Mosquito management plan expected soon Bandon Western World

BANDON — An integrated approach involving improved tidal flow and utilizing larvicides, when necessary, is being developed to avoid a repeat of last summer’s mosquito infestation in and around the Bandon Marsh.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working closely with the Coos County Public Health Department, Coos County commissioners, members of Congress and experts in the field of mosquito control to develop an Integrated Marsh Management approach for Bandon

Public comment sought on plan Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, according to a press release from USFWS. The approach is expected to reduce mosquito breeding pools on the Ni-les’tun Unit of the refuge.

“Reducing the amount of mosquitoes at Bandon Marsh Refuge and at the same time improving fish and wildlife habitat is a priority,” said Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex project leader Roy Lowe. “The service is funding the

cost of both the habitat work and mosquito control on refuge lands.”

In addition to reducing the amount of mosquito breeding areas, the Integrated Marsh Management approach will improve the tidally driven hydrology of the Ni-les’tun Unit of the refuge, benefiting wildlife, including migratory ducks and shorebirds and anadromous fish such as juvenile coho salmon.

The plan calls for increasing the amount of tidal channels in the marsh,

which will allow for better tidal flushing, Lowe said. Tidal flushing happens with high tide each day and refreshes the saltwater in the marsh. Mosquito larvae require stagnant pools to complete their development, so increased tidal flushing will prevent the mosquito larvae from becoming flying adults.

Habitat modification is the primary long-term plan for managing mosquitoes at the refuge and the emphasis of the Integrated Marsh Management approach. However, the use of pesticides

Storms blow through These Monterey cypress blew down onto Bluff Avenue Southwest on Saturday afternoon during a storm with high winds that battered Bandon almost all day, with a slight reprieve Sunday, then continued Monday and Tuesday. Several power outages were reported outside of city limits, along with other reports of downed trees. Almost six inches of rain fell in the area last week but this weekend looks dry, with temperatures in the mid-40s to 50s.

Why did the Land exchange vote postponed until April beaver cross the road?

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — A Bandon couple has a local police officer to thank after a potentially unfortunate event involving an angry beaver was narrowly averted Saturday evening.

Kimberly Jonas, owner of the Book Nook in the Continuum Center in Old Town, was headed home with her husband Lee about 6:30 p.m. after closing shop.

Near the Ferry Creek bridge just east of Face Rock Creamery on U.S. Highway 101, Jonas noticed a large adult beaver in the highway, trying to cross.

It was dark, raining hard with strong winds and low visibility and Jonas was concerned that the beaver, which was apparently trying to get to the creek on the south side of the highway, would get hit by a car.

It is the state animal, after all.

“We stopped to help and it was still closer to the north side, so we got out and tried to make it go into the creek on that side of the highway,” Jonas said.

“My husband was running around the highway, waving his jacket.”

Jonas realized it was a long jump into the creek from that side. Besides, the beaver would have no part of it and instead of retreating, began to charge the couple.

A vote on a proposed land exchange to pave the way for a new golf course to be built south of Bandon has been postponed to April.

At the Feb. 5 meeting of the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission, the commission tabled actions on the Grouse Mountain acquisition and Bandon State Natural Area Exchange. They originally planned to revisit both items on Feb. 20, but have now removed the Bandon exchange

from the agenda, tentatively scheduling it for April 9 at their Bend meeting.

“Bandon has been removed because some documents are simply not ready enough to be considered,” said Chris Havel, spokesman for the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission.

If the exchange is approved, Bandon Biota, owned by Bandon Dunes Golf Resort owner Mike Keiser, will receive 280 acres of the Bandon State Natural Area south of town, where Keiser hopes to build a 27-hole championship golf course.

In exchange, Bandon Biota will transfer 208 acres to the state park system — 111 adjoining the Bandon State Natural Area and 97 adjacent to Bullards Beach State Park. Bandon Biota also will spend about $300,000 on gorse control in the Bandon area, and pay as much as $2.95 million to help the state buy a 10-acre parcel known as Whale Cove in Lincoln County and part of the 6,300-acre Grouse Mountain Ranch in Grant County that will be turned into a state park.

Elementary kids caught being good Bandon Western World BANDON — Ocean Crest Elementary School honors students who are observed doing something helpful or kind with the monthly “Caught You Being Good” program.

During the month, students who are “caught being good” are listed on a slip of paper, which is put into a box at the school

office. At the end of the month at the Friday PRIDE assembly, 15 names are chosen from the box and those students are given a golden dollar, a pencil and a certificate. The Bandon Lions Club provides the prizes for the program.

COOS BAY — Students and graduates from federal TRIO programs at Southwestern Oregon Community College will participate in a service learning project at Washed Ashore in Bandon on Saturday, Feb. 22, as a way to show appreciation to the community for its support of the TRIO programs. For millions of students from low-income families who strive to be the first in their families to attend and graduate from college, seven federally funded programs called TRIO are making a world of difference.

Unlike student financial aid programs which help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, the TRIO programs (Talent Search, Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math/Science, Veterans Upward Bound, Student Support Services, Educational Opportunity Centers, and the Ronald E. McNair PostB a c c a l a u re a te Achievement Program) have been providing valuable supportive services to students from poor and working families to help them successfully enter college and graduate for over 40 years.

Southwestern received its first TRIO grant in 1992 and today has four TRIO projects serving nearly 1,300 families in Coos, Curry and western Douglas counties. Students who participate in TRIO programs are twice as likely to enroll in and graduate from college as students from similar backgrounds who do not receive these services.

According to Dr. Arnold Mitchem, former president of the Council for Opportunity in Education, an education association

that represents TRIO students, college graduates and professionals nationwide, “These programs work because they are run at the local level, studentcentered, performancebased and non-bureaucratic.”

Today more than 1,200 colleges, universities, and community agencies host more than 2,800 TRIO projects that serve approximately 790,000 young people and adults. Thirtyfive percent of TRIO students are white, 35 percent are African-American, 19 percent are Hispanic, 4 percent are American Indian,3 percent are AsianAmerican, and 4 percent are listed as “other,” including multiracial students.

Seven thousand TRIO students have disabilities.

TRIO services include assistance in choosing a college; tutoring; personal and financial counseling; career counseling; assistance in applying to college; workplace and college visits; special instruction in reading, writing, study skills, and mathematics; assistance in applying for financial aid; and academic support in high school or assistance to re-enter high school.

The directors of Southwestern’s TRIO programs want more people on the southern Oregon coast to know about the services of these programs. They also want people to know that TRIO programs work and should be expanded to serve more students from low-income families across Oregon.

Planning Commission takes public comment on Woolen Mill zoning A public hearing will be held before the Planning Commission at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, in the Bandon City Council chambers regarding proposed amendments to Bandon Municipal Code to repeal the Woolen Mill overlay zone.

The proposed zoning code amendments are a follow-up to the City Council’s repeal of the Woolen Mill Refinement Plan last August.

Since adoption of the Woolen Mill overlay zone regulations in 2004, there have been significant changes in the nature and rate of industrial, commercial and residential development in the city of Bandon, according to City Manager Matt Winkel.

As proposed, the amendments would expand the number and type of uses allowed on all LI — Light Industrial zoned property, while adding restrictions and

design standards to the LI zoned property within the area bounded on the north by Second Street Southeast, U.S. Highway 101, on the south by Sixth Street Southeast, on the west by Elmira Avenue Southeast and on the east by Grand Avenue Southeast.

A copy of the proposed amendments can be found on the city of Bandon website at www.ci.bandon.or.us. (click on “Documents”).

COOS BAY — The Coos County Retired Senior Volunteer Program will lose its grant funding July 1, it was announced Friday.

In addition, the 35year-old program will no longer be affiliated with Southwestern Oregon Community College because it was unsuccessful in securing a federal grant, said Arlene Soto, director of the Small Business Development Center at SWOCC. People may still volunteer, but the director, Christine Coles — the only paid position — will be out of a job, she said.

Soto said SWOCC didn’t apply for the grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service because they knew Oregon Coast Community Action was applying for it.

They hoped to move the program to ORCCA; however, ORCCA didn’t receive it either.

Soto said SWOCC may apply for a future grant.

Coles will be taking direction from the CNCS regarding the future of RSVP, she said.

OPINION

A4 • Bandon Western World

“Nothing so diminishes democracy as secrecy.”

— Ramsey Clark former U.S. attorney general, 1967 Thursday, February 20, 2014

Letters A newcomer’s welcome The weather today is misty, rainy and majestical as I gaze through the windows overlooking a pasture with a mama, papa and baby geese eating and bathing, ducks in and out of the pond, a llama named Lani, Precious the lamb and goats, birds and an occasional eagle soaring through the sky. How much I am learning about creation from all the animals!

I moved to Bandon this past week, but it already seems like home. Sunday I worshiped in the quaint little Presbyterian Church. I was not a stranger; many members greeted me with a smile, a handshake, kindness and compassion.

After church I met tourists from Germany, friendly staff and customers at a local coffee house. Outside, I basked in the warm sunshine. Is it really winter on the Oregon coast? Maybe it is paradise.

While I share with the friendly locals, they are not only helpful, but they are a wealth of information, telling about the area, the services, the restaurants and the beautiful beaches and parks. I also learn about the many activities.

This is truly a new beginning for my friend and myself. Each day there are windows of opportunity for adventure, friendships and treasures.

Thank you, Bandon.

Doughnut shop idea is fantasy A recent letter to the editor suggests that a doughnut shop employing 140 people would be the economic equivalent to the Jordan Cove LNG terminal. On a spectrum from hard fact to pure fantasy, where does this suggestion lie?

There is, of course, no way that Coos Bay-North Bend could support a doughnut shop employing 140 people. Voodoo Doughnut moved to Denver after opening a 20-employee shop in Eugene, a town six times the size of Coos Bay-North Bend.

Even one shop would cannibalize the current bakery business in the Coos Bay area.

But let us suppose then this suggestion is allegorical. That some combination of boutique retail stores could come to Coos Bay and create 140 new jobs.

Scaling up Voodoo’s reported revenue, a 140employee store would have sales of $2.2 million and a payroll of $2.45 million. The average worker could earn $17,500 per year working fewer than 40 hours per week with no benefits.

Nearly all this revenue must come from the pockets of local customers. There would be no new economic activity.

For Jordan Cove, we would have 150 direct hires earning an average $75,000 per year plus benefits, for a total payroll of about $13.5 million. Many of these will be imported workers, as the current labor force will not have the necessary skills, training and experience to safely operate an LNG terminal.

But this should not be considered a detriment. For in addition to the direct hires, as with any industrial jobs, there are on average 2.5 to 3 times as many indirect jobs created.

A number of indirect jobs will be paid for by Jordan Cove. Port workers, security, janitorial and vehicle maintenance, among others. There will be a need for hundreds of new homes, thus work for construction as well as more home maintenance, furnishings, etc.

With new families, there will be a need for dozens of new teachers, increased staff in local hospitals and more business at local stores. Possibly even a new doughnut shop.

So while the direct hires and others may be imported, there will be 300 to 400 new jobs in the community going to locals.

Who pays for this?

There will be more than $2.5 billion worth of natural gas moving through Coos Bay. This river of money will pay for every job and every good and service in this expanded economy.

The wages will go into the local economy, with people buying homes, shopping and paying for utilities.

While many times the economic benefit of a boutique retail outlet, this is minor compared to the near doubling of the Coos County property tax base with the construction of a $7 billion industrial plant.

For Jordan Cove, when complete and in operation, will have an assessed value greater than all the property in Coos County at the moment, even with tax waivers, adding up to $40 million to tax receipts that are now at about $60 million total. The effect on every school, city service, police and fire department will be immense.

A hundred boutique stores employing a thousand retail workers would merely end with our churning the same old money a little harder, making froth and get-

The magic doughnut shop saving Coos Bay is nothing more than fantasy.

Doughnuts or natural gas?

In the Feb. 6 issue of Bandon Western World, Bob Fischer suggests that instead of exporting LNG, “we” build a doughnut shop in a safe area.

This is a splendid suggestion, I’m all for doughnuts.

To me, in my dotage, there are few things in life that are more pleasing than munching on a doughnut and washing it down with a steaming cup of coffee.

We do not need to build a doughnut shop in a safe area. There already is one. I understand the proprietor had to discontinue the business due to ill health. The building is on U.S. Highway 101, just as you are coming into Coos Bay from Bandon and Coquille. This building was a flourishing doughnut shop at one time and now it lies vacant, fallow and forlorn, awaiting someone with ambition, vision and determination to give it life again.

How about it, folks, which would you rather have: Doughnuts or natural gas?

A fine mess thanks to Obama Since our health care consumes one-sixth of our economy, I agree that some adjustments and modifications are definitely needed. However, my experience in the industry for many years, followed by many years in farming, has convinced me that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has been handled horribly.

Previous experience has shown me that if you have a major problem with numerous parts, the best approach is to divide it into many sub parts, make corrections to that one part, make sure it operates correctly, then move on to another part. Many parts of our health care were working well. We just needed some tune-ups, not a major overhaul.

Our country is a republic. Webster’s Dictionary states, “A republic in a state in which the supreme power rest in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them.” Every poll or survey I have seen indicates very clearly that the general public in this country

does not favor or approve of Obamacare. Recently, I saw a poll where 68 percent (over two-thirds) of our country is against Obamacare. What are our representatives thinking? Obviously they are not representing us. In addition, if Obamacare is so wonderful, why don’t they have to live under the same care provisions that they expect us to live under?

Of course, I am glad that there are many who will benefit from Obamacare, but here again, it appears that a lot more citizens are being hurt than helped. Are you going to save $2,500 on your medical insurance this year? Can you keep your same doctor? Are you going to be able to keep your same insurance coverage?

In The World newspaper last week was an article about Bay Area Hospital losing as much as $300,000 in Medicare reimbursements this year and maybe as much as $3 million in 2015. Now, how do you suppose that financial shortfall will be covered?

For those old enough to remember, in the 1920s and 1930s there were a pair of comic actors, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. They were forever having problems and Oliver was always telling Stanley, “Now here is another fine mess you have gotten us into!” I think we can all be telling the same to Mr. Obama, “Here is another fine mess you have gotten us into!”

Wayne Scherer Bandon

Let’s move forward together Are you in the majority when it comes to these seven important issues?

Seventy-two percent of Americans are in favor of raising the federal minimum wage. Fifty-five percent of Americans do not want the Affordable Care Act (i.e.

Obamacare) repealed. Fifty-five percent of Americans think that same sex marriages should be recognized.

Eight-six percent of Americans want early childhood education for all children. Seventy-two percent of Democrats and 60 percent of Republicans want immigration reform. Ninety percent of Americans want background checks for firearm sales. Eighty-eight percent of Americans think our government should create jobs by spending money to repair our crumbling infrastructure.

I am in the majority and so is the Democratic Party.

Now if we can just convince the Republicans in Congress to change their minds and vote yes, instead of blocking progress. Let’s all move forward together and bring the United States of America into the 21st century.

‘The Trip to Bountiful’ From left, Cathy Underdown, Geneva Miller and Bracken Barnett portray characters waiting at a bus station in “The Trip to Bountiful,” which opens Friday at the Sprague Theater. Tickets are available at Bandon Mercantile, Bandon True Value Hardware, Billy Smoothboar’s and at the door.

‘Trip to Bountiful’ opens Friday at Sprague The award winning play “The Trip to Bountiful” is coming soon to the Sprague Community Theater in Bandon. Presented by the Bandon Playhouse with director Jason Tree, the play opens Friday, Feb. 21, with weekend performances through March 9.

Written by Horton Foote, “The Trip to Bountiful” balances themes such as family discord with compassion and humor. “‘The Trip to Bountiful” is a powerful script about a woman’s yearning and journey to ‘go home again.’” said Tree. “The play has everything: Drama, humor and wonderful characters. The author is a master. I joined this project out of respect for the writing and feel it is a great honor and challenge to attempt to bring this work to the stage and give it its due.”

Set in Texas, 1953, “The Trip to Bountiful” follows the journey of widow Carrie Watts. Eager to quit the confines of a three-room Houston apartment — and the tense relationships between her son, daughter-inlaw and herself — Carrie plans her escape, back to her beloved farmstead in Bountiful. As Carrie’s story unfolds, each character she meets is drawn in by her fragility and resolve.

“Director Jason Tree has brought together a wonderful cast that has done an outstanding job at bringing this tale to life,” said Bandon Playhouse President Dan Barnett.

Johnna Hickox, Bracken Barnett and Geneva Miller portray Carrie, Ludie and Jessie Mae Watts. Bandon residents Dan Barnett, Dulce Havill, Nicholas Martin, Cathy Underdown and Gareth Williams round out the cast, with Stephanie Precourt as assistant director.

Tickets are on sale now. Advance ticket purchase available in Bandon a Bandon Mercantile Company, Bandon True Value Hardware and Billy Smoothboar’s. Tickets are available at the door, or make a will-call reservation, 541-551-1498.

Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $8 for children under 12.

She is the 1997 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion, holds a Bachelor’s of Music in violin performance from Berklee College of Music and performed and taught across North America, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, China and Africa.

A graduate of the Juilliard School, Block is an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music and performs with many groups, including Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble.

Conversation These events are intended to gather individuals, businesses and city officials together to discuss the status of food within their communities.

The conversations are formatted to be casual discussions covering a range of topics from distribution, processing, branding, education, markets and more, according to Tim Smith, food systems analyst and RARE AmeriCorps volunteer with the Oregon Food Bank.

Facilitated by Spencer Masterson, community resource developer at the Oregon Food Bank, the idea is to identify existing assets in the community, discuss the different challenges being faced within the food systems and come up with solutions to those

problems along with a work plan to achieve each goal.

The discussions will include how to improve health and nutrition in Bandon and Coos County and how to support the local food and agricultural community.

This also is a great networking event for those interested in local foods projects, Smith said.

“We are trying to start a meaningful dialogue on the challenges the community faces when dealing with food access, nutrition education, industry and more,” said Smith. “We hope that this event draws community members together and focuses them in the right direction to start meaningful projects to ensure a more sustainable Bandon.”

Those attending are asked to share knowledge, ideas and concerns, prioritize what they want, contribute to a plan and begin to take action.

All attending are invited to share a meal with community members (food and beverages will be provided).

It is hoped the event will address such issues as hunger and nutrition as well as access to local food and agricultural production.

To RSVP, email Smith at smithjlh@gmail.com or Michelle Martin at michelle@scdcinc.org or call 541-266-9753.

The event is sponsored

If you’ve never seen an angry beaver, it’s pretty intimidating, Jonas said.

“It stamped its front feet, then rose on its hind legs and hissed at us,” she said.

She called 911 and asked the dispatch operator to please get a local officer to come and help.

The operator laughed and dispatched Bandon police.

Officer Tony Byrd arrived on scene but couldn’t be convinced to stop highway traffic to allow the beaver to cross.

The beaver would be fine, he said, and didn’t require human assistance.

By this time, the animal was hiding in blackberry bushes just east of

the Station Restaurant by the mayor’s former house.

“I tried to convince him that the beaver needed to get to the creek,” Jonas said. “I told him it was the state animal and that yesterday was the state’s birthday. And I reminded him of images everyone’s seen of police officers leading ducklings across busy intersections.”

It was his opportunity to be a hero.

Finally, Byrd agreed and he and Lee Jonas used branches to shoo the animal — all approximately 50 pounds of it — across the highway while Byrd waved a flashlight to warn

Plan

motorists.

The beaver slapped its tail loudly on the pavement as it scurried across, then quickly disappeared into Ferry Creek.

The entire incident took about 45 minutes, Jonas said. After which, she burst into tears.

“I just couldn’t leave the beaver there, I just knew it would try to cross the highway again and I was about to form a human chain and get some flares to help it to the creek,” she said.

Emotions aside, Jonas said she really appreciated Byrd’s efforts.

“He was willing to help and he didn’t think I was nuts,” she said.

for mosquito control on refuge lands also will be proposed because the habitat work cannot be completed in time to prevent the expected fly-offs of mosquitoes later this spring.

To manage mosquitoes in the short term, the service is proposing to use larvicides that they believe have minimal negative environmental effects to kill mosquitoes in their aquatic immature life stages before they can become flying adults.

“Coos County Public Health will be working with the service to plan for appropriate mosquito control at Bandon Marsh Refuge,” said Coos County Public Health

Administrator Nikki Zogg.

“The county will be conducting mosquito monitoring and control on refuge lands aimed at protecting human and wildlife health from threats associated with mosquitoes,” she added.

The public will have the opportunity to review and comment on the Integrated Marsh Management approach, which includes a draft Mosquito Pesticide Environmental Assessment and the draft S u p p l e m e n t a l Environmental Assessment for Phase 4 Tidal Marsh Restoration for Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, before they are final.

The draft documents will be available in the coming weeks. The service invites the public to review and comment on the draft documents and encourages active participation.

To be added to the mailing list to receive the documents call the refuge office at 541-867-4550 or email oregoncoast@fws.gov.

In 2011, Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge completed the restoration of 420 acres of historic tidal marsh.

“This tidal marsh restoration is the largest ever in Oregon and is already substantially benefiting fish and wildlife,” Lowe said. “However, an unanticipated byproduct of the restoration was the large population increase of the salt marsh mosquito (Aedes dorsalis). No other salt marsh restoration effort in Oregon has experienced this issue before.”

Community Vote for E.A.T.

Zonta Club supports fund for free mammograms The Zonta Club of the Coos Bay Area, for the third straight year, has awarded a $592 grant to Southern Coos Health Foundation to help pay for mammograms for the uninsured.

The club was the first to donate to the foundation’s free mammogram fund, and members have continued to support it through their mini-grant program.

In the past year, 54 women received the potentially life-saving screening, according to Melody Gillard-Juarez,

Southern Coos Health Foundation executive director. For those without insurance, the program is easy to access.

Just call the hospital, 541347-2426 and ask for medical imaging. Tell them you qualify for a free mammogram. Fill out a simple one-page sheet when you come to reception for the mammogram appointment, and the bill comes to the foundation.

Gifts from individuals, businesses and civic organizations like Zonta make the program possible, Gillard-Juarez said.

Boys look ahead to Class 3A playoffs Bandon Western World

Bandon’s boys basketball team couldn’t come up with a big home win over Coquille last week, meaning the Tigers likely will be on the road in the Class 3A playoffs, their fate not determined until the rankings are finalized Saturday night.

At least the Tigers know they are in the playoffs, one of their big goals for the season. And their 60-27 win over Glide in the regular-season finale Tuesday also means they share the Sunset Conference title with the Red Devils after the teams finished with matching 10-2 records.

Unfortunately, both Bandon losses in league play came to the Red Devils, meaning Coquille has the top seed for the Class 3A playoffs and a home game.

The Red Devils secured that by outplaying Bandon 59-49 on Friday.

The Red Devils played lock-down defense on Evan Henson for the second time, limiting the senior post’s touches, and Bandon didn’t convert enough other shots.

“Coquille did a real good job on Evan,” Bandon coach Ken Nice said.

“They frustrated Evan. Our kids around him got tight.”

Bandon led 18-11 after the first quarter, but Coquille pulled away from there. Henson scored 10 points, while Tristian Davidson led the way with 17 and Logan Shea had 15.

No matter who Bandon faces in the playoffs — Creswell, Blanchet Catholic and Nyssa are three possibilities — Nice thinks the Tigers can be dangerous.

“I think we’ve got some weapons,” Nice said.

Bandon also been tough on defense all year.

“We may have to grind out a playoff game,” Nice said. “That’s the nature of playoff games.”

Knowing the season was continuing made senior night better for Henson, Shea, Derik Cox, Shawn Peters, Jon Wilhite and Mason Berry.

“It was nice to have senior night and know we have a couple things still to play for,” Nice said.“It’s been fun for our kids.

I said, ‘Let’s keep this ride going as long as we can. It’s been fun watching you guys progress as a group.’”

Henson had 15 points and Shea nine in Tuesday’s win. Mitchell Brown and Davidson, two of the players who should have key roles next year, scored seven each.

“It was senior night and there was an unfocused environment,’ Nice said.

“They played hard. They had some good moments throughout.

“Our young guys that look to be next year’s group looked pretty good when they went in in the fourth quarter.”

ration,” Bandon coach Amanda Duey said. “After her ACL surgery, she worked her tail off to get back to play her senior year.”

In her six games on the floor, she averaged 10 points.

“But her contributions were not limited by her injuries,” Duey said.

“She is our team leader and will be greatly missed.”

Bandon’s other senior was Alana Hultin, who did not play before this season.

“She is a born athlete and a great leader on the JV team,” Duey said.

“Even though her varsity minutes were limited, she always took on the challenge. We are so thankful she came out this year and she, too, will be greatly missed.”

Bandon’s girls basketball season filled with injuries came to an end on an emotional senior night Tuesday.

The Tigers fell 54-25 to Sunset Conference champion Glide, leaving Bandon winless in the league season.

But the night gave Bandon one last chance to recognize Hailey Iverson, who had a big impact on the team over four seasons, including this year when she missed all but six games after suffering a knee injury last summer and then an injury to the other knee during the season.

“Hailey has been such an inspi-

In Tuesday’s loss, sophomore Raelyn Freitag led the Tigers on offense with nine points. Kori Nemec scored five points, Krista Peters had four, Ally Richert scored three and Savannah Williams had two.

Bandon’s other game during the week was a 70-28 loss to Coquille.

Richert had nine points in that game.

Bandon finished the year 2-17 overall and 0-12 in league play, though the record is somewhat misleading since the Tigers started with a relatively inexperienced squad and then Iverson, Freitag, Nemec, Toni Hall and Liza Skeie all missed time with injuries during the season.

Garrison Lake is good for trout while rivers are running high Anglers bank fishing from the 12th Street boat launch on Garrison Lake in Port Orford have been reporting decent rainbow trout fishing. One angler reported catching a 21and 25-inch rainbow in two separate outings recently. He told us he was using a cocktail shrimp he bought at the market fished under a bobber. Garrison Lake is scheduled to receive 4,850 legal-size trout the second week in March and 300 trophy-size trout the week of March 17. Next week Bradley Lake, Johnson Mill Pond, Powers Pond and Saunders Lake are all scheduled to receive 3,000 legal-size rainbow trout.

Local rivers: Last weekend most South Coast rivers and streams were at flood stage and were unfishable. As the heavy rains subside this coming weekend, look for the smaller rivers and forks of some river to drop and start fishing again.

Rivers that clear the quickest are the Chetco, Elk, north fork Coquille, east and west fork Millicoma and Tenmile Creek.

February is traditionally one of the better months for winter steel-

head fishing on the South Coast, so look for fishing to be excellent as rivers get back into shape.

Pa cific Ocea n an d beac hes: A series of large storms have hampered any effort by sport boats or surf fishermen in the past week. As the weather subsides, look for excellent ling cod fishing to resume on the ocean and jetties.

Area shellfish: Because of the large amounts of fresh water entering the bays on the South Coast, crabbing will remain slow.
