Ten years of progress in Honduras

By Tim Stadelman Contributing writer

In August 2004 I traveled to San Pedro Sula, Honduras with my two oldest daughters, Ann and Suzie, who were 18 and 16. We joined a group from Bandon led by Father Heiko Junge of Bandon’s Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Our goal was to help build houses.

The housing project in Honduras was run by the late Father Tom Goekler who lived and worked in the neighborhood.

We had been in the country just 24 hours when we witnessed the gang violence first hand. I was in the church hall after lunch when I looked up in time to see Juan fire a gun three times at Ezekiel.

Juan was able to escape after the shooting and we never saw him again. Six months later we were told that he had been killed in another gang related incident. Ezekiel was shot but survived his injury. We saw him on three other trips to Honduras. Later, he was also killed in a gang-related incident.

I was standing next to my oldest daughter when the shooting occurred. I quickly moved her into the shower which was constructed of cement blocks on three sides. Two of the women from our group, Cathy and Lydia, instinctively and purposely stood in front of Ann to protect her. I heard a girl crying and went to find my other daughter, Suzie. I thought she had been shot. I found Suzie, unharmed, in an adjacent room with Jesse, aged 16 from Bandon, under a desk. It was all over by then but we didn’t know it at the

Washed away Saturday’s storm hit the Port of Port Orford’s dock hard, causing damage to Griff’s Seafood, and the Hallmark Fisheries building was washed away. Curry County officials have asked the governor to declare a state of emergency for the area.

Storm blasts South Coast Bandon: Winds near 50 mph caused minor damage and power outages

damage incurred by the port’s tenants.

On Saturday, the first big storm of the season pounded the port as winds up to 90 mph drove heavy waves over the dock, destroying small buildings and forcing an evacuation. Well-known seafood restaurant Griffs on the Dock suffered damage upward of $350,000, while the Hallmark Fisheries building was washed away.

Webb said damages to two fish buyers’ facilities, the restaurant and lost fishing opportunities amount to nearly $500,000, and damages to port facilities are likely to bring it up to $1 million. The port’s two fish buyers were operating

BANDON — The first significant storms of the season hit the South Coast last week, leaving fallen trees and branches and scattered power outages in the Bandon area.

The National Weather Service issued a high wind warning from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, but the winds hit earlier than expected, starting at about 6 a.m. and tapered off about 2 p.m.

The highest gust recorded in Bandon Saturday was 46 mph in the morning, with a steady speed of about 30 mph.

Saturday’s storm came just a few days after high winds and heavy rain pounded the area on Wednesday.

Rainfall at Bullards Beach State Park was recorded at 1.97 inches Wednesday, 1.04 inches Friday and .33 inches Saturday.

No major incidents were reported locally. Saturday’s storm hit harder in Port Orford, which sits close to headlands that jut out farther west than Bandon. Wind speeds were recorded as high as 94 mph at Cape Blanco at 6:45 a.m., 90 mph at about 7:50 and an average of 80 mph from 7-9 a.m.

PORT ORFORD — Damages from the storm that hammered the port at Port Orford on Saturday are beginning to be calculated, with estimates already in the $1 million range.

On Monday, Kate Groth, representative for the Army Corps of Engineers, joined Senior Port Commissioner Brett Webb and other Port Orford officials to assess the devastation. While the port has not yet released an official monetary assessment of its losses, Webb estimated the cost of the destruction at approximately $474,000 and likely to rise — a figure that just applies to the

After thefts, police warn residents to lock up Bandon Western World

BANDON — Following multiple reports of home burglaries and thefts from vehicles in and around the Bandon area, the Bandon Police Department is warning residents to lock their residences and vehicles at all times.

Since Aug. 1, there have been 19 reports taken by police of residences and vehicles entered illegally and laptops and other electronic items stolen. Officers have arrested some of the suspects and those suspects are awaiting trial, according to

Chief Bob Webb.

In addition, there have been two reported stolen vehicles that were later recovered.

“Residents are urged to keep vehicles and homes locked at all times, especially overnight,” Webb said. “Do not tempt a thief by leaving items like laptops, GPS devices, cell phones, MP3 players, coins, purses and wallets, visible and in plain view.”

Some items taken also include credit cards and checks making it easier for the suspects to commit identity theft, Webb

added.

In response to these crimes, Bandon Police officers will be conducting extra patrols, but urge residents to report any suspicious activity by calling the department’s business line at 541-347-2241.

Suspicious activity could be described as an unfamiliar person wandering through neighborhoods, knocking on doors, turning door handles, looking into vehicles or windows,or walking to the rear of a house to conceal their presence.

Anyone with information can contact the Bandon Police Department

Mental health and aging

By Jeff Friedman Guest Columnist

Ageism is a kind of discrimination against older people supported by a number of false assumptions. For example, at one time many psychiatrists, psychologists and sociologists espoused a concept called “detachment theory.”

This theory postulated that it was normal for people to become less involved in all aspects of life as they aged, that is, to become socially isolated and less productive. It was also thought normal that many older people would naturally become depressed. Fortunately, ongoing research has dispelled these toxic beliefs but the question becomes: What can people do for themselves and others to maximize quality of life in old age?

What you can do to help yourself 1. Depression is a treatable mental illness and should not be ignored. Most people respond to medication, or counseling, or both. Since chronic illnesses tend to increase with age, it is important to understand that treating depression may well facilitate treatment of cooccurring illnesses.

2. Discuss with your health care provider what sort of exercise program might be appropriate for you.

3. Assess the utility of your support system and consider reaching out to family and friends and, if possible, make some new friends.

4. Exercise your brain. There are many brain games available on line. Even consider learning a new language.

5. Try to have a sense of purpose in life. Utilize the skills you have acquired.

Consider volunteer work.

6. Some people, as they grow older, find it useful to engage in “life review.”

Reminiscing about important past events perhaps can help you make greater sense of your life and assist in coming to improved self-understanding. This can occur in a number of ways including sharing memories with friends and family and journaling.

7. Learn some skills that will help you not become overwhelmed. For example, consider daily meditation and other relaxation approaches such as yoga.

Practice problem-solving: If you are having difficulty accomplishing a task, divide it into doable parts. Find some healthy ways to reward yourself when you succeed. When you’re having a particularly difficult, stressful day, call a friend. Just contacting someone who will listen sympathetically can help a

great deal.

8. Practice “sleep hygiene.” As one ages, falling asleep and staying asleep can become problematic. A good night’s sleep facilitates improved health and daytime coping. Limit caffeine intake after noon. An hour before bedtime, turn off the television and turn off some lights. When you go to bed make sure the bedroom is as dark as possible. If you’re not asleep after a half hour or so, get up and sit in the living room until you feel drowsy. It’s all right to read, but don’t watch television. Repeat this procedure as needed. Try to get up around the same time each morning (preferably not too late) and get some morning light.

9. Have your vision and hearing checked on a regular basis. Auditory and visual errors can masquerade as, or exacerbate, mental illness.

What you can do to help others 1. Be a confidant. Establish a relationship of trust with an isolated older person.

2. Provide practical assistance (help with chores and transportation, etc. In doing so you also provide opportunities for socialization.

3. Facilitate access to a health care provider, if necessary.

4. As mentioned above, depression is not necessarily correlated with old age, but some isolated older people are in the high risk category for suicide. Take threats of suicide seriously and arrange for help.

Resources As one ages, losses inevitably accumulate. Many hospice agencies provide bereavement services such as individual counseling and grief groups (check the Yellow Pages under “hospice”).

Counseling is also available through Coos County Mental Health, 541-3963121 ext. 528; or the crisis service, 541-756-8601. This agency can also direct people to private counselors. A range of services for older people can be accessed through a state agency called Aging and People with Disabilities; the local office can be reached at 541-7562017.

Jeff Friedman is a Bandon resident and a retired Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in geriatric mental health who worked in the field of mental and health care services in Coos County for 25 years. He continues to volunteer locally, co-leading a hospice group in Bandon.

Letters Measure 6-150 just makes sense As the wind wailed and the lights flickered last week, I listened to friends tell stories of being without power for two to five days during most storms. I remembered why I chose to live within Bandon’s city limits and how much I rely on the city’s employees to make my retired life carefree and enjoyable.

In 14 years I recall being without power for only 15 minutes! Like most people, I don’t relish the thought of paying more taxes, or higher rates for most things.

However, some things are worth paying a small amount to maintain?

Yes, I meant to label Measure 6-150, the city’s request to have the ability to raise our utility fees 5 percent annually, a “small” request, for many reasons.

First, let me ask, have you looked at your phone/television bill lately? Mine comes with roughly a 30 percent monthly tax, imposed upon basic service fees, for a non-essential product! In my mind, having clean, safe water, with its life-sustaining capabilities, far outweighs the luxury of watching continuous television re-runs.

Put very simply, paying an extra $5 monthly fee to live a healthy life pales by comparison to an extra $30 monthly tax for entertainment. Additionally, while both may potentially go up, I’m stuck with the set flat service rate of the communication provider, plus its added taxes. However, I can easily control my usage of water and electricity and probably reduce my consumption 5 percent, without much effort.

Secondly, many in our community seem to have this never-ending attitude of fighting any rate hike or tax, regardless of how modest, simply because it is suggested by the city. I don't know where this animosity originates. I do know it has become exhausting. If we agree to live in a civilized community structure, then it’s time we realize there are just some times it is necessary to support the very entity we all turn to for the essentials in our lives. Several years ago the city asked for a $2 tax to help maintain the trees in City Park; it was voted down. They asked us twice to pay a minimal amount, for a limited period of time, to help finance our police services and both times voters rejected the levy. I find it hard to understand how we can all continue to expect to pick up the phone and request that a fallen tree limb be removed from the roadway, an officer be sent in an emergency, our electricity be restored, our sewer system be maintained, and our water be safe and then forget that these essential services require money to carry out.

Although I live on a fixed income, concerning this issue, I choose to take the leap of faith that cost of living increases and moderate savings investments will keep pace with modest utility increases. Furthermore, referring to a letter in last week’s Western World, suggesting that the city re-write Measure 6-150 as a bond with an end cap, doesn't solve the problems the City of Bandon faces. It is saddled with an extremely low tax base of 46 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, compared with surrounding cities, who collect $3.99 and

up. The city will soon be simply unable to keep finding creative ways to offer the level of services that drew us all here in the first place. The option of raising utility rates will ensure quality services that meet future needs as the city grows — and it will grow.

As a retired 30-year firefighter, I can tell you from experience just how important maintenance and expansion of city facilities can be. I once had the very frightening experience of being called out on a strike team, to a very wealthy city that had rejected building additional water storage facilities. After draining every tank on our engines and pumping every swimming pool, our crew found itself disheartened observers, watching home after home burn, without water to assist. I’m certain that community, as it rebuilt itself from the ground up, had many reflective conversations about the ease of maintaining infrastructure, as opposed to rebuilding. While we constantly ask our citizenry to prepare for what Bandon may face in the event of a major natural disaster, doesn’t it make sense to also help our city to prepare for that day and every day?

A yes vote on Measure 6-150 just makes sense.

Eugene Sobbota Bandon

Measure 6-150 and property values Currently my wife and I are in the process of buying a house in Bandon. Originally we had been looking to buy a place in Port Orford. In fact last year we had an accepted offer on a house in Port Orford but when we were going through the mortgage process the bank we were using ended up balking and didn’t want to lend on the property or any other property in Port Orford.

Both my wife and I are employed, have no debt and have stellar credit, so there was nothing that would prevent us from getting a home loan. Rather, the bank we were using saw Port Orford as a “declining community” and didn’t want to lend on any property in the community. Part of the reason the bank saw Port Orford as a declining community was due to its water system.

Port Orford has a water system similar to Bandon in that they get their water supply from surface streams in a small watershed with small dam/reservoir. The water is then treated and then distributed through the city water system.

The problem with the water system in Port Orford is that the distribution system leaks — so much so that over 50 percent of the water that the city treats is lost to leakage. So Port Orford residents end up paying for treating at least twice as much water as they actually use in the city.

Port Orford also doesn’t have a reserve fund to deal with the problem so they had to propose a bond (just like the editor of this newspaper had suggested in her editorial the other week that Bandon should do to address any future water problems). Well, the voters of Port Orford defeated that bond measure at the polls the other year so they still have their major leaking water system.

Having properly functioning infrastructure and having the means to maintain it is crucial if you wish to attract people and businesses to the community and, more importantly, the banks that make the loans so people and businesses can function in the community.

If you don’t, you end up devaluing your property and your community. When you do that, people and businesses are less likely to move here and if you do live here it will be that much harder to sell your place when you do need to move somewhere else due to job, health or medical reasons.

One just needs to look at the community to the south to see how not to manage your water system infrastructure and how it has affected property values, businesses and (as we found out) the ability to get bank loans on properties. Measure 6-150 gives the people that were elected and hired for the City of Bandon the ability to properly maintain the water system infrastructure and avoid the problems and costs that Port Orford has had.

Gurney right choice for county It was “April Fools” day in 1952, just two weeks after

his 17th birthday when Don Gurney enlisted to serve his country in the United States Navy. It was 21 years of service starting in the Korean conflict streaming through to the Vietnam War with very few breaks in between. Gurney attended metal works and fire fighting schools where he earned the title of fire marshal.

Today, Jackson and Curry are among several rural counties in Oregon that are facing bankruptcy and, except for the foresight of Don Gurney, Coos County would be in the same situation. Don convinced a former board of commissioners to set aside $12.5 million in timber funds until the county generates more revenue sources.

Unfortunately, that fund will expire unless the current board finds creative and aggressive tactics to use the resources that are supposed to be available to support our economy. Don will use the referral system to put public measures on the ballot to show the feds that the people of Coos County will not be intimidated. He intends on collaborating with legal foundations to use the court system to break the bureaucracy the federal government is using to deny the people of Coos County the right to utilize county property.

Don is a defender of the free market, so that is why he strongly opposes the corporate welfare and union baiting incorporated in the Community Enhancement Plan, which simply privatizes property taxes. The plan would take $1.8 million from the county for 15 years. He believes all businesses should play by the same rules, so he opposes allowing the owners of the LNG to receive the property tax exemption offered by the Enterprise Zone. This taxing scheme will benefit a foreign corporation, while forcing homegrown companies to pay more than their fair share, because of the money lost to crony capitalism. Don also opposes the use of eminent domain for the private sector, because it erodes the right to own property.

The voters of Coos County have a choice of voting for the incumbent, who is a bought and paid for member of “The Good Ole Boy Club” or the voters could choose someone who has a proven record of loyalty and success. Don Gurney is the right choice for Coos County Commissioner.

Sweet demonstrates commitment This will be short and “Sweet.”

I have been a resident of Coos County for 20 years.

In that time I have seen an assortment of elected officials come and go. Some have done their very best to improve the community, some have been benign and some have gone out of their way to impose their own agenda no matter the consequences.

John Sweet is clearly one of the former. He has always demonstrated his commitment to the citizens of the coast and worked to be a creative problem solver.

He has the experience and intellect to lead the county and the community into a better and more prosperous future.

I urge you to vote to re-elect John Sweet as Coos County commissioner.

Grateful for contributions I would like to thank all of those who made contributions to our Lions White Cane Day, Friday, Oct. 3. We received over $620 toward our Sight First Program.

The Bandon Lions continue to try to serve members of our community through our sight and hearing services. We screened almost all students from our area schools in September, resulting in offers to help students to provide further sight testing and glasses to those who need them.

We also try to bring our Mobile Screening Unit to Bandon annually to provide further testing of eyes for sight and glaucoma, blood pressure, blood sugar and hearing for anyone who would like to avail themselves of these services.

Bandon Lions would like to again thank our community for their support of our services and remind you we will be selling See’s Candy in early December.

Community Literacy campaign starts at SWOCC

Playhouse honors Daoust

Gov. John Kitzhaber launched the Statewide Literacy Campaign, stORytime this month with a special event Oct. 22 at Southwestern Oregon Community College for area schoolchildren.

The campaign is building awareness for the positive impact early literacy can have on lifelong success and it’s intended to galvanize communities across Oregon to join to support families in ensuring students are proficient readers by third grade.

Students who can read by third grade are four times less likely to drop out of high school. In fact, early reading is one of the single greatest predictors of life-long success.

Families can play a critical role in the development of their children’s basic skills and vocabulary that sup-

port their ability to learn to read.

Many families face both real and perceived barriers to helping their children build literacy skills.

StORytime was created to meet families where they are and to empower them to use myriad ways to support their children that can be incorporated into daily life. The program also is designed to fit easily into busy schedules, adapt to a variety of literacy levels and encourage teaching in multiple languages.

Communities can support this initiative in other ways.

■ Spread the word: The stORytime website has a partner page with information about becoming a stORytime partner at http://storytimeoregon.com/communities/community-partners/.

Volunteers can download materials

to display in offices and stores, including posters, bookmarks, activity sheets and videos that demonstrate how everyday moments (grocery shopping, cooking, driving in a car, taking a walk, singing, playing) can become learning moments.

■ Donate books to students on the South Coast: In partnership with Umpqua Bank, the Oregon PTA and Scholastic, the stORytime website includes a book donation portal where Oregonians can donate books to a school of their choice through Dec. 15. Umpqua Bank will match the first 40,000 donated books with a grant of up to $100,000 from the Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation.

Personalized and Comfortable Dental Care for the Whole Family

“In Coos County, we only have enough resources to support 50 percent of the children in the system today,” the spokeswoman said. “We are committed to ensuring that every child in foster care has a dedicated CASA volunteer assigned to support them. To do this, we will need to more than double the number of CASA volunteers in our community and nation-

As a result, these abused and neglected children are bounced from house to house.

A child with a CASA volunteer is half as likely to languish in foster care,

CASA of Coos County is offering community members an opportunity to help in the fight against child abuse and neglect, beginning with fall training. The training takes place over a series of sessions totaling 30 hours during part of November and December.

New school A 5,000-square-foot home from an anonymous donor is being converted into a new school in Honduras, with the help of a mission team from the South Coast.

Honduras time.

The reason they were under the desk is because the other children in the room had instructed them to do so. Suzie told me later that she had heard the gunshots but didn’t have any idea what was going on. She thought they were getting under the desk because of an earthquake. The kids in Honduras knew what was going on. The injustice is that any child would know what to do when they hear gun fire. The kids in this neighborhood have been taught what to do when they hear gun fire like we would teach our kids what to do when crossing the street.

When we returned to the United States, the adults that had traveled to Honduras decided that we wanted to do something about this injustice. Kids join the gangs because they have little hope for a better life. Our goal was to change this fact. We decided the best way to do this was with education.

Giving young people career goals is an effective way to keep them out of the gangs.

We started a sponsorfor ship program individual students. We gather donations from sponsors in the United States and all of the money goes to the educain tion program Honduras. A sponsorship costs $220 a year per student. This money is used for uniforms, books and some school fees. The cost of this schooling may seem minor to us, but it is enough money to keep some parents from being able to send their kids to school.

Two dollars per hour is the unenforced minimum wage in Honduras. Some things do cost less in Honduras than in the U.S. but everything that is imported, like cars, computers and gasoline costs the same as it does here.

Five years ago we decided to start running our own school.

Presently, we have three classes but only two classrooms. We use a carport for the third one.

When we started using this existing building, we knew it was going to be too small. We’ve been looking for a better building ever since.

In March, of this year, we found a large house that we are converting to become our new school.

The new building is a two well-constructed story house of about 5,000 square feet. It has a courtyard, and a 10-foothigh fence. Our long term goal is to also outgrow this building. The purchase of this building was made possible by anonymous donors. Coincidentally, we were able to close the purchase of the new school almost 10 years to the day from our first trip in 2004.

We will begin using the building in January 2015.

This is the beginning of the Honduran school year. The building is in good condition but it

Riding the storm out Gulls and other shorebirds gather at the South Jetty Saturday afternoon.

Storm

■ from Page A1

Wednesday’s highest gust was 67 mph at 11:30 a.m. Cape Blanco is the westernmost point of the contiguous United States.

The storm also caused widespread outages and damage in the Willamette Valley.

Combined with a high tide and heavy rain in the early afternoon when the winds were at their fiercest, the water

flooded some streets and parking lots.

The winds churned up the ocean, creating sea foam that spilled over onto the South Jetty parking lot, much to the delight of storm watchers gathered there. Jetty Road also was drenched from the high waves splashing over the rock barrier adjacent to the Coquille River.

Hazardous seas warnings remained in effect until Tuesday afternoon.

The three founding principles of our school are: First, faith-based education, second, each staff member must be motivated by their dedication to the children’s education and third, the school must be available to all the students in the community regardless of their income.

All the difficult work to run the school is being done by our people in Honduras. They must negotiate a neutrality status with the gangs. They organize the parents into work groups for the repair and maintenance of the existing school and the new school. They have to work with all the daily problems of the students’ education, abuse, malnutrition etc.

Most importantly, they try to give the students hope.

This is a daily struggle that never ends. They receive only a stipend for their efforts. They are mostly young adults who have received housing and/or college sponsorships from our sister group in Texas.

Our primary job in Oregon is to raise funds and provide some guidelines for the program.

Nobody in Oregon receives any wages for their efforts. One-hundred percent of the money goes to the program. Once or twice a year Tim Stadelman, a Bandon native who now lives in Brookings, travels to Honduras, at his own expense, to oversee the project. What we need at this time is more sponsors, specifically for the renovation of the school

and for teachers’ wages. A teacher, with a college degree, is only paid $3,600 per year at our school. This is low even

by Honduran standards.

Our large anonymous sponsors have been tapped out from buying the school. We need to broaden our base. I believe in what we are doing. It is not just good luck that we found this building and the money to buy it. I also believe that this will not become a great school without involving more people in the program.

For more information about how to make a tax deductible donation contact Tim Stadelman at 541-469-4385 or stadelmanelectric@gmail.com or Val Cowan at 541-469or 9238 livepurelivefree@hotmail.com.

With money we can buy buildings, supplies and many other good things. With prayers we can have miracles.

Monday, however.

There is no estimate on repairing a breach in the port breakwater, which protects the port channel and makes year-round port operations possible.

The devastation prompted Curry County Commissioner David Brock Smith to call for a declaration of state of emergency in the county and from Gov. John Kitzhaber.

Webb said the Port of Port Orford will be addressing the county commission at Tuesday’s meeting with its own request for emergency funding. The Corps of Engineers has committed to surveying the harbor Wednesday and to seek further emergency actions.

“Our biggest fear and most expensive is concerning sand inundation in the harbor,” Webb said.

“The breakwater has also sustained heavy damage.”

Smith echoed Webb’s

VFW essay contest entries due BANDON — VFW Medal of Honor Post No. 3440 is once again sponsoring the Voice of Democracy audio/essay contest for students in ninth to 12th grades in all Bandon schools, including home-schooled students.

The Patriot’s Pen essay contest also is being held for students in sixth to eighth grade.

The theme is “Why I appreciate America’s veterans.”

■ from Page A1 concern.

“Our fear and one of the purposes of the declaration is not only for the port infrastructure on the dock but for the port office itself, which had a foot and half of water,” Smith said. “But more importantly our breakwater is compromised. It was already compromised but we believe the storm caused further deterioration.”

He stressed the need for quick response.

“With crab season coming on within the next couple of weeks, it’s so very important that that channel is not filled because that’s an economy builder in upward of $3.5 million annually for not just Port Orford but for the other folks who crab,” Smith said.

Bandon just misses playoffs in volleyball Bandon Western World

Trophy time Bandon’s cross country teams pose with their trophies after the district meet last week at Valley of the Rogue State Park. The Bandon boys won the team title and the girls finished second.

Tigers earn spots at state meet

By John Gunther Bandon Western World

Bandon’s cross country teams returned from the district championships with a pair trophies. They’d love to do the same this week at the state meet in Eugene.

Tigers race The against the best teams in Class 3A-2A-1A at Lane Community College.

The girls race starts at 10 a.m. and the boys at 10:35.

Admission, good for all the races Saturday, is $8 for adults and $5 for students.

Bandon’s boys won the district title last week in Rogue River and the girls were second, both earning spots at the state meet.

In the boys race, Josh Snyder was third, with a time of 17 minutes and 16 seconds for the 5,000meter course. He was followed by Hunter Hutton (17:17) and Zane

Olive (17:39) in fourth and fifth. Seven Converse was 11th (18:35), Ben Bean 13th (18:51), Gabriel Castelli 19th (19:23) and Tim Hatfield 31st (20:15).

“I thought the boys performed the way I expected them to,” Bandon coach Brent Hutton said.

The Tigers scored 24 points, easily beating runner-up St. Mary’s, which had 50 points.

A title is unlikely this week, since Catlin Gabel appears to be too strong to catch.

But Hutton thinks the conditions will favor Bandon.

“It’s sort of a wild card at state with the condition the course is going to be in,” he said. “It sort of favors us. It’s not going to be a fast course. We’re used to running in the rain.”

Union, East Linn Christian, Horizon Christian and Oregon Episcopal all are other

teams in the mix for the trophies.

“I’m excited to watch the boys run, just to see what they can do,” Hutton said. “They have as good a shot at third as anybody there.”

The Tigers will be without Hatfield, who has been battling an ankle injury. Joshua Bruce fills his spot.

Bandon’s girls, meanwhile, are in position for a trophy, battling against St. Mary’s, which beat the Tigers for the team title at the district meet, and against defending champion Union.

The Tigers ran well at the district meet, with Sailor Hutton second (18:25), Aida Santoro third (19:10), Sarah Cutler fifth (20:12), Weston Jennings 18th (22:46), Dani Cox 19th Shelby (22:48) and Tobiska 20th (22:52).

Brent Hutton said he is thrilled with how Cox has come on at the end of the season. And this week, he expects big things for Sailor Hutton and for Santoro.

Sailor finished behind Marissa Dobry of St. Mary’s last week.

“Sailor didn’t have a good race, but she ran a very respectable time,” Brent Hutton said. “The girl who won, she’s the real deal. She’s a very good runner.”

Meanwhile, on a muddy course, he expects Santoro to shine Saturday.

“The person who stands to get the most of the conditions is Aida,” he said. “She is a strength runner, not a speed runner. It sets up very well for her.”

Brent Hutton

The Tigers do face a challenge trying to beat St. Mary’s.

“It’s a tall order to chase those St. Mary’s girls,” Hutton said. “They win as a committee. They all ran as a group (at district). They ran together.

They ran strong. They’re all very good tracksters.

They’re solid girls.”

St. Mary’s finished with 33 points and Bandon had 41.

The two Bandon teams will be joined at state by Pacific’s boys, who finished second in their own district meet at Eugene last week.

Angel Lopez finished eighth at the district meet in 18:24 to lead the Pirates. Acer Nye was 10th (18:36), Josh Engdahl 13th (18:52), Kaden Ashdown 17th (19:02), Quentin Fougerellos 20th (19:08), 23rd Kreutzer Cole (19:08) and John Keeler 33rd (20:11).

Pacifc’s girls finished fourth at district. Dune Fougerellos was 18th Brittany (23:49), Kreutzer 26th (25:06), Sarah Sax 33rd (26:12), Amanda Finley 46th (30:54) and Alecia Finley 47th (31:41).

Bandon’s volleyball season ended in dramatic fashion Saturday when the Tigers lost a tough five-set match to Reedsport for a spot in the playoffs.

The Braves edged the Tigers, 25-19, 24-26, 2512, 23-25, 15-10.

“Total heartbreak for our girls,” Bandon coach Courtney Freitag said.

“They played their little hearts out today.”

It was the culmination of a season of great growth for the Tigers.

“To understand the significance of how far we’ve come in our short season, one would have to recognize the depth at which we started,” Freitag said. “Small numbers, kids straight out of middle school having to bypass much needed JV to help fill a varsity team, first-time upperclassmen playing volleyball in high school, language barrier with a foreign exchange student and only two returning varsity players.”

The Tigers also had a schedule that gave all the other teams a big head

start in experience.

“For us to make league playoffs, handily beat Gold Beach and take Reedsport to five sets that would determine a state playoff game is huge ... ginormous actually,” Freitag said. “I’m so very proud of our Tigers.”

Bandon beat Gold Beach 25-13, 25-12, 25-12 in its first match Saturday.

Raelyn Freitag had 13 kills and 15 digs, Kaylynn Pickett had seven aces and 27 assists, Toni Hall had nine kills and Annmarie Pickett had four aces and 19 digs.

Against Reedsport, Freitag had five aces, 22 kills and 23 digs; Kaylynn PIckett had two aces and 31 assists; Hall had seven kills and seven blocks; Kate Ferreri received 14 serves and had 18 digs; and Annmarie Pickett had 30 service receptions and 28 digs.

The season ended, but Courtney Freitag already was looking ahead.

“It was such a fun year,” she said. “Mariah (Vierck) and I really enjoy doing what we do and are loking foward to next year.”

Tigers come up short at Reedsport Bandon Western World

Bandon’s football season ends Friday night when the Tigers host Conference Sunset champion Gold Beach.

Bandon wasn’t able to knock off Reedsport last week, falling 35-12.

Reedsport will meet Myrtle Point on Friday for the league’s final spot in the Class 2A playoffs.

The Tigers were hurt by a slow start. Reedsport raced out to a 20-0 firstquarter lead, scoring on the opening kickoff, then adding a touchdown drive and scoring after Bandon fumbled the ensuing kickoff.

“We got off to a slow start, just like last year,” coach Silia Polamalu said.

“We gave up 20 points in

Bandon Western

WORLD

the first quarter and then settled in and played them tough for two quarters. In the end, we couldn’t get the points on the board when we needed to.”

Bandon did get a couple of touchdown passes from Quentin Coomer to Tristian Davidson in the fourth quarter.

Polamalu said he was pleased with his offensive line, which gave Coomer time to throw the ball all night against Reedsport’s aggressive defense.

The group has improved all year, he said.

Against Gold Beach, that group will face another challenge when the Tigers will face a physical team that has won its first eight games.

Got news? We do.

Storms put a damper on most local fishing trips Local lakes: Last week’s stormy weather kept most trout anglers at home. During a break in the weather last Sunday anglers reported catching some nice trophy-size trout from Middle Empire Lake. They were using chartreuse colored Berkley power bait fished off the bottom.

I talked with John from Ringo’s Lakeside Marina on Tenmile Lakes, and he told me that two boaters were trolling for coho last Sunday with no success. He believes some coho moved into the lake after last week’s rain. With more rain coming this week, look for Tenmile, Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes to start producing coho.

Local rivers: Last week’s rain has kept the Chetco River running high and difficult for anglers to salmon fish. It’s still early in the run, so look for fall Chinook fishing to heat
