Local artist dies in fire By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World
RIVERTON — Bandon residents were saddened to hear that award-winning wood sculptor and longtime resident Philip A. Clausen died in an early morning fire Oct. 15 that started in his Riverton studio and home. He was 88. According to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, at about 12:45 a.m., sheriff’s deputies and the Coquille Police Department were dispatched to 93937 Highway 42S, Coquille, in response to a residential fire occurring there. Upon arrival, the residence was found to be fully engulfed in flames. The structure was a two story wood structure that had been converted into a myrtlewood shop that sits right along the highway in the unicorporated community of Riverton.

Coquille firefighters were able to extinguish the flames, according to the Sheriff’s Office, but the home, shop,
art and two cars are a complete loss. After the fire was extinguished, a man believed to be Clausen was found deceased, as well as the family’s dogs. A positive identification of the victim and the cause of the fire remains under investigation, but officials believe it may have been electrical. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the following agencies: Coquille Fire Department, Bandon Fire Department, Coquille Police Department, Oregon Department of Transportation, Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office, Coos County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Red Cross of Oregon. Clausen’s daughter Ingrid and her husband Shane Wakeley, Shane’s father and Clausen’s son Sam were all displaced by the fire. Ingrid works at the Minute Cafe in Bandon.

In October 2013, the SCHC project team began the necessary steps for a project of this size. They worked on an initial design of the proposed facility, sent out bid packets to local and regional contractors (as required by SCHC’s public charter) and initiated property and land assessment with representatives from the city of Bandon, Coos County, Oregon Department of State Lands and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. An initial assessment of the property performed by the Oregon Department of State Lands and the U.S. Army Corps of
BANDON — As the film industry in Oregon continues its resurgence, a local film festival is looking to grow right along with it. The Oregon Coast Film Festival held its “Best of the Festival” event Oct. 11 at Bandon’s Sprague Theater. The daylong event featured a storytelling workshop, feature film and an evening of short documentaries. Festival organizer Dave Wilhite was appreciative of the community support. “We’re really pleased with the attendance today,” he said following the event. “We wanted to expand this year’s event, and the workshop and feature film additions were well received.” According to the state’s main film industry website, www.oregonfilm.org, Oregon’s history in the motion picture industry dates back to the silent film era. With over 400 feature films and television projects shot in Oregon since then (as well as hundreds of commercials). There does appear to be an opportunity for great growth for the festival, and the film industry in general. This month the Governor’s Office of Film and Television welcomed a new executive director, Tim Williams, who came

BANDON — On Oct. 6, a contractor crew arrived bright and early at the corner of June Avenue and 11th Street Southeast. Dressed in bright orange safety windbreakers, the crew spent a few minutes gathering themselves and assessing the work ahead of them. They had come to demolish the yellow modular building on the lot, which for over 10 years had served as an office building housing employees of Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center. Construction on the new Southern Coos Health Center building will begin in the next two weeks and continue until the middle of January.
New center In July, Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center broke ground on a new infrastructure improvement project that will increase Bandon residents’ access to healthcare, expand its service capacity and position SCHC for future growth and expansion. SCHC is constructing two new buildings on its campus. The first will be a new facility to house its health center medical staff, including primary care physicians and outpatient physicians. Located at the corner of June Avenue and 11th Street, the new health center building will be constructed over the next few months, with a target open
BANDON — At the request of the Port of Bandon Commission, the Bandon City Council voted 5-1 at its October meeting to adopt a resolution opposing the creation of a federal marine sanctuary off the Southern Oregon Coast. While there are no federal marine sanctuaries currently proposed for the Oregon Coast, the port is hoping to garner support from local ports, cities and other governmental agencies to oppose future proposals. City Councilors Brian Vick, Chris Powell, Geri Procetto, Claudine Hundhausen and Nancy Drew voted in favor of the motion; Councilor Mike Claassen voted against. In September, Port General Manager Gina Dearth presented information to the council, asking for support. Dearth said the state already has many layers of protection of the offshore fisheries, so there is no need for federal involvement. Port commissioners from Bandon and Port Orford also spoke to the issue at that meeting. Brent Webb, Port of Port Orford commissioner who has been active in the marine reserves process, said he believes in the environmental goals and objectives involved. However, Webb said, a federal marine sanctuary is another matter. Webb said such sanctuaries have a history of expanding and he referred to one in Michigan that expanded from hundreds to thousands of miles. “This is not a partisan issue, but a common sense issue,” Webb said. Port of Bandon Commission president Reg Pullen said almost 50 percent of the state of Oregon is managed by the federal government. The establishment of a federal marine sanctuary would result in more loss of local control. Coos County Commissioner Bob Main said he found in his experience being a member of a local marine reserves committee that the majority of those in favor of a federal marine sanctuary are not from the area.

Currently, the SCHC medical staff is housed in temporary facilities under separate roofs. The new facility will bring, for the first time, the following SCHC services under one roof: Podiatry, surgery, family practice and the wound care clinic. The new facility will improve SCHC’s ability to meet the healthcare needs of the Bandon community. “This is a major step to upgrade and modernize the services of the Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center,” said hospital CEO Charles Johnston. “I am very proud of our staff and doctors who have worked so hard to make this possible.” The new building represents a significant step forward for SCHC in its ability to serve more patients with a wider variety of health services. The facility will feature 12 new exam rooms (up from a current four rooms), a three-bay IV infusion room, office space for medical staff and a 300-square-foot conference room. The exam rooms at the new health
center building will follow industry best practices and be equipped with modern, up-to-date medical equipment. The new conference room will help SCHC expand its community education services, such as diabetic education, men and women’s health events and CPR classes, to name a few.

PUBLIC RECORD/Community OBITUARY Drive-through flu shot clinic returns Austin William Sides Oct. 13, 1991 - Sept. 29, 2014 Austin William Sides, 23, of Bandon, died Sept. 29, 2014, in Bandon. He was born Oct. 13, 1991, in Healdsburg, Calif., and attended small rural schools in Willits, Calif. He grew up on 20 acres with fields, forest and a pond. There, he developed his bond with the natural world and became an excellent photographer of wildlife. He also enjoyed handcrafting special items and later developed wideranging mechanical skills. He moved to Bandon in 2009. As an Oregonian, Austin enjoyed exploring beaches and hills prospecting for minerals. He is survived by his parents, Bill and Cher Sides of Bandon; uncle and aunt, Christopher and Andrea Higgins of Henniker, N.H.; cousin, Katherine Higgins of Hennike;r and uncle and aunt, Bob and Linda Rollinson of Deering, N.H. Austin was a sensitive, generous and caring man who made it a point in his brief life “to help others” as his circle of friends and acquaintances can attest. In that light, those who wish to make memorial contributions could support community organizations such as Coastal Harvest, South Coast Hospice or the Nancy Devereux Center. Cremation arrangements have been conducted by Amling Schroeder Funeral Service, Bandon. There are tentative plans for a memorial service at a future date. Sign the guestbook at www.theworldlink.com

Letters A better argument for our city I am writing in response to the editorial in Opinion Section of the Bandon Western World October 16, 2014, entitled “City needs to make a better argument.” I am a citizen of Bandon and former Planning Commissioner and I want to make a better argument for why citizens should vote “YES” on Measure 6-150. I am in favor of the city council having the authority to raise utility rates and let me tell you why — it is just plain good governance! The city’s governance process is broken. If the city council cannot raise utility rates, it cannot take care of the most fundamental needs of our residents: Water, sewer and electricity. The city is running on minimal levels of revenue and this means we are headed for big trouble in the future. Maintaining the status quo (as the editorial suggests) means we are falling behind and the systems will fail. There are no surpluses to fix emergencies. If we have a power outage, we have no back-up generator to keep sewage from flowing into the Coquille River, no generator to pump drinking water and worse, if a pipe breaks, residents living on the other end of the break will get no water. If electric lines go down during a storm, some areas will be without electricity because they are served by a single line. In addition, most power lines are not underground and need to be. We need to fix the reservoir so that we can store water and don’t lose water rights on the Geiger Creek reservoir. If we should experience a draught, there is capacity for about two days of water or less. A rate increase will provide maintenance support, manage emergencies and build a reserve fund for utilities. The rate increase will not to exceed 5 percent on water (for now) and 5 percent on sewer and 5 percent on electric later. Water is the most immediate concern and a 5 percent increase on water for 2,000 gallons a month usage is 68 cents per month in year one, with the highest monthly amount in year five at $3.88. This is a minimal increase for the guarantee of quality water. Measure 6-150 caps the rate increase so that it cannot exceed 5 percent for each of the utilities (water/sewer/electric); it is NOT a blank check and the uses are specific with dedicated funds not to be used for anything else. It makes no sense to go to the citizens for operational approvals — that is the definition of chaos, not good governance. If we need a new generator or have an emergency, there won’t be time for a ballot measure. Water, sewer and electricity affects all of us. We must put politics and personalities aside, we must think of needs of all residents and the future of our city. It is in the best interest of all of us to begin a new chapter and create a vital, inclusive and engaged citizenry. If citizens are dissatisfied with their elected officials, we can vote them out of office. It is unfair to hold the city council accountable for delivering services if they don’t have funding authority to raise revenue and then blame them for failing to provide services and using that failure as justification to further limit their ability to care for the city. We are setting the city council up for failure if they do not have the funding authority to generate revenue needed to keep us safe and maintain basic services. So the better argument: We must have an effective governance structure with the authority and ability to do the job they were elected to do. Let’s s start a new chapter and get Bandon going in the right direction. Vote “YES” on Measure 6-150! Deborah Maher Bandon
the city hadn’t clearly and specifically identified or guaranteed that 5-percent annual increases would be used exclusively to solve current or future utility needs and thus urged a “No” vote on 6-150. By the way, the councilor and I parted with a handshake and a smile to politely disagree. And I continue to urge, vote “No” on 6-150. Francis Stadelman Bandon
Maintain the public water system It’s hard to know how to respond to the Bandon Western World editorial board’s irresponsible piece in last week’s paper, so I won’t even try. I think it’s important to point out, as the city council seeks to have its rate-setting authority back (with a 5 percent cap), that what we are talking about here is maintaining our water, sewer and electric utilities — the most important of which is water for safe drinking and fire fighting. The water system does not belong to Rob Taylor, to Francis Stadelman, to the city council or to the city manager. It belongs to the people of Bandon. This is your water system and whether or not we are able to maintain it depends on whether you trust us enough to set rates. There are only a couple of other cities in the state (and possibly in the country) who do not have the authority to set their own rates. Ask yourself what Mr. Stadelman and his family would do at their Bandon Supply business if they were not able to raise their prices as costs increased. They would soon be out of business. At the time of the vote 20 years ago, the city had bond covenants on the sewer and electric system that allowed us to raise rates as needed. And, in spite of that authority, Bandon’s rates are the lowest in the area: For 5,000 gallons of water, the total bill for water and sewer in Bandon would be $49.76; in Powers it is $105.20; Port Orford residents pay $134.64; Coquille, $89.80, Myrtle Point, $72.45. One of the reasons our rates are lower is that we have maintained our systems, but without reserves, we can’t handle emergencies let alone the increasing cost of maintenance. The council has demonstrated a real responsibility to the ratepayers. We don’t want higher utility rates any more than you do. Over that 19-year period, the council increased sewer rates 7 times and electric rates 5 times and were still able to maintain the low rates. Past actions speak volumes. Don’t let the fear-mongers scare you. A public forum was held last Wednesday night to explain the ballot measure in detail. You can watch it on streaming video at coosmediacenter@pegcentral.com. The late John Fasnacht, the former long-time manager of utilities and one of the most respected men in this community for many years, said it best shortly before he died. He said one of the most noticeable changes that came to mind is the way representative government in this community had been removed from the hands of the mayor and the council. “People need to remember that city government in Oregon is the representative form of government. We elect people to represent us. The council and mayor should be able to do their job. If they don’t do the job, then they should be replaced,” said Mr. Fasnacht. No one ever spoke with more clarity. Please support our efforts to maintain your topnotch water, sewer and electric systems. Vote “YES” on Measure 6-150. Mary Schamehorn Bandon
Utility increases compound A city councilor politely approached me the other day, asking if I’d reconsider my vote “No” position on city measure 6-150 on the November ballot. I told the councilor I was 110-percent against the 6150 measure and would continue to urge a “No” vote. The councilor admitted not having read my letter in last week’s Bandon Western World. The councilor seemed generally unaware of how 5-percent annual increases compounded annual would in effect double Bandon utility users’ bills in 15 years and be over twoand-a-half times in 20 years and continue to skyrocket. I mentioned to the councilor that schools have to live within the bounds of revenue available and have no assurance of 5-percent annual increases in dollars. I asked the councilor why couldn’t the city place a bond measure on the ballot to cover a pressing water or other utility need? The councilor said people would vote “No.” The editorial in last week’s Bandon Western World, in my opinion, was exactly on point. The city has to make a clear case for any need prior to placing any measure on the ballot, if they expect support. Bandon Western World, clearly per my reading, felt

Committee member voting ‘NO’ As a member of the recently dissolved Bandon Water Resources Committee, I want the voters of Bandon to know that after 14 months and about 30 meetings, our initial task was to find a way to fund a new reservoir after a leak in the current dam was discovered. Subsequently, however, we did establish that Bandon does have a need for more money for the operation of this great city, as well as for operating a reservoir of its own. However, I urge the voters to vote No on measure 6150, as it is incorrectly written for the following reasons. 1. There is no end limit for this initiative, so a yes vote will very likely mean an increase every year for the rest of your lives. There is no reason to believe the city will ever increase it less than the maximum we allow them if this measure is approved. 2. We, the voters, do not yet know what a new working reservoir will cost and where that money could come from. 3. Albert Einstein is rumored to have once said, “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.” If your utility bill is currently $100 a month, in the 10th year you will be paying $162.89 a month for the exact same usage at a 5-percent compound interest. I propose we approve a rewritten initiative only after we understand the cost of operating this city, as well as the costs of building a new operating reservoir. Please vote “NO” on ballot measure 6-150 and inform the City Council that the new rewritten initiative have a specific end date that we can all support. Bob Berry Bandon
Ensure our city’s future An editorial in the Bandon Western World last week said the reasons for reassigning rate setting ability to the Bandon’s City Council are “pretty vague.” Perhaps these reasons can be made more precise. 1. Each time the voters consider a new utility rate on the ballot it costs money. Those are funds lost to improve infrastructure. 2. If repairs or improvements must be postponed in favor of the election process, solutions to utility problems can be compounded by delay and may not be at the convenience of consumers. 3. If the voters say “NO” then what? Do those citizens who will maintain the system, do without service in favor of those who just don’t like government? Bandon’s Water Resource Committee members have
sound educational backgrounds (Including a Ph.D. in biochemistry, an engineering degree from the prestigious Colorado School of Mines, a nursing degree and varied business, finance and construction experience). They came forward and have given generously of their time to assist in a fact finding process. 1. They are all rate payers. None welcomes higher bills. 2. They have spent many months examining all aspects of Bandon’s water system. They have talked to experts and State authorities. They have learned about storage requirements and allowances, water flow, source management, Water Rights law, and much more. 3. If they are not to be believed, who then? The Water Resource Committee has made every effort to educate the public. The minutes of their meetings and their report to the city council are available online, or at City Hall. Members were available at a lengthy public forum to answer questions. When cities with modest means are required to make repairs or improvements to their systems, they often look to possible sources of outside funding for help. Granting foundations want evidence of community commitment to share the expense. That commitment can be expressed in the form of reserves accumulated by fair, thoughtful rate setting. Bandon has no reserves. That is not because those funds were used for other purposes (Such practice is not permitted, by law). The city simply does not have them. In fact, the committee has determined that the city’s income from water rates is not adequate to continue to operate the system at its current standard. Very few cities in Oregon tie the hands of their representatives as has been done in Bandon. Those who have, experience the consequences of deferred maintenance and worse. In the beginning of my term I thought, “It’s good. Let the voters decide on a case-bycase basis.” Now I see it is cheaper in the long haul to raise rates when the system requires it. Informed representatives of the people, guided by Oregon budget law, must be charged with rate setting responsibility. Water use, especially, is of universal concern! We drink and wash with water from birth to old age. Publishers of the Bandon Western World could have given this important issue more research and more exposure, allowing for responsible, investigative reporting, thus serving the public with real information instead of misguided opinion. Bottom line: The health of your family or business, and the continued value of your property are important! Ensure the future of your water system. Vote “YES” on Measure 6-150. Claudine Hundhausen Bandon
Think, then vote ‘yes’ on 6-150 (Editor’s note: This letter is being re-run because of an error in the version that ran last week.) 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 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
Measure 6-150 is flawed It is a good idea to give the city council some flexibility in financing our vital utilities. Ballot Measure 6-150 is not the way to do it! It has three major flaws: 1. It is open-ended in time. 2. It is open-ended for money. 3. It enables hidden increases because of compounding. The city should come back to us in May with a version that includes a limiting mechanism, such as: “Up to 5 percent in one year for four years, after which it must be reaffirmed by the voters” or “Up to 5 percent in one year but no more than 15 percent in one five year period.” William W. Hand Bandon
Voice of the voters Vote yes, ballot measure 6-149, “Voice of the Voters” home rule charter. “The future of this Republic is in the hands of the American voter.” — Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower. Wow! Voters stopped voting and leave government operations to career politicians and bureaucrats. Now voters are involved by: Voting, running for office, paying taxes, political contributions, appointed to be on committees, commissions and boards and receiving tax dollars by partnering with government. But, to be part of the decision process in spending the tax dollars through a voting process, no, you are too dumb, or stupid, probably only fitting into one or two of the above involved activities, paying taxes and making a contribution. Thus, Coos County home rule charter is a threat to the entrenched influence receiver and peddlers, it will involve the voters through voting on how much and where, but not all, of your tax dollars will be used in the county. Yup, that is a dumb and stupid idea to include the voters in how tax dollars will be spent. Vote yes, ballot measure 6-149, “Voice of the Voters” home rule charter. Denny Powell Coos Bay

In and Around Bandon Last weekend to see ‘The Guardian’ 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. These young actors reside in Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, Langlois, North Bend and Sixes. “This production is planned to be a dramatic effort with some interesting turns and some fearful events,” said Dan Almich, who wrote the play. Tickets, priced at $10 adults, $8 senior citizens, $5 students (K-12), are available at Bandon True Value Hardware, 541-347-2506, Bandon Mercantile, 541347-4341, at the box office prior to each show, or by reservation with the Almichs at 541-347-2517. “The Guardian” concludes its run Oct. 24, 25 and 26.

Engineers revealed the presence of an active, determined wetland on the property. While this discovery delayed the project by almost a year, the wetland gave SCHC the opportunity to redesign the placement of the buildings on the property. “We worked closely with the Oregon Department of State Lands and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the revised design of the project,” said Brandie Wood, SCHC director of operations and projects. “In this way, SCHC
ensured the long-term sustainability and integrity of the determined wetland.” Once the state and federal authorities approved the new second project design, SCHC secured approval from the city of Bandon’s planning commission and the Southern Coos Health District board.
New beginning While the new health center building is the centerpiece of the infrastructure improvement project on the SCHC campus, it is only the first
phase. In the second phase of the project, SCHC plans to construct an office building on the east side of the property that will be home to several of SCHC’s critical administrative departments, including patient billing, human resources and information services. The Southern Coos Health Foundation offices will also be located there. For more information about the project, contact Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center Foundation Director Scott McEachern at 541329-1040.
Sanctuary other protected areas tend to become more and more restrictive, he said. According to the resolution, various members of the public initiated actions to nominate a federal marine sanctuary off the Southern Oregon Coast, based on the area’s outstanding ecological, economic and cultural resources. The resolution states that the areas along the Southern Oregon Coast are already substantially regu-

lated and managed by both federal and state agencies and that further restrictive designations would replicate those regulations. Claassen said he voted against the resolution because there is no federal marine sanctuary currently being proposed. “We’re passing a resolution when there’s nothing to oppose,” he said. “Some people say (a federal marine sanctuary) is a good or at least a workable plan.”
Hundhausen said she did a lot of research between the September and October meetings. “A system is currently in place that addresses these issues ... and I think our local participation is absolutely crucial,” she said. “It seems if you’re concerned, the federal government considers (you) angry and uninformed. That’s why I’m voting yes.”

■ from Page A1 make this such a great filming destination.” It is not taking too great a leap to say that the revitalization of the state’s film industry can be a help to up-andcoming film festivals like the one held in Bandon. That, in turn, gives a chance for people, who otherwise may never get the chance, to create new works and get important feedback to help them grow in the art. Steve Wilson saw his film, “I Am Not OK,” take top honors in the Short Documentary Films, Independent Film category at the Bandon festival. This was his first film festival, and he says he found it to be a rewarding experience on many levels. Recognition and validation are just the tip of the iceberg. “When you know that other people, who don’t know you, they are not your mother or your wife, they just like your work and that is a great feeling,” he said. It can also be inspirational for the filmmakers and nonfilmmakers alike. Wilson says the films give viewers a fresh perspective, and are also able to open doors to new conversations. He says one visit was all it took to inspire a return to an event that he anticipates will only continue to grow. “It’s going to get better every year,” Wilson said. “So, those people that didn’t have a venue, like me, other than YouTube, will go to that
film festival so that people can see their work. And to get feedback, good and bad, is really very important, I think.” Other honorees from the 2014 Oregon Coast Film Festival included Nan Parsons, who won the “Best of Festival” award for an Feature Independent Film called “Reclamation.” Award-winning photographer at The World newspaper, Alysha Beck, didn’t place this time, but was able to use the opportunity to showcase three different short films created during her time at the paper. the Meanwhile, “Audience Choice” award went to “Raw Oregon,” a short film documenting a standup paddleboard trip down Oregon’s South Coast. It features local paddlers, in addition to a few professional paddlers, who trekked from Port Orford to Brookings. It was produced by Gold Beach native Will Taylor. “It takes a ton of courage to have your video shown on a 50foot wide screen, with beautiful sound, and knowing that hundreds of people are watching,” Wilson says. “It takes a lot of courage, and once you get past that you can move forward and keep producing even better stuff.” The 2015 Oregon Coast Film Festival is planned for October.

Tigers race at district today Bandon Western World
Bandon’s cross country team has the luxury of entering today’s district meet knowing the runners have a great likelihood of advancing to next weekend’s Class 3A2A-1A state meet in Eugene. The boys are heavy favorites for the district meet at Valley of the Rogue State Park in Rogue River and the girls and St. Mary’s are the state’s top two teams and far better than anyone else in the district. “Not to look past districts, but if everybody runs as they should, it shouldn’t be a problem to get to state,” Bandon coach Brent Hutton said. The top two teams and top five individuals in both the boys and girls races earn spots at state. “I’m excited about district and the opportunity to size up St. Mary’s,” Hutton said. “It really is a state preview.” Bandon enters the district meet with momentum after the runners all posted bests at the Country Fair Classic in Veneta last week, when
the Tigers competed against bigger schools. That was particularly true of the girls. Sailor Hutton didn’t win for the first time all season, but the freshman finished fourth behind three standouts with a time of 18 minutes and 13 seconds. Aida Santoro was seventh in 19:03 and Sarah Cutler was 21st in 20:06. “I’m really excited about Aida,” Brent Hutton said, adding “Sarah finally got a PR.” The Tigers finished fifth behind Class 6A South Eugene and Sheldon, Class 5A Marist and Class 4A Philomath. Sailor Hutton said the race was a good experience for her. “It was crazy,” she said. “It was like, ‘I’m not even going to try this pace.’ I ran a 5:40 first mile and they were still a little bit ahead of me.” The Bandon boys officially finished 14th, but would have been ninth except for a scoring error. The top three Tigers again were Hunter Hutton, Josh Snyder and Zane Olive, who all finished under 17:35.
Harbor Lights falls in football finale Bandon Western World
The Harbor Lights football team capped a successful season with its only loss Tuesday, falling 20-14 to Reedsport. “The Panthers played a great game, but came up short against a very good Reedsport team,” coach Boe Pickett said. “I am so proud of our team
and the effort and determination they played with. They did not have one ounce of quit in them.” Harbor Lights finished the season 5-1. “I would like to thank all of the community for their great support,” Pickett said. “These athletes have been a joy to work with this season.”

Tigers need two wins Saturday Bandon Western World
Bandon’s volleyball team is down to a win-or-the-seasonends scenario Saturday during the Sunset Conference tournament at Myrtle Point. The Tigers face either Gold Beach or Waldport at noon Saturday, and the winner faces Reedsport at 2 p.m. for the league’s second berth to the state playoffs. The winner of that match meet’s league champion Myrtle Point at 4 p.m. to determine seeding for the playoffs. The Tigers pushed Reedsport in the regular-season finale Tuesday, but fell in four games, 15-25, 25-20, 25-9, 25-22, the second competitive match with the Braves. “Ah, so close,” Bandon coach
Courtney Freitag said. “I still believe we can win on Saturday. “It will take a full effort from all the girls, though ... plus they have to believe in themselves that they can win.” The close calls should give the team confidence. In the match Tuesday, Raelyn Freitag had 18 kills, 20 digs and four aces. Toni Hall had six kills, Kaylynn Pickett had 24 assists and three aces, and Annmarie Pickett and Maria Nicieza Mendez de Andes added 16 digs each. Over the weekend, Bandon got experience against bigger schools in the Marshfield Invitational, but didn’t have much success. The Tigers lost pool matches to Marshfield and Henley and split
their match with Cottage Grove. In the consolation bracket, the Tigers were eliminated by Douglas. “Our defense was quite possibly the best we’ve seen all season,” Courtney Freitag said. “The bummer part was we just couldn’t get any offense to flow ... we struggled with that all day, actually.” The Bandon players lacked energy during the day, which Freitag understood when three of the players were home sick instead of at school Monday. The Tigers ended last week on a positive note, beating Waldport 2513, 25-19, 25-13. Raelyn Freitag had 12 kills, 11 digs and four aces. Hall had five kills and three blocks and Annmarie Pickett had seven aces and 11 digs.
Tigers face Reedsport Friday Bandon Western World
Bandon’s football team found out what Reedsport and Myrtle Point had in the previous weeks, falling to Toledo 40-24 last Friday as the Sunset Conference newcomer Boomers stayed perfect in the league standings. But the Tigers did some good things to build on heading into this week’s game at Reedsport. “We knew going into the game that yards after contact killed Reedsport and Myrtle Point,” Bandon coach Silia Polamalu said. “We worked on it. We knew exactly what they were going to run and had many opportunities, but we could not tackle the quarterback and running back. “That was the difference in the game.” That became a learning experience for the Tigers, who face two more power
running teams, the Braves and Gold Beach, to finish the regular season. The Tigers will focus on quick tackles for the two games. While Bandon struggled on defense against Toledo, the Tigers had a great game on offense. “We saw our pass protection improve significantly this week, which forced them to bring more rushers,” Polamalu said. “This forced them into coverages we were able to take advantage of, which is why Quentin (Coomer) threw for over 400 yards.” Coomer completed 18 of 36 passes for 417 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions, and also ran for a touchdown. Trae Dyer had eight catches for 257 yards and scored on catch-and-run plays of 94 and 49 yards. Jacob Taylor had the other touchdown.
“Our running game struggled this week, but that had a lot to do with their blitzes,” Polamalu said. If the Tigers can have another good offensive game and clean up their tackles, they have a good chance against the Braves. “It is going to be another good matchup,” Polamalu said. “We are very familiar with these guys and it is going to be a competitive game. We are hoping to build on some of the good things we have done the past couple weeks and get back above 500 again. “We need to avoid the slow start we had last year and try to make them play from behind. I think our offense could give them some matchup problems and on defense we are going to make sure we tackle better than we did last week.”

Trout are hitting out at Middle Empire and Butterfield Local lakes: Members of the Lower Umpqua Fly Casters reported catching good numbers of trophy-size trout from Middle Empire and Butterfield Lakes last weekend. One member reported catching and releasing 35 trout out at Butterfield Lake from a float tube.He caught trout on both black and brown wolly bugger flys with a sinking fly line, and was hooking fish 4 to 5 feet under the surface.
