings and trainings. The question you have to ask yourself is: Are you prepared? Avery T. Horton, Jr. Founding member Southwestern Oregon Preppers

Yes on Measure 6-150 Bandon is really a very inexpensive city to live in compared to most. It is run efficiently on a very lean budget. Our property taxes are 46 cents per $1,000 assessed evaluation compared to the rest of the county where the property taxes run between $6 and $8 per $1,000 AV or Portland which is $16/$1,000 AV. That is the direct result of the city being a utility company and can charge its citizens a 10 percent utility tax on the utilities they purchase to get revenue to run the city operations. A cost comparison is in order here to see what the average resident pays toward the Bandon operating fund: Add the average monthly cost of 5,000 gallons water and sewer per month ($17.40 plus $30.07) to the monthly cost of the average electricity use of 771 kwh per month ($59.22) to get the average monthly utility cost of $106.69. The utility tax that Bandon charges is 10 percent of that total monthly cost or $10.67. Multiply that by 12 to see how much the average resident pays toward the operations of the city. It is $127.92. This amount added to my personal property tax assessment of $47.28 is a grand total of $175.20. If I were living in Coquille in a property assessed at the same rate as my property here, I would be paying $701.50. So I have just shown that I pay $175.20 as my share to operate the city rather than the $701.20 that I would have to pay were to be living in Coquille. For this low amount, I have great water when I turn on the tap. (In fact, I chose Bandon over other coastal towns because I liked the taste of the water here) The sewer is well run and Bandon does not pollute the Coquille River with dangerous sewage. I have power whenever I turn the switch and it has been rapidly restored when power lines go down because I live on a looped system. There is a current financial strain in the water budget that would require a 27.5 percent increase in water rates to bring it into balance without severely cutting several maintenance issues.

age usage, that would mean a $4.79 per month increase or $57.42 per year. The need for an increase of this size is due to costs for equipment. Salaries keep increasing but the city cannot increase its revenues and the citizens, who can raise revenues, have refused three times to raise the city revenues since 2006. This is the strained situation into which we are inviting a new city manager to come and take responsibility for running our little city. It is a job in which the city manager finds his revenue arm tied behind his back while the citizens demand he sustain a superior utility system with no ability to increase the revenue needed to do so. With those restrictions in place, I personally doubt that our City Council will be able to find a competent city manager to replace Mr. Winkel when he leaves at the end of December. They were not in place when Matt Winkel was hired in 1994. He has done an amazing job pulling rabbits out of his hat but the hat is empty and Matt is leaving. Bandon citizens are educated and bright. I think they are capable of seeing that the well that they started to sink into 19 years ago, when the town removed the rate authority from the City Council in a petty dispute, should no longer be the governing principle of the city. There has never been a bad audit and the claims of financial mismanagement are not documented. The city has always had clean audits and clean letters of opinion from the auditors each year. It is time to give rate authority back to the City Council! They need to keep our utility systems in good repair and save up to have adequate reserve funds that can be used in when unexpected problems arise like the clarifier did a few years back. If you do not like what your representatives (i.e. the city councilors) are doing, you can recall them and replace them, but give them the ability to properly do the job you have assigned to them and restore limited rate authority to the City Council by voting YES on MEASURE 6-150.

Clinic founder forgotten Today I went to the open house for the Coastal Community Health Center. It was really gratifying to see what a good job had been done on the building. Be assured that I wish them every success. Bandon can use all the medical facilities possible and CCHC will be a large part of the medical care in our community. I do have one issue. On the front desk was a standup document thanking three entities for their support of the center, starting with thanking the community. I was astounded that they apparently have forgotten the person who started the clinic, who kept it floating financially and was the heart and soul of the clinic for five years. Shame on them.

Is cell phone tower safe? I recently became very concerned when I read about the new upgraded cell phone and wifi tower installation at the Bandon School District track. I have now researched more on wireless technology and have found more data that shows the harmful effects of cell phones, cell towers, wifi and other forms of high frequency radiation. The International Association of Fire Fighters already has taken heed to the increasing evidence and has now made a resolution to stop all cell tower instal-

lations at fire stations. The electromagnetic fields from this technology have biological effects, including genetic effects, cancer, cellular/molecular effects, electrophysiological effects, behavior, nervous system, blood brain barrier, calcium, cardiovascular, warm sensations, hormones, immunology, metabolic rate effects, reproduction/growth, subjective symptoms and stress. (Reference source: Dr. Henry Lai, research professor, Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington.) Other findings show similar effects, including interference with production of melatonin that affects sleep and helps to protect against cancer, depression, memory loss, visual disruptions, skin problems, dizziness, movement difficulties and nausea. Children are shown to be much more vulnerable to cell phone radiation in a study by Gandi et al, University of Utah, 1996. According to Dr. Samuel Millham M.D., MPH, guidelines vary in other countries, the U.K. having the worst and Salzburg, Austria having the best. The guidelines for the U.S. are four-fold worse than the ones in Salzburg, Austria. Lichtenstein, Switzerland-Austria announcing it will reduce exposure standards by 10 times to be within the Bioinitiative Report recommendations. (See www.Bioinitiative.org) Austria, Germany, France, the U.K. and other countries are now issuing warnings on wireless devices. The European Parliament recently voted 522 to 16 that exposure guidelines need to be changed because they are obsolete. The National Library of France announced the dismantling of its wireless system. Research this topic with your family and friends. Read the book titled “Public Health SOS: The Shadow Side of the Wireless Revolution” by Camilla Rees and Magda Havas, PhD, associate professor, Environmental and Resource Studies, Trent University, Canada. Read over 2,000 research studies at www.Bioinitiative.org, www.ElectromagneticHealth.org, http://wifiinschools.or.uk/, www.icems.eu, and www.energyfields.org. Any concerns can be addressed at the next Bandon School Board meeting at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 13, in the district cafeteria. John Costa Bandon

Apology for wrong impression I want to apologize for giving the impression to the Wisconsin writer of the article on Bandon Dunes that Bandon has a “thriving cranberry industry.” She already knew that Bandon was one of the areas where cranberries were grown, and I was not aware of the setbacks suffered by the industry this year. I was pretty much raised in the cranberry industry since my father was the manager of the Ocean Spray plant for 20 years. It was our life. I had not read about, nor had I spoken to a grower this year, how grim the financial forecast is. I think it would be hard, however, to talk about Bandon without mentioning the cranberry industry, which has been the backbone of our agricultural endeavors for many, many years. I hope that those who read the article will take away the positive things they read instead of what seems to be human nature: Dwelling on the negative. Yes, we could have said that some of our small business owners are suffering, but others are having a very good year. It’s hard to talk about each individual situation when you are being interviewed about the overall face of Bandon. This is a great place to live and it’s hard not to be upbeat about our community. It’s home and we love it. Mary Schamehorn 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.

Questions 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 electric 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

■ from Page A1

$83.96 per month and Pacific Power at $87.51 per month. 6. Where will the money from future utility rate increases go? All money from utility rate increases will be used for operating, maintaining, and improving the water, sewer, and electric systems. Money from the 10 percent utility tax will continue to be used for general city operating expenses. 7. What will happen if t h i s m e a s u r e d o e s n ot pass? As future costs for operating, maintaining, and improving the water, sewer, and electric systems increase beyond the utility revenues, the city will have to either seek additional utility rate increases, defer maintenance and improvement projects, or subsidize the utilities by cutting City services. 8. If this measure passes, what is to prev e n t the C i t y C o u n c i l fr om co ntinuousl y i n c r e a s i n g u t i l i t y r at es t he m a x i m u m a m o u n t year after year? The voters have the ability to replace the City Council if they feel utility rates are being increased unnecessarily. The voters also have the ability to take back the rate setting authority. History, however, shows that the City Council has not increased

Golf

utility rates except the minimum amounts absolutely necessary to comply with bond covenants. Although the City Council lost water rate setting authority due to the charter amendments in 1995, the council retained authority to increase sewer and electric rates as necessary to properly operate and maintain those utilities until 2013 and 2014, when pre-1995 sewer and electric revenue bonds that gave them that rate setting authority were paid off. The City Charter also allows the city to increase electric rates as necessary to offset wholesale power costs. Over that 19-year period, the council increased sewer rates seven times and electric rates five times. 9. Why doesn’t the city get grants for operating the utilities instead of increasing rates? Grants are not available for utility operation and maintenance expenses. The city does obtain grants whenever they are available for water and sewer capital improvement projects. Utility rates that are below the average for other cities makes grants for water and sewer system capital improvements much more difficult to obtain and much less likely to be approved.

urban growth boundaries — Knapp Ranch is just north of the Port Orford boundary. Russell said the group has adequately satisfied all of those arguments. In the application, golf course architect Dave Esler explained why the course needs more land than 150 acres, and pointed out that all four resort courses at Bandon Dunes and also Bandon Crossings, which was built using a conditional use permit in Coos County, are bigger than 200 acres.

“I think we answered that pretty clearly,” Russell said. As for the specific clubhouse capacity, the developers haven’t yet hired an architect because the project hasn’t been approved, but they describe at length in the application why they will meet the requirement.

Volleyball team is tied for second Bandon Western World

Bandon’s volleyball team got a slow start to the season, but the Tigers have rounded into form and now find themselves tied for second in the league standings with Reedsport after a 25-8, 27-25, 25-12 win over Waldport on Tuesday. The Tigers finish the first half of the league season at home against the Braves tonight. “That’s a big game for us,” Bandon coach Courtney Freitag said. Bandon has three straight league wins, and played well against the Irish. “Our serving was so much better tonight,” Freitag said. “We had good ball movement and the team worked as one

unit and picked up balls that a lot of other teams wouldn’t have.” Raelyn Freitag, the coach’s daughter, had 13 digs to go with 13 aces and six kills. Kate Fereri had four aces and seven digs, Toni Hall had four kills, Kaylynn Pickett had 15 assists and two kills, and exchange student Maria Nicieza Mendez de Andes had four aces. “There were lots of smiles from our players on the court,” Courtney Freitag said. “It’s fun to see them enjoying the game.” Last week, Bandon beat Toledo 25-22, 25-16, 25-16. Next week, the Tigers host league-leading Myrtle Point on Tuesday and visit Gold Beach on Thursday.

Football team hosts MP in Sunset opener Bandon Western World

Bandon’s football team will see if its week off pays dividends Friday night when the Tigers open Sunset Conference play at home against Myrtle Point. With the six-team league getting three playoff bids, a win over the Bobcats, expected to be one of the other contenders, would be huge. Bandon enters the game 2-1 after taking time to work on the areas where the Tigers struggled in their loss to Coquille. Myrtle Point, which is 2-2 after a win over Glide last week, also lost to the Red Devils, though the two scores weren’t similar. Coquille edged Myrtle

Point 16-8. Meanwhile the Red Devils feasted on Bandon miscues in a 5628 win over the Tigers. Friday’s game will be a contrast in styles, with the Bobcats pounding the ball with running backs Anthony Stoddard and Isaac Godfrey and Bandon employing its wide-open passing attack with quarterback Quentin Coomer. The outcome could come down to turnovers, meaning Bandon will need to limit its mistakes. After Friday’s game, the Tigers play the league’s two weakest teams to date, visiting Waldport and hosting Toledo, before finishing with last year’s playoff teams, Reedsport and Gold Beach.

Tiger Trio Bandon’s trio of cross country team leaders makes its way through the course during the Pacific Invitational at Cape Blanco State Park last week. Here Hunter Hutton leads Josh Snyder and Zane Olive.

Runners have another good week Bandon Western World

Bandon’s cross country team continues to perform well against bigger schools. Last week, the Tigers swept the team titles in the Pacific Invitational at Cape Blanco State Park and then had a solid showing in the Woahink Lake Invitational near Florence. Bandon freshman Sailor Hutton stayed unbeaten with wins in both races and the young core of Bandon boys also was solid again. At Cape Blanco, Hutton finished the 5,000-meter course in 20 minutes and 17 seconds. Teammate Aida Santoro was second in 21:06, with Sarah Cutler sixth (22:21), Weston Jennings eighth (22:52) and Shelby Tobiska 14th (24:33). Meanwhile, for Bandon’s boys, the trio of Hunter Hutton, Josh Snyder and Zane Olive stayed together for much of the race again before Hutton pulled away.

Hutton finished second to Brookings-Harbor’s Chris Burton in 19:12, with Snyder third (19:27) and Olive fourth (19:28). That made it so each of the three had finished first for the team once. Bandon’s other scoring runners were Tim Hatfield (20:39) and Ben Bean (20:43), who were 17th and 18th. The Woahink meet was much larger, with 19 schools, including a mix of Class 6A, 5A and 4A teams. The Tigers still fared relatively well. Sailor Hutton won the girls race in 19:49 and Santoro was fourth (20:45). Cutler finished 19th (22:21), Jennings 24th (22:47) and Tobiska 42nd (24:36). The Bandon girls finished fourth behind Reynolds, Siuslaw and Philomath. In the boys race, Hunter Hutton finished 15th (18:21) to lead the Tigers. Snyder was 21st (18:41) and Olive 22nd (18:41). Seven Converse

was 53rd (19:55), Hatfield 56th (20:22) and Gabriel Castelli 57th (20:24). Bandon finished seventh, behind six schools that were at least Class 4A. The Tigers haven’t yet faced a lot of the teams in the special district, but appear to have their biggest competition from St. Mary’s of Medford. The district also includes South Coast teams Gold Beach and Myrtle Point as well as Canyonville Christian, Cascade Christian, Hosanna Christian, Lakeview, New Hope Christian, Paisley, Rogue River, Toledo, Triad Christian, Waldport and Rogue Valley Adventist Academy. Bandon competes at Regis today and in the Lemerande Farewell Meet next Wednesday hosted by Pacific. The district meet will be three weeks from today at Valley of the Rogue State Park in Rogue River.

Harbor Lights team shuts out Myrtle Point Bandon Western World

The Harbor Lights football team posted a shutout last week, dominating Myrtle Point 39-0.

“We had another good defensive showing against a sound Myrtle Point team,” coach Boe Pickett said. Harbor Lights allowed just 60 yards rushing and

also recovered two fumbles and returned an interception for a touchdown. The Bandon squad rushed for 128 yards on 26 attempts and passed for

226 yards, on 7-for-10 passing with one interception. The Tigers played Sunset this week. Results were not available by press time.
