Lots of new faces at Bandon schools

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — School will resume Tuesday, Sept. 2, for students except those in grades 10-12 at Bandon High School, who will have their first day Sept. 3. Registration was held last week, but any student who still needs to register can do so from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. today and Friday.

There are some changes for this year’s students in all three schools.

“We are looking forward to another awesome year and we extend a special welcome to our new students and new staff,” said retired Superintendent Diane Buche.

Some of the new faces joining Bandon School District include: ■ Amy Flora, Bandon High School

athletic director/dean of students, replacing James Freitag, who took an administrative job in Washington.

■ Michelle Inskeep, Harbor Lights Middle School principal, replacing Debbie Greenfield who retired in June.

■ Ocean Crest Elementary also will have a new principal, MaryRae Anderson, replacing Liz Olive, who retired in June and moved to Hawaii.

■ Jeff VanVickle has been hired as the new BHS language arts teacher, replacing Cindy Edson, who retired in June.

■ Nicole Kraynik has been hired as the BHS alternative education and HLMS computer teacher, replacing Gary Chrismon, who retired in June.

■ Carrie Biasca has been hired as a second-grade teacher at Ocean Crest to replace Adrienne Smith, who retired in June.

■ Amber Curtis-Trudell has been hired as HLMS language arts teacher, replacing Terry Rivas, who retired in June.

Over the next few weeks, the district also will be hiring two new custodians and a sixth grade teacher (for the position vacation by Amy Flora at HLMS), as well as a couple of teaching assistants.

“We look forward to helping you get to know our new staff members as well as our current staff. If you have any questions, please call us or come see us,” Buche said.

Buche also retired in June, but agreed to stay on through the summer to help with the new superintendent search. A candidate has not yet been hired, though the district is still reviewing applications.

New calendar and grading period The Bandon School Board approved

the 2014-2015 school calendar, which moves the district from a six-week grading period to a nine-week grading period.

This was done to allow more time between report cards, according to Buche.

The number of student contact days, conference days, and inservice days remain the same. The new nine-week grading period aligns with most other schools in the state. There are 10 inservice days, two conference days and six holidays. Winter Break is Dec. 19 to Jan. 5.

Spring Break is March 23 to 27.

Parents will receive progress reports no 1 less than every 4 ⁄2 weeks to keep them informed of their child’s progress.

Anyone with questions regarding the new grading period schedule can call or come in to talk to their child’s building

New store The Dollar Tree opened on Aug. 15 in a space that previously was home to Bandon Golf Supply and Begin Agains clothing resale. The location once was home to Sprouse Reitz, a discount variety store. The space was remodeled inside and out. Bandon Golf Supply moved to a different area in the Shopping Center and Begin Agains moved uptown.

Dollar Tree opens in Bandon Shopping Center

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — Dollar Tree Inc. North America’s leading operator of discount variety stores selling everything for $1 or less, has opened a new store in the Bandon Shopping Center, 120 Michigan Ave. NE. The store opened Aug. 15, and a ribbon cutting was held Aug. 23 and attended by Mayor Mary Schamehorn and a few city of Bandon employees.

The 10,020-square-foot store offers a variety of items, including brandname convenience food and snacks and featuring a refrigerated and frozen case in the back; household and kitchen sup-

plies; gifts and gift wrapping and party wares; school and office supplies; hardware; cosmetics; pet supplies; books and magazines; seasonal items and more.

The store was completely gutted and remodeled with a new facade and sign, as well as a sign close to U.S. Highway 101, after Bandon Golf Supply moved to a new location in the Shopping Center. It is roomy, with wide aisles and displays set up to be easily visible and tidy looking.

The Bandon Dollar Tree employs 15 permanent part-time people and a few full-time employees, including a manager, Jeff Papineau, who most recently

worked at the Roseburg Dollar Tree and is looking for a residence in Bandon, and assistant manager Lorrie Schoenborn.

Temporary employees will be hired seasonally.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Sundays.

“Dollar Tree continues to grow and is proud to be part of the Bandon community,” said Chelle Davis, Dollar Tree spokeswoman. “Our stores are open seven days a week and offer a fast, fun and friendly shopping experience.”

BANDON — A group of local parents plan to homeschool their children this year in response to what they feel is inaction on the part of the Bandon School Board regarding moving Ocean Crest Elementary out of the tsunami inundation zone.

At least 11 students, including her own two daughters, will not attend Bandon schools this year, according to resident Jaime Sterling, who has spearheaded an effort to get the school moved to a safer location.

Sterling is in the process of moving to McMinneville, partly because of frustration over the issue. Other parents say they feel they have no choice but to homeschool when the board has all but dismissed their fears as hysterical.

Parent are concerned that the most recent maps published by the Oregon Department of Geology and Minerals Industry indicate all three schools are either in or at the edge of the tsunami inundation zone.

Coos County Emergency Coordinator Mike Murphy and Sterling believe Ocean Crest, built in 1939, has a high probability — some experts, including a local structural engineer specializing in seismic construction, have said 100 percent — of collapse in the case of a major earthquake.

That earthquake would be followed by a tsunami, meaning a series of giant waves created by the earthquake could make their way up Gross Creek and right into Ocean Crest.

In response, the Ocean Crest Safety Committee, of which Sterling is a member along with teachers, Murphy and former administrator Liz Olive, who has retired and moved to Hawaii,

Education options include virtual public schools

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — More families are exploring virtual public school asthey consider various schooling options over the summer months.

Enrollment for the 2014-15 school year for the state’s leading tuition-free online public charter school, Oregon Connections Academy, is underway.

Parents interested in ORCA can attend real-time interactive online sessions with a school representative or view an on-demand session 24/7, according to Candy Farthing, interim executive director at ORCA.

Local students at ORCA Several Bandon students attend or have graduated from Oregon Connections Academy and have had

positive experiences.

Tim and Tina Spanberger of Bandon have two boys in ORCA, Trevor, in third grade, and TJ, in sixth. Tina describes her family’s experience below: “The main reason that we have decided to school our children from home, is that we want to make sure they get a proper education with plenty of one-on-one help. We switched to ORCA three years ago for several reasons. It is fully accredited with the state and the boys will be able to attend any college when they are done. ORCA is also free of charge to the parents because it is funded by school tax we already pay.

“As a parent I really enjoy not having to make the lesson plans every day. Each day is already planned out, so I feel more organized. My children also have the

An ice-bucket challenge to raise money for Caden Teddleton was held in Bandon City Park on Aug. 21, his eighth birthday. Caden received thirddegree burns on 30 percent of his body in a trailer fire that killed his two cousins and his grandmother in Coquille on June 25. He is still recovering at Legacy Emanuel in Portland, where he will be for several more months. The fundraiser was organized by Kayla Dugan and her mother Kay Tamalonis and family and friends. More than $200 was raised and will go toward medical expenses. Donations can be made at Umpqua Bank and at a spaghetti dinner and silent auction fundraiser at 5 p.m. Sept. 20, at the Coquille Community Building, 105 N. Birch.

Vision screenings required for schoolchildren BANDON — Every Oregon child who is 7 or younger is required to undergo a vision screening when he or she starts school or preschool to check for several eye diseases that can be treated successfully if they are caught early.

The new requirement was approved by the 2013 Oregon Legislature when it unanimously passed HB 3000. The b i l l received strong support f r o m Nicole Rush Oregon Health & Science’s Casey Eye Institute, as well as the state ophthalmology association and vision professionals throughout the state.

Dr. Nicole Rush of Bandon Vision Center, along with Dr. John Reslock and a new associate, Dr. James Sharp, as

well as Rush’s father, Dr. John Rush, all optometrists on the South Coast, are prepared to see this new influx of children and are reaching out to schools in Bandon, Myrtle Point, Coquille, Port Orford and Gold Beach.

“We are so excited about what this means for kids and schools in Oregon,” Rush said. “We anticipate less problems with disruptive children in class, just because of the simple fact that they can’t see. Less kids in special education classes and less children on ADHD medications.

Instead we will be giving them the tools they need to see and succeed in school. Often all of these problems are just because nobody realized the importance of having that annual comprehensive vision examination for these kids.”

Flyers were handed out to all of the schools in the area during registration

and glasses yearly with their health insurance plan. If for some reason a parent does not have health insurance for their child, then there are several other organizations that will cover these costs and Bandon Vision is prepared to help with that information, if necessary.

last week.

Free full eye exams will be held from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept.

10, in the Ocean Crest Elementary School gym for all children in any grade at Ocean Crest, with the focus on kindergartners.

While the Bandon Lions do provide free screenings at the beginning of the school year, Rush said a full eye exam is important.

“We are really pushing for the comprehensive eye examination due to the fact that we check for so many more learning related things than just visual acuity, which is all that is done in the screenings,” Rush said.

It is also important to be sure that all parents understand that the full examination and glasses, if necessary, will be at no cost to them.

It is the law with the Affordable Care Act that all children are covered for an eye examination

Eye exam facts Twenty-five percent of children school-aged have vision problems.

Classroom success depends on so many more factors than just visual acuity. It includes the ability to accurately acquire and process the information received by the eyes.

The earlier a vision problem is diagnosed and treated, the better chance that child has of success in school.

If your child is in the Bandon School District, have him or her receive a free eye exam on Sept. 10 or call Bandon Vision Center to schedule an appointment at 541-347-3622.

DEQ cites Langlois company on storage tank LANGLOIS — The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has penalized a Langlois company for underground storage tank violations.

Van Wormer Service LLC was fined $3,053 for underground storage tank violations at the company’s facility, 94244 Kerber Dr. DEQ found three violations during an

inspection: April release detection methods were not followed, spill buckets contained water and possibly petroleum, and the tank system didn’t have an overflow alarm.

Leaking underground storage tanks can contaminate groundwater, in turn putting human health and the environment at risk, according to the

DEQ. DEQ also ordered Van Wormer to correct the violations and bring the tank system into compliance by Sept. 15.

Van Wormer could alternatively choose to apply to decommission the tanks. DEQ also offered to reduce the penalty if Van Wormer completes a project that benefits the environment.

Let the public speak at beginning of meetings I attend a lot of meetings, though I can’t possibly make all of them. I admire the volunteers who sit on all the local boards. It takes time and patience and a lot of reading to keep up with local issues. I appreciate the hard and important work they do.

But it also takes a lot BANDON of guts to be a citizen CURRENTS concerned about an issue who wants to address these boards during the public comment periods each meeting.

Boards and commissions are not required by law to allow public comment AMY MOSS except during certain STRONG hearings and proceedings. Allowing public comment is up to their discretion, and all of them do allow it, with a three-minute limit.

However, I’ve noticed a growing trend that bothers me.

Citizens who want to speak must wait until the end of the meeting to have their

say.

I’ve covered meetings in this town for many years. The public comment period for items not on the agenda used to be at the beginning of the meetings. Now, most local boards and commissions have put them at the end of so anyone who wants to say something must wait — sometimes for a few hours.

Some give up and leave or don’t even bother to come.

I understand that there are a few people who abuse this public comment privilege and grandstand, yell, try to intimidate and regularly go over the allotted three minutes.

Those speakers should be cut off when their three minutes expires, or if they get too carried away.

But the majority of people simply have something they feel is important to say.

Local public bodies should continue to allow citizens to speak within their prescribed time during public comment periods.

But that comment time should happen at the beginning of the meeting.

Locals file for positions Speaking of boards and commissions, the deadline was Tuesday to turn in a packet with signatures and a letter of intent to run for City Council or mayor.

Mayor Mary Schamehorn is running unopposed. If she is re-elected, this will be her sixth two-year term.

For council, incumbents Mike Claassen and Chris Powell are running for re-election. Nancy Drew is not running again.

Peter Braun and Madeline Seymour are running for a council seat. In Bandon, the top three candidates will win seats on the council.

Braun is owner of Cobbler’s Bench and active in the Bandon Chamber, the Greater Bandon Association and other local boards.

Seymour is retired and relatively new to the area, but already involved as a member of the Water Resource Committee and the city Budget Committee.

It’s a difficult job and often councilors and the mayor take a lot of heat from community members. Kudos to those

willing to serve.

A few months ago, Tom Stadelman proposed a change in the city charter that would allow residents of the school district who own property in city limits to serve on the City Council, but I haven’t heard whether he is still pursuing the idea, which would have to be approved by voters.

So for now, all councilors and the mayor must be city residents.

Any angels out there?

We received a fax from Bandon’s new library director Rosalyn McGarva.

Rosalyn thanked us for our “wonderful Coffee Break,” which she said library employees are delighted with.

Then she asked if we could help the library find a Plant Angel and a Fish Angel to help maintain the plants inside the library and the fish in the fish tank.

Any takers? Our wonderful library staff is so busy, I’m sure they could really use the help and it would be a great way to give back to the community.

Oh, and the library will be closed Saturday, reopening Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Have a fun Labor Day weekend!

Letters DeFazio ensuring Social Security I was disheartened to read a letter to the editor in the Aug. 14 issue of Bandon Western World from Georgia attacking Peter DeFazio's work on Social Security.

A quick Internet search reveals that the author, Brenton Smith, regularly writes articles attacking Social Security reforms but never proposes any good ideas of his own.

Unlike Mr. Smith, I am from Oregon, and I’m also on Social Security. Since this issue is so personal to me, I have done a fair bit of research on what my Congressman is proposing.

DeFazio’s Social Security bill would close a tax loophole so that the richest few Americans pay the same Social Security tax rate as the rest of us. His bill would ensure that Social Security can pay full benefits to people like me and future generations. Unfortunately it seems that Mr. Smith misread DeFazio’s bill and assumed that it would allow millionaires to receive huge Social Security checks from the government, leaving the program unstable in the long term.

The fact is that DeFazio’s bill makes sure that the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share and don't get outsized checks. That means the DeFazio bill would shore up Social Security for generations to come.

Surprised by DeFazio quote I was surprised by one of the quotes on The World’s front page story about DeFazio and LNG. He said, “I’m not a big fan of people pre-empting someone’s private property.”

Now, are we talking about the same Peter DeFazio?

Are we talking about Peter “I never saw a spending bill I didn’t just love” DeFazio? Just where does he think that money comes from? Does he not think that the taxes used for those spending bills wasn’t pre-empted?

Every time I put on a pair of pants I can feel his hands in my pockets, and it feels like something of mine is being pre-empted.

Envy of the nation?

“We the People” is the way the preamble to our Constitution starts. I always liked the sound of that, but where have “We the People” gone? Some no longer vote or consider the need to participate in any way.

Only a few will become candidates to serve in political positions.

The design of the founders was for volunteer service. Volunteer service requires that we maintain awareness and have interest in the affairs of government. It is also a way to keep government within reasonable bounds.

The best opportunity to serve in government is local or city and the next best is your county government.

Thanks to two Coos County residents, who want to enhance a “We the People” governing of Coos County, a new charter has been developed. The aim of the charter is to put people in control. Voter approval would be required for capital programs, all bonded indebtedness, the gifting of public funds, the granting of property tax exemptions and more.

Voter approval would be required for urban renewal.

Accountability for use of urban renewal funds will require public presentation on a county website with full disclosure of the disbursement of urban renewal funds.

Budgeting will be zero based, which means that they will be based on the cost of service delivery for the coming period.

Voters in Coos County should get well acquainted with this Home Rule proposal in order to make an informed decision on it. It is much better than I had expected.

If approved by the voters, Coos County could become a destination for new investment. People who want to have more control over their lives will consider establishing themselves in Coos County. Coos County could become the envy of the nation by shining daylight on the operation of government.

Sign me as consumed with envy in Douglas County!

Meet & Greet at Second Street Gallery Second Street Gallery, 210 Second St. SE in Old Town, welcomes local artist jeweler Heather Bouher for the Meet & Greet the Artist from noon to 4 p.m.

Saturday, Aug. 30, and Sunday, Aug. 31.

Inspired by tiny treasured bits of glass found while walking along the beach, Bouher creates her Glass Roots Jewelry with both recycled and genuine beach glass. Tumbled smooth to the touch, each piece has inherent qualities that make it unique. Fortunate enough to have a humble workspace, a few tools and a sweet passion for glass, Bouher has found that the glass speaks to her. To Bouher, the glass itself seems to dictate how it will be molded into a new entity, revealing combinations and formations that cannot be denied, much like a puzzle that has not yet been put together.

Self proclaimed “glass whisperer,” Bouher has been letting the glass speak for itself since 2007.

Cranberry Fest is just around the corner It’s a Cranberry Round Up in 2014: Bandon’s 68th annual Cranberry Festival comes to town Sept. 12-14.

Did you know the festival parade is almost as old as the festival itself? The parade was added to the event list in 1948. The first parade featured many of the traditional elements we enjoy today: color guard, cranberry court, tractors and fire trucks.

In 1948, festival organizers even awarded prizes.

Judy Brown, later Bandon Mayor Judy Densmore, won the best children’s entry with her decorated tricycle.

Today, participants tap their creative cranberry juices to fashion parade entries based on a theme.

Theme ideas are submitted by community members and winners selected by the festival committee. The 2014 theme, Cranberry Round Up, was suggested by Mary and Ron Evans.

Festival prizes aren’t reserved for parade entries.

Join the Queen of the Kitchen cranberry cooking contest, or dive into a dish of berries in the Cranberry Eating Contest.

The Cranberry Festival is organized by the Bandon Chamber of Commerce with support from sponsoring businesses and organizations. The parade is Saturday morning, Sept. 13; entry forms are due by Sept. 10.

To join the tradition, contact Julie Miller at the Chamber of Commerce, 541-347-9616, or visit bandon.com/cranberry-festival for information and registration.

Annual Oregon Shorebird Festival CHARLESTON — Tens of thousands of shorebirds are already making their migration south along Oregon’s beaches and everyone is invited to be a part of this natural phenomenon at the 28th Annual Oregon Shorebird Festival to be held Sept. 5-7 in Charleston.

During expertly guided trips to Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, visitors will have an excellent opportunity to see the most abundant shorebirds .

A paddle trip along the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve will accommodate birders interested in seeing great blue heron, great egret, belted kingfisher and spotted sandpiper. A field trip to the rocky shores of Shore Acres State Park will treat visitors to black turnstone and black oystercatcher.

On Friday evening enjoy a presentation by the authors of “Must-see Birds of the Pacific Northwest.”

Sarah Swanson and Max Smith will ensure readers know the Pacific Northwest is a great place for birding as they share their stories about birds, birding and books.

On Saturday Joseph Buchanan, biologist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will present “Red Knot Migration.” These shorebirds migrate along the Pacific coast and recent research shows they may use as few as four stopover sites between their over-wintering areas in Mexico and breeding areas in Alaska and Russia.

This year the Oregon Shorebird Festival also falls on World Shorebirds Day, a national effort aimed at raising global awareness of the need for the protection of shorebird populations, nearly half of which are in decline.

Everyone is encouraged to pack up their binoculars and join the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Oregon Birding Association, the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and more for a weekend of birding fun and adventure.

Virtual support of an off-site teacher they can call or email with questions. They always enjoy talking to their teachers and form a bond with them through the year.

“Even though we do not agree with all the materials that are taught, because much of the science and social studies comes from a very liberal standpoint, most of the classes offer a balanced education. We also enjoy many electives such as sign language and chess.

“For our family, charter school offers us the freedom to do school and still take care of our farm. The boys feed the animals before they start school and are able to work outside and play after school is done for the day. They can also get up and get school done early if they want to help with cranberry harvest. This would not be possible in a traditional school setting.

“For our family ORCA is a good fit, it may not work for everyone, but I love having my kids home with me and knowing they are getting a great education!”

Tips to consider In addition to information sessions and meetings, ORCA also offers these tips for parents to consider when

exploring online schooling as a possible option for their family: ■ Do your homework.

Read up about the school to see if it offers a highquality learning experience with a rigorous curriculum. Find out if the school meets state education standards and if it has been accredited.

■ Talk directly with a parent or student. Learn what students have to say about virtual school by taking a look at some student profiles online or visit the school’s social media pages.

■ Connect with a teacher. Learn more about the meaningful bonds teachers are able to form with their students in the online environment or ask specific questions about your child’s learning needs.

■ Explore the flexibility of virtual school. Virtual schools allow you to adjust time, place, and pace of learning.

■ Experience the virtual school. View the virtual school’s website for information and check out online demonstrations of how teachers interact with students. Also, explore the education or learning management system used by the school.

ORCA opened in 2005 under a charter with the Scio School District.

There were around 3,700 students in grades K-12 enrolled during the 20132014 school year. The school combines Oregoncertified teachers, a standards-aligned curriculum, unique technology tools and an extensive selection of electives and clubs to create an individualized alternative to the bricksand-mortar classroom.

Tsunami has asked the board to move the school outside the inundation zone to district property on 11th Street.

Sterling has researched modular schools and told the board at its Aug. 11 meeting that the buildings are affordable and easy to put into place. She argues that Ocean Crest is not eligible for a seismic retrofit because it is in the inundation zone.

“I don’t understand how everyone can be so cavalier,” Sterling told the board. “There are a lot of concerns and especially when you can replace a school for less than $1 million and we would never have this conversation again.”

But the extent of possible damage and the probability of such a catastrophic event depends on who you talk to and which maps you use.

In response to concerns, the district hired Sylas Allen from ZCS Engineering Inc. in May to do to a structural analysis/retrofit design for all three schools. The firm has extensive experience with the seismic rehabilitation of structures and has experience with Oregon Seismic Rehabilitation grants.

Allen gave an update at the Aug. 11 meeting, saying his investigation so far has revealed that all three school buildings and the gyms have issues that

Sprucing up Over the summer, the district spent the remaining funds from its $1.5 million facilities grant and also completed repairs and maintenance jobs throughout the district using regular maintenance funds.

Some of the remaining bond projects included a new, stick-built storage building behind the district office and tennis courts, a new Quonset hut consisting of modular units also for storage at the district’s Bandon Heights property, refurbishing of the Castle Crest play structure at Ocean Crest Elementary, a newly refinished gym floor at Ocean Crest, a working new bell system for BHS, new gym

office headquartered in Chesapeake, Va., said Dollar Tree likes to be “where middle American shops because that’s where our core customers are.”

“We have our core customers and also our pockets of customers too, such as those on a limited budget like college students decorating or furnishing their dorms, or retirees who are watching their pennies,” Davis said.

“Teachers love to shop with us, as most teachers use their own money for many of the items needed in their classrooms,” Davis added. “We have an entire section for teachers, not just for decorating, but resource guides and materials too.”

Davis said at Dollar Tree, everybody pays no more than $1 for each item and leaves the store happy. Shopping also is

available online.

“We definitely believe we can be of service to the community by providing a value,” Davis said. “We have a great mix of what you want and what you need, so there’s the discretionary thrill of the hunt along with regular shopping.”

■ from Page A1 need to be fixed regarding seismic stability, but that they are all eligible for a retrofit.

Allen spoke with experts at DOGMI and was told the maps Sterling and Murphy are referring to are the “worst case scenario” and are being circulated to motivate people into action regarding earthquake and tsunami awareness and preparedness.

Allen said the extent of damage will depend on many variables, including the type, where the quake happens and the magnitude.

“The new maps aren’t adopted,” Allen said. “I have 100 percent confidence that water would never exceed the lines on that map.”

Allen encouraged the board to submit applications for retrofit grants as soon as possible.

“When we design buildings, we don’t build them to be 100 percent earthquake-proof,” Allen added. “It’s just not possible. If that was the case, we wouldn’t have skyscrapers. The probability is so remote. Yes, you can plan for it, but it’s a remote possibility.”

Going through all the school buildings thoroughly, Allen concluded that he has a “pretty good feel to determine what we’re up against.”

“The buildings are in great shape, so all we are

doing is seismic updates,” he said.

The worst problem areas include some supporting walls in the gyms and buildings that would need to be replaced, roof fasteners that need to be attached to supporting walls and the replacement of some of the larger windows, among other issues, Allen said.

“We’re still trying to figure out the extent of solutions,” he said.

Allen’s firm had already begun the grant application. The board asked Allen to proceed with completing their portion of the grants and to forward the applications to the district for completion. They are due by the end of September.

The grant requests will be considered this fall and a decision is expected by January. Bonds would be sold in the spring to fund the grant, if awarded, and construction could be completed by the summer of 2016. Allen said he felt the district has a good shot at getting at least one grant to retrofit Ocean Crest, if not one for each school.

A few parents who attended the meeting were still unconvinced that a retrofit is the best solution.

“I don’t understand why so much effort is going into this when we could replace the building for less money,” Sterling said. “It’s a huge liability.”

BUSINESS/ Sports

Success story for Port Orford business PORT ORFORD — The Port Orford Co-op has been named the July 2014 Southwestern Oregon Community College Small Business Development Center success story.

The co-op opened in November with SBDC’s help.

Since then, board members have attended SBDC QuickBooks training and received one-on-one assistance with using QuickBooks software.

According to Kean Fleming, President of Port Orford Co-op, “The SBDC was always available to help when we needed it, something not always available in a small town like Port Orford.

We could not have accomplished this startup without them. When we were unsure of a business decision, Arlene Soto helped us gain the confidence we needed to move forward. This is an awesome service.”

The Port Orford Co-op was just a dream three years ago when a group of dedicat-

ed citizens decided to build a business that would be an asset to the community.

The Port Orford CommUnity Co-op was first envisioned in 2011 by a steering committee of local producers and Port Orford townies. The group wanted to create a friendly, country store that provides nutritious food and serves as a conduit to support the growth of small-scale food production on Oregon’s South Coast.

Between 2011-13, the POCC formed a board of directors and began framing the business. With the help of grants from the USDA and Cycle Oregon, the co-op was able to draft a business plan, conduct market research, develop bylaws and file the paperwork to incorporate as a for-profit cooperative in the state of Oregon.

In 2013, the co-op began focusing on getting their doors open for business. The co-op undertook a membership and fundraising drive, sought business guidance

from the Small Business Development Center that included strategic planning and recordkeeping systems.

Thanks to the generosity of dozens of hard-working volunteers, Port Orford Co-op was able to get their new storefront in ship-shape for business, according to organizers.

In June 2013, the co-op held a soft-opening in conjunction with Port Orford’s farmers market. Over the summer, the co-op was open for business every Saturday to gather advice from customers, build co-op membership and generate community excitement for the new business.

In October 2013, The coop had a party/fundraiser on their property as a final push to build capital for a November grand opening. On Nov. 1, the co-op began having regular business hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m., WednesdaySaturday, operating purely with volunteer power. The co-op continues to hold the

same business hours and is still run on volunteerism, with more than 30 people regularly contributing their time and energy to the store.

Today co-op membership is greater than 180 and more than 25 local and regional producers have their products on its shelves, offering house-labeled bread, granola and deli items.The co-op also partnered with local organizations to promote nutrition and community sustainability.

The co-op already feels like the business as it was first envisioned — a laid back country store that showcases local goods.

About SBDC The Southwestern Oregon Community College Small Business Development Center provides low cost business training and free one-on-one business advising to small business ventures in Coos, Curry and Western Douglas counties. Funding for this vital resource is pro-

With a week of practice under their belts, the Bandon football and volleyball teams are nearing their first competitions.

The football team will compete with Reedsport and Coquille in a jamboree at Coquille on Friday.

The Tigers will go against both teams with a set number of offensive and defensive snaps allowed — Each team can have a total of 36 offensive plays, in this instance, 18 against Coquille and 18 against Reedsport. Punts and extra point attempts count as plays.

The volleyball team, meanwhile, competes in a jamboree next Wednesday (Sept. 3) at Reedsport.

The Tigers will play one set against Reedsport and one set against North Bend.

The regular-season competitions start in the following weeks. The football team plays at Rogue River on Friday, Sept. 5, the team’s only scheduled road game before Oct. 24.

The football home opener is the Cranberry Bowl against Pemberton, British Columbia, on Sept. 13.

Meanwhile, the volleyball team opens the regular season at Coquille on Sept. 9, before starting

Sunset Conference play at Myrtle Point on Sept. 18.

The cross country team will have its first meet Sept. 10, when the Tigers race in the Tugman Invitational, North Bend’s meet at Tugman State Park near Lakeside.

Bandon hosts the Bullards Invitational on Sept. 17, at Bullards State Park.
