Retired Bandon Schools Superintendent Diane Buche has been hired as interim superintendent until a permanent one can be found.

Buche back as interim schools chief By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — The Bandon School Board of Directors voted unanimously at its Monday meeting to rehire retired Superintendent Diane Buche as interim superintendent until a new one can be found. Details of the agreement were not discussed, but board members agreed that since Buche was willing and had knowledge of the district, she would be the best candidate as interim. Board member Wayne Robbins, who was part of an ad hoc superintendent hiring committee, said the board was not satisfied with the people who did apply for the position. “We had a few applicants and we found most not to be suitable,” Robbins told the board.“The two we were going to interview decided they didn’t want to come.” Board member Francis Stadelman said those two applicants found jobs elsewhere. The ad hoc committee recommended that the district hire an interim superintendent, and Buche had indicated in previous meetings that she would be willing to fill that role. The district hopes

BANDON — Bandon’s Coastal Harvest is in need of a home.

other community colleges see this as a precedent – a model,” said Dr. Claire Montgomery, with OSU’s department of forest engineering, resources, and management. SWOCC is enrolling students for the first time in the new program starting fall term, offering classes on the Coos Bay campus. Dr. Ross Tomlin, SWOCC’s vice president of instruction and student services, said there’s been a lot of interest in the forestry program, particularly because of its direct link to OSU’s forestry degree program, which is considered among the best in the nation. “This is a big deal for us to have this quality of a program working with us,” Tomlin said. “The students we will send to OSU will be topnotch.” The college is working in partnership with the

SWOCC Foundation and private donors to raise $160,000 to fund the first two years of the program and additional funds to purchase equipment. The Oregon Department of Forestry has donated a limited amount of surplus equipment for students. “Having this kind of support from the community and industry is instrumental,” Tomlin said. Following the twoyear start-up, SWOCC’s forestry program will be funded sustainably through state reimbursement, tuition and fees. The college and OSU held a joint signing ceremony in Coos Bay on Aug. 21 and met with natural resources industry representatives. Roseburg, the forest products company, contributed $20,000 to the program and issued a challenge to other com-

New app helps monitor mental health It’s National Suicide Prevention Week and according to the World Health Organization, someone dies from suicide in this country every 13 minutes. WHO says suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. BANDON To help prevent the CURRENTS tragic incidence of suicide, top psychiatrists from Columbia University, Maryland School of Medicine and the National Institute for Health have created a new three-minute screening app called “What’s AMY MOSS My M3,” which helps STRONG patients monitor their mental health daily. Think about it, people with health issues such as high blood pressure monitor it daily, as do diabetics with their blood sugar. The screening tool can flag for

depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and PTSD. If patients are at-risk, they are sent to a suicide hotline, or to other resources that can assist them – before it’s too late. I urge people to download the free app or go to http://whatsmym3.com and take the free, confidential test. Of course, an app or website is no substitution for a proper diagnosis from a qualified mental health professional. But with the stigma surrounding mental illness, it’s easier for some people to see if their symptoms point to an undiagnosed condition that could most likely respond to professional treatment and therapy. New studies show that even a minor undiagnosed mental health illness can shave decades off someone’s life and some studies have indicated that mental health has a direct link to other major diseases. If you know someone who you think is having mental health issues, gently guide them toward help. For many, it’s hard to accept. But talking about it

No cell phone day My daughter’s cell phone stopped working yesterday and while I’ve been trying to fix it, like I somehow inadvertently did last time, there’s a part of me that hopes I can’t – at least for a few days. It’s not that she’s talking on it all the time, like I did when I was a teenager (on a wall phone with a long cord so I could stretch it into my bedroom off the kitchen and talk with privacy). It’s that she’s often engaged with the cell phone in some way, looking up videos on YouTube, connecting with friends on Facebook, texting or listening to music. I find myself competing with her phone. Then I realized I do the exact same thing. While my distractions are legitimate, such as checking emails and posting news updates on Facebook or Twitter, they are distractions nonetheless. I find myself saying, “Just a minute, I need to respond to this email,” or, “Wait a sec while I post this crash information

This “Washington Redskins” ruckus is ridiculous, but before I get into it, let me tell you why I am qualified to comment on this matter. I have been a quadriplegic for 33 years, and at times being paralyzed has been hell. “American Indians” have also gone through hell. “Redskins” is just a word, just the same as if I was called a cripple. “Cripple” is just a word. People better start to grow some thick skin (pardon the pun). There is one thing that is more critical that we should be concerned about: What is going on Syria, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria and Ukraine. Do not forget China flexing its muscles. This requires a lot more concern than the name of a football team. Finally, the American people and the media better wake up and demand the president do something about it, now!

Salmon season is once again here. If you are fishing on the Coquille it’s more like combat fishing than ever before. Never before have I seen so many high speed boats flying up and down the river with little or no regard for others. I have often seen other boaters fishing along a bank full of pilings and watched a high speed boat fly inbetween them and the shore and if they had gone on the other side of the boater they would have had the whole river open. I have also had people troll right up and over my gear and gotten so close you could talk to them without raising your voice. There is still a high majority of boaters that are very respectful of others, but the number of others with only themselves in mind has increased. It sure would be nice if some people would slow down when close to others and be more considerate of others on the river. Dave Schradieck Bandon

Buche to start advertising for a superintendent after the first of the year with the goal of getting someone hired by April who can start on July 1, 2015. Buche announced her retirement at the end of May and a superintendent search began shortly after. She has been with the district since 2005, first as the Ocean Crest principal, and then as superintendent for the last eight years. The board heard the monthly reports from principals, including two new faces, MaryRae Anderson at Ocean Crest Elementary and Michelle Inskeep at Harbor Lights Middle School. Open houses are set for Sept. 18 at Ocean Crest and Sept. 25 at HLMS and BHS. Enrollment is at the same number it was when school ended in June — a total of 730 students in the district. However, student populations have shifted, resulting in an unexpected number in the second grade, with 62 students distributed among two teachers. The two second grade teachers — Suzy Bemetz and Carrie Biasca, were at the meeting, along with several parents, asking the district to hire another second grade teacher. Bemetz said the class size is a problem because more than half of the students have behavior issues and more than half are not reading at their grade level. She and others pleaded with the district to do something to alleviate the problem so all the students can thrive. Buche said she would look at where she could shift funds, which

So when an article I read this week suggested a “no cell phone day,” I thought I’d give it a try. Mind you, I haven’t done it yet, but the article suggested that doing so at least once a month would allow full engagement with the people around me. That means no silly dog videos. I’ll let you know how it goes.

the museum’s collection, ranging in years from 1950 through 2005. “We appreciate those who have donated gowns and other Cranberry Festival memorabilia to our collection,” said Judy Knox, museum director. “We are always looking for more and would encourage anyone who has a gown to consider sharing it through the museum.” On display with the gowns is a growing collection of photographs, scrapbooks, buttons, posters, programs and other artifacts related to the festival. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through the Cranberry Festival. After the Cranberry Festival, the museum will go back to its Monday through Saturday schedule.

could result in shortages elsewhere, to help the situation, and possibly hire an aide or another teacher. Buche said she couldn’t promise anything until she looked at schedules and how extra personnel at Ocean Crest could be funded, since the district doesn’t have class-size reduction dollars. “We need a solution and don’t have it yet, so give us a few days,” Buche told the parents and teachers. The largest class in the district is the junior class, at 67 students. The smallest class is the incoming kindergarten, at 44 students. “A couple of those classes are telling of the trend, which is going down to an average of 50 students per class,” Buche said. Buche said the staff was pleased to come back to start the school year with a “clean, shiny campus,” which was the result of hard work by the maintenance staff over the summer. She’s also pleased with the newly hired staff. “We have some great new hires along with veteran staff,” Buche said. She also announced that the district’s projects using the $1.5 million facilities bond are completed and signs are on the way to be put up indicating all the bond projects. Buche said the engineer’s seismic retrofit report is nearing completion and that Sy Allen of ZCS Engineering is applying for retrofitting grants from the state for all three schools. The district safety committee continues to meet. “We will continue to work togeth-

In other business, the board: ■ Accepted the resignation of Carolann Horath, OC Title 1 assistant, Christina Day, special education assistant and Rick Hinojosa, varsity softball coach; approved hiring of Craig Schofield, BHS social studies teacher, Kelly Newcomer, HLMS sixth grade teacher, Jeremy Bemetz, full time custodian, Ben Fiscus, full time custodian, Sean Haga, special education/computer lab assistant, Christina Day, OC Title 1 assistant, Kassandra Shepherd, OC and HLMS special education assistant and Janice Swader, bus driver. ■ Unanimously approved a motion that the board is “disappointed with lack of detail in reporting to the community at large and that the board would like to request more accuracy and detail in reporting” referring to a Bandon Western World story based on the Aug. 11 meeting about the engineer’s verbal report regarding the seismic safety of the district’s buildings. Board member Francis Stadelman was upset, in part, that the press did not report the answer to a question he posed to the engineer at the Aug. 11 meeting about whether he thought the Bandon School District was putting the students in harm’s way by allowing them to stay in the buildings. The engineer replied that the students are not in danger and he reiterated that the buildings are sound and up to code.

Labyrinths

■ from Page A1

By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World

BANDON — They are not mazes, nor are they crop circles. But there’s something mystical about labyrinths that draw people of all ages and walks of life. Labyrinths are geometric figures with a single path that can be walked or traced. Coquille resident Denny Dyke has been drawing them on Bandon beaches since 2010 when he created a 50-foot design in the sand near Bandon’s Coquille Point. Dyke discovered labyrinths in 2002, after ending a career manufacturing plastic bottles, and starting a new one as a United Centers for Spiritual Living (formerly called Religious Science) practitioner. In 2002, he walked his first labyrinth at a workshop and was sold. Dyke soon started Sacred Journeys, a business that provides labyrinth experiences. In 2007, he and his wife Lita moved to Coquille and Dyke discovered a huge sand canvas. He’s been drawing labyrinths on Bandon’s beaches since 2010 during low tides. This week’s tides are optimal. Dyke and Lita,

The meditative path “Walking the labyrinth is a type of meditation. In the quiet of ‘just’ walking we often find the answers we are seeking. Walking a labyrinth is a way to get in touch with the inner self. All of us need a time to be able to forget the daily stuff that seems to consume our lives. The path in the labyrinth allows us to just take a deep breath and follow it with no concern about getting lost. In the center is a spot where we can reflect gently on who and what we truly are. As we walk the path back out of the labyrinth, we take with us a new sense of ourselves.”

Contributed photos

Denny Dyke, left poses with one of his recently created designs. Above, a design can be easily seen from viewpoints above the beach near Face Rock. along with anyone who wants to help, will draw designs Thursday morning as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings, during this month’s low tides. The tools of the trade are chains, tape measures, rakes and golf tees. “The metaphysical labyrinth is not to be confused with a maze,” Dyke writes on his website. “A maze has multiple paths and the walker has many choices to make while trying to reach the goal by finding the way out. And it

is not a crop circle. “The metaphysical labyrinth has only one path and the walker is not challengedtofindtherightway. The path gently takes them to center, which is the goal. It has been expressed as a metaphor for life — sometimes we seem to be off-center and going in circles, but if we continue on we will reach our goal.” Dyke has created hundreds of labyrinths, with 2011 being a particularly busy year, not only in Bandon, but up and down

the coast. In 2012, Dyke took a job at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and has been busy working the past two years, sohiscreationoflabyrinths slowed considerably. But Dyke recently quit his job to focus full-time once again on creating the circles in the sand. “Thisismoreofacalling than a money maker,” Dyke said. “I’m actually working harder than when I was working. It would sure be nice if it could pay my way, though,” he joked.

“I want to offer the circles in the sand to everyone to walk and experience,” he added.“I am always willing to talkaboutlabyrinths and show how they are created. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people.” The circles are not a one-man show. Dyke is invested in teaching others how to create them or how to help as sand “groomers.” The larger circles — Dyke creates one that is 75 feet across and modeled after the 13th-century labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in

Home

France — take about 1 to 11⁄2 hours to complete. “I’ve taught a lot of people how to draw them,” he said. But when the tide comes in, the lines in the sand are washed away. Labyrinths have been around since 2,500 BC, are found on all seven continents, and have been significant in many cultures, Dyke said. They sometimes figure as traps for evil spirits, as models of magical fortifications or as objects of contemplation.

— Bandon’s BANDON Coastal Harvest is in need of a home. The food assistance organization has been housed for the past several years at the gym of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on Elmira Avenue, but the church gave notice last spring that they wanted use of the gym again

starting Sept. 25. AnnaMarie Chatman, chairwoman of Coastal Harvest, has been looking for a suitable location ever since, but now it’s down to the wire. The organization is a food gleaning group that feeds 120 people in Bandon each week, which includes families and individuals. In exchange, those in the program must help in some way for a set number of hours each

week. Almost half of those in the program are unable to help, however, because they are too elderly or disabled. Boxes are delivered to the disabled or elderly participants on a weekly basis, Chatman said. The food is gleaned from local sources. “For example, if local farmers have leftovers from the market, we get them after the market is over,” Chatman said. “We also

receive things such as leftover soups from the Bandon Fish Market and Rich at Lord Bennett’s just gave us 100 pounds of frozen meat that he had ordered too much of. We also get leftover food from other restaurants. Local farmers and others plant extra crops to give away and places like Valley Flora lets us come pick. People call us when they have apple trees full of apples and that kind of thing.”

When Coastal Harvest has cash, it is used to purchase food in bulk or on sale. The organization is not government funded and is no longer a part of South Coast Food Share, but it is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Next week, Coastal Harvest will hold its final weekly Wednesday distribution, then will close its doors — until it can find a home. The organization doesn’t

Tigers get win before the Cranberry Bowl Bandon Western World

Contributed Photo by Tom Hutton

Spike time Bandon junior Raelyn Freitag pounds the ball at North Bend’s defense during the Reedsport jamboree last week. Freitag is one of two captains for the team, along with senior libero Annmarie Pickett.

Tigers work on improvement By John Gunther Bandon Western World

coach Bandon volleyball Courtney Freitag knows her team is young and has much work to do in developing as a unit this fall. The Tigers showed both their inexperience and some potential in a three-set loss at Coquille on Tuesday. “This is our first match of the season,” Freitag said. “We have nowhere to go but up.” The Red Devils beat the Tigers 25-14, 25-14, 25-19. Coquille already had several matches under its belt, and that showed. Freitag, meanwhile, is breaking in several new players, and could expect some mistakes. But she was understandably unhappy with Bandon’s 18 service errors, especially, she said, since several of the players are normally strong servers. Bandon has a couple of veterans, senior libero Annmarie Pickett and

junior outside hitter Raelyn Freitag, the coach’s daughter. They both had solid matches against Coquille, with Pickett recording five digs and two kills and Freitag contributing four kills and a stuff block. Meanwhile, junior Ton Hall is becoming a solid middle blocker. She had two stuff blocks and two kills against the Red Devils. “She’s only played one year, and that was as an eighth grader,” Courtney Freitag said. Freitag went primarily with freshman Kaylynn Pickett as her setter Tuesday, and she had a solid match with 10 assists. Freitag said Pickett did fine, for a freshman. Among the other newcomers to the varsity squad, Rowan Reimer and Cheyenne Ornelas each had an ace in the match. Katlynn Ferreri had two kills and two digs and Lakota Tamblyn had a kill. While mental errors might be understandable in a first match, the one thing Freitag didn’t like was the

team’s lack of intensity, especially with how strong the team was at the Grants Pass team camp and during a jamboree last week in Reedsport. “I told them I just wanted the intensity from the team camp,” she said. The Tigers have a week to prepare for their first league match, next Friday at Myrtle Point, and then host their home tournament on Sept. 20. “The season is young,” Freitag said. “We are only going to get better.” Upcoming Schedule: Sept. 18 @ Myrtle Point Sept. 20 Bandon Invitational Sept. 23 Gold Beach Sept. 25 @ Toledo Sept. 27 Taft Tournament Sept. 30 Waldport Oct. 2 Reedsport Oct. 7 Myrtle Point Oct. 9 @ Gold Beach Oct. 14 Toledo Oct. 16 @ Waldport Oct. 21 @ Reedsport

Bandon enters the Cranberry Bowl with momentum. The Tigers unveiled their new spread offense with great results last Friday at Rogue River, beating the Chieftains 5220. Quarterback Quentin Coomer threw seven touchdown passes in the victory. Bandon puts the new offense on display at home in the Cranberry Bowl on Saturday against Pemberton, a team from British Columbia. The game starts at 4 p.m. The Tigers switched from their option attack of the past two seasons to the spread, and Coomer and his receivers had a great night against the Chieftains. Coomer connected with five different teammates on touchdown passes while completing 22 of 35 attempts on the night for 332 yards. It was a big turnaround from the jamboree in Coquille a when earlier, week Coomer’s timing was slightly off and the receivers dropped a couple of other passes. “The receivers actually came down with the catches we weren’t catching last week,” coach Silia Polamalu said. “Quentin was making much better throws.” Coomer connected with Trae Dyer on touchdowns of 32 yards and 36 yards to help Bandon to a 26-14 halftime lead. Coomer also teamed

with Shannon Forty on touchdown passes of 18 and 50 yards. He connected on TD passes with Kohl Watson for 20 yards, Trenten Gagnon for 25 and Ben Strain for 20. Dyer was his favorite target on the night, with six catches for 175 yards. Watson and Jacob Taylor both had three catches. Bandon also ran the ball effectively, with Watson rushing for 98 yards on 12 carries, Coomer scrambling for 33 yards and Sam Cutler rushing for 24 on three attempts. “It’s neat to see us have that big a turnaround on offense,” Polamalu said. “That young line of ours really did a good job protecting Quentin tonight. He had lots of time.” Bandon also was better on defense. The biggest key to the turnaround had little to do with Friday night, though. It started during the week and was the result of Bandon’s eyeopening struggles against Reedsport and Coquille in the jamboree. Polamalu challenged his kids to realize they had to practice harder and with more intensity. “We had way more effort than last week,” he said. “That’s what we talked about during the week.” Upcoming games: Sept. 13 Pemberton Sept. 19 Coquille Oct. 3 Myrtle Point Oct. 10 @ Waldport Oct. 17 Toledo Oct. 24 @ Reedsport Oct. 31 Gold Beach

Chinook fishing has been good in Bandon and Coos Bay Local lakes: With cooler nights on their way and late summer insect hatches starting, look for rainbow trout to start surface feeding again soon. The trout will start coming out of the deeper portions of local lakes once lake temperatures start to cool down. Largemouth bass anglers are also looking for lake temps to cool off up in Tenmile Lakes where the bass have gone off the bite. Yellow perch fishing has been decent in North Tenmile Lake. The better fishing has been in the deeper portions of the lake. Local rivers: Fall Chinook fishing on the lower Rogue River has been hit or miss. Anglers are reporting record days followed by spotty fishing. There’s been a lot of fishing pressure in the bay at Gold Beach which is typical for this time of year. A few coho are starting to show up along with some early Indian Creek Chinook. Fishing for fall Chinook was good in the lower bay near Bandon last weekend. Anglers trolling plug cut herring caught
