Langlois moving forward with sign
Bandon Western World
By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World
LANGLOIS — A tentative design and location for a community welcome sign has been chosen by the Langlois Welcome Sign ad hoc committee. The committee met Aug. 27 and decided they wanted a sign with a “traditional historical” feel, 6-feet wide by 5-feet tall, made out of aluminum and framed in wood. Proposed colors will be white or cream with simple, dark green lettering. The “L” in the sign will be in the same script that was used for the former Langlois Cheese Factory, which is now owned by Dennis Bowman and used as an event venue. Bowman also is a member of the sign committee. Resident Janet Hubel drew the sign rendition, using the “L” which was designed by local artist Jim Shite. “We are excited about the location,” said Anne Redding, who acts as the committee’s liaison with the Oregon Department of Transportation, the agency that has final approval of both the sign’s design and location. Curry County must apply for the permit on behalf of the committee. “We’re getting lots of support from the community, including offers of lumber donations by Dennis Bowman and George Fleming and more,” Redding said. “We hope to locate it at the south end of town because that’s where the kerskuffle started.” The “kerskuffle” Redding refers to is the protest residents had when ODOT decided, after a highway speed study, to move the 40 mph sign closer in to town, thus shortening the safety corridor. ODOT cited a “lack of roadside culture” in the town, among other reasons for the change. After loud objections by residents, ODOT decided to move the signs back to their original location and study the issue further. Redding said ODOT has been back in the community this summer doing more studies, as promised. Meanwhile, ODOT also suggested the community come up with ways to slow traffic and encourage drivers to stop.

Getting settled First grade teacher Anna Polamalu helps new student Bridger Schwenninger get settled at his desk next to classmates Alessandria Lalicata, left, Alivia Housego (next to Polamalu) and Matthew Whitney. Polamalu, who taught kindergarten last year, was hired to replace retired longtime teacher Adrienne Smith at Ocean Crest Elementary.
SOUTH COAST — The state’s wildlife chief says fisheries are one of the top economic drivers on the Oregon Coast. “One of the most key things that make the Oregon Coast the Oregon Coast are fisheries,” Roy Elicker, director of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife told a group gathered for an economic conference in Florence last week. “The ocean fishery and recreational fishery both ... you can look at them individually and together. In the coastal counties up to 20 percent of the total net earnings in those counties come from fisheries ... commercial fisheries, in particular.” Elicker made his remarks during the Oregon Coast Economic Summit Aug. 20 and Aug. 21 at the Three Rivers Casino Event Center in Florence. U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden participated in panel discussions, and Reps. Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader and Suzanne Bonamici spoke both days. During a panel discussion called “Ocean and Natural Resource Policy Implementation: Challenges and Opportunities,” Elicker said fisheries and tourism rule on the coast, among the top economic industries. “That’s how big (fisheries) are,” he continued. “It’s one of the top two economic drivers of this area we refer to as the Oregon coast. It provides, perhaps, 15,000 to 20,000 jobs. Now, that’s a total statewide.” He said, as expected, most of those fishing jobs are on the Oregon coast, and there are also related industries. “We have seafood processors in Brookings, Coos Bay, Newport, Port Orford and Astoria,” Elicker ticked off. “When you get right down to it, the

Port receives Clean Marina designation BANDON — The Oregon State Marine Board has announced that the Port of Bandon is its 62nd officiallydesignated statewide Clean Marina. “The Port of Bandon’s general manager Gina Dearth and her staff have been hard at work maintaining the port facility in an environmentally-responsible manner,” said Now they get the official recognition that goes along with it,” said Italo Lenta of the OSMB. Clean Marina is a voluntary program

administered by the Marine Board. Any marina, boatyard or floating home moorage in Oregon can choose to participate in this program. Membership is restricted to those who have chosen to join and who have also demonstrated their commitment to clean water by meeting at least 85 percent of the applicable Clean Marina Program’s requirements. These may include such

Dredging promotes growth BANDON — An economic summit held in Florence last month emphasized the importance of the fishing industry to local economies. That’s nothing new to Port of Bandon General Manager Gina Dearth, who, along with port commissioners and employees, have worked at local, state and national levels to maintain the marine-related activities here. Dearth also was a key organizer of the South Coast Small Ports Coalition that comprises ports from Reedsport to Brookings who joined to provide a united front to legislators on the importance of the fishing industry to small coastal communities and the need for continued dredging dollars. Key findings in a 2013 study the port had commissioned to list the economic benefits of dredging indicates that tourism is estimated to be 80 percent of the regional gross domestic product, measured by the value of the private sector produced goods and labor within Coos and Curry counties. Visitors to the area come for the beaches, shops, restaurants, cleanliness and general charm of the area, but also are attracted by the many marine recreational activities provided at the Bandon marina, including boating, fishing, crabbing and cruising. According to a business survey conducted by the port in 2011, maintaining proper dredging depths of the Coquille bay channel is vital to the retention and growth of approximately 54 existing business establishments in the Bandon area that depend upon tourism and

Black oystercatchers are among the South Coast’s abundant shorebirds.
Oregon Shorebird Festival Sept. 5-7 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, New River and the Coos Bay area, visitors will have an opportunity to see the most abundant shorebirds including western and least sandpiper, dunlin, long-billed dowitcher, semipalmated plover and black-bellied plover. Cost to participate is $30 per person or $55 for a family. 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, wandering tattler, surfbird, and black oystercatcher. On Friday evening enjoy a presentation by the authors of “Must-see Birds of the Pacific Northwest.” Whether it’s watching western grebes dancing on water or listening to the cascading song of a Pacific
wren through a mossy forest, 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 overwintering areas in Mexico and breeding areas in Alaska and Russia. Learn what research is unveiling about their abundance, distribution, ecology and behavior. 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.

LANGLOIS — Lions Club International Multiple District 36-E District Governor Gail Black will make her official visit to the Langlois Lions Club at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, at the Langlois Lions Clubhouse. Black will speak to local Lions Club members about her mission and vision for the local club and District 36-E during the 2014-15 fiscal year. The district governor is the chief executive officer for the local district of which the Langlois Lions Club is a member. The governor and her cabinet are the ones who set policy and procedure for the Lions Clubs at a district level, which is then carried out by the officers of each local club. Lions Club International is the largest
service organization in the world with 46,000 clubs and 1.35 million members. “Everywhere they work they make friends — with children who need eyeglasses, with seniors who don’t have enough to eat and with people they may never meet,” said Bob Chaney, Sr., of the Oregon Lions District 36-E. “Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller And communities get better. That’s because they help where help is needed — in their own communities and around the world, with unmatched integrity and energy.” Governor Black’s visitation to the Langlois Lions Club is open to the public and non-members are encouraged to come listen to her message. For more information, contact a local Lions Club.
UWB seeking scholarship applicants BANDON — The University Women of Bandon is accepting applications for its second 2014 scholarship award of $600. “Earlier this year UWB awarded $600 to graduating senior Elle Iverson. This additional scholarship is for a woman already enrolled in college, in her junior year or beyond, because we know that it can be difficult to keep pushing on when you've been in school since
kindergarten,” said a UWB spokeswoman. “We know how much a young woman needs extra encouragement as she works to make the finish line and that even a modest sum toward books and supplies is welcome,” the spokeswoman added. Applications will be forwarded via email to those who request them. Those interested can email T. Hodson at universitywomenbandon@yahoo.com.

Did you know? Did you know that dental bridges were in use by the Romans in 100 AD? It’s true! The Roman Poet Marcus Valerius Martialis wrote about dental bridges as early as 100 AD! He thought they were only for aesthetics, and didn’t understand how helpful these items would become in our day. Bridges can also aid in chewing food properly, and add to the health of a good diet. 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!

Dorabeth and Cliff Sutterfield.
Sutterfields celebrate 50 years By Mary Akey Contributing writer
BANDON —As the golden rays of the sun played over the recreation hall of the First Baptist Church of Bandon on Aug. 16, Cliff and Dorabeth Sutterfield were celebrating the golden anniversary of their marriage. Family and friends of all ages filled the hall to celebrate and toast years of that had passed in such style. They reminisced of first meetings, special events, children, faith and love that had been shared over the many years. Their first 50 years have been years full of love, laughter, tears, heartbreak, children, grandchildren, friends and memories, according to the couple. Many of those memories were shared in photos and newspaper clippings of their lives, from first big date to their wedding and Cliff Sutterfield’s military life. From their first meeting as ninth graders in high school at Shore Acres, Calif., the bond of love has been between them. They were a steady couple and married in a simple garden ceremony in 1964 in Shore Acres. From that event has come three children, Edward Sutterfield, of Vancouver, Wash., Debbie Sutterfield of Bandon and Rebecca Rice of Camas, Wash. In addition, the couple has six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Edward, Debbie and Rebecca planned and orchestrated the grand event with golden decorations, golden cake and a potluck dinner. Aiding them in the effort was Aunt Yvonne Younce, Marilyn Scott, Melva Woodward and Linda Benjamin. Cliff and Dorabeth wish to thank all those who took part in the celebration. “The fellowship of friends and family (along with the wonderful food) will be a memory cherished for many, many years. Many thanks to those who helped us celebrate,” the Sutterfields said.

Lyn Silverman created the fundraiser six years ago but had to retire this year, though she still helps behind the scenes. “Sixty-five percent of Bandon schoolchildren are eligible for free and reduced meals and the five food assistance programs in Bandon distribute or feed hundreds of people each month, so the need locally among all age groups is great,” Moss Strong said.

Letters Business first, then comments The port commissioners and staff attend training sessions provided by the Special Districts Association on a yearly basis. These trainings are held for elected officials and appointed managers of boards, commissions and councils around the state. All topics are covered and particularly public meeting laws and rules. We are trained to take care of the business of the district first. As far as public comment being held at the end of meeting, training encourages this practice for several reasons. Agenda topics are set to take care of the business of the port first. Approve minutes, financials, etc. If there is an item on the agenda that has drawn a larger than normal participatory crowd the chairman recognizes this by asking a show of hands on a topic we are about to cover. More times than not as the commission is discussing the topic among themselves and staff, the chairman will ask if anyone in the audience would like time — usually three minutes to comment — on the agenda item being discussed. If the public is there to comment on something that is not on the agenda, they are given that opportunity at the end of the meeting when the business of the district has first been taken care of. I have attended other meetings as an agenda item participant and waited on several occasions for an hour or more before even getting to the agenda, following the public comment period. I do not at all think it is unreasonable to take care of the business on the agenda first before fielding random public comment unrelated to the agenda items. Instead of moving public comment to the top of the meeting I encourage the public to contact the managing staff of boards, commissions and councils, with their concerns, ideas, suggestions, etc., and ask to be put on the agenda. That way a thorough discussion can be held unlike a random public comment/concern that can only be heard and not dealt with because no prior preparation has taken place and it is not an agenda item. More times than not, the person that comments leaves frustrated or, worse yet, angry because no action was taken and in many cases it sets a negative tone. While I appreciate editor Amy Moss Strong’s editorial, I don’t agree. Moving public comment to the end of the meeting is the most productive business practice for all involved. Gina Dearth General Manager Port of Bandon
Get on the agenda I would like to weigh in on your editorial in last week’s paper about local governments putting the time for citizen comment at the end of their meetings. What you forgot to mention is that most people request time on the agenda if they wish to address the council with a specific request, or they comment during the discussion of an agenda item. But it is not fair to make people who have asked to be on the agenda, or those involved in a scheduled public hearing, to wait while people talk to the council about things that are not on the agenda. We also have a policy that we generally do not take action on something that is not on the agenda. We give everyone a chance to speak and since our meetings generally do not last much more than an hour, being at the “end of the meeting” just means that they might have to sit through a short meeting before they get the opportunity to address the council. In the past, we have had instances where the actual agenda items did not get underway until 45 minutes after the meeting started because so many people wanted to address the council with items that weren’t on the agenda. And like most other local bodies, we have decided that those who aren’t on the agenda can have their say at the end of the meeting rather than at the beginning, which seems to make more sense. As people know who have watched our meetings on TV, they can be entertaining, informative, controversial and sometimes even humorous ... really not a bad way to spend a Monday evening once a month. I have a plaque on my desk which says: “Please pose all questions in the form of a compliment” But that, of course, is not always the case. Mayor Mary Schamehorn Bandon
City manager wish list There are several things we should consider when detailing qualifications for our new city manager: — More openness than is currently practiced by the city manager. Expanding an attitude of openness, not just following the narrow letter of the law will encourage communication between the city and its citizens.

— More control into the hands of the mayor and City Council instead of the city manager. While this is a “city manager” form of government, it doesn’t mean our elected officials should be rubber stamps. — Ability to adopt a solid, workable, productive plan for Old Town. Such a plan was developed 32 years ago but the current city manager shelved it for reasons only he knows. It was a very good plan, we see the result and requires a definite fresh look. — More cooperation with Bandon Dunes and the county in supporting this worldwide attraction which can contribute so much more to our local economy if given the chance. That the city has all but turned its back on this high quality facility is a mistake which must be corrected promptly. — No more shoving the city’s financial problems under the rug. Giving the council the opportunity to raise rates because of water problems, which continue to worsen, cannot make up for long overdue maintenance resulting in a $3 million bill to city taxpayers. There are other examples, of course, but I am merely trying to get the conversation going before the official city meetings that will ask what Bandon wants in a new city manager. Nancy Evans Bandon
Not happy with move The Coos County Veterans Service Officer is moving into the Oregon Coast Community Action building in Coos Bay four days a week and will remain in the Veterans Service Office in Coquille one day a week. The move, recommended by Eric Gleason, the county’s veterans representative and supported by Coos County Commissioner John Sweet, includes a $90-a- month office with a large community reception area and check-in desk, where our veterans will have to wait for appointments and assistance due them for service to our country, along with families waiting for free government services that ORCCA administers. At the time of hiring this new CCVSO, John Sweet was new as a commissioner and decided to move the CCVSO to North Bend county health, under the mental health department. Word got out, he was advised that veterans seeking services from the Veteran Administration were not mental and did not like the broad-brush of veterans having mental issues. Veterans seeking services from the VA do not seek
handouts, nor ask for more than they were promised for their duty and service to their country. Again, the broad-brush, veterans, seeking services will have to go to the community hand-out center, in a waiting room with nonveterans to seek VA services. The Coos County Commissioners need to man/woman-up. The county Veterans Service Officer was hired to work out of the county veterans office in Coquille. Veterans now will be forced to go to ORCCA in Coos Bay for veteran services. Denny Powell, veteran Coos Bay
Thoughts about marijuana These are some thoughts on the legalization of marijuana. With only the authority of my life experiences, I believe if more people used marijuana and less people used alcohol, our society would benefit a great deal. This is because so many people are violent when they consume alcohol. How many families have endured alcohol fueled violence? Marijuana is known for making people mellow. Alcohol is toxic. A healthy adult can literally poison themselves in one session. I don’t think it is possible to consume enough marijuana to kill yourself. It is interesting that people talk about brain changes with marijuana when alcohol is known for visible brain damage in an autopsy. Alcohol is addictive, marijuana is not, so much. Tobacco is by far the most addictive substance I have used. There has always been a lot of bigotry against marijuana. Millions of people have been denied work and normal services, even prison, for using a substance that by any measurable standards is kinder to your body, intellect and relationships than alcohol. The federal government classes marijuana in the same class as heroin. This has everything to do with culture war. Those darn hippies dared demonstrate against the Vietnam War, and tricky Nixon got even. Nixon’s own drug tzar went on record that marijuana was more benign than alcohol or tobacco and recommended that marijuana be legal. I am pretty sure that by putting my name on this I will lose long-term friends and be ostracized in my church. I am compelled to speak the truth as I see it. John Fields Coquille

Bike Classic pedaling through Bandon, PO The Arthritis Foundation’s annual People’s Oregon Coast Bike Classic will be pedaling through Bandon and Port Orford next week. The 100-person strong contingent of bicyclists and support staff will arrive Thursday, Sept. 11, in Bandon, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., stage at the Port of Bandon’s covered picnic shelter on the boardwalk, and visit and eat in town. The Bandon Chamber of Commerce will welcome the bikers with motivating kick signs as they enter Bandon and ambassadors on the boardwalk will pass out dried cranberries donated by Cranberry Sweets and give general directions. The group will then head south to Port Orford that afternoon, completing the second-to-last leg of their grueling border to border ride down Oregon’s coast. They’ll camp for the night at Buffington Park, then depart early the next morning for Brookings, the end of the 363-mile route. Port Orford residents are invited to drop by Buffington Park and visit with the participants. Discover their motivations for joining this six-day challenging course that winds its way along the rugged Oregon coastline. Ask the riders how they’re personally contributing to the ride’s goal of raising $300,000 to support the foundation’s mission of improving lives through prevention, control and cure of arthritis. And, be sure to stay for a showing of the “Goonies” which starts about 7 p.m. Filmed in Astoria (where the Bike Classic begins on Sept. 7). The Center for Disease Control estimates that there are currently more than 50 million people in the United States diagnosed with arthritis — more than one-fifth of the population. That estimate grows to 67 million, or one-quarter of the general population, by the year 2030. Those interested in learning more about the People’s Coast Bike Classic or how they can volunteer to help with next year’s ride, can call Allison at 503-245-5695, or visit www.PeoplesCoastArthritisBikeClassic.org.

Economy Oregon coast has been successful — more so than our neighbors to the north and to the south, Washington and California — in helping to grow this commercial fishery industry.” There are several reasons for that. “First of all, we don’t have the population pressures on our coast that Washington and California do,” he said. “So, we have room for commercial fisheries — fleets, processing centers — those are the kind of things that have been the backbone of the Oregon coast for many decades. But, that’s really true now, thanks to the increased demand for the quality seafood that we
■ from Page A1
produce off our coast.” He credited processing facilities as the anchors of the fishing industry. “The collaborative relationship that ODF&W, and it’s marine program have built with, particularly, with the commercial fishing industry, but also with the recreational and sport fishing industry, has been huge,” Elicker said. “I’m very proud of that relationship.” Elicker said Oregon’s strong fisheries are pink shrimp, crab, tuna, groundfish trawling and whiting. He said the top two, pink shrimp and crab, are not regulated by the federal government. “They’re regulated by
the state of Oregon,” he said. Because ports play a critical role in supporting job creation and economic diversification, this year’s Oregon Coast Economic Summit provided special attention to the development of Oregon’s ports as important economic growth engines, said Alexandra Smith, chief of staff for Sen. Jeff Kruse, RRoseburg. The summit also considered related issues, such as the expansion and development of marine research and education on the coast, both of which offer new opportunities in marine studies, ocean habitat management and marine resource
cultivation. The summit was sponsored by members of the Oregon Legislature's Coastal Caucus in cooperation with several primary partners, including the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, the Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and Oregon State University. The summit was launched three years ago as a one-time conference to explore coastal and rural economic problems and develop networks and coalitions to address those problems, but has evolved into one of Oregon’s most effective gatherings of regional economic, political and social leaders.
Dredging access to the Coquille River bay. These businesses include many of the area’s largest private employers, according to the survey. They directly employ an estimated 441 local workers and provide a variety of good paying jobs for local residents. Those businesses include timber and marine industrial, bakeries and restaurants, marine fuel at the dock, fish markets, food stores, fuel sales and convenience goods, fishing supplies, marine insurance, museum, Port of Bandon, hotels/motels, eating establishments, and the chamber of commerce. “It’s not only recreational fishing, although sport fishing and crabbing contributes hundreds of
■ from Page A1 thousands of dollars to our local economy and we do everything possible to make their experience here an unforgettable one,” Dearth said last week. According to the 2013 analysis, the direct economic impact from businesses dependent on dredging for their survival includes 619 jobs with $27.4 million in annual value added and nearly $50 million in annual economic output. Additional benefits of retaining the businesses that are directly or indirectly benefited by the Coquille River include annual state and local tax payments of $4.1 million and annual federal tax payments of $3.7 million. “When I started here this was strictly a com-
mercial salmon fishing port,” Dearth added. “We all know what happened there and this port had the foresight to switch gears and become a recreation destination. With that said, we recently had six transient commercial salmon boats moor here for a couple of nights this month while the salmon fishing was hot out front and have had, for the last couple of years, quite a few of the Port Orford commercial fleet day fishing out of here.” Dearth said commercial landings in Bandon since April came in at 35,798 pounds. While that number is low compared to Brookings, Port Orford and other busier South Coast ports, Dearth said it’s exciting because for many years the port
saw no commercial activity at all. “It’s important to remember that not only do sport and recreational users contribute hugely to our economy, these commercial dollars are supporting local families and the product landed here, particularly salmon but rockfish as well, are being purchased by licensed fish buyers, including Olde Towne Seafood,” Dearth said. “These local ocean caught fish are being purchased and served in many of our local restaurants, with the owners and many customers knowing which commercial boat and captain provided their ocean caught salmon and rockfish. It doesn't get any fresher than that.”
Sign One of the suggestions was a “Welcome to Langlois” sign. Redding said two signs, one for each end of town, with the current proposed design will cost about $1,500, with an expected 20-year lifespan. Other ideas the committee has for creating a destination location are a walking tour brochure and a website, which is already up and running at www.worldfamouslanglois.com. The group is exploring community local improvement grants to help fund the sign, but hopes to be able to pay for it with local donations through collection cans and a fundraiser at the former Langlois Cheese Factory, date to be determined. Sign committee members include Chairwoman Deanna McDermott, act-
Clean things as offering a marine sanitary pumpout station, posting signs directing people to keep oils and invasive aquatic species out of the water, and providing recycling containers. “By doing so, Dearth and the Port of Bandon have demonstrated their commitment to keeping Oregon’s waters clean and free of trash, debris, products, petroleum storm water runoff and other pollutants,” Lenta said. On any given day, Dearth and new Harbormaster Bob Shammot are constantly on the lookout for any signs of environmental trouble at the port, Lenta added, especially during busy summer months, when they have their hands full as the port operates at peak capacity. Dearth’s goal is to pro-

South, central coast closed to clamming BANDON — The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have closed recreational razor clam harvesting from the California border to Heceta Head, north of Florence on the central Oregon Coast. The closure is due to elevated levels of amnesic shellfish toxin or domoic acid toxins and includes razor clams on all beaches, rocks, jetties and at the entrance to bays in this section of the Oregon Coast. Coastal scallops are not affected by this closure when only the adductor muscle is eaten. The consumption of whole recreationally harvested scallops is not recommended. Crab are not affected by this level of toxin and are safe to eat. Shellfish contaminated
with ASP toxins can cause minor to severe illness and even death. Severe poisoning can result in dizziness, headaches, vomiting and diarrhea. More severe cases can result in memory loss and death. Shellfish toxins are produced by algae and usually originate in the ocean. Toxins cannot be removed by cooking. ODA will continue to test for shellfish toxins weekly, as tides permit. Reopening of an area requires two consecutive tests in the safe range. For more information, call ODA’s shellfish safety information hotline at 800-448-2474, the Food Safety Program at 503986-4720 or visit the ODA shellfish closures web page at http://www.oregon.gov/ ODA/programs/FoodSafe ty/Shellfish/Pages/Shellf ishClosures.aspx.

Tigers set for opener
SW regional airport receives $1 million grant By Chelsea Davis
By John Gunther Bandon Western World
Bandon Western World
COQUILLE — Bandon football coach Silia Polamalu said there is no substitute for gamespeed experience to prepare his team for the regular season. The Tigers got just that Friday night in Coquille, when they went against the Red Devils and Reedsport in the annual jamboree. “It was a really good test for where we are,” said Polamalu, whose team opens the regular season Friday night at Rogue River. “Those two teams we played are going to be solid teams this year. “They are two of the better teams we are going to see. They’ve got a lot of experience back.” For Bandon’s line, in particular, that was a valuable opportunity. “For our young line, it was good to get out there and face a varsity team at game speed,” Polamalu said. Bandon’s starting five up front includes three sophomores who have not played a varsity game. Meanwhile, the entire Bandon roster got an eyeopener from watching how hard the other two teams played, Polamalu said. “It gave the kids an eye opener as far as how we are practicing and the intensity getting ourselves ready for a game,” he said. “Our last two days of practice really showed they know they have to be pushing each other harder in practice
NORTH BEND — Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is one step closer to paying off the $20 million bill for its terminal building. The airport received a $1 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration last month, another chunk of its multi-year grant to pay off the construction six years ago of its terminal building. “It’s the last million dollars of our entitlement that we’re using toward the debt reduction,” airport Executive Director Theresa Cook said. The rest of the debt will be paid over 20 years out of the airport’s operating revenue. Those payments could stretch out to 2024 or 2025, she said, unless the airport is able to pay off more early to save on interest. The next annual entitlements the airport receives will go toward construction of a new firefighting station, she said. Construction likely won’t begin for a few years as the airport saves those grant funds. Cook wasn’t at the helm when the terminal project began, but it fell in line with trends across the industry, she said. “Generally, there is a shopping list of items an airport tries to do to be competitive: have a nice control tower, a terminal to accommodate your traffic,” she said. “At the time this was completed, it was in a peak around the country where everyone was experiencing traffic growth, from 2007 to 2008. Since then around

But Friday was the first time to see other teams while in full pads and at full speeds. “We worked real hard this summer trying to get the offense down,” Polamalu said. “You put on the pads, it really changes the speed.”

Polamalu said he was generally happy with the play of new starting quarterback Quentin Coomer. “He hung in there with people in his face,” Polamalu said. “His timing was pretty good. The balls he were throwing were just a little bit off.” The biggest value of the night came in film study with the players after the fact, the coach said. “I think the most productive thing of the
jamboree was sitting down and watching the film,” he said. “It was real easy to see how to fix the mistakes they were doing, and how to make it a positive.” Bandon’s defenders often were just out of place a little bit, meaning a 5-yard gain instead of a 2- or 3-yard gain, Polamalu said. Bandon hopes to turn that around Friday night. “I think we are right on track for where we need to be,” Polamalu said.
Chamber events The Bandon Chamber of Commerce invites the public to the following events: Wednesday, Sept. 17, 4 p.m. — A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned to show off the new Go Native mural on the back of the Bandon Mercantile building. Bandon Mercantile will host. Thursday, Sept. 18, 5:30 p.m . — Comspan Communications is celebrating its move from the City Hall building to the historic McNair Building in Old Town. The celebration will be held all day, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., followed by a ribbon cutting at 5:30. Saturday, Sept. 20, 3 p.m. — Bandon Golf Supply and Bandon Fine Wines is celebrating their new combined businesses as well as the move into a different location at the north end of the Bandon Shopping Center to a central location in a newly remodeled space in the center. A ribbon cutting will be the beginning of a special wine tasting and olive oil tasting event. Saturday, Sept. 27, from 11a.m.-2 p.m. Coastal Community Health Center will hold an open house celebration at its new location in the Bandon Professional Center that will include a ribbon cutting.
the country, they have all experienced the same reduction, but it’s starting to climb up again.” SkyWest Airlines and SeaPort Airlines currently operate out of North Bend’s airport. SkyWest is the regional operator for Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and sometimes Alaska Airlines. SeaPort provides service to and from Portland, regularly carrying passengers making their way to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. “Whoever we’d go after for air service, SkyWest would be the provider,” Cook said. “That said, we do have some things on the horizon I’m not able to speak publicly about because airline negotiations are not public until they are announced.” The airport is “working closely” with SkyWest and Seaport to expand air service, she said, and a Small Community Air Service Development Program grant could help the airport leverage expanded service to California. “Right now, we have a 50-50 chance to get that through LAX or another city in mid-California or the Southern California area,” she said. “For instance, LAX is predominantly the traffic that comes through San Francisco to get here.” Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is one of two in southwestern Oregon that received FAA Airport Improvement Program grants. The city of Roseburg also received $1.3 million to repair apron and taxiway pavement at Roseburg Regional Airport.

Salmon fishery running hot; trout will pick up in the fall Local lakes: Lake temperatures are still high and rainbow trout fishing continues to be slow. This fall, look for lake temperatures to cool down and fishing to pick up. ODFW is scheduled to restock Bradley and Garrison lakes the end of this month. Largemouth bass fishing has remained good on South Coast lakes and ponds. Early mornings or evenings have been best or try shaded areas during the day. Local rivers: Early last week the lower Rogue River at Gold Beach saw numbers of salmon caught which reminded anglers what the fishery was like prior to the dam removal. Since last week, cooler river water has moved the fish out of the bay and fishing has been fair. Fall Chinook fishing on the lower Coquille River was good over the holiday
