Port of Bandon receives grant Bandon Western World

BANDON — The Port of Bandon received approval from the Oregon State Marine Board for a grant to renovate the vehicle and boat trailer parking near the port’s boat launch ramp in Old Town.

The Oregon State Marine Board approved the grant for the Port of Bandon during its quarterly board meeting April 22 in Salem.

The port plans to renovate a portion of the vehicle and boat trailer parking to provide stalls for larger vehicles and trailered boats, as well as adding on single-car spaces to an adjacent parcel of land recently acquired by the port.

Port General Manager Gina Dearth explained that the area is between the existing boat and vehicle parking area and the Old Town Marketplace building.

The lot will be extended toward the Old Town Marketplace by several feet, but the two lots will continue to be separated, Dearth said. It is hoped, however, that the Old Town

Contract is awarded for wastewater improvements Bandon Western World

BANDON — After reviewing proposals from seven bidders, the Bandon City Council at its April meeting awarded a contract for improvements to its wastewater treatment system.

The council awarded the bid to low bidder Pacific Excavation Inc., in the amount of $1.2 million for construction of a new sludge dewatering system at the wastewater treatment plant at the east end of Old Town on Riverside Drive and renovation of the old North Avenue pump station.

According to City Manager Matt Winkel, the dewatering system will improve plant efficiency, help avoid potential permit violations, improve the ability to control odors and reduce sludge hauling and disposal costs.

BANDON — Get out your repellent, the infamous saltwater marsh mosquito, Aedes dorsalis, has arrived for the season.

But residents should not expect a repeat of last year’s unprecedented infestation.

This year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, coordinating with Coos County officials, mosquito management experts and others have assured the public they have a plan that will not only control the mosquito population this year on and around the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge Ni-les’tun Unit, but prevent such overpopulations from happening in the future.

However, officials believe that the unseasonably warm weather has hastened the first fly-off of the season and they were unable to prevent the first saltwater marsh mosquitoes from reaching maturity.

A fly-off, differentiated from a hatching, is when the salt water marsh mosquito, which goes through four larval stages before it matures, is finally able to fly from its marshy home and seek blood meals.

However, only the females venture away.

The fly-off was expected to hit

Little squirts Evidence of mosquito larve is present at varying levels in ponds on the Bandon Marsh. This dip sample shows two larve, at 3 o’clock and at 7.

Bandon last weekend. The rain over the weekend slowed the process somewhat, but residents have already reported seeing increased numbers.

“We don’t expect it to be anywhere near last year when we had the first fly-off,” said acting Bandon Marsh manager Madeleine Vander Heyden. She is the interim manager

with the departure of Dave Ledig, who recently took a job outside the region.

USFWS officials gave a detailed update at a meeting Thursday evening for the newly formed Coos County Vector Assessment Control Committee at The Barn in Bandon.

Employee of the Month for April 2014

Did you know?

Did you know that there were no dentists on the Mayflower?

It’s true! When the Mayflower landed in 1620 there were no dentists on board. The first barber dentists arrived in 1630, and began helping the Pilgrims, by pulling teeth that had not been cared for in ten years. And the toothbrush hadn’t been invented yet. What a job!

We’ve come a long way! With excellent dental care from Dr. Strong, you will protect your teeth, look great, and feel even better. With dental implants, you can now keep your smile for a lifetime! We’re here to help!

Letters Food Hubs could work here Why do people move to Bandon? There are no fishing or timber-related jobs here anymore. People come for the natural beauty, the rural way of life, to spend time outdoors in moderate weather any time of year.

That rural lifestyle has led many folks in the Bandon area to grow organic berries, fruits and vegetables.

Some do it just for fun and to enjoy healthful food.

Others actually plant more than they use and set up roadside stands. Too, in the case of Abby’s Greens in Langlois, they sell directly to restaurants on the South Coast.

Some local growers would like to sell their product to organic food processors. In fact, representatives of Amy’s Kitchen, the largest organic food processor in the country, expressed serious interest in using Bandon’s homegrown products when they visited Bandon in 2005.

Amy’s Kitchen has since relocated one of its major processing facilities to Central Point and is ready for product. Some in Bandon are ready to send it just two and a half hours over Highway 42 to Amy’s in Jackson County. What’s the hold up?

A facility known as a “food hub” is needed. Fresh food has to be cleaned with proper water, stored in a certain way and prepared for shipping in bulk. The city of Bandon has the water and the property but no interest in the idea of creating a food hub here.

The city and Port of Bandon worked together to control development of city-owned industrial property in the area of the new cheese factory, known as the Woolen Mill Addition. Other than the rebuilt cheese factory, they’ve not had much success in generating job-creating activity here for a long, long time.

What is a food hub? In the interests of brevity we summarize the USDA’s Rural Development Service Report No. 73 entitled, “The Role of Food Hubs in Local Food Marketing.”

Along with cleaning, washing, storing and providing a hub for organic food distribution to processors, food hubs may have retail sales of local produce, much like Bandon’s Little Farmers Market did for 12 years, beginning in 1999. Not a market like the port runs now.

It takes people to do the work, to handle the products appropriately and make sure the goods are sent out in a timely manner. That’s real jobs. Economists tell us a dollar turns over seven times in a community like Bandon. Money goes from shoppers to the local seller who uses it to buy supplies locally. In turn, the supplier spends it in the community, pays wages, on and on.

Seven times.

Is organic food just a passing fad? Not at all. The organic food industry in the U.S. is growing dramatically — up 20 percent each of the past 15 years, according to Oregon Department of Agriculture. The number of food hubs nationwide is up from a handful 20 years ago to over 1,000 today. And more than half are co-ops or nonprofits.

A Bandon-based nonprofit, Wild Rivers Coastal Alliance, is exploring a food hub here now to address one of its core goals: Helping the South Coast economy.

When this idea was first broached here in 1987, then-City Manager Ben McMakin favored it. But the current administration has frowned on it ever since McMakin left 20 years ago.

If the city has something better in mind to produce jobs here, where is it? Why not give a food hub a reasonable try, support it and help it grow? After all, the only beneficiaries of most of the dollars generated would be Bandonians.

End student drug testing At the beginning of the current school year, the Bandon School Board instituted a mandatory drugtesting policy for students who participate in sports and other extracurricular activities sponsored by the Oregon School Activities Association. Many in the community thought, the school district overreached in taking this action, because there is little evidence that student drug testing reduces drug use. At the same time, the policy is intrusive, expensive and undermines parental control.

The results of a national survey recently published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence www.springerlink.com/content/40182687327vg7w2/ revealed that students who participated in sports while undergoing mandatory drug testing stopped using only during the testing period. Students who were already using pretest went back to taking drugs when the testing period stopped at the end of the season. In short, mandatory drug testing had little to no long-term effect on drug use among student athletes. In some cases, students simply substituted drinking hard alcohol for smoking pot, because alcohol does not stay in

the blood stream as long, reducing the odds of a positive test. Interestingly, our school district tests for marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and opiates when research shows that today the drugs students most commonly abuse are prescription drugs and steroids.

The school administrators have promised that the results of the drug tests will be confidential. However, there are too many people involved in administering the tests to guarantee privacy and nothing is secret in a small town. What happens if the student who fails a drug test is not a serious drug abuser, but a teenager who wanted to play sports, did a dumb thing, and is now humiliated and stigmatized by a process outside of parental control? What if the test result is a false positive?

Schools used to teach The Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” They are supposed to give children an education, not a criminal record. Students are people, not suspects, so school boards and administrators must take into consideration the long-lasting fallout from “feel-good” policies that, in the end, do more harm than good.

Unfortunately, without strong, vigilant parents there are few mechanisms in place to stop the injustices and harm caused by failed school policies. Drug abuse is a serious concern. We need to work cooperatively with the school authorities and be smarter about how to fight it. Informed parents backed by a concerned local community should unite and take immediate action to end mandatory drug testing of students.

Please show up and speak out for the rights of the students when the school board reviews their Drug Testing policy at the next School Board meeting in the district cafeteria on Monday, May 12, at 6:30 p.m. and let’s find a better way.

A wonderful buffet Hats off to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort for putting on such a great Easter buffet.

We arrived shortly after 11 a.m. and the display of food was tremendous, everything looked great. I started with salads and cheese then moved on to the prime rib which was cooked to perfection and the fresh veggies and fingerling potatoes. Then it was off to the dessert section, which was incredible: Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate and of course there were also great pecan pies, fresh berries and more.

It was a great way to celebrate Easter, with good food and seeing friends while watching golfers finish their rounds. Then I went home and watched the Boston Bruins school the Redwings 4 to 1! Go Boston — Boston Strong.

Kudlac will have new perspective It has come to my attention that there exists a question about the experience of candidate Shala McKenzie Kudlac, as far as having no experience as a sitting judge.

As we know, the existing judges, now sitting, were not born as judges. They were elected for the first time with no sitting experience.

As a voter, I look at the values I believe are going to be practiced. By voting, I’m voting for what I, as a voter, believe in.

At some point all incumbents will be replaced. I support Shala as candidate for the fact of her knowledge of the area and her solid approach as an attorney. I feel confident she will approach the bench with a new perspective.

Lance Cox Bandon

Voting for Beaman I have had the pleasure of knowing Cindi Beaman since 1999. I was her secretary while she was an assistant public defender with Southwestern Oregon Public Defenders in the Curry County office. I found her to be bright, energetic and dedicated to serving her clients.

While at the public defender’s office, her caseload included criminal defense, juvenile matters, both delinquency and dependency, and also mental health cases.

It has been my good fortune to remain associated with Judge Beaman following our time at the public defenders’ office. I attended her swearing in and have watched her career with great interest. I am proud to think of myself as her friend.

Her service to the citizens of Coos and Curry counties as judge of the 15th District has been exemplary. It is my hope that the voters of Coos and Curry counties will agree with me and join me in voting for her. She deserves the opportunity to continue her excellent service in the capacity of Circuit Court judge for the 15th Judicial District.

Maureen Johnson Gold Beach

Thanks for running, Shala Having a choice when we vote is great. Thank you Shala McKenzie Kudlac for running for Circuit Court judge. Throwing your hat in the political ring these days, by running for office, is something that most folks would rather avoid. And so we have many unopposed candidates on our ballots offering the voters little choice, especially with judgeships.

Shala grew up in Curry County, is a fifth-generation Oregonian and Curry County gal. So I think she will be very inclined to stand with the people she serves and not above them. She and her family are known by many of us, and she is a respected attorney in both Coos and Curry counties.

Shala and her supporters are asking the voters in Coos and Curry counties to elect her as Circuit Court judge. Let’s take the opportunity Shala is giving us to have a real choice in who we want as our Circuit Court judge. Thanks again for running, Shala McKenzie Kudlac.

Kudlac would be a benefit Oregon’s branches of government needs some new energy, which is why I’m asking for your support in voting for Shala McKenzie Kudlac for Circuit Court judge. The judicial branch of government is not immune to the election process, though it is perceived to be as so rarely is there an election. Governors often appoint judges and those judges remain until retirement, never allowing the public a voice in their selection.

This year in Coos and Curry counties the voters will select a judge. Shala McKenzie Kudlac a local attorney with a strong civil practice who has stepped up and is opening the doors for a conversation on your judicial branch. Shala brings a new perspective and a desire for change and improvement. She has a wealth of experience and a background in dealing with the public in an open fashion as a municipal attorney and as assistant county counsel. She knows that in order to win people’s trust they have to be respected regardless of their background or perspective.

I have known Shala McKenzie Kudlac for 10 years and have found her to have a practical approach to the law and a reasonableness in working with people. She would be a benefit to both Coos and Curry counties in the position of judge.

Mosquitoes Almost 40 people attended, with several commenting after the update.

Bill Bridgeland, Bandon Marsh biologist, told those present that USFWS listened to their comments and concerns over their initial plan was unveiled and because of those concerns, decided to use Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, or Bti, instead of a more toxic larvicide.

“I assure you we’ve come up with a plan we think will work” said Vander Heyden at Thursday’s meeting.

“Many resources have been thrown at it for many months and we are ready to move forward.”

Vander Heyden said draining the marsh, which has been suggested by some residents, is not an option and is counterproductive to the USFWS’s mission.

“We think there is another way to resolve the problem,” she said.

The plan, which received final approval and the required permits Friday, involves a twopronged approach: A ground application of larvicide coupled with reducing mosquito habitat by improving tidal flow throughout the restored area of the marsh. This will be done by creating more than 40,000 feet (6 miles) of new channels to drain the pools that are breeding areas for mosquitoes.

Coos County Public Health is the lead agency regarding the application of larvicide and Jim Wallace, who has been hired by the county as a field technician, moni-

WORLD

VETERANS of Coos County Coos County has around 61,000 people, this includes 8,400 veterans.

May 20th is Election Day for 2 county commission seats.

Veterans, when is the last time you heard a candidate even mention veterans when talking or asking for your vote?

During the month of April, I have attended many meetings regarding the formation of the South Coast Community Foundation (SCCF) which has been formed to spend monies anticipated from the proposed Jordan Cove gas facility. The SCCF will receive a share of service fees money from Jordan Cove when projects start, instead of waiting 8 years for the county taxes to kick in.

The SCCF, as it is now, is a self-appointed group of three who need the county commissioners to appoint them to give the SCCF standing. They want the commissioners then to appoint a fourth person and then the four members can appoint three more for a total of seven. They now refuse to adopt Oregon public meeting laws and their bylaws are “iffy” at this time.

My concern is that the county commissioners have yet to show any leadership and demand the present SCCF shall adopt state public meeting laws and proper by-laws and the county commissioners shall appoint the four members to the SCCF. Veterans, it’s time to vote, the direction of county government is headed in a direction that has political groups in the driver’s seat and the average citizen is out.

Why in the world would we allow 10% of the voters control 90% of the population?

We have more than enough votes to change the direction of county government and make it work for all of us. If you know people who think their vote does not count, try to get them to vote, it counts this time. I would like to suggest two names:

tored a ground application of Bti on the marsh Saturday and Sunday.

Bti is a naturally derived larvicide that kills mosquitoes in their aquatic immature life stages as they hatch in breeding pools. Bti targets mosquito larvae and is not considered to be toxic to bees, moths, butterflies, fish, mammals or birds.

The granular formulation will be applied by hand and backpack spreaders and restricted to areas within the Niles’tun Unit of the refuge.

Following Thursday’s presentation, several audience members had questions and some had criticisms. Some asked whether a more natural approach, using bats and swallows to control the mosquito population, would work.

Bridgeland said such an approach would not provide a steady food source for those mammals because of the mosquitoes’ seasonal appearance.

Others asked how much the approach would cost. Bridgeland said they don’t know until bids are returned, but the tidal improvements are estimated at $500,000, and the monitoring and application of larvicide is estimated at $160,000.

“Bti will effectively control mosquitoes on the Ni-les’tun Unit of the refuge while posing a low risk to wildlife, their habitats and the human environment,” said Refuge Project Leader Roy Lowe.

“Our long term goal at Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is to reduce mosquito breeding habitat, while also improving wildlife habitat on the refuge,” Lowe added. “To manage mosquito populations while those habitat modifications take place, Coos County Public Health will monitor mosquitoes on the refuge. They will treat

with Bti when necessary to prevent larvae from hatching into adults and flying off of the refuge.”

The Xerces Society out of Portland, which has been a vocal opponent over the use of pesticides to combat the salt water marsh mosquito problem in the Bandon area, applauded USFWS for the decision to use Bti. “I am pleased that USFWS has chosen a mosquito management plan that will not cause undue harm to the Marsh’s unique habitat and wildlife,” said Xerces Society Executive Director Scott Hoffman Black.

Funding, provided by USFWS, has been released to Coos County Public Health for monitoring and application of the larvicide. Wallace will monitor for mosquitoes on the refuge throughout the spring and summer in concert with refuge employees.

The county contracted with Vector Disease Control International to apply the larvicide Bti, as needed.

However, treatment of mosquito larvae was not able to move forward until the appropriate permitting and legal planning documents were completed, said Service officials.

That’s why the first fly-off was not prevented.

The channel creation work in the tidal marsh to eliminate mosquito breeding habitat is scheduled to begin in June.

USFWS evaluated and responded to comments received on the environmental assessments. This information, the environmental assessments and more are available for review on the refuge's mosquito web page http://bit.ly/BndnMsq.

Good Earth Garden plant sale Rushel Reed, left, explains the particulars of plants to a customer Friday morning at the Old Town Marketplace, where the Good Earth Garden held its annual plant sale. The event was well attended and silent auction items and baskets also raised money for the garden on Eighth Court.

Contract necessary due to the age and deteriorated condition of the existing pump station, Winkel said. The original cost estimate for the project was $2 million.

With a construction bid of $1,202,000, plus $312,950 for engineering, the total estimated cost of the project is now $1,514,950, with $485,050 remaining for contingencies or a reduction in the overall cost.

Funding will be provided by a $750,000 grant and a $1,250,000 loan from the Oregon Business Development Department — Infrastructure Finance

The Bandon High School choir will perform at the state choir competition May 8.

They include, back row from left: choir director Dave Weston, Kaemon Grundy, Gabriel Castelli, Sam Augsburger, Seven Converse, Alexander McKay, Dreyson Knauss, Dustin Wilson, Wyatt Chapman, Ryan Fodrea and Johnathon Garcia.

Front row from left: Mikhala Smith, Christina Cartwright, Emily Wilson, Erin Wheeler, Jennifer Whitney, Kayla Fodrea, Lucy Merriam, Beth Kreutzer, Kyleigh Hogan and Nichole Stitt.

■ from Page A1 Authority. The loan term will be 20 years at an annual interest rate of 1 percent.

Payments will be made from the existing debt service revenue stream.

Since 1994, the city has had annual payments of around $105,000 per year on the revenue bonds used to pay off the debt on the prior wastewater treatment plant upgrade. That prior bond has now been paid off, Winkel said.

Payments on the new loan are projected to be in the range of $70,000 per year, which will actually be lower than the prior debt service, he said.

BANDON — Bandon High School choir and band director Dave Weston is a proud teacher these days.

First the BHS band earned the honor to perform at the state band competition on May 15 and now the BHS choir has qualified to perform at state, which they will do today, Thursday, May 8, at George Fox University in Newberg.

To earn their trip to state, the choir sang at the Far West League Choir Festival on April 2 at the Marshfield High School auditorium. Groups can be automatically qualified with scores of 85 or higher, or if they have scores of 81 or higher from two of the three judges, they can be chosen to compete at the state level by submitting a recording.

The BHS choir received two scores of 81 or higher and submitted a tape, which qualified them to participate at state.

At the state competition, the choir will sing “Earth Song” by Frank Ticheli; “My God is a Rock” arranged by Gary

Walth; and “Prayer of the Children” by Kurt Bestor Wangol, a traditional Haitian song arranged by Stekn Kallman.

“The choir students are fun group to teach and have done a fantastic job this year,” Weston said. “Their hard work has paid off. For such a young choir — mostly freshman and sophomores — they have done a phenomenal job. This is only the start of what this group is going to accomplish!”

The students also are excited.

“It feels like it had to happen,” sophomore Sam Augsburger said. “We worked too hard for it not to. On to state!”

Sophomore Emily Wilson said, “Every individual in our choir would like to thank our director Dave Weston for pushing us to work as hard as we did this year. We had a wonderful year, but without Mr. Weston we wouldn't be going to state.”

Softball team falls to Devils and Glide Bandon Western World

Bandon’s first week of counting games in the Sunset Conference softball season resulted in three losses.

But the Tigers showed improvement in two of the three games.

Coquille swept the Tigers 10-0 and 33-2 on Friday. Glide beat Bandon 13-0 on Tuesday.

Though Bandon struggled to score runs in the first game against Coquille, the Tigers also kept the Red Devils from any big innings. Coquille didn’t score more than three runs in any inning against Bandon starter Cheyenne Young, who gave up 12 hits in six innings.

Carissa Guarino and Savannah Williams had two hits each for the Tigers, while Annemarie Pickett added a single.

The second game got out of hand when Young left the pitcher’s circle with Coquille leading 62. The Red Devils scored 27 runs in the next two innings.

Bandon had five errors in each of the games against Coquille, and five as well against Glide, but all five against Glide were in the infield.

“The game was pretty well played against a strong Glide team,” Bandon coach Rick Hinojosa said. “The outfielders really stepped up and made the defensive without any plays dropped balls or missed grounders.

“That was so important against this hard-hitting team.”

The thing the Tigers really did better, he said, was not trying to make a very difficult play throwing out a runner advancing a base.

“We’ve had some games where going after a runner turns into a disaster,” Hinojosa said. “A bad hurried throw or missed catch ends up giving the opponent more runs on the board.”

Bandon managed just one hit against the by Ally Wildcats, Richert.

The Tigers, now 2-15 on the season, heading into a home game today against Gold Beach — it originally was scheduled for Friday, but moved up a day to accommodate the local officials association.

By Lou Sennick, Bandon Western World

Doubling on the Devils Quentin Coomer gets a hit for Bandon that turns into a double in the first inning of their game at Coquille on Friday afternoon.

Tigers sweep Coquille, fall to Wildcats Bandon Western World

Bandon’s path to the baseball playoffs is clear, though not by any means easy.

The Tigers opened the Sunset Conference season with two wins over Coquille before a 12-2 loss at Glide on Tuesday.

None of those results were surprising — Coquille has a young team learning on the fly after not fielding a program last year and Glide is one of the best teams in Class 3A. But the impact of the loss to the Wildcats is that Bandon needs to sweep Glide in the season-ending doubleheader to reach the playoffs, since the Sunset Conference only gets one bid this year.

To beat the Wildcats, Bandon will need to play a clean game, which it didn’t do this week.

Glide led the Tigers 3-0 before scoring four runs in both the fourth and fifth innings. In both cases, two-out errors opened the floodgates for the Wildcats to get all their runs.

“That’s what I was preaching to the kids,” Bandon coach Jay Ferrell said. “It’s a 3-2 ballgame if we can get a third out in the fourth and fifth innings. And that’s the No. 3 team in the state.”

The errors — Bandon had four in all — hurt the Tigers. So did a few base-running errors.

But the Tigers also need a little better production on offense.

Bandon got both its runs on a double by Coleton Jackson in the third inning, which scored Robert Martino and Derik Cox. Jackson had three hits in the game. So did Quentin Coomer.

The rest of the team only had one hit.

Coos County Meet is Friday night Bandon Western World

Bandon’s track team will have its final tuneup for the district meet on Friday night when the Tigers join the rest of the schools from the county in the annual Coos County Meet.

The field events start at 5 p.m. and the running events begin at 6 p.m. at Marshfield High School.

The meet is the oldest annual meet in the state.

The Tigers will look to gain momentum for the district meet, which they will host next Friday and Saturday.

Field events will start at noon and running events will start at 1 p.m. on Friday. The start times Saturday move up an hour to 11 a.m. for field events and noon for running events.

The Tigers, Coquille and Glide of the Sunset Conference will be joined by five Class 3A schools from the South Cascades League — Cascade Christian, St. Mary’s, Lakeview, Illinois Valley and Rogue River.

The top two finishers in each event will advance to the state meet in Eugene.

The Tigers were more productive in the sweep of Coquille, when Bandon won by scores of 15-4 and 5-1.

Bandon had 12 hits in the opener and broke the game open early by scoring four runs in the first inning and eight in the second.

Coomer had a double and Cox had a three-run triple in the win.

Quinn Hamblin had three hits, two runs and three RBIs. Jackson went 2-for-4 and scored three runs.

The offensive explosion was important after Bandon suffered a no-hit loss earlier in the week Valley against Umpqua Christian.

“I thought our approach at the plate was good,” Ferrell said after the doubleheader. “We were really working all week after our Monday fiasco on hit-

ting hard ground balls and line drives.”

Bandon won the second game of the twin bill with Coquille through a strong pitching performance by Coomer, who allowed eight hits, but just one run, while striking out 10 batters.

“Quentin probably had his best outing,” Ferrell said. “He was really sharp.”

Meanwhile, Bandon didn’t have any errors.

The Tigers scored all their runs in the third inning, when they got singles by Martino, Coomer and Hamblin, along with an RBI groundout by Jacob Shamloo.

The Tigers are back in action today with a home game against Gold Beach. The contest originally was scheduled for Friday, but was moved up a day.

Golfers seek state berths next week Bandon Western World

Bandon’s golf teams will learn in the next few days whether they will advance to their upcoming state meets.

Both squads of Tigers will compete in their district tournaments on Monday and Tuesday at Bandon Crossings. The top two teams and top five individuals advance to the state tournament.

Bandon’s girls are a virtual shoo-in for state, since none of the other schools in the special district have regularly fielded a complete girls team. The Class 4A-3A-2A-1A district includes the entire Far West League.

The Tigers, meanwhile, have consistently scored well with a squad including Grace McMahon, Michelle Whitney, Nina

Pelayo, Liza-Mae Skeie and Alaina Russell.

Bandon’s boys are competing with Gold

Beach for a spot in the Class 3A-2A-1A tournament. Oakridge likely will win the district title.
