Youth Center asks director to step down By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World
BANDON — The Bandon Community Youth Center board of directors asked Executive Director Ollie Jones to step down, effective June 30. According to Board Chairman Chris Powell, Jones was sent a letter last week telling her the board wants to “pursue new leadership for the Youth Center.” Jones has been executive director of the Youth Center since August 2011. She replaced former director Harv Schubothe, who retired after working in that capacity for several years. In addition, the terms of two board members of the

Electric rates to increase Bandon Western World
BANDON — Residents may want to do more permanent energy saving measures this summer. The city of Bandon Budget Committee has approved a proposed 5.83 percent retail electric rate increase. The increase is expected to become effective with electric bills issued on or after Aug. 1. According to City Manager Matt Winkel, the rate increase would mean an approximate additional cost of $5.99 per month —from $102.72 to $108.71 — plus 10 percent tax, for an inside-city residential
customer using 1,400 kilowatt hours per month. Outside-city rates are higher, although the 10 percent tax is not applied. The rates for other customer classifications would be adjusted proportionately. Winkel explained that the city of Bandon purchases all of its electric power from the Bonneville Power Administration. Those wholesale rates, including both power and transmission costs, increased by an estimated 12.32 percent — from $35.47/MWh to $39.84/MWh — on Oct. 1, 2013. “Electric Fund balances have continued to be monitored to
determine whether a retail rate increase would be necessary,” Winkel said. “Although there was no rate increase last year, a retail rate increase of 5.83 percent has been included in the proposed fiscal year 2014-2015 budget to offset the BPA wholesale rate increase.” The last retail electric rate increase was a 5 percent increase in 2011. Since the proposed retail rate increase is intended only to offset the latest BPA wholesale rate increase, it would be allowed by the City Charter without requiring voter approval.

BANDON — Small ports on the South Coast are a step closer to millions of dollars in new dredging funds, after the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved the conference report for the Water Resources Reform & Development Act of 2014 on May 22. The bill, which authorizes funding for Army Corps of Engineers navigation, flood control and environmental restoration projects, now just needs to be signed into law. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, successfully fought for a provision that guarantees the nation’s small ports, including those in Southwest Oregon, will receive annual funding for dredging for the next eight years. In recent years, the budget for small ports was zeroed out due to a lack of funding. Ports ranging from BrookingsHarbor to Gold Beach, Port Orford, Bandon and the Port of Siuslaw also have been affected by the lack of maintenance dredging. According to Port Commissioner Robert S. Miller III, the Port of Bandon seems to require, for normal, adequate bar channel dredging, about three to four days of dredging per year. A day of dredging costs about $90,000 per day, per Army Corps of Engineers accounting protocols. “If there were no federal funding for dredging, we would have to find another $300,000 to $400,000 in our budget to do normal levels of dredging,” Miller explained. “To put that sum in perspective, we would have to double our tax base, or double the taxation on our

Punchbowl is the newest ODOT moves Langlois speed offering at Bandon Dunes posts back to original location By John Gunther Bandon Western World
BANDON — Festive music marked the opening of the newest addition to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on May 20 as the Langlois Mountain Scottish Fiddlers played outside the clubhouse at the Pacific Dunes course while the first guests enjoyed the Punchbowl, the resort’s new putting course. In the future, the late-afternoon sounds will come in the form of hoots and hollers as groups of golfers make their way around the 3-acre putting facility.
The Punchbowl isn’t your average putting green. With a combination of dramatic slopes and subtle contours, it is more like a playground to entertain and challenge even the best golfers who visit the resort. “It’s fabulous,” said Christopher Smith, a golf pro at Pumpkin Ridge near Portland, who was in town for the festivities. “It’s got a little Augusta National. Sometimes you are going 90 degrees from where you want to end up. “What a great concept.”

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World
LANGLOIS — Residents here are relieved to learn that the Oregon Department of Transportation has agreed to move the town’s 40 mph zone back to its original location. ODOT moved the 40 mph zone April 9 after a resident requested they lower the speed through town to 30 mph for the safety of children at the preschool and other residents who walk along the U.S. Highway 101 there. The 40 mph zone was moved from Floras Creek Road to in front of Piercy
Suites, about a quarter-mile north. ODOT’s one-day study in January revealed that 78 percent of the vehicles in that area were exceeding the 40 mph speed, so they recommended rescinding the zone. ODOT’s report referred to the “absence of roadside culture,” a phrase that rang hollow with residents. The uproar from residents prompted a standing-room only meeting with ODOT May 1, then another meeting May 22. “We provided options and one was to

I was raised by two stacks of books, Playing hide and seek between their chapters. When I slept, they tucked me into fairytales. My best friend was a novel slipped under a pillow, She was the kind that could keep secrets, And always said yes when I asked to play. I learned early to read emotion; The independence of indentation, The anger of punctuation, The despair of an ink smear, But battered bindings always fanned my tears away, And words whispered happiness back into my bones. I learned early that the worst kind of pain Is as simple as a paper cut, but That's never stopped me from turning the page.

I just love the Raven Why did Poe sound so sad? Why was he so dreary? Was he lonely, or mad?
I'm totally involved, I must see this to the end I'll finish this book, Then I'll begin it again.
I'm reading my tales To escape from your presence But I still don't know why We were so mean to the peasants?
Because reading is life And life is pretty great Was that a baby Zeus swallowed? Or a rock that he ate?
I just love the words! Fact or fiction will do I'll read about history Maybe vampires too.

Get a kit, make a plan, be informed According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Red Cross, the mantra for disaster preparedness is: Get A Kit, Make A Plan and Be Informed. Trust me when I say that survival is not a kit. Knowledge is more important than “stuff.” Preparedness and survival is all about a plan, your kit is simply a big part of your plan. I must admit that building a kit is more fun than making a plan, but it is all about a balanced approach to coming out ahead in the event of a disaster. For the past few weeks, I have been providing a shopping list and a list of tips for building a 72-hour kit. I firmly believe a 72-hour kit is only a good start. Your plan should be to extend your kit to a fourteen day supply as most disasters don’t know to stop at 72 hours. After seven weeks, those who participate will have a well-rounded starter kit that should see them through most

Commissioner Webb was last night and is, an outstanding commissioner as is President Scaffo who ran a great, tight meeting in a difficult situation. A special thank you to Commissioner Bassett, for the courage to wade through political pressure no doubt, and understand the situation presented to him is much bigger than just Port Orford. The South Coast Ports Coalition looks forward to bringing the new manager into the fold and up to speed. We’re going to miss you Gary, but not to worry about being forgotten, everyone knows where to find you and I hope until you start taking all those exotic vacations and living the life, you’ll continue to be available to the Coalition.

Port manager will be missed
Bio-disaster on the South Coast
Congratulations to the commercial fishing fleet, residents of Port Orford and beyond and the three port commissioners and port manager who took the time, energy and courage to get educated and educate others on the current plot to turn 1,340 square miles, which includes 33 miles west from the mouth of New River to the Rogue River Reef, into a National Marine Sanctuary (federal government) under the guise of improving the economy in Port Orford. The question has to be asked to the small group behind this who have been quietly maneuvering to ruin the economy of the commercial fish, crab and shrimp fleet, coastal ports from Brookings north and the untold numbers of sport fishers, whose very existence provides millions of dollars to local economies all along the coast in an already well managed program on several levels by the agencies in place. What the heck are you thinking? Haven’t you already claimed enough? Having worked for a port for 26 years and the last six as a port manager, I have never attended a port commission meeting where one commissioner’s behavior was so totally shameful towards the port manager while the other stated he had submitted questions to a National Marine Sanctuary board over a year ago and was willing to continue wait before he could determine if a NMS was good idea. Gary Anderson has given 20 plus years to the Port of Port Orford and the treatment he received at that meeting was appalling by one commissioner in particular. Know this Gary. You are well respected and supported not only by the South Coast Ports Coalition but
Public law 107-188 was passed by the 107th Congress in 2002. It is the national preparedness for bioterrorism and public health emergencies. It opens with, “To improve the ability of the United States to prevent, prepare for, and respond to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies.” By enabling millions of mosquitoes on unexpecting inhabitants, the USFWS neither prepared for, prevented and eventually caused a public health emergency. This spring, they set up a meeting on what was to be done. Presented was a new document. The preferred plan was to do nothing. They also had an alternative plan, which was to fund the county, for personnel and their subcontractor. They monitor and apply BTI to ponds. BTI is an organic compound that’s not harmful to fish and wildlife. An over-the-counter variety is sold to ranchers to put in stock tanks and ponds. Homeowners use it on fish ponds and water features. Could this whole mess have been avoided and the continued successes of the marsh been mosquito dunks? The USFWS doesn’t use chemicals or organic compounds, so they’ll fund the county to mop up the mess. The preferred plan to do nothing, well, “that would have been criminal,” according to public law 107-188. Paul Fisher Bandon

out to Hiemer Kiefer and our maintenance staff for getting our facility ready. Our grounds looked great for the event. I would also like to recognize our scoring table staff, finish line staff, our starters Earl Lang and Tom Brown, and our clerk Brent Hutton. Their jobs are intense and working together is critical to get accurate results. I also can't thank the rest of those that volunteered enough. Whether it was those who worked field events, in the concession stand, or at the dinner and breakfast that was provided, know that your help is much appreciated. All of you helped make Bandon look good at this event. I would also like to thank our coaches, Sharon and Sean Haga. They have done a great job with our team. They went above and beyond in setting up the meals for the teams. We received numerous compliments about the food.

Wild Rivers Coast native plant exhibit in PO A truly unique botanical experience awaits those who attend the Wild Rivers Coast native plan exhibit from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, May 31, at the Port Orford Public Library. “We are fortunate to live in one of the most botanically diverse areas in the nation, with a high concentration of rare and endemic species,” said a spokeswoman. This year, Wild Rivers Coast members are hoping to collect and display a modest 100 species to begin to showcase the area’s natural wealth. There also will be visual aids to identify the rare species that cannot be collected. U.S. Forest Service botanists, Clint Emerson and Kailey Clarno, will be on hand to answer questions and guide discussions of native plant ecology and local rare species. The group is hoping this will serve as an introduction to the vast botanical diversity the region is known for, and that from year to year, the exhibit will grow in size and interest.

move (the sign back to its original place) and also to add enhancements for intersection signage and bike and pedestrian signage,” ODOT District Manager Darrin Neavoll said of the May 22 meeting. “We agreed to work on some things this summer and get back together this fall,” Neavoll said. Those will include traffic counts and speed studies in the summer rather than winter. Langlois residents also agreed the town needs to fund a welcome sign to encourage travelers to slow down and even stop and stroll. In addition, ODOT has now placed an electronic speed sign across from the library that lets drivers know how fast they’re going. It will be used

throughout town this summer. “Everybody’s relieved to start this over again and get more studies done,” said resident Carolyn Boothe, who attended both meetings. “(ODOT) basically calmed everyone down, but (people are) still really upset.” As to lowering the speed to 30 mph, Neavoll said that likely won’t happen. Not only is ODOT driven by Oregon Revised Statutes regarding highway speed, there’s no precedent along the coast for such a zone in an unincorporated area. The only area outside a city that has a less than 40 mph zone is Gardiner, which is 35 mph. That zone hasn’t been revisited for many years, Neavoll said, and was probably set when the mill was active and should be changed.
Dredging constituents, to pay for dredging were the federal government to drop out.” Not dredging is not a very attractive option, Miller added. If the Port of Bandon didn’t dredge, it risks the bar channel silting in and becoming unusable for commerce, which would ultimately risk the homes, businesses and lives of those living in the Bandon South Jetty and Bandon Old Town areas from river flooding. Miller said that because rules Congressional presently prohibit “earmark” funding, restoring funding to the Port of

Bandon required a creative team effort. “We are able to get dredged this year and now in future years, due to the great representation we’ve received from the Oregon delegation, Coastal Caucus, governor, port commissioners and the incredible collaboration of the South Coast Ports Coalition which includes Brookings, Gold Beach, Port Orford, Bandon, Coos Bay, Umpqua and Siuslaw,” said Port General Manager Gina Dearth. Miller also credits DeFazio, who he said has been particularly effective
Director three-member board are up June 30, those of Powell and Mellis See. Board member Angie Gonzales-Smith said the board has elected several new members, who include Kim Russell, Al Greenfield, John Ohanesian, Vicki Affatati and Shay Williams. Their terms have yet to be determined. “I’m looking at this as an opportunity for myself and the Youth Center,” Jones said Tuesday. “I think the community is lucky to have a youth center and I hope they continue to support it.” Starting June 11, when the Bandon School District releases students for summer break, the Youth Center will be closed until fall, according to a press release from Gonzales-Smith. “We will be conducting a director search and
■ from Page A1 will announce the timeline for applications soon,” Gonzales-Smith said. Jones has been under fire by some community members who felt she wasn’t providing adequate programming for or managing the center well. Jones has defended herself by saying she has been hampered by lack of funding, decreased attendance, deteriorating facilities and by additional duties overseeing the operation of Our Thrift Store, owned by the Youth Center. Both the center and Our Thrift Store are 501(c)(3) nonprofits chartered for public benefit. Our Thrift Store will remain open and hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. daily starting June 1. Youth Center part-time program aide Loreen Mills also will remain as an
Punchbowl Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser got the idea to build the Punchbowl from the general manager at Pinehurst, another resort, which has its own putting course. Pinehurst’s Thistle Dhu was, in turn, designed after the Himalayas, the famed putting course at St. Andrews in Scotland. Keiser commissioned Tom Doak and Jim Urbina, the architects for the resort’s Pacific Dunes and Old Macdonald courses, to build the putting course. He praised their work Tuesday. “If golf is supposed to be fun, this is fun,” Keiser said. “It’s also a challenge. It’s very tough. You can humiliate yourself.” Keiser found that out first-hand. His first trip around the putting course Tuesday was in a bestball match, teamed with KemperSports President Josh Lesnik against Bandon Dunes General Manager Hank Hickox and Director of Golf Jeff Simonds. The friendly match became more serious as Keiser and Lesnik tried to overcome a deficit.
in restoring funding to the Port of Bandon as well as other ports, and credits fellow Port Commissioner Rick Goché, who he said has been an effective advocate in Oregon and in Washington, D.C. “As a fisherman and businessman, Rick has done a good job of portraying our needs to policymakers far away from the Oregon Coast,” Miller said. Goché also is pleased with the legislation. “The full appropriation of HMT funds will free up staff and commissioner time,” said Goché.
The resort owner expects that concept to play out often in the future as golfers follow their regular rounds at the resort with casual putting contests at the Punchbowl. “From what I observed, when you have seven or eight groups, there’s a shout roughly every minute,” he said. Judging from the long line of golfers offering their congratulations to Keiser and Urbina on Tuesday, the Punchbowl will be a big hit. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Mick “The Barber” Peters of Bandon. “There’s so many shots you can try.” Peters was in the first group of regular guests to enjoy the Punchbowl during its grand opening, just like he was in the first group at the opening of Bandon Dunes and each additional course at the resort. The Punchbowl lived up to Peters’ expectations, built up over the past several months while he looked forward to opening day. “I couldn’t wait,” he said. “I knew it was going
employee, Powell said. Over the summer, the Youth Center board will organize at least two work parties. “Watch for two upcoming community work days to paint, landscape, etc.,” Gonzales-Smith said. “We also will have a contest for youth to rename the Youth Center, with a fantastic prize for the winner.” Community members are encouraged to volunteer on the work days or get involved with the Youth Center in some way. Gonzales-Smith said the board also will work on re-creating the center’s programs. “We are looking forward to working hard this summer to bring the youth of our community safe, engaging quality programming,” GonzalesSmith said.
■ from Page A1 to be special.” The Punchbowl was set up for 36 holes Tuesday. Depending on demand, it might regularly be set up with only 18 holes, and they will change constantly. “It’s limitless,” said Urbina. “The routings are ever-changing.” The resort does not plan to charge golfers to play the Punchbowl. With its proximity to the Pacific Dunes clubhouse, it likely will get a lot of use before or after meals. Stands next to the starting points for each hole also are designed to hold beverages the golfers are enjoying during their rounds. “I think it’s a great mechanism,” social Hickox said. “Guys do get tired after playing 36 holes, but they haven’t got it out of their system.” Which is why the course likely will be the site of hotly contested matches among friends. Keiser said the putting course is just as competitive as playing one of the full courses, but in a fraction of the time. “It’s basically golf on steroids,” he said.
“In recent years we have spent a lot of time and resources begging for dredging funds. Now we should have more time to spend promoting the port, planning for the future marina replacement and maximizing the benefits of the ports assets to all of the districts residents,” Goché added. “I can’t say enough about the help Congressman DeFazio has been. We are incredibly lucky to have had such a powerful advocate for the Port of Bandon in a key position on the transportation conference committee.” DeFazio criticized Congress in recent years for what he’s described as inappropriate use of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, which has left small ports such as Port Orford in a precarious position. Port Orford hasn’t been regularly dredged for several years, and the sediment buildup has forced fishermen to only launch their boats at high
tide. The House bill would guarantee that small ports would receive at least 10 percent of annual funding intended for dredging for eight years. The bill is expected to generate at least $90 million each year for the nation’s small ports. “This bill is a huge victory for Oregon’s coastal communities because it dedicates millions of dollars to long-overdue investment in our ports,” DeFazio said. “This legislation will create jobs, make conditions safer for Oregon’s fishing and recreation industries, and help the U.S. stay economically competitive.” The bill would force 100 percent utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund. The fund, fed by an import tax on marine shipments, is intended to be used for regular dredging of shipping channels. “With this legislation, we will ensure that harbor
maintenance dollars are spent on harbor maintenance,” DeFazio said in a press conference. The bill’s movement in conference comes on the heels of a March announcement that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would allocate $4.5 million to dredge the small ports in 2014. “The WRRDA Act of 2014, which is expected to be signed by the President, really does stabilize our funding prospects into the future, and allows us to plan and budget ahead with more confidence,” Miller said. “I’m personally proud of this moment, which I have been working for since 2009,” he added. “Back then, I highlighted the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund as an opportunity to solve the ports funding crisis and argued that the ports needed to band together and present a unified platform for advocacy. It seems to have finally come together.”

Bandon misses out on baseball playoffs By George Artsitas Bandon Western World

Tigers have successful state trip By John Gunther Bandon Western World
EUGENE — Bandon track coach Sharon Haga stood just outside the track at Hayward Field on Friday with nervous excitement. The Tigers were lining up for the boys 4x100-meter relay at the Class 3A state meet and Haga only had one wish. “I just want them to get a medal,” she said. They did — just like almost all the other Tigers. Bandon only had four girls qualify for state, plus the boys relay team. The relay, with Alex Winston, Logan Shea, Jacob Taylor an Mitchell Brown, finished in 45.37 seconds, the team’s best time by nearly .7 seconds. Bandon senior Hannah Smith missed her goal of setting a school record in the triple jump, but got a good reward for her efforts, the second-place medal. Smith leaped 34 feet, 8 3/4 inches on her final attempt to pass two others jumpers, including district champion Darian Wilson of Coquille. “Right before I jumped, I stared at the pit,” she said. “I knew it was my last jump.” She made the most of it. Bandon’s other two girls in the meet were sophomores, and they also had good meets. Toni Hall tied for third place in the high jump, clearing 5 feet. Hall cleared every height up to 5 feet on her first try. The event winner, freshman Catherine Clemens of Burns, got over 5-3. Willamina’s
Perfect pass Bandon’s Logan Shea hands the baton to Jacob Taylor in the 4x100-meter relay Friday at the state track meet in Eugene.
Kasey Anderson got over 5-2. “I’m just excited that I progressed,” said Hall, who placed fifth as a freshman. “I’m really happy. I cleared all of the heights on my first attempt.” Meanwhile, Aida Santoro had a strong meet in the distance races, taking third place in the 3,000 meters with a time of 11:11.47 on Thursday and came back Friday to place fourth in the 1,500 in a personal best 5:00.36. Santoro ran a great tactical race in the 3,000, sitting at the back of the main pack until Creswell’s Olivia Powell and Cascade Christian’s Stephanie Croy pulled away. Santoro then settled into third place. “I wasn’t happy about my time, but I’m happy about my pace,”
Santoro said. A day later, she was happy with her time in the 1,500, when she just missed breaking the 5-minute barrier for the first time. “I’m excited,” she said. “My goal was to get at least 5:04. It was a good end to the season.” The only Tiger who didn’t earn a medal was freshman Rowan Reimer, who got valuable experience while taking ninth in the long jump with a leap of 14-9 1/2. Bandon finished in the top 15 in the team race with a total of 23.5 points, which was just ahead of Coquille. The Red Devils got all 22 of their points from Darian Wilson, who placed second in the javelin, third in the long jump, fourth in the triple jump and sixth in the high hurdles.
Bandon’s baseball team knew coming into the season it was going to be an uphill battle to make the postseason. The three-team Sunset Conference rotates from one to two playoff teams each year, and in 2014, the Tigers got the short end of the stick. Coming into Friday, the Tigers needed to sweep Glide to steal the league’s only playoff spot. A pair of losses to the Wildcats ended Bandon’s season and the careers of eight Tiger seniors. Bandon was no-hit the first game by the Wildcats Jacob Fricke, losing 10-0 in six innings, and then lost the second 5-2. “We had a tough schedule this year,” Bandon head coach Jay Ferrell said. His team only played three teams with a sub-500 record. “Our RPI is really good, but with only a three-team league and only one getting in, it’ s a little tough.” Especially with No. 4 Glide in your league, Ferrell added. Bandon finished 9-13 overall, 3-3 in the Sunset Conference, and ranked 14th because of its schedule strength. “We didn’t exactly expect to make state,” senior catcher Shawn Peters said. “(Glide’s) pretty good and there’s only one spot, so not making it is pretty sad, but you have to be realistic.” With the Tigers graduating eight seniors, it offers a chance for some reflection on the past four years. “We had a good four years,” senior Derik Cox said. “We were part of some good playoff teams.”
Over the past four years, Bandon may have been a little spoiled with success. When the 2014 class was freshman, Bandon lost to Horizon Christian in the state championship game. Last year as juniors, the Tigers made the semifinalists and lost, again to Horizon Christian. “Looking back at the last four years, nothing tops freshman year when we got to the championship game,” stud senior pitcher Robert Martino said. Looking forward, first year coach Ferrell has a lot to get excited about these next couple of years. Next year he’ll return speedy sophomore Kohl Watson in center and have Quentin Coomer as his sole senior. Coomer had the Tigers only RBIs on Friday with a two-run single in the fifth inning of the second game. Stretching even further into the future, Ferrell has a good bunch of kids starting Babe Ruth this year. He expects about 10 of those kids to be on the team with some ready to start when they’re freshman in two years. “That’ll be the new wave,” Ferrell said. “I realize I got a lot of growth as a coach — and I’m excited about that.” But Friday was a night for the seniors, a group that Ferrell expects a lot off the diamond from in the future. “When you talk to these kids, the first thing they’ll talk about is school and then they’ll talk about everything said. Ferrell else,” “They’re just a good bunch of kids. Lotta success in the future for this bunch for sure.”
