Bandon’s Water Resource Committee resigns By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World
BANDON — All seven members of the city’s Water Resource Committee resigned after being told they could not campaign for a measure they urged the City Council to put on the ballot. Members had prepared material for an upcoming forum on Ballot Measure 6-150, which would give rate-setting authority back to the council, and were told by
deputy City Attorney Shala Kudlac at their meeting last Tuesday that their material wasn’t neutral enough. Kudlac told the committee, which reformed in July to study water issues facing Bandon, that state law prohibits public employees from advocating for or against candidates, measures or petitions during work time. According to Oregon Revised Statue 260.432, Oregon election law allows elected officials to communicate with
their constituents about election issues but must not involve a public employee’s work time in any activities that could be construed as supporting or aiding an advocacy campaign effort. Unpaid public officials, such as members of appointed boards and commissions, are considered to be public employees subject to the statute. The overriding principle is that public employees may not use their work time to support or oppose measures, candidates
or petitions, regardless of the time of day or location. If they are working to prepare an official publication that is to be distributed using public agency resources, the publication must be impartial, or a violation would occur. “I want to make sure everybody understands that what was done was not done in any way to upset anybody,” said commit-

Echocardiogram services at SCH BANDON — Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will begin offering echocardiogram services to the Bandon community this month. Beginning on Oct. 21, echocardiogram appointments are available from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Tuesday. To make an appointment, patients and doctors’ offices are encouraged to call the hospital’s medical imagat ing department 541-329-1034. The new echocardiogram unit was purchased recently through the support of the Southern Coos Health Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Southern Coos Hospital & Center. Health Echocardiogram tests will be performed one day per week in the ultrasound suite of the hospital. Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay has been contracted to provide specially-trained echocardiogram technologists on-site at Southern Coos.
“The new echocardiogram raises the bar in terms of services available to the Bandon community,” said Bill Taylor, head of Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center’s medical imaging services. An echocardiogram is a noninvasive imaging test that uses ultrasound waves to examine the heart. Echocardiograms are one of the most popular diagnostic tests of the heart because there are no known risks or side effects from the ultrasound waves. The new echocardiogram unit will offer the following major benefits to patients and their doctors: ■ Important information about the heart’s structure and blood flow; ■ Help physicians accurately diagnosis common heart issues, such as congestive heart disease, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia and narrowed blood vessels; and ■ Help doctors map out

Following a dream
By Mary Ellen Schesser Contributing writer
BANDON — “In 2008, Brian installed a wood-burning stove,” said his wife, Zada Vorwaller.“And he said, ‘If you buy me a chainsaw, I will carve you a bear.’ So, I bought him (us) a cheap chainsaw, he chopped some wood, then he carved my bear, and the chain saw promptly broke.” Brian Vorwaller’s mother was an artist who passed her love of art onto her son before she tragically died. He was only 13 years old. In high school he took every art, pottery and wood shop class available. Realizing that artists’ dreams rarely come true, he became a glazier working his way up the trade. When the economy dropped, so did his hours. With a house, three cats, three dogs, a
goat and two children to support, it was scary. “We lost our home so we took the kids, dogs, and two chainsaws and moved into a 36-foot motor home. My sister took the cats and goat,” said Vorwaller. “It has been an emotional ride.” In the 2011 Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Sculpting Championships, Vorwaller’s first competition, he was placed in the pro division. “I was thrilled at the honor to compete with the other carvers,” said Vorwaller, “my goal was to complete a piece. Imagine my surprise at placing fourth! This spurred us on to continue our dreams. Being an artist and paying bills is daunting. When (we’re) discouraged, our children, Sydney, 11-years-old, and Roman, 12years-old, spontaneously hug us, and tell us how proud they are of us for ‘following our dreams’.”
“Brian is self taught,” said Zada, “and he’s furthered his gift from observing other carvers. His carvings of people and pets are so look-alike that we see tears upon recognition. He studies photographs and compassionately inserts intricate expressions and personalities into the wood.” One customer surprised her father by commissioning pieces of his two deceased bull mastiff’s. “We planned the surprise unveiling at an outside event,” Vorwaller recalled. “The minute he saw ‘his’ dogs he recognized them and exclaimed, ‘My girls!’ It was emotional for everyone. Another gentleman teared up upon seeing his carved companion of 17 years, a dachshund.” Vorwaller also excels at carving wildlife.

Still Life art show opens Sunday at Southern Coos Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center invites the Bandon community to the Still Life Show, which opens on Sunday, Oct. 12, with a reception from 13 p.m. featuring refreshments and music by The Overtones. The public also is invited to meet new Southern Coos Health Foundation Director Scott McEachern during the reception. The show features six new paintings recently bequeathed to the hospital from the late artist Thomas Farmer’s collection. The Still Life Show will be on view
through December. In addition to Farmer’s work, the show will feature paintings by many artists from Bandon and the Southern Oregon Coast. Thomas Farmer, 1926-2007, was a prolific artist during his decades-long career. Three of his paintings are in the permanent collection at the Coos Art Museum. The hospital featured one of Farmer’s paintings, “The Fop,” in a 2013 art show. For more information about The Still Life Show, contact McEachern, 541-3291040 or smceachern@southerncoos.org.
Film Festival Saturday at Sprague Dave Organizer Wilhite hopes the second annual Oregon Coast Film Festival will draw even more people than last year and encourage others to explore their filmmaking interests. The festival will be held Saturday, Oct. 11 and this year has expanded to include an afternoon workshop and a feature film as well as an artists’ reception and an evening of short documentary films. Last year’s film festival attracted more than 200 people to the Best of Festival evening at the Sprague Theater, 1202 11th St. SW in Bandon.
event The evening screened more than 25 original, short films. “I’d like to grow the festival into an all-day event, with multiple venues,” Wilhite said. This year, an early afternoon interactive workshop, “Storytelling: Through Pictures and other Digital Media” begins at 1 p.m. The feature film “Reclaimation” begins at 4 p.m. Filmmaker Nan Parsons tells the story of one veteran who has used art to heal his wounds of war. “The film is by a Port Orford resident, about a
Port Orford veteran, so it might be of interest to veterans as well as others,” said Wilhite. “He wanted to share his story so others don’t have to go through 10 years of wondering what’s wrong with them.” An artists’ reception will be held from 5-6 p.m., followed by the Best of Festival Short Films program from 6-9 p.m. Tickets are $15 all inclusive and available online at Eventbrite.com or at the door. Film festival organizers plan to establish a yearly scholarship for area high school students.

OPINION
“What a tiresome place America would be if freedom meant we had to think alike and be the same color and wear the same gray flannel suit.” — John Killens, writer, 1965

Letters No more Sweet deals In the past two years, I have monitored and observed the current situation in the Coos County Commissioner’s office and have grown increasingly concerned about the decisions and direction the commission has taken under the leadership of John Sweet. He presents himself as a business savvy local who wants to represent the “working citizens,” but his actions are not in line with his rhetoric. Look at what he does, not what he says: “I have stopped the rancor at public meetings.” Rancor, as the commissioner puts it, are the citizens of our county exercising their free speech rights under the first amendment of the constitution. Sweet did not allow public comment at the meeting he co-chaired with officials from the USFWS, and again at the first meeting of the vector control committee. “I saved the county seven million dollars by stopping the natural gas pipeline going to Bandon and south.” Stopping the construction of a much needed infrastructure project is short-sightedness, considering the massive expansion in the energy market. Currently, the cost of natural gas is about 85 cents a unit compared to $4.50 a unit for the delivery of propane. Sweet promotes exporting this windfall of resources to foreign countries, yet cruelly denies his fellow citizens from reaping the same benefits of this energy source. “Commissioner Sweet solved the mosquito problem in Bandon.” John Sweet has manipulated the process to obscure the real solution beyond any ability to fix the disaster that is the Bandon Marsh. He failed to appoint a vector committee in a timely manner and opposed the mosquito-monitoring plan designed the former director of the Coos County Health Department. “Preliminary to getting Bureau of Indian Affairs funding to help maintain county roads used by the Coquille Tribe.” The people of Coos County have stated repeatedly that they want no deals or contracts with the Coquille Tribe. Their leaders did not keep their word with the city of North Bend over the motel tax, or with the state in regards to building and operating one casino. These are just four very bad decisions by Commissioner Sweet, which demonstrate a pattern of enriching his cronies, while pacifying constituents. Ignoring the needs of citizens, refusing to address problems and disallowing open dialogue are not the redeeming qualities of character for a county leader. John Sweet is too cozy with special interest. Donald W. Chance Bandon
Sweet is outstanding I would like to take this opportunity to lend my support to those who believe John Sweet is a great county commissioner. I have known John for over 65 years and was thrilled when he became a commissioner. During the mosquito "problem" that faced Bandon last summer, John and I communicated almost daily (and sometimes three or four times) as he worked long hours to deal with the unintended consequences of the plague from the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge. He has been criticized for "being in bed" with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a perceived enemy of a group of Coos County residents, who will stop at nothing to discredit the USFWS and anyone who deals with them. But John put aside his personal feelings to negotiate with USFWS, successfully urging them to help pay to treat the marsh, which has been very effective. Without the help of John Sweet and then public health director Nikki Zogg, we might have faced the same problem this summer. But we didn't and we owe him a huge debt of gratitude for his hard work. I urge the voters not to be swayed by the negativity from talk show hosts, columnists, and others determined to unseat him. He represents us with grace, dignity and always portrays a spirit of mutual cooperation in resolving whatever issues are up for discussion. John Sweet is, and will continue to be, an outstanding county commissioner and I urge you to join me in voting for him in November. Mary Schamehorn Mayor, City of Bandon
Don’t get bitten again Unfortunately, for the citizens of Bandon, Coos County Commissioner John Sweet has taken the path of least resistance on the mosquito problem. Appeasing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is not going to make the problem go away. The only way to

eradicate the mosquito population, without the expensive practice of dumping caustic chemicals on the marsh, is to remove the source of standing water and reinstall the dikes, which is the recommendation of most mosquito specialists. Go along to get along is not leadership. Since John Sweet is not willing to fight to reinstall the dikes then he will not get my vote in November. The Bandon Marsh mosquito problem is just another case of local elected officials rolling over and allowing federal control. I do not understand how U.S. Fish and Wildlife owns the land in question. Public land is owned by American citizens, not government bureaucracy. Who gave USFWS the permission to remove the dikes in the first place? We cannot allow the federal government to impose their will to dictate the permanent removal of the dikes. It is statism. I support and will be voting for Mr. Don Gurney. He will fight against the prolonged and highly speculative treatment of the marsh chosen by USFWS and work for the already proven solution of reinstalling the dikes — all at the expense of the USFWS. Don Gurney is a veteran and he has already saved the county from bankruptcy by convincing the Coos County Board of Commissioners to save for an emergency. His actions are sound and decisive, and the best indicator of future performance is past performance, so vote for Don Gurney as Coos County Commissioner in November and don’t get bitten again. Roy Eikamp Bandon
Sweet a leader of integrity Carpe diem, seize the moment, is a highly appropriate sentiment for us to consider as we decide who to vote for in this year’s commissioners’ race. If Coos County continues to rely on yesterday’s economy it will surely die. We need new thinking. We have a unique opportunity to nearly double the taxable asset base for Coos County. That means more money for schools, public safety and infrastructure development without raising taxes! Moreover, this money could start coming in within a year or two under the Community Enhancement Plan in the form of “service fees” in lieu of Urban Renewal Agency taxes. Those taxes would not start in any meaningful way until the LNG project is completed and even then go only to the URA. Under the CEP 25 percent of service fees would go into a special trust for the benefit of all the schools in Coos County to be used for special programs and badly needed infrastructure. Otherwise, that money would go into the state equalization plan to be distributed on a head count basis to all school districts in the state. The one commissioner candidate that is unambiguously in favor of this project is John Sweet. There is no hedging, no “maybes,” no “I’m considering it.” He has thought it through, carefully measured the risks and rewards and is staunchly in favor of taking advantage of this once in a life opportunity. I want leaders of integrity that are smart, can think through issues and make sound decisions that benefit the entire county. I know you do, too. Those who consistently wait to see which way the wind is blowing before taking a stand need not apply. We have enough of those already. Please join me and mark your ballot for John Sweet, County Commissioner. We will all be glad you did. Jon Barton Hauser
Gurney a man of his word I like term limits — not only on a national scale but also on the local political scene. The longer someone holds any public office the more apt they are to abuse the power that resides with that office. This is the main reason why I believe we need Don Gurney in office as a county commissioner. Besides, I feel that Don Gurney will do a real fine job for the people of Coos County. Why? Because, I know Don is a man who believes in economic freedom and, at the same time, will try his hardest to keep local government small. I also know Don well and have confidence in his overwhelming desire to follow the Constitution. Furthermore, I like that Don Gurney supports the equal representation of all the people of Coos County as well as the right of the people to own and control their own property. In addition, I like Don because he wants to see a public vote on all tax increases and a public vote to eliminate urban renewal debt. I like Don’s assertion that as a commissioner he’ll dedicate his time and effort to help our county through the difficult budgetary years ahead. I like his determination to have an open, transparent governing body working with citizens to be the best we can be. I like his resolve that, here in this county, we do not need part time commissioners, but full time public servants. I also can appreciate when he says, “voters can count on the fact that I never have and never will owe political ‘favors.’” On this, I believe Don will be a man of his word. Because Don has lived most of his life here in this area, I trust that he will make the best decisions on behalf of its citizens. Having family roots in this part of Oregon, not only makes Don the sensible choice for Coos County commissioner, but in my mind, gives county residents the confidence they need that he’ll follow up because he truly cares. However, the main reason I believe that Don Gurney is the right choice for Coos County commissioner is term limits. The incumbent has had his shot, let’s give Don Gurney his. I like Don Gurney for county commissioner. Rick Hoffine North Bend

No free lunch for services There is no free lunch when it comes to city services. If you want clean drinking water when you turn on the tap and electricity available 24/7, we must give the City of Bandon the money necessary to maintain those systems. The city has been without the ability to increase in the funds to upgrade our water and power systems for 20 years. If they hadn’t been able to pass through rate increases from Bonneville, the rolling
black-outs may have started years ago. If you continue to vote against upgrading the city’s water and power infrastructure, you are supporting people who do not wish to pay their fair share of the things we use in common. The city is also working and planning for the ability to restore services to the residents of Bandon after an earthquake/tsunami, but this is made more difficult by the budget restrictions passed in 1995. The ability of the City Council to raise electric or water or sewer rates by 0 to 5 percent (that’s 0.05 on your calculator) would allow those departments to begin the upgrades so important to all of us. Twenty years without upgrades is too long. Vote yes on Ballot Measure 6-150. Carol Acklin Bandon
Restore rate-setting authority Bandon is one of a handful of U.S. cities that require a popular vote to change utility rates. Some folks are so anti-government they will cause harm to themselves, their families and neighbors to prove a mistaken belief. A community without adequate clean water is unable to function. Without a supply of safe water, who would purchase homes here? How would business and agriculture survive? What would happen in case of fire? Ours is a representative democracy. We trust our elected representatives to manage our common resources for the good of all. If they fail, we can recall them. To preserve Bandon’s property values, let’s restore the rate authority to our elected representatives. Vote “Yes” on Measure 6-150. Myra G. Lawson Bandon
Yes on Measure 6-150 “Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide, wide sea!” These lines from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” haunt me when I think of water. “Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink, water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” When it comes to drinking water, potable water, our albatross is the system, the dams, the lines and pipes and pumps that carry our water from source to tank, to treatment, to work and home. And back again through drains and gutters and pumps again to treated waste. The cycle is cursed if we kill the system. And the system will die if we do not maintain it on a regular schedule. Vote for life and the future. Vote “Yes” on Measure 6-150. Robert J. Hundhausen Bandon
Local heroine unrecognized Yes, heroine is the correct word to use here: “a woman of distinguished courage or ability, admired for her brave deeds and noble qualities.” (Dictionary.com.) Kudos to Barbara Dodrill for expressing (Bandon Western World, Oct. 2) what so many of us in Bandon have been thinking and feeling during the period since Dr. McClave “handed over” the Bandon Community Health Clinic, complete with furniture and supplies at no cost, to be run by others who had previously praised her for her boldness, courage and competence. I, too, must put my thoughts into print for others to read. I heartily join Barbara for her statements about the “empty space” among those being honored at the recent open house for the Coast Community Health Center. How the executive director and board of directors of CCHC could omit Dr. McClave’s name from those being thanked for the very existence of CCHC blows my mind. Some of us have contributed significantly each month since BCHC opened to see that Dr. McClave’s kind of healthcare for all in the community was made possible. I think this omission is a sad moment in the short but strong history of BCHC/CCHC. However, I am honored to continue receiving competent, loving health care from Dr. McClave and her diligent staff. Paul Mounts Bandon
Report mail thefts Recently there have been reports in the newspaper about mail theft in Bandon. Some of them have been in my neighborhood. This week a friend told me that he caught a certain man taking mail out of his mail box. He told man in no uncertain terms that he had better stop, and several other people have witnessed this same bicycle-riding man stealing mail from mail boxes. Please be aware that stealing mail is a federal crime, and you can report it to the United States Postal Service inspectors. You can either find that information online or our own postmaster here in Bandon can tell you who to contact. It’s time that this person be stopped from stealing our mail and we have to report him. Linda Frick Bandon
Thanks for taking a stand With the port and city leaders weighing in on your editorial asking that the public be put first, it is no surprise that the institutions designed to serve the public, instead, put themselves first. After all, they’re very busy and have a lot to do. Making the public wait an hour or three to chime in is no big deal, right? Wrong. Officials will defend their time and their institution as of primary importance; not just for them but for everyone. That’s their job. It is also selfish, misguided and wrongheaded. Any big cheese elected or hired public official who places the public second — despite self-serving “official” training — are misusing their office. Thank you for having the courage to stand up to these self-important bigwigs and speaking for the public, the citizens, the taxpayers. Peter Toll Lake Oswego

New Artists presents ‘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. Presenting the story of “The Guardian” are Nathan Woodruff, Dustin Wilson; Russell, Natalie, and Isabella Jones; Nathan Malamud, Marisa Smith, Alyssa Matas; Sarai and Hannah Perkins, Kayla Dugan, Kylie Gomes, Rachel Etzel, Natalie Vincent; Megan, Adam, and Henry Wood; Kristina Allen, Carter Precourt, Elli Schulz and McKenzie Martin. These young actors reside in Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, Langlois, North Bend and Sixes. “This production is planned to be a dramatic effort with some interesting turns and some fearful events,” said Dan Almich, who wrote the play. “The Guardian” opens a two-weekend run beginning Oct. 17. Tickets, priced at $10 adults, $8 senior citizens, $5 students (K-12), are available at Bandon True Value Hardware, 541-347-2506, Bandon Mercantile, 541-347-4341, at the box office prior to each show, or by reservation with the Almichs at 541347-2517.

Santosa Santosa, 54, a native of Indonesia, received his undergraduate degree in biology, then his medical degree from Saint Louis University School of Medicine in Baguio City, Philippines, considered a respected and leading educational institution located outside Manilla. Coming from a poor family, Santosa was the first to obtain an advanced degree, and did so through generous scholarships and by working and even selling books to make his way through school. But he didn’t stop there. Upon receiving his degree, Santosa returned to Indonesia, then moved to the U.S. in 1979, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in nursing from the University of Maryland Medical Health System while interning there as a physician from 1993 to 1996. “I worked as a nurse on the weekends and during the weekdays as a physician,” Santosa said. To become more wellrounded, Santosa double-majored while obtaining his BSRN, and earned a Master’s of Business Administration as well as a Master’s of I n t e r n a t i o n a l Management. “Now I just practice medicine,” he said. “It’s what I like, but those degrees were stepping stones. I came to the United States with $20 in my pocket. It was a struggle, a tough journey.” He worked in the Baltimore and surrounding areas for 14 years, and did rotation trainings at Johns Hopkins Hospital in geriatrics, endocrinology and community medicine, then spent four years in Wyoming as an doctor of internal medicine, geriatrics and family practitioner, and an emergency room physician. “Wyoming is a beautiful place, wonderful,” he said. Santosa’s drive is evident in the degrees he’s
Holmes his medical degree at UC San Francisco School of Medicine, Holmes worked in California and Arizona before moving to Oregon in 1979. He cofounded the Oregon Pain Center in Eugene and most recently worked as an urgent care provider and family practitioner in Albany for the past 15 years. “It’s always been a goal to get back here,” Holmes said recently. “I figured I’d live out my life here.” Growing up in a small town in Arizona the size of Bandon, Holmes came to his career naturally — his father was the only physician in town, a Harvard-educated surgeon who practiced primary care for 40 years. Two of his brothers out of six siblings also are family physicians, one of them with a federally qualified health center in Susanville, Calif. similar to CCHC, that has grown to address the needs of the community there, something Holmes envisions for this area. “Right now we need to concentrate on getting this clinic in ship-shape,” Holmes said, adding that CCHC has also just hired a outreach community worker, Bandon native Steve Eggert, who will educate the public on how to best access healthcare services in the area. A mental health care worker also will be added in the

■ from Page A1 earned, but he’s always wanted to be a physician. “Since I was 10 years old, I imagined myself wearing a white coat and dreamed of being a doctor,” he said. “It seems God has pointed me in the right direction. God’s plan is a beautiful plan, so everything fell into place.” While Santosa has been in the U.S. for a long time, most of his family still resides in Indonesia. He had two brothers who lived in New Jersey, but who moved back home, and a sister who lives in Florida, who helped him move and settle in Bandon. He says he’s become “Americanized” but still enjoys Indonesia food, and enjoys cooking traditional Indonesia fried rice on occasion. “I used to go to a restaurant in Philadelphia to eat Indonesian food and would be a happy camper, bringing home leftovers to enjoy,” he said. He’s enjoying Bandon and the people he’s gotten to know so far. “It reminds me of Indonesia here,” he said. “Growing up, we used to go to the mountains where there are a lot of pines. It smells the same here.” Santosa’s focus at the Southern Coos Health Clinic is helping patients manage chronic conditions, such as heart, lung, gland, diabetes and high blood pressure. He is currently taking new patients and hopes to build up his practice. In his spare time, Santosa enjoys sight-seeing, traveling, hiking and walking, along with occasional antique store browsing. His philosophy for medicine is to “treat everybody like you want to be treated, respect everyone and understand what their problem is.” “I hope to care and understand people and be helpful for the community,” he said.
Dream “As long as the wood allows it, I’ll carve it!” said Vorwaller. One favorite piece is the 9-foot-tall Sasquatch that welcomes customers to their store just south of Bandon. Vorwaller’s gift for carving realistic animals into furniture is breathtaking. He has carved horses, elk, a life-size cheetah, a howling wolf and bears into benches and lamps. He also custom carved a 9foot-bear that holds a 22-foot waterway log built into a family’s pond’s waterfall. “The entire concept and danger of carving with a chain saw is exhilarating,” said Vorwaller, “I love the challenge and of working with the wood’s interesting features and beautiful

It is then up to me to bring it to life.” The 10-foot carving of the pelican on a pier surrounded by turtles, star fish and sea horses emerged from a crazy looking Douglas fir log. The log had big burls, so its texture swirls like waves around the sea creatures. “While carving, I am totally lost in my imagination as I carve out the animals’ characters and personalities.” “Human and animal faces fascinate me,” he added. “Creating custom pieces for customers

Resigns tee chairman Peter Hughes at Monday’s City Council meeting, at which the resignations were officially announced by Mayor Mary Schamehorn. “Sometimes the joy of knowing all of you takes a back seat to necessity,” Hughes added. Committee member Don Starbuck said the mass resignation was impromptu, but all members were in agreement that it was the right thing to do. “Some were considering it,” he said. “I hemmed and hawed, but the more we discussed this,the more determined we got about what we needed to recommend. When we were told to be more neutral ... We can’t be neutral. We have to speak out and give the
■ from Page A1 facts as we know the facts. “There are counterarguments and we can’t address those if we’re neutral,” Starbuck said. “Now we’re in a position to address this problem that faces the city.” Committee members included Hughes, Starbuck, Patricia Soltys, Madeline Seymour, Roy Ashworth, Bob Berry, Kristina Campina and council liaison Brian Vick. Ballot Measure 6-150 would amend the City Charter to authorize the council to increase water, sewer, and/or electric rates no more than 5 percent per year. The proposal originated with the Water Resource Committee, who were appointed to plan for and advise the mayor, council and city manager
on water quality, supply, resources and watershed protection issues. Bandon’s utility rates cannot be increased without a vote of the people, based on a charter amendment passed by voters in 1995. The committee concluded that the city cannot maintain its utilities without having control over rate increases. Soltys said the entire council and the city manager are behind their decision to resign. She said committee members were angry at last Tuesday’s meeting, but have now taken that energy and formed a political action committee called Secure Bandon’s Future and will be campaigning under that name.
“The city has never challenged this charter amendment,” Soltys said. “If the town wants to grow beyond what it is, we need more water. We are at this time OK, but if something changes, we won’t be OK. We have to think ahead to avoid a crisis.” The last water rate increase was in 2006, in an election that followed a citywide boil-water order when a clarifier broke at the water treatment plant. The committee has proposed the city build a reservoir to store water, as well as make other improvements to the utility. “Something has to change,” Soltys said. “We can’t just sit back on our hands and say we don’t want higher rates.”

■ from Page A1 coming months. Holmes is currently taking new patients. “Our mission is to serve all the unmet needs of the community,” Holmes said. For example, he said, “There is a huge mental health need here and people who show up at the clinic for whatever reason who might have a mental health need can be seen right here. We will try to give people care in one place, rather than fragmented.” CCHC has already partnered with others in the area for a coordinated care approach. Holmes is grateful for the professional staff at CCHC who all are committed to helping the community. “There’s not a weak link in the clinic,” he said. Holmes believes in universal healthcare and that people shouldn’t live their lives in fear of getting sick. “Political parties may not agree about how to get that done, but I think everyone should have it,” Holmes said. “It would benefit everyone in many ways.” In his spare time, Holmes enjoys writing poetry and walking the beaches collecting rocks, which he then tumbles and polishes. With his Eagle Scout background, he hopes to possibly start a rock club for local youth. “I’m always happy on the beach,” he said.
inspires me to excel. So I combine the two to touch people for an emotional response. As a surprise to a mother whose daughter, Brandy, passed, I did a memorial piece. Brandy loved mermaids, so I immortalized her into the wood as a mermaid. I worked on it for a year in my spare time. Once done, we invited her mother over and explained, through her tears, that it was our gift to her. It was a challenging piece, but I wanted to honor a mother in her time of loss.” That mermaid now sits on the Port of Bandon boardwalk, along with several other Vorwaller sculptures. “When we acquire our wood frugally we pass the

The Diana Brown You Never Knew By Deborah Maher
M
Happy on a walk at the South Slough the day before the news of a brain tumor.
y friend died on Sunday, Sept. 14th, just three and half months after receiving the devastating news that she had an aggressive, inoperable brain tumor. She got the news the day after a wonderful outing to the South Slough where she loved being with the “elementals” and all of nature. She was at home in nature and loved all of the smells, sounds and light. I have never known anyone to who felt so fully alive and at one with the beauty around her. Few, knew that Diana was an incredible artist, someone who imagined beauty and then made it happen. Julia Cameron, the author of The Artist’s Way, has said that art is a spiritual transaction and that, “…artists are
visionaries and that they routinely practice a form of faith and seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance—often visible to them, but invisible to those around them.” Diana was an incredible painter whose work had a mystical and whimsical quality to it, drawing you in and leading you to imagine a higher spiritual self. She was a beekeeper and harvested jars of raw honey that can be kept for years and years. She was a bird watcher and treasured the wide array of colorful birds that came to her backyard. She was a magic maker who created joy and a sense of peace and playfulness in her garden. She loved the ’60s music and had an amazing collection of records and a turntable to go with it; she loved to dance. She loved animals and most especially her beloved dog Peach, a bluepoint heeler. Often you could see her on long walks along the boardwalk and then up through her neighborhood. She loved homegrown, pure food, and she reveled in the smells and tastes of a variety of lettuce and greens (hard to believe, but true!) You may have known her as an activist, truth teller, rabble-rouser or troublemaker, but one thing is for sure, she was fearless and outspoken when it came to the rights of kids,
her neighbors struggling with water run-off from a city street, ethics and transparency in local government, true citizen participation and engagement, and a secure water supply. She believed in community and maintaining the specialness of this place. She loved the ocean, this amazing air, the people and all the possibility the future offers. She had an artist’s vision for making Bandon a kind and fair community for all. I will miss my friend, but like many people, I am grateful that I had the chance to really know her and am the better for it. She will always be a dear friend. Diana is survived by her loving sons Jack Brown Allen and his wife, Holly, two grandchildren Lily and Henry; and her son Drew Allen who lives in Costa Rica. She also is survived by two sisters who reside in Oklahoma and a number of loving friends throughout the U.S. There will be a celebration of her life including an exhibit of some of her artwork on Sunday, Oct. 12th at 2 p.m. at Pacific View (aka Heritage Place). I hope you will come to celebrate the life of an incredible woman, and the person so many of you never got to know.

Cross country girls win Regis Invitational Bandon Western World
Bandon’s girls cross country team made a statement in the Regis Invitational, easily winning the huge meet last week. Both Bandon teams had efforts filled with personal bests on the fast 5,000-meter course. Freshman Sailor Hutton stayed unbeaten for the season, winning the girls title in 18 minutes and 36 seconds. Teammate Aida Santoro was
second, dipping under 20 minutes for the first time this season with a time of 19:18 that was just faster than Catlin Gabel’s Maya Rayle. Hutton and Santoro led the Tigers to a team total of 47 points that was 90 better than runner-up Oregon Episcopal. Sarah Cutler finished eighth in 20:50, Weston Jennings was 13th in 21:59 and Shelby Tobiska was 35th in 23:27. Bandon’s other runners were Dani Cox, who was 41st in
23:41, and Helen Wayne, who was 74th in 25:24. In the boys race, Bandon finished fourth behind Catlin Gabel, Oregon Episcopal and Riverdale. There were 26 complete teams in the race. The Tigers’ top trio of Hunter Hutton, Josh Snyder and Zane Olive all finished under 18 minutes for the first time. Hutton was 12th in 17:21, followed by Snyder in 17th and Olive in 18th, both in 17:31.
Bandon’s other scoring runners both finished in the 18-minute range for the first time. Ben Bean was 51st (18:53) and Tim Hatfield 54th (18:58). Gabriel Castelli was 71st (19:21) and Seven Converse 77th (19:33). The junior varsity race was only 3,000 meters, so the times don’t compare straight across. But Bandon’s girls had four of the top 11 runners, with Kori Nemec third (14:04), Emily Moore fourth (14:12), Chrissy
Tigers fall to Bobcats
Volleyball team loses matches Bandon Western World

Bandon’s Sunset Conference football opener came down to missed opportunities as the Tigers fell to visiting Myrtle Point 22-6 on Friday night. Now the Tigers face an uphill battle for one of the three playoff spots in the Sunset Conference, especially with the emergence of newcomer Toledo as one of the league’s top teams. Bandon is on the road this week against winless Waldport. The Tigers will look to bounce back from their game against the Bobcats. Bandon gave away three turnovers in the game and had a few other drives stalled deep in Myrtle Point territory. “We’ve just got to clean up our play,” Bandon coach Silia Polamalu said. The Tigers gave up a 51-yard touchdown on Myrtle Point’s opening drive on a halfback pass from Jake Miller to Damon Price. “The halfback pass hurt,” Polamalu said. After Bandon’s first turnover — a fumble — and a stop on downs, the Tigers responded with their own touchdown. Quarterback Quentin

On the run Trae Dyer carries the ball for the Tigers Friday night during their game against Myrtle Point. Dyer scored Bandon’s touchdown in the 22-6 loss. Coomer hit Trae Dyer with a pass and Ben Strain provided a huge block to free up Dyer for a race down the sidelines 42 yards for a touchdown. Unfortunately for Bandon, the Tigers couldn’t find the end zone again. Three drives ended in Myrtle Point interceptions. The Tigers also drove to Myrtle Point’s 11, 25 and 9 without scoring. Bandon had just one punt.
Myrtle Point, meanwhile, got a combined 309 yards rushing from Miller and Isaac Godfrey, mostly in small chunks. “They didn’t get anything easy,” Polamalu said. The Bandon coach was pleased with how his team battled the Bobcats. “The good thing is they fought hard all the way to the end,” he said. Bandon wasn’t able to get much going in its own running game. The Tigers finished with just 20
yards on 16 carries. Coomer completed just 17 of 36 passes. He was off the mark on some attempts and victimized by drops on others. Coomer went just 7-for22 in the second half. Dyer caught 6 passes for 144 yards. Shannon Forty (24 yards), Strain (23) and Jacob Taylor (21) caught three passes each. Trenten Gagnon had two catches for 32 yards. Matthew Rivera recovered a fumble for the Tigers.
Harbor Lights improves to 4-0 on season Bandon Western World
The Harbor Lights football team improved to 4-0 with two more wins in the past week. Last week, Harbor Lights beat Sunset 47-7. The Bandon club rushed for 228 yards on just 19 carries and added
Cartwright sixth (14:20) and Paige Smith 11th (15:03). In the boys race, Joshua Bruce was eighth (11:21), Skyler Hammons 14th (11:40), Ramon Munoz 39th (12:41) and Alexander Winston 58th (13:44). Bandon competes in the Myrtle Point Invitational on Saturday and then race at another big meet on a fast course next Wednesday when they participate in the Country Fair Classic at Veneta.
143 yards passing, completing four of five passes. Seven different players scored touchdowns. Sunset got its touchdown on a long pass. Aside from that Harbor Lights limited Sunset to 68 yards and also had a fumble recovery and an interception.
The Harbor Lights squad followed that win with a 53-0 victory over Coquille on Tuesday, the third shutout of the season. Harbor Lights passed 6-for-7 for 206 yards and also rushed for 115 yards on 15 carries. Coquille had minus 37
yards of offense and Harbor Lights forced and recovered two fumbles. “Coquille was the last team to beat us last season,” Harbor Lights coach Boe Pickett said. “The kids were happy for a win and getting our win streak to nine straight since our loss to Coquille last season.”
Bandon’s volleyball team fell to the Sunset Conference’s top two teams over the past week, both in sweeps. Last Thursday, Reedsport beat the Tigers 25-14, 26-24, 27-25. “Our girls had amazing hustle and fight,” Bandon coach Courtney Freitag said. “To be honest, I believe we would have come out the winners if we could’ve controlled our serves. We had too many missed, especially at crucial moments.” Raelyn Freitag had 11 kills, 21 digs and five aces in the loss. Toni Hall had five kills and five digs and Kaylynn Pickett had 20 assists, three aces and seven digs. Bandon wasn’t able to sustain the momentum heading into Tuesday’s match against leagueleading Myrtle Point, though. The Bobcats swept the Tigers 25-16, 25-19, 25-11. “It was not a very stellar performance on our part,” Courtney Freitag
said, adding that the Tigers struggled passing the ball, and because of that also struggled on offense. Hall had her best match at the net, with four blocks, and Pickett also had a great night, with 15 assists and eight digs. Raelyn Freitag had seven kills, 10 digs and a block and exchange student Maria Nicieza Mendez de Andes had 20 digs and two aces. “We definitely showed our inexperience and youth tonight,” Courtney Freitag said. “Our goal now is to find some confidence and be aggressive in everything we do, good or bad.” The Tigers sit in third place in the league standings, a game behind Reedsport, and play their next three matches at Gold Beach on Thursday, at home against Toledo for senior night next Tuesday and at Waldport next Thursday. Bandon also has two tournaments to get more court experience before the final league match at Reedsport.

Bradley, Garrison lakes stocked with trophy-size trout Local lakes: Last week both Garrison Lake and Bradley Lake were stocked with trophy-size rainbow trout. Last Thursday, ODFW cleared weeds from the Bradley Lake boat launch area so the trout could be stocked on Friday. This week Empire Lakes, Powers Pond and Saunders Lake will be stocked. Due to very low water levels lower Empire Lake will not be stocked, but instead an additional 1,000 trout will be stocked into middle Empire Lake and the remaining 1,000 trout will be released into Butterfield Lake.
